Chapter 2: The Beastly Inuyasha

As Zhouji and her horse rode out into the forest, she could sense wolf youkai all around her, but she just smiled and patted the horse's head. "Keep walking, Yakul (I'm gonna name him that after Ashitaka's gazelle thingy from Mononoke-Hime)." She told him, inferring that he sensed the youkai as well. About an hour into the forest, Zhouji realized that she no longer recognized the scenery. She began examining the map a little, only to find out that they were lost in the depths of the forest, and that now, more than ever, she could sense the wolf youkai eyeing them. "Alright, well, Yakul... I guess we'll take a right." She told the horse. Yakul, whom obviously disagreed with this choice, gave a "Naaayyy!" and began galloping towards the left.

"Yakul! Stoppit! Turn around, *this instant*, and take us right!" Zhouji yelled, pulling the reins. Yakul let out a soft, "Nay..." but reluctantly followed the woman's orders. Yakul and Zhouji rode a little to the right until they found themselves at the edge of a huge cliff. "Oh... Yakul, where have you led us?!" Kagome's mother demanded. Yakul gave Zhouji another soft, "Nay," causing the woman to look down at the horse. "What is it, Yakul?" She asked him gently. Yakul's eyes grew wide as he stared out into the forest, so Zhouji slowly shifted her gaze to follow his, and sure enough, there was a pack of wolf demons standing right there in the way. "Grrrrr..." The leader growled fiercely, charging at Yakul and Zhouji, quickly followed by the rest of the clan. "Oh, Kami-sama!" Zhouji screamed and Yakul bellowed and ran off, leaving the woman in the center of the wolves, alone.

Zhouji let out another scream, piercing the wolves' ears long enough for her to run past them, desperately in search of a place where she could escape them. Luckily, not far down the left path, there was a huge castle, and the gate was open. Zhouji flung herself within the gate, hastily slamming it before the youkai could get inside, too. She fell to the ground for a moment, then raised herself up and rushed to castle door. "Please, someone! Let me in!" She cried, hitting the door with all her might. Then, much to her surprise, the door creaked open. Zhouji stood dumbfounded for a minute, then she slowly entered the castle, not realizing her cloak had fallen on the ground outside.

"Hello? Is there anyone here? Please... I got lost in the woods... and I need a place to stay for the night. Is someone there?" Zhouji echoed into the castle as she wondered about the first floor.

"Hey, that's Kagome-sama's okaa-san!" A man gone chandelier (I'M CALLING IT A CHANDELIER!!! ...Any idea what he really is though? ^^;; ) named Miroku cried, seeing the woman walk by. A woman turned clock named Sango slapped Miroku. "Shut up! You're supposed to pretend you don't know her for the fanfic, you moron!" She yelled at him. Miroku sweat dropped. "Oh, sorry..." Sango shook her head and muttered something inaudible.

"Anyways... Look, Sango! That poor woman is soaked to the bone. She said she was lost in the woods and needs a place to stay." Miroku said after he cleared his throat. Sango shook her head. "Oh, well. She can stay somewhere else because if the Master finds out that we allowed someone in the cast-" Sango trailed off and frowned, realizing that Miroku wasn't listening. The intruder walked by the table that the pair was sitting on and picked the monk up to use for light.

"Hello? Is there anyone here?" Zhouji cried out again. "Yes, my *dear* lady, I'm right here..." Miroku said, tapping her shoulder. Zhouji turned around, unknowing that it was the candlestick holder speaking. "Where?" She asked. The pervert tapped her on the shoulder again, and this time she noticed. "Kobanwa." The chandelier said simply. "Kami-sama!" Zhouji screamed, dropping him.

"You idiot! I told you to act like a normal chandelier, but noooooooo... You just *had* to go and speak didn't you? Didn't you?!" Sango demanded, pointing at the monk accusingly. Zhouji stared at the clock. "Oh, dear! How strange... you speak! How is this accomplished?" Kagome's mother asked out loud. "Ma'am, you're soaked. . . come with me, and we'll warm you up with the fire... And I can help, if necessary." Miroku told Zhouji, beginning to walk into another room. Sango smacked him in the back of the head and murmured "pervert" as he began to lead Kagome's mother down a hallway.

"No! No! *NO*!" Sango yelled after them. Once the clock had reached the next room however, Zhouji was already sitting in a huge chair, covered in a blanket. "Oh, no! Not the Master's chair... Hoshi-sama! The Master will have our *heads* for this!!" Miroku shook his head. "Feh. Forget the Master for just a little while, ne, Sango-sama?" Then he turned around so he faced the kitchen and he yelled. "Kaede! Bring some tea for this lovely lady!" In only a second, a tray zoomed out of the kitchen with a teapot and cup on it. "Hello, madam. I am Kaede. Would you like a spot of tea?" The teapot asked the shivering woman. Zhouji nodded. "Yes, please." She replied. Kaede poured some tea from her spout into the cup. Zhouji smiled and lifted the cup to her lips, about to drink, when the cup grinned at her. "Hi, mom! I'm a tea cup!" Zhouji's eyes grew wide. "Sota?! You were casted to play Chip the Tea Cup?!" She exclaimed.

Suddenly a voice came from above, and it sounded like Shi-chan. "Shut up! You're not supposed to know each other!"

Everyone sweat dropped, and then continued on with the story. "Okay, okay! She's had the tea! Now get her out of here before the Master finds her..." Sango said. But before anyone could reply, a howl was heard and a large shadowed figure dashed into the room. "Huh? Nani..." Zhouji trailed off, seeing Inuyasha in front of her. "Who are you?! What are you doing here?!" The once hanyou demanded. "I was, ah, lost in the forest, and youkai chased me and then I found..." Her voice cut off sharply, as she realized this couldn't be too good. "You're not welcome here!!" Inuyasha screamed. "But I only needed a place to stay for the night!" Zhouji protested. Inuyasha grabbed her by the collar. "I'll give you a place to stay! IN THE DUNGEON!" He yelled, dragging her upstairs and throwing her into a dungeon cell.

"I told you! I told you! What did I tell you? The Master would find out, and things would go *horribly*! I told you! Kami, Hoshi-sama! Will you ever learn to listen to something other than that stupid hand of yours in which *accidentally* touches females?!" Sango demanded, shaking her head. Miroku sighed. "Feh... I wish the Master would control his temper..."

That's the end of this chapter. ^_^
