"Inu Yasha!" Sashimi called. She was looking around for him. He was in the clearing before the sun set, where did he go?
He was hiding in a place under uplifted tree roots. Suddenly, Shio's upside down face appeared from on top of the tree roots. "Hey, man! Why are you hiding?"
"Shhhh!" Inu Yasha said. He had a kimono over his head. "Go away Shio! She'll find me!"
Shio climbed in and sat next to him. "Why are you hiding?"
Inu Yasha sighed and pulled the blanket off of his head to reveal long black hair and a set of human ears.
"Yikes." Shio said.
"Right, she told me that when I turn into my human form, she'll put me under special training." Inu Yasha said.
"Like what kind of special training?" Shio asked.
"I don't know, but I didn't like the way she said it then. She's going to make me look stupid in front of Sesshomaru." Inu Yasha said.
Shio tilted his head at him and asked, "Don't you already look stupid to him?"
"Good point." Inu Yasha said. "I just don't want her to see me like this."
"Why?" Shio asked.
"I don't know." Inu Yasha sat looking away.
Shio smiled slyly. "Do you like my sister?"
"No!" the response came way to quick and obvious.
"Yes you do." Shio sat there smiling. "You want to have the birds and the bees with her."
"NO I DON'T!!"
"Inu Yasha?" Sashimi appeared next to the tree. "What are you hiding under there for? We got training to do!"
"Thanks, Shio." Inu Yasha said as she pulled him out. For a skinny sixteen year old girl, she was pretty strong.
She looked at his hair and smiled. "Well look at that! You're human!" ^_^
He sighed and she grabbed his hand. "Training time!" she pulled him over to the clearing and Sesshomaru was there drinking some tea that she had probably made for him. He saw Inu Yasha and grinned interestedly. "Hello Inu Yasha! You don't look so good!"
Inu Yasha gave him the finger and he got wacked upside the head by Sashimi. He turned to glare at her and she waved a finger at him. "Now I'll have none of that!" she said. She sat him on the ground then sat in front of him. "Now, I'm sure you've had many ways of surviving the new moon in the past, I'll just give you a few pointers." She rubbed her hands together and got out a map of Japan. She pointed out to him what kinds of demons populated which parts and certain weaknesses.
"For instance, if you are here during your time of the month." She pointed to a spot on the map. "The scorpion demons live here. As long as you can stay somewhere out of their sight and away from their breeding grounds, you'll be just peachy!"
She actually showed him some survival strategies that he had never even dreamed of. Maybe this was good training for him!
Just when the maps were finished and he thought he was home free, she stood up and said, "Okay, take off your clothes."
He looked at her like she had just turned into Volvok the man-bat. "WHAT?!" he blushed deeply.
Sesshomaru looked up shocked.
She looked at him dead serious. "You heard me, strip!"
Inu Yasha blushed and looked around hesitantly. Sesshomaru was giving him a death glare from behind his teacup. Shio was off swinging a bamboo staff around listening to the cool WOOSH sound it was making.
"What's the matter? You need help?" she asked.
"No, no! I'm fine!" he said waving at her. He started to open his red haori, he stopped to look up at her and blush. She was staring at him!
He removed both shirts and pants, then he was about to take off his feudal style underwear, but she said, "Well you don't have to take that off, unless you want to."
So he left it alone.
"Alright." She said. Sashimi started to circle him. Inu Yasha closed his eyes feeling like he was completely nude.
"Imagine this," she said. "It's the new moon and you are alone in a demon infested forest with little more then your human strength and your wisdom."
(AN: Well then, he would't have a chance, would he?)
She stopped in front of him and saw his closed eyes. "Look at me." She said. He opened his eyes. She spun around and walked over to a tree. She looked over at Shio. He swung the bamboo stick and hit himself in the knee on accident. "Ah, crap!" he said falling and grabbing his throbbing leg.
"Shio!" she said. "Get over here and stop acting so predictable!"
He stood up and hopped over on one foot. "Whadya want?" he asked.
She whispered something in his wolfy little brownish red ear and he nodded. He set his foot down and reached into his kimono. He pulled out a small green leaf and set it on his head. He was enveloped in blue fire then when it cleared, a leopard stood where he was.
"Unbelieveable!" Inu Yasha said.
Sesshomaru made an annoyed sound and took another drink of his tea.
"Okay, Inu Yasha," Sashimi turned back to him. "You are going to beat this leopard demon using your training. Now remember elusive techniques and anything around you can be used as a weapon." She went over and stood next to Sesshomaru. "Ready?"
Shio the leopard stamped the ground with his front feet and said in Shio's voice, "Rar, rar, grr!"
Inu Yasha sweatdropped and shook his head, no.
"Good!" she said. She waved her hand. "You may attack each other!"
Shio acted immeadiately, jumping in a zigzag toward him at super speed and strength and leapt at Inu Yasha knocking him off of his feet. He grabbed a stick from behind him and held it against the leopard Shio's neck. Shio nipped at him, trying to bite him. Inu Yasha struggled to hold him back then shouted and threw him off. Shio immediately tried to leap at him again. Inu Yasha dodged with a side roll and started jumping up a tree. Shio leapt after him. They weren't visable but Sesshomaru and Sashimi could hear and see the leaves stirring around and they heard Shio growling. Then all of a sudden they both fell out of the tree. Shio ontop of Inu Yasha and bodyslammed the poor hanyo into the ground. Inu Yasha gasped and got the air knocked out of him. Shio raised his claws but his sister called, "Shio!"
He looked up at her and knew that this was his queue to stop. He got off and changed back into his regular self.
Inu Yasha gasped for air and looked up at the gradually lightening sky weakly. He felt his demon powers returning. Sashimi came into his view, smiling brightly. "Good work for your first try! You may put your clothes back on now!" ^_^
She walked away and Shio stood over him sweatdropping. "Uh, sorry!" ^^;;;
Sesshomaru grinned evilly at Inu Yasha and set his cup down.
Inu Yasha looked up at the sky and said, "Ouch."
************************************************************* Ah, I love to pick on him! ^_^
There is a lot of stuff to come, I have actually drawn a picture of younger Shio and Sashimi if anyone wants to see that.
