*glares at the readers* I hate you....I didn't ACTUALLY expect to get more than ten reviews on the last chappie.....*sigh* But a deal's a deal, and I guess that I will make this chappie really long. At least fifteen pages. Also, for those of you who would like, I have drawn some pictures of my two friends (D.g. and Brat) and am willing to send them out to anyone who asks. I turned them into anime characters!! LOL! For those of you who DO want them, tell me on a scale of ten how good they are. If you like the way I draw, I'll be glad to draw you as an anime character! Just send the request in an e-mail, with all the description you can say. If you like it, then hey! Somebody likes the way I draw! If you don't like it then I'll find some way to make it up to you. Okay? Good. Glad I got that off my mind. IT PLAGUES ME!! Also, AoiTsuki has kindly asked me to ask you WHY exactly you want an Utsushineko/Sesshoumaru romance. Tell all in your review! Also, this chappie will be a little dramatic, but it will soon lighten up as you read on! Okay, on to the Disclaimer and Review Responses.
Disclaimer: I'm getting REALLY tired of these....
Review Responses:
Hanamaru285: Funny yes. Continuing.
Holy-Psychic-Vulpix: Yep. I'm gonna fit that fat cat in the scanner even if I have to run over it with a steamroller.
mkitty-chan: You know what? You may actually be reading this forever. Cause I have NO idea on how to end it. Or even what happens next. *sweatdrop* Glad that you think that it is funny though.
Jack: Yessss.....evil...MUAHAHAHHAHA!!! *stops her insane laughing* YOU HAD BETTER UPDATE YOUR FIC MISTER!! BRAT'S DRIVING ME UP THE WALLS WITH HER CRYING!! NOW FINISH READING THIS AND HOP TO IT!! *Brat pops in*

Erica: *sweatdrop* Wow. I had no idea that she would get that angry....
Loselen Snowstar: Thank you. And there goes another vote for the Sesshy/Neko pairing. GOODY!!
Sailor Saturn: Yes, D.g. IS going to post another fic starting MAYBE tomorrow. I think. Uh...And that's a good thing? *mumbles* May Kami have mercy on the Inu-tachi's poor souls....the torture they will endure....I heard her muttering something about 'Disneyland' and 'talking rats'. *shudder*
Queenizzay: Yes. The cat is evil. And I got the idea for how Utsushineko changes from Ranma 1/2! I LOVE THAT SHOW!!!
watersong: Yes. You DO have a thing for deranged cats. And now, things are gonna get even weirder. I'm thinking about involving reincarnation in this chappie, but I'm not sure....Do you think that Sesshy should be reincarnated as a cat????? THE cat I mean.
Sakura-chan88: *sweatdrop* We have no real intention of being funny. It just happens. I type my sentence, then I get booted over by either Brat or D.g., and they type their response. It turns out really funny. I reread ours, and I always snicker at some of the parts.
AoiTsuki: Of COURSE I'm gonna kill off those three. It wouldn't be a good fic if I didn't'!! And the reason I want this to be a Sesshy/Neko fic? Because 1) you already like him and 2) because it would be an interesting plot development!! (I borrowed that word from Yumigurl....Look Mommy! I learned another BIG word!)
SenshiofSilence: I hate you for reminding me about my promise. Oh, and curiosity killed more than the cat. It killed the dog too. And the chicken. Yeah, I know that I'm being weird.
Cat Silver: What can I say? The Smurfs make really good demons! And no, that cat ISN'T you, sorry. That would be just too weird. The cat's a BOY you know. Oh, and Inuyasha's gonna have to do MORE than ask Kouga for help! *cackles*
Yumigurl: Nope, ya didn't spell it right. Kouga is spelled Kouga, not Koga. (if that makes sense) And yes, everybody will meet up with were-kitty sooner or later. *snicker* Oh, and if you want Kouga for a boyfriend, I heard that he's currently available in another fic. *watches as Yumi runs off* That was easy....
Shadow_Fox: Thanks for the quotes!!!
Jenna aka Kitty: THANK YOU SO VERY MUCHIES!!!
QOD:
As quoted by Inuyasha, "Hey Shippo, your village is calling you; they're looking for their idiot." Submitted by Shadow_Fox.
As quoted by Miroku, "Will you bare me a child?" Submitted by Shadow_Fox.
For those of you who want to send in quotes, they don't even have to be actually said by the characters! You can take a common quote and apply it to one. For example: As quoted by Inuyasha, "Give me ramen, or give me death." See? He never actually said that, but it sure would work for him! Okay, enough of my ramblings, on to the story!!
Kitten Caboodle
Chapter 9: That is One EVIL Cat!!
This must be the WORST day he had ever experienced in his life. Here he was, tied up, weak from poison, with a psychotic transforming hanyou looming over him. Rin was giggling from behind her, and Jaken was currently unavailable at the moment. He was still knocked out from the blows delivered to him by the hanyou, and was therefore of no help to him. Why me?! He screamed in his mind as he saw a wicked grin come onto the hanyou's face.
"Okay Sesshoumaru, this is gonna hurt a bit," she said in a tone that sounded a lot like what doctors sound like. He knew that it wouldn't hurt 'just a little bit', but a whole lot! She had NO RIGHT to treat him this way, and he made his feelings known by growling at her through the bandanna that was acting as a gag for him.
"Aw, Sesshy-sama, it'll be alright," Utsushineko cooed, "This'll be over in a minute!"
He growled even harder at her. "Mmph murf muphumph!" was all he could make out through the bandanna.
"Eh?" the evil hanyou asked, cocking an ear as she giggled insanely, "I'm sorry, could you repeat that?"
He bit down as hard as he could, and managed to break the binding on his mouth, "I said, GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME YOU FREAK!!" He yelled, his anger showing through again.
"Now, that's no way to talk to a lady!" she scolded playfully.
"What lady? I don't see a lady!" he shouted in rebuke. "In fact, all I see is a worthless hanyou who doesn't know her place in society!!" Uh-oh! THAT made her angry.
"Why you low-down dirty dog! How DARE you insult me like that!" she shouted back, her eyes flashing angrily as she advanced upon him, "If you say EVEN ONE MORE WORD to me than I'll kill you! I can make that rope tighten around you so hard that you'll suffocate! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?! HUH?! ANSWER ME!!"
He just stared at her in shock. How was he supposed to know that what he said would strike a nerve?! It was the truth!
"Why are you getting so worked up over that one insult?" he voiced his thoughts.
"I don't expect a DOG like you to understand!" she screamed as her tail fluffed out again, "No, mister high and mighty, you would never know about what I had to go through!! You would never be able to understand!! YOU MUTT!" and with that she slapped him. Hard.
His cheek stung from the impact as he looked at her, flustered, as she stood over him , breathing heavily and with unshed tears in her eyes. She sniffed and stalked over to the other side of the room, staring stonily at the wall as if it held the secrets of the universe. He didn't get it! One minute she was Miss Happy-Go-Lucky, another she was pure evil incarnate, and now she was getting upset over a simple insult!
Rin looked at the two of them frightfully, and then decided that she should go try and wake Jaken up. It would be dangerous for her to talk to either of them right now. She had a sense of terror that all children feel when their parents argue. She didn't want them to be angry at each other! But there was nothing she could do about it. She sighed as she poked at Jaken, not really expecting him to wake up. She stole glances at the two from her position. Sesshoumaru-sama looked just plain shocked, and Utsushineko-chan looked downcast and forlorn, lost in thought, as if she was reliving some terrible memory. Rin sniffed as she felt tears well up in her eyes, she didn't like what was happening to the two! Neither of them was speaking, and she felt so helpless in this situation that she had no idea what to do. She just sat there and cried silently, still poking at Jaken as her tears fell upon the wooden floor of the house. Behind the door, it had gone eerily quiet. She saw that both Sesshoumaru and Utsushineko had fallen asleep, and so decided to investigate and see what had caused the kitty behind the door to stop.
She stood up silently, and took one more furtive glance at the two before sneaking towards the door. She looked at the sword that was stuck in the wood momentarily, then opened it. Sliding through the door, she found that the room was empty. Where is the kitty? As soon as she thought this, a flash of white passed before her eyes before all went black. She didn't even have time to scream. Her last waking thought was that she hoped that Sesshoumaru-sama and Utsushineko-chan would be all right. Then darkness descended, and she fainted, her body hitting the floor with a dull thud
.
********************************************************
No, she is not dead you bakas! I WOULD NEVER KILL HER!! SHE'S TOO CUTE!!!
********************************************************
Inuyasha dashed through the forest as quick as he could, hoping against hope that he wouldn't find Kouga. Oh Kami-sama, I don't wanna do this! He whined in his mind. This was so unfair! Why was HE the one that had to do this? WHY?!
"Hey! Inu-kuro, what are you doing on my territory?!" Inuyasha's heart sank as he heard that voice. He turned around to meet the speaker.
"I need," he gulped forlornly, "your help."
Kouga just stared at him incredulously, before breaking into fits of laughter.
"You're ACTUALLY admitting that?! HAHAHAHHA!!!" he gasped for breath. "Okay, I'll help you! But only at a price!"
Inuyasha knew what was coming next. His only ray of hope that saved him his pride was knowing the fact that this whole 'asking for help' thing was needed to trick Kouga, who was going to be the bait in their trap. "What price?"
"You have to ADMIT that Kagome is MY woman!" Kouga smirked triumphantly. Inuyasha just stared at him. This wasn't what he thought would be the price! He thought that he would have to be Kouga's slave or something like that! NOT THIS!!
"NEVER!!" he shouted. He realized that Kouga didn't know about the recent circumstances that had conspired between him and Kagome. "SHE ALREADY CHOSE ME DAMMIT!!"
"Why would she choose YOU?" faltered Kouga. "You're just a hanyou!"
"BECAUSE SHE LOVES ME DAMMIT!! GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL YOU STUPID WOLF!!"
Kouga just glowered at him. "There is NO way that she would ever choose you!" was all he said before running off.
Great. He had just lost them their one chance at getting that jewel shard. But he felt a certain pride in knowing that Kagome loved him and only him. But then his thoughts turned back to the situation at hand. It couldn't get any worse.
"Inuyasha." said an unknown voice behind him.
Great. It just got worse.
***************************************************
Kagome was pacing around nervously. She really didn't like having to trick Kouga like this by using Inuyasha, but they had no choice. She sighed, and then sat down, pulling her backpack to her. Maybe she could at least do her homework while waiting for Inuyasha to come back with Kouga. Just as she pulled out her math assignment, she felt the presence of three jewel shards. Looking up, she tried to find out where they were when a sudden blur picked her up and carried her away. She could see her frantic friends fading into the distance trying to chase after her. She could hear their shouts as they tried to catch up. But the person who was carrying her was just too fast, and she watched as they fell farther and farther behind. Who had captured her?
*************************************************
Guess. *cough*Kouga*cough*
*************************************************
He awoke to the sound of silence. Sitting up, he realized that he had dozed off from exhaustion. Blurrily, he could make out the forms of Jaken and Utsushineko, and by the sound of it they were both asleep. Well, at least one was asleep. The other one was unconscious. With a start, he realized that Rin wasn't anywhere within the room. Frantically, he looked around for the young girl. She wasn't here! Then his nose caught the smell of blood. With horror growing in the pit of his stomach, he realized that it was HER blood. He tried to stand up, but found that he was still tied up.
"YOU DAMN HANYOU!! UNTIE ME THIS INSTANT!!" he shouted, succeeding in his plan to awaken the sleeping neko. She rose to her feet and glared at him, her tail fluffing up like it always did when she was angry. And AGAIN he had that stupid urge to smooth it down! Damn it! This was no time for that! He glared back at her and said in a quieter voice, "Let me go."
"Why should I?" she asked in a cold voice, with malice lacing her every word.
"Because I need to go save Rin dammit!" he growled with a snarl on his face.
She stiffened in shock, only just realizing that Rin wasn't in the room. With wide eyes she sniffed the air, and catching the same scent that Sesshoumaru had, dashed to the door. With a flick of her wrist, the ropes that bound him vanished, and he bolted upright. He strode to the door and removed the sword that kept out demons, but couldn't keep in little girls. So many odd feelings had been running through his head that day, and all he knew right now was that he MUST save Rin, even if he had to sacrifice his own life in the process. He decided to contemplate these new feelings later, and buried them deep inside. With an apologetic look towards Utsushineko, he spoke, "I-I'm sorry that I offended you. I had no idea that you would take it so offensively. Even if you do not forgive me, at least help me to save Rin." And with that he swiftly walked out the door, leaving the confused neko-turned-inu-hanyou behind for a moment, before she dashed up to him.
"I forgive you," she said and kissed him on the cheek, "Now let's go find Rin!"
As she walked away, an unfamiliar feeling crept up on Sesshoumaru again. And he just as quickly buried it for later observation.
The two demons followed the scent to another room in the house, and opened the door cautiously, afraid of what they might find inside. Looking in, they quickly spotted Rin lying in the middle of the room. Sesshoumaru and Utsushineko strode toward her and leaned down, inspecting her for the source of the blood. It was just a little cut on the cheek. They both sighed in relief, but jerked back upright as they heard a voice coming from behind them.
"Are you willing to answer my question yet?" said the cold voice. "If not, then I shall dispose of you." (Jeez, this kitten is more Sesshoumaru than Sesshoumaru!)
They turned around to the owner of the voice, and staring straight at them was the kitten, which was now in his transformed state.
"No, I do not know where your mistress is," retorted Sesshoumaru, "and for the last time, STOP ASKING ME!!"
At this open show of rebuke, the 'kitten' snarled angrily and lunged at him, baring its poisonous claws. He tried to dodge, but the cat was too fast, even for him. He caught the force of the attack straight in the chest, and realized too late that he had failed to protect Rin. His body slumped to the ground as the cat pulled its claws out from him. He slipped into unconsciousness just as a bright flash of light illuminated the scene.
**************************************************
She had been watching the whole fight from the sidelines, holding Rin close to her. He was no match for this seemingly invincible foe. He was going to lose....and she would lose him....She screamed as she saw the cat demon plunge his claws deep into Sesshoumaru's chest, and watched in horror as his body slid to the ground.
"NO!!" she yelled, and felt her power surging through her veins. With a low snarl, she leapt at the cat and managed to tear into its shoulder with one of her claws. Hoping that that would distract it for a while, she gathered up Sesshoumaru and raced back to the room that still contained the unconscious Jaken, with Rin in one hand and Sesshoumaru in another.
She bounded through the doorway and slammed the door shut behind her. Taking out the Tenseiga, she stuck it into the wood, hoping that it would keep the demon out. She propped Sesshoumaru up against the wall, and quickly inspected his wounds. Forming a binding with her light power, she wrapped it around his chest, tying it tight so that it may be more effective. Now all she could do was wait. She stood up and gathered Rin into her arms, and placed her on some bed covers that she had found in one of the drawers. Then she placed one over Sesshoumaru and lay beside him. With a chuckle, she noticed that Jaken was still unconscious.
"Stupid wrinkly green thing...."she muttered before she fell into a deep slumber, not noticing in her weariness that her head had laid itself right onto Sesshoumaru's shoulder. Off into the corner, Jaken was mumbling something in his unconsciousness about evil hanyous ruining his lord's life.....I wouldn't ruin it....she thought before she fell asleep with a sigh.
*****************************************************
Let's all go AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! At the cute scene!!
*****************************************************
The mysterious figure that had kidnapped her had finally stopped at a secluded valley filled with trees and even a big lake in the middle. It set her down onto the ground, and she finally got a good look at her kidnapper.
"KOUGA?!" she nearly yelled. HE was her kidnapper?! WHAT?!
"Kagome, I am terribly sorry to so inconvenience you, but I just had to see you," said Kouga as he looked at her, "Is it true?"
"Is what true?" she asked, having no idea that Kouga didn't know about her and Inuyasha. Well, he did know, but she didn't know that he knew. *cough*
"Is it true that you chose Inu-kur-I mean Inuyasha over me?"
She looked sadly at him, "Yes, it is Kouga. I'm very sorry."
"Oh, I understand," he said in a forlorn way, "I'll go now."
"But Kouga, you DO know that Ayame is interested in you, right?" she asked. He brightened up considerably at this, "You're right! I never noticed it before, but she IS good looking!" And with that he dashed off, leaving Kagome stranded in the middle of the valley.
"WAIT!! KOUGA!! COME BACK HERE!!" she yelled, but to no avail. He had already run out of hearing range. With a sigh she plopped down under the shade of a nearby willow tree, and stared into the lake water that fed the towering tree.
"How am I supposed to get back?!" she cried out to nobody, and as expected, nobody answered.
"Great. Just great."
******************************************************
Damn. He thought silently, Doesn't that bitch EVER give up?!
"Inuyasha, I have come to take you to hell with me," Kikyo said in an emotionless voice, "I want you dead."
That's it, he'd had enough!
"Look, KIKYO, I didn't betray you! GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD!! I never did and never intended to! And for another thing, STOP TRYING TO TAKE ME TO HELL!! Bitch, you have NO reason to! And lastly, LEAVE KAGOME OUT OF THIS!! Stop trying to kill her and me! I've had ENOUGH of it!" and with that said he turned on his heel and walked off.
"INUYASHA!!" she shouted. He felt something whiz by his right shoulder, and found that she had shot an arrow at him. He growled. Damn, I thought that I was going to get off easy! I guess not...With sincere regret, he turned back toward her.
"Kikyo, I REALLY didn't want to do this, but you forced me to. I'm sorry," he winced as he lunged at her and plunged his claws deep into her stomach, then whirled around and chopped her head off. He stared at the corpse for a few minutes, realizing that she was really dead this time, and with a heavy heart buried her deep beneath the surface in hopes that nobody would ever be able to find her. "Gomen nasai." He turned and trudged off towards the camp, readying himself to tell them that he had finally destroyed the soulless clay shell that was the resurrected Kikyo. And that was the end of that bitch's tale. (MUAHAHAHAHAHA!! DE KIKYO!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!)
*******************************************************
Rin awoke to the sound of Jaken's shouts. It looked like he had finally regained consciousness. As she smiled at the thought of torturing Jaken, another revelation crossed her mind. She remembered what had happened! But why was she here? Her eyes snapped open and she yawned, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. How did she get back here? All she remembered was the kitty attacking her....She looked at the scene before her with horror. Lord Sesshoumaru-sama was slumped against a wall with blood in a little pool all around him! And Utsushineko-chan was arguing with Jaken, her fangs were bared and she was yelling death threats at the toad for him to shut up, while she still stayed sitting right by Sesshoumaru's side, never once moving out of the range of one foot from him.
"What happened to Sesshy-sama? WHAT HAPPENED?!" she asked frightfully as Utsushineko finally realized that she was awake, "What's wrong with him?!" She crawled over to where he lay and curled up against his side, not even noticing the blood that seeped into her kimono.
"He was attacked by that youkai while trying to rescue you," Utsushineko explained, her voice tinged with worry, "He's been poisoned, and has lost a lot of blood. I'm not sure that he'll make it...." her voice trailed off as she tried to fight back tears. This couldn't happen to her again! She didn't want to lose somebody else! Rin just stared up at her hopefully.
"Sesshy-sama will get better soon!" she said with confidence, "Rin knows it!" She smiled at the distraught hanyou and fell asleep against 'Sesshy-sama'. "Rin is sure of it...."
"I ASK AGAIN, WHAT DID YOU DO TO LORD SESSHOUMARU-SAMA YOU SNIVELING WORTHLESS HALF-BREED BITCH?!"
She just smiled at Jaken and banged him really hard over the head with his own staff. Moving from Sesshoumaru's side for a moment, she picked up the unconscious toad-youkai and moved to the door. Outside, she could hear the growls coming from Tsuki.
"Hey Tsuki! LUNCH TIME!!" and with that she threw Jaken out the door, and just as quickly closed it again. She could hear snarls and terrified screams coming from behind the door, and smirked triumphantly. Guess I didn't hit him hard enough to knock him out, only to faze him. Oh well! So he has to endure a little pain before he dies, she could hear high-pitched girly screams resounding through the house, I really don't care. She heard the sound of something being ripped apart, like the head of a teddy bear. Or the head of a Jaken, she cackled to herself. Hey, maybe this day didn't go so bad after all!
********************************************************
Now let's get rid of the drama, shall we?
********************************************************
Somewhere in the middle of a mountain, Naraku watched all the actions of the individuals with increasing malice. They were getting closer, and his evil deeds had done nothing to tear them apart! Kanna and Kagura stood close by, their faces emotionless as they waited for an order from him.
"Go find Mitsukai the Wanderer. Tell him that," his lip curled into a smirk at this, "that I have a BUSINESS proposition for him. I'm sure that he won't refuse."
"But what if he does, Lord Naraku? What should we do then?" asked Kagura.
"Tell him that I have something of his, something very-precious-to him. I think that that will be enough. He probably already has found out."
"Hai, Lord Naraku," said both of them in synch as they strode off.
Naraku laughed into the empty spaces of his castle. Maybe this wouldn't be as bad as he thought!
*********************************************************
I wonder what he could mean by that? Oh, and by the way, Mitsukai mean 'Angel', and he's MY character! You haven't met him yet, but you will! *cough* I got the name Mitsukai from my friend Brat. Her nickname for her 'boyfriend', Cloud, is Kumo-mitsukai, or Cloud Angel. Yeah, she's obsessed. *cough* It's your fault Jack! ALL YOURS!! *cough* Okay, back to the story!
********************************************************
Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara desperately tried to catch up with the kidnapper who had stolen Kagome, whom Shippo had already identified as Kouga. But they fell farther and farther behind, and finally stopped altogether.
"They could be MILES away by now!" yelled Sango as she waited for Miroku to think of something anxiously, "AND YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST WAIT?!"
"That's all we can do right now," Miroku stated calmly, "Anyways, Kouga would never harm Kagome, and we have to wait for Inuyasha to come back. My guess is that things didn't go well between the two."
"I WANT KAGOME!!" cried Shippo.
"I said that we HAVE TO WAIT!" retorted Miroku.
"I DUN WANNA!!"
"WELL, YOU'RE GONNA HAFTA!!"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!"
Miroku's already thin patience broke, "SHUDDAP!!!!!!" he kicked Shippo in the head, sending the kit flying through the air to land right in Sango's face.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAA!! SANGO!!!! HE'S BEING MEAN TO ME!!"
"Houshi-sama," said Sango in a warning voice, "You should NEVER under ANY circumstances do that again! Or else I'll whack you with Hiraikotsu!" She held up the said threat, "GOT IT?!"
He nodded dumbly.
"Good," she said happily as she turned her back to him, only to find that that wasn't the best of ideas. She whapped him on the head with her boomerang, and muttered, "Hentai..." before storming off to sit far, far away from the lecherous houshi.
Shippo just stood there and stared at the two.
"I WANT KAGOME!!!!!!!"
And the whole thing started over.
Jeez, are they repetitive or what?
******************************************************
HEEHEE!! CLIFFHANGERS!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!! Anyways, you should review if you want to find out a) whether Sesshy lives or not, b) Who Utsushineko is and what's her past, c) JUST WHAT THE HECK IF THAT FREAKING CAT?! d) who's gonna save Kagome, and how are they going to get the jewel shards away from the evil singing Smurf demons? e) who is Mitsukai the Wanderer? And f) is Kikyo really dead?
Ja ne!! AND REVIEW DAMMIT!! Yes YOU!! *glares at all the readers who have not reviewed so far* I KNOW that you've been reading this and have not bothered to review, SO START!!!
