Nekoyashi

A Feudal Fanfiction

Chapter 4

Hojo, Nekoyashi, Rin and Jaken's travels with Sesshomaru had lead them to a strange sight: a toad with goat horns. The toad sat on a rock staring despondently, as if in a trance. "Can I eat it, Lord Sesshomaru?" Asked Nekoyashi. "If you can catch it." Replied Sesshomaru. Nekoyashi lunged at the foad with her claws poised to strike; the toad simply sat there, unperturbed, as Nekoyashi fell backwards as soon as she caught it. Nekoyashi climbed a tree and leaped down from onto the toad, and again she fell backwards. Neko grabbed the toad with one hand and fell backwards once again. Nekoyash clawed the toad and even then she fell backwards. Out of options, Nekoyashi decided it was best not to try to bite it. "You have managed to slightly amuse me, toad. I have not seen yokai like yours in one so small.", declared Sesshomaru. "Amused? But of course. You are not aware of my true purpose. I can see into the future. Ask any one question you want answered.", replied the horned toad. "A fortune teller," scoffed Sesshomaru, "hardly worth my time." Sesshomaru walked away from the toad, with Jaken, Rin, Nekoyashi, and Hojo following him. The toad snickered behind them.

As Sesshomaru and his followers pressed on through the woods, Nekoyashi hummed with her finger on her chin. Rin giggled. "You hum like you're purring." "Well, I am half nekoyoukai.", she replied. Jaken snorted. "You are lucky Lord Sesshomaru took mercy upon you. He does not like half-breeds." "Enough.", Sesshomaru said. "I resurrected you two because I decided you could be useful to me. Hojo: I sense the powers of a Shinto priest in you. Nekoyashi: I sense great agility in you, despite your failure to capture that insolent toad." Rin giggled again. "That would have made two insolent toads." Jaken scowled and clenched his scaly hands in fists. "Are you talking about me, little girl? You had better watch your tongue, or I will cut it off." At that moment Sesshomaru's ears perked up, a look of hatred and anger came over his face, and he turned back and ripped into Jaken with his poison claw. Jaken dissolved into a lickspittle of muck. Hojo and Nekoyashi's eyes swelled up with fear. They knew now knew how much he cared about that little girl that followed him and how far he would go to protect her. And yet, they did not know the half of it.
