Inuyasha didn't know what strange force at compelled him to stand up and shout his bidding. Why bid for a mere human girl at all? However, there he was, standing at the back after shouting that he'd pay one million yen. As if any ningen's life would be worth that much. The human was staring at him with the widest blue eyes he'd ever seen. Her form was trembling.
The announcer slowly smiled. "Did you hear that? One million yen! Going once! Going twice! And sold to Inuyasha-sama!" There was the sound of something breaking, and Inuyasha saw that the glass of wine Naraku had been holding had shattered. The oily man glared at the hanyou while clenching his bleeding hand.
"You bastard!" he seethed. "I was going to have her! She was mine, and you took her away from me." Inuyasha raised a dark eyebrow.
"Really? Last I checked, you weren't the one who paid for her." Snarling, Naraku pointed a finger at Inuyasha, unchecked rage visible in his eyes.
"You better watch your back, hanyou, or you may just find a knife in it."
"Keh! As if any knife can stop me."
