Just a girls' talk
Kagura was
bored to death. Lately, there wasn't really any action and she was
stuck with that horrible kid Hakudoshi in the damn hut. She looked over
her shoulder. The white-haired child was sitting still, as though
meditating – not much of a companion. Not that Kagura wanted to talk to
him anyway, he creeped her out. Sometimes she was under the impression,
that the kid was worse than Naraku himself.
"Kagura." The wind sorceress turned around at the sound of Hakudoshi's voice. "We have an order from Naraku."
"What order?" she asked, suddenly interested, eager to get out.
"I will distract Sesshomaru and you have to kidnap the human woman, that travels with him."
Kagura furrowed her brows, not liking the idea of acting against the dog demon.
"So
I just snatch the human away?" she made sure. If she remembered well,
the woman's name was Mai and she was quite a feisty one. Kagura hoped,
that this Mai won't cause her too much trouble.
The wind sorceress
stood up and plucked a white feather from her hair, that transformed
into a bigger one. She got on it and flew away.
Mai was
desperately trying not to think about what had happened last night. At
the mere thought she felt like burning alive from the excessive
blushing. The fact, that the demon saw her naked was nothing comparing
to the moment when their almost naked bodies touched. So embarrassing!
To make the things worse, the girl was kind of excited then and that
made her worry about her own sanity. Perhaps it was only a biological
reaction of her body on the closeness of a male, but still – it was
Sesshomaru! And the idiot was gawking at her like a dog at a bone. Mai
sighed. She didn't really blame him for that, he was a grown man after
all. It would be weird if he ignored a naked woman, she would suspect
him of being a gay or an impotent. Not that she was interested in his
sexual life, not at all.
She cast a quick glance at the dog demon,
who was leading their group. Since the embarrassing incident he was
avoiding her, once more pretending, that she didn't exist. This time Mai
was really grateful for that, because she had no idea how could she
possibly look him into eye now. Thinking of his eyes, the girl
remembered the awkward moment, when they were standing, looking into
each others' eyes and Sesshomaru leaned down, as if to…
"Jaken!"
Mai snapped back to the reality, as she heard Sesshomaru's voice. She
could instantly tell, that something was wrong. Quickly, she grabbed Rin
and put her on Ah-Un and climbed after the child. Jaken also hopped in
front of the both girls and took the reins, motioning the dragon to take
off.
Sesshomaru drew Tokijin and waited for his opponent. As
Ah-Un was flying away, Mai managed to see, that it was a white-haired
boy, only a child. However, she knew, that in the demon world looks
could be deceiving. She clutched the saddle, doing her best to control
her troublesome phobia.
The dragon was gliding right beneath the
clouds and Mai shut her eyes tightly, not to see the ground below. For a
couple of minutes she heard the howling of the wind and managed to calm
herself somehow. Happy to get rid of the panic, she smiled, but didn't
open her eyes.
Suddenly, she heard Jaken squeaking and the screams
of Rin. Mai's eyes snapped open, right in time to see Kagura, flying on
her feather right at them. The youkai woman circled Ah-Un and abruptly
lowered her flight. Mai felt a firm tug on her sleeve. Not having the
time to react, the girl slid of the saddle and started falling,
screaming. Then she landed on Kagura's feather, right beside the wind
sorceress.
"Got you." Kagura muttered. Mai looked at her sharply
and turned her head to see Ah-Un chasing after them. The youkai woman
also noticed that and swung with her fan at the dragon. The wind blades
flew at Ah-Un, who barely managed to avoid them, staying behind. Seeing,
that Rin and Jaken were in danger, Mai decided to act, even if it
seemed to be suicidal. She threw herself at Kagura, knocking her fan out
of the hand.
"What are you doing?!" the demon woman shrieked, pulling Mai's hair.
"Land, now." The girl hissed, yanking Kagura's hair as well.
"Stupid
bitch!" the wind sorceress spat and tried to reach her fan, that was
lying on the feather. Mai noticed it and kicked the fan off, so that it
fell somewhere on the distant ground. Seeing this, Kagura tried to punch
her, but the human girl dodged and hit the other woman square in the
face. The demoness hissed, mad at her opponent and clutching her nose,
and somehow managed to deliver a kick right in Mai's stomach. The girl
screamed from the pain and fell backwards. In the fervent of the fight
she forgot that they were in air and there was nothing solid behind her.
She felt herself lose footing and fall of the feather. In the last
moment her wrist was grabbed. Mai looked up. It was Kagura, who was
clutching her arm with her both hands, the teeth clenched, as she tried
to pull the human up.
"Hold on!" Kagura told her. "Naraku will kill me if you die now."
Mai
tried to reach with her other hand to hold to Kagura better, but then
it happened. She glanced down and saw the ground beneath them. It wasn't
really that high, but it horrified her anyway. She fought not to give
in to the uncontrollable panic, but failed.
"Kya!" she shrieked and started struggling. Kagura had a hard time trying to pull her up.
"Idiot! What are you…" The demoness was shouting at her. "Shit!"
Kagura
yelped, as she lost balance and the Mai's weight dragged her down along
with the human girl. Together they fell, both not stopping screaming,
until there was a loud splash as they landed in a large lake. Mai swam
to the surface, barely believing that she had the same luck twice. Next
to her Kagura was splashing the water fervently.
"Help me!" the youkai woman shrieked, waving her hands frantically. "I can't swim!"
Mai
cursed under her nose. The wind bitch was drowning right before her
eyes. If Mai does nothing, the problem will be at the bottom of the
lake, but she would probably have nightmares for the rest of her life.
"Stop
moving!" Mai called to Kagura and swam to her. She flipped on her back,
grabbed the youkai woman and swam to the boulder, that was nearby. When
she finally reached it, she managed to crawl on the top of it, coughing
water and Kagura did the same. Mai looked around. Around them was a
large lake – there was no way, that she would be able to swim to the
shore and not drown. The both women were sitting on a tiny island, very
tiny indeed as it had only about two square meters.
"Thanks." Naraku's minion muttered, standing up. "I got to get going."
She
reached to her hair to pluck another feather, but discovered that her
ponytail was undone and the feather was gone. Kagura moaned, feeling
depressed.
"Shit, now I'm stuck here with you."
Mai glared at her.
"The
same here." She muttered, not happy about the perspective on spending
her day with one of Naraku's minions, sitting on a rock. She narrowed
her eyes at the demoness, who eventually sat down. "What does Naraku
want from me anyway?"
"How should I know? He doesn't trust me." Kagura muttered, shrugging her shoulders.
"What
do you mean?" Mai asked. Considering that there was nothing else to do,
she could talk to Kagura a bit. The demoness looked at her, surprised.
"You
travel with Sesshomaru and you don't know?" she replied with a question
and sighed. "Well, I could tell you, I guess. Not that Sesshomaru
doesn't know that already anyway. Let's say, that I'm not very happy
about working for Naraku."
Mai straightened her back, suddenly interested. Was Kagura betraying Naraku? That's news.
"So why do you work for him?" the human girl asked. The demoness snorted.
"That
asshole has my heart. He can kill me when he pleases!" she exclaimed,
anger in her eyes. Mai looked at her, suddenly feeling the sympathy for
the youkai woman. The girl knew something about not being able to escape
the horrible boss. However, her situation was slightly better, now that
Sesshomaru gave up on strangling her and trying to break her arm, when
she was disobeying the arrogant jerk.
"You're screwed." Mai commented. "I guess that you have to wait till Inuyasha and Sesshomaru kill your boss."
Kagura sighed, nodding her head.
"Speaking
of Sesshomaru, I hope he'll get here soon and will get us the hell out
of here." The demoness said, examining her soaked kimono.
"Can't you do something?" Mai asked. Kagura glared at her.
"Maybe
I could, but I lost my feathers and my fan. Maybe if only somebody
didn't struggle like an idiot when I was trying to pull her up, we
wouldn't be in this situation in the first place!"
Mai clenched her fists, mad at the weather whore.
"Oh, I'm so sorry for having the fear of heights. Maybe I should have leave somebody, who can't swim, to drown?"
The
both women were glaring at each other in the fierce stare contest.
After a while they sighed, coming to the conclusion, that it's pointless
to argue with somebody, who you're stuck with on a rock.
"Let's change topic." Mai said and Kagura nodded in agreement.
"Fine by me. Hmm… I was always wondering about one thing. You must know something about it."
"About
what?" Mai asked, wondering what was the thing the demoness was so
interested in. Especially after seeing the mischievous glint in Kagura's
eye.
"Is Sesshomaru big down there?" the demoness asked.
"What?" Mai stared at her. Kagura came closer and looked the human girl down in the eye.
"You know… how big is his manhood? Come on, tell me." The demoness was urging Mai.
The
girl's face was getting hotter and becoming bright red, as she finally
grasped what Kagura was talking about. Sesshomaru's… Considering, that
he was a man he must have something between his legs, but the girl never
thought about the sexual life of her boss – granted that he even had
any. The mentioning of his manly part made her feel fierce embarrassment
welling in her.
"How would I know." Mai mumbled. Kagura folded her arms and eyed her suspiciously.
"Ugh!
It wouldn't hurt to tell me. I mean, you must have seen the thing
hundreds of times already… I'm so jealous." she said. Mai almost felt
steam gushing from her ears.
"What?!" she shrieked, mortified by the idea. "You're wrong!"
Kagura narrowed her eyes.
"You
two are lovers, right?" she asked with a confused look on her face. Mai
was opening and closing her mouth, unable to utter a word. Kagura
tilted her head. "You really haven't slept with Sesshomaru yet?"
"And never will! Not ever!" Mai managed to scream at last. The wind sorceress laughed at the outburst.
"What
a waste. Sesshomaru is such a handsome man. I really thought, that you
two are together. Why else would he defend you like he does?" Kagura
asked, examining her nails with a sly smirk.
"He's my boss. That's
it – I work for him and nothing more." Mai stated, glaring daggers at
the demoness. Luckily she managed to control her blush. Kagura arched
her eyebrow.
"Don't tell me, that you never wondered, how he would
be in bed?" the demon woman asked, grinning widely as she saw Mai
blushing fiercely again.
"I didn't!" she hissed, speaking the
truth. She admitted, that he was attractive, but he was an asshole too.
Who would think of… Mai cursed as her heart began beating faster as she
remembered what happened the last night.
"I hardly believe that." Kagura sorted. "I would seize the opportunity, if I were you. Speaking of devil… Here he is!"
The
wind sorceress pointed her finger at the sky and Mai saw Sesshomaru
flying towards them, the rest of the group following him.
"Shit."
Mai cursed. The dog demon chose the worst possible moment to come to
rescue her – her face was still flushed from Kagura's idiotic and
perverted questions. The dog demon stopped in midair above the women and
scanned Mai up and down, not paying any attention to the wind
sorceress.
Mai yelped and instinctively wrapped her hands around
Kagura, as suddenly the white fur twisted around her waist and she was
pulled in the air.
"Sesshomaru, get me to the shore!" Kagura
called, gripping Mai tightly. The demon didn't answer, but he flew
towards the shore and landed there. The demoness muttered "thanks" and
let go of Mai.
The human girl yelped as her back was slammed
against Sesshomaru's armor. She had an idea what was coming and she
didn't like it.
Kagura found her feather and got on it.
"Remember, what we were talking about!" she called to Mai, flying away.
