What Kagome is in

Chapter 7 - What Kagome is in

She tried ignoring how silky Sesshoumaru's hair was against her hand, how it almost paled in comparison to what had to be a pelt made of velvet that hung from his right shoulder. Jerk, conditioner hadn't even been invented yet! Kagome pushed aside the frivolous thoughts of her own hair's grisly future in a world without such commodities when the dog demon growled in warning and impatience.

Only for an accursed ding to echo around them.

Kagome paled. This had to be a joke, a nightmare. It hadn't been five minutes since she had released Inuyasha! Now it felt as if an invisible anchor weighed down the beaded strand in between her hands, keeping it around the daiyoukai's head.

She pulled and struggled fruitlessly but the necklace did. Not. Budge. Sesshoumaru escaped her notice for a moment; she stayed fixated on the task of freeing the necklace from the demon. But, no matter what she tried, it stayed put.

"Girl." The word made her freeze.
