What Am I? Can you Guess? Dare You Guess?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Buyo was upset. No, upset did not properly express what he was feeling at
that moment. Enraged, irate, furious, testy, err... now how did his mistress
say it? Ah yes! Pissed off. Yes that fit his mood right about now...

His beloved mistress had come home later that day as a mess he almost
didn't recognize. Thought she hid the injuries well with the jeans and long
sleeved sweater, his sensitive nose could still smell the lingering scent of
blood on her.

Buyo was disquieted by the smell of blood yes, but it was the other scent
that made him want to find the mangy little hanyou and do many nasty
horrible things to him.

His Kagome had been crying.

Buyo bristled as he sniffed the clothing that his mistress had left on the
floor before leaving the room to take a bath. Yes, there was the scent of the
hanyou, but there was something else there as well.

The wary house cat took a deeper sniff and immediately regretted it as he
erupted into sneezes at the dead earth smell.

Growling Buyo would've taken a swipe at the offending scents, but that
might've ruined his mistress' clothing.

Just at that moment Kagome came through the door and the cat quickly
stifled his growling. His mistress was already upset and did not need to
think that her beloved pet was upset with her.

Kagome sat on her bed, slowly drying her hair with a towel when she
noticed Buyo gazing at her. The young Miko seemed to understand that
her furry companion was worried about her. Dropping her towel Kagome
went over to pick up the warm fuzz ball.

As she held the cat to her Kagome buried her face into Buyo's furry side,
comforted by the love radiating from the feline.

Sensing his mistress' need for comfort Buyo began to softly purr. When he
felt her smile into his fur he then craned his neck around just enough to
give her cheek and part of her forehead a few quick licks.

Buyo became very proud of himself when he heard the young Miko giggle
because of his gentle ministrations.

Kagome pulled her face from her pet's fur and gave him a warm gentle
smile along with a small hug.

"Thank you Buyo. I really needed to know that someone really cares for
me" Kagome said softly, still cuddling him to her.

Kagome then turned and sat on her bed while still talking to her attentive
pet.

"Buyo, do you remember how we got you?"

"Purrow" Buyo replied, though really wishing with all his heart that he could
just speak with his mistress. Yes, he remembered that day with crystalline
clarity.

He had been injured earlier that dismal gray morning nine years ago.
Hoping to find shelter he had run towards a tree, only to find a young
human boy already underneath it. The young boy had taken one look at his
scrawny messed up body and promptly picked him up. Before Buyo could
react the boy had placed him in a box with many other small furry bodies,
much like his own.
Apparently the boy had been giving kittens away all day because before
Buyo knew it an enraged woman came up to the boy scolding him as she
took him away leaving Buyo and one other lone kitten in the box.

As night fell so too did a soft yet cold rain. The two felines were protected
for a while by the sheltering tree branches, but it wasn't to last long.

When the first drop hit his companion it gave a small mew of distress.
When two more drops fell upon it's small head it began to let out quite a
few more heart wrenching wails.

Buyo felt pity for it and tried to comfort it by licking it's head, but as the rain
continued to fall the action became nothing more than a false hope.

Luckily enough a couple walking by heard the poor thing and picked it up,
not even noticing Buyo lying there as well.

Sighing Buyo thought "it is as it should be."

He curled up into a painful little ball in the last dry spot of the box covered
by one of the flaps and tried to go to sleep.

That was when he heard it.

The chittering...

Hoping he was wrong, with all his fur standing on end, Buyo cautiously
peered over the edge of his box. His heart stopped for a moment before it
started to race at an almost painful pace. They were here, when he was
almost completely defenseless.

Demons.

True they were extremely low level and small but in his condition they were
enough to take his life.

Lamenting about his earlier fight, Buyo did not realize that he had let out a
small moan of despair.

The moan caught the ears of the little black shadows and they slowly
began to stalk the box that Buyo lay in.

Feeling the box shake a bit Buyo quickly looked up only to see two burning
yellow eyes set into the head of one of the shadowy demons.

Buyo glared at the thing while arching his back, if he was going to go down
he was going down fighting!

Just as he was about to swipe at the offending creature Buyo watching in
amazement as the thing was literally swept away by an old broom.

He heard a high pitched screech and before he could even wrap his
befuddled mind around what was going on he felt himself being picked up
and placed into a warm jacket next to a pounding heart.

He heard the shout come from above and looked up into the face of a
young human girl. Her mouth was turned down into a scowl and her eyes
flashed in anger as she swung at the little demons at her feet.

"She shouldn't have seen me" Buyo began to think before he was
interrupted by the girl shouting and swinging the broom again.

"Go away! You can't have him!"

Buyo watched confused as the things stayed away from the wildly swinging
broom. Not that he wanted them to, but he couldn't figure out why didn't
they just charge the girl? She was maybe six or seven by human standards
so even these pathetic weaklings should've been able to take her.

He got his answers a few seconds later when the leader of the group
jumped for her, aiming at him...

Buyo gave a warning yowl and the girl turned with narrowed eyes at the
gangly black creature. Buyo felt a small current run through the girl as she
swung at the creature as if she was waving a baseball bat around.

When the broom connected with the creature it had just enough time to let
out a piercing chitter before it exploded into a shower of blue sparks.

Seeing their leader disappear before their eyes the rest of the demons
gave a few fearful chitters before dispersing into the shadows of the stormy
night.

"Those were nasty spiders!" the young girl exclaimed as she cuddled Buyo
to her.

"I wonder what happed with that one though... Every other time I've
squished a spider they didn't do that"

Buyo started and looked up at the girl "did she not know? How couldn't she
realize that she was a Miko?"

As she walked up the steps that were near by he realized that indeed the
little human had no clue to what she truly was. Soon enough he realized
why. There was not a trace of the power that she had called on earlier
anywhere.

Mentally he shrugged as he thought "she had saved his life and it seemed
that she was going to take care of him. There were worse things in life than
being treated like a pampered house pet and she had saved his life so he
would do the same in return until she no longer needed him."

When Kagome had brought the ragged feline home her mother saw the
stubborn twist to her daughter's mouth and knew that they now had a new
pet.

Buyo saw that none of her family had a clue as to what Kagome was or
what she could become later on in her years. For all her grandfather's talk
he would not even listen to the young girl when she had insisted that Buyo
gave her "buzzy" feelings not "fuzzy" feelings. This too soon passed and
the rest was lost in the times of childhood...

Buyo shook his head clear of memories and turned to look up at his
mistress giving a cat equivalent of a smile. What he had thought would've
been only a year or two of association turned into nine years of loving
friendship.

Still purring, happy from the memories, Buyo chucked Kagome under the
chin causing her teeth to lightly clack together.

Kagome gave a chuckle and vigorously scratched Buyo's ears and neck.
She then gave a happy sigh and placed Buyo on her bed while heading to
her dresser. Pulling out her pink pajamas Kagome realized from the soft
flowery scent that her mother had just washed them that day.

Buyo quickly spun about as Kagome dropped her towel covering her body
to the floor. He listened as she put on her pajamas and once the rustling of
fabric had stopped he turned around as if he had just been making himself
comfortable.

Kagome smiled as the patchwork feline began settling in for the night and
decided that it was time for her to get some shut eye as well. She quickly
scooted over to the bed and lay down ready to sleep.

Buyo curled up next to her head and gave a contented yawn that looked
like it was about to split his face in half.

Kagome chuckled softly as she lay one hand on Buyo's furry side slowly
drifting off "stay with me always Buyo..."

As Kagome fell into a deep slumber she never saw her pet's eyes glow
yellow for a moment and she certainly never heard him whisper "forever
and a lifetime my mistress, forever and a lifetime..."
