A/N: it's been awhile since I posted an actual fic so this first
chapter might be a little short. I hope you like it though. Please let
me know what you think, or I won't know what to improve or if you like
it or not, or even if I should continue it. Anyways, on with the story
I'm sure you're tired of my ramblings. ^_^
Puck Runs Amuck
It's a fine summer day, birds are singing; bees are buzzing; the sun is shining. Everything looks normal, but then that is never the case in the feudal era, and so begins our tale.
Out floating on a cloud an elf like creature roams the countryside seeking a little entertainment. For him nothing was more exciting than causing some chaos in the lives of some mortal. It had been ages since he'd had some serious fun. Today he was determined that would change.
"Hmm, now there's something interesting what do we have here? A human with a dog demon, and a half breed no less. How peculiar, and what bizarre clothing she's wearing. Well, they were never known to have much fashion sense, but what is a human girl doing with a demon tromping around the countryside. She doesn't appear to be his slave and he doesn't seem to be anything other than some mangy dog with a silly pink coat. Hmm, it appears I've found some new toys. He he, this will be fun." A mischievous smile spreads across his angular features. And a glint can be seen in the almond shaped eyes of the strange being. Clouds begin to gather as the newcomer descends upon our unsuspecting travelers.
(Down below traveling a dusty road)
"Inu Yasha can we please take a break, my feet are killing me, and we've been walking for hours," they had been traveling since early that morning nonstop because Inu Yasha insisted they reach the next town by nightfall. "Feh, weakling," came the muttered reply.
Suddenly a familiar and very unwelcome scent caught his attention. He stopped so suddenly Kagome almost crashed into him. She was about to ask him what was wrong, but the look he gave was enough to silence her. Before either knew what was going on Kagome was grabbed from behind, "mmph," was the last sound she made before being dragged into the forest beside them.
"Kagome!!" Inu Yasha had missed her by scant inches. He tore through the brush only to find that she was gone without even a trail to follow, and mysteriously not even her scent was present. "What in the 7 hells! Where the fuck did she go!
A faint snicker could be heard echoing through the forest, "What ever is the matter dear brother? Did you lose something or rather did you lose someone?"
Inu Yasha was not in the mood for his brothers games, "Sesshomaru if you so much as touch her I'll make sure you lose more than your other arm!" Not far away stood a smirking Sesshomaru, " now now brother, such hollow threats will get you nowhere I'm sure even you know that." Inu Yasha was shaking visibly in silent fury, " what the HELL do you want!!"
"Don't play the fool my brother. You know what I've come for, father's fang, hand it over, and maybe I'll let your wench live, for now anyways unless I happen to get bored. Then I might decide to amuse myself a bit, how about a game of how long I can make a human scream. What do you think? Although I could be swayed from that notion if you hand over the Tetsusaiga like a good little half breed."
A furious dog demon stared at the smirking form before him with a look of such fire it could very well bore holes into a lesser being, "you BASTARD," growled Inu Yasha.
Sesshomaru turned an icy glare upon the seething half-breed standing a few feet away from him. He was thinking of just killing him and getting it over with, but what would be the fun in that. Besides his wench would miss the show, and he did love a good performance. He reached out a clawed hand knowing he had finally won. He would so enjoy killing this fool and as for the human, he had plans for her, involving long days and nights of tortured screams.
Kagome watched the scene unfolding before her. Sesshomaru had wanted her to see Inu Yasha humiliated then slowly killed with her watching and not able to do a thing. She wouldn't have it; she was not the weakling he thought her to be. She would not sit idly by and do nothing. Kagome had been bound and gagged, but unfortunately for Jaken, not tight enough. Pretty soon she was free, but Jaken was to into the action-taking place to notice. With a silent tap on the shoulder a surprised Jaken was smashed in the head with a rock, he would be grumpy for the next few days (^_^). She had noticed the amulet Jaken had been wearing; she knew it somehow hid the both of them from Inu Yasha. She just prayed it would work for her as well. Sneaking as close as she dared praying to any god listening she yelled, "Inu Yasha, watch out it's a trap!"
Inu Yasha eyed the area wildly wondering why he couldn't smell her, completely forgetting the threat before him. He was just about to hand the Tetsusaiga over when he heard Kagome's cries.
Sesshomaru cursed his luck. He would punish Jaken later, but first he would kill his brother. Then he planned to come up with new methods of torture for the human pest, which constantly thwarted his plans, "NEVER ignore your opponent!!" Deathly cold eyes glared down at the fool before him while thrusting a clawed hand through a wide-eyed Inu Yasha's gut.
Golden eyes stared in sick fascination at the arm now twisting and churning his insides. Everything seemed to go numb right then his body was starting to shut down, eyes suddenly beginning to glaze over. He was aware of someone yelling his name, but he for some reason couldn't muster the strength to really care. He found the sucking and squishing noises his body was making much more interesting. His grip on the Tetsusaiga would not waver however; it was his lifeline the only thing keeping him conscious at the moment, although he was having a hard time remembering why he wanted to stay awake at all.
Kagome watched from afar, it was like watching something happen in slow motion. She knew she was running towards them but for some reason she felt like she was moving through jelly, her legs felt like lead weights, "NNNOOOO!!" I'm not going to make it, not fast enough. Please no, not like this." Tears were streaming down her face her breaths coming in ragged gasps. "NOO, kami help me!!"
(High in the sky perched on a cloud)
Watching the drama unravel before him an idea began to form, 'Hmm, now there's a thought. Oh yes, this will be lots of fun indeed.' In a blink of an eye he appeared on the battlefield, and with a snap of his fingers he "paused the game" so to speak, and began taking in the scene before him. A look of anger darkened his child like features, but was soon covered up by a cheerful grin.
"Can't have that now can we, demons and their petty quests for more power. Always ruining my fun. I wont allow that I've only just begun to play."
A glow began to emanate from the peculiar being, and soon the 2 demons were hovering above ground, injuries completely healed. "That's better, now lets see if I can find a form you are less likely to cause so much damage in, can't have you breaking my new toys after I just fixed them now can I," the being commented while eyeing Sesshomaru with a look of child like glee.
A light flashed illuminating the entire area. Both demons blinked in confusion as they tried figuring out why they were hovering above the ground. Inu Yasha glanced Sesshomaru's way and began to laugh so hard his eyes teared up. "WHAT the HELL is so FUNNY!!" Came the high-pitched cry. Still unable to control his laughter all Inu Yasha could manage to do was point. "What the HELL have you done to ME!! I will kill you. Do you hear!!" Shrieked Sesshomaru's now chibi form.
"Ahem," both demons hadn't even noticed the being
before them. Inu Yasha was the first to reply, "Who the hell are you?!"
End of chapter one ^_^
A/N: at the request of a faithful fan I have done some
much needed corrections. I hope this is a lot better than before. My writing
isn't topnotch, but I do aim to please.
