Chapter 36: IT'S SOOO FLUFFY!

"What the hell was that for, wench?!" I yelled at her as we both got up off of the ground quickly. Though she decided to continue to argue with me. Apparently not sensing, seeing, or remembering Sesshoumaru was standing close by.

"What do you mean what was that for?! I woke up to you on top of me! What was I supposed to do when I wake up in an unknown place with a guy on top of me?!" she yelled at me with anger in her eyes, which had reverted back to their chocolate brown color.

'What the hell is going on?' I had to ask myself. "Well sorry for trying to save you from…" I started to say as I sensed danger from behind me, well more danger than earlier. I grabbed the wench and dodged the bastard's energy whip, just in the nick of time. I touched down further away and in the trees, "From him!" I yelled at her as she looked to where I was pointing at. I saw her eyes widen at the sight of the bastard who tried to kill us. I saw surprise cross her features then I saw confusion on her face as she was thinking. About what I had no idea, but when she started giggling to herself I didn't want to know.

Kagome's POV:

I had no idea what was happening. None at all. First I woke up to find Inuyasha on top of me, then we were screaming at each other and the next thing I knew I was in a different spot with Inuyasha pointing at someone. That someone was a demon. A regal looking demon with long silver hair and a face any girl would envy. He was more beautiful than anyone I had ever seen and he had, what looked, like eye shadow over his eyes and magenta stripes across his face with a blue crescent moon in the center of his forehead. Then my mind got curious, who was he, why does he look like a girl, is he a cross dresser, is he gay? Then my mind wandered further to the one time I watched 'Legally Blonde the Musical' with Aya. It went to the song 'There, Right There' and I had ask myself if he was gay or European?

(By the way I do not agree with this song and what it says. It is funny, but incredibly insulting to homosexuals and Europeans. I do find it offending and funny at the same time. Like blonde jokes, some are funny, but all are offending. I can attest to that because I do have blond hair, and I am not stupid. As you can tell by my writing. This is not meant to offend anyone, just playing off of Fluffy's amazing beauty, and all of the fan fiction with him as being a homosexual. Thanks, just wanted to clear that up!)

I couldn't help myself I had to laugh, or at least giggle to myself at my thoughts. Yet something told me that if I were to voice my thoughts, we would die. So I kept my mouth shut. After I got myself under control I asked Inuyasha, "So who's that?"

I swear Inuyasha was about to face palm himself as he looked at me in disbelief and annoyance, "You really don't remember?" he asked me. I honestly had no clue as to what he was saying.

"Remember what? I think I would have remembered boa man over there" I said as I looked at the demon with the same gold eyes as Inuyasha, except they held a coldness that rivaled Antarctica. 'I want to pet it' I absently thought as I saw how fluffy his boa was.

"Wha' the hell is a 'bo-ah'?" he asked me as I was staring at the incredibly plush thing over his shoulder.

"The fluffy thing-a-ma-bob over his shoulder" I answered and watched as he took his hand away from his body and it started to glow a yellow color. This was obviously not the time to be carrying out a conversation. Besides he looked like he wanted to kill. Not only that, but he felt like he wanted to kill me and Inuyasha. My inner voice was screaming at me to run and run damn fast.

"What you mean his tail?" Inuyasha asked me as a yellow glowing whip materialized from the youkai's finger tips.

Note to self: ALWAYS, ALWAYS listen to that little voice in the back of your head telling you to haul ass.

I just managed to scream Osuwari and get to the ground before the trees surrounding us were given a wonderful 'trimming' by our oh-so friendly demon friend. I heard Inuyasha cursing next to me and decided to get up and defend myself with my dag… 'Where is my dagger?' I thought.

Then before I knew it I was thrown against a tree, which was still standing, on the other side of the small open area. I gasped for breath from the impact and found claws at my throat with those incredibly cold eyes staring at me emotionlessly. 'What is with demons and trying to choke me?' I had to ask myself, though in this situation it did me little good.

He picked me off of the ground by my neck, sliding me up the tree and against its rough bark. "Who are you" he asked, or demanded with slightly narrowed eyes. His eyes, though they seemed cold and emotionless held some disbelief as well as curiosity. I debated kicking him where it hurt, but decided against it. He was wearing armor there, and if I did manage to get a hit in he would kill me. Unlike Inuyasha.

"Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha yelled. "Leave her alone! She is only human!" he said to the demon holding me against the tree. The only sign that he had heard was the shift in his eyes to Inuyasha's voice. Then Inuyasha charged at the man holding me off the ground and choking the life out of me. He dropped me just as Inuyasha's claws sliced through the air where the youkai once stood. Thank the kami that I was on the ground already. I really didn't want a haircut.

I saw a flash of red go by my vision as it was chased by a blur of white. They were so fast that I couldn't see them. Though I knew that the youkai was faster and most likely more powerful. They continued to trade blows with each other. Claw for claw, attack for attack. I felt that the youkai was simply playing with Inuyasha. Which he most likely was.

Then I saw a white and red blur crash into a tree nearby. The wood splintered on impact, but did not fell the tree. Though it would most definitely scar it. I winced at the destruction and the pain that Inuyasha must feel due to the impact.

"I know where it is, Inuyasha." The youkai said with a small smirk, which was more sadistic than it should have been. "Seen yet, never seen. Protected yet never known to it's protector. The last clue was provided by you; the black gate is right." He said as he held Inuyasha against the tree by his neck. 'Again the neck, always the neck. Why can't it be the shoulders?' I quickly questioned myself as I watched what was happening unfold. I could feel the tension in the air and Inuyasha cursing and growling was not making it better.

What I didn't expect to happen was the youkai to plunge his fingers into Inuyasha's right eye and retrieve a small black object. It looked like a pearl. A black pearl, not the ship.
