The Unexpected Surprise

Okay... That wasn't supposed to happen... And this was just about the worst situation to get...

The shards were gone.

Mikkusu had arrived at the campsite they were sleeping at to find that Inuyasha character in an extremely angry mood. The hanyou was stomping around and yelling at that girl who named him Furokuu, saying things like 'This is all your fault!' 'Wench!' 'How could you let this happen' and she was yelling back stuff like, 'It's your own fault!' 'If you're going to be 'such a great demon' how come you couldn't stop it!' 'I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!' The monk who had remarked about Mikkusu's dog name was sitting quietly next to the girl with the two tailed demon cat, looking as if he wanted to speak, but knew he wouldn't get the opportunity, and the child kitsune was sitting in a tree, over viewing the whole thing. After more yelling from the first two, the girl yelled, 'OSUWARI!' and Inuyasha slammed to the ground. Quite impressive. Mikkusu had two thoughts on his mind, the first one from before, and the second one being, What the hell was going on? He had sat and watched for awhile, and learned nothing, so he moved in a little, and sat next to the monk, and looked up at him with questioning eyes. That creature would sure enough tell him, he looked like he needed someone to talk to. He was right. No sooner then he had sat down, then Miroku had looked at him, and said, in a low murmur.

"Wish they would stop fighting. Sure this is a critical situation, but he's not helping by being stubborn..."

Critical situation? What? Mikkusu cocked his head, hoping this would work. Once again, it did.

"We managed to get the shards stolen." Miroku responded, sounding unreasonably calm, even in a situation like this, heaving a sigh before continuing. "We didn't notice the demon until it had come and gone, everyone was exhausted I guess, we were in too deep a sleep, but we saw it's tracks, and it had left a shard. We think it's working for Naraku, but we're not sure."

Naraku... The name sounded familiar to the dog-elf, but he couldn't quite put a finger-- ... Paw on it. But that wasn't important now anyways, the shards of the jewel, the only reason he had come to stay with these pathetic beings in the first place, was now gone! Mikkusu was MAD. At himself, and at the others, so he growled, a deep, threatening growl, which caused the monk to move over slightly, away from him. Mikkusu then barked, not a happy playful bark, but a deep evil bark, in his language, only meaning one thing. Damn you. Dam you all.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:

He was stuck. Stuck with the group. Stuck with the group until they could find the shards again. Damn. Mikkusu was definitely not in a good mood. He was siding with Inuyasha at this point, There was no way to be in a good mood in this situation. The girl, who's name he had found out was Kagome, kept being optimistic, and cheerful. Well, screw her, the elf thought, glaring up at the back of her black haired head. The brown haired, two-tailed cat owner, was just quiet, and was smart in that way, and the monk, was just like her, knowing to be quiet. Inuyasha however, was being loud, and crude, which was exactly what Mikkusu would have done if he were him. However, at the moment, he was a dog, and had to be nice and happy, licking people's faces and such. He chose not to, though. He instead, trailed at the end of everybody else, and kept his head low, thinking thoughts quietly to himself. Okay, so, what could he do? He could follow them, and when they found the shard, take it, or, he could go off by himself. Crap. When could he break off? And if he just ran away, Kagome would probably chase after him. God, she was a pain. Okay, so he was stuck trailing them...

Great.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:

The day was drawing to a close, and the sun was staring to go down, when a clap of thunder was heard. They weren't too far off from a village thought, so luckily, they might get there before the rain fell.

Or not.

The village wasn't even in VIEW when it started to rain... Well, Drizzle at first, then gradually begin to grow, and soon, everyone was soaked. The worst part was, there was no way to HIDE from this downpour. So they just continued to get wetter and wetter, and for Mikkusu, this had to be the WORST thing that could happen. The dirt, and leaves, and small twigs and such kept sticking to him, and soon, he was incredibly dirty. It was quite uncomfortable. Everyone else seemed to be trying to ignore this rain, but it was quite hard for the dog, that wasn't used to this sort of comfort. So he kept shaking, and spraying the dirty, mud-stick-leave water on everyone else, who scowled every time he did this, yet, their scowls brought on a sort of amusement for him, something that made him want to laugh, so he continued to do this... and continued to annoy everyone else. To their dislike. Soon Inuyasha started yelling at him.

"WOULD YOU STOP THAT YOU STUPID DOG, I'M SO CLOSE TO RIPPING YOU TO SHREDS!"

Mikkusu shrunk back slightly at his words, and this must have won Kagome's sympathy, for she went to Inuyasha's side, but Mikkusu's defense.

"You're scaring him, Inuyasha! Stop it! He's a dog! He can't understand!"

Then the hanyou muttered something, that caught Mikkusu's ears,

"Oh... He can understand. He can understand perfectly.."

"What?" Kagome asked, to be answered with a 'Nothing! Nothing!'

She was quite sore to Inuyasha after that. She had the thought that he had been insulting her under her back, and had started to ignore Inuyasha. He didn't seem to care however, so her shunning plan wasn't working. It amused the elf-dog greatly to watch the two though.

However, an odd smell reached Mikkusu's nose, and being a dog, he felt the instinct to follow it. He glanced up at the group. Good. None of them were paying much attention, if he slipped away and came back real quick... None of them would notice. Good. Good. So that's exactly what he did. Slip off, plans on returning in an instant. However, not all plans work out. When he returned. They were gone, and the rain had covered up their smell. He was lost.
