            Kagome.

            Alone.

            Night.

            Forest.

            Those were four words no one ever wanted to hear in the same sentence. Unfortunately for the people who dreaded hearing those words together, Kagome was completely oblivious to the heart attacks she caused by taking walks alone, at night, in the forest.

            The people who acted as Kagome’s sense of self-preservation (since she obviously didn’t have one) might have been all right with her wandering around the woods by herself if she had her bow.

            Unfortunately for them, she never had her bow.

            Kagome was walking alone, at night, in the forest– without her bow– when the expected happened.

            Not only did it start raining, not only did a youkai come to kidnap her, not only was she nowhere near camp, but she also tripped and fell onto the muddy forest floor.

            Joy.

            Kagome hoisted herself up on her elbows, prepared to look straight into the red eyes of her future killer, only to look straight into the golden eyes of her savior…

            Or her future killer.

            Kagome gulped and smiled weakly as Sesshomaru glared down at her.

            “If I hadn’t fallen, I totally would have had him.”

            Sesshomaru continued to glare at her.

            Kagome stood. “Thanks for that by the way,” she mumbled, jerking her hand in the direction of the decapitated oni.

            Sesshomaru continued to glare.

            “Sesshomaru?”

            “You are not supposed to wander from camp, miko,” he rumbled deeply.

            Kagome chuckled nervously. “Sorry?”

            “You must be punished.”

            “What?! I said sorry!”

            “Silence.”

…

Sesshomaru’s not going to kill you, Kagome!

He’s just going to punish you!

(…)

Yeah…

Let’s go with that.
