Here's the second chapter. I was ecstatic when I saw that my reviews were at a count of three! Well, here's my reply to them:
Dragonfaeriex: I know what ya mean about having dogs. I have one, plus my parrot, Baku-chan, who both can't eat chocolate. That's mostly where this story came from. Glad you like!
Miah The Storm Wolf: I hope it's gonna turn out interesting, but don't expect much. This is just curiosity on my part, as my only other story that was written in this format got the most reviews.
Aura Black Chan: Are you seriously asking this about Inuyasha? J/k, he probably (Deep down) wouldn't want the lands to leave his family's possession.
Anyway, to answer two of you, I guess I am updating soon, huh? Lol!
Ch. 2
::What is this?::
-We know not, M'lord,- Ah said, rolling his eyes.
'After all, you're the one who brought it back, if I may be so bold to say it.'
Sesshoumaru gave Un a dirty look, then pulled out a small, spherical object in a plastic pouch. The object was about the size of a human eyeball and a vibrant red. With no regard to the words on the wrappings, he tore them away and held the ball in his hand. He gave it a sniff, then popped the thing in his mouth. Immediately, its flavor began to rush through his mouth, the momentary sugar rush threatening to make him heave. His eyes then began to water profusely and he spat the thing out.
"Cough!! I need water!!"
Sesshoumaru ran through the forest until he found a stream, then plunged his head in and began to suck in mouthfuls of it. Even as he pulled his head up and shook himself dry, he could still feel the burn of the Fireball in his mouth.
"Ugh. Those objects are not good."
The lord then made his way back to Ah-Un and the bag of candies. He rooted through the very large bag and was surprised to feel cold metal meet his soft fingers.
"Hn. What is this, now?"
He withdrew a can. This time being cautious, he read the words on the artifact.
"Coca-Cola...classic...hmm...calories 140...save $15 in advance with coke can to Halloween Horror Nights...wha..."
Unable to discern the meaning, he stared at the top. A small tab was pressed to the can. He carefully slid his finger under it, then pulled it up.
A loud "CLICK!" sound was made as the can opened. Smiling at his cleverness, he swilled the can around, only to hear sloshing.
"Ah. A liquid. As it is in this bag, perhaps it is for drinking."
He put the can to his lips and took the tiniest sip.
-Is it good, Master?-
A smile came upon Sesshoumaru's face.
::It is very good!::
He drank about half the can in one gulp, then decided to save the rest for later. He licked his lips. The liquid left an unsettled, tingly feeling in his belly, but at the same time, he felt pretty nice...
Suddenly, the taiyoukai felt some sort of bubble move up his throat and...
BUURP!
-M'lord, have you lost it? You usually have more manners than that...- Ah said playfully.
::It wasn't on purpose,:: Sesshoumaru said in fascination, quite forgetting to excuse himself. Never had he felt a bubble of gas like that! To be sure, he was capable of executing the action, but it felt sort of strange to do it after drinking this substance...
::Let us explore further into the bag.::
Sesshoumaru next pulled out a small rectangle. This, this, is what he was smelling most of all. He examined the small rectangular prism, turning it in his palm and poking it with his claw experimentally. Finally, he slid his claw under the wrapping and was able to remove it.
Now what sat in his hand was a small, brown bar.
'Is it poison?' Un wondered.
::Decidedly not; this is what the wench often brings the kit as I gather it. From what I heard, I stole the brat's treat. That is when we went out of earshot.::
Sesshoumaru poked at it with his claw, then put pressure on it. Surprisingly, his claw sank in a bit.
"It is not very firm," he mused. He ran the single claw down the bar and a small corkscrew of it came away in his hand. "Nor is it very pliable. It merely comes away."
He inhaled the scent and smirked. It already tasted delicious, especially to a youkai as hungry as he. He finally bit into the substance and his smile grew. The sugar was flooding his senses, pure pleasure to his taste buds.
Rapidly, he peeled the wrapper off of another and ate it.
-M'lord, are you sure this is a wise idea?- Ah said worriedly, ears pulled back in apprehension.
Sesshoumaru gave a small candy bar to each of the dragon heads.
'He was not lying, Ah! These little edibles are quite scrumptious!'
-I agree, Un, but still...-
::Desist ruining my fun!:: Sesshoumaru said, downing another chocolate.
-Ah, well...-
The left dragon head rolled his eyes once again.
-However, I would like meat, so Un, if you would please...-
'Very well...'
The two-headed dragon took off, leaving Sesshoumaru to his contention. Once they were out of his earshot, Un smiled.
'I have never seen Sesshoumaru-sama so happy since we entered his service.'
-Indeed,- Ah agreed. –I'm glad he is happy.-
Back on the ground, Sesshoumaru had finished the bag of chocolate and the can of soda, and was starting to feel full of energy.
"Ineedtodosomething!" he said in one breath.
"MaybeI'llgoslayayoukai! Yesthatisit! Iwillslayayoukai!"
He began to bound at superhuman speed to the closest living thing. Unfortunately for him, that was Rin and Jaken.
"Haa!!"
He tackled Jaken and they rolled a ways away until Sesshoumaru stopped, squatting on the squealing imp.
"L-l-lord Sesshoumaru?!" he stammered.
Sesshoumaru had a smile on his face as he let Jaken up.
"What has happened, milord?"
"Wellitslikethis. Iatesomebrownstuffanditmademeallhappy,canyouandRinplaywithme?" the taiyoukai said quickly.
"P-play?!?!"
"I'll play with you, Lord Sesshoumaru!" Rin said. She tagged his shoulder.
"Hn?"
"Tag, you're it!"
Sesshoumaru gave her a puzzled look, then tapped her back.
"You're it."
"No, Master Sesshoumaru, you are!"
He shoved her back softly.
"You!"
"You're it!" She said, running away.
And so this game of tag went.
After about an hour, Ah-Un had returned and the sugar rush that Sesshoumaru had gotten wore off so he decided to get back to traveling. What was more is that he could smell Inuyasha.
"It seems he wants his bag back. Oh, well."
Sesshoumaru, Rin, and Jaken piled onto Ah-Un.
::Go as fast as you possibly can to the north. Inuyasha I know is not familiar with those lands. If we wind circles, he is bound to get himself lost. His nose is nothing to mine.::
'Affirmative, M'lord.'
The dragons spent an hour and a half winding circles and whatnot around the Northern lands. They were about to complete a particularly intricate figure eight when Sesshoumaru began to feel unwell.
::Ah-Un...let's stop...:: he said, feeling his stomach jolt.
Ah-Un began to dive and he moaned.
"Are you okay, Master?" Rin queried.
"I am not feeling my best," the taiyoukai groaned.
He pressed his head into Ah's neck. The dragon felt his discomfort and nuzzled him.
-We are nearly there, Sesshoumaru.-
::I am not sure that I will make it there...::
As the dragon's claws finally touched the ground, Sesshoumaru tumbled off Ah-Un's back and fell on his tail-side shoulder with another groan. His stomach felt ready to explode. His face started to flush out as a fever began to plague him.
"Rin, leave me...please..."
"Yes, my lord. If that is what you wish..."
"Jaken, accompany her..."
"Er...very well..."
Sesshoumaru rolled until he was on his knees.
"What is happening to me?" he wondered in dismay.
-Milord, I did try to warn you...-
Sesshoumaru felt like a fool. Once again, his curiosity had gotten his better. He was sure that his bastard brother would get a hell of a kick from his predicament.
Just as he finished the thought, he began to get sick. Un whimpered and Ah shook his head in sorrow as wave after wave of nausea passed through Sesshoumaru's body, causing him to expel the chocolate he had previously eaten. After a few minutes, he finally stopped and collapsed back onto his side, completely exhausted and still feeling ill and faint. The last thing he saw was Ah-Un's face as the dragon licked him softly.
:: I am very sorry that I did not trust your judgments. I suppose this is due punishment...:: he said in a low dog whimper.
Boy, oh boy! I didn't expect that chappie to be soooo long. Hope you 'preciate it and like it!!
R&R!!!!!!
