Enjoy. ?
~~~~~~~Chapter 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~
… “Quit hiding, I know you’re there,” the figure spoke in a very cold tone. She froze. “Crap! What do I do?” she thought. She quickly came up with pros and cons of hiding, running, and showing herself, and finally came to the conclusion to climb down. She knew she could not outrun him or beat him in a fight. The best option was to reason with him.
She descended down from her high perch and landed gracefully a safe distance away from the youkai. The amber-eyed creature watched as a hanyou he had never seen before leapt down from the sky. She was beautiful. He never took interest in people or youkai around him, but this young hanyou seemed to spike his attention. She had an odd and revealing fashion sense and had the most piercing blue eyes.
“What do you want? And why are you here?” she asked, her voice disrupting his thoughts. He quickly recomposed himself and replied, “My name is of no concern to you, and my business is my own. You, woman, have no right to question me. You do not own these lands.”
Kagome’s youki flared at the term ‘woman’. She hated it, even more now that she was half demon. She didn’t know why, but thought it was probably her animalistic side clawing at its cage. As her anger grew, so did her scent. It quickly saturated the surrounding air, unintentionally luring the youkai to take a step forward. Kagome’s eyes widened, ‘What the hell? Back up!’ her thoughts screamed.
She was as stiff as can be and on-edge. Her adrenaline had kicked in, making her scent flare once more. She was ready: fight-or-flight. With every step he took towards her, Kagome matched backwards. The tango they danced was slow, and deadly. It gave them both time to assess the enemy. Kagome could sense he was powerful, and knew not to make any sudden movements. She could already tell by his demeanor and youki, that he would not hesitate to kill. Eyes darting everywhere, she realized that he was like Shippou, a fox demon. Her head tilted slightly, and her eyes and ears perked up in curiosity.
His steps deepened.
Fear spiked within her. Feeling more threatened, and not being able to take the ever building tension, she half blurted out half screamed, “Ever heard of personal boundaries, fox!?” Her miko powers and youki had unknowingly combined and gave off an offensive and threatening vibe. The youkai raised an eyebrow, “So, she wants a fight?” he thought.
Before she could understand what had just transpired, she saw the fox taking the offensive position ready to pounce. Had she done something wrong? Without the time to even blink, he charged at her and delivered kicks and punches. Kagome’s past miko training and new found demon speed let her keep up with the youkai, blocking and dodging when necessary. What the hell?! She needed to get away as soon as she could!
The demon looked at her curiously.
The hanyou wanted a fight, yet when he initiated, she only took to defense. “What was she playing at?” he thought. She practically begged him to come closer, and almost immediately ran away. He looked her over once again. She was peculiar.
Now, more intrigued than anything, his attacks became a test of her physical abilities. He admired her speed, her focus, and her ferocity. Keeping up with him for this long, he gave her some credit; she was a worthy ‘adversary’.
She was tiring quickly and had to get away. But every time she was able to put some distance between them, the more persistent the fox became in chasing her down. “Please! I mean you no harm or disrespect! I am just on my way to visit a friend!” she exclaimed. But still, he advanced.
New tactic. She dug deep into her miko powers. She would prove to him she was not a weak hanyou and beat him.
With a sudden burst of energy, she took control of the fight. Kagome charged at the fox, punching back with more speed and precision than before, and with a pink hue encompassing her attacks. “What is this?” the fox thought, again raising an eyebrow. Her form told him she was inexperienced in fighting, but her speed and youki, told him otherwise. And with this extra energy she had somehow mustered, he could feel her hits getting in, even if only a little, he still felt it. She was very odd, and he needed to observe her more.
“I need another strategy”, he thought, and jumped high into the air, disappearing from her sight.
‘What the heck--?’ she looked around frantically. She could tell he was close. It was now or never. She would get rid of him once and for all and run to Kaede. Kagome slowed her movements and calmed down her nerves. Then closing her eyes, she looked deep inside of her and tapped into the energy she knew was there. She struggled to reach deep to use the energy, but with the element of surprise on her side, she knew she would succeed. She used the remains of her miko powers and obliterated the surrounding area into charcoal dust. Her chest heaved.
That had taken much more of her than she thought. After she regained her composure, she stretched out her senses and came up with nothing. He was gone. Thank God. She was barely standing, and she needed to get out of the dangerous forest as quickly as she could. She took one last look around her, and headed towards the village in a light jog.
As she made her way to Kaede’s hut, she began scolding herself. How could she have let that happen?! Also, she needed to calm her nerves, but for some reason she couldn’t. Her demon side was still on edge. She looked back from time to time, thinking it would shake the feeling. But it proved futile. Damn these demon senses. Logic told her she was safe, but her body refused to listen! Frustrating as it was, it was good to know her body was careful. And only when she was a safe distance away, did she let out a small cocky smile.
Unknown to her, sharp amber eyes were watching her, and her smirk had called to him. It tempted him, and practically begged him to dominate her. He had just barely escaped from her pink burst of power with a slight singe. And still, he was drawn to her. Especially now that she had no idea of his existence; her lack of energy had falsely informed her of his demise.
He smirked. It seemed wrong to not answer her small smile’s request. He used his youkai speed and tackled her from behind to the ground. He was suddenly straddling Kagome from behind. His knees encased her arms to her sides, and his weight tightly held her in place. He could smell her scent spike again with fear, and immediately, his instincts told him to dive his nose into her hair, “She smells fantastic!”
Fear had overcome Kagome in record time. As she fell, she saw a flash of silver and knew right then that her demon side was right from the beginning. Goddamnit! When she felt something on the back of her neck, she stiffened, ‘Was he smelling her?’
“Get off of me!” Kagome screamed, hurting her own ears at the same time. She yanked her head back as quickly as she could, catching him straight in the nose. The slightest falter in his grasp was all she needed.
She wriggled free of his grip and fled, “Don’t you dare touch me!” she yelled. She did NOT need this right now, especially when she had only been a hanyou for just a few hours! Tears were threatening to spill from her eyes, but she would not let them fall. She ran now, almost pathetically, as fast as she could. She had no energy left. And almost as if on cue, the fox demon appeared in the clearing ahead of her. She tensed up. There was nowhere else to go, and there was nothing left she could do. He circled her, observing her. He could see how innocent and pure she was, and he wanted her. He HAD to have her.
What was she going to do? She was going to die, in the middle of the forest, hundreds of years in the past! Inuyasha didn’t know she was back, and her family had almost no clue as to what she was up to. She looked at the youkai, and could see the way he looked at her. She was a meal-on-wheels that had walked directly into his path. How could she have been so stupid? She was doomed. Her chest heaved up and down.
No.
She blinked the tears away. She would not go down without a fight!
She looked across the clearing at the murderous youkai, standing very still, ready to attack her. For what seemed like hours, neither of them moved. Kagome could tell she was losing it. Her determination was slipping away, and she knew she was defeated. She let out a small sigh, and almost immediately, the youkai’s posture straightened. He blinked his eyes, and his previous predatory stare was no longer, “May I please have the honor of knowing your full name?”
After another long pause, this time from confusion rather than fear, she barely whispered, “Kagome Higurashi”.
“Kagome Higurashi,” he looked deep into her gaze, “Get ready.”
With a smirk plastered on his face, he ran towards her full speed. She braced herself for the impact of whatever was to come. But just when he was about to reach her, he flipped above and over her head and landed behind her once again. Had Kagome been at full attention and energy she would have noticed, but all she could think was that the fox had disappeared again! One minute he was running directly at her, the next, he was gone! “Where did he go now?” she thought to herself.
As if reading her mind, he answered her question. He reached his hands above her head and very delicately tweaked her raven ears, deliberately disobeying her previous order to not touch her. Kagome shrieked, and leapt away from him while covering her ears for dear life. ‘What the hell was that?!’ It had felt so unnatural to her. She touched her own ears, and again, it was TOO weird! She didn’t think anything on her body was that sensitive.
Pulling her from her newest discovery, he taunted, “What? Scared now?” Almost immediately, and regrettably, she let go of her ears, stood up straight, and scoffed, “What? Scared of you? Don’t make me laugh!”
CRAP! What the hell had she said? Something in her was making her want to prove her worth, and she needed to stop NOW if she wanted to live. Clearly not buying her bluff, the fox began to advance. Right away, he could smell the scent of fear rising with every step. Like a déjà-vu, she stepped away from him, but this time, she backed into a tree.
She tried to sink further into the hard bark, but to no avail. He was upon her in seconds and menacingly placed both hands on either side of her head, and spoke, “I, Youko Kurama, take you, Kagome Higurashi,” he paused and breathed her in once more, “as my mate”. Kagome stared on, wide-eyed, as the demon lowered his head, claiming her lips in his own. Her instincts took over and she quickly raised her hands and pressed them against his chest, trying to dislodge him from her mouth. Her pushing was futile, but then a blast of miko energy exploded from her palms. Her hidden miko powers had saved her. The force had sent him straight into a neighboring tree, stunning him, and effectively giving her enough time to flee the forest and reach Kaede’s village.
~~~~~
Kagome awoke from her well-deserved sleep on Kaede’s tatami mat. Inuyasha was nowhere near the village, so she was free from insults today. The conversation with the woman last night was not what she had expected but it was better than nothing. Kaede had no knowledge of the flower and would visit her friend in the next village to see if he knew anything. Until then, Kagome was told to sit tight and wait. Having nothing to do, she helped local villagers who still recognized her, after much debate, as the reincarnated Kikyo.
A pair of amber eyes kept watch, noticing her gentleness with the villagers. He tried to forget her, tried to convince himself there were other more powerful and full youkai out there, but she continued to haunt his mind. Watching her gave him the exhilarating feeling of a predator watching its prey, or at least until something disturbed his peace of mind.
