Shades Of Red

Chapter 7…Disrupted

After a time the bright full moon drew her attention from the past and in to the misty world around her…Night had finally fallen...leaving an eerie silence over the abandoned plains…

Moving over to the shadowy pools of rice…she slowly let the black cloak fall from her pale form…discarding the other two pieces of clothing…Kagome silently slipped in to the cool water…coming a little above her waist

Ducking under she emerged moments later…the water carving rivets across her white flesh and ebony hair…the moon cast it milky rays across this lone form…or so it seemed…

Moving swiftly through the shadows a very annoyed taiyoukai followed the distinct scent that penetrated the rice fields…that little wench had the nerve to assault his person and take his gold…the nerve…he had even surprised him self that he hadn't killed her right there and then in the shop…but he had more pressing matters to attend to…

Nikishi the beautiful hooded female youkai had brought him the news of his detested half brother's untimely death…This dark crimson haired and cinnamon eyed spy also described the graphic details that gave evidence to the presence of a certain strong twisted demon…growling in his throat he grimaced at the thought that he had once had an alliance with that sick mind

…this was a problem for his unstained name…dammit what the hell he needed to dispose of this new rival as quickly and cleanly as possible… if news of this escaped…clenching his jaw against the thought…

Not only that but the Youkai's aura that infested the death scene had led him in no direction what so ever to hunt and kill the murder…just his luck …the village by Inuyasha's forest had been burned to the ground and no witness that he knew of survived…Just his fucking luck

He was soon distracted by a high concentration of the offending youkai/wench's scent that perplexed him…how could a human female posses a smell so masculine and so demon… Sniffing the nearby brush…his head snapped to attention as he caught a fleeting glimpse of the human emerging from a watery rice flat…

Pausing a moment he sneered as he saw she was wearing no weapon...hell she wasn't wearing anything…letting his eyes wander to the bank he saw that all her possessions lay there…fool… that wench was to far from her bag to do as much as protect her self….how stupid

Her back to him… he drew nearer to the woman…to far out to reach and not worth getting his robes wet…silently stealing her clothes and bag he moved back to the concealing bushes

…quickly surveying the scene as she sank back below the rippling surface…he searched through her stuff...he soon discovered the youkai-ish scent came from the black cloak that had hidden her…she had probably stolen it from some careless demon…the only other significant findings included a small curiously designed knife and two unidentifiable pieces of cloth that he couldn't figure out the uses of… until he sniffed them and identified the general vicinity…

His not so holy thoughts were disrupted as he saw her move to the shore…moving as fast as lightning he grabbed her wrist before she became totally aware of the absence of her belongings…

Swinging her around …and pinning her back to his chest…he finally was able to obtain her true scent…almost like ginger and salt tears…something jogged his memory…

<<He was distracted from his battle with his irritating half brother by a blazing arrow shot somewhere from his left…lighting up the air with it's holy glow laced with the archers spicy scent…it came in direct contact with his sword causing it to transform >>

Gasping as the ground was ripped from under her…Kagome was pulled against an attacker by a death grip…shocked that her miko powers had not alarmed her earlier of this intruder…she was soon helpless in this overpowering youkai's arms…
