Sorona- I don't like hurting Sesshy either but it's funny. Yeah. If you go far enough underground you can find anything!

I jumped out of the well clumsily. The day had been pretty bad. Everything had gone wrong. And it started when I woke up. I fell out of bed and didn't land on my feet. But then again I don't think many people could if they were all tied up in their sheets from a night of tossing and turning.
Then I fell down the stairs one the way to breakfast. Luckily I hadn't been wearing my ring and the bruise I got all over my face disappeared in a few minutes. Of course something had to happen to my skirt. (I fell down the stairs of the shrine and ripped it.) I had to change it and by the time I got to school I was late. Running into the new bully didn't help much either. He pushed me down, so I got up and pushed him down. A teacher saw me and gave me detention. To top it all off I failed a test and had to retake it.
But now the day was over and I was free to wander the feudal era as I liked. Heading the opposite way of the village, I decided to explore Inuyasha forest a bit. The trees were huge! They would be. They were hundreds of years old.
I stopped at a huge apple tree. The biggest one I had ever seen in fact. I doubt three of me linking hands could have gotten around the tree. It was tall too, but plenty of branches near the ground allowed for good climbing. And there was what seemed like an endless supply of bright red apples at the top!
You should know I love apples. They're sweet or sour depending on the color and you can always count on them to be crunchy. I surveyed the tree and decided it wouldn't be too hard to climb. I really wanted those apples!
The climbing was easy. I sped right to the top of the tree. I found a comfortable branch and settled down, eating my yummy red prize. I guess the tree I was sitting in was one of the tallest trees in the forest because I could see for miles up there. "Maybe this is why Inuyasha likes sitting in his tree." I thought. Then shook my head, "His is short." I continued, "You can barely see over Kaede's hut."
I began thinking about things. Kagome and Inuyasha. They'd make a cute couple. A dangerous and disfunctional one, but a cute one. And it was obvious they liked each other even though they fought everyday. This thought was giving me a headache. I decided to take a nap.
I woke up and checked my watch. The time was 6:47 PM! I was so dead. Looking down, I sucked in a gasp of fear. It hadn't occurred to me how exactly I was going to get down from the tree. There was no way I was climbing down it. Way too scary. I was stuck. Joy.
Grabbing another apple, I wondered if the others were worried about me. There had been times that I had run off to be by myself for days at end before. But I had told the others that I was going. And I'm pretty sure Mikoto was around, watching silently. He was too just to protective of me sometimes.
No one knew I had come to the feudal era! The thought scared me. No one would go looking for me here, at least not for a while. I had to calm myself down somehow. Or entertain me so I didn't go crazy. "Row, row, row your boat!" I sang.
My watch now read 7:51 PM. I had gone through every song I knew, famous, popular, childish. It didn't matter. I had sung it in the past time. "What to do know?" I asked myself. A bird flew by, right in front of the setting sun. Then a giant dragonfly. I cringed. Even though I'd seen a lot of them around lately they still freaked me out.
An idea came into my mind. I snapped off part of a branch where the branch split into two branches. Then I pulled my hair tie out. It would make a good slingshot. A perfect thing to keep me entertained. The dragonfly came around towards me again. With nothing else to use, I grabbed an apple and aimed. The dragonfly was almost in range. Just a little more. I let rip. And missed. The dragonfly flew away. I sighed.
Pulling out a piece of paper and a pencil that I happened to have with me, I drew a pretty sloppy picture of Sesshoumaru. Then, on the head added horns. From the back, a devil tail, and then of course funny eyebrows and and one of those funny mustashes. There we go. My murderer in his true form. I'd have to show it to Inuyasha.
Now it was 8:29 PM. The sun had set, I was still stuck in the tree, and I was bored again. The dragonfly hadn't come back and nothing else had gone by either. I pulled my hair back again and threw the branch out of the tree.
The moon was full today. It was huge! Very beautiful too. I stared at it for a few minutes. Then another idea came to me. I'd freak a few people out. I gave the first howl to the moon and cracked up. This was fun... and funny! I howled again. There was another perk to howling at the moon. People would mistake me for a wolf. Inuyasha hated wolves because they came with Koga and Koga was bad news to him. I can't say I blamed him for that opinion. They were fighting over the same girl.
At nine o'clock exactly clouds covered up the moon. I sighed. It had been fun while it lasted. There was a murmur of voices below me. With my great eyesight I could see it was a group of travelers. They were brave to be traveling through Inuyasha forest. All the other travelers had avoided it at all costs. I picked a leaf and dropped it down on them.
"What was that?!" I man asked looking around. "Just a leaf falling." Another snapped, "Let's go!" I dropped a few more leaves. "There's more coming down!" The first man said. "Yeah so?" The second man asked. "Why in the world are you afraid?" A third one asked. I dropped more leaves. "It's just starting to freak me out!" the first man exclaimed. "Come on." The third man said, "The boss wants these stolen goods by sun up! And we've got to tell him about our incredible murders too. They'll surely get us a better ranking in the group." The other two nodded.
So they were bandits. I dropped an apple on the second guy's head. I didn't care if it hurt them anymore. He screamed. "There's got to be a demon up there!" the first guy said. "Yeah." The second one agreed, "Let's go!" "You two are just big babies." The third said groaning. I dropped two apples on his head. He screamed and all three took off screaming 'Demon'.
"That was the most fun yet!" I said. I sighed. There were no more bad guys to drop apple on.
I guess I fell asleep again because the next thing I knew I heard a bunch of people calling my name. Looking down, I saw Sango, Kagome, Inuyasha, Shippo, Miroku, and Mikoto walking by. "She's around here." Mikoto commented, "I can smell her. "Yeah." Inuyasha agreed, "I can too."
He walked under my tree. I picked an apple and dropped it neatly on his head. "OW!" He exclaimed and looked up. I waved to him. He glared back. "Kyo." Mikoto said sighing. He sounded relieved. "Is she in the tree?" Kagome asked, "I can't really see." "I'm up here." I replied, "Just get me down!"
Inuyasha jumped up into the tree, grabbed me by the back of my shirt and jumped back down. "Why the hell were you up there?" he demanded. "I wanted an apple." I snapped back. "Why didn't you just jump out?! You had us scared!" the hanyou asked. "I was scared." I replied blushing a bit. "Scared?!" Inuyasha yelled. I nodded innocently.
We began the walk back in silence. Finally Sango broke it. "Was it you howling at the moon?" she asked me. I grinned in response.
Inuyasha: The stupid cat was so stupid that she wouldn't get out of the damn tree without help?!?! What's wrong with her?!
Clear Waters: Normally cat's don't climb trees.
Kagome: Neither do dogs, but Inuyasha's always up one.
Clear Waters: Good point. Well Kyo's more attuned to her respective animal race than Inuyasha.
Shippo: Yeah. Do you think I could get away with throwing apples at Inuyasha's head like Kyo did?
Sango: Probably not.
Miroku: Yeah. Speaking of which, Inuyasha, why didn't you smack Kyo over the head for dropping that apple?
Inuyasha: I don't know, but don't think I'm going soft!
Sango: I bet it was because Mikoto was around.
Inuyasha: And that has anything to do with this question?
Sango: You know not to mess with other demon's mates.
Kagome: You're right.
Inuyasha: ...
Clear Waters: Don't worry Inuyasha. We know you're not going soft.
Inuyasha: Soft is not a word in my vocabulary.
Kagome: But your ears are so soft! {tugs on Inuyasha's ears}
Inuyasha: Get off wench!
Clear Waters: Before a hole magically appears in my floor I shall end this argument. Who liked Kyo's picture?
Inuyasha: ME!!!! I WANT IT!
Clear Waters: Good because you're getting it. R&R everybody!
