Ch10.2
The aforementioned human was pacing around the hollow ranting, “What would he have wanted me to do? Its not like I had anyone who I could’ve gone through by proxy. Oooooh ,damn dogs and their damn over protective instincts. What is it about me that makes them go freaking crazy? I’m just a simple girl who trying to fix what she broke and not get herself killed in the process. Damn those dogs and damn sexyness.” She plopped down beside Kaori.
The white kitsune blinked, quite surprised by the tantrum from the usually otherwise bubbly female. She glanced at her twin, and when said kitsune shrugged Kaori pulled on Kagome’s cheek with a lewd expression, “You said sexy, didn’t you? And what do you mean go crazy? I think you’re crazy... but that’s just me.”
Shizuka palmed her face, shaking her head while Kaori grinned cheekily while the human girl whined and rubbed her abused cheek, “Well that wasn’t very nice.”
“Things I do rarely are!” Kaori slapped Kagome’s shoulder a tad too rough and sent the girl lurching forward, “Isn’t that right, Shizuka?” When the black kitsune ignored her in favor of muttering to herself, the white kitsune snarled and held up her fist, “I SAID ISN’T THAT RIGHT SHIZUKA!?”
“Hai, Hai, stop screaming.” Shizuka pouted, sticking her index finger in her ear. Kaori smiled pleasantly, “Thank you!”
Kaori sat back down beside Kagome, her blue silk haori had beautiful sun depictions along the collars and sleeves, matching the hakamas that had them embroidered along the waist and hem. Kagome had dropped her head onto her arms and her shoulders were shaking. She looked up, tears running down her, face. “I just want to be able to be helpful and not a burden, you know?” She shook her head and looked and Shizuka, “Can I borrow one of your swords?”
When Kaori smirked and opened her mouth, Shizuka slapped a hand onto her twins mouth, used it as leverage and sent the kitsune out of the tree all together with a heaving push, “Now Listen to me right now! If you want to be strong that’s fine! I will teach you! Trust me when I say I KNOW how you feel. Take my sisters words with a grain of salt, she means well but she’s a vicious little bitch and she doesn’t know when to stop gnawing!” Shizuka smiled and set her hand on the top of Kagome’s head, “Trust in us. We’re ‘Pack’ now, so that means we are incapable of allowing you to be hurt or weak. We’ll make you strong, as strong as you want to be, you understand?”
“I’m not going to do anything stupid. I just want to borrow your sword, okay? And yes I understand, but understand this, if I’m going to be me, a stronger me, I need to cut my weakness away, ne?”
Kaori was suddenly back in the tree, pulling herself in using the brute strength of her arms, seething and stomping her foot, “Teme!!! I’ll kill you!”
Shizuka was unphased, waving a hand over her shoulder while looking at Kagome seriously, “I see. Well then as you ‘sensei’ I will join you. We will do this together.” Pulling a dirk from her boot, Shizuka offered it to Kagome first.
Kagome took the little knife and, gathering all her hair together, ran the sharp blade through it, slicing the blue black locks off. She watched them float to the ground around her and offered up a teary smile to Shizuka. The Black kitsune winked and sat back on her heels to give the human girl room.
Suddenly Kaori had her twin in a headlock, making the other female sputter and choke, “How dare you ignore me like that, you little shit!”
“E-ee? B-but you were born.... after me.... Kao-chan.” Shizuka was caught between breathing and laughing her ass off.
