            Kagome needed to bathe, immediately.

            She was covered in youkai guts and entrails, she hadn’t washed in days, and she had just been rescued from a group of idiots who had wanted to sacrifice her to complete some sort of stupid ritual.

            Kagome shivered as she flicked a piece of goo off her arm.

            She really needed to bathe.

            Kagome looked around.

            There were police cars everywhere and a few ambulances. Quite a few officers were running around, and she knew that they probably would want to question her, but she desperately needed to take a bath. She could go home. Her story wouldn’t change just because they had to wait for her to bathe in order to get her statement. Kagome looked around again, before she began walking away from the scene, tiptoeing carefully.

            “Miss?”

            Kagome froze and cursed her luck.

            All she wanted to do was clean up!

            She turned on her heel to face two detectives. One was a human, a monk, with violet eyes, and the other was a youkai with silver hair and a crescent moon on his forehead.

            Kagome pasted on a smile. “Yes?”

            The human spoke. “We’d like to ask you few questions. My partner here, Sesshomaru, is the one who found you, but he only got here after you had purified two youkai. Can you explain what happened before then?”

            Kagome looked between the human and the youkai. She could probably fight them off if she tried hard enough.

            “Excuse me, Miss?”

…

I’m looking forward to that fight.
