Azusa skipped happily out of the forest. Soon, she and Etienne would be free. She would tell him all about how cute he was and how cute she was as well. Her happy imagining was interrupted however, by a boy in bright red clothing landing in front of her. For a second they stared at each other, Azusa taking in the gently twitching ears, the long silky hair while Inu Yasha was sizing her up and wondering what her special powers were. He was soon to find out.
"SO CUTE!" she screamed out and threw herself into his arms. Inuyasha found himself down on the ground in what suspiciously resembled a headlock. Shippo had fallen off him and landed in a heap a little to the side.
"Get off me you stupid human!" The little girl gave him a disapproving look.
"Now, now Jacques. We have to be nice. If you're good than later we can even sing songs and I can comb your hair." Inuyasha attempted to get out of her hold, but found her grip stronger than the most determined youkai.
"I do not sing, damn you!" It was futile. He gave up struggling for the moment and watched the rest of their group approach. Sango held her boomerang at ready, while Miroku looked like he would un-wrap his prayer beads from around his hand at any moment. Kagome had her bow with her, but had it slung over her back. "Stupid girl," he thought and resumed his struggle to get free. He managed to move around a little, but Sesshoumaru's tail was in his face now and he felt ready to sneeze. It smelled like herbs and flowers. Just what did Sesshoumaru wash it in anyway?
"Let him go," said Miroku in an authoritive voice.
"And Sesshoumaru too," said Kagome. Inuyasha would have glared at her, but his brother's fluff was blocking his view.
"Etienne and Jacques are mine. I'm going to take care of them and love them forever." She squeezed extra hard on Inu Yasha's neck to prove her point and he almost lost consciousness.
"We will fight you for them," said Miroku, his voice only slightly less confident than before. "You cannot stand against us all." Azusa frowned at them.
"But they love me. Right, Etienne? Right, Jacques?"
"I hate you!" spat out Inuyasha and felt her grip lessen slightly at his rejection. Now was his chance. If they were going to defeat this monster in the form of a girl, they would need all the help they could get. Pushing him self as far forward as he could get, Inuyasha took a large mouth full of hair and flesh, and bit down. For a second he thought it hadn't worked, but then the tail stiffened under him, pulling him out of the girl startled grip and into the air. He landed with a thud, and sat up to see the wind picking up and swirling around one very annoyed youkai lord.
