Chapter 2 Tenderized Puppy

Inuyasha paced around the small hut, unease nagging at his mind. He hadn't been able to sleep for the feeling that something was about to happen that he was not going to like. His continued pacing woke Koga up.

"Damn it, mutt, what's your problem? Can't you let a wolf sleep?" Koga angrily muttered.

"Shut it, wolf. I have this feeling that something bad's gonna happen. I just hope-" He broke off as his sensitive ears picked up the sound of someone stomping towards the door of the hut. What the hell? I know this scent, somehow. But why can't I tell who it is? It smells like another dog de- His thoughts were cut off as well as the door to the hut slammed opened to reveal one very pissed-off miko. "Serena, what are you doing here?"

She gave him his answer by stalking over to him and landing a punch that knocked him across the room. "What the hell do you think could possibly be the reason I'm here? I'm gonna kick your ass for what you let happen to Kagome!"

"Like you were around to try to stop it! You were too busy running around in Kagome's time to help us look for shards, much less defend poor, helpless Kagome. Besides, how were we supposed to know Naraku would pick that night to come after us?" Inuyasha raged.

"It doesn't matter. You shouldn't have done that in the first place, much less left her in the woods alone! And you wonder why Naraku attacks when you least expect it. You know what? I'm done talking. I'm gonna hurt you now."

Miroku sat up suddenly, wonderingwhat had woke him, when he heard the sounds of fighting in the other room. "What the..?"

"It's just Serena beating up Inuyasha again. Go back to sleep," Sango murmured sleepily from the other side of the room.

Inuyasha sat up slowly, clutching his sore head. After Serena shut up, she did a good job of hurting him. She fights like Sesshomaru. Did he train her? Or is it something else? She's faster than me, and that's not possible if she's human. What is she? Huh?Is someone laughing?That was his last thought before he passed out again.
Up in the trees outside the hut sat Sesshomaru, mentally laughing at the sight of Inuyasha passed out on top of that wolf, Koga. (Very nice, Serena.>

(You like?>

(Like? I love it, and this Sesshomaru thinks Kagome will appreciate it too.>

(Tell her hi for me would ya, Bro?>

(I will. Farewell.>
