I'd tell you I'm sorry for the way I ended the last chapter... But I'm really not. ^.^
But here's chapter five for you... Enjoy!
******
She knelt before one of the snake demons she'd slain and ripped the arrow from its flesh. Once she'd aquired all her arrows, she looked down at herself.
"Oh sick, snake guts."
She had to hope against all hope there might be a stream nearby, anything to wash the gunk off her armour. She pulled the map fom her satchel and unfurled it, determining her location and a small river a few miles west.
Kagome set off dancing at an even pace in the direction the river was supposed to be.
******
When he arrived at the site of battle, the bodies of the snakes were decaying at a steady rate and there was no sign of the one who'd defeated them. He lifted his nose to the winds, the scent of sakura blossoms and jasmine strong on the air, the underlying scent of power and purification radiating from the area.
Sesshomaru determined the direction of where the scent was coming from and followed it, only slightly aware that he was also fallowing a set of footprints. He was greatly looking forward to meeting the bearer of such a powerful scent, even if it was a woman.
******
After checking the area for intrudors and removing her armour and most of her clothes, she slipped into the cool water, carrying the spiked scale with her. She knelt a small distance in and began scrubbing the snakes insides from her armour.
"Fucking disgusting snakes," she complained. For all her efforts, the excements were really stuck. She rose from her place in the water, leaving her armour there, to walk to her bag. She filtered through the contents; sock, book, sock number two, band-aids... "Aha!" she declared triumphantly as she pulled forth what she was looking for. "Armour polish."
Kagome made her way back to her armour with the polish and a washcloth, determined to have it shine the way it did before the snakes decided to spray their insides all over her. She opened the top of the bottle and emptied some of the contents onto the cloth, dipping it in the water before lathering it over the chestplate.
"And at last we meet," a familiar voice sounded from behind her. She jolted around onto her feet, nearly dropping the armour polish and soapy washcloth. She was caught completely off guard, and by the one person she'd never truly expected to come into contact with again.
"You!" she exclaimed. When she saw the shock in his eyes replaced by that trademark smirk, she came back to virtual reality and her eyes widened as she realized she was wearing only her underwear. She threw the armour polish at his head and crossed her arms over her breasts before screaming, "Fucking pervert!"
******
If he hadn't been so thorougly amused with the wench, he might have pretended he wasn't pleased with the appearance of her body. As it were, for a human she was flawless. He had to resist the urge to find out of her skin was as silky as it looked, and though she tried to hide her breasts, he knew they'd fit perfectly in the palms of his hands.
"I assure you I am no pervert, I am here on business," he calmly replied.
"And it's your business to rape me with your eyes?" she demanded. Her modesty was most unbecoming. With a body like that, a woman could go far should she choose to flaunt it for the right male. "And would you fucking turn around already?"
He chose to ignore the rape remark, but he turned around as she desired. "I assume you are the woman who defeated the snake demons," he stated, wondering about the sanity of such a foul-mouthed wench.
******
She knelt in the water again, hurrying to clean her armour. "What the fuck of it?"
"I am lord here, bitch, it is my duty to see to what is being done on my lands."
She looked up at his back, her eyes narrowed and a deadly expression on her face. "I have a name, asshole," she ground out, frustrated beyond belief. "It's Kagome. Remember? Ka-go-me." Shen went back to scrubbing her armour, the polish working most effectively. "What do I have to do," she complained to herself, "write it on his forehead in bold permanent marker?"
"I heard that," he called back at her.
"Stupid demon hearing," she grumbled as the last of the snake slime came free of her scale mail. She rushed out of the water to her clothes, quickly yanking on her leggings and undershirt. "I'm decent," she said, yawning as she did so before pulling her armour over her body and clasping it in place.
******
When he turned around she had just finished readorning herself in her armour and was making herself ready to put on her mantle. The songs from the old bards drifted back to him, tales of a beautiful warrior of the Higurashi line. It was hard to believe this slip of a girl could be the one they sang about, but what difference did it make either way?
He turned his attention back to the reason he had come searching for her. "Why did you slaughter those demons?"
She shrugged her shoulders, looking herself over. "They were raiding the eastern villages. Somebody had to do it."
"And you decided to nominate yourself for the position?"
She shook her head, no, then reached down and grabbed her bag.
"Then what?" he demanded, growing impatient with the indifference she displayed towards him.
"The villagers asked me to. They're all so dreadfully afraid of the great lord Sesshomaru they had to get a foreigner to do the job for them." For some reason she found that quite humorous and laughed.
"And just what is so funny, bitch?" He was determined that he wouldn't murder her, but the way she was testing his patience... She'd be lucky if she lived the next few minutes.
******
She approached him, stopping when she was a few feet in front of him. She was completely amazed with herself. She could tell he was extremely angry, and yet she couldn't seem to make herself stop.
She grinned at him. "They don't even live here and they fear you. Don't see why though." She took this time to give him the once-over he'd given her when he arrived. She moved even closer to him, her right hand coming up to rest on his chest. "You're not that scary. Just a big fluffy puppy waiting for someone to pet him."
If she were anyone else, she might have been afraid when she saw the red seeping into his eyes. But she wasn't anyone else, she was Kagome Higurashi. And she wasn't afraid of anything.
She began the log-out sequence and lifted her other hand up to his pointed ear, softly rubbing the back of his earlobe. She smiled when she felt him purring, and, holding onto the back of his neck, she pulled his face down to hers and kissed him softly on the mouth.
Before she faded from virtual reality, she whispered into his ear, "I'll be around if you ever want someone to pet you, Fluffy."
