While the toad man is screeching and running from the girl a tall aristocratic demon, with long flowing silver hair and a white fur wrapped over his shoulder, steps out from the surrounding forest. Once spotted by the little girl, she runs over to him, calling his name, "Lord Sesshoumaru, Lord Sesshoumaru, look what Rin do while Lord Sesshoumaru was gone." He looks down at her as she holds up a necklace made of flowers. Patting her on the head, he turns his attention to the ragged toad huffing and puffing over to him. "Jaken, gather Ah-Uhn, it is time we left." "Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru." Jaken waddles off to fetch Ah-Uhn with Rin close behind. *************************************** A dark and shadowed compound, nestled into a ravine, is the destination for the two passengers of a giant white feather. "Whooee! This is fun. Is that the place, it looks more like a dump than I expected. Oh well, I don't expect to have to be there to long." "You, girl, are completely insane. Not only do you have no idea who you're dealing with but your clothes are even stranger, I don't understand what Naraku wants with you." "Oh, I know exactly who I'm dealing with and I'm not worried. As for my clothes..." Katsua looks down at her mismatched clothes. She's wearing a lavender tank top that only goes over her left shoulder, the bottom hem is angled up toward her right side, written across the front in English is the phrase 'KRAZY GURL' several of the letters are even backwards. Her lime green sarong is open in the front exposing the bright orange bikini bottom, which the sarong is tucked into. "...I designed them myself." Katsua can't help the huge grin that spreads across her face at Kagura's reaction. The feather sets down in the compound's courtyard and Katsua jumps off enthusiastically. "Are you always this energetic?" "Of course." Katsua does cartwheels up to the porch, "Knock, knock. Anybody home?" Kagura walks up and opens the sliding screen, she then motions for Katsua to enter. Upon entering, they are greeted by a dark sinister looking man. His long dark matted hair held high on his head in a ponytail. He turns his head slightly and speaks, "I would have thought you would be more subdued her Kagura." "Now, why would she need to do that. I wanted to see you Naraku-baby." "Hmm, interesting that you would come willingly. You obviously don't know who you're dealing with." "Now, what makes you say that, Naraku-baby. I know that you have at least half of the shards, and don't even think that you'll get my shard. If you want me to tell your furtune, you'll let me have. At least until after your battle with Inuyasha and his kid." Slightly concerned, "His kid? What nonsense is this, Inuyasha has no children." "Not yet, not this century." "What's that mean?" "It means neither I nor Inuyasha's son is from this time." She smiles secretively. "You have to be the must intriguing demon I've ever had the courtesy to meet." ******************************************* Meanwhile, Inuyasha and company have run into a few demons sent by Naraku. Inuyasha is using Tetsuiga against Naraku's puppet, while Yusuke covers his back using his spirit energy and fists. Miroku and Kirara have teamed up and are keeping the demons away from Sango, who is fighting Kohaku and barely managing to keep the upper hand. Shippou is clinging to Kirara's back and shooting of fox fire whenever needed. "Damn, is it always like this?" "Pup, don't ask stupid questions in the middle of a fight." Inuyasha brings up the Tetsuiga and prepares for his attack, "Kaze no Kizu!" Yusuke sees the attack and almost gets blind sided by one of the demons he was fighting, lucky for him Inuyasha had kept an eye on him and was able to dispose of it. "Pay attention, pup! Kagome would kill me if anything happened to you." "What was that? I didn't know that that sword could do that." Inuyasha dices another demon that goes after Yusuke while he's distracted, "Feh, pup! Either you start paying attention or you can go join Shippou." "Hey, I can take care of myself." "Good, then start acting like it." As soon as Inuyasha finishes his statement, Sango gets flung into Yusuke by Kohaku. He's able to break her fall so neither is hurt. "Ow." Kohaku throws his kunai at them, but Yusuke is able to roll them both to the side to avoid the deadly blade. The blade comes at them again, this time Yusuke pushes Sngo towards Miroku and himself towards Inuyasha and the kunai hits between them. "Damn, Sango. Why is your brother trying to kill you again?" Sango just looks at him like he's nuts while Inuyasha hits him upside the head. "Stupid pup. Pay attention to the fight and stop asking stupid questions." Inuyasha grabs Yusuke by the scruff of his neck and drags him over to where he can fight Naraku's puppet. "Sango, deal with the brat, I don't care how just do it. Miroku help her. Pup, you and I will deal with the puppet." 'Geesh, he's bossier than the old hag. Hey I wonder if she was around during this time. Then again, maybe I don't wanna know.' Yusuke and Inuyasha soon destroy the puppet, and with its destruction Kohaku flees. "Alright, let's set up camp here. Shippou, there's a stream over that away, take Kirara and bring back some water so we can tend to Sango's and Miroku's wounds. Yusuke, get some fire wood so we can start a fire. Sango, Miroku, sit and don't get up until I say so. I'm going to get something for us to eat." After Inuyasha, Yusuke, Shippou, and Kirara leave to do their 'chores', Sango leans over to Miroku and says, "I wonder what's gotten into him, we only have minor wounds and yet he's treating us like we're dieing?" "I beleive it has to do with Kagome being gone and the arrival of his future son. I think he wants to set a good example for him." "But he's acting like he's the head of a pack..." "Think about it Sango.I believe Inuyasha sees us as his pack. Of course he would act as the head, especially if he's trying to be a father figure for Yusuke." "I guess so, but its still to strange. He ussually doesn't care if we get minor wounds in a fight, well not enough to make us sit in one place while everyone else does the work." "I don't know Sango, I honestly don't know." "Miroku." "Yes, Sango." "Why is it whenever I think you are being serious you have to go and ruin it?" Looking innocent, "Whatever do you mean, Sango?" "PERVERT!!!" *SMACK* Miroku is now in need of that water Shippou is getting thanks to Sango's strong right hook. ********************************************* Its now late. Everyone has been tended to and Miroku is conscious again. "Hey, earlier when we fighting, you said that was a puppet, we were fighting." "Yeah, Naraku's puppet." "Well, why did he send a puppet to fight, instead of coming himself." "Because, Naraku's a coward and won't fight his own battles. Its part of the reason we haven't been able to beat him yet. Go to sleep pup, we're getting up early tomorrow to head back to Kaede's." "Why?" "Because she can tend Sango's and Miroku's wounds properly and because I say so." ********************************************** ********************************************** Sora: oh, this is getting interesting. sorry about this being late I wanted to finish it for christmas but things came up. happy new year.
