[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

"Kill the wench!" Someone screamed.
"No! We're to bring her back to Lady Keade"
"Whats this about?" the now freed boy asked, stepping down beside Kagome.
"Shes freed Inuyasha!" men cried out.
"Inuyasha, is it?" Kagome asked politely, as if she were having tea in in 18th century palor. She was takeing small caculated steps back. So small and calm, that no one noticed untill shed grabbed a branch and swung up onto it. Arrows zipped through the air then, ripping just easily through her close and fleash, as a knife through warm butter. Teeth clenched, she made no sound as she fell to the ground in a crouch.
The scent of her sweet blood filled his sences, but no fear. Anger and regert flowed from her. Inuyasha caught his breath as she looked up, her head still bowed, eyes peeking from under delicatly arched brows. Eyes hard, as if this wasn't the first time she'd been coroned, or the first she was faced with death.
Slowly with controled movements, she stood. On her thigh blood darkend the black material of her tight capries.Bright red droplets rolled lazily down her arm. She looked aroud her assesing each of them in turn.
"I knew better," she muttered with a small shake of her head. "Well..." She drawled," how about we make this fair? Give me a waepon." No one moved or spoke, dumb struck. Then a large hunting knife was thrown into the ground infront of her. As they looked at the man who throw it, he shrugged saying, "she a girl what she gonna do wit it?"
Lesurily Kagome strodded towards it, but instead of reaching down and grabbing it, she rushed the man who was clearly the one giving the orders. Using his greater body as a sheild, her arm locked aroung his thaort to keep him in place. He struggled, but frooze imeadiatly when the sharp tip pobbed into his side. Looking down, he saw it was the knife. Gods she was fast to have rushed him and managed to grab it.
"Move a muscle I'll kill him," she assuered them, tightening her hold till he winched.
"That was nice," Inuyasha praised from right behind her. "But I don't think you have the guts to kill," he wispered so ne one else could hear.
Kagome wondered how he got ther, as her fingers sought and found the fimilair spot on his neck. He slumped heavily in her arms, she let him fall to the ground, as she flipped the blade in her hand and swung it behind her. But Inuyasha was no longer there. He was easily knocking men out,
"Touch him I'll kill you," she warned to the man stalking up behind Inuyasha.
Whipping around Inuyasha quickly hit the man. Watching him drop, Inuyasha sighed. She'd just saved him. Not his life, his demon blood would have taken care of it, but she'd saved him from a good bit of pain.
"Thank you, Inuyasha." she said shoving the knife into the waist band of her pants. "Well I must be on my way"
"Grabbing her arm he questioned," Who are you?"
She sighed, maybe he should see someone about this memory problem he seem to be having. "Kagome."
"I know your name, Wench. I mean what are you? You play in the woods like a nymph, fight like a warrior, and dress like a harlet."
"Harlet?!"
"Yet you are untouched."
"Of course I..." her voice drifted off as pungent smoke clouded their lungs, and darkness invaded their minds.
