Inu cast: Yippee…
Silv: Right now I'm juggling three of these things, and anyone can tell you, I'm not good at juggling. My cousin is a witness. Poor guy…
InuYasha: Why do we have to be here with you whenever you gotta update these captor things.
Kagome: Chapter…Chapter!
Silv: Now, now. I had to start writing this one and send it out because I got it in my head and it won't leave me alone. Err…get out of my brain!!! Oh, well. Not like I was gonna work…Anyways, I can't write it out on paper because my penmanship sucks the big one. I can't even read my own handwriting!!! Please give me feedback for this one, cuz I never get enough for my others. I love them too much! To be blunt I am review vain. Snort snort!! Hee hee!
InuYasha: Snort snort, hee hee? Good god save us…
Disclaimer: If I owned InuYasha do you think I would be here writing this thing? Four words, Not on my life…
Dog Run ch.1
Stupid harness…
The unfortunate dog was strapped to a cart which was loaded with thousands of pounds. The stress of the weight was even causing the axels to buckle, let alone the poor creatures back.
He could see his breath be blown out of his could nostrils, and the only thing keeping him semi-warm was his mud caked fur. It had once been silver, but now he wasn't sure if it would ever lose the nasty colorations of dirt, grime, and other unmentionable substances.
Two more yards…he thought, hopefully.
"Get movin', dog." his current master grunted like a simpleton, as the man snapped the wooden stick on the dog's back; though thankfully his fur absorbed most of the blow. "Then yea can go rot in your corner." He heard his master's scratchy laughter, but he soon blocked it out. Just one more step…
He threw all his strength into the final foot. His muscled screamed at the strain, but it was worth it; now his job was done."Good job, mutt." his idiot master slurred and smacked his fat hand on the dog's neck. The man untied the restricting harness and led the dog to an enclosure where other demon beasts were held. Most were livestock and ox demons; brainless idiots the lot of them.
The dog growled and walked past the animals as the gate closed behind him. He continued on to his corner. His haven, where he could rest and think of plan to escape yet another failed attempt to lift---
Someone was in his corner…
Instantly the dog growled, his fur sticking up on his neck and back. This nameless demon dared to steal his spot! Oh, ho the fur was going to fly…
In an instant he leapt at the large beast and it returned the favor in kind. He ripped at the demon's legs and tried to get under it so he could go for it's neck, but that thing was smart. It shielded it's neck by keeping it's head down, and waiting to attack the dog.
"'Eye now, wot's all this?!" they heard, but the two fighting creatures paid no attention.
The dog suppressed a yip as the demon he was fighting grabbed him by the neck and pinned him to the ground. He growled and tried to claw the creature away, but it's hide and fur was like armor.
By then a crowd had gathered and the owners of the two animals began taking the bets. "Who thinks my dog'll beat the demon, eh?" the dog's owner shouted above the noise. His rival shouted out his own bait.
"Who thinks my full-blood demon will ripe the head off the half-breed?!" Cheers and shouts were heard; obviously they wanted the pure-blood to win.
He was losing, even though he wouldn't admit it to himself. His bursting lungs and aching neck said for him, however. He slashed his opponent's face with is claws, but the stubborn idiot didn't seem to notice he had just lost an eye.
So this is it, huh? Never did lift that damn---Suddenly he saw a young girl push her way through the crowd, jabbing elbows and fists into anyone's gut who didn't move fast enough. She looked too petite and helpless to be beating random village idiots in their stomachs, let alone coming to a match between a half-breed dog and a full-blooded demon.
"Stop!" she commanded and turned in a fury to his master and the other demon's trainer. "Get that demon off that dog, now!" she snarled with enough authority that could match a samurai general's. "Move!" she repeated, when nobody did anything.
The demon's owner whistled some kind of command that caused the thing to reluctantly let go of the dog's throat and back away, though ready to attack again at the slightest hint.
The girl ran to the dog's side and rubbed his muddy head, affectionately. "You'll be safe soon." she said, with her blue eyes holding incredible concern, and for a fleeting moment the dog was suddenly struck with a hopeful thought…
Maybe she will lift the curse? But he kicked the idea away. It may have been hopeful, but it was also ludicrous.
The girl turned to the crowd, "Who's dog is this?" she demanded. The owner stepped up, with his fat hands on his bulgy hips.
"That mutt be mine." he said. "Who be you to ask?" The girl sent him smirk and narrowed her eyes as though something were humorous.
"Congratulations. He's now mine." she replied, smartly.
"WHAT?!" the man shouted, as he moved towards her with his fatty fists clenching. Suddenly the dog began to growl threateningly, clearly stating to his owner to keep his distance. What did I do that for?"You heard me," the girl continued. "My father is the lord of the village and he will execute you if you do not hand over this dog to me."
"Bull." the man spat, though kept his space.
"Here is our family crest." The girl held up a pendent attached to a necklace. Obviously it was important because many in the crowd gasped and run away, trying to avoid trouble. "My proof." she said.
The dog master looked like he had just been stabbed. "B-but this dog is dangerous, milady! He can't be trusted, he could turn---
"That is my business." she interrupted dully. "He may be a half-demon dog, but now he is my half-demon dog." She turned away from the man and urged the dog to get up, which he did with difficulty.
"My father will hear of this." The girl said, with the flick of her hair. She didn't look back, as she led the injured dog around the corner, and down the street. When she knew no one would listen to her, she spoke. "I know you can understand me." she said, as she held is beaded collar. His golden eyes watched her warily as she dragged him along.
Her hair was black, thick, and unruly and it bounced around in the wind as she pulled him along, quickly. She was small yes, but she made up for her lack of size with her spirit; and guts, he noticed.
"Those men were very gullible," she continued, as one of her hands moved to fumble around in her obi, which held her kimono in place, and she pulled out the family crest. "My friend stole this pendant from the real lord's daughter just last week." she tossed it to some beggar man they passed, and his eyes lit up in shock.
The girl sparred a glance her new companion and said something strange. "All our patience has finally paid off."
He wasn't sure of that laststatement, but he was sure it wouldn't led to something in his favor…
