Disclaimer: Inuyasha isn't mine, nor will it never be in any future :P
Author note:
I know I should probably work on some of my other fics and not go and start another, but this is a one shot, so if I don't get a lot of response from it, I'll probably not continue ^_^ So, if you do like it, you better review!! I think this is an original ideal, but if it isn't , I'm really sorry for claiming that!!
Anyway, this story features Buyo, the wonderful cat that is both lazy and fat, yet can be so incredibly funny and cool at the same time, hehe. I am going to say that he is a male, though I sorta forgot if he was a boy or girl…hey, Inuyasha didn't center around this cat ^_^ Also, Kirara is a girl, and again I wasn't sure exactly what sex she was, but in this she is a FEMALE and Buyo, for the last time, is a MALE. I am sure we can all guess whose the couple going to be in this story ^_^
THE MAIN CAST
Buyo: This little cat knows absolutely nothing beyond the comfort of his home. He is at the pinnacle of domestication when he suddenly finds himself thrown in the wilderness.
Kirara: A girl youkai cat-like creature who can most definitely take care of herself and is much wilder than Buyo (Obviously)
Okay, so let the randomness begin!!
Buyo rubbed his head against the chair his human was sitting in, wondering with some impatience why no one had the sense to feed him. The human girl, Kagome, use to take care of him, but lately, she seemed to be given very little thought to him. In fact, she seemed to be more away than at home, and though it was below his interest to know exactly where she frolicked off to constantly, it did upset him that now her grandpa fed him. The other two humans in the household had elected the strange old man to do the job, and the geezer had decided to start Buyo on a diet.
Buyo did not like diets. In fact, he hated them with a burning passion that was only countered by his hatred of water and of dirty places. He was after all a cat and he prided himself on his cleanliness.
Can't you see how hungry I am! He meowed at his human, who just looked down at him absently and scratched him behind his ears. I don't want to be petted! I want food! He sighed, wishing that humans had the sense to notice that a hungry cat wasn't a happy cat. Deciding that it was a lost cause to try to get any food from Kagome while she was 'studying'—he wasn't sure quite what that was, but she grumbled about it often enough that he assumed it was as bad as not getting fed—and padded into the next room where Kagome's overly large backpack sat open in the middle of the floor.
He sniffed it gingerly, his ears pricking up as the smell of food coming from it awoke what little adventure instincts he had left. Carefully raising himself to look into the bag, the smell only increased. Without questioning his luck, he jumped into the bag, determined to get at the food.
"No!!! I'm going to be late!!" Kagome's voice came from the other room. Buyo sat up from inside the bag, his ears twitching from the sudden sound. Suddenly, the ground under him shifted and the light that had been flickering from the top of Kagome's backpack closed. Buyo was too busy trying to get a grip on the suddenly unstable surface beneath him to properly react. What are you doing? He meowed loudly. Let me out right now!! The bouncing didn't stop. And why did you have to place all this food in these strange containers!!
Kagome ran out of the house, hoping that Inuyasha wasn't going to be too mad at her for being a few hours late. She thought she heard a noise from behind her, but then ignored it, figuring that it was probably her family saying good bye to her. She flung open the doors of the shrine, stopping in surprise when finding her Grandfather standing in front of the well. "Do you need anything before I go?" She asked, already swinging one of her legs over the side of the well.
"Does arbitrary fertinous sound like a real sickness to you?" He asked her.
"Don't tell me I have that now? Can't you just say that I died? That'd be much more believable." Kagome moaned.
"But it is my duty to make sure that your secret isn't found out." He said solemnly. Kagome sighed, turning around as she heard a muffled meow from somewhere in the shrine.
"You enjoy your duty too much, you know?" She said, and got herself ready to jump down the well. "Oh, I think I let Buyo out. He's probably hiding somewhere in the shrine." With that, she let go of the sides and let herself fall into the depths, the familiar sensation of traveling back in time coming over her.
She felt the ground solidify below her and looked up, seeing Inuyasha looking down at her with a scowl. "You're late!" He called to her, then jumped down and took her bag.
"Sorry, but I can't stop living my life at home too." She snapped back at him, but couldn't hide the smile that was already forming across her lips. She really had missed Inuyasha while she was gone—he had actually let her stay a week this time, since it was his time of the month and they wouldn't be hunting for the shikon no tama anyway. "How is everyone?" She asked, climbing up while Inuyasha easily leapt out of the well, still carrying her bag.
"Heh, they all miss you, but their good." Inuyasha sniffed the bag, his nose scrunching up. "What did you bring this time? It smells funny."
"Oh, I brought some food from my time, since I know you all like it so much." Kagome said absentmindedly.
"Kaaaagoooomeee!!!" A loud voice yelled from the distance, and she wasn't too surprised to see Shippou running toward her. Inuyasha set down the bag, looking annoyed as the fox leaped into her arms. "Kagome!! I missed you!" The kitsune cried.
"I missed you to Shippou." She told him promptly, giving him a hug. "Where are Sango and Miroku?"
"They're back with Kaede, waiting for you." He told her. Kagome looked to Inuyasha, who had already picked up her pack again. She noticed that it was open now and frowned at him.
"You didn't sneak any of the food did you? That's for everyone." She told him. Shippou glared at Inuyasha.
"You better not have eaten my portions, or I'm going to bite you!" He threatened.
"I didn't touch the damn food!" Inuyasha cried.
"Sure you didn't." Kagome shrugged, not wanting to get in a fight with him already. She smiled, then said, "Well, lets get back," as she walked towards Kaede's home. It was good being back in the Feudal times.
Buyo had no idea what was going on, but once the ground stopped shaking, he squeezed out of the bag, opening up as he got through. For the first time, he was somewhat glad of the diet that the old human had forced him to go on—he was actually a lot skinnier that he once was. Without looking back, he fled from the repulsive object, deciding that Kagome was crazy to carry around such a dangerous thing. What if it swallowed her too? Maybe that's where she was when she disappeared…trapped within that horrible bag.
After a few minutes of flight, he stopped running, panting as he realized how out of shape he was. For the first time, he took a minute to look around his surroundings. He seemed to be in a giant backyard, but there were no humans in sight. Buyo didn't smell the gas fumes those loud vehicles made as they passed by his house, or could hear them for that matter. What really bugged him was that he couldn't smell any of his humans.
Wait…he did smell Kagome, only it seemed to be in the distance. She'll know what to make of this. He decided. With that thought in mind, he set a lazy place after her, figuring that he could always track her if she decided to move. If he ran around like a dog following its master, it would seem like he was actually trying to find her. This way, he could just pretend to bump into her. It was the cat way to do things.
After a long time of walking, he sensed that something following. Wearily looking around, he wondered what he should do. Suddenly, out of the trees broke a giant creature, cream colored with a large black diamond spot in the middle of its head. Its eyes were a crimson red and it looked nearly cat like—if it hadn't of been nearly five cats taller than him.
Not knowing what else to do, Buyo hissed loudly, his fur ruffling up to try to make himself look at least a little bit of a bigger menace. Don't hurt me! He cried, sort of ruining the effect, but he decided to forgive himself since he wasn't use to these sorts of situations. The creature looked at him, then suddenly disappeared.
Buyo looked in surprise at the space where the terrifying creature had once occupied, then realized its scent hadn't diminished.
Who are you? A voice asked him. Buyo lowered his head, realizing that another creature, very similar to the first except that it was proper cat size and a lot less intimidating, was standing in the same spot where the other one had vanished.
Buyo. He answered, a little shocked by the circumstances. What are you? He asked instantly, knowing that whatever she was, she was definitely not a cat, or a dog, or any other animals that he had ever smelled before.
I'm Kirara, a youkai of course. The creature told him. It's sort of stupid for you to be coming out at night when other, hungry youkai are just waking up. She looked at him curiously. Why are you here? I know that I've never smelled you before.
Buyo sighed. I have no idea where here is and some terrible bag monster brought me to this place. I'm trying to find Kagome since she must've gotten trapped here too.
Kagome? Kirara's eyes flickered. She must be your human, right?
You know her too? He asked, a little surprised.
Of course. My human, Sango is good friends with her. The youkai told him. A sudden wind carried an unknown scent to them both. Buyo looked around, frightened by the smell. A large crash sounded from in front of them.
Damn, a youkai! Kirara swore, and suddenly transformed into the same creature she was before. Jump on my back! She told him, and Buyo, who didn't have any better idea of what he should do, did as she said, trying his best to hold on without using his claws as she leapt into the air. I don't want to lead it back to where my friends are, even if they could take care of him easily. She murmured, half to herself and half explaining on why they were moving away from Kagome's scent.
You can fly? Buyo asked, seeing how high they were up in the air.
Kirara laughed. Of course I can fly. She said, then her laughter stopped as a dark shadow grew above them.
I don't think you're the only one who can.
I know, it's somewhat short, but I will write more if people like it ^_^ I hope it's unique enough for all of ya'll!! Anyway, the main couple is, of course, going to be good ole Buyo and Kirara, but there will also be some M/S and I/K hehe.
Please review!!!
