[Now that she's had a little time to cool off, Kagome is better able to appreciate the beauty of the park around them. It's like the more she sees of this place the more normal it gets, when it should be just the opposite. Sure, there's strange moon phases, but apart from their animalistic features the Prismals seem just like normal people.
Even the hill they finally settle down on reminds her of the countless hilltops she and her friends have sat on during periods of rest, taking in the views around them. Never ending valleys of green grass mixed with stretches of dirt road.
Okay. So the feudal past definitely has different scenery compared to this sprawling city, but both are beautiful and unique in their own way. The differences certainly don't seem to matter to the pang of wistful longing that surges through her at the thought of home.
She shakes her head suddenly, trying to clear away the melancholy thoughts. It's then that she realizes she's fallen silent for a long time, lost in her thoughts. Taking a peek over at Cloud, she wonders if she should say something to start a conversation. Even in their short time together she's starting to get the sense that he's a bit on the quiet side.]
So...Cloud. What do you think about this place? I was just thinking about how normal everything seems. When you...ah...ignore all the strange stuff. [There is a lot of strange stuff. But then again, her history books haven't exactly prepared her for all the weird demon stuff she would encounter when she fell into the past either. Her tolerance for strange is probably stronger than an average person's by now.]
[Kagome smiles and offers her a firm nod. It's cute how flustered Konoha gets, and that she seems to have forgotten that she can see her perfectly through the mirror. But Kagome isn't going to embarrass her by reminding her.]
Right. I'll see you there!
[A couple minutes later, after getting hastily dressed and finished combing her hair, Kagome stands at their meeting place. Not yet having the chroma for any new clothes, she's wearing her usual school uniform.]
[So caught up in her anger, the fact that she's managed to wiggle up far enough to be nearly shouting directly into his ear is another thing she didn't realize until he said something. She then lifts a hand up to his ear and begins rubbing the tip of it between her fingers, as if that could ease the soreness away.
Or she's just using it as an excuse to touch his ear. Anything is possible.]
Oops. Sorry about that.
[But is she really sorry? Because she's immediately back to throwing death glares at the men in the window over Inuyasha's shoulder. The state of her towel still hasn't made itself apparent to her yet. But before she can begin another angry rant at the men - What? Are they trying to take a picture? - Inuyasha is swinging them back and forth and then they're in the air.
Kagome makes the launch and quickly followed landing with as much grace as someone who has become used to being barreled through the sky and hung off cliffs can be. That is to say, her heart is racing by the end of it, but she never had any doubt that Inuyasha would be able to get them back inside her apartment.
She remains bundled in his arms for a moment, before slowly moving to sit up, ending up more or less in his lap.]
Yeah...I'm fine. Are you okay, Inuyasha?
[The towel, unfortunately, is not okay. The fold that has been holding on so strenuously finally loses its battle and slips completely undone.
[The woods and the park, why is she not surprised? While Inuyasha has proven that he can get along in a city during his trips to Tokyo, it's not without it's problems. His heightened senses, for one, can make city life hard to adjust to. But at least here, unlike in Tokyo, he doesn't have to hide certain parts of himself.]
Yeah...I should have figured that.
[Kagome looks at the device Kagura indicates. It looks a lot like the one she'd been given. But she hasn't had the chance to try her's out yet. Still, it's pretty strange to have Kagura explain to her how a phone works. Even more strange is the idea of Inuyasha using one.]
I guess if it's another way for him and Sesshomaru to argue I shouldn't be surprised that they'd learn to use it. Ah...thanks. I'll give it a try.
[And the more she hears about these moon blessings the less sure she is that they're blessings at all.]
[Training. It reminds her of a certain someone who could use a little more training in manners and listening to others.]
You're that good of a trainer, huh? You'll have to teach me some of your tricks.
She watches Matthias give Trassel a command, and even though she doesn't understand the words, she can tell that they both have a strong bond. It's in the way that the wolf responses immediately to his owner's words and the affectionate scratch Matthais gives him before turning to Kagome. It's cute and she can't help but smile at the both of them.
Throwing Trassel a little wave, they set off towards the tree. Kagome studies a couple of the branches before spotting one that is low hanging.]
What about this one?
[She's 5 foot nothing, okay. We go low or you'll be boosting her up the tree.]
[She can't help but giggle in delight when he goes pliant and continues feeling up his fluffy animal bits, completely at ease.
If she even notices the glare he's attempted, she doesn't seem bothered by it in the least. Finally, it's his question that causes her to pause in her petting.]
Oh? Do you want me to stop?
[Frankly, it hadn't occurred to her that he might be uncomfortable. But if he is, all he needs to do is say something.]
