“Woah!”
“Amazing!”
“She's so fast!”
The blue-eyed girl scoffed at her classmates. It wasn't much of an accomplishment. At least, not in her perspective. If they had just put more effort in their concentration, they could be able to run just as fast as she could. Or, so she thought. It had never occurred to the young woman before that perhaps her stamina came from someplace else. Some place hidden deep inside of her, which no one of this time would be able to sense or recognize.
“Sayuri! Sayuri!” A happy voice bellowed out, long legs carrying them to the short-haired girl.
Sayuri's sapphire eyes traveled slowly to meet the gaze of light caramel, “What?” she asked softly but her held a hard gaze.
“The teacher asked that you deliver these books to Kagome after school. She's missed two days...” Concern laced the girl's voice as she held the strapped books out for Sayuri to take.
Sayuri grabbed the books from the girl's hands, “Alright, whatever.” She mumbled, tucking the books under her arm as she walked away to change out of her gym clothes.
This is so troublesome. Why do I have to deliver these stupid books to her, anyway? I barely even know her. Her friends should have been the ones to deliver this... An irritated sigh passed through Sayuri's nose as she looked down at the books Kagome would have homework in. For two fays, this sure is a lot of homework. I do not envy her. Sayuri surpassed a light chuckle.
Finally making it to Kagome's address, Sayuri stopped to take a look at the house. Looking off to the side, there seemed to be some kind of shrine built next to an old tree. Taking another step, Sayuri seen Kagome run outside to the shrine doors. To this, Sayuri raised a questioning brow, but decided to watch her to see what she was doing.
Kagome entered the shrine and seemed to be acting strange, almost as if she could see something that Sayuri couldn't. Blinking confusedly, Sayuri was about to take another step when she seen a man with an odd hair color burst out from the house.
W-where those dog ears?! Sayuri stared in disbelief as she watched the man with silver hair run into the shrine after Kagome. What the hell is going on here?! The books dropped to the ground as Sayuri dashed off to the doors of the shrine.
“Kagome? Kagome!” Sayuri shouted for attention.
Hearing a voice she wasn't quite used to hearing, Kagome turned with eyes wide; fear evident within them.
“What do you-- don't come in!” Kagome shouted to her family and quickly shut the doors, holding them so her grandpa would be unable to slide them open.
“Kagome, what the hell is going on?” Sayuri asked, wondering why she was acting so weird.
“H-hair!” Kagome shouted. It's coming out of the well!
Sayuri looked around, not seeing anything. “What are you-” Sayuri was about to ask what Kagome was talking about, but her attention moved to the odd man when he began jumping, looking as if something invisible were after him.
A bit frightened by this, Sayuri backed herself up against the wall, watching with wide eyes.
“There, Inuyasha!” Kagome shouted, pointing at something unseen.
“I can't see anything!” Inuyasha shouted in irritation, slicing in every direction with his free hand; one had been bounded by this invisible force.
Kagome froze for a moment before she snatched seemingly at nothing. Her blood ran down the thin wire that hadn't been there before and Inuyasha sliced at. His arm was released.
Sayuri was so confused; she almost thought she had dreamt this whole ordeal. Relaxing herself, her back was no longer pressed firmly against the wall.
Inuyasha got right in Sayuri's face, “What the hell are you doing here?”” He asked, eyes portraying anger.
“Me? What the fuck are you talking about? What are you, even?!” Sayuri burst but her eyes pointed at what she was talking about; the small white ears atop his head. Real dog ears.
“We don't have time to fight! We have to go back!” Kagome shouted, her voice wavering slightly.
Inuyasha turned from Sayuri to smirk slightly at Kagome, “I thought you didn't want to go back?” He taunted.
Kagome was now at the edge of the well in the center of the shrine, “I don't want to but we have to.” Kagome admitted. I have to keep mom, grandpa, and Sota safe...
“Hmph.” Inuyasha looked away from her and marched to the well. “Well, let's go.” He said, totally forgetting about Sayuri.
“Hey! Wait a minute. Don't tell me you two are actually going to jump down there?” Sayuri said with disbelief and a hint of disgust as her nose crunched up.
Kagome blinked. In the excitement, she had forgotten that Sayuri was there. “It's... kind of hard to explain.” She said, looking down the well.
“We don't have time to explain!” Inuyasha shouted impatiently.
Kagome felt a tingle of indecision wave over her before she grabbed Sayuri's hand right before they were pushed down the well by Inuyasha.
----------------------
“What the fuck just happened?!” Sayuri shouted, more so of confusion than anger.
Kagome lightly bit the inside of her lip as her cheeks turned red from embarrassment. Inuyasha scoffed, holding his injured arm before scooping his top back from Kagome's hands.
“We just defeated a hair demon.” He said, shoving his arms through the massive sleeves.
“A what? A hair demon? What the hell?” Sayuri rambled on, trying to piece together what was left of her sanity while trying to figure out what was going on. The only explanation she could come up with was that she HAD to be dreaming.
“There is no such thing as demons.” Sayuri said, glaring harshly at Inuyasha.
“Oh really? Then what do you think you're looking at?” Inuyasha glared, his lips curling back to show off his fangs.
“Well,--”
“But Inuyasha, you're not a full-fledged demon...” Kagome interrupted Sayuri, lightly scratching her cheek.
“Hmph.” Inuyasha turned away from the two women with his nose in the air. “It doesn't matter. You're here now, woman. You will just have to deal with it and help us find the shards.” Inuyasha muttered and began to walk back to the village.
I hate them both.
