...But now she was here... — Description
Her back was to him, her hair was wild, and she was clearly exhausted, but she was here. Very definitely here, and just as amusing as ever; he found himself rather regretful that he had not been there to witness how she managed to get past the gates and into the courtyard in the first place, but he was sure he would be regaled with the story several times before the end of the day. For now he watched, strangely pleased, as she aimed her brilliant arrow left and right, trying to keep his guards at bay, and even though her back was hunched beneath both her bag and her fatigue, she was still brimming with her righteous anger.

"I don't care what your stupid orders are," she was saying, "I need to see Sesshoumaru or Myouga, and I need to see them now!"

The guards didn't seem to know what to do, and during their hesitation she appeared to lose her patience. He wished he could see her face.

"Now!" she yelled. Everyone saw her hands tremble on the bow, and a few of the less courageous guards hit the ground and cowered beneath the force of her obvious power and her seemingly impending loss of control.
