         “We're here!” Souta cheered as he rushed from the car, their mother barely having gotten it in park a moment before his door was thrown open. Ignoring their mother's calls for him to not rush ahead, Souta quickly made his way over to the ticket stand and began bouncing up and down in front of the very amused teller. “Hurry up mom! Hurry up Kagome! I want to see them!” he hollered over his shoulder drawing the attention of nearby patrons.

Rolling her umber eyes at her younger brother's excitement, not really seeing the attraction herself, as she made her way to the teller unhurried, producing her three free admittance tickets that she had won in a lottery. “Wow, you're lucky you won these. We've been completely sold out since we opened last week. I was hoping I wouldn't have to turn away this little guy,” the teller told her with a smile as he gestured toward her still bouncing brother.

“Yeah winning them really made his day, though truthfully, I was hoping on the three days, two night spa trip that was also available,” Kagome explained with a laugh, ignoring Souta's calls for her to hurry up. Chuckling, the teller took the tickets and tore off the tips before handing them back and telling them to enjoy their visit. “Alright, we can go now,” she told Souta as she put away the ticket stubs and grabbed onto his hand to make sure he didn't try and run off alone.

As they walked toward them, the large double gates blocking the park off from the outside world, opened up inward allowing them to enter. As soon as the three of them had passed the threshold, the gates closed, locking audibly behind them. Glancing around, trying to figure out what they were supposed to do now, Kagome spotted an employer, judging by the bright, red uniform she was wearing with the words 'Demon Park' embroidered on the front, as she jogged over to them waving.

“Greetings and welcome to Demon Park, the only place here on Earth where you can see real, live demons. If you will follow me, I will guide you to your cart and go over some basic information about both the demons and the park itself,” she informed them as she gestured toward the way she had come and began heading back in that direction. “About 10 years ago, a scientist discovered a cave full of fossilized demon bones and after many failed attempts, last year he was finally able to extract enough demon DNA to begin cloning them.

“Doctor Jinenji, the scientist, began construction on this site about six months ago, about the same time as he began collecting massive amounts of DNA from many different demon species in order to create the attraction that we have today,” she told them before stopping before a small, four seat, electric cart that sat atop a set of railroad like tracks. “Please fasten your seatbelts as the road can get rather bumpy,” she instructed as she waited for them to take their seats before climbing in the front and starting up the silent cart.

As their cart began traveling slowly down the railroad, she continued, “Here we have over 50 species of demons, including dog, fox, wolf and even a strange combination that we aren't really sure what he is. Doctor Jinenji believes somehow during the extracting process, more than one demon's DNA was mixed. As I am sure you know from mythology, some more powerful demons have both an animalistic form and a humanoid form.

“We have some demons like this. And while most are completely docile, there are a few hostile demons, and for this very reason, we have some rules everyone must follow. Never leave the cart unless told otherwise, as we do have some attractions we have set up for interaction. Do not stick anything into any of the fences; food, body part or otherwise. If you somehow cut yourself, inform me immediately as some of the demons react to the scent of human blood.

“Do not mock or insult the demons as you will make a nice snack. Remember to keep your children with you at all times as they are a bite sized snack. And do not throw things at the demons, as they will return the favor by throwing you,” she warned just as Kagome noticed a sign they were passing. The words 'Do not feed the demons!' jumped out at her in huge, bold letters. “Is everyone clear on the rules?” she inquired as she glanced at each of them in turn, giving them a pointed look until they nodded that they did.

“Very well then. Coming up on our right you will see our very first attraction, which just so happens to be one you can interact with and we will be leaving the cart. Just wait until it comes to a complete stop,” she informed them as their cart detoured to a small cut off in the rails before coming to a stop in front of a fenced in area with a large sign stating 'Fox Demons', underneath which was a smaller sign that read 'Careful, they can be tricky'.

“Welcome to the fox demons area of Demon Park, here you will find some of our most adorable demons, however, as you notice the sign warns, they can be tricksters. Their pranks are completely harmless, though they can be a bit annoying. Watch your step getting out of the cart and please follow me,” the guide instructed as she exited the cart herself and made her way over to a small pin code pad to the right of the gate.

She quickly entered her personal code and the gate swung inwards, and she walked inside gesturing for them to follow after her. Once they were all inside, the gate swinged closed, audibly locking behind them. “Do you see the movement in the bushes just over there?” she questioned as she pointed to the rustling bushes a few yards away from them. “That would be our demons, they like to jump out and scare anyone who comes to visit.

“Fox demons have been known throughout history as being the greatest illusionist and can in fact mimic the appearance of anyone they meet. You can usually tell the age of one, by how good their illusion is. The younger, less experienced demons tend to be unable to hide their tails when they do transformations,” she explained as she continued leading them toward the demons before stopping just a few feet away from the bushes and gesturing for them to take a seat on the grass.

“They tend to be a bit shy at first due to our larger size, fox demons are usually rather small, in fact, some of the smallest demons we have here,” she explained to their confused expressions. “As you will remember I mentioned earlier, some of our demons have both animalistic and humanoid forms, fox demons are the same way, however, they are unique from other demons. For them, when they are young they take on a humanoid form and take on their animalistic form later in life, whereas most other demons that have both, it's the other way around.

“These little guys,” she said as she gestured toward the three small fox demons that were making their way out of the bushes and toward them, “Are some of our most friendly ones. I don't think I have made a single trip into this area without seeing them. On the right you have Chikako, in the middle is Shippo and on the left is Haru. And a little known fact about fox demons is although they can eat meat, they prefer to be vegetarians.

“I actually have some approved leaves that you can feed them, usually they will do tricks in appreciation,” she explained as she reached into her pack and grabbed a couple of the leaves for each of them and handed them over. “You need only hold it out for them and they will take the leaves,” she continued as she did just that and they watched as the female fox grabbed it before curtsying to the guide.

“That's so cute!” Souta exclaimed as he bounced in place, holding out both of his leaves to the other two foxes. The first one, Haru, took his before quickly munching on it and pulling a smaller, green leaf out of no where. Making sure he had Souta's undivided attention, he held the leaf to his head and in a puff of smoke, transformed into a Souta look-a-like, only his version had a tail. “Wow!” Souta cheered, clapping his hands as his eyes grew as large as saucers.

“Wow!” Haru mimicked, his voice identical to Souta's causing his eyes to grow impossibly larger as he began stuttering and pointing to the fox demon. Haru, of course, repeated the action, only pointing toward the real Souta rather than himself. After a moment, Souta gave up trying to talk and instead opted to just bust up laughing, holding onto his sides as the force of his laughter threatened to knock him off balance. Haru soon followed suit.

“Yes, some of the demons here are capable of speech. And a lot of those, such as our fox friends here, are actually quite intelligent. If they so choose, they can hold real conversations with you, though they do tend to talk in riddles most of the time,” she explained as Chikako took another leaf from her hand and started humming a soft, sweet tune as she rocked back and forth on her feet in time to it. Kagome watched her for a few moments, giving the cute demon a soft smile until she noticed someone was sitting down in her lap.

Glancing down, she found the third fox, Shippo, was sitting there, silently staring up at her with big, doe eyes. Smiling at him gently, she handed over one of the leaves she was holding and watched as he quickly gobbled it up before looking back at her for seconds. Laughing, Kagome handed him the second leaf and wondered if he was intending to do a trick like the others or if he was planning to jip her, as he had yet to do anything.

Apparently he chose neither option as he leaned up to kiss her on the cheek before scrambling out of her lap and heading back over to where his friends were waiting, a slight blush staining his cheeks. Kagome giggled at the cute sight he made before their guide standing, and dusting herself off, brought her attention back to her. “It is time to move on. If we stay here too long, the next group after us will have no place to park,” she explained as she waved goodbye to the foxes and began leading the way back toward their waiting cart.

Giving the cute demons a quick wave, Kagome followed after her, making sure Souta was coming as well. Once she had punched in her code in the keypad on their side of the fence, the gate opened and they made their way back to their seats. The guide quickly started up the silent engine and backed the cart up, heading back onto the main rail line. As Kagome glanced behind her, hoping to catch one last glimpse of the demons, she found the three of them standing on the fence waving goodbye.

Giggling, she gave them another wave and turned her attention back to their guide as she began speaking once again. “Next up on the tour is the wolf demons. Though we will be stopping, we will stay outside of the fence as they can be a bit testy at a times and it is simply safer this way,” she explained before falling into silence as she drove the short distance to the next fenced in area, before pulling onto a small detour on the rail again and turning off the cart.

“Please stay in the cart here, we wouldn't want you to get bit if you get too close to the fence,” she told them as she turned in her seat and gestured toward the small pack of wolves that were heading their way. Glancing over, Kagome spotted a sign stating 'Wolf demons', below it another that warned 'Careful, they tend to claim things that are not theirs'. Confused, she turned back toward the guide in question.

“Trust me, it's better not to know,” she explained with a laugh before turning their attention back to the demons. “Much like the fox demons, wolves are also a unique breed. As you will notice, the ones coming up so far look like completely normal wolves right?” she questioned, pausing to wait until they nodded their heads before continuing, “Well they also have the two forms, animalistic and humanoid, however, each individual demon only has one form.

“They either have an animalistic or a humanoid form for their entire life. We are not entirely sure why it is like this, but Doctor Jinenji believes that the current regular wolves you can find over most of the world, are in fact the descendants of these demons. He believes that wolves were never animals, simply demons that were mistaken for animals as people began to see demons as myths. All of the wolf demons found here, were created through our cloning process, none were taken from the wild.

“We should have at least one humanoid demon show up soon, they tend to send out this group before hand to give them an idea of who is out here. Unlike the wolves in the wild, these tend to be rather docile unless provoked, however, it is difficult to know what would provoke them and what wouldn't, hense the reason this is not an interaction attraction. Ah it seems you guys are in for a treat, their leader has decided to join us today,” she informed them as she nodded toward the humanoid demon that was making his way over to them, exiting a cave just a few yards away from the fence.

He slauntered over to the fence, resting his arms on the top board as he glanced at each of them in turn before whistling at Kagome and turning back to the guide. “She's a cute one, can I have her?” he inquired, flashing Kagome a fanged smirk, causing her to blush as the rather gorgeous male was wearing little more than a loin cloth made of fur. “You wanna be my woman?” he offered, giving Kagome his undivided attention.

“This is what I was talking about,” the guide joked softly to Kagome before turning back to him. “No Kouga, as I have already explained, you can not have any of the young girls that come here. And besides, you already have a mate,” she reminded him, gesturing toward the fiery red head that was currently stomping her way over toward them. Instead of tending to the furious demon behind him, Kouga sent Kagome another fanged smirk, earning himself an impromptu nap when the female hit him over the head.

“Baka,” she mumbled under her breath, rolling her green eyes at her mate before turning her attention to the guests. “Don't mind him, Sugar, he's completely harmless, I make sure of it. I'm Ayame, alpha female of the wolf pack. The raging hormone at my feet, is my useless mate Kouga, as I am sure the lovely guide has already explained. Don't judge all of us by his behavior, we're much more civilized than that. Well most of us anyways,” she corrected as she glared down at the unconscious demon at her feet.

“No worries, we have some males like that too,” Kagome assured her, an image of Hojo coming to mind. Her poor classmate just couldn't get it through his thick head that she wasn't interested in being more than just friends, and the constant meddling by her girl friends sure wasn't helping any. Kagome was actually thankful that the tickets were for this weekend, it had gotten her out of another 'date' between the two of them.

“Oh just a warning,” Ayame began after giving Kagome a smile and turning her attention back to the guide. “Be careful when you head over toward the white dogs, the punk has been growling up a storm all morning and it is unlikely that you will find him in a good mood, not that he really has a good mood. It's mostly just bad and worse,” she explained to Kagome with a chuckle. “Apparently he is not happy about his new little brother.”

“Was he born today? Darn it they didn't tell me,” she complained after Ayame had nodded her head. “Guess you guys will be in for a real treat today,” she told her passengers with a smile before turning back to Ayame. “We should probably head out, I want to get them to the white dogs before the little guy gets too tired for visiters,” she explained with a smile before waving goodbye to the wolf demon just as Kouga began to wake from his nap.

“Where's my woman going?” he question, not realizing his mate was standing beside him. A moment later, he was asleep on the ground again as Ayame rolled her green eyes before waving and turning back toward her den. Grumbling about idiot males under her breath, she decided to leave him out in the open, not in the mood to carry him back to their den yet again. Kagome giggled quietly at the sight before turning back around her seat.

“You mentioned a new demon was born,” she began, speaking to their guide who nodded her head, “Aren't you worried about overpopulation with the demons procreating?” Kagome couldn't imagine an unfeeling scientist not preventing that from happening, if it was possible, even if she herself thought it was the cruelest thing to do. Instead of replying right away, the guide laughed at the idea, waving her hand as if dismissing the thought.

“Doctor Jinenji would have never allowed that. Although the scientific community has questioned it many times, you are in fact the first patron who has done so, and much less rudely than they did. Demons actually don't usually have too many offspring, the average is usually about three and this is only the fourth birth since we began. Speaking of births though, usually next on the tour would be the two-tailed cat demons, however, one of the females is currently pregnant and it makes them rather antisocial, so it has been taken off of the tour until further notice.

“So next will be the strange combination I was telling you about when you first arrived,” she explained as they continued on down the railway before pulling off at another detour, stopping in front of a rather dark and ominous looking area. “We know for a fact he is at least part spider demon, as that was the DNA they were trying to extract, but we are not too sure about his other species. Here we will be staying inside the cart, as he is one of our most hostile demons.

“There are two other demons in this attraction, one is a young void demon and the other is a wind demon. The latter two are usually rarer to see, but he likes to come taunt the people that visit,” she explained as she gestured toward the dark, threatening cloud that was heading their way. Curious as to what the sign would say for him, Kagome glanced down at the fence quickly spotting them. The first read 'Void, Wind and Other Demons' the second, smaller one warned 'Careful, do not breath in the misama'.

“What exactly is misama and how can we prevent ourselves from inhaling it?” Kagome questioned as she turned the guide's attention to the signs. Before she had the chance to answer, the 'cloud' took the form of a man, who shot a dark blast of what looked like the cloud itself, toward her, only to have it bounce harmlessly off of an invisible shield that surrounded the fenced in area. “Oh,” Kagome whispered, shivering as the demon began chuckling darkly.

“More lambs to the slaughter?” he questioned, smirking coldly at Kagome and her family before turning toward the guide. “They look to be very sweet, how about a taste?” he requested, licking his lips, causing even the guide to shiver this time. Seeing their frightened expressions, he chuckled darkly before transforming back into his cloud form and disappearing in an instant. The guide shivered once more before taking a deep breath and turning back to the passengers.

“He's scary, but he can't harm you, he can't leave the fenced in area. We have put in place plenty of precautions to make sure our visiters are safe. He just likes to torment everyone. He was Naraku, the other the sign mentions, which he is still pissed about. He claims we should put 'spider' instead of 'other', but Doctor Jinenji is refusing to change it until he stops trying to scare people so he's a bit testy at the moment.”

“Worry not, you shall leave unharmed,” a emotionless voice told them, turning their attention back to the 'cage'. Standing there was a young, almost albino demon, staring at them expressionlessly. “I am Kanna. The guide will be unable to tell you much about me. I am a void demon. The void is nothing, nothing is the void. I merely exist,” she explained in a monotone voice, staring blankly at each of them in turn.

“Are you playing nicey nice with the little mortals, Kanna?” a voice questioned, seemingly out of no where and as they glanced up, the found an older female demon floating above the smaller one. Turning her attention to the 'mortals', she looked them each over before speaking directly to them, “I am Kagura, I am the wind.” Unable to think any coherent thoughts, Kagome merely stared at the pair, gapping like a fish.

“Mortals? And why is she flying on a leaf? Demons can fly? Can't they escape if they can fly?” Kagome questioned once she finally regained use of her voice and turned back toward her guide. Once again, before she had the chance to speak, she was cut off by a demon, who scoffed at Kagome with a slight glare.

“Yes mortals, did you not know that demons are in fact immortal? Well we are and it is not a leaf to twit, what do I look like? A fox demon? It is a feather, obviously,” Kagura spat at her, mumbling about the inferior eyesight that humans had before turning back to the guide. “It is time you move on, I tire of these morons you bring to look upon us as though we were some kind of freak show. Be on your way and inform your little friends to leave us be for now,” she instructed before flying away on her feather without another word.

Hearing Kagome's soft 'sorry', Kanna merely shrugged her shoulders before turning and disappearing before their eyes. “Don't worry about it, she's a bit testy today too it seems. She's usually much more civil,” the guide insisted as she restarted the engine and began backing up, taking them back onto the main railway. “Naraku was probably getting on her nerves again and she just took it out on you. She's really not that easy to offend.

“Next we have a really interesting attraction. He is in fact, the only one of his kind that we have been able to clone and from what we've gathered about his kind, they are in fact all male. We are not entirely sure how they reproduce and he's not exactly willing to tell us, so it's remaining a mystery for the moment. He tends to be a bit testy, but is completely harmless so don't worry, but we will be remaining in the cart as he is more likely to talk if we stay far enough away,” she explained as she pulled into another detour and turned off the cart.

Already used to the drill, Kagome instantly began looking for the signs, which were located roughly in the same spot as the others. 'Imp demon', the first read and beneath was 'Careful, do not call him a toad'. Kagome laughed quietly, hiding it behind her hand as she turned her attention to the area in front of her. “You'll have to stand up to see him, he is rather short,” the guide explained as she did just that, the others following her lead, and pointed to a small lake in the middle of a clearing.

“His name is Jaken, and as the sign says, he is an imp demon. Please do not confuse him with a toad demon, he tends to get rather annoyed when people do. Apparently is an old insult to his kind, or some such thing,” she explained before falling silent as the small, green demon began making his way over to the fence, glaring at each of them in turn. “Hello Jaken, glad to see you are willing to grace us with your presence today.”

“With your idle chit chat it is rather hard to ignore you. I find it is quicker to make you leave, if I come over. So please finish up your gawking soon and be on your way, you are interrupting my mid morning swim,” he informed them as he turned to glare at the wide eyed Souta. “Do not even think about it, little boy, I can practically see the word 'toad' forming on your lips,” he warned, causing Souta to sit back down sheepishly.

“Perhaps we should move on and not disturbe him any longer?” Kagome suggested, turning to the guide after giving Jaken an understanding smile. He obviously did not want them bothering him, and she knew what that was like, well maybe not the being an attraction part, but her girl friends had gotten on her nerves enough times to feel like one.

“I like her, first half-way intelligent human I have met yet. Good day,” he bid Kagome, completely ignoring the rest of them, before turning around to head back toward his lake. A few moments later, a quiet splash was heard and chuckling, the guide began heading down the railway once again. They sat in silence until she had pulled up in front of another gate, who's signs read 'White dog demons' and 'Careful, do not anger them'.

“This is our last and most majestic attraction, the white dog demons. Whether or not this will be an interaction attraction, will depend on their mood. As was mentioned earlier, the alpha female of this pack just recently gave birth, this morning in fact, and she may not be willing to allow you near the pup. Though the two alphas are rather docile, unless you piss them off, the elder son is not so much. We're pretty sure his father is the only one who can keep him inline and he has been even more testy since his mother became pregnant.

“The white dogs are one of the demons that are born in an animalistic form and learn to use a humanoid form later in life. They are also one of the most powerful breeds of demons ever in existence. Their true form, is that of a gigantic and, obviously as their name suggestions, white dog. Speaking of, that would be the alpha male, Toga,” the guide informed them as the ground began to shake beneath them and after a moment they could see the large, white form coming their way.

“We will stay in the cart until after he gives us premission to enter,” she explained nodding in greeting to the demon as his large form melted away to reveal an almost human form, save for the fangs, claws and pointy ears. Kagome could see her mother fanning herself from her seat in the front and really couldn't blame her. If Kouga had been anything to look at, Toga was 'the' thing to look at, even if he was fully dressed. “Good day, Toga. Is she up for visiters?” she inquired as she bowed deeply to him from her seat.

“Aye she is, however, I should warn you to keep the noise level down, Sesshoumaru is in a bad mood today. He's somewhere hidden in here as we speak,” he told her, gesturing to the wide open landscape behind him. Giving him a quick nod, the guide turned back to her passengers and motioned for them to leave the cart and began making her way over toward the keypad. Quickly punching in her code, she lead the way in as the gate opened and began following Toga as he lead them deeper into the 'cage'.

“Mate, there are guests,” Toga called out after a few moments of silence had passed and the ground began to shake again as another giant, white dog appeared from behind a large mountain, a small pup running around at her feet. “His eyes have not opened yet, but he will know you are there. As long as you are careful, I will permit you to pet him,” Toga informed them as he turned back to them, but before any of them had the chance to say anything, the ground began to shake again.

After a moment, another large, white dog appeared, only this one was snarling at them, causing Souta to hide behind his mother's legs as the young pup did the same with his own mother. Rolling his golden eyes, Toga called over his shoulder, “If you do not wish to play nice, Sesshoumaru, go and hide yourself. No one is forcing you to show yourself.” Sesshoumaru snorted at his father, before turning his attention to Kagome, who was slowly inching her way to stand in front of her mother and brother.

Tilting his enormous head to the side slightly as he inspected her, Sesshoumaru huffed before biting his large fangs into her backpack and lifting her high into the air. As he took off with her, Kagome screaming the entire way, Toga simply rolled his golden eyes at his son's actions. “Worry not, he will not hurt her. Apparently he is in a playful mood today, probably just jealous of the attention his little brother is getting and just wants some to himself.

“You have my word, your daughter will remain unharmed,” he assured their mother as she glanced fearfully between the guide and Toga. Seeing she still did not look at ease, he continued, “Sesshoumaru can be a jerk, however, he would never harm a defenseless child. Though if it will put your mind at ease, I will go and check on them myself.” Seeing her nod of appreciation, Toga began following his son's trail.

       Out of breath and unable to scream anymore, Kagome crossed her arms in front of her chest as she glared up at the large demon that still held her in the air. Sesshoumaru simply snorted at her as he stopped in a clearing, apparently arriving at their destination as he carefully released her, his mouth only a foot off of the ground. Landing with a thump, Kagome turned back to glare at him only to realize just how big and how close he was to her.

“You're not going to eat me are you?” she questioned meekly as she rose to her feet and slowly began walking backwards, not wanting to aggravate him with any sudden movements. He snorted again and began to shake his large form, taking his golden eyes off of her for a split second. Taking full advantage of the distraction, Kagome turned on her heel and began to run as fast as she could, not caring that she had no idea which way the exit was.

It didn't really matter anyways as she had only gotten a few yards before she glanced back over her shoulder to see if he was chasing her and ran into something hard and unyielding. Staring up from her position on the ground, Kagome found herself unable to see anything besides a large furry paw. Before her eyes, he began to transform into his humanoid form and she could do little else but gape at him in shock. He was even more gorgeous than his father.

“This Sesshoumaru does not eat humans, they tend to be too sweet,” he replied, finally answering her earlier question. Shaking her head to clear her shock, she turned back to him as she slowly rose back to her feet and dusted herself off. “It is useless to run, this Sesshoumaru will catch you,” he warned as he took a step toward her only to have to take a step backwards. Raising a single, elegant eyebrow at her, Sesshoumaru stared silently.

“So not going to ask how you know that,” Kagome decided more to herself than to him before taking a deep breath and continuing, “If you are not going to eat me, why did you just kidnap me? Do you have any idea how worried my mother must be? Can you take me back now or at least point me in the right direction?” she requested as she gestured to the completely identical trees that surrounded them, blocking them off from the rest of the world.

“This Sesshoumaru was bored, you will entertain me. This Sesshoumaru's father will no doubt explain that you are in no danger, you will be returned once you have amused me,” he informed her as he calmly walked over to the nearest tree and sat gracefully at its base. Kagome stood there gaping at him, unmoving from her spot and he sighed almost inaudibly before continuing, “The longer you stall, the longer you will remain.”

“What do you mean entertain you? Want me to tell a joke? Dance around like an idiot? Tell a story? Can't you give me any idea of what you would find amusing?” she demanded as she stomped her foot only to be met with silence. Rolling her umber eyes at him, as he did not seem to be willing to give her any help, she walked over to stand in front of him and began tapping her foot in impatience. “This would be a lot easier if I knew what you think is entertaining.

“But fine, whatever,” she mumbled with a sigh as she began wracking her brain for anything a demon might find amusing, especially one like him. Unable to come up with anything else, Kagome sighed heavily as she got down on all four and began barking like a dog, hoping the strange sounds didn't translate into some kind of language for him. Sesshoumaru stared at her in shock for a moment until she began wagging her behind as if she had a tail.

Unable to keep it in any longer, Sesshoumaru bust up laughing, rolling around on the ground as he did. In complete shock over the strange sight, Kagome stopped what she was doing to stare at him in confusion. Unbeknownst to either of them, a silent figure watched for a few moments before confirming that she was indeed safe and headed back the way he had come. “Umm Sesshoumaru, are you alright?” she inquired when he had failed to stop laughing after a full minute.

“This Sesshoumaru is fine,” he replied after clearing his throat and getting himself back under control. Rising to his feet, Sesshoumaru dusted himself off before turning his attention back to her and closing the distance between them while she was too busy standing herself to notice his approach. Placing a clawed finger on either side of her chin, he raised her face until she was looking him directly in the eyes and flashed her a quick smirk.

“This Sesshoumaru hopes you will return to entertain him again, he would love to see what you do next,” he told her before leaning down to place a light kiss on her lips. Before she had even realized what was happening, he had disappeared and she found herself standing there all alone in the clearing. Kagome stomped her foot as she glanced around, hoping to see some indication of where she was supposed to go.

“You said you would return me!”
