In the Feudual Age, Kouga arrives at the well, insults and fists fly as usual, Potty mouths from Inu and Kouga, Jaken, Sesshoumaru's loyal servant, shows up.
As always, Inuyasha and co belong to Takahashi Rumiko :bows: et al.)
\fThe Sengoku-Jidal...at the Well..
"Inuyasha..." Mirouku watched as Inuyasha attempted to dig through the well."Don't you think it's time to seek out Kouga for his shards?"
"No shit..." Inuyasha grimaced. Asking Kouga for anything was the last thing he wanted to do! Finally, he sighed. Kagome's life was at stake here. As for his brother, Sesshoumaru, well he wasn't doing this him.
And suddenly, he caught a familiar scent -
"Ay, dog-turd!" Kouga's voice resonated through the woods as he leaped from one of the trees. "Digging for bones, baka?" Kouga was his usual cocky self. Kouga looked around but didn't see Kagome.
"What? Where's my woman, Kagome?" Kouga's eyes narrowed, his body ready to fight.
Inuyasha tensed, he too was ready to fight Kouga - for any reason, or for no reason at all.
"She's not your woman, asshole." Inuyasha seethed.
"Lost her, didn't you, you stupid piece of dogshi -"
Inuyasha rushed at Kouga with a feral cry of rage. His claws extended as he swiped at Kouga, only to find that Kouga had swiftly moved out of the way, sending Inuyasha to the ground.
"Ay, mutt! You're losing your touch!" Kouga smirked as he watched the hanyou get up.
"GGGGGAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIII!" Inuyasha leaped up again.
"Well..." Sango raised a brow at Mirouku. "Should we let them kill each other?"
The errant honshi replied, "Kagome would not be pleased upon her return."
"You seem so - sure, Mirouku." Sango said worriedly.
Mirouku moved closer to Sango and said, "One must keep an optimistic outlook, Sango..."
"Don't even TRY, Honshi. " Sango glared at Mirouku. "We need to stop those idiots now!"
Meanwhile Kouga and Inuyasha were exchanging blows - and insults at each other, completely forgetting what they were fighting about.
"STOP!" Mirouku stepped between the two just they readied themselves to charge one another again.
"Honshi..." Inuyasha growled. "You better get outta the way or..." Inuyasha's claws extended.
"Or you're a dead monk, Monk..." Kouga finished Inuyasha's sentence.
"Shut UP, Wolf-butt!"
"Hey, just cuz' you're an ignorant piece of dog shi - ..."
"AAAAAAARRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Inuyasha charged at Kouga, and missed him, slamming into a tree. Kouga had darted out of way, thanks to the two Shikon shards embedded in his legs. Miroku just got out of the way in time.
"Now are you two done?" Mirouku asked.
"Yeah." Kouga causually walked away from Inuyasha and leaned against a tree.
"Why you - " Inuyasha was mad. "Come on, wimpy wolf, take out your shards and see how long you last with me...hey, wait a minute!" Suddenly he remembered WHY Kouga was here in the first place.
"Kagome." Inuyasha said out loud.
"Wha - huh - yeah, where'd ya lose my woman?" Kouga's eyes narrowed at Inuyasha.
"I didn't lose her, wolf-butt!" Inuyasha ground out. "She's in trouble on the other side of the well!"
"Is that all?" Kouga went to the well opening and yelled, "KAAAAAAAAGOMMMMMMME!"
"BAKA!" Inuyasha shook his hair out of his face as he stood up.
"She's not in there!" Kouga growled.
"She's not IN the well, she on the other side!" Inuyasha was losing his patience.
"Other - side?" Kouga cocked his head.
"Where she came from!" Inuyasha crossed his arms. "Tell him, Miroku, Sango. He's asking for it...baka.." Inuyasha sat down, ignoring everyone.
Mirouku said, "Kouga, Kagome has been stolen away by Onigumo, the 'heart' of Naraku. Somehow he freed himself from Naraku and took most of his demons with him. He killed Naraku, presumably all his 'extensions' as well. We can't reach her and Lord Sesshoumaru -"
"Lord Sesshoumaru?" A familar voice asked.
"Jaken?" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"Yes! Tis I, Jaken, servant of the Great Western Lord, Sesshoumaru! Now what did you do with him? He ran off after that - that girl, Kagome!" The toad-like youkai cried out.
"Kagome?" Mirouku answered back.
'Yes, stupid HUMAN!" Jaken aimed his Staff of Heads at the honshi. "Tell me, NOW!"
"They went down the well - and haven't come back. Dogfart here lost 'er." Kouga cheerfully volunteered an answer.
"HEY!" Inuyasha started towards Kouga, but Jaken was in the way.
"Oh! Oh! My master Sesshoumaru! Your servant Jaken is coming to assist!" Jaken leaped to the edge of the well, leaped and -
THUD!
Everyone went and peered down the well and saw a somewhat flattened Jaken at the bottom.
"Ohhhh...my head...Don't just STAND there, you misbegotten fools!" Jaken looked up at the group now laughing at his predicament. "Get me OUT!"
Sango, with a smirk on her face, waggled Jaken's staff of Heads and replied, "Only if you behave.and help us."
"AWK!" Jaken's mouth fell as he stared at the staff. A human! A GIRL had HIS Staff of Heads! Oh, if Master Sesshoumaru heard about this - !
"I suppose - but only because it's my sworn duty to serve my lord Sesshoumaru - even if means my life!" Jaken stood up proudly as only a toad-bird like youkai could do.
"NOW GET ME OUT OF HERE!"
