A/N: Hey! Here's the second installment. Hope you like it! Just a note, I don't mind constructive criticism, so if you have any, feel free to let me know. Enough of me, on with the story.

Disclaimer: As much as I wish I did, I sadly do not own Inuyasha.

Chapter Two: Saved By The Yell

She had to admit the guy was beautiful. Almost more so than Sesshomaru. 'Wait a minute! Where did that thought come from?! What the heck am I thinking about HIM for?'

A deep, sexy chuckle interrupted her from her thoughts, followed by an equally sexy voice.

"I always thought humans were a bit strange, however I hadn't understood how strange until now. You have proven my theory, humans have a pointless existence."

Righteous indignation built within her as she glared daggers at the man before her. 'Just who the hell does he think he is, arrogant bastard!' The poor girl just didn't know what reason was at the moment, so she did what Kagome always does in this type of situation, she shot her mouth off.

"Hey! I don't know who you think you are Mr. High-and-Mighty, but you have some nerve approaching me like that, how DARE you! You don't even know me and choose to insult me?! I have no idea who you think you're talking to, but I won't stand for it!"

The guy seemed amused, while raising an eyebrow, which only proved to make her angrier. What was with guys and the damn eyebrow thingy…I mean, do they all go to some annual conference on How to be an Ass?!

"My dear, I'm afraid it is you who does not know to whom you speak. I am Tsukiyomi, God of the Night Sky, brother to sun goddess Amaterasu and storm god Susano. You should be careful as to how you address your betters with that mouth of yours."

'Why did that last line sound so familiar?' was the first thought that came to mind. Then she realized she had just mouthed off to one of the strongest people in the universe. 'Tch, way to go Kags! You always get yourself into trouble.' At first, Kagome was truly frightened. She remembered the story of the Moon God very well.

***Flashback***

A picture hung in the hallway of a bright moon and a man in silver robes. A young Kagome passed it by, and stopped to look at it, wanting to know its story. She decided to ask her grandfather.

"Jii-san, who is the glowing man hanging in the hallway?"

"Well, little Kagome, that is Tsuki-yomi, God of the moon and the stars. He was born from the right eye of the Creator God Izanagi. He made his sister angry by killing the food goddess, Ogetsu-no-Hime, in disgust for creating a feast for him from her bodily orifices."

"What are or-fic-ez?"

"Orifices, like your mouth and nose."

"Oh, okay. Thank you Jii-san."

***Flashback Over***

However, when she really thought about that last statement, her tirade began anew.

"JERK! You low, good-for-nothing…OOOH! Betters, BETTERS?! You think that just because you got a little control over the sky, you can come and boss me around? Well, listen here, you aren't intimidating me! I won't allow it. What is it with males who think they are above the world?! Do you think you're perfect? Huh? Obviously your sister didn't, otherwise--"

He didn't allow her to finish the statement as his eyes turned white with rage and his hand wrapped around her neck, effectively cutting off her windpipe.

'Oops, I must have hit a nerve!' Right as Kagome was turning blue from lack of air, there was a yell from the direction of camp.

"Kagome? Kagome! Where are you?! You're not finished yet, how long are you going to take?! You better hurry up, because Inuyasha's on his way!" Sango was desperately trying to save her best friend from what could be one of the most embarrassing moments of her life.

All of a sudden, Kagome could breath again. She began coughing violently, trying to regain a normal breathing pattern as the male began to speak once more.

"This conversation is not over human. You shall be punished, I just have not found the proper one. I shall return and find you alone no matter what you do. Do not attempt at escape for that will make your punishment much worse!"

The look in his eyes coupled with the malicious tone of his voice made a shiver flow through Kagome's body. The scent of fear permeated the air and it was all she could do not to cry.

'Why do I always find myself in these situations?'

She decided to get out shortly after Tsukiyomi's departure. She dressed, packed, and headed back to the others. Halfway to camp, she met a human Inuyasha.

"Oi, wench, where were you?!"

"I was bathing Inuyasha, damn, a girl can't even wash herself?" She was strangely calm.

"You took too long, you need to cut that time you spend cleaning yourself."

"You're one to talk, where were you for the past four hours?"

"That's none of your business. I--"

"Well Inuyasha, where I was should not concern you…hypocrite."

"What did you say?"

"You heard me." Luckily for Kagome, they arrived at camp just as Inuyasha lunged. It was Miroku who took the responsibility of putting Inuyasha in his place…which was on the ground, unconscious.

Kagome didn't spare him a backwards glance as she took her place by the fire and stared off into space.

The days to come would not bode well for her.
