Hulk and His Priestess

Chapter 2 Identity Revealed

Kagome walks home after taking Hulk the food. The name he gave is very familar to her, she's heard it before but she can't remember where. Going into the house she sees a duffle bag on the floor and a pair of men's shoes in the corner. Smiling Kagome realizes that Souta has just arrived from college. Going upstairs to see her little brother, she pokes her head in his room to see if he's there. She gasps when she sees a poster on the wall.

It's a poster of the Avengers, Iron Man, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Captain America. But what really caught her eye was the last member of the Avengers, the green giant standing in the background. Her eyes widen at the sight, it's the same creature she found in the forest, Hulk.

Kagome was staring so intently at the poster, she didn't hear Souta coming down the hall.

"Hiya Sis." Souta says as he comes back to his room.

Kagome jumps, startled at the sound of his voice. Souta laughs and goes to his bed.

"Souta, who is that?"

"Oh, come on, Kagome, you've been back long enough from the Feudal Era to know about the Avengers, Earth's Mightiest Heroes." Souta says as he lies down on his bed.

Kagome rolls her eyes, "I know about the Avengers, Dork, I meant him, the green guy, what do you know about him?"

"Oh him, that Hulk, or more precisely Dr. Bruce Banner. A world renowned scientist who was highly respected for all his work in the fields of Biochemistry, Nuclear Physics, and Gamma Radiation. He was working on trying to recreate Captain America's super soldier serum when he was blasted with high level of Gamma Radiation, causing him to turn into the Hulk. From what I understand he only turns when he's really angry."

"Maybe not." Kagome mumbles.

"What do you mean?" Souta asks.

Kagome sighs, "Souta, what would you say if I told you I think the Hulk is living in the Forest of Inuyasha right now?"

Souta bolts up right, "What?! How do you know that?"

"Because I ran into someone that looks a lot like him the other day when I went for a walk and I today I took him some food. So unless there are two beings like that in the world, the Hulk is residing in our forest."

"Cool, let me guess, you're going to help him."

"As best as I can, yes."

Souta gets up and goes to his closet, he pulls out a pair of pants, shirt, shoes and socks. He packs them all in a spare duffle bag and hands it to Kagome.

"Here, I think we're about the same size, take these to Dr. Banner when he shrinks back down."

"Thanks, Souta."

"You're welcome, Sis."

The next day, Kagome heads out into the forest again. She takes with her the duffle bag and more sandwiches and water for Hulk. Taking the same trail she took the last time, Kagome isn't surprised to find Hulk sitting under a tree. As if he's waiting for her, he looks up and grins at Kagome.

"Pretty Pink Girl." Hulk says.

Kagome looks at him and raises an eyebrow, "Pretty Pink Girl?" She repeats.

Hulk grin turns into a smile and he snorts in affirmation.

Kagome smiles at him, "Okay I can live with that, but really my name is Kagome."

Hulk gives her a puzzled look, "Gome?"

"Yeah, Kagome, but you can call me Gome if you want."

"NO, Pretty Pink Girl." Hulk insists.
