Recap-----

"Excuse me. What's your name?"

Sesshomaru was taken aback at the ningen's dare to actually talk, to talk to him, Sesshomaru, so casually. How dare he...

"It's none of your business, ningen," Sesshomaru hissed, narrowing his eyes.

The human stared at him.

"You talk as if you're not a human."

"Who said I had to be?" Challenged Sesshomaru.

The ningen glared at him for a few seconds, and then reached over to pull something of his waist. Sesshomaru tensed, seeing what this would do. However, the human only spoke a few words into it, and put it back onto his belt.

Within half a minute, the same, screaming siren shrieked through darkness, coming closer. Others were coming.

What is going on?!

Now-----

"We have a suspicious person here on 1400 Robina Street. Over," spoke the handheld transceiver.

Officer Goldstein frowned. Yet another case so soon again? He sighed. Oh, well. That was his job, anyway.

"I'm coming. Over."

-----

Sesshomaru and the ningen waited as approaching sirens appeared over a hill. Who- who is this human that dared to challenge me? He treats me like he's my equal, as if I, Sesshomaru, would sink to insect level. If that are his thoughts, he will not live to see the sunrise. Sesshomaru jolted back to reality as doors opened in other strange creatures. Ningens stepped out, all of them dressed similar to the first ningen.

"What's going on?" Asked one of the ningens.

On one of the second ningen's gold stars pinned to his shirt, Sesshomaru could see the words "Officer Goldstein" printed out. That must be his name. And the first ningen must be Officer Smith. It's on one of his badges.

"This human acts like he's not one of our race, and he refuses to answer my questions. He's dressed oddly, too."

Officer Goldstein looked Sesshomaru up and down. Sesshomaru shifted, a little uncomfortable.

"Take your filthy eyes off me," he hissed, surprised he hadn't done this earlier.

Officer Goldstein's eyes revealed a little shock. This ningen must really want to go to prison... But no matter. He would handcuff this strange human, just to be safe.

"Yamete!!" Growled Sesshomaru, running his claws down the ningen's face, as Officer Goldstein nearly handcuffed him.

Without really wanting to, Sesshomaru released his acid whip, literally chopping Officer Goldstein into two halves. The other ningens froze in complete shock. He... he... he...

However, Sesshomaru was blind to all of this. He nearly transformed out of rage. How dare such a lowly ant even lay part of their eyes on him!! On him, Sesshomaru, the taiyoukai of the Western Lands!!! He hadn't sunk that low yet!!

But a few sounds and a familiar smell stopped him. Looking up, Sesshomaru saw one of the ningens holding a gun out, pointed at him, with both hands on it. A gun... it looks like technology has gotten better. In Sesshomaru's era, it was extremely hard to get a gun without the king's permission. And the guns were huge back then. The future really has gotten better.

"Put your hands up and no one gets hurt!!" the ningen shouted, but his voice was quavering.

Sesshomaru almost snorted. Put his hands up?? What an extremely baka idea. He could kill a youkai with a single, deadly glare if he wished. He remained unmoving.

"I'll shoot!! This is your last warning!!!" Yelled the ningen.

Still, Sesshomaru did not respond. Suddenly, a large, echoing sound rebounded into the mountains at the same time Sesshomaru felt a piercing pain on his left shoulder, and a bit of his clothes ripped off, exposing the part where he'd been shot. Glancing at it, Sesshomaru saw that is was already healing. He turned his attention to the officers now, really annoyed. The other ningens were all staring in shock at Sesshomaru's abilities.

Officer Smith kept on switching his eyes from Officer Goldstein's dead body to the thing that had killed him.

What is this creature?!!
