Tired of growling and being ignored, Sesshomaru decided to death glare the woman.
Feeling the angry eyes burn holes in her back, from the intensity of the stare, the woman gave up." What? You didn't think I would just let u go did you?", she said putting up a cute pout.
The angry feline was staring at her, silently demanding for answers.
"C'mon you must admit that I was pretty lenient with you. I should have killed you for the disrespect you showed me." She said with a smile.
` I would rather be dead than trapped in this body`, he thought.
"Yes but then where would the fun be? You should be grateful that I didn't put you in a human's body since you hate them so much."
Sesshomaru was surprised as he realized that she could hear his thoughts. However, he adapted quickly.
`And you think being a lowly CAT demon is better than a human? Wait, actually it is`. He thought absently,for a split second forgetting that his thoughts were not just his own at the moment.
"See? I'm not that bad as u thought" she said with a wide happy smile. Sesshomaru found the smile extremely disturbing.
"Well as a human you would be able to speak, and I don't want that of course." Tsuyukomi flashed another damn smile at the angry feline." You should be grateful I gave you a cute appearance." The fallen god approached Sesshomaru, hoping to pet his head again." Now don't be so shy. I only want to scratch you behind the ears." she whined, as he moved away from her touch.
Understanding that the woman won't be any help, or change her mind about his punishment, Sesshomaru walked away. He understood he will need to find help somewhere else. He would be rid of this body even if it killed him.
As he walked out of the garden, he could still hear the muffed laughter form the mentally instable woman… man or god …whatever it was... he was confused now.
Right after Sesshomaru left the property, he felt an incredible pressure on himself, and he face planted on the ground. He saw everything around him fade to black, as darkness overtook him.
He was already out, when the human woman came next to him, kneeled down by his side and started to pet his head.
" Now demon lord, you overstayed your welcome..."
The peaceful state Sesshomaru was in, was disrupted by an annoying feeling in the back of his head. Danger. He opened his golden eyes, taking in his surroundings. In the middle of a clearing, surrounded by forest from all sides, the demonic cat lifted his heavy head to look around and adjust his eyes to the strong light of the afternoon.
He was not surprised to find himself in a totally random place. He was aware that dealing with a twisted god couldn't be good.
The demon lord needed to make sure he was on safe ground first. By the smell, he could tell he was on his territory, the Western Lands.
He got quickly on his feet, looking for Rin and Jaken. Unable to find them, he started sniffing the air for what danger the surrounding forest might hide.
A mighty roar shook the very ground he was standing on. Anxiously looking for the source of the howl, his eyes were scanning the surrounding bushes.
A very big, angry demon boar broke through the trees in front of him.
Impressive silver tusks, were uprooting the trees making way for the imposing beast. Brown fur, stained with blood, was hosting countless worms which were feasting on the bore's flesh.
White eyes showed that he was blind. Squealing while dragging his rotten flesh across the forest, the bore sensed Sesshomaru at his hooves. The small feline fought the urge to stay and fight the restless creature. He made a run for it. Sesshomaru was no fool, and knew that he would not stand a chance in the pitiful condition that he was in.
The chase was on. Having a smaller form, the demon lord could easily slide between the trees, while the undead boar had to destroy the forest to advance. There was simply no other way to go through the thick forest. The undead creature was too big to go under the trees, and too small to jump over them.
With the feeling of wind tickling his fur, he leapt forward, again and again, enjoying the feeling. It has been so long since he felt like this.
The beast was large, but not had to think of something to rid himself of the undead foe.
Exiting the forest, he sniffed the air. Luckily, his senses were not affected by the body transformation.
The taiyoukai inhaled the air as he ran. He smelled a human village nearby, and then he felt a stench so familiar to him.
Inuyasha was known to help and protect humans.Sesshomaru quickly formulated a plan to use his brother.
The high pitched, terrifying squeal, behind Sesshomaru let him know that the boar was gaining distance. He needed to make it to the village where his half brother was located, so Inuyasha would kill the boar for him.
He would never rely on Inuyasha for anything, but right now, he just seemed to be the best option he had. He wanted to live… at least until he regained his previous form as a taiyoukai. He didn't want to die as a lowly cat. It was disgraceful.
Another roar and Sesshomaru was in the air. He could see droplets of crimson liquid leaking from his belly. He was impaled in one of the tusks, and thrown upwards.
"Inuyasha! That thing has two Shikon jewels in his snout!", a feminine voice screamed somewhere in the background.
"Feh. Thanks for brining the jewels to us asshole." Inuyasha shouted, as he was swinging his sword, poised to unleash the wind scar.
Even in his state, Sesshomaru could recognize the annoying, overzealous voice of his half brother.
Sesshomaru watched the group defeat the abomination. Apparently, the enraged demon was controlled by the Shikon jewels, explaining his undead state.
The demon slayer rode on a fire cat, throwing her huge boomerang, slashing through beast's head. Right after, came Inuyasha's wind scar. Having his massive head split into two, and limbs barely connecting with the main body, the demon still wouldn't go down.
Right after the attack, the group was stunned to see regrouping under the boar's skin, sewing its body together once more.
Sesshomaru let out a strangled cry of pain, as he tried to move away from the battlefield, not wishing to be accidentally cut to pieces by his brother's appetite for destruction. He was not used to his new body and its functions, hence the uncontrollable moan. Painting a red trail with his own blood, he looked back at the battle zone.
Inuyasha was unleashing wind scars, the monk was throwing sutras on its forehead, and the demon slayer was slashing through the demon with boomerang. Then, a sacred arrow pierced the boar's snout. It glowed a bright shade of pink and white before it was absorbed by the creature.
Now the disgusting creature had his blind eye on Kagome. Inuyasha leaped in front of the boar, and used Adamant barrage, hoping to distract him. The boar, thoroughly cut, was still regenerating, only slower. The worms where the sacred arrow and the sutras hit, were now gone, exposing the bone and the insides of the demon.
"Lady Kagome!" the monk shouted." Keep shooting arrows where the sacred jewels are! I'll follow your lead with sutras. If the shards fall from its head, I can use my wind tunnel"
A shy nod from the futuristic miko, and the arrows started raining." Inuyasha please act as a decoy" she pleaded. "Whatever, as long as I'll have the last hit".
As the sutras were flying the same direction as the sacred arrows, at the demon's snout, the terrifying creature let out a deafening squeal of pain.
That was it. Two extremely tainted shards fell to the ground. Right after that, the boar's body turned into a big pile of squirming worms.
Kagome fought the urge to throw up. Under no circumstances she was going to stick her hand in the pile of worms to retrieve the sacred shards.
"What's wrong Kagome? Afraid of a few worms?", Inuyasha teased with a smirk on his face, as he grabbed a handful of squirming, white worms, and started walking towards Kagome.
Kagome's face turned a strange shade of green, and threw up right on her shoes. Inuyasha's smirk turned into a full fledged laughter, still holding the disgusting worms.
After having shown to the world the contents of her stomach, Kagome wiped her lips with the back of her palm, and whispered under her breath the forbidden word.
In that moment, Inuyasha wished he didn't have such good hearing. After Kagome said the word, without delay, the half demon took his rightful place on the battered ground. With his face in the dirt, Inuyasha felt multiple pairs of eyes burning in his back. Apparently no one else found the prank funny.
Somewhere away from the bubbly group, in spite of his pain, Sesshomaru found the view amusing. His half brother subdued by a very angry human girl, was a sight which he would engrave in his memory.
The angry miko wanted to repeat the command a few more times, but she needed to convince the hanyou to withdraw the shards from the disgusting pile since hey... he had no problem sticking his hands in the worms. So there shouldn't be any reason for him to refuse.
"No! You do it yourself!" Inuyasha answered, crossing his arms in front of his chest. Twitching his ears, he eavesdropped on the whispered conversation between Sango and Miroku.
"Hey stop talking about me you jerks! You know I can hear you!" Inuyasha defended.
Sango gave him a cold look. Miroku walked up to Inuyasha, and dragged him for a private conversation to explain him the ways of a woman's heart.
They would be back fast, and both girls knew it. Inuyasha couldn't stand long the perverted lectures about women, which he was always receiving from the lecherous monk.
Kagome looked through her gigantic overcrowded bag for a pair of gloves. Success was hers. She didn't have any gloves, but she found a plastic bag, in which she covered her hand, and felt for the Shikon jewels.
The sun was already setting, and the group searched for a water source to make camp. They just couldn't reenter the village as dirty as they were. They would get dirty looks from everyone.
As if the people here are the ones to speak about personal hygiene `, Kagome thought with amusement.
They looked for a nearby river or hot spring and made camp nearby.
Meanwhile, not so far away from the group, a very irritated demon lord was looking for the same thing. He would never lower himself to actually lick his fur clean. Lick his wound, yes, since his saliva would heal faster the wound. He would find a hot spring to bathe, and that was final.
Sesshomaru found what he desired, and entered the hot spring. It was pretty deep for his stature now, but he found himself a rock where to sit, and keep his head out of the steaming water.
He tried to meditate, to soothe his anger, irritation and other negative feelings going through him now.
Remembering how he got himself in this pitiful situation, he replayed in his mind every moment he spent in that cursed village. Trying to understand what made the god angry; he could find no fault in himself.
Then he recalled the moment when he attempted to snap the woman's neck. She warned him that he would pay for the blasphemy. Back then he didn't pay attention to the threat. He would always receive empty threats and he considered it as such, coming from what seemed to be a human woman.
Then it all made sense. He was going to be punished and the god was just indecisive about his punishment. That is why he was invited over a cup of tea. It was only to buy herself time to think. He was actually certain that he took on the catty appearance right after he sat up to leave. That explains the evil grins the fallen god was showing off.
His train of thought was interrupted by two vaguely familiar female voices approaching the hot spring.
"Come on Sango. Are you sure you wouldn't want Miroku to keep you company in the hot spring instead of me?" Kagome was teasing her best was turning a deep shade of red.
"Stop it Kagome. You know how he never passes a chance to feel up the girls we encounter. Not to mention he didn't ask me to have his baby… Out of all the girls I'm the only one he didn't ask that." Kagome eyed her best friend with a failed attempt not to giggle.
"Aww… you want to have his baby." The miko was pushing her luck this time.
In return, Kagome only got a mild glare from her friend.
"I'm sorry Sango. I was only joking. I didn't realize you have serious feelings for the pervert."
The demon slayer only gave her a nod, still red as a beetroot. The girls entered the clearing of the hot spring.
Sesshomaru watched the two females with growing irritation. Normally, his presence would be felt from afar, but now, they didn't sense him as he was so close to them. They didn't even notice him in the water.
As the two unsuspecting females started to undress, it was the last drop.
Sesshomaru started growling low, not wishing to be slain by the human girl named Sango. He saw her in battle and she seemed pretty fierce for a human.
Both girls startled. Sango instantly stiffened, placing a hand on her boomerang, and Kagome threw her hands on herself, covering her naked torso.
Looking around quickly, the girls couldn't pinpoint the direction of the growl. They Checked the forest, but not the water. Annoyed, the demon lord hissed at them, rippling the water.
Both humans snapped their heads at him instantly. He was pleased to finally catch their eye. The slayer, as suspected made a move to launch her boomerang. He immediately jumped out of the water, white fur sticking to his body.
In battle stance, the slayer and the cat demon were ready to launch at each other's throats, only to be interrupted by a sudden burst of laughter.
Kagome, now fully dressed, was laughing violently pointing at the overgrown cat.
Oblivious to the fact that he was the cause of the sudden manifestation of mirth, Sesshomaru growled again, making the girl laugh even harder.
"Kagome what are you laughing at?" Sango asked, confusion painted all over her face.
" t-The cat… oh my god!", Kagome was trying hard to overcome her laughing fit" The- This looks like one of those videos on the internet with wet angry cats…" Kagome convulsed with laughter.
The demon slayer, now affected by her friend's infectious laugh, started chuckling, finally noticing how funny the demon cat looked like when hissing at them. It was impossible to take the challenge seriously now. The demon cat was just too cute. The huge white fluffy head with the pink nose and evil eyes glaring at them… wait, the evil glares were not cute ...
Thoroughly confused, Sesshomaru moved back to his spot in the hot water. He was getting slightly cold, and his would was bothering him a little. He felt his pain subside under the warm water.
He decided that ignoring them would be the best. They would surely leave, seeing as the hot spring already had one occupant.
He couldn't be more wrong.
"Sango, I saw the demon before", Kagome said with a worried look on her face. "The boar from today was chasing this fuzzy guy here. I'm happy to see that he's better", she smiled.
"Kagome-chan, that is a full fledged cat demon. I've seen only a few before, because they are very withdrawn as a species."
"What about Kirara? Isn't she a cat demon also?" the girl asked hopefully.
"Yes she is. But she lived with humans. She was domesticated."
"It probably tries to ignore us. It is quite strange. I have never seen before a demon that bathes. God, even Inuyasha barely bathes, and he is half human...", Kagome thought out loud.
Sango chuckled.
Kagome jumped out of her clothes, in her bathing suit, and dived in the hot spring. Her friend was reluctant to bathe now. It just seemed wrong. The basin was large enough but she just couldn't bathe wile there was a damned cat demon in the water.
"Kagome I won't get in the water with the cat." Sango sat on the bank of the hot spring, with a hand on her boomerang, watching friend enjoy the water.
Said cat, was only getting angrier, when he came here intending to calm down. He couldn't help but feel almost offended. Usually females would kill to get in a hot spring with him and now a human wouldn't get in just because he was there.
He had enough. He didn't want to put up with the annoying females so he decided to be the smart one, and leave first. Actually they looked like they had no intention to leave pretty soon.
He stood up from his rock, swam to the shore, passed the seated human and then he just had a brilliant idea.
Instead of walking further to shake the water off his fur, he just did it next to the slayer. Yes. He was pleased.
Now soaked in her clothes, Sango let out an annoyed squeal. Kagome swore she saw a glint of mischief in the cat demon's eyes.
Author's Note:
Finally Kagome meets Sesshomaru, even though she's quite unaware of it yet muahahaha *evil smile*
