Chapter 11: Inu-Yasha meets Buyo (the fat lazy cat.)

----------

Buyo the cat yawned. Buyo the cat stretched. Buyo the cat got up... (Okay, can we just fast-forward a little bit?)

Now what the heck was this?

Buyo looked up at the strange object that was on the couch.

Hmmm... What in the world could it be?

Suddenly, the thing groaned and it twitched.

Ack! It's moving!

Buyo watched for a minute more. The thing made no more movements.

Is it still alive? No, no wait... Dang, it's still breathing.

"Mow..."

----------

Inu-Yasha awoke when he heard the most unearthly sound imaginable. He quickly sat up and looked around but couldn't figure out what had made the strange noise.

"Mow..."

There it was again! Behind him! Inu-Yasha spun around to find...

Nothing.

"Hmph!"

"Mow..."

"What the-?!"

Inu-Yasha turned around once again and came face to face with the fattest lump of fur he had ever seen. It stared back at him with beady yellow-green eyes. It looked somewhat like Kirara... but not really when you thought about it.

"Mow..."

Geez, it sounded like a dying animal or something. Maybe it was dying.

The furball (or more accurately butterball) on the floor flicked its tail. Inu-Yasha locked stares with it and narrowed his golden eyes. The butterball narrowed its yellow-green eyes. Inu-Yasha narrowed his eyes. Butterball narrowed his. Inu-Yasha raised an eyebrow. Butterball... no, wait, it didn't have eyebrows. Inu-Yasha continued to stare at Butterball and Butterball continued to stare back. This went on for nearly an hour until finally Inu-Yasha jumped up, clutching his burning eyes. After blinking a few thousand times and he could see clearly again, he glanced back at Butterball, who was still staring at the spot where Inu-Yasha's face had been moments before.

'What the-?'

"Hello! Staring contest is over! What's wrong with you?!"

Butterball made no movements. Inu-Yasha waved his hand in front of Butterball's face. Still no movements. Inu-Yasha poked it in the side. Butterball fell over. And lay motionless.

'Oh, crap! I think I killed it!'

Suddenly, Butterball yawned, rolled over, and closed its eyes. Inu- Yasha twitched.

"Hey, you! How dare you fall asleep with your eyes open! You can't do that to me!"

When Butterball made no response, Inu-Yasha kicked it. Apparently, the thing had too much fat protecting it to feel anything. As Inu-Yasha angrily approached it, he accidentally stepped on it's tail. Butterball yowled and launched itself at Inu-Yasha.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

----------

Buyo leapt off of Inu-Yasha and admired his handiwork. Inu-Yasha was covered in scratches from head to foot and was currently in a state of stunned shock.

Yep, that would just about do it.

Happily, Buyo plodded off to find a nice place to nap.

Inu-Yasha stood staring into space for a moment. Eventually, he toddled over to the phone. Kagome had finally thought to give him her cell phone number in case of an emergency. He picked up the phone and punched in the numbers.

"Hello?

"Hey, Kagome," Inu-Yasha said, his voice cracking a little. "I was just wondering... where do you keep your bandages?"
