Kagome wonders if youkai know the privilege they have, being able to jump and run so very quickly. Powerful legs propel them up, up, bounding lightly into the sky so that the wind whistles in the ears and pinkens the cheeks.
Kagome thinks she is very lucky, being on good enough terms with several youkai and thus able to snatch moments like this, moments of pure joy, borrowed seconds when she can fly like any bird, untethered, weightless.
Kagome knows she should feel indignant, now that Kouga has snatched her up and leapt away, now that Inuyasha is chasing them, screaming all the way. But then the wind pushes its fingers into her hair, and she can't quite bring herself to be anything but grateful that the wolf-demon has given her the chance to fly once more.
Kagome turns her face forward, and when Kouga springs off the end of a cliff into a freefall, she smiles.
