Fur

~ooO Fur Ooo~

Kagome tripped over a protruding rock and went sprawling. She just barely got on her hands and knees and scrambled away as a huge white furred paw landed just where she had fallen. She yelped and rolled, trying to find a crevasse, a fallen log, anywhere she could hide from the daiyoukai. Not that it would do any good. Sesshoumaru would probably sniff her out and dig her out.

She screamed as the huge paws landed on either side of her, like two tall furred white pillars. She whimpered as the massive form loomed over her, casting her into shadow.

At least he wasn’t drooling acid on her, she thought morbidly.

On the other hand she was penned under the massive furred form. If he decided to lie down she’d be squashed like a bug!

As though in response to her thoughts the enormous furred underbelly began lowering to the ground. She yelped and ran to escape being suffocated. She did not quite escape but she did get close enough to the front. She screamed when the densely furred form began pressing down on her, forcing her to kneel then lie flat. Thankfully she was under his jaw and not his torso, the bulk of his mass. There was no way she would have survived that! She groaned and wriggled and shifted enough to push her head out from under the warm silky mass. It was like fighting her way through a very heavy all-enveloping fur blanket.

She turned her head and stifled the urge to whimper. Her head was out right under his tongue dangling out the corner of his mouth. Like a dog.

Right now he is a dog you idiot, a sensible practical voice ordered her. Don’t make him mad enough to bite or drool! You don’t want to get covered in that acid saliva!

She stifled the reflexive terror. If he was going to drool acid on her there wasn’t much she could do other than try to purify it. But then he’d probably feel attacked and munch her down like a small treat. Stay calm, stay cool. You can do this! she told herself firmly.

Absently she noted his fur was very soft and thick, much silkier and smoother than her own hair. Actually, in his humanoid form, Sesshoumaru had better hair than most girls she knew. She managed to get her hand free. His fur was very silky. Did his hair feel as good as it looked? InuYasha looked like he had good hair but it was rather coarse and prone to breakage and splits. It had improved ever since she began supplementing his diet with kibble. It looked like Sesshoumaru didn’t need extra proteins and vitamins. He probably got them from some other source. She only hoped it wasn’t innocent mikos and human villagers.

AN:  The next 4 chapters are going to be POVs for Riku Ryuu's POV Challenge. It was a bit of a last minute addition so there might not be an update tomorrow.
