The Hybrid’s Guide to Miko Hunting
You Know What They Say…

Kagome frowned as she felt a shadow fall over her, blocking the warmth of the sun from reaching her skin. Opening her eyes and pulling down her sunglasses, she was surprised to find curious claret eyes gazing at her from above.

Smiling, she greeted, “Good morning, Hiei!”

The hybrid nodded to her, his silent acknowledgement, and took a seat beside her in the sand. The miko noted with a blush that he wore no shirt and that his skin was slick with a sheen of sweat. Silently, dreamily, she followed the line of his broad, rippling shoulders and over his muscular chest and chiseled abs, feeling a tingling heat gather in her belly. He wore the same black pants as always, gathered at the ankles, but when her eyes came to his feet she was pleasantly surprised.

“You’re not wearing shoes!” she exclaimed.

Hiei gave her an odd look. “They would only get sand in them,” he reasoned.

The young woman nodded in understanding, and was suddenly embarrassed by her outburst. “Sorry, it’s just that I’ve never seen your feet before.”

One dark brow rose in question. “Is there something wrong with my feet, onna?” He wiggled his bare toes for emphasis.

“No, no,” she rushed to explain, afraid she had offended the attractive youkai. “They’re just so… big!” the miko blurted the first thing that came to mind.

For a moment, the only movement was the swaying palm trees and the crashing waves as the lone occupants of the beach stared at each other.

Hiei smirked. Kagome blushed.
