Chapter 2 : A Fuzzy Argument

Michelle jumped down from the tree and stood next to the funny looking school girl.

"well? What did you say?" kagome asked.

"I gave him a lot to think about. It will probably take a while for him to come down."

"think about? What did you say to him?"

"all I did was explain to him why he's got to let kikyou go and……"

"you told him to let kikyou go!??!"

"yeah."

Kagome let out a long sigh. "are you out of your mind? Now he'll never come down. Why did you say that anyway?"

Michelle looked around and sniffed the air.

"michelle???"

Just then a little a small animal ran out of the bushes and into michelle's arms.

"Fajii! What are you doing here!" fajji was a little three tailed dog demon, no more than 1 ½ feet tall. She was beige and brown and had red markings on her cheeks, legs, and tails. Her eyes were brown. The little dog was yipping and barking with joy, and michelle was pretty much doing the same thing. "I thought I would never see you again!" michelle said while nuzzling the little dog.

"um…. Who is that?" kags asked.

"who? Fajii? This is my pet. Wanna hold her?"

"sure!"

"okay, here you go." michelle then handed her the little demon. "careful, and fajii no biting."

Kagome took the dog and went to sit down under a near by tree, michelle soon followed.

"oh my god, fajii!" michelle said to her. "I thought I might never see you again! I thought you had gotten killed by erif!" the dog then jumped into michelle's arm.

"so, were did you get him?" kags asked curiously.

"well, my father gave her to me just last year. For my 16th birthday. She was such a clumsy pet at first. She would go around our hut and break vases and glasses, at one time she accidentally broke something of my fathers, boy was he mad. Luckily, nothing we had was very expensive, or worth much. fajii! don't do that!" fajii was beginning to scratch michelle's dress.

"doesn't fajii mean 'fuzzy?"

"yes. Fajii! don't!"

"why did you pick that?"

"well, when she was a pup, she was so fuzzy and 'poofy'! it was so funny. We would be sitting down and all of a sudden we would see a little fuzz ball walking across the room."

The two girls started to laugh, fajii just barked to get michelle's attention.

"okay, okay. I'm sorry girl. I didn't mean that in a mean way." she picked up the little dog but almost dropped her when she saw someone step in front of her. Michelle and kagome both looked up.

"Inu…inuyasha?"

"I hope you know that mutt isn't coming with us."

"hey! I wouldn't talk to loud over there! If you haven't forgot you're part dog too, mutt face!"

"heh! You're a half breed too!!!"

"I don't care! You're the one who's acting stubborn!"

"stubborn!??! Of all people…."

"don't start with me! I am not in the mood dog boy its either you shut your mouth and walk away like a good dog, or we can do it the hard way! And trust me you don't want to do that! Come along fajii."

"hey were are you going?" inuyasha asked. "your not gunna walk away like a fraidy- cat?" michelle whipped around.

"what?"

"yeah, go on and walk away, fraidy-cat. Maybe….." then michelle smacked him across the face, leaving a red hand mark behind it.

"maybe huh? maybe you should watch the way you talk to women."

"heh."

"what was that?"

"nothing! Just….just…..just…. Lets go." he then stormed off in front of the girls.

"you see." kagome whispered.

"yeah, I see." michelle whispered back. "come on Fajii!" then the three tailed demon dog followed michelle and kagome. Trotting along side the chatting girls fajii got board of listening to them so decided to run up next to inuyasha.

She yipped.

"what are you lookin' at?" he snarled.

"yip!"

"bark bark to you too. Now shut up!"

"bark."

"shut up okay!"

Fajii growled back at him with a dirty look, he replied with the same thing.

"inuyasha, knock it off. For crying out loud. Your arguing with my dog."

"well, she started it!"

"no she didn't. I was right behind you."

"so, its still her fault."

"yeah, whatever you say."

"hey," kagome interrupted. "you should really get that checked out."

"what checked out?"

"that wound, its like……bubbling."

They all looked at michelle's stomach. It was bleeding again, only this time it was bubbling. The bubbles oozed out slowly and one landed an the grass below. The grass instantly started to ''burn'' like an acid was pored onto it.

"EEEEEK!!!" the girls screamed.

"whoa. Yeah you better go and get that checked out." inuyasha insisted.

"who though? I don't know any 'medical' people." inuyasha then got down and sniffed the spot were the ''acid'' had fell.

"its some type of dragon poison." he said.

"dragon poison?" the girls asked.

"yep."

"dragon poison?" michelle asked again. "but….oh no."

"what is it? Did you encounter some sort of dragon demon before you started to annoy me?"

"erif."

"who?"

"erif. The demon that we battled about an hour ago."

"he wasn't a dragon demon!"

"yes he was! he just could eliminate the evidence. Like he could hide his wings and horns and he always tried to cover his ears with his hair."

"well, it looks like to me when he attacked you he injected some kind of poison, most likely given to him by naraku."

"okay, then where should I go?"

"well, I suppose I could take you you see kiate."

"kiate?"

"but I think I'll just let you die, it'll save me a trip.''

"INUYASHA SIT!!!!!" kagome yelled. Inuyasha went flying face first into the ground, leaving an imprint were he landed.

"I'll take you to see kiate, you don't want this jerk escorting you anywhere."

"okay."

The two girl then walked off, with inuyasha and fajii soon following.

"hold on, I need to rest a moment." michelle said leaning against a tree. Her breaths were short and she could feel some numbness in her legs. She closed her eyes and slowly lowered herself to the ground. Her pain was more intense now.

"michelle? Are you okay?"

No answer.

"michelle?"

"I'm fine, this is nothing……. You go on ……I can smell the village from here…..I'll be fine……"

"well then come on." inuyasha insisted.

"no, she needs our help."

"she's to stubborn! She wont let us help her anyway!"

"sound familiar? Michelle are you sure your okay?"

"I'm fine!" she yelled. She put her hand on her knee. 'I cant fell my legs! My stomach hurts, my head is pounding,'

"guys?"

"huh?" inuyasha and kagome looked at her.

"I cant winches from pain I cant feel anything, my head is pounding, winces again I don't think I can make it."

"inuyasha, can you carry her?"

"WHAT!!!! ARE YOU OUTTA YOUR FREAKIN' MIND!!!???!!!???!!!"

"inuyasha, she needs us and you're the only one that can get her there."

"no."

"don't make me say it."

"uh………fine." he bends down and sets the now unconscious half demon onto his back.

"you owe me for this half breed big time!"
