~*~Chapter Nine: Not Feeling Yourself?~*~
Disclaimer: *police officer pulls on hand-cuffs* *stares at the police officer stingily* I..._don't_...own InuYasha. *gets pulled again* OR anyone else from InuYasha...damn...^^; I don't even _own_ this disclaimer! At least, I don't _think_ I do...SSHHH!! ^-^;
A few yards away, there was somebody standing on the same path as ours. I couldn't make out who it was, but they were quite short and stubby.
Whoever it was, they saw us, and walked towards us. Closer, closer, closer. . .
"Who _are_ you??" InuYasha hissed.
The old squat woman standing yards from us paid no heed to him and reached her hand into her coat pocket. She pulled out a wand, inspecting it, and put it back in its pocket. She walked closer to us until she was 5 feet away, before pulling the wand out again. Chuckling, she raised the wand up towards InuYasha. He cocked an ear.
A wave of energy swarmed from the tip of the wand and hit InuYasha squarely on the chest, pushing him to the ground.
Kagome cried out and ran to help him, only to be hit by the wand also.
As I stared in horror, the witch aimed at me. I dove out of the way as I was almost hit. Each time she struck at me again, I blocked with Hiraikotsu. But this time, a bigger wave of energy flew out and I was hit. I blacked out.
Miroku stared on in shock, seeing me and the others already out. Purple stuff glowed around us. The witch mumbled to herself,
"Hmm, what should I do with _you_? I could turn you into a lizard. Yes. That will do nicely."
Miroku stood his ground as she aimed at him.
Waves of purple energy poured out from the tip of the wand, and as Miroku was about to be enveloped by it, he threw out his Sutras.
"WHAT?! What is _this_?!" the witch screeched.
The energy expanded, the witch and Miroku drawn to it. The witch, in turn, was now a lizard. But as for Miroku, well, let's say he's not feeling his age. . .
+++++++++++++++
I awoke soon after, staring up at the wall of a tent. As I rubbed my eyes scornfully, I found that these were not my hands. Instead, they were. . .they were. . .black, furry paws! They weren't _my_ hands! No fingers! No thumbs! Damn. My hands! Curses. I stood up, and my jaw dropped. I stared into a puddle of clear water. I looked like. . .like. . .
Kirara!
I was turned into a neko-youkai! I had the same gorgeous red eyes, vanilla- colored fur and black furry ears and paws, along with the two tails.
I looked around to find InuYasha and Kagome; maybe they could help me, but instead, a small white dog with an oddly familiar necklace wrapped around his neck lay there, and a black-and-white mouse in between the dog's paws.
I sniffed at the mouse, and prodded it with my nose. The mouse awoke with a shock.
"EEEEEEEE! Oh, it's just you, Kirara. Say, have you gotten bigger?"
I furrowed my brow.
"I'm _not_ Kirara! It's me! Sango!"
The mouse shrieked again.
"SANGO?! Then, then, what am _I_?!?!"
The mouse ran over to the puddle.
"Oh, my God! I——I'm a _mouse_!" Kagome shrilled.
She ran around in circles, before getting squished to the ground by InuYasha, who happened to be that white puppy.
"Shit, Kagome. Do you have to be so damn loud? Oh, my God! What in all the seven hells is going on here?! I'm a freaking. . .animal!!"
"You're a dog."
"Whatever."
"I see you've all woken up?" Miroku poked his head in the tent's flap.
InuYasha growled,
"_You_ did this, Miroku!"
"Me?"
"MIROKU! You——you're a _kid_!" I exclaimed.
Miroku explained to us that the witch had all turned us into animals.
"Damn that God forsaken witch! Damn her! I don't want to go prancing around like a stupid little puppy! I'm a _Hanyou_! Not a _puppy_!"
"Yeah? Well, you're cute as a puppy! At least you're not a mouse! I get stepped on and chased by things! Like cats! Sorry, Sango, Kirara."
Kirara soft-growled. I ignored her as I bathed myself.
I felt a familiar hand stroking my back. A low growl rumbled deep in my throat. I scratched his hand.
"Ouch, Sango."
I flicked my tail in his direction and settled myself down. I had an advantage of being a neko-youkai. I never had _claws_ before!
I felt Miroku's smile on me.
"GOTCHA!" He snatched me and tossed me into the air. I smirked. So _that's_ how he wants to play, huh? Well, I'll show _him_.
Transforming into my bigger state, I fell on top of Miroku with a THUD. ^-^ HAHA! That was so _funny_! Aww, did I hurt him? I stared him in the face, a smile lifting from my mouth as I pinned him down.
"*gasp* Okay, you win, Sango." Miroku groaned, pulling with all his might to lift one of my awesome paws. I lifted him up in my mouth by his robes.
I walked over to Kirara, transforming back into my small, normal size, laying down next to her.
Miroku, luckily, couldn't tell from us which was which, because he was trying to grope me, but instead, he groped Kirara. I smirked. In my mind, I pictured Kirara getting angry and flame balls bouncing off her body and Miroku sprinting away for his life from the angry neko-youkai. Wait a minute. . .Kirara could _kill_ him!
I jumped in between Kirara as she growled ferociously. A mew came from my throat as I told Kirara to stop from attacking the monk.
Meanwhile, Kagome was having fun nibbling on InuYasha's tail. . .
"God damn it, Kagome! Stop that! You _know_ it hurts! It hurts enough when I fall on my ass by your "sit" techniques! You stupid wench!"
Kagome giggled,
"It's not nice to call people that! Hehe. . .Okay, I'm in a forgiving mood right now so I'll stop biting your tail, for now. . ."
"FORGIVING?! Hell, no! You. . .you're _crazy_!"
"Crazy for having fun chewing on your tail? Well, it's already fluffy (FLUFFY! YAY!) enough that I'm going to get allergies! I love your fluffy tail!"
"Feh."
"Num, num, num. . ." Kagome continued chewing on the fluffiness tail. (A/N: Fluffiness rocks! ^^; Fluffy. . .)
"OY! What did I just _tell_ you?!"
Kagome giggled again.
"I don't know. I'm so forgetful at times when I don't want to pay attention!. . ."
"Oh, _now_ she tells me!" InuYasha whined, covering his snout with his paws.
"Aww, the puppy looks so cute!"
Kagome hopped up on his head and walked around in a circle and fell asleep.
"Finally! The wench is _finally_ asleep. . .thank God. . ."
InuYasha himself curled up for the night as Miroku watched him through the corner of his eye. . .watching me as well.
As soon as everyone fell asleep, I went outside the tent to go roaming around. I had just barely made it from the bushes when I heard voices. They were too far away for me to be able to comprehend what they were conversing about. I sneaked closer to hear them. Still not close enough! Why did they have to talk so quietly?? Was it something _that secret_ to whisper?? Well, if it's so secret, _I_ need to hear it, too, you know!! I crawled into the bushes, _finally_ able to comprehend their conversation. Yes, it did sound very secret. . .as well as important. . .
~*~*~*~*~
~HAHA! CLIFFIE! Don't you just love cliffies? I do. I know this doesn't sound fair, but I _need_ people to review this in order for me to write the next chapter. It's for that contest thingy I have on my BIO if you didn't check it out. I _have_ to have people review so if one of them gets it right, or more than one person, I can write the next chapter with them included in it! So please review! I normally don't do this making people review so I can write my next chappy, but this is important. Well, I think it is, at least. AND I would like my BFF—KawaiiNezumi7—to review my story like she said she might! Please do review it, Sarah. . .err, I mean, Furby. Oh, yeah. I _might_ do drawings for one of my stories, or this one, most likely, but it might be a possibility. I was thinking about doing it before KawaiiNezumi7 (KN7) asked me to do drawings for her, 'cause I'm _such_ a good drawer. . .just kidding. I've worked very hard on teaching myself to draw and I think I've mastered Anime and Manga drawings. I _am_ pretty good for my age, not bragging, but I _know_ that I'm not the only one. I know there's so many people who are awesome with Paint Shop Pro 7/8 which I don't have. . .Wow, this is _such_ a long ending note. . .I'm gonna wrap it up. Please review! Signing out.~
