He crashed to the ground with a tiger-sized feline pressing him down in the cold grass, looking over her shoulder with an angry look on it's face.

Inuyasha sat up as the animal leapt off of him and towards the dog demon ferociously. He jumped up and ran towards his half brother, pulling his sword from it's sheath, shouting threats as he did so… but he stopped dead when he saw what had happened.

The cat demon had disappeared and in her place was a strange sort of girl, fighting ferociously against the youki. In fact Sesshomaru was obviously just as surprised as Inuyasha, but he continued to try and bring on this girls demise as though nothing was wrong.

'Are you getting females to do your fighting now?' he asked, trying to keep his voice neutral but the effort to keep her fast moving limbs from throwing him of guard.

'Female?' asked the girl as she aimed yet another lethal kick at his face which he parried with difficulty. She had sapphire blue hair with sky blue ears poking through along with a long, fluffy sky blue tail which flicked around behind her elegantly, the fur standing on end. Her skin was a pale shade of blue and her skin tight unitard was marine blue with sky blue tiger stripes running from the outside to the middle, and she had heavy, marine blue, fluffy uggs covering her feet.

The Hanyou noticed that she still had the strange star shaped mark just below her left sapphire coloured eye.

'This female has a name,' she said her voice pulled with the force of her attacks and her parries as she dodged her adversaries assaults. 'It's Puxi, and you'll be screaming for forgiveness in a minute.'

'Try me.' replied Sesshomaru, sending his whip-like weapon at the young girl with the blue skin and ears, his brow furrowed into a frustrated scowl. 'I think you'll find you won't be around then.' he added, a small sarcastic smile creeping across his face.

The girl growled in frustration and threw herself at her foe, sending fast moving kicks and fists aimed for his face and head, deflecting his own strikes and sending more at him.

Inuyasha couldn't believe his eyes… She looks younger than Kagome… he thought to himself, watching in awe.

'Go and wake the others up!' screamed the girl at the Hanyou, still struggling against the Youki. Inuyasha was about to retort angrily, but she cut across him angrily. 'Just DO IT!!!' she screamed as the fluorescent whip flew past her right ear, too close for her comfort. So Inuyasha turned and ran back to the others, muttering to himself angrily.

'Who does she think she is?' he asked himself, as he knelt down beside Kagome. He gazed at her for a moment, her relaxed lips in a tiny smile making her absolutely gorgeous… all of a sudden Inuyasha remembered what he was supposed to be doing. 'Kagome, wake up.' he said quietly, pushing on her arm gently. But she didn't wake up. 'What the..?' he asked himself. He shook her harder, but she didn't move. He moved to Sango and did the same, then to Miroku and Shippo, getting the same from all of them.

He looked over his shoulder as he heard the blue girl squeal in pain and surprise and saw her being grabbed by the ankle and thrown towards the river. She stopped herself just before she fell in, standing on tiptoe with her hands out, wiggling them around trying desperately not to fall in… but to no avail.
