Officer Smith had been alerted. Ever since two days ago, he'd been trembling with fear at the strange creature that had appeared on the sidewalk and killed his boss. It would be hard to replace Officer Goldstein. But this time, he was ready. He wouldn't let the others down. Stepping out of his car, he froze at the sight of his worst and most terrifying nightmare. Sesshomaru. Officer Smith was the only one who knew this creature's name. But now, he was ready to tear onto Planet X while peeing in his pants. Iie, iie, iie. Kudasai, kami help me!!
The other police officers had also froze in their positions at the sight of another encounter with it. A crowd was beginning to gather, while the original ningens waited with baited breath as their eyes flickered from Sesshomaru's bared fangs to his iron claws and deadly, amber gaze. Officer Smith knew everyone was counting on him, and that made him take a step forward to Pluto. He was about to take a very shaky step forward when three voices rang out at the same time.
One was a clear, onnanoko's voice. Another was a croaky voice. And the last was a mature otokonoko's voice. They all cried out the same thing.
"Sesshomaru-sama!!"
Now-----
Would someone explain what in the world is going on here?!
That question rang into the minds of everyone who was watching, even the policemen who knew about Sesshomaru. Rin, Jaken, and Kohaku, thought Sesshomaru vaguely. How did they get here?
"Sesshomaru-sama!! We finally found you!!" Cried Rin.
She tried to run past the circle of policemen, but they stopped her.
"Onnanoko, be careful!! This is not a game! Where are your parents?"
Rin's lips turned into a sad smile. She pointed up into the heavens.
"There."
The police stared.
"Enough," Growled Sesshomaru, baring his fangs slightly. "Move aside, filthy ningens."
"Excuse me, but what did you just call me?" A teen girl's voice rose up from the silent watchers.
Sesshomaru glared at her. The girl's insult died, and she muttered to herself, "Man, he's hot!!"
Sesshomaru, not knowing what "hot" meant at that time (if he did, he would stamp her to death), turned his attention back to Rin. The police were already letting her, Jaken, Ah-Un, and Kohaku pass.
"Sesshomaru-sama, daijobu desu ka?!! Those insects didn't hurt you, did they?!!" Yelled Jaken.
A hard kick sent the imp youkai sailing over the head of the humans and smashing into a nearby tree.
"Maahhh, itaaaaiiii!!" Moaned Jaken before promptly falling unconscious.
-----
So... four more oddities, thought Officer Smith. He looked back and forth at the new appearances. There was a hyper, young child around the age of 7 and 8 who seemed to be talkative and sympathetic at the same time. She was wearing an orange checkered kimono tied with a green obi. Kimono. Obi. Those words stuck in the officer's mind. He'd heard them somewhere. They weren't American, though. She was a human, that was for sure. The only other human Officer Smith could see was a quiet 11 year old otokonoko. He looked ready for war, with his kusari-gama and katana. Where was he coming up with all these names!
Where did they come from?! There was a short... toad(?) in a brown kimono and a cap. And there was a large two-headed monster covered in dark brown scales. It didn't talk, so Officer Smith considered it similar to a horse. There was a saddle on it, anyway. Suddenly, a yell was heard.
"Chotto matte!! That's a Japanese kimono that little onnanoko's wearing!!"
These 3 creatures and 2 humans are from Japan?!
Sesshomaru spoke.
"Ancient Japan. Sengoku jidai, to be exact."
