I refuse to put a disclaimer here cause everyone should be bright enough to know that I don't own InuYasha. I'm pretty sure that's why this is called FANfiction.

The Question Game
My eyes opened a crack and I could see the sky above me moving. So either the clouds were moving at some supernatural rate or whatever I was laying on was moving.
I sat up quickly, only to have laid back down due a sudden burst of pain in my head.
"Owwww," I moaned while putting a hand up to my forehead.
"She's alive!" The sound of a little girl said, breaking through the silence I didn't know was there.
I heard someone huff loudly, "Well of course she's alive! Lord Sesshomaru wouldn't have bothered listening to you and taking her along if she were dead!" an annoying voice exclaimed.
Slowly I sat up, holding the side of my head. I saw this green…thing… "Hey annoying green booger type thing, shut up," I said and closed my eyes before opening them again, "I've got a major headache and your voice doesn't help," I said.
A little girl with dark hair giggled, "She told you Jaken!" she said and looked up at me, smiling warmly, "My name is Rin, what's yours?" she asked.
I was now rubbing my temples, "I'm Nicole, but you can call me Nikki," I said while smiling down at her.
"What's that?" she then asked and pointed to my backpack.
"Oh hey," I said, "Forgot I had this…" I said mainly to myself. I then got excited, "Oooh! Maybe it has pain killers!" I then started to dig through it.
"Pain killers?" she asked, her eyes widening, "Sounds horrible."
I grinned as my hand enclosed on a small box. I pulled it out triumphantly, "No, actually it just helps take your mind off of pain. It's not too strong because this is over the counter stuff. You get the powerful stuff in hospitals," I told her.
She frowned, "Over the counter? Hospitals?" she asked.
I nodded absentmindedly as I read how many I was supposed to take, took them out and popped them in my mouth, "Now fer some 'ater," I said while trying not to move my tongue so much.
Putting my hand in the backpack, I instantly found it, a bottle of water. I unscrewed the cap and took a couple mouthfuls, swallowing the pills at the same time.
"You have water in a bottle?" Rin asked looking at me wide eyed.
"Yeah…" I said slowly, "You don't?" I asked.
She shook her head causing her long dark hair to fly around her, "We only get water from the rivers and when Lord Sesshomaru stops," she said.
"Sessh…huh?" I asked looking confused, "What kind of name is that?"
Rin's eye widened and glanced behind her before facing me again, "You shouldn't say that. It's Sesshomaru, Lord Sesshomaru," she said, pronouncing his name slowly.
"Sesshomaru," I repeated.
Heh, maybe I could call him Lord Ho…
I don't suggest you do that…
What the- oh wait, you're the sub thingy aren't you?
Uh…yeah!
You don't sound so sure…
"So who's this 'Lord' Sessh…Sessh…" I said and sighed, "Maybe I should just call him Lord Sessh or Sesshy?"
Rin frowned slightly, "I don't think you should do that…I don't think he'll like that very much," she said.
"When the hell did I start caring what others thought?" I asked quietly, not really caring who heard me. I rolled my eyes slightly and then yawned, "Is it alright if I fall back asleep again?" I asked.
My mind was still sort of clouded so I wasn't thinking logically.
She nodded while giving me a quick smile, "Yeah, in fact I think you should," she said while nodding importantly.
"Thank you," I muttered softly before leaning back and closing my eyes. Almost instantly, I fell asleep.
An annoying voice aroused me from my dream. It was that thing Rin had called Jaken, I could just tell by the sound.
I then cracked my eyes open, looking around. Still drowsy from my sleep, everything was slightly blurred.
"Oh Lord Sesshomaru! She's awake!" Rin exclaimed somewhere near me.
I sat up groaning, trying to make everything clear again. I looked up and yelled, toppling backwards off of what I was laying on previously, which turned out to be some sort of animal.
From my position on the ground, I shouted, "Holy shit a walking pie!" Probably not the smartest thing to do, but meh, like I cared. That and I was still sleepy to have my brain work things out on its own.
I got up as I saw the white thing come towards me. I got up and saw that it was a person, not food. And here I was, ready to pounce on it. Good thing I didn't though…I was pretty hungry…
"Are you going to try and eat me?" the person asked, their voice darker than I would have imagined and low.
My eyes widened, "Whoa! I thought you were a girl!" I exclaimed before clapping my hands over my mouth. I wasn't supposed to be rude to strangers…
The person's golden gaze narrowed slightly at me, "And what characteristics do you find to be feminine?" he asked. He had two marks on each cheek that were a deep purple and that were sort of like triangles. He had a dark blue crescent moon on his forehead and long silver hair that seemed almost white. Well anyone else would have mistaken him for a girl too!!
I coughed slightly, "Well uh…" was all I said.
He took one step forward, "I asked you a question wench," he said, his gaze unwavering and his stone-like face unchanging.
That's when I burst out laughing, "Wench? What in God's name is that?!" I asked, trying to keep my giggles from getting to out of control, "I'm sorry but that was all too funny."
He had the slightest hint of being curious on his face, "Now what is so funny about me calling you wench?" he asked, "And I still want my question answered from before."
I was now taking deep breathes to calm myself down, "Ok well if you want everything truthful then I'll tell you," I said looking at him. He gave me a slight nod so I continued, "First off, your hair is much too long for a guy's and the eye shadow looks hilarious. Second, I see that your nails are super long, longer than mine in fact."
I was proud of my long nails. Most everyone in school tried not to chew their off but failed miserably. I found the habit disgusting.
"Now for the next part," I said and looked up at him with an amused look to my green eyes, "No one ever calls anyone 'wench' or whatever you said. Honestly I thought you called me a witch. That'd be even more hilarious."
He was silent for a moment before saying, "Have you heard the word 'bitch' before?" he asked.
I nodded with an eyebrow raised.
"Good," he said, "I have some questions for you, bitch."
I smirked and barked at him, "Arf!" well it DOES mean female dog…
He stared at me for a moment, "I guess calling you names won't be as affective as it is on most people," he said.
I yawned slightly, covering my mouth with my hand, "So what do you want to know, Lord Sesshy?" I asked.
"Don't call me that," he said, a little bit of a strict tone came into his voice, "It's Sesshomaru."
I rolled my eyes, "Whatever Mr. Pie. I can't pronounce your name anyways…Who on earth gave you that name anyways?" I asked.
"My parents," he said, "And who gave you the name Nicole?" he asked right back at me.
"It's Nikki, and same goes for me," I said while sitting down on the ground, "I don't feel like standing and since I'm going to have to look up anyways, it doesn't matter."
I was sadly incredibly tiny for my age. At least he didn't know that reference to it got me ticked off. It seemed as though he wanted me angry for some reason.
"Hmm true," he said in his monotone voice. Thank God he wasn't any teacher…he would have put me to sleep in an instant if giving me a lecture.
"Since I have questions too, let's go back and forth, ok?" I asked, "You ask a question and then I ask a question, seem fair?"
He nodded, "I will get the answers one way or the other you pathetically weak human," he said, a little bitterness came into his voice when saying 'human'.
I snorted, "Well the weak part I can see if you're meaning as in who's stronger. Yeah, then in that case you are the stronger of us and I'm weak. Although you're weak in emotions, and so I'm 'stronger' at that point," I said, "But anyways, let the interrogations begin."
He stared at me, with no emotions of course, "Why were you drunk when we came upon you?" he asked.
I laughed nervously, "Uh well you see…my friend and I got a little carried away…my parents don't hide the booze very well and so sometimes we just…drink," I said scratching the back of my head.
His expression didn't change.
"Ok my turn!" I exclaimed, my nervousness gone. I thought about it for a moment before speaking, "Ok, dude, why do you wear an…outfit that has flower print on it?" I asked. I couldn't really come up with a name for his style of clothing though.
He raised an eyebrow and looked down at himself, "That is my choice," he answered.
I nodded, "Ok then, fair enough answer. You don't care what others think and so you wear what you think is appropriate, right?" I asked and he just stared at me, "Your turn!"
He blinked once before asking his question. He was now sitting against a large boulder while I was sitting on the ground, my legs laid out in front of me apart while I leaned back with my arms supporting me. (If you know what that looks like)
"Why did you think I was pie in the beginning?" he asked after a moment of silence.
I raised both my eyebrows and then grinned, "Well…pie's are fluffy and white…and you sorta look like one. With the giant fluffy thing and all," I answered, trying not to start giggling again.
His shoulder moved a little bit, causing the huge fluffy thing on it to move as well, which got me cracking up again despite how hard I tried. I quickly covered it with a cough and looked up at him.
"Now then…where am I?" I asked looking around. Wow, I just noticed that I wasn't anywhere I knew…
Smart…
Who's asking you?!
sigh never mind…
That's what I thought…
"You are in the lower region of the Western lands where the border to the South is near," he answered.
I looked at him confused, "What kind of answer is that?" I asked, "No offense, but I have no idea what you're talking about. What happened to Colorado?"
That's where I live…at least until this happened. My parents had gone skiing and fallen in love with the place even though there were basically just two seasons, winter and summer.
I was lost without the mountains…
"Colorado?" he asked, pronouncing it oddly, "I've never heard of such a place."
I raised an eyebrow, "Well that's where I live…until I came here and I still don't know where 'here' is…" I said looking at the tall trees surrounding us.
"That is your own fault for not knowing where you are," he said pointedly, "You got drunk. Now can you fight?" he asked.
My green eyes doubled in size at this question, "Eh…I'm not good with like Karate or anything like that. I just defend myself when I really need to. And if you are talking about weapons…Well I've never held a sword or any other weapon besides a kitchen knife…" I answered, now noticing the two swords by his side.
"Hn, pathetic," he said, "And I bet even your defense is weak."
I glared slightly at him, "Well at least I don't go around telling who is weak and pathetic, making others feel bad and degrading their self esteem," I said, "Now for my question…uh…ok then why'd you call me 'pathetic human' before, aren't you human too?" I asked.
This time he gave me a full, evil glare before he was suddenly in my face, "I am NOT a human. Don't you EVER make that mistake again," he said dangerously low, anger evident in his voice. Then in a flash he was back in his previous position, "I am a full fledged demon Lord, a taiyoukai."
"Eh?" I asked, "Taiyoukai? Never heard of it. But you're telling me that you are a demon? From Hell or is this something different?"
"Taiyoukai means dog demon," he stated simply, "Since you asked two questions, so can I. Why do you wear that sort of clothing?"
I looked down at myself and then back up to him, "Um well this is something I normally wear to school and stuff. I guess I forgot shoes when I left my house though…" I said as I looked at my bare feet, "But like you said before, it's my choice."
He made a 'hmmf' sort of noise before asking another question, "Why were you carrying that backpack?" he asked.
Well he asked really lame questions…to me anyways, not quite sure why he needs the answers though.
I shrugged, "Because my inner, non-drunk self told me to take it before I left. So I did," I said, "Sub something, I think."
He still stared at me, although now it was an odd stare, something that wasn't easy to pick up on his stone carved face, "Subconscious?" he asked and I nodded.
"My turn for a question!" I exclaimed while grinning up at him, "Ok then…why are you asking so many questions?" I asked, unable to come up with anything better.
"Because I need to make sure you aren't an enemy," he stated, "Although it wouldn't matter much since I would be able to defeat you quite easily. I remember everything you say in case I need it later on."
I nodded, "Oh like statistics for something," I said, "Ok your turn."
He opened his mouth to say something when he was interrupted by a girl's squeal.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin cried, running out to us and facing him, "Jaken is being mean!"
"No I wasn't!" the creepy green dude protested, coming out from behind some dense bushes, "I was merely reprimanding her for eavesdropping on your conversation!"
Rin looked back to Mr. Pie with large eyes, "He was doing it too!" she exclaimed.
The green guy, Jaken, went slack-jawed, "What are you talking about you ungrateful little-" he was cut off, though, as a deep voice sliced through the air.
"Jaken," Lord Fluffy-kins said low and threateningly.
"S-Sorry L-Lord Sesshomaru," the green booger stuttered and ushered Rin out of the small clearing I just noticed we were in.
Once again, smart…
Shut uuuuup…
Once we both saw the two of them far away where the large animal was standing did he speak, "What would you do in a battle?" he asked.
I raised an eyebrow. Something told me he didn't mean a game like Battle Ships…
"Uh well I'd defend myself as much as possible if I couldn't escape…Otherwise I'd probably just run behind someone stronger…like you," I said giving him an innocent smile as if saying 'Please protect me'.
He looked as though he were thinking this over before turning his head back to me, golden gaze meeting my green one.
"And what would you do if you were fighting me?" he asked.
