Me: *hiss* *bangs him on the head* SHUDDUP!)
*****************
It went around and around and up and down in a regular pattern, nearly hypnotizing the one who watched it with rapt fascination. Nothing had been explained to him as of yet, but he was still amazed by all the new things he had discovered while in company with Kagome and her friends. After much deliberation, the rest of the group had decided that it would be best if he and Daemon stayed out of the village. People around here, although used to seeing demons pop up, would not be partial to these two particular demons. Especially when their kind of youkai was thought to be extinct. No, the villagers would not react to that nicely. In seconds they would probably be clutching pitchforks and knives, yelling 'Kill the demon!' while him and his 'brother' ran for their very lives.
Nope, they wouldn't react well at all.
It had been about an hour that they had been left here, right on the outskirts of the village, safe from the inhabitants' wary eyes, and he was growing bored of it. Why hadn't they come back yet? Maybe they really did mean to ditch him and Daemon. Daemon....of course, he wasn't really mad at his doppelganger. Maybe he should apologize. It was just stress that was talking, but by the looks of it, his twin seemed to be deeply offended by his words.
Damn guilt.
He turned his attention back to the matter at hand, this hypnotizing little toy Kagome had given him to keep his attention while waiting. A yoyo she had called it. He called it 'the little wooden ball that can be shot at certain annoying twins.'
Ah yes, it was a useful little item.
But did Kagome really intend to come back for it? He sighed, causing his silent twin to glance at him in suspicion, still rubbing the bruise that was forming on his head when he had been hit by the yoyo.
He couldn't stand the oppressive silence anymore.
"Daemon?'
"....What?"
Good. A reaction. Reactions are always a good thing. Well....not when it's a reaction from an angry demon, but anyway....
"Do you think Kagome will come back for us?" He winced at the amount of uncertainty in his voice.
"Maybe, maybe not," came the short reply.
"How helpful and reassuring dear brother," said Mitsukai sarcastically, "I can just feel the worry and fear evaporating in the face of your strong and wise words."
"...."
Great. More silence.
"Aw, come on Daemon, don't be like that-" he started, but was cut off by his twin.
"Be quiet and stand still," Daemon hissed, looking around warily, "I smell something not quite right around here..."
Mitsukai opened his mouth to ask what, but was again stopped. This time, by the low growling that was coming from behind him. He froze, and saw Daemon's eyes narrow in anger.
"Get away from my brother, demon," warned Daemon, stepping threateningly forward towards the being behind Mitsukai. He could feel hot rancid breath on the back of his neck that was too hot and rancid and close for comfort.
A low voice growled out, "You smell like my mistress. Where have you taken her?"
Mistress?
"I do not know of whom you speak," snarled Daemon, "But if you injure my brother I will gladly introduce you to my acquaintance Mr. Sword, and you can go visit a lovely little place called Hell."
Damn it. Here he was, frozen in shock, unable to move for fear that he'd have his head sliced off. Oh happy day.
A hiss met his ears, and he mentally yelled at Daemon to quit provoking the one who had control over whether he lived or died at the moment.
And of course, Daemon ignored him.
Why that stupid little son of a-
"I think not. I have orders to take you two alive. But that doesn't mean that I don't have to use force to get you to my master," that evil growl rumbled. He felt a quick slicing cut across the back of his neck before loosing consciousness.
Daemon watched as his twin crumpled to the ground and snarled, enraged, attacking at the giant white cat demon that had dared to cross his path. Faster than lightening, the youkai managed to strike a hit to his chest, effectively knocking the wind out of his system. Another blow, this time to the head, left him unconscious as well.
And with what might seem to be a grin, the cat picked them up with its long incisors and tossed them roughly on its back, bounding off with a stable and level leap and fading into the dusky twilight.
************************************************************************
Kagome stared thoughtfully into the flickering flames of the fire, eyebrow furrowed in worry. Why hadn't Kouga come back yet? It had been agreed that they would head to Neko-chan's house to pick up Tsuki and take him back home, before starting on another journey for a jewel shard. She sighed and leaned back into the warm chest of Inuyasha, causing him to wrap his red-clad arms around her. For some reason, she had a bad feeling that something big was going to happen. Something horrible.
And the worst part was she didn't think she could do anything about it.
"Penny for your thoughts?" quipped Inuyasha in a solemn tone, using one of the more common phrases she had uttered.
She twisted around to look into his bright golden eyes, and was silently awed anew at the intensity she saw in them. "I just have a bad feeling, that's all. I'm just being paranoid, I guess..." She trailed off, dropping her gaze to the ground instead. His arms tightened.
"I've learned to trust you Kagome," he breathed into her ear, "And I know that when you have bad feelings that it isn't just paranoia."
She shivered at the tone of his voice. She leaned up to look at him once again, letting her face get closer and closer to his.
Two more inches and-
"KAGOME-SAMA!!!" Miroku's voice called out, interrupting their private moment. "Hachi has just informed me that-" he paused, looking between the two teens that had Death Glares fixed upon him and his intrusion.
"Hehe, did I interrupt something?"
"You're damn right you did monk," growled Inuyasha, thoroughly peeved at the odd thing Fate had against him and Kagome kissing.
Fate is a very fickle person to please, and in this case, she must be pissed at Inuyasha for something he did to anger her.
Note: Those who anger Fate WILL pay.
And she had a sick and twisted sense of justice.
"Anyway, there's something more important than whether you and Kagome get it on or not," continued Miroku, earning more glares, "We have trouble. Hachi has been wandering the area, and caught sight of a large white cat demon that has been causing trouble around the area where Utsushineko and Tsuki are. He also said that he believes that the neko-youkai chased several other people into the house; two of the people being Kouga and Sesshoumaru."
If Inuyasha's eyes hadn't been wide before, they probably rivaled the eyes of Kuroneko from Trigun right now. That freaky cat had some serious eye problems.....
"W-What?!" stuttered Kagome, horrified.
"You heard me alright. Sango is currently beating Hachi on the head for not telling us sooner," Miroku smiled a little at that, "And Shippo went to get the Deadly Duo."
Ah yes, what would anime be without the cliché name substitutes for one or more people?
"So, we'll meet up with them at Neko-chan's house?' she asked, already standing up and packing necessary things.
"That was the plan Lady Kagome," said Miroku, heading out the door.
"Let's hurry Inuyasha!" Kagome urged, following Miroku out the door, "We have to get there before anybody gets hurt!"
Inuyasha strode after her, sighing silently to himself.
He never shoulda cheated when playing Go Fish with Miroku....Fate must be angry at him for that.....
See? She has a twisted sense of justice!
.......you mean Inuyasha cheated at Go Fish?!
************************************************************************
Sesshoumaru was, if it was possible, getting bored.
Oh my, hell has frozen over people!
But really, how a high-born youkai like him could get bored, even we do not know. Our only clue is the Cheering Charm that was placed upon him by Neko-chan.
Currently, the floor had been worn down about three inches, in a single straight groove, by the monotonous padding of shoe-clad feet that tramped around in the utmost bored manner. The owner of those feet was currently having his left eyebrow twitch spasmodically.
They had been stuck in here for only God knows how long, without any clue as to when they could escape. Neither he nor Kouga wished to try that little idea again.
They could always use Neko-chan as the decoy this time around though....He grinned slightly at that thought. It seems that the little blue girl had grown on him like Rin did, a little spore that grew into a full-fledged fungus.
Somehow, that comparison was eerily accurate.
He glanced to his left and saw Rin copying his movements, looking stern and solemn and stoic, all the while tripping over her own feet while trying to match his pace. He slowed, just a tad.
Off in the corner, Kouga was happily chatting with Utsushineko, discussing the wonders of binding spells.
That made his lip quirk a bit. Really, it reminded him of what happened to his 'dear' brother. Someday, he should thank that miko for it. He was actually quite glad that his brother had finally settled down, and with a strong miko too. Amazing, that it was. Two weeks ago, he would have been silently seething in anger, set to destroy anything in his path just at the thought of his hanyou brother associating with humans again.
Had he really changed that much? And in so little time? It was almost improbable, yet here was the proof.
......He cared about people. Blech. He felt the need to gag. Never in a million years had he thought he would ever admit to that.
I blame it on the humans.......or at least, the part humans. Said part-human looked up from her conversation with Kouga and caught his eye, smiling shyly before turning her attention back to the matter at hand.
Surprisingly, he felt himself smiling too.
Would this be classified as a fluffy moment? He hoped to Kami-sama that it didn't....
************************************************************************
And a little ways away, in a tall, dark, evil castle that we've all seen before, two inert forms were thrown into a cell littered with bones and smelt of blood.
Another figure, Naraku, smiling evilly at the two before dismissing the giant cat that had quickly brought them.
"Ah yes, now my plans are almost complete," he smirked, "And then, I SHALL RULE THE WORLD!! MWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *gasp* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-" A shoe to the head cut him off.
"WOULD YOU SHUT UP YOU IDIOT?!" screamed Kagura, "I'M TRYING TO CONCENTRATE HERE!!!!!!"
He scowled and stalked off, once again tripping over the Evil Rock of Doom.
Bad guys never get the hint, do they?
