Someone was shaking her, and out of instinct, she slapped the hand away. Sam!
With a start she sat up, holding her head as the room spinned, double-vision fading to reveal Kagome - and what appeared to be the inside of a small hut. Awesome.
How are you feeling?
Depends, her mind murmured. After all, how does one feel after finding out theyre in the past, and demons exist? Better. It wasnt a lie, because hell, she was awake now, and definitely not dead. So, hurray, she wasnt crazy or in some kind of hyper realistic dream, but god damn, because it was Feudal Japan. I gotta ask - are you a demon too, or something? I mean, how did you know about the well?
Sitting down beside her more, Kagome took the time to explain everything. Her birthday, being dragged into the well, meeting Inuyasha, the Shikon Jewel, her friends - all the way to Naraku, who was apparently some super evil that even other demons wanted to get rid of. Not that she was surprised, he sounded like an A Class douchebag.
Villains were fun in stories, when you knew everything was going to be okay; but...here? Life already sounded hard enough without that to add onto it. She had to comment Kagome, though. Anyone else mightve said See ya! and just left everyone to deal with it, but she was sacrificing a lot to live two lives, and help out.
Also, she was a miko, which gave her a bit of an advantage.
Her nose scrunched some as she felt the telling signs of a headache, which probably had something to do with the near constant clash of metal outside. Whats the deal out there anyway? Obviously whatever problem theyre trying to solve isnt working very well. She couldve sworn she heard a huff, but it was ignored.
Patting her on the back, Kagome stood, and offered a hand. Its best just to let them go at it until someone is unconscious or decides the other isnt worth the trouble.
By the funny face Kagome gave, she could only guess which one was going to be unconscious if it came down to it.
Fingers brushing long strands of dark hair back, she cursed herself for not having the foresight to bring a hair tie or scrunchie to keep it out of her face. Next time, if there was a next time anyway. It was obvious that shed be able to get home, but would she want to come back?
Duh, She murmured gently to herself. Of course she would. Eh, so, I feel like Im kind of intruding. I mean, it seems like you guys got your own tight knit group and-
Kagomes hand covered her mouth for a moment, her grin whittling away the remaining worry she had. Relax, Sam! Its not a big deal, alright? Itll be nice to have another girl around. It looked like for the first time in a long time, shed actually get a chance to engage in girl talk!
It mightve seemed silly, but she was actually excited about it. Well, Ill try to act more like a girl then. For your sake.
Both of them were laughing faintly as the excited the hut, and were greeted by a few friendly pairs of eyes - and one that couldve been mistaken for dead if it werent for the faint moving of shoulders that indicated breathing. That, and well...
Wow.
He was gorgeous. Kind of ridiculously gorgeous, too. Long hair that matched Inuyashas, with a tint of silver versus white, gold eyes, an indigo crescent moon upon a noble brow and duo magenta stripes slashing across his cheeks. Pale complexion, but without the pastiness white humans got when they didnt go out under the sun. The only crime was, she was pretty sure he was prettier than her. And, well, she didnt mind someone being prettier than her, but dammit, he was a guy!
Er, male demon. with typical male genetialia...she assumed. Hoped. Whatever.
Distraction came in the form of Sango and Miroku, who were exceptionally welcoming, and eager to hear stories from Tokyo, and Canada. Some of the telling required background knowledge or side-stories, but they were still happy to hear whatever she had to say about the future.
Talking to them was very relaxing, and she found herself getting quite animated to the point where a small crowd drew - the kit, Shippo became perched on her shoulder, and even little Rin (who apparently traveled with pretty boy) had taken a spot closer to the main group to listen. She couldnt remember ever talking this much at once in her life, but she was surprised how easy it was, even with the explanations that needed to be done at some points.
Sundown snuck up on them, and before long, everyone was, more or less, preparing to turn in. Kagome was quick to grab her for a bath out in a nearby springs, which she could hardly complain about.
Peeling off her clothes (which were still clean, thank Jehova), Sam slipped into the warm waters with a content sigh, and leaned against a rock, stifling a laugh when some water splashed her face when the other woman joined her. Someones eager, She teased, which earned a soapy loofa in her face. Rubbing it languidly along her arms, she had to admit, bathing in a hot spring even beat a jacuzzi.
While there were no jets, the scenery was gorgeous, and the sound of the night really helped set the mood. Pulling her hair over her shoulders, she let it cover her breasts, to add just a smidge of modesty.
Quite the, eh, tension back there.
A brow raised in questioning, Kagome paused lathering up her hair for a moment and shrugged. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru never got along, so thats to be expected.
Flicking some water with her fingers, she managed to get a small splash on the miko, lips pulled into a lopsided smirk. I wasnt talkin about Inuyasha and his big bad brother. I meant him and you.
That hit a nerve, and because the other women was suddenly very red, and sputtering. Unable to help it, Sam laughed, muffling the sound slightly with the back of her arm to keep from positively howling. Oh, it was too good.
Kagome looked like a tomato, and it was absolutely priceless. There is nothing going on between-
Combing her fingers through the ends of her hair, she shrugged, unable to wipe a silly grin off of her face. Please, I could cut that sexual tension with a knife. Hell, pretty sure every other demon there could smell it, too. No wonder his brother was being all antisocial and looked pissy.
The blue-eyed female tittered, playfully bumping hips with her. He always looks like that. Dont think on it too much, alright? Guys a total demon elitist.
...And obviously a hypocrite.
That too.
Biting her lip, she leaned in closer to the priestess, slinging an arm over her shoulder as she murmured thoughtfully. But, he is, as the British say, oh so fit.
That earned a dunking as far as Kagome was concerned.
