Lor: HIIIIIIYAAAAA! I'M BAAAAAACK! XD
Inuyahsa: From what?
Fluffy: Her lazy streak…Fluffy? What the hell?
Lor: All I needed was more reviews…but I got em- so my motivation kinda came back. I made this chapter extra long!
Fluffers: What's with all these sickening names?
Inuyasha: I like em, Sesshy Wesshy.
Lor: Without further ado…here's A Dragon's Blessing Chapter 4!
A Dragon's Blessing
Chapter 4: Is It Edible?
Yugi was sitting with Koga, Ginta, and Hakkaku around the fire. They had found some firewood and set it ablaze with Yugi's "magic fire sticks". (Don't ask me why she randomly has matches…) Koga was cooking some kind of foreign meat on a skewer over it and the smoke turned purple. (O.o") Yugi then told the demons about her world and the well.
"So let me get this strait…" Koga started. "You're from another world and came here through that old well." She nodded. "And your friend, Mizumaru, might be here too?" She nodded again.
Ginta sighed. "This is no place for two defenseless human girls."
"Hey! Says who! We can defend ourselves fine!" Yugi had her finger in the surprised demon's face. "For your information, I took three years of kendo, two years of karate, and four years of taijutsu! And Mizu-chan took five years of kendo, one year of karate, and three years of taijutsu! I think we are perfectly capable of taking care of ourselves! We ain't no wimps!"
"Ok! Ok! Geeze!" Koga shouted. "Anyways, you don't know how to fight demons. Those are the only real skills you need here." He then poked the meat with the stick in his hand. "Foods done."
"Alright! I'm starved!" Cheered Yugi. She sank her teeth into the weird and hopefully good-tasting meat. Her eyes widened in horror and her face turned a sickly shade of green.
"Yuck! NASTY!"
"What?" asked the three wolves in union. They had already eaten over half their meat.
"How can you eat this stuff? Is it even edible!"
"I know I'm not the best cook but…"
"Koga, what is this stuff!"
"Rat demon."
"……" Yugi slowly directed her eyes her meal and set it down.
"What's your deal?
"I just ate a fricken rat!"
"So? Its meat."
"No! Its rat!"
"Meat!"
"Rat!"
"MEAT!"
"RAAAT!"
(My heart goes out to all you Yuki fans (from Fruits Basket) ….Yuki-kun…noooo!
Sesshy: -.-" You wrote it….hey! What the hell kind of name is Sesshy!)
-------------------------------------------------
Mizumaru sighed, "I'm lost…this forest goes on forever!" She had followed a trail of fresh blood, but it had stopped a while back. Rays of light shown through the trees as the young woman came to a small clearing.
"Ningen onna, it would be ill-advised to follow me." A deep voice said in her ear. Mizumaru spun around to find herself face to face with the injured man from before. He was looking strait ahead as if she wasn't there with his emotionless eyes.
"Hey, you! What was your deal back there! I was just trying to help you!" (" Not a good idea…)
He didn't reply and didn't even seem to have acknowledged her words. Mizumaru was about to speak again when he said, "Hn. I do not require a human's help."
Well, it looked like you did to me…" Mizumaru whispered to herself. The man's eyes narrowed dangerously and he walked right past her.
"H-hey! Please, I have some questions I need to ask you! Please!" He kept on walking. There was a large anger mark on Mizumaru's forehead. "Wait up!" And he kept on goin'…
"Could you stop for just a second, please?" She was now reduced to begging…and he kept on going and going and going…along with Mizumaru's patience. But she just took a deep breath to calm herself and followed him through the forest.
--------------------------------------
Sesshomaru's eyes looked strait ahead. 'That pathetic human girl is still following me.' The oddly dressed shojo had been close behind him for an hour strait. 'Her weak human body will tire soon…still…why do I not finish her off? She had the nerve to talk to me and she doesn't fear me enough…' Yet he still did not turn around to strike her. And that bothered the crap outta him!
----------------------------------------
Even after 30 minutes or arguing, Koga and Yugi were too stubborn to stop.
"A RAT is NOT MEAT!"
"YES it is!"
"Well, it SURE wasn't EDIBLE!"
"It tasted FINE!"
Their voices were getting tired so they only could shout some of the words.
--------------------------------------
'Geeze! Does this guy ever rest!' Mizumaru had been keeping up with the strange man for two hours now and she was far too determined to give up now, though her legs disagreed. Beads of sweat were forming on her brow and matted her bangs to her forehead. The two were soon in a seemingly endless field with tall, luscious grass that seemed to dance in the wind.
All of a sudden, the silver-haired man had stopped. Mizumaru halted a few meters behind him…just to be safe. She looked around to see what he had stopped for.
"SESSHOMARU-SAMAAAAA!"
A young child's voice rang from beyond the hill in front of the two. A girl around the age of seven ran towards the demon lord and clung onto his leg. She was clad in a bright reddish-orange yukata and didn't have shoes on. Her wild black hair fell to her hips and part of it was tied into a small ponytail near the top of her head. Her innocent chocolate eyes gleamed with the hope and playfulness of a young girl."
"Lord Sesshomaru, you've finally returned! Rin is so happy! She tightened her grip on Sesshy's (heh heh) leg.
'This kid isn't going to live very long!', thought Mizumaru as she looked at the girl with wonder and worry. The man called Sesshomaru stood there, still emotionless.
"Off, Rin." He commanded. The girl complied, still happily smiling. She then spotted the teenager behind her beloved lord.
"Hi. Lady! My names Rin! What yours?"
"Hi, Rin-chan. My name's Mizumaru Shindo."
"Rin likes that name! Are you Sesshomaru-sama's friend?" Mizumaru looked at the silver haired man who gave her a glare.
"Er…not really…" she sweatdropped. The child walked up and felt Mizumaru's shirt material.
"Rin has never seen clothes like these before."
Mizumaru smiled warmly, immediately taking a liking to the girl. (Who wouldn't?)
"Well, I'm actually from-"
"Wait up, Rin!" A squeaky and annoying voice echoed from the hill. "You should learn to WALK!" There was that voice again! But Mizumaru couldn't find the source. The 17 year old looked around wildly.
"Oh! My lord, you're back! ...who's the wench?" Mizumaru's head shot down to see a greenish toad-looking imp about the size of a fire hydrant. He wore a brown outfit and had yellow eyes and the face of a frog. (Wait…that's an insult to frogs!) She screamed and kicked the imp across the field! (Field goal! 3 points!)
"What…was that?" Mizumaru asked.
"Oh, he's Jaken, the servant of Sesshomaru-sama."
"oh…heh heh…oops." Mizumaru sweatdropped.
'Maybe this girl is ok after all.' Sesshomaru thought amusedly, though his face didn't show it.
---------------------------------------
The sun had fallen as quickly as it had risen and set Japan into darkness. A fire cracked at its kinder and lit a camp in a forest's clearing. A slight breeze brushed past the odd group of campers and blew ashes into the dark abyss. The demon lord rested against a large tree. His amber eyes seemed to glow as the light from the flickering fire danced before him. His keen nose was searching through the wilderness for any signs of bothersome youkai. The forest was clear of any threat…not that Sesshomaru couldn't take them. He directed his attention to the human girl that sat next to Rin, his eyes scanning over her every detail. This 'Mizumaru' seemed human enough, but a strange aura circulated around the girl. Finally curiosity killed the cat…er dog.
"Ningen, where do you come from?" Sesshomaru asked, not making eye contact or even looking in her general direction.
"Huh?" Mizumaru looked up in surprise. "So that's what your voice sounds like. I was beginning to think you forgot how to speak…" Mizumaru stated looking up into the sparkling sky. Sesshomaru's glare demanded her to answer him. "Well…I come from Earth…" His glare deepened. "In Japan…um?"
"What village?" Sesshomaru said calmly although his teeth were gritted.
"Well, its called Yokohama…but that's not the issue. The thing is, I come from another world. My world has no demons and we dress like this. I'm not sure how I got here, but I believe it has something to do with a well…"
After explaining chapter 2, Mizumaru paused to look at the group. Sesshomaru seemed unaffected, yet deep in thought, but Rin and Jaken stared wide-eyed at Mizumaru.
-------------------------------------
"Wow…"
–Poke- -Poke-
Rin and Jaken had been poking a sweatdropping Mizumaru for over an hour while giving her a never-ending interrogation.
"How do you get around?"
-Poke- -Poke-
"Lots of ways… there are cars, bicycles, trains, air planes, walking…"
"Wooooow! What are those!"
-Poke- -Poke-
"…Well…
--------------------------------------------------
Taijutsu- I'm not sure if this is a real martial art…I got it from Naruto. (It's what Rock Lee uses) Anyways…it deals with a lot of physical force by uses of punches and kicks.
Shojo- Girl/female

Lor: Stop complaining!
Fluffy Wuffy: I won't even say anything…

Sessh-kun: Only if he suffers…Sessh-kun….You're running out of ideas aren't you?
Lor: Maybe… -.-"
