Note: Sorry, it's been a while. I got sidetracked by (virtual pet website of which i do not own). On a random note, I'd just like to say that if I ever met Sesshoumaru in real life, I'd so steal his fluffy scarf thingy! And if I ever met Kouga in real life, I'd kidnap him and hold him hostage in my closet where I'd go in and poke his tail until the end of time. MWA HA HA HA! ((can you tell i'm in a wierd mood?))
Define Normal
Chapter Seventeen - NOO! DON'T HURT THE FLUFFY!
In the middle of the starring contest, Kouga felt something tugging on his tail. -sweat drop- "What the hell..." he looked over to see that it was Dianna. He gave her the look of "WHAT!". So, she answered the unspoken question, "Kouga, why is his tail so much bigger than yours?" Kouga looked from the girl to the demon standing in front of him. "That's not a tail. It's a furry scarf..thing." "That was lame..." Sesshoumaru just raised an eyebrow at the two-some. "Since when do demons let hanyou's talk to them that way." It wasn't really meant as a question, but Dianna answered it anyway. "Hey! First of all, Mister I Gots a Huge Fluffy Scarf Thingy, stop talking to me like you're all superior! Second, TELL YOUR STUPID TOAD FRIEND TO STOP HITTING ME WITH HIS STAFF!" Kouga hadn't even noticed, but Jaken had gotten up and was, again, biffing Dianna over the head. But this time it wasn't hard enough to hurt her, only greatly annoy her. Kouga did an annoyed "Hmm.." and grabbed ahold of the staff when it was about to strike Dianna's head again. Jaken couldn't get it out of his grip no matter what he did, "Master Sesshoumaru, why do you let this demon and halfling talk to you this way! Why have you not gotten rid of them?" "Because I was waiting for the rest of the calvery to arrive," Sesshoumaru said, starring behind them. Kouga contined to look ahead at Sesshoumaru, but Dianna turned around to see Inuyasha stalk into the clearing. He was followed by everyone, both two-tails were powered up and doing their best wall-crumbling glare. When Jessica came into the clearing, Dianna saw the look on her face and only had time to say "Jess, no-" before she was interrupted by a gleefull yell of "FLUFFY!" Jessica exploded at Sesshoumaru, running like mad! She had just lept into the air (much like Dianna had done) to attack the fluffy scarf/tail thingy, when Sesshoumaru extended his arm and caught her by the throat. He squeezed a little harder than was necessary, making Jessica do a choked off gasp. "It seems that the hanyous grow more stupid with each generation. Don't you agree, brother?" the full dog demon said, eyeing Inuyasha. Inuyasha continued to glare for a bit, then said "Why are you here?" "The same reason you are," he replied. Just then, Sesshoumaru heard a voice behind the rest of the group, "Hey, you one armed freak! Let go of Jessica!" Dianna blinked, she hadn't noticed he only had one arm. Then AJ shoved her way to he front of the group and yelled "Jessica, why aren't you doing anything! Do you see your claws!" If Jessica's face had been facing them, they would've seen her look of "Oh yeah!" However, they did she her swiftly raise her hands, and the dig her claws into Sesshoumaru's arm. He let out an angry snarl and dropped her to the ground. His wounds healed very quickly by themselves, though. Jessica put her left hand forward to try and grab Sesshoumaru's fluffy scarf, but Dianna saw what she was doing and dove at her, then dragged her away, where they joined the main bulk of the group. Kouga stayed where he was, he wasn't going to back down. Inuyasha came and joined Kouga, taking a slight step forward so he was in the lead, "Well," he said, "you aren't getting them."
The little girl hadn't moved from Sesshoumaru's feet since the whole thing began. But she was giving Jessica a glare of death, and she had been since she hurt Sesshy. Jessica decided to return the glare, but the little girl wouldn't back down. At one point, AJ and Dianna heard Jessica hissing, and only then had they noticed the little girl and Jessica were having a glaring contest. AJ turned to Kagome, who was watching the verbal argument between Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru with growing unease, and asked "Who is that girl?" Kagome didn't break off from where she was looking, but answered "We don't know much about her, except that she helped Sesshoumaru heal of some rather nasty wounds. Ever since he's been letter her tag along with him and Jaken." "Who's Jaken?" "The annoying, green, midgit toad guy." "Ah, okay."
At one point, Sesshoumaru stopped Inuyasha mid sentence and said "I am growing weary of your words, -brother-. Jaken, Rin, let us go." Saying nothing else, he turned around and started walking away. Rin followed without question, but Jaken looked from Inuyasha to Sesshoumaru and back again. "We're just leaving?" he asked, taken aback. "Yes, Jaken. Come." came the reply. "COWARD," yelled Inuyasha, "You're just running away!" Sesshoumaru didn't even stop walking, but said "I would no better run from you than I would a wounded -puppy-." After a couple more seconds, he was gone from view do to the thick trees and shrubs.
"What is your problem," yelled Romeo, "do you have to go LOOKING for trouble!" "I didn't know he wasn't Inuyasha!" Dianna yelled back. "Oh, the fact that he's taller, wears a white outfit, and has a giant fluffy thing draped over his shoulder didn't set off a warning light?" the poodle retorted, sarcasm dripping from his voice. "Well, I only saw his hair from the trees, and when I saw the big fluffy thing I had to have it! Which ended up in a very simular predicament to Jessica's." Dianna replied, looking at Jessica. "I swear, you two hang out too much," said AJ, shaking her head. Powered down, Wednesday lightly jumped up to AJ's shoulders and draped himself around her neck. "Dianna isn't the sharpest crayon in the box," the tom said, "and now that she's half poodle, it's made her even stupider." "Ha," yelled Romeo, "stupider isn't a word! Nyah nyah!" "Romeo, you're such a tard," said Dianna, now shaking her head sadly herself.
Out of no where, Kouga came up to Dianna, and lifter her up off the ground by the shoulders. "You're not to leave my sight, got it, girl?" he said, his face an angry expression. Dianna swung her now free feet slightly, before gulping and nodding her head. "Good," the wolf demon said, setting her back down.
After some small arrangments, the group went back to their original camp.
---Tis Now Bedtime, All But The Three Girls Are Asleep---
The beds were made the same way as before. Romeo put himself as a barrier between girl and wolf again, but he was already asleep. "Once again, his awesome guarding skills astound me," comment Wednesday to AJ about Romeo. Dianna and Jessica saw AJ laughing to herself. "What?" asked Jessica. "The cat is poking fun at Romeo again," answered Diamond. "Nothing, it's just Wednesday," said AJ, oblivious to Diamond's answer.
---Almost Everyone's Asleep---
Jessica turned over to get more comfortable, and saw the Dianna had a strange expression on her face. "What is it," she whispered, for AJ, Wednesday, and Diamond had gone to sleep. "I want the fluffy," Dianna answered simply. "What? Oh, that guy's scarf. I want it too, but you can't always get what you want." was Jessica's answer. "Yeah, I guess you're right," said Dianna, but didn't want to accept that answer. After about 20 minutes of silence, Dianna turned over to face Jessica again, only to see that she was asleep. -sigh- "I always take forever to fall asleep. Darn fluffy. I can't stop thinking about it." Just then, a slight breeze blew, and Dianna sniffed a familar smell. "Hey..it's him! The fluffy guy! Sesshoumaru! What a mouth-full. I'll just call me Sesshy." She smiled to herself, then she almost lept out of her blankets, but restrained herself just in time. "He's still close! ... FLUFFY! ... Darn. I can't leave with -him- watching me." Dianna turned back to the right side, facing Kouga. She glared at the sleeping figure a little too into her bubble (yet again). Then she looked at the fuzzy sleeping figure of Romeo. She smiled and pet Romeo. Then an idea struck her. "Should I do it? What if Sesshy's not asleep? ... It wouldn't hurt just to check, would it?" Slowly, VERY VERY slowly, Dianna crept out of the blankets. "Man, it's cold," she thought, as she was picking up Romeo. She slowly picked up the poodle, and the deposited him in the spot where she had just lain. Then she pulled the blankets over him and turned him so that he was facing Jessica instead of Kouga. "Isn't exactly the best disguise on earth, but it'll do. Good thing it takes a lot to wake up Romeo." That being her last thought, she every so slowly crept out of camp.
---Running Through The Forest---
"I'm getting closer," the poodle hanyou thought excitedly, "That Sesshoumaru smells pretty good, actually. Better than Kouga. Bleh." It was pretty dark, but the moon was almost full, so she was able to see better than normal. Almost before she realized it, she arrived at Sesshoumaru's new campsite. Everyone was sleeping. She had to restrain herself from jumping for joy, "Fluffy!" Creeping in a way that would make the best ninja proud, Dianna got beside the sleeping form of Sesshoumaru, on the opposite side of the girl, Rin. Luckly, that was the side that Sesshy had put on his fur. As Dianna slowly kneeled down to get at a better angle, Sesshoumaru mumbled something in his sleep. Dianna almost jumped out of her skin! After waiting for what seemed like hours (but was only less than a minute), she began to painstakingly slowly de-fluff-ify Sesshoumaru. After what seemed an eternity, she had it! "I. Have. The. Fluffy." was her one and only thought all the way back to camp. The was the fastest she had ever run in her life.
---That Morning---
Everyone was up and awake. Dianna, in particular, had way too much energy. She was so awake that you would think she had drunk three vente lates. "What's up with you," yawned AJ, stretching much like Wednesday did. "Uh...nothing nothing nothing. Heh..." the poodle girl replied. AJ gave her 'the look', but said nothing else. "HI DIANNA!" yelled Jessica, comming up behind Dianna in a surprise yell attack. Dianna lept 10 feet into the air, and backflipped to the other side of her rather buldgy backpack. "AHH! I DIDN'T DO...ahem. Hi Jessica. DON'T DO THAT!" as she said that, she lightly slapped Jessica's arm. "Heh, what has you all defensive this morning," said an energetic Jessica. "Defensive? DEFENSIVE? Pshaw! I am NOT defensive. Whoever gave you the idea that I was defensive!" Dianna said back, very very hastily.
An angry, ear-splitting roar cut through the entire forest.
"What the heck was that!" gasped Jessica. For some unknown reason, everyone turned to Dianna, who had saucers for eyes, and a twitching left ear. "Well, would you like at that sun! Guess it's time to go! COME ON EVERYONE!" she said, a little too hastily (again). Giving eachother confused looks, everyone put on their packs and they started moving. They were almost at Kaede's house, anyway. "You know," said Inuyasha, "That roar almost sounded like Sesshoumaru." Dianna's ears were twitching again, "Uh...guess he woke up on the wrong side of the sleeping bag, eh? -insert hysterical laughter- Ehem...is it just me or are we walking REALLY slow?" "What's up with you," asked Romeo, "you've been acting strange all morning." "What! Nothing's wrong with me Romeo!" she yelled more loudly than was needed. At that point, Kouga came up and said "Girl..why is your bag so fat?" "Uhhhhhh...not it's not." she replied -sweat drop-. "Actually, the guy's right about something for once, it is kinda buldgy," said AJ. "Man, what's wrong with you people," yelled Dianna, apparently going insane, "I didn't do anything! I'm not hiding anything in my bag!" Jessica opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a blissfully unaware Miroku. "Ah, we're here!"
Miroku was correct, they had finally arrived at Kaede's hut. It was a lot smaller than Dianna, Jessica, or AJ imagined (they were used to 21st century housing, after all). Thankfull for the change in subject, Dianna said "Wow, it's kinda small, huh?" "It's not as small as it looks on the inside," said Kagome, who had gone up and knocked on Kaede's door. An old women answered it, she had an eye patch. "Pirate," said AJ without thinking. The old woman looked at the six new faces (or seven, if you count Kouga as one), and said "Uh..no. Not pirate." Then she turned her attention back to Kagome. "Come in, come in, there is much to talk about!"
