Stringing Along by Tokahlia

Ochitsuke

AN Fast update is fast. Why? Because after going through a little muse withdrawl said controller of my writing abilities randomly decided that yeah, I should write five chapters in one night, staying up to 2 am to do so. Now that I have some buffer chapters I feel a whole lot more comfy posting these babies up. Enjoy ;)

Chapter 5 - Ochitsuke

Peripheral vision revealed the blood stain slowly spreading as claws leading to a striped appendage stabbed deeper through her clothes. Kagome's gaze, however, remained focused on Sesshoumaru's. The dog demon was not a happy camper. Kagome struggled schlepping her right hand up without touching his chest before she placed her own petite appendage on top of his, a warning clear in her eyes.

"Just… calm down," she suggested, the command coming out a little forcefully. A ding echoed and before she or the mighty daiyoukai had a chance to speak the violet and ivory beads glimmered, sending Sesshoumaru down to brace himself with one knee.

If the luxury had been available Kagome would've been impressed by this show of strength. Every time she had given the command to Inuyasha he'd face-planted without a fault; though he was struggling Sesshoumaru did not collapse. However, she couldn't indulge in feeling awed, her stomach was sinking in despair and her blood was roaring. Swarms of swirls and stars told her that she was close to fainting. Kagome couldn't swoon however, as close to a very angry demon as she was. Eyes flashing red and claws and fangs elongating kind of killed that idea.
