Disclaimer: they aren't mine but the idea is so there. Oh yea, neither is Puck, I'm just using his name and some of his personality and character to fit this story line (maybe I'll just change his name or something.. Nah)
Puck Runs Amuck: part 2
The being looked almost like a child until you gazed into its emerald eyes. It had seen centuries, probably more, and was probably older than any demon alive to date, but no one would ever know that by just glancing at him. His smile was a bit unsettling though, it appeared friendly enough but there was mischievousness behind it all. Large almond shaped eyes framed his small angular face, but his impish grin seemed to take up more room on his face than anything else. He was small in stature, but it was merely a clever deception, had anyone tried anything they would have been very shocked to see what this elf like creature could do. Platinum silver hair reached down to his knees with several shoulder length braids framing his face, his hair was decorated in gold rings and adorned in precious stones which seemed to come to life with there radiance. All these things didn't matter though, not to Inu Yasha anyways. All he wanted to know was, who the hell this kid thought he was playing with him like some damn puppet.
"Are you gonna sit there all day smiling or are you gonna put me down and tell me what's going on! While you're at it you can also tell me who you are, and can you keep him like that?" Inu Yasha asked while pointing a thumb at the now child demon floating next to him.
Sesshomaru turned an icy glare to his brother (which only made him look that much cuter), "Let's see how confident you are once I shove your insides so far up.."
*Ahem, you seem to be forgetting that the only way you're going anywhere is if I decide I want to let you," replied the stranger. "As for my name, hmm, I have many names. You mortals seem to have to name everything you come across. None of these names are what I am truly called, but I suppose if you must call me something, you may call me Puck."
Inu Yasha was not amused, "Puck eh, well Puck you mind putting me back on the ground; it makes kicking your ass that much easier. Say, how come everything is frozen?" he noticed a bird in the sky which wasn't going anywhere fast so this was making him even more suspicious. "And where's Kagome?"
Amusement was clearly evident on the newcomers face; " in time, but for now I must find a role for your friend to play. I hadn't counted on picking up a new toy, err, player for my little game."
Sesshomaru managed to pull off a vicious glare on his now chibi little face, "You will die for that just you wait. You better be able to hold me up here forever, because I promise you once you let your guard down I will personally make sure there won't be enough pieces to make out who you once were," snarled the pissed off chibi demon.
"*Sigh, what is it they call you, ah yes, Sesshomaru, you wear that form well. I've seen human children who are better behaved, maybe *giggle, I'll leave you like that. He ignored the panicky look Sesshomaru had begun to show and merely continued smiling as he addressed Inu Yasha, "as for your human friend she is quite well, merely frozen in time like the rest of this area."
Inu Yasha hadn't said anything at this point he was still trying to get over the surprise of what Puck had said earlier about his brother and him being friends, and was having a hard time forming any coherent comeback so everything he did say came out as a jumble of angry ramblings (he got tongue tied ^_^). He was relieved to hear that Kagome was alright, but he still wanted to see her, "that BASTARD is not my friend first off, and you say she's ok, but how do I know you haven't done anything to her!?"
Puck put on a feigned look of hurt at this comment, " why do you think I would harm her, I've done nothing to harm you. What makes you think I would do anything to her, don't you trust my word?"
Inu Yasha scoffed at that comment, "feh, tell me you're joking, and just what makes you think a little snap of your fingers and a few parlor tricks would make me trust you. Besides why should I believe anything you say at all. Just know that if any harm comes to her I..WILL..KILL..YOU."
"*Sigh, very well," with a snap of his fingers Kagome was instantly in front of them, a look of fear and profound sadness was etched on her tear stricken face. Inu Yasha seemed to withdraw for a moment upon seeing her, 'was she worried about me? Why would she even care though, I thought she would be happy to be rid of me, but then why the tears Kagome.'
Sesshomaru decided this would be a good time to find out what this baka wanted with the 3 of them, " so answer me this then, what is it you hope to gain from all this, or is this your twisted way of amusing yourself."
Puck slowly turned to the floating demon in front of him, a glint seemed to appear in his emerald green eyes, "why yes that's exactly right, you aren't as dim witted as I first thought." Inu yasha's eyes blazed red at this, "WHAT!!" Sesshomaru eyes seemed to take up more of his face than was normal.
"Didn't you hear? You have just entered my playing field, but don't worry I make sure my players have as much fun as I do. It can be quite fun you know, you should try it. Oh yes, let me explain the rules which by the way you'll have to relate this to your human friend there as I have a prior engagement I must attend to. I've always wondered how you mortals adapt when placed in strange situations and what would happen if I were to experiment with this theory, and now I have the perfect candidates to do so *snicker, you Inu Yasha will become human, I want you to learn to accept that half about yourself and then see if being full demon is what you really want. You Sesshomaru will remain in that form until you can learn to behave, your Kagome friend *he he, here's the twist, she will become what you have always craved Inu Yasha, a full demon. I have delved into her mind and know that this is what she fears most, losing you to that which you can't have. How sweet, so she will learn to see why it is you want this so much. If by chance you try to harm each other or abuse the privilege, which I am bestowing upon you I promise you will not enjoy the end result. That is all, when you finally learn to accept and accomplish this simple task, well, I can't let you know everything can I?
Sesshomaru was beginning regret ever leaving his castle this day."Why the HELL am I apart of this!! Why do I have be some pup! No matter, I will make you regret the day you were conceived. If you do not turn me back I will personally take your insides and feed them to you until I tire of your screams.
A dangerous gleam appeared on the face of their captor, "it is quite apparent you were never loved as a child only spoiled, you are as you see because you act like that which you scorn. I am hoping that maybe the warmth of this human girl can melt the ice around your cold heart. You actually were never apart of my plans I had something different in mind until you came along, but I never pass up a chance like this." He passed a sidelong glance at the girl still frozen in time, ' there is something about her, I don't know what it is, but I plan to find out.'
Slowly Inu Yasha felt the change taking place as Puck finished explaining his so called rules of the game, "I already know what it is to be human you JACK ASS, I turn into this pathetic form every F***ING month!!"
Puck's smile never wavered, " I know but you still don't see what it is that gives you strength in that form. If you haven't noticed demons do not seem to have much of a role in that human's future, ever wonder why?" He ignored the look he was getting and continued, "I can see what's in your mind, I know that you visit this girl in the future and that she is not of this time, but the demons you have fought in her time are a result of this jewel you seek being shattered here in this realm. Up until now she thought all this unreal. Humans as weak as they may be have lived on and have gone quite a ways, yet where are the demons. I say they are still caught up in the past, at least some of them, maybe they've realized what it is you still have to learn. Whatever the case maybe it is not my concern at the moment but this situation is, and I really must be going. I'm sure you'll do just fine. Have fun now."
There was a flash of light as Puck vanished from the area, "TURN ME BAAACK," wailed a hysterical chibi demon. With another flash they were suddenly engulfed in a strange light, which soon found them in Kagome's home.
Kagome blinked in confusion that quickly turned to surprise, "how'd I get here?" She noticed for the first time an unconscious Inu Yasha in human form lying near the foot of her bed next to him was a ball of white fluff, "no wait that's not who I think, no way, Sesshomaru?"
Both of them began to stir, as a mysterious voice seemed to bring them back, "be good mortals until then you may remain in Kagome's time, I wouldn't want anything happening while I was away, and you will be good just remember how permanent these forms can become unless you do, ciao."
"This is really weird, will someone please explain to me what's going on?" Kagome's eyes just got bigger and bigger as Inu Yasha related to her the events that had taken place, and for the first time noticed that she had.. a tail!! Amongst other things, she took a look in the mirror and saw deep violet eyes being reflected back toward her. Her hair was now much longer almost all the way down her back, it was still black but in the light it seemed to reflect blue because it was so dark. Her tail was just as black and twined around her new form like a protective wrap. Her ears were like Sesshomaru's but slightly less pointy, sharp fangs could be seen in the corners of her mouth. She had totally changed.
"Oh my gosh, what.. what happened.. to me?" Inu Yasha had been just as surprised at the change but hid it well, " feh, I told you he changed all 3 of us, you'd think with that your new senses you would of heard me the first time."
Sesshomaru could only stare at Kagome's new form, he never thought a human would make such an attractive demon, it was a shame she wasn't a true demon, then he remembered his new predicament and slowly began to fume, "who gives a damn, if anything you should be worrying about how we are to change back you idiots!! And where the hell are we?! Is this another spell of his."
Inu Yasha couldn't help but smile at the chibi demon's predicament, at least he would be able to fit in here in Kagome's world, but how do you explain a kid with a tail to Kagome's neighbors, "*snicker, were in Kagome's world baka don't you remember what that thing told us?" Kagome watched the exchange and was overcome with the urge to hug the kid sitting in front of her, but instead said, "you know this is actually pretty cool if you think about it, lucky thing my family is away enjoying their summer over at a family gathering for the next couple of weeks.
"Eh, you think this situation is cool, you must be joking. We don't even know how long we'll be in these forms." Kagome just shrugged her shoulders, " I'm really not worried, think about it, if we're still in these forms by the time my family returns we could always jump in the well, and figure something out there. Besides I'm beginning to like how I look in this form." 'Did she just say that, what was she thinking!' Strangely enough it didn't phase here for long, but something was bothering her about this, but before she could think about it further an overpowering stench attacked her improved sense of smell. "EEWWW, you guys stink, dried blood and sweat do NOT go together at all."
The look Sesshomaru gave Kagome was priceless; he looked so vulnerable staring up at her with those huge golden puppy dog eyes. It only lasted a few seconds though, "What the HELL are you staring at you stupid B****!! Don't come near me or I swear I'll tear your head from your shoulders!!"
The smirk Kagome gave him rivaled that of Inu Yasha's, " I would love to see you try anything Sess-chan, besides were in my time now you don't even know how to get back to your world. So, come on, bring it." 'Where is this attitude coming from can I actually do anything, he's usually the one threatening me, now it seems our roles are reversed, wow is this really me.'
Inu Yasha was surprised at this new attitude he was seeing, it was so unlike her he was beginning to like it and hate it at the same time. Where was the Kagome he was always fighting to protect, the Kagome he had begun to.. ' Where the hell did that come from its not like I care whether she's demon or not, so then how come I can't stop thinking about it.'
Kagome waved a hand in front of Inu Yasha's eyes, " hello, you there." "Huh, what is it?" Kagome began swishing her new tail in annoyance, " you blanked out there for a minute, and can you go start the bath I have to go get Sesshomaru here some clothes from Sota's room and something for you to."
"Since when do I have to do your bidding! And bathing together, you're starting to sound like Miroku." Kagome let out an exasperated sigh, "Inu Yasha bathing suits, hello." Inu Yasha's face had begun to blush in embarrassment and poor Sesshomaru was speechless until she mentioned bath again, "I refuse to bathe with you inferior creatures, touch me and die!"
Kagome merely shook her head as she dragged him by the
scruff to the bathroom while he clawed the ground frantically. Inu Yasha
merely gawked at the scene before him. Right now he felt being human wasn't
so bad compared to what his brother was about to go through. He was really
glad that he wasn't on Kagome's bad side at the moment as he turned to
follow.
A/N: ack, I confused myself a bit, but I think it'll be ok. Wow,
this was a really long chapter for me. In the next chapter you're going
to learn why exactly Puck chose to place them all in Kagome's time and
why he had to leave. Seems even the higher ups to answer to someone..well,
I'm not going to spoil it to much, you'll just have to keep reading to
find out. I hope you liked it let me know if I screwed this up ok?
