Demon Nature
Chapter Nine

“I can’t believe you destroyed both of my only under garments in one night!”
InuYasha groaned as Kagome chastised him from his back, obviously still upset about the destruction of her flimsy clothes. Regardless of how her current mood was, he couldn’t help but to smirk recalling how cute she had been when she had made the discovery back in the cave. Having had finally settled everything between them, he had inquired as to why she had been traipsing around in the woods last night.
After she had explained how she had been in search of her lost shoes since the weather was starting to get colder, he had agreed to take her to search for them; even though it went against his better judgement. As he had stood adjusting his clothes and waiting for her to do the same with his red suikan she still wore, he had heard the strangest sound from her.
It was a cross between a gasp and a squeak. Her stormy eyes had widened in horror while gaping down at her chest area. Each of her hands held his crimson shirt slightly open to where, unfortunately, only she could see down inside.
It hadn’t taken long for him to figure out what had her acting so strangely. For those beautiful eyes of hers had locked on him quickly in a heated glare, unmistakably displeased. However, no matter how angry her stare portrayed her to be, her voice had betrayed her as she spoke; unwillingly allowing her embarrassment to be apparent.
“You cut my bra in half?!”
InuYasha had been puzzled for a moment by the word she had used, but he had been quick in catching up. Remembering the article of flimsy cloth that had covered her breast, that might he add had been in the way, he smirked recalling how he had slit it down the middle. Apparently, that cloth was called a bra.
Having then given her a fanged smirk and a devilish look, he had not been able to help but to tease her as had he spoke smoothly.
“It was in the way.”
That clearly had not been the response she had expected. Her eyes had quickly avoided his and directed her glare at the object in question. Staying silent, she had turned her back to him. InuYasha had watched curiously as she did a little maneuvering to get the torn garment off and then brought it up to her face for closer inspection.
He had heard her mumble something about ‘needle and thread’ before she put the flimsy material away. She had then turned to him and stated calmly that she was ready, although she had done a good job at not looking him directly in the face. Having felt some pity on the poor girl, he had decided to be helpful instead of tease more.
“I’ll try to find some supplies to fix it ok?”
The shy smile she had given him had warmed his heart, and quickly had him urging her onto his back wishing to be closer. As soon as he had felt her settle against him, he had taken off into the forest at a leisure pace. He had begun to relax, having his mate so close and the warm sun shining down on them, when said mate had to ask more questions…
“So… where’s my bottom underwear?”
His eyes had widened some remembering how completely he had destroyed that particular piece of cloth. He had to clear his throat before speaking, trying very hard not to sound too pleased with himself.
“Yeah… those… let’s just say those can’t be fixed.”
Which led InuYasha to his current situation. Having his ear tugged on with a fuming mate grumbling at him.
“I can’t believe you did that! What am I supposed to wear underneath my clothes now? Scratch that, under your clothes! Because you cut up my clothes on day one!”
Picking up his pace, he rushed to get them to the area she may have lost her shoes as quickly as possible. He wasn’t sure how much more abuse his ear could take. Although he did feel bad that his mate was without proper attire to keep her warm, and it was getting colder by the day…
“Look I’ll get you some clothes alright?! Just stop tugging on my ear woman!”
Feeling the immediate relief to his ear and the gentle pressure on his shoulder from her hand being placed there was the only response InuYasha received. His miko became shockingly quiet for the next few moments. Instead of feeling relieved for the reprieve, her unusual silence only worried him.
Spotting the large branches of the Sacred Tree, he hurried to land at its base. He intended to check on his mate to make sure everything was ok; surely, she wasn’t that mad at him? However, he forgot what he was doing when his eyes landed on the scar that marked where he had been pinned for so long.
His honey eyes narrowed as he stared at the Tree of Ages in contemplation. A part of him despised this tree. How many years of his life had been wasted imprisoned here by that traitorous bitch?
Yet, wasn’t it strange that he felt at peace being in its’ presence and thankful for it? After all, because of this tree, because of the actions of that bitch miko, he met Kagome. That alone was enough to erase any negative holds this Sacred Tree may still have had.
“I’m sorry”
The soft sound of his raven-haired beauty speaking to him from his back, brought InuYasha back from his reflections. He was bewildered at first by her apology, but she quickly followed it up with a gentle ear rub to the fuzzy canine she had abused earlier; making her meaning clear.
“I shouldn’t sound so ungrateful, you’ve taken really good care of me and I know we don’t have a lot. I guess I’m still use to having modern luxuries. And I definitely shouldn’t be tugging at your cute ears.”
InuYasha was only half listening to her sweet voice, the majority of his focus was on the magic her fingers held. Damn his woman could give an ear rub! His head had started to unconsciously lean into her hand and his eyes had somehow closed without his knowledge.
The spell she held him under was broken though, when she referred to his ears as “cute”. Blushing slightly despite himself, he straightened up and slowly released her legs so she could stand. Once his arms were freed he crossed them and turned to give his petite offender his best glare.
“Hey! They are not ‘cute’!”
She must not have found him very intimidating, either that or she saw through his façade. Whichever way Kagome only let out a soft giggle at his response before reaching up to give his cute appendage one last tweak. Her smile only grew as he twitched the little fuzzy triangle away while trying to keep his stern look.
“Sure sure, now help me find my shoes.”
Grumbling some about bossy wenches before he completely dropped his façade, InuYasha then took in several deep breathes through his nose. His brows knitted together when he didn’t immediately catch his mates scent lingering around on anything. Although, it had been about two weeks and had rained some since she had last worn the things.
Kneeling down on all fours, he began to sniff at the ground to better his chances of picking up her scent. Pretty soon he was bouncing around inspecting different areas and letting out a low growl as he was still coming up short.
Kagome let out another small giggle at InuYasha’s actions. Honestly, he did act very dog like at times. She supposed that was to be expected since he was a dog demon… well half of one at least.
Forcing herself to focus on the task at hand, and not the adorable flustered growls her mate was letting out, she started retracing her steps from the fateful night she lost her shoes. However, she found it hard to concentrate after thinking of that gorgeous demon as her mate. The thought caused her cheeks to pink as her mind started to wonder, remembering everything that had transpired between the two of them. Everything they had said to each other, everything they had… done.
‘Geez, get ahold of yourself! You’re basically his wife, you can’t turn into a tomato every time you do stuff.’
That line of thinking only caused her blush to deepen. Despite the fact that he had agreed to take his time with her, to court her even, Kagome knew that eventually they would get intimate again. Except she was even more embarrassed to realize part of her couldn’t wait for that to happen.
Stepping out into a sunny clearing, she was jerked from her thoughts when a bright ray of sun hit her eyes. Shielding her face from the sun, she blinked rapidly a few times trying to get her sight to adjust. When her vision finally cleared, she caught her breath as she realized exactly where she had wondered to. Steel-blues landing on the old well, her heart ached in her chest and her mind ran frantic with worry.
Was her family ok? Had they given up hope in finding her? Did they think she had been kidnapped? Or worse, that she was dead? Had they grieved over her? What if they still were grieving? What about Souta? He had been there when it had happened. No one probably believed him…
Unconsciously placing her hand over the pocket where the Sacred Jewel resided, Kagome felt a strange pull and found herself walking towards the magic well that had brought her to this strange time. Her heart hurt from beliefs of what her family must be going through. She missed them all so much. What she wouldn’t give to see them again.
Inching closer and closer to the old run down well, she couldn’t stop her next thought from passing through her mind. Her desire to see her family so strong, the idea just eased its way into her.
Perhaps the well would take her back.
Fear suddenly struck her at the notion, causing her feet to halt. Realizing just how close she had gotten to the ancient dirty well, she quickly took a few steps back. Her mind quickly filled with images of another whom she cared deeply for. What about InuYasha? Eyes hard, she scowled at the magic well as if it were a living thing trying to trick her.
The heat in her eyes didn’t last, however, and was soon replaced with a deep grief. Kagome loved her family, she really did. Yet… she couldn’t leave InuYasha. No matter how strong the temptation was to jump down that enchanted well in hopes of seeing her family, the fear that she wouldn’t see InuYasha ever again was stronger.
Those thoughts only distressed and mystified her more, leaving her emotional from so many conflicting feelings. The pinprick of tears building in her eyes caused the well to blur in her vision, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. She wanted to be strong... she would be strong.
Suddenly a small yellow flower held between two clawed fingers came into her line of sight, cutting off her view of the well. Feeling the presence of her protector directly behind her, Kagome’s breath caught as she felt the warmth of his hit her ear as he spoke.
“I know you miss your family, and this life was kinda thrust on you… But I swear Kagome I’ll do my best to make you happy and to make things easy for you.”
InuYasha nervously watched as Kagome turned her head to gaze into his eyes a moment before her blue-grays travelled back to the yellow flower he still held up for her. Seeing the small smile that graced her lips as she reached up to take the flower from him, instantly relaxed him. He had been on edge since he had first found her in the clearing, upset and so damn close to that ancient well.
Knowing his gift had improved her mood, he was so grateful he had found the flower.
He had found the little yellow rose all alone in a bush while he had been sniffing around in search of her lost shoes. Astonished at finding a rose still in bloom this close to them being out of season, InuYasha hadn’t hesitated in cutting it from its home. It would make a lovely gift for his mate and he was supposed to be courting her was he not?
Immediately he had gone in search of her to offer his gift; extremely pleased with having found something pretty to give her. However, his good mood left him when he found her in the clearing standing so close to the well.
She had just stood there staring at it, and the longer she stared the more sorrow he could feel filling her through their bond. He knew that the well had been the passageway from her home to here. He knew she had family on the other side of it and certainly knew that she missed that family. Too many times now he had caught her crying or close to tears. Each time she had simply given him a forlorn smile saying she just missed her family and would get over it. The encounters never lasted long, and never were as bad as her first night here when he’d heard her crying.
But still… Did she want to try to go back? He knew she had tried before, after all that was where he’d found her near death. Would the well even work to take her back? It hadn’t before, but then again, he had no idea why it had brought her here to begin with.
Having been unable to stand the grief he felt coming from his mate any longer, InuYasha had made his way toward her intent on making her happy. When he had first reached her, he hadn’t known what to say. Remembering his gift, he was struck with inspiration and had held it up in her line of sight.
Observing her now as she held the small rose to her nose, a larger smile taking over her face as she breathed in its fragrance, he gave a small smile of his own. Her happiness was his and he’d do anything to make her happy. His ear gave a twitch as he heard her soft voice whisper a ‘thank you’.
“Keh, ain’t no big deal.”
Kagome giggled at his typical response after having done something sweet. Her heart warmed at the playful smirk he gave her. It amazed her how effortlessly he could change her mood and make her happy. Wanting to show him how much she appreciated his thoughtful gift and kind words, she pushed back her embarrassment and swallowed hard in preparation for what she was about to do.
Holding her beautiful flower in her left hand, she placed her right on his chest and quickly stretched up on her tippy-toes. Placing a soft kiss to his cheek, she couldn’t help but to smile against him. Her own cheeks tinted a light pink as she pulled back expecting to see his teasing smirk.
However, the sour look on his face erased all the playfulness and happiness she was feeling; replacing it with uncertainty and the feeling that maybe she had done something out of line. InuYasha’s black eyebrows were drawn tightly together, the look in his golden eyes hard, and his ears stood stiff in attention.
“I’m sor…”
“Shh!”
After he cut off her apology wanting her to remain silent, Kagome examined InuYasha closely getting the feeling something wasn’t right. Her own delicate brows scrunched together in concentration as she saw InuYasha tilt his head to look over his shoulder in the direction of the Sacred Tree. Realization was dawning on her as he began to glare heatedly into the forest.
InuYasha only acted like this right before a fight was about to happen…
Her suspicions were confirmed when he spoke, his voice low and deep and leaving no room for argument.
“Kagome, give me the jewel and hide…”

Miroku sighed as he continued on trucking through the forest following after his strong-willed wife, his staff jingling in his right hand with every step. He had not been able to speak with her in private to discuss the things Hiroshi had confided in him. As soon as they had reached the village Sango and the villagers had been all business.
There had been no break or pleasantries when they had been taken to the hut that belong to the village priestess. The elderly miko had been ready to go as soon as she had heard they had been spotted entering the village. Evidently, she felt she could fill them in on the situation thoroughly enough as she took them to the location all the chaos had taken place.
He had tried making eye contact with his wife’s lovely brown eyes on more than one occasion; thinking maybe he could gain her attention enough for her to know that he needed to speak with her. However, fate was not on his side and Sango’s attention was focused in on Lady Kaede as the old priestess spoke to them.
“Fifty years has passed since my sister sealed the demon InuYasha to the Tree of Ages and carried the Sacred Jewel with her into the netherworld. For it to have returned after all these years does not bode well. Not to forget that InuYasha has awoken from my sisters’ spell. Her seal should have lasted forever.”
Glancing in his wife’s direction Miroku took in her sleek form in her fighting gear, noting her grip on her weapon and how battle ready she already was. Wishing to avoid a possible unnecessary battle, he was just about to speak up to inquire about the demon InuYasha. Hoping to use this opportunity to calm Sango’s itching fingers to prevent her from reaching too quickly for the hiraikotsu. His wife, however, beat him to it and asked her own question.
“What about the girl that was mentioned? Could she be the cause? Your note was hastily written Lady Kaede, from it I gathered the girl was in need of rescuing. Yet I heard some of the village men muttering about a dark priestess?”
“My child, I am afraid I do not have all the answers for I was not there to bare witness to what transpired. The circumstances of this young girls’ arrival due indeed seem to be suspicious, a lot of the village men who were there have mixed views on what happened. However, one man in particular, whoms’ word I trust most, confided that she only appeared to be a terrified young lass.”
Sango’s brows drew together in worry and determination. She would save this poor girl no matter what! As well as return the Jewel of Four Souls into safe hands. Glaring hard straight ahead at a large mystic tree, her voice was harsh as she promised Lady Kaede that all would be righted.
“Don’t you worry Lady Kaede, I’ll find the lost girl and kill this demon who has stolen both her and the jewel!”
Kaede’s steps faltered at hearing the female warriors’ words. The woman thought InuYasha had taken the girl? While Kaede did not know for sure herself, she hated guessing at what had transpired and being misinformed. That only led to confusion and hasty rash actions.
Intent on correcting the young woman’s conclusion of the situation, Kaede was cut off before she had the chance to speak by the monk.
“I sense the presence of a powerful demon! And something else as well… I believe it’s the jewel!”
Kaede’s gaze looked passed the Sacred Tree into the direction of the clearing beyond, her one good eye widening at the sudden demonic aura she felt. A powerful aura that seemed to come out of nowhere, yet still felt familiar to her after all these years…
Suddenly, the young demon slayer lass took off in the direction they could feel the demonic presence coming from. Her small lethal form fast on her feet even with the added weight of her large weapon and tiny kitten passenger. The monk quickly followed after his battle-ready bride, calling out her name imploring for her to stop before rushing into battle.
Kaede hurried her own pace as best as her old bones would allow. Her hand clutching a hidden object in her breast pocket, prepared for the worst and ready to remedy the situation if need be. After all, she had once considered the demon InuYasha to be her friend…

Sango burst through some foliage into a large clearing with an old beat up well just in time to see a streak of red and white jump from the trees to land in front of her. Her chocolate eyes narrowed as she took in the demons’ appearance before her, disliking him immediately. Especially the way he stood so arrogantly.
“Are you the demon InuYasha?!”
Her voice was hard when she called out to him; but when her only response from him was the narrowing of his blood chilling crimson-gold eyes, Sango clenched her fist tight as her anger grew.
“What have you done with the girl?! And the Sacred Jewel!?”
When the demon finally answered her, his voice was a gravelly sound. Almost as if he were growling and talking simultaneously.
“I don’t see how that’s any of your business Taijiya.”
Sango gave her own growl, the best her human vocals could allow, when the demon had spat her title out like that. Anger getting the best of her and meaning to show the damn inu youkai she meant business, the muscles in her arm clenched as she launched her hiraikotsu towards his arrogant face. The tiny kitten on her shoulder just barely jumped to the ground in time before she committed to her attack.
When Miroku finally ran up on the scene it was to the sight of his wife hurling her weapon towards the powerful demon in the clearing. He watched as the demon dodged his wife’s attack easily, only appearing to be annoyed at their presence. His violet eyes then widen as he felt just how powerful the demonic energy coming from that demon was. Feeling another energy present, masked by the demonic one, his eyes narrowed.
“Sango, he has the jewel!”
Miroku readied his staff when his statement caused those amber-red eyes to flick in his direction, prepared in case the demon attacked. While maintaining eye contact, he began to search the area with his spiritual senses. Unable to rid himself of the feeling that there was still something remaining unseen; he blocked out his wife’s shouts as he focused.
“I knew it! Now where’s the human girl!”
Quickly catching her weapon, Sango shouted her accusation as she immediately released her hiraikotsu once more with her aim more accurate this time. She didn’t want to allow the demon any time to retaliate. However, as he once again evaded her attack only this time to smirk condescendingly at her, Sango’s blood boiled.
“Was that aimed at me?”
His taunting words pissed her off and had her hand reaching underneath her armor grabbing for a trump card. Once her hand wrapped around the small ball she immediately threw it hard on the ground at the bastard’s feet. She smiled triumphantly when he instantly began coughing and choking.
Effortlessly tying her mask securely to her face, Sango hurled her hiraikotsu as a distraction. As the choking demon made an attempt to jump away from her stink bomb, he was met with her hiraikotsu and had no choice but to dodge her giant boomerang bone. Hoping to have him thoroughly distracted, she unsheathed her katana and charged.
---
Miroku watched tensely as his wife upped her ante, preparing to charge the dog demon. She was an excellent Taijiya and undeniably more qualified than him in physical combat, however he could never rid himself of the worry he felt while observing her in battle. That was after all his wife.
Small movement on the ground to his right caught his attention, and his eyes darted over to only be surprised. Kirara wasn’t with Sango? Brows scrunching together, Miroku watched the tiny kitten puzzled as she merely paced appearing to be in distress. He took note of how her red eyes seemed to be focused on something in the distance.
As he turned his head to find what held his companion’s attention so strongly, Miroku jerked as he heard a foreign female voice scream in panic.
“InuYasha!!”
His amethyst eyes widen as he caught sight of a young dark-haired woman dressed in what appeared to be a red oversized haori jacket. As if that wasn’t strange enough, she was standing in a tree clinging to a large branch. Her frantic eyes were focused in on the fight below her, and caused Miroku’s own gaze to follow.
---
InuYasha stood gripping the Taijiya’s blade in his left hand, blood slowly oozing down from his palm. A low growl left him as he snarled. So, the bitch had tricks, did she? Not only was he unable to see clearly from his eyes watering and incapable of getting a proper breath from that damn stink bomb she’d let off; but it appeared her blade was sharp enough to cut even his skin.
“Fucking Taijiya bitch…”
“InuYasha!!”
The sound of his mate’s worried voice yelling his name caused his ears to twist in her direction. Not about to take his attention off the slayer bitch, he relied on his sensitive hearing to check on his priestess’s well-being. Not able to appropriately assess her and feeling her distress through their bond, resulted in boiling his demon blood all the more.
Driven by his need to see his mate with his eyes, he let his anger come forward and stood to his full height. Fist clenching down harder on her blade; he took great satisfaction in the slayer’s startled expression when he slung her, sword and all, away from him and to the ground. By the look in her eyes when she landed, he knew she’d spotted his supposed-to-be-hidden mate.
Turning just slightly to where he could see his dark-haired beauty, or at least a blurry version of her, InuYasha let out an internal sigh of relief at finding she was alright. His feeling of relief was short lived, however; as he then got pissed that she had come out of hiding and potentially placed herself in danger.
“I fucking told you to stay hidden!”
The impressive growl the Taijiya let out after his statement, had InuYasha’s attention focusing back on her. He watched her carefully in case she tried any more of her tricks as she brought herself back up to stand angrily before him.
“How dare you try to keep her prisoner!”
Confused and still very pissed off, InuYasha raised a dark brow as he addressed the battle readied female. His voice sharp from anger.
“What?! I think you need to mind your own business, Taijiya. Especially in matters you don’t understand.”
Sango gripped the hilt of her sword so hard her knuckles turned white. Without much thought, her body immediately assumed a fighting stance with practiced ease. Resolve set, goal in sight, she yelled out to the damned youkai as she charged.
“I will save her from you!”
InuYasha flexed his claws…
---
Kagome had done her best to stay hidden as InuYasha had requested; but when the strange woman had charged him and struck him with her blade, fear took over and she couldn’t help calling out to him. Even knowing how strong he was and how fast he healed, she couldn’t control her worry over him. She had actually been relieved for a moment when he had turned to yell at her, confirming that he wasn’t too badly injured. The response from the demon slayer woman left her confused though.
When she had first appeared, Kagome had thought it had been for the jewel. Strangers showing up demanding for the jewel was nothing new, honestly in her short time here it had become a normal thing. Her interest had been piqued when the Taijiya had demanded to know where she was after first appearing; but Kagome had thought that perhaps the village had sent an assassin of some sort to find and kill the “dark priestess”.
Yet, the more she heard and saw from the slayer, the more she didn’t feel that was the case. When the man, whom she had guessed was a monk based off his attire, had confirmed that InuYasha did indeed have the jewel, the woman hadn’t demanded that he hand it over. Instead the Taijiya seemed more concerned over Kagome’s own well-being.
With the words the woman just spoke echoing in her ears, a lightbulb finally went off... That woman thought she was saving her from InuYasha! She had no sooner figured this out, that the woman then charged InuYasha again. Noticing his stance and the flex of his deadly claws, Kagome let out a gasp realizing he was done taking it easy on the Taijiya.
“No! InuYasha! Don’t hurt her!”
Seeing the twitch of one of his canine ears, and feeling his slight bewilderment through their bond, Kagome knew he had heard her. Watching as he began to dodge attacks instead of dealing his own, she was glad he respected what she wanted enough to listen. Although her brow tensed in worry as the slayer’s attacks became more and more aggressive.
Kagome wasn’t sure if her words would even reach the other woman, let alone if she would halt her actions to actually listen to them.
‘I need to get down there and put a stop to this.’
Mind made up, she started looking around for the best possible way to get down from the tree InuYasha had placed her in.
Luckily, he hadn’t placed her too high up on its branches. After judging the distance to the ground, Kagome decided she should be alright if she were to hang from the branch she was standing on and drop down. Determination took over as she carefully began to lower her body down to lay flat on the branch. Making sure to have a firm hold, she was about to start lowering herself to hang from the branch when the voice of the monk calling out to her stopped her.
“Miss! Don’t do that, you’ll get hurt! Hold on I’ll assist you!”
Kagome paused for a moment watching as the monk ran towards her. Her first thought had been to take him up on his nice offer. It would probably be easier to get down if she had some help. However, as a small gust of wind blew up her InuYasha-suikan-made-dress to graze her bare lady parts; her face exploded in mortification.
There was no way the monk wouldn’t see all she had to offer standing right underneath her.
In fear for her modesty, horror then filled Kagome as she realized how close the monk had gotten to her. Rushing to try to drop down before he reached her completely, she had barely lowered herself any when her panic filled eyes met with his frantic lavender. He was almost under her! Without a second thought, she released the branch and began her decent. Keeping her legs tightly closed together and holding InuYasha’s red suikan down, she squeezed her eyes shut and prayed for the best.
---
After having witnessed the small communication from the demon InuYasha and the mysterious young woman, Miroku was sure they were missing some key information. He knew immediately however, that his wife had taken the inu youkai’s words completely differently than he. To him, what InuYasha had shouted to the young lass was out of concern and instantly reminded him of Hiroshi’s perceptive on earlier events.
InuYasha looked like he was trying to protect that girl.
When the woman had called out telling the demon not to harm his wife, that had supported Miroku’s theories. When InuYasha had complied with her wishes? That confirmed it. They needed to put a stop to this senseless fight and speak civilly to one another.
Miroku was about to make his way into battle field to reason with his furious wife when movement coming from the dark-haired lass caught his eye. Glancing her direction, he was promptly concerned for her safety seeing what she clearly planned to do. Deciding to first aid her instead, least she fall and break something, he ran towards her calling out for her to wait for him to assist.
He was relieved when she paused what she was doing and glanced over at him; thinking she was going to take his advice and wait for him. However, the sudden panicked look that took over her features left him baffled. Observing as she doubled her efforts to get down before he got there, Miroku hurried his own efforts to reach her.
Just as he was almost under her, their eyes met and the crazy woman let go of the branch! Thinking fast, he dropped his staff and dived quickly to try to catch her and hopefully soften her fall. Miroku wasn’t sure how soft her landing turned out to be, however; when they both ended up in a jumbled mess of limbs.
Both him and the woman let out matching groans of pain. Slowly raising up on his knees, Miroku extended his hand out to the young maiden to help her up into a sitting position as well. As her smaller hand made contact with his, he pulled her up gently noticing how she was nursing the side of her head. He guessed at some point during their collision she must have hit it.
“Are you okay miss?”
Miroku was relieved and relaxed some when she smiled at him through gritted teeth. Answering him with a bit of sarcasm and playfulness in her voice.
“Yeah, never better.”
The relaxed moment shared between them was gone as quickly as it came, unfortunately; when they both heard the sounds coming from the battle growing even more heated. Both quickly turned their heads towards the fight and Miroku groaned again. His wife had evidently reclaimed her hiraikotsu and was now using a tag team sort of method with it and her sword.
Purple and blue-gray eyes both watched with baited breathes as InuYasha dodged the hiraikotsu only for Sango to immediately attack with her sword after. Miroku was impressed as the inu youkai punched his wife’s sword away by the flat of it. He couldn’t help but to think that those two would make great sparing partners. Though, the curses they threw at one another brought him back down to reality.
“Bastard!”
“Bitch!”
Before Miroku had a chance to develop a plan to stop the two warriors, the young lass next to him had jumped up preparing to take off into the thick of it. Fearing for her safety if she were to succeed in getting in between the two hot heads in combat, he instantaneously jumped forward after her.
Reaching out with his right hand to try to grab hold of her, all he got was a handful of red material. When the material gave and he saw her bare skin start to be revealed, Miroku tried to correct himself and reached out with his left hand to hopefully grab onto something more solid. His hand landed on the juncture of her shoulder and neck.
As soon as his hand made contact with the bare skin on her left shoulder, all hell broke loose. In a spilt second, the young girl had dropped to her knees crying out and clutching to the spot he had touched as if in pain. He had no time to ponder on what had happened though, as he just as abruptly found himself suspended in the air by his throat with five sharp claws prickling at the skin on his neck. An enraged face with dark purple jagged marks on its cheeks, and menacing scarlet-cobalt eyes glared hatefully up at him. As a viscously cold voice spoke, causing the deadly snarl directed at him to flash elongated fangs; chills shot down Miroku’s spine.
“Don’t you fucking touch her.”
