Torres stops short at the rim of the well, frozen in place at the sight of the half-demon.
"Who the hell are you?" he demands, brandishing his sword. "What did you do to Kagome?!"
"I don't know who you're talking about, I don't even know how I even got here."
"Through the well, stupid! How do you think??"
Getting over her shock, B'Elanna notices his dog ears, but restrains herself from touching them. Inuyasha sees her line of vision and backs off. "Don't even think about it. How'd you like strangers poking you in the head just cause of how you look?" He stands over her, sizing her up, then takes a deep whiff of her. "So what are you supposed to be? You sure don't smell like a demon."
B'Elanna rolls her eyes, "Of course I'm not a demon! There's no such thing!"
Inuyasha bends down to get right in her face, "Well, I am! Or...I would've been if the old man hadn't had such a thing for humans."
"In that case, I'm a Klingon...or I would've been if my mother hadn't had a thing for humans." She pauses inwardly, suddenly aware that she'd always tried to avoid identifying herself by her maternal lineage, wondering what prompted her feelings of trust. Perhaps it was because he would probably understand that aspect of her, the anger, the shame...
Realization dawns on Inuyasha's face, finding something of a kindred spirit in his new acquaintance. "So you're a--"
Now its B'Elanna's turn to get in his face, "If you even think of using THAT WORD..." she trails off, holds her bat'leth menacingly. Inuyasha takes a few steps back, "Wow, that's a fancy sword! You use both hands? Kinda looks like Sango's boomerang bone. Her's is way bigger though. Come on, I'll take you to Kaede's. She'll be able to tell us what you did to Kagome." He squats down for her to get on his back.
Reluctantly, B'Elannna climbs on; Inuyasha leaps into the air and hits the ground running, their journey staccattoed by his flying leaps. In no time at all they're outside Kaede's hut where Sango, Miroku, and Shippo are waiting for him. B'Elanna shakily dismounts and staggers to the ground.
