Time Warp
The ground crunched oddly as I turned over in my sleep. I don't remember camping or even going outside. I rolled onto my stomach and tried to lay my head down on my pillow but I hit a sharp rock with my temple.
"OW! SHIT!" I clutched my wounded skull and curled into a ball. "Damn! That hurt!" I looked to see what had attacked me and threw the rock against a very large tree. It ricocheted back and hit me in the forehead. I rubbed my forehead and decided to figure out where I was. Sitting up and stretching, I scratched my head and found some large feline ears.
Confused, I was still half asleep and I didn't know if it was something in my hair or something else. I tugged on it and it hurt! It flicked and I had realized I did it. There was a strange and random puddle of water nearby and I crawled over sleepily. My face looked pretty much the same tanish tone, but fuzzy, and my hair stuck up in almost every direction possible. My left eye was purple and my right brown, that was odd I didn't have a purple eye. My hands were normal and fuzzy as well and I still had my Felix the Cat © pajamas. It was a white spaghetti tank top with blue trim with light blue shorts that barely covered my butt. My stomach, chest and toes were all white with a black, lower left leg. A bushy black wolf/fox-like tail protruded from the end of my tailbone, cutting through my shorts just below the waist band like someone cut a hole. My feet were very feline, I reminded myself a bit like Shippo. And last but not least, there was a blue collar about my skinny neck with a bell hanging off the front of it.
I got up and flipped my tail around and twitched my ears. Hopping around I ended up floating in the air several feet off the ground.
"AHH!! Get me down from here!" I flailed about, not realizing that levitating was one of my powers. I twisted in the air and flipped as if attached to an invisible string. A glowing arrow whizzed by my head and I landed on the ground with a loud thump. "OW!" Another glowing arrow slammed in the ground beside me and sent me flying into a tree. "DAMN IT! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" I stood up and rubbed my lower back.
"Don't move! This time I won't miss!"
The voice was all too familiar. I turned around and saw the all too familiar green skirt flapping in the wind. I cocked my head. "K-Kagome?" My tail twitched.
"That's right, Demon! Hand over the jewel chard or you're mince meat!"
"Shard? Where?" I looked around on the floor.
"Quit foolin'! I know you have a shard! I can see it!"
"I know that you dim wit. Where is the stupid shard?"
Kagome lowered her bow just a little bit. "It's in your chest."
"Me chest? Is that why it hurts?" I poked my breast plate.
"Having a shard in you doesn't hurt."
"Oh, um... I knew that." I made a face and was thrown into another tree, blood dripping from my left arm. "What the hell!" I clutched my bleeding arm and turned around; InuYasha was standing beside Kagome, blood dripping from his left hand. "Hey! What did I do?"
"Hand over the shard or I'll be forced to rip you to shreds." He cracked his knuckles.
"Leave me the fuck alone!" I growled. "I would hand over yer stinkin' shard but I don't know how to get it out."
"I could take care of that." InuYasha sprang at me, yelling. "Iron Revere Soul Stealer!"
I took that as a warning and sprang away as the tree behind me shattered. He jumped up at me and I did a barrel role out of the way. He missed but side swiped and cut my already wounded arm. I flipped in the air and was ready to land but I wasn't moving I was floating again.
"Damn it! Get me down from here!"
InuYasha jumped back up at me and landed on my stomach, I was floating on my back. Then I rolled over.
"Ahh!" He nearly fell off my but he was clinging to my waist.
"Get off me!" I started to beat on his head with my good arm. He wouldn't move. So I pulled on his ears, he still wouldn't move. "KAGOME! HE-"I fell to the ground and landed on InuYasha's stomach.
"Oof!" He huffed, the wind knocked out of him.
"I'm sorry!" I jumped off him and tried to help him up with my good arm, I was a lot stronger than I thought. He punched me. "Hey! Stop it! I didn't do anything to ye!"
"You're not like the other demons we've slayed." Kagome walked over and crouched down.
"Oh, now ye notice?" I stood up, rubbing my face. "I'm not even a demon." I snorted.
"How is that possible?" InuYasha sniffed me. I pushed him away.
"Don't do that or I'll bite you."
"Like you would." He stuck his finger in my face. I bit him, blood running over my tongue. "Ow! Hey!" He pulled his finger away.
I snickered. "I bite."
"What's your name?" Kagome asked.
"Krizpie. Well, actually it's Crystal but everyone calls me Krizpie." I looked around. "Where's Sango, Shippo, Miroku, and Kirara?"
"Present!" Miroku's voice sounded from the side and behind a tree.
I turned around to find Miroku leading Kagome's bike with Shippo and Kirara in the basket. Sango was soon to fallow with her giant boomerang strapped to her back.
"Yay! The whole gang's here!" I hopped up and down, clapping.
Shippo looked up sleepily. "What's going on? And who's calling for us?" He spotted me and jumped. "K-Kagome. Who's that?" The little Kitsune pointed at me.
I ended up tackling him without knocking over the bike. "He's so cute! I love his little feet and tail." I giggled and cuddled the little demon.
"Ahh! Help!" He cried.
Miroku sighed. "The cute ones always get all the luck."
I set him down and cleared my throat when he scurried away to Kagome and tried to regain what little dignity I had to begin with. "Um... sorry about that." I grinned.
InuYasha was now sitting on the ground with his arms and legs crossed in his signature position, Kagome sitting beside him. Miroku and Sango sat beside each other on the opposing side of InuYasha, Shippo and Kirara playing in a small stream nearby.
I was sitting in front of them, a safe distance away incase InuYasha decided to attack again. The deep gashes in my arm inflicted by InuYasha's claws were dressed by Kagome, whom wouldn't stop apologizing through the process. My legs were crossed and my hands behind my fuzzy head as I leaned against a surprisingly soft tree.
"So, InuYasha, why did ye attack me arm back there?"
"Because you're a demon and I always attack demons with shards."
"First of all, I didn't know I had a shard in me; Second, I'm not a demon."
Everyone looked at me.
"How's that possible, I mean, you look just like-"
"How can anyone tell what a person is by their looks? I'm part Irish, Cherokee, German, and Polish; but I sure as hell don't lookit."
"How can one person be so many things at once?" Miroku looked at me.
"Heritage, dude." I answered.
"But you are a demon." InuYasha argued.
"I wasn't last time I checked, I was still human. Well.... At least me body was." I made a face.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Kagome looked perplexed.
"I'm actually six hundred thirty two as of April, but me human body was only sixteen. Since I'm feline, I've already lost three, not includin' me human form, o' me nine lives." I mumbled.
"Care to explain?" InuYasha snorted.
"Certainly." I shot him a dirty look. "As far as anyone knows, I could be a demon; but me first body was a dark unicorn, or nightmare, me coat was a glorious onyx with a transparent violet horn. I ate meat, o' course, mostly goats and smaller animals. I lived in an alternate reality, a sort of, forgotten realm type deal. I lived in a mountainous region, takin' refuge in a large cave I defended from the largest o' creatures, some o' them good enough to eat. Bones littered the cavern floor and I slept in a bed of skins and leaves; I never ate the skins, they were always too tough and fatty. I ended up with a Spanish name, apparently it meant 'giant goat eating lizard'. Pff!" I shook my head.
"Anyways, that lasted for about five hundred years; I was eventually killed by a huge dragon-like creature. Me second life was a white, blue, and Easter green dragonfly. The larva stage was really dull, all I was able to do was sleep, eat, and wiggle around. Then I was a pupa, snoresvill, sleeping for several months of me little life wasn't on the agenda. Then I was the dragonfly, I lived for about a month, eating mosquitoes, zooming over ponds and lakes playing with the water, even seeing how I can fly against the wind. Then I got eaten by a damn frog." I scowled.
"Me third life was as a house cat, luxurious as it was, it lasted twenty five years. I was a very light pinkish-orangish color with fur and a light pink collar with rhinestones on it, a little bell hung off the front of it. I ate out of a crystal bowl and slept on the cushioniest of pillows and played with the most expensive toys. No, me owner wasn't a millionaire but she did make a good amount of money and lived alone, with two other cats, including me. The other one was a white haired Persian with a powder blue collar with rhinestones on it with a little bell that hung off the front of it. He had icy blue eyes and didn't like me much so we didn't interact much. Sometimes we would play together, even eat together, but that was it. Besides the stupid male, it was the best twenty five years of me existence." I shrugged. "Then I was a human. Damn humans. I hated it, besides being treated like a fuckin' hamster, I'm tortured by me little sister, ironic." I growled.
"And you remember all of this?" Miroku added when I was finished.
"Pretty much, me memory's goin' bad in me old age. But me best friend's around five thousand so I'm still a kit compared ta her." I shrugged. "No biggy."
"But I'm the reincarnation of Kikio."
"Aye, that ye are. That means ye got her soul, not her mind. I just changed forms really, so I retained my conscious mind and soul."
"It still doesn't make any sense." Miroku scratched his head.
"It doesn't have too, it's just what happened." I shrugged.
"And if you can do all that, then you're definitely a demon." InuYasha put in.
"I'm not a demon! I'm Krizpie." I was getting irritated.
"You smell just like one, and trust me; I know what a demon smells like."
"I don't give a damn what a demon smells like, I'm not one... Okay, I might be one but I don't know I'm not one fer sure."
"Smells like a feline demon to me... No wait, you smell a bit like a wolf... fox? Why do you have so many different smells?" InuYasha looked at me.
"Because I am part cat, wolf, and fox, see?" I wiggled my bushy black tail under his nose. "That's me doggy part and this," I pulled on my ears, "is me catty part." I nodded vigorously.
"Can we stop arguing, it's not important." Sango tried to break it up.
"Don't tell me it ain't important, ye sound like me dad." I growled.
"What? You don't like your father?" Miroku asked.
"Not a lick. He's the one who caged me like a hamham."
"Hamham?"
"Erm... Hamster." I cleared up. "Forget it." I waved my hands dismissible.
"Alright, so, where're you from?" Kagome asked.
"The U.S."
"What the hell is a 'U.S.'?" InuYasha snorted.
"A country, like Japan, only partway around the world; and we have states, like Virginia, and Wisconsin, and Ohio." I explained further.
"Are you from my time?" Kagome questioned.
"Are ye still from 1998?"
"No, 2004."
"Yes! I am so there. Erm... was there." I made a face. "So that makes you, what, twenty, twenty one?"
"Yes, so?"
I blinked. "Yer not wit' InuYasha yet are ye?" I whispered into her ear. I was answered with a slap on the face.
Miroku looked at me, perplexed.
I twitched. "What was that for? Ye've been 'round these goons fer five, six years and yer still not wit' 'im! I fink that's nuts. I would ha-" I was silenced by a flying tackle and a hard meeting with the ground. "What the fuck?"
I looked up, InuYasha glaring at me. "I heard that. And I knew what you were gona say."
All I did was grin; I think I even drooled a bit. "How would you know? Unless ye were telepathic, like FRED" I snickered, tackled him and started to pull on his ears. "I forgot ye was here!" I cling to him. "I'm yer biggest fan!"
"Get it off me!" He tried to pull me off, Sango and Kagome helping out.
"Oswari!" Kagome yelled.
A loud 'oof' sounded from both me and the hanyou now pinning me to the ground.
"Don't do that!" InuYasha yelled up at Kagome.
"You said to get her off you." She smirked.
But it didn't work; I was still clinging to his obi. "Mmm, ye smell as good as ye... um... look?" I grinned.
InuYasha growled, everyone else just shook their head, and attempted to pry me off him but I was relentless. I ended up crawling onto his head and sitting cross-legged, pulling on his cute little ears once in a while.
"Could someone please get this thing off my head?" He complained?
"Why? She's a very good hat for you." Kagome giggled.
Growling, he pushed me off; I landed on the floor with a heavy thud.
"Meow! That hurt!" I pulled a rock out from under me. "I've already gotten the concept of solid objects." I made a face and yawned. "So, what's for breakfast?"
"Breakfast? We already had breakfast." InuYasha snorted.
"But I'm huuuunggrrryyyy!" I complained. "I want some waaaaafllllless!"
"What's a waffles?" Sango asked Miroku who just shrugged.
"I'm sure I've got something you can munch on in here." Kagome was sifting through the many items in her giant yellow back, she pulled out a box of Cheezits©. "Would this help?"
"Hai!" I took the box and started to munch on the cheesy squares. "I love Cheezits©."
Kagome rode her bike, the other walking steadily beside, behind, or in front of her. I rode on the back where InuYasha normally rode, munching away happily at my snack. Kirara and Shippo were weary of my presence, making sure that I wouldn't tackle them as I did the hanyou. My black tail flicked easily from side to side, large black ears listening for anything that might catch my attention.
The sun was high and my belly was getting full of Cheezits© and my course, yet affective coat, was soaking up the heat. My clothing was skimpy, helping to rid myself of most of the heat. When I'm uncomfortable or unhappy, I complain, and then make the others unhappy so they complain. I couldn't help it, complaining was a way to get things out so maybe someone can fix it.
"I'm hoooooooooott!" I whined, catching the annoying attention on InuYasha. "Is it always this hot here? I want my air-conditioning back; or maybe a fan." I started to pant, drooling all over myself.
"Shut up, no one cares." InuYasha looked at me. "And I thought you were a cat, not a dog."
I shut my mouth and glared at him. "I am of the feline species, and as a matter of fact, we can pant too when it gets hot enough. I've seen all me cats plus all the big cats pant when it gets hot enough." I snorted and panted and again for a minute or so. "Damn! It's so hot! Are we sitting dead in the equator or something?"
"No, we're by china, remember? And it should be getting cold in a few months." Kagome answered.
"Oh ya! Wow, then why the hell is it so hot? FEW MONTHS?" I made another face, seeming to always do that. "This sucks monkey balls." I snorted and started panting again.
"Shut up! You're bugging me and your piercing voice it killing my ears!" InuYasha spat.
"Piercing eh? I'll show ye piercing!" I leapt at him, tackling him and sending up both to the ground.
"Hey! What're you, Ow!" InuYasha struggled with me, trying to pry me off him again.
I bit his ears, crimson blood welling up in my mouth and on his white auds. "How's that fer piercing you twit!" I clung to him, gnawing on the tip of his ears but not hard enough to bite them off.
"OW! THAT HURTS!!" The half demon clawed at me, trying to get his cute little ears away from my sharp teeth.
I growled; tail wagging somewhat like a dog behind me. I let go and lifted my head, staring at the others.
They were watching, they all dropped what ever they were doing to watch. No one within the group had every fought with InuYasha, this was new.
"You do know he can beat you, right?" Sango asked.
"He can not! Why do you think I'm still here? If he could beat me, I'd be in piece back at the clearing." I boasted. "So, therefore, I AM STRONGER!! BWAHAHAHA!!!" I 'flexed' my flabby muscles and falling off his back.
While I was lying on my back, InuYasha took the opportunity to pin me, sitting on my stomach. "Oof, Hey! Get off me!" I struggled, but he was heavy, I could get to a good position to throw him off. And with my highly intelligent mind, I flung my legs up, caught his head with my ankles, and threw him off me. He flew head into a tree and slumped to the ground. "Ha! See what I mean? The Kriz is smart!" I shook like a dog, my bell jingling.
InuYasha moaned and got up, rubbing his head and fixing his obi. Snorting, he turned away from me, leading the group once again. I followed him on all fours, my tail strait up in the air in a playful motion, wagging back and forth. I followed like a loyal pup, snapping at his obi legs and hopping around him.
He kicked me and I flew about a dozen feet before hitting a large rock. I blacked out, but before I lost consciousness I heard a very loud and angry 'oswari'.
