Disclaimer: I claim no rights to the Inuyasha characters...thought I seriously wouldn't mind having Sesshoumaru locked up in my room *drool* Be kind, this is my first fanfic...sorry if the characters tend to be a bit out of character.

Golden eyes pierced the darkness surrounding the land. 'Hmph' Sesshoumaru thought to himself, the pig should've shown up by now. Perched up in a tall tree, the elegant youkai waited, his trap ready to be sprung.

Buta grunted as he paced the room. What was he going to do? He knew that if he went, Sesshoumaru would have a trap waiting for him. He was the leader of his villiage, and he could not afford to become a missing person. The paper door slid open, and the fat man turned to look at the person kneeling at the entrance.

"Ano...sumimasen, Buta-sama...I have brought your clean clothes for your trip..."

Buta stared at the servant girl, Kagome, a thought forming in his mind. A slow grin spread across his grotesque features. 'Kekeke, you are soo brilliant and wonderful, Buta-san!' he thought to himself.

"Ah, yes, Kagome, please come in!" He chirped in an overly friendly manner, walking to the door and hoisting Kagome up by her elbow. He ushered her in then turned back to slide the door closed, a maniacal grin spreading across his features.

'Perfect'

---------------- Sorry, short chapter, it's late at night. In case you haven't figured it out, thoughts are enclosed in single quotation marks, thusly 'Oooh look, a thought!'. I think I have a good start on this, the scene in Buta's chamber looks really good in my mind's eye. Ya know, like in those movies where the guy is closing the door after letting someone in, and kinda secretly smiling to the camera. Ooook, and yeah, Buta means pig. Think of him as an oafish, self centered politician.
