Angel turned to Sesshomaru, her mouth already opening to protest his words but a quiet clearing of a throat captured her attention. She closed her eyes and snapped her one eyed gaze towards the source of the noise and glowered at the dragon youkai standing next to her. "My lady, please heed his words. It would be most wise for you to take the time and rest, especially if you are finally successful in garnering a fight with Atsuki. Would you not hate to face him in a tired state and risk losing the fight?" Angel released a quiet growl, her black wolf tail swishing angrily as she glared at her manservant. "Are you truly implying that I would lose against that scum?" Chaos's lips tugged upward in a coy smile, a chuckle escaping his lips. "But of course, not, my lady. I have full faith that you would win against him. However, I would just prefer that you be well rested in case he pulls any underhanded tricks. You would not be able to react accordingly to them if you are too tired. So please, consider his offer and spend the night here and gather your strength."<br/><br/>Angel was quiet for a moment before releasing a sigh before shaking her head. "Fine. I'm too tired to argue with you. Will you be staying close by?" She asked, knowing that they were alone now that Sesshomaru had given them privacy. Chaos smiled and nodded his head. "Of course. I will be nearby if you have need of me, my lady. Now do please, do get some rest. Those bags under your eyes are most unbecoming of a fine lady such as yourself." Angel growled at him, looking ready to throttle him but then thought better of it. She huffed and tossed him the crumpled up scroll before turning to make her way back to the hut where Sesshomaru and his charge awaited her. When she arrived back inside, she glanced towards Sesshomaru, her gaze softening slightly. "...I really do appreciate your help."<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Naraku gazed down at her through hooded, ruby red eyes, an unreadable expression on his pale face. This woman had some nerve to speak to him like that. Of course, she didn't know who he was so it couldn't be helped. Still, he couldn't help but be intrigued and a bit aroused at her boldness in interacting with him. She was not a woman easily cowed by acts of intimidation, it would seem. "Then allow me to thank you for your kindness," He said, gaze flickering down towards her lips. It was the only warning before he leaned forward and slanted his mouth over hers, effectively stealing a kiss. He wanted to see if she would kiss him back. He knew that she was interested in him. He had seen her reaction when he had undressed in front of her. But would she push him away? That remained to be seen.
