Little Huntress

She moved through the woods as silently as she could, flinching at every rustle of leaves and every soft snap of a twig that broke the silence of the forest. Despite giving her best effort Kagome’s attempt was clumsy at best. Her grip on her bow tightened as she felt a flare of stubborn determination sizzle to life in her chest. It may be foolish, and pointless, and utterly hopeless, but she would not give up.

Setting her jaw firmly she continued on following a trail she couldn’t so much see as sense deep in her gut. Her prey had left no mark behind to show a soul had passed but she knew with every ounce of her being that she was not mistaken. She froze, every muscle in her body going tense. There on the wind, she could have sworn she had heard it. The barest rustle of silk or the softest tickle of breath, she wasn’t sure which but she had heard something.

Turning slowly she notched an arrow to her bow drawing the string slightly taunt as she scanned the dark undergrowth around her. The almost lost sound of a boot stirring dirt scrapped across her senses and she turned quickly pulling the bow string to her ear. “There” she though “there you are!” A flash of white and the arrow was plucked deftly from her fingers. Kagome could only watch with rising trepidation, her eyes locked on the fragile projectile caught in the clawed grip of a stripped hand. A soft green glow enveloped the shaft before it crumbled to dust carried off on the wind as if scurrying away from the deep chuckle that followed.

“Aren’t we the little huntress?” His tone was level and warm lacking the cold mocking tone she had expected. “Now that you have found me, what will you do with me?”
