YAY! I'm sick today! That means that I can type this up! WHOHOO! NO HOMEWORK! *cough* Argh, but my voice sounds like I breathed in a bunch of helium! I hate having a sore throat! *sigh* I guess that's my punishment for getting out of school... It seems that whenever I'm sick I miss something really important or I have the worst day. I would just like a moment to say this: Kenshin and Ashitaka rock! *cough* Okay, now that I have THAT outta my system, on to the Disclaimer and Review Responses! Also, there will be mention of a certain cursed springs here. Bet you can guess from where! Oh, and this chapter will mainly concern just Utsushineko and Tsuki. *snicker* WARNING: You know those little chocolate eggs filled with caramel that you can get at Easter? Yeah, well, I just ate about fifty of those.
Disclaimer: *door bell rings* Who is it? *guy outside says that he has a package for me* Goody! *starts to open the package that the guy left for her* Hey! It says that I should not open this unless I own Inuyasha. *shrugs* Oh well. *goes back to opening package* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *a lawyer has just popped out of the package* HOLY S***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *lawyer looks pointedly at me* Lawyer: You do not own Inuyasha. I'm gonna have to sue you. Erica: *looks worried* You're right, I don't own Inuyasha, and so you can't sue me. Lawyer: *disappears in a ball of flames* *Erica watches as he turns to ashes* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I HATE LAWYERS! THEY'RE FREAKS! *pouts and stomps on the lawyer's ashes* TAKE THAT! *gives the ashes one final stomp before moving on to the Review Responses*
Review Responses:
Holy-Psychic-Vulpix: Okay, now you're scaring me.
SenshiofSilence: Aw, ya don't want Shamoo? Darn. *mutters* Now how am I gonna get rid of him?!
Tannim Mayonaka: Yeah, I thought that when Miroku shouted "Go Inuyasha" was pretty funny too!
shadowspinner: You're right. Many things don't change. Teachers' tempers are one of them. I was working on this story yesterday in gym, cause it was a free day, and my P.E. teacher came up and asked me what I was doing writing when I was supposed to be doing 'physical exercise'. I told him that it was a free day, so I could do whatever I wanted. Then he gave me a lecture on why I should be doing other stuff instead of writing. During the whole lecture, he referred to himself in the third person. I asked him why he kept referring to himself in the third person; an innocent question, don't you think? Well, then he got angry and made me run a mile around the track! *grumbles* It was just a question...
AoiTsuki: *looks innocent* *coughs nervously* Well.....Um....You gave me a good idea for the story at least....You might not like me anymore once you read this chapter's title.....
Sailor Saturn: Ew. I would NEVER make a lemon! *shudders* So you don't have to worry about that!
Hanamaru285: *grumbles* I hate my teachers. If they would just let me write in class, I could get these chapters up a whole lot sooner! I only have an hour a day to myself for writing!
Jack: Thanks! It's okay that you can't give a funny review. *looks proud* Not all of us have what it takes to make a funny review. *Brat shows up and whacks her in the head* Brat: Hey Miss High and Mighty, you couldn't give a funny review if you tried! The only things that make it funny are me and D.g.! Erica: What the hell are you doing here?! Brat: Duh. We live in the same house with all the rest of our family. Baka. Erica: Grrrr....Why do I have to have cousins like you and D.g.?!
Sakura-chan88: Utsushineko didn't kill Miroku because Kagome was there, and she stopped her from bashing him into a pulp. And yes, I did see that one episode. I have it on tape. YAY FOR ME! Oh, and don't fall out of your chair laughing anymore. I wouldn't want one of my reviewers to get detention and flame me for it. It happened once before.
Also, for any of you reading this, I have one question. Ya see, I'm stuck here in America with no money to buy imported subtitles of Inuyasha (I only get them on Christmas and my B-day) and I was wondering, does ANYBODY out there know how the series ends?! I'm going crazy wondering! Just a simple 'happy ending' or 'sad ending' would be a good enough answer for me! PLEASE TELL ME! *runs around in circles from the suspense* Okay, now that I got that out, on to the story! (AoiTsuki, please don't hurt me for this chapter! *begs on two knees*)
Kitten Caboodle
Chapter 7: A Feudal Catfight
"So, you're going on another shard hunt?" asked Utsushineko.
"Yes," said Kagome, "but I need you to do me a favor while I'm gone. You see, my new kitten followed me to this era, and instead of taking him with us, or leaving him alone at my house, I thought that maybe you could watch him for me?"
Utsushineko waved her clawed hand nonchalantly, "No problem. I still owe you for saving my life from that huge snake demon."
"Oh thank you!" exclaimed Kagome.
"By the way, there's something I want to talk to you about," Utsushineko said, looking at Kagome, "ALONE." She looked pointedly at the others. All of them took the hint, except for Inuyasha, and left. Both girls glared at him and he finally got the message. After he too was gone, Utsushineko turned back to Kagome. "So, was that the hanyou you were crying your eyes out over?"
Kagome nodded, smiling happily.
"You don't look too sad anymore, did something happen?" Again Kagome nodded. "Good, because he is HOT. I'm glad you two finally got together. By the way, what is with that monk?!"
"Lecherousness runs in his family," Kagome explained, "I'm just glad he hasn't asked you 'the question' yet."
"What question?" asked Utsushineko as she cocked her head curiously.
"Nothing, nothing," Kagome mumbled. Deciding to change to a new subject, she asked, "So, have you gotten rid of the curse yet?"
"Nope," she replied, frowning, "I can't find a cure for it. Now I have another reason to hate rain..."
"Oh well," said Kagome as she smiled. She then noticed that the afternoon was getting late. "We should get going now if we want to find the shard while there's still daylight. It's far off to the west. I want to get to the general area before dark," she turned back to Utsushineko, "We'll probably be back in a day or two." They both got up. Kagome picked up Tsuki from where he was resting on a cushioned chair and said, "You be good while I'm gone." She kissed him on his furry little forehead and put him back down. She walked out of the house toward where her companions were waiting.
Utsushineko followed her out to say goodbye to all of them. Once they were done with all the 'see you laters' and 'we'll be back soons', Miroku sidled over to her side. Stepping in front of Utsushineko, he looked her straight in the eye. In a tone of all seriousness, he asked, "Lady Utsushineko, will you bare my child?" She just stared at him for a minute, then her brain finally registered what he had said. Also the fact that his hand was where it shouldn't be.
"DIE HENTAI!" she yelled as she pounced on him, her eyes flashing angrily as she started to beat him to within an inch of his life. Kagome and Sango managed to pull her off of him. Getting up, he looked ready to bolt out of there. His head had a nasty cut on it, and his whole face was bruised. As the group left, Kagome and Sango could not help but snicker at his misfortune.
With one final wave at the group's retreating backs, Utsushineko walked back into the house where a certain little kitten waited for her. She quickly spotted him lounging on the same chair Kagome had been sitting in. She sat down opposite him. "Well, I guess it's just us now." If she hadn't been looking away, she would've seen the evil smirk that alighted the young kitten's face. (A/N: *coughs nervously* AoiTsuki, please forgive me for this next part...*edges away from the suspicious reader*)
She got up and started to walk away. He got up and followed her. She looked at him curiously. "Are you hungry Tsuki? I can make you some cat food if you want." As she was going off to prepare them both lunch, she felt a painful tug on her long blue tail. Whirling around, she found that Tsuki had latched his claws into her tail, and was playing with it rather roughly. "Ouch, stop that!" She cried, wincing as his claws dug deeper into her sensitive tail. "That hurts!" She pulled him off and set him back down on the ground, curling her tail up over her shoulder to where he couldn't reach it. She felt a prick on her leg and looked down to find him clawing his way up towards her shoulder. "LET GO!" She pulled him off again and set him on a high cabinet that was in the kitchen. "HA! Now you can't go anywhere!" She smirked triumphantly as she walked away, but the grin faded as she felt something heavy land on top of her head. "Owowowowowowowowowowowowow!" she yelled as she felt Tsuki start to chew on her ears. She desperately pulled him off and set him on the cabinet once more, careful to get out of jumping range. She had a bad feeling about this kitten. The little kit glared at her from his high perch as she started to build a cage made out of pieces of furniture. Once she was sure that it was adequate enough to hold the little monster, she dropped him in. "And stay in there!" she scolded as she began to regret ever having agreed to this. "Kagome is in for an earful when she comes back," the angry hanyou muttered as she marched over to the other side of the room opposite Tsuki.
Sparing a quick glance over her shoulder, she was surprised to find that he had somehow gotten out, and now sat calmly on the floor, staring at her with those bright golden eyes of his. "Eep!" She REALLY didn't like this. Then to further her fright, she heard him chuckle. "GHAAAA!!!!!!!! IT'S POSSESSED!" she screamed as she ran out of the house. This was too much for her to handle!
Looking back, she spotted a distinct white form following her out the open door. "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! KAMI SAVE ME!" she ran faster as the seemingly possessed kitten gained on her. "AHHHH!!! SOMEBODY HELP!!"
******************************************
Sesshoumaru could hear lots of yelling coming toward where he and his little band of groupies were resting. He sighed as he rubbed his temples. He already had a headache from listening to all of Rin's yelling after Jaken stepped on a flower she was going to pick. It was just a flower, yet she still made so much fuss over it! In the end, he had to threaten Rin and pummel Jaken to get them both to shut up. Why did he ever agree for the little human girl to come with him?! And now all this screaming was worsening his already irate mood.
He growled as the yelling drew nearer, and decided that he was going to smite whoever was causing that racket! Jaken stood up from where he had been sitting and nursing his injuries. Rin watched in awe as Sesshoumaru pulled out his whip-like lightsabor (A/N: Hey, can you blame me? I just watched Star Wars Episode 2! I've got Jedais on the mind. ^_^)
"Wow Fluffy! Are you gonna fight the person that is making all that noise? Can Rin help? Who is that person? Why are they yelling? How do you make your weapon appear like that? Are you ever gonna kill Jaken?" were some of the questions Rin asked as she looked at her idol.
"Don't call me Fluffy. And yes, I'm going to fight. No, you cannot help. I don't know who the person is or why they're yelling. My demonic powers can make my whip appear. And maybe I will kill Jaken." As you can tell, he was used to answering all her questions. Jaken gulped at his last answer.
"I'm not gonna live much longer..." Jaken muttered just as the screaming person came into view. It looked to be a demon with bright blue hair, blue clothes, and what looked like blue eyes, but he couldn't really tell from this distance. (A/N: *Music starts playing in the background* I'm blue da boo de da boo di, da boo de da boo di, da boo de da boo di, da boo de da boo di, da boo de da boo di! ^_^ I love that song!)
"Is it one of the Smurf demons?" asked Jaken to his lord.
"No, she is much to tall to be a Smurf demon. And she does not have the blue skin common to their race. (A/N: Couldn't help but put that in there. ^_^) I believe that she is a neko."
He watched as the alleged neko-hanyou ran straight towards them, still screaming.
"IT'S POSSESSED!" she yelled. Sesshoumaru ignored her and prepared to kill her when she suddenly jumped into his arms.
"SAVE ME!" she yelled again, clinging to him for all she was worth. He tried to pry her off to no avail. Sighing in defeat, he looked to the direction she had come from, but all he spotted was a pure white kitten with golden eyes running towards them. His cocked an eyebrow at this. Was that little kitten the thing that was causing the girl in his arms to be so afraid? He looked down at her face which was hidden in his kimono. She was mumbling incoherently about kittens and evil things. He looked back to where the kitten should have been, but instead found that it had disappeared.
"My lord," cried Jaken as the toad stepped back in surprise, "It is on you my lord!" Sesshoumaru didn't know what to make of this until he felt a painful sting coming from his tail. Looking to his right shoulder to where his tail hung over, he was surprised to find that the kitten had climbed up on him without warning and had decided to play with his tail by clawing and biting at it.
"I will kill you," was all he said before he slashed at the kitten, which jumped off before the blow ever came. On the ground in front them it sat, smirking at them. Sesshoumaru was about to decimate the evil creature when it suddenly started to laugh. He stepped back in surprise at the low, throaty sound the kitten made as it stared at him with its unblinking gaze. Jaken and Rin hid behind Sesshoumaru in fright. The thing started to advance toward them, its eyes never leaving Sesshoumaru's gaze. Involuntarily, Sesshoumaru stepped back as the kitten started to grow bigger, its claws lengthening, and its body changing. This wasn't right! It was a kitten! Not a demon! The girl, still in his arms, let out a muffled scream of fright. The kitten continued growing. Sesshoumaru attacked the 'kitten' with his whip, but it didn't even affect the gigantic cat! He decided that they should get out of there while they could, and created a cloud-thingy for them to fly off in. Rin and Jaken still clutched at his robes, and the girl's hold hadn't lessened any. He sighed. This wasn't a very good day. Looking behind him, he was frightened to find the 'kitten' giving chase. Oh good. Now it could fly. It couldn't get any worse! It started to rain. It just got worse. He looked down as the girl in his arms suddenly gave a startled yip when the first droplets of rain hit them. Hs eyes widened in surprise. What he thought was a neko-hanyou had suddenly changed into an inu-hanyou! She shivered and looked up at him.
"Um, hi?" She gave a weak smile. "I told you it was possessed." And with that she fainted.
He sighed for the third time that day. Great. Now he had a transforming neko-hanyou stuck to him and a giant, flying, possessed kitten following him, and it was impervious to all of his attacks. What did he do to deserve this?!

Well, I had to say that I enjoyed writing this chapter! Oh, and sorry that I didn't get this chapter uploaded yesterday; my computer was bugging on me! Please don't flame me too bad! Also, for those of you who haven't, read Becky Tailweaver's "The White Dog", it's a great story! But, she hasn't updated for a long time, and I think that if she got a lot of reviews she would put the next chapter up! Well, until next time, Ja ne! *runs away before the angry AoiTsuki and readers could catch up to her*
