Fluffy: "Mistress Nika does not own the InuYasha series."

Nika: "And...?"

Fluffy: (sighs) "However, she does own my worthless, canine hide."

*Pets Fluffy's head*

Nika: "Good doggy!"

*Fluffy starts purring*

Fluffy: "Hey! I'm not supposed to purr! I'm a dog-demon!"

*Gets out a stun gun*

Nika: "You purr because I say you do!"

*Fluffy growls, then gets shocked in the butt*

Nika: "Bad dog!"

*Fluffy whimpers*

*Nika grins evily*

Nika: "Now, on with the story!"

*Returns to petting Fluffy's head*

*Fluffy resumes purring*

Sango and Miroku stood staring at her with wide eyes and gaping mouths.

Whatever reaction InuYasha had expected from her, that wasn't it! A blush began creeping across his cheeks as Charity and Morgan said, "Awwww..."

For once it was Miroku who came to her rescue. He walked up beside her and put his arm over her shoulders. He said, "I believe what Lady Kagome meant was, she is very fond of InuYasha. Just as she is very fond of Sango, Shippo and I."

Kagome nodded furiously, blushing and staring intently at the ground. Suddenly she let out an "eep". Miroku's hand had gone from comforting to groping. She jumped forward and InuYasha was on him in less than a second.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, MONK!!" he shouted.

This spurred on Charity and Morgan's giggling and Charity said in a cutsie voice, "Aww. Look. He's protecting his fangirl!"

Sango just rolled her eyes, Kagome blushed again, and InuYasha proceeded in pounding Miroku.

Shippo had dashed for cover when all hell had broken loose. He was currently hiding behind a tree and peeking out at InuYasha pummeling Miroku into oblivion. He cautiously emerged from his hiding place and poked Kagome.

She looked down at him, glad for the distraction, and said, "What is it, Shippo?"

His stomach growled and he whined, "I'm hungry... Can we go back now?"

Kagome looked at the receeding sun and said with a sigh, "Yeah, I guess." Then she turned to her companions and shouted to get their attention. "We should go back." she said, "It's getting dark and everyone's probably hungry, and it doesn't look like I'll be going home anytime soon."

(A/N) Okay... No Fluffy or fangirl sketchbook yet. I know! I now have it planned out. Next chapter is the sketchbook, and the one after that is the Fluffy entrance. I had trouble finding a way to get them to go back to the village. So, for this little bit, R/R!

--Do you think I, Nika, should trade that 'Bad Dog' for, maybe Naraku? Or should I continue my torment? What should I use on him next? ^.^
