Her battle cry rang through the forest as her weapon cut through the air seeking the foul smelling demons head. The slow moving beast didn’t have a prayer in hell. The head of the demon came off under the power of her swing and sprayed the lot of us with dark yellow goo and blood.

Like the warrior she is she didn’t flinch as we were covered. She didn’t even flinch when she pulled her weapon out of the sludge like remains.

She also retrieved two of Kagome’s arrows but when she handed them to the girl, Kagome shook her head no and refused to touch them. She sighed and tucked them in her obi. She glanced back at us and said, “I am headed to the river.”

We all followed her. The first thing I did was stick Tetsuagia in the river and when I looked to my left, she had her massive boomerang submerged as well.

Miroku was washing the outer layers of his robe and Kagome was a bit further down completely submerged and mumbling about smelly demons.

“You know a true warrior always takes care of their weapon first,” I said.

“Hai,” she replied, “because it takes care of the one who wields it.”

I couldn’t help but smile at her. Her ethics as a fighter is second to no one, I could think of except maybe my ass of a brother, but hell he’s had centuries to learn the crap he knows. She surprises me when she takes the arrows out and washes them as well. She lays them on top of her boomerang and steps into the chilly water to get the bulk of the goo off and I do the same.

“We’ll need a hot spring to really get clean,” said Miroku.

“True, but this will do until that luxury affords itself,” she replied.

He nodded and I stood there further impressed by her resolve. We were tired, sticky and hungry and not one complaint does she make. She walks away with him and I am left alone for a moment, to think.

I wonder if the Houshi truly knows what he has in her. If he doesn’t, he might not keep her for long.

I know a gem when I see one.
