Jisinaru, a strong cat demon from the eastern lands, sauntered through the alleged forest where Inuyasha had once been pinned to a tree. Her white tail swished from side to side lazily, and her ears twitched among her short grey hair that brushed her earlobes (it was like… skater hair but not all up in her face). Her lime green eyes scanned the trees with no apparent interest.
A bush moved slightly and her head snapped in the direction of it. She wasn't about to use any of her demon powers so suddenly but she needed to be on alert because this was dog demon country.
Jisinaru had amazing fighting abilities. She was a master at fighting hand to hand, and she could create a light whip using two of her claws. She used those claws the most, when she wasn't using her kantana or deadly metal fan.
A monk in purple robes stepped out of the bush, and stood there calmly and stared at the cat demon, who stared back.
Jisinaru had her left hand on the stomach of her armor, in a stance of comfort, and the other hung limply at her side near her deadly fan. A strange wind blew her hair about and tugged at her loose shirt and skirt, both in different shades of white, grey and black.
"What do you want monk?" She asked in a beautiful voice with a monotone overlay. Her ears twitched in annoyance, she just wanted to train against demons and enjoy the danger of being in dog territory.
Miroku (the monk) placed his staff into the ground, setting it firmly into place. He bowed to her. "What are you doing here prowling through the forest all by yourself? Are you an incarnation of Naraku, hoping to terrorize a village and kill Inuyasha?"
Twitching her tail to show her raising annoyance, Jisinaru replied, "No, I am neither. I am just coming through, and looking for a challenge in a fight. Although you are no match for me, shall we monk?" She raised an eyebrow.
Miroku got into a fighting stance with his staff as protection. He leapt into the air at the cat demon, but she jumped out of the way and pulled out her fan.
Snapping it open, she threw it at him, it whistling through the air at him and missing by an inch. It returned to him and stuck into his staff when he used it to block the whirring disk.
"Hey!" He yelled out, staring at the fan. It was close to hitting his hand.
Jisinaru wiggled her toes in amusement and smiled, her fangs glinting in the sun. She jumped and landed in front of him and pulled out the fan, showing off her deadly claws in the process.
"I can smell half dog demon all over you. Tell that mutt that I spit into his face. His name is Inuyasha isn't it?" Jisinaru sneered, raking her claws down the staff as Miroku nodded.
She leapt away, leaving the staff all carved up. She leapt from tree to tree towards a village where she could get a place to stay for the night because it was going to rain. She hated the rain.
Jisinaru ceased her leaping at the edge of the forest and straightened her clothes before she walked the rest of the way to the village. She smelled the air on the way.
"Damn, it reeks of dog demon." She shuddered and stopped at a house near the edge of the village. Inside was a small family consisting of a man, woman and little girl.
"Excuse me; I was wondering if I could stay here tonight. Just for tonight." Jisinaru asked them kindly.
The man shook his head, "I am sorry, we don't have enough room, but you could go to the priestess' home, she is always taking demons in."
She huffed, but nodded and continued on her way towards the house that the man had pointed out to her. The closer she got to the house, the more intense the odor.
A half dog demon burst from the house and brandished a huge sword. "What do you want!" He yelled to her and kept his stance.
Jisinaru stood there calmly and stared, "Ahh, you must be Inuyasha and that is the tetsusaiga." She cracked her knuckles pulled out her fan and held it, waiting for Inuyasha to attack like she knew he would.
Inuyasha relaxed from his fighting stance. "You a wind demon or something? You stink like cat."
Her eyes flared with anger and she opened it, the sun glinting off of it. "I am a cat, stupid. What is it to you anyway mutt?" With a flick of her wrist she flung the fan at him and it whistled towards someone for the second time. A loud clang rang through the air and the fan deflected off of tetsusaiga (the sword) back towards Jisinaru, who caught it.
"Nice hit." She folded it up and placed it back into her belt. "I just want a place to stay and then I am on my way." Her face held no emotion, but Inuyasha stayed in his defensive stance.
Losing her last strand of patience for Inuyasha, Jisinaru formed a black light whip and whipped it at him. It wrapped around his feet and made him fall over, tetsusaiga falling on top of him and holding him down.
She walked right past him into the house/hut thingy she bowed to Kaede, and asked, "Priestess, may I stay the night here? Just one night and then I am on my way."
Kaede nodded and Jisinaru sat in the corner, and looked out the window at the setting sun which was being covered by clouds.
The cat demon closed her eyes and dozed, the rain always making her feel drowsy and lethargic. Her tail and ears twitched as she fell into a light sleep.
An hour or so later, a dark haired girl burst into the house, startling Jisinaru out of her sleep. The young woman shook her hair out and smiled at her friends, who included a young fox demon (Shippo), a demon slayer (Sango), and the monk who Jisinaru had fought earlier. They all greeted each other while she blinked stupidly at them.
"Hey Kagome! Welcome back!" Sango (whose name Jisinaru had vaguely heard while she dozed.) exclaimed and helped the new girl take off her huge back pack.
"Who is this?" Kagome asked, eyeing the cat demon's tail and weapons.
Jisinaru placed a hand on her sword and twitched her tail again, saying nothing in reply.
A small voice spoke up from Kagome's shoulder, "That there is Jisinaru, a part of the cat demon tribe in the east. She left for training and I think spite against her father."
Shippo grinned and Miroku was still silent. "Wow Myoga, she looks dangerous, so why are you here?"
Myoga the flea laughed, "Because she is half asleep and it is raining. It is like she is drugged. It happens to all cat demons so they live in a climate where it rarely rains."
Jisinaru's tail puffed out and she looked thoroughly annoyed, "What is it to you?"
Inuyasha sat up (he was near the fire and inside, although reluctantly) and smirked, "It means that you are weak and I can defeat you easily."
She rolled her eyes and opened up her fan again. "Highly unlikely. Although your stench is making me ill."
Inuyasha growled, making a move to stand up and attack her. Kagome clenched her fists and yelled, "Sit!"
He crashed to the ground in a flash of pink light. Kagome laughed and sat down to stare at the cat demon.
Jisinaru smiled and flattened her skirt, she hated being self conscious but she couldn't help it. "Eherm… What time is it?" She glanced outside and it was light out (but cloudy).
Miroku smirked at her; "It is morning already." He stated, with a chuckle to himself.
She stood up, showing no emotion, and said. "Thank you for your hospitality priestess, now I will take my leave." She walked out of the village and didn't look back.
Jisinaru coughed and rinsed her mouth out at a stream in the forest. She was thoroughly disgusted with herself.
"Gross, now I taste that mutt in my mouth." She coughed several times more and then stood up. Rain fell down onto her in a slight drizzle.
"Damn rain!" She ran under a tree and climbed up, cradled into a nook in the branches.
She dozed again, but awoke when she heard voices. The loudest was a whiney voice that complained about cat demons.
"Shut up Jaken." A deep, calm, and commanding voice said from below the tree.
A little girl said "Milord? What is that?"
"It is a cat demon, Rin." The deep voice said with a chuckle.
Jisinaru looked down at a tall, handsome dog demon that looked back at her, an evil twinkle in his golden eyes. She stood up and grinned down at them.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Kill the wench!" The whiney voice screamed. It was owned by a short toad with a staff that had two heads on it.
That toad must be Jaken… Jisinaru thought, and smirked. She pulled out her fan and threw it at Jaken, and sliced off his head. The fan flew back to her and into her hand, dripping with blood.
Sesshomaru showed no emotion, but he pulled out a sword (he had two) and hit the fallen toad with it. A bright light flashed and Jaken was revived.
"What the- Is that the tensuaiga?" Her eyes widened and her tail twitched nervously.
Sesshomaru resheathed tensuaiga and looked up at the cat demon. He jumped up onto her branch.
"What are you doing here cat? And why do you smell like Inuyasha?" He asked in his quiet voice, slightly angry.
Jisinaru cracked her knuckles like she did before and glared into the eyes of Sesshomaru. "I am passing through and I was stopped by the damn mutt and I stayed the night in a priestess' home." She rolled her eyes, "Inuyasha just so happened to be there too. His smell is disgusting; I am resisting the urge to vomit." She placed a hand on her fan and stared calmly at him.
Sesshomaru watched her movements but didn't do anything. He blinked and almost invisibly cut the belt that held the fan and the kantana. He leapt back and smirked.
Jisinaru fumed, and held the fan, it being in her hand and her sword on the ground.
"Shall we fight?" He asked and pulled out the Tokijin.
She held her breath and shook her head. "No, I shan't fight you. I am not properly equipped and you have that demonic sword." She unfolded the metalicfan despite what she said.
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow and swung Tokijin at her, only to have her jump up out of the way.
