Apologies: This is only one lone chapter! ^;_;^
But at least it�s and update. I�m back in class which means I now have weekly
internet access. So my updates should come much more quickly now but in small
quantities.
NOTE: A note about the silk kimonos. I swear I
looked at ALL my silk clothing and they all said the same damn thing. �Dry
clean only�. By the time Kallipso said it was Warm water not cold, I had
already posted� and was too lazy to change it. It�s the feudal era; everything
runs backwards, at least in my world. And Sesshoumaru is eaten by rats. Okay
maybe not, just a little gnawed.

NOW (finally) ON TO THE STORY!

�
Twenty-Five: Kuufuku! The Amazing,
Flying Rat!

Kuufuku was having the time of his life.

He went up; he went down. He could
go left or he could go right.

He could even do tricks!

How many people in the world could
say they�ve seen a rat perform tricks? Let alone a flying summersault on his
new trampoline? The rat continued his bouncing providing much needed
entertainment for the two younger people in the cave as he gave off another
particularly hard jump from the soft springboard.

Kuufuku obviously didn�t care what anyone thought of his antics.
The trampoline was just what the doctor ordered to stave off the boredom and
routine of everyday life in the cave. It was so plushy and springy that it made
for the perfect toy for the hyperactive rat.

This worried Inuyasha.

The fact that Sesshoumaru had
completely zonked out after his return to the cave to the point where even a
rat bouncing on his person didn�t wake him� well, it was defiantly a cause for
concern.

Although Kuufuku
seemed to have no problem with it since it enabled him to combine his two
favorite activities of playing around and annoying one, certain youkai. However, it seemed as if the young lord was not
going to cooperate at the moment, but that didn�t stop Kuufuku
in his efforts. He would just have to try harder. So the rat put an extra
spring in his movements and actually managed to get a good three-foot high
bounce going.

Inuyasha shook his head as he
wondered just how he would go about waking his prick of a brother in time for
the evening.

It had been nearly twenty-four
hours since the Youkai�s return and Inuyasha was
actually beginning to panic. He had tried everything! From shaking the jerk to
a bucket of water, until he finally had to search out the rat playing with the
children and gave the animal free range over the comatose man.

And amazingly, Sesshoumaru was
still out for the count.

Inuyasha frowned before he looked
out the door and at the fading light that marked the passage of time. �Fucking bastard! He�s doing this to me on purpose.�
Inuyasha growled as he glared at the sprawled youkai.
�When he wakes up, he�s dead.�

Dusk was starting to fall and he
knew that he alone would not be able to protect the inhabitants of the cave
once the new moon rose. While he had yet to come across some of the more
dangerous of youkai, he knew that even the most
harmless of demons were still ten times more powerful than the young kit and
little girl.

�Then again, if anyone show�s up I could always sick Kuufuku
on them,� he thought amusedly while continuing to watch the enthusiastic
rat hop away. The animal had actually started performing some acrobatic
summersaults and Inuyasha sweat dropped before he shook his head in defeat.
�Welcome to the circus that is my life,� he muttered as the rat performed a
rather interesting back flip.

Sesshoumaru nevertheless dozed on,
blissfully oblivious to the goings on of the bounding rat and everything else
for that matter.

He was in the middle of a glorious
battle.

The sound of steel meeting steel, it
was so exhilarating!

His enemies were nothing. He could
defeat them easily. His sword mowed them down as if they were nothing more than
harmless blades of grass for all the fight that they were putting up. �Or maybe I�m just that good,�
Sesshoumaru thought smugly.

The enemy was pathetic.

The enemy was weak.

The enemy was gone.

He had won.

�As if there was any doubt,� he thought triumphantly as he gazed
about the battlefield.

Naraku was defeated.

His army of demon followers
crushed and his towering palace engulfed in flames. It had been a long and
horrendous battle full of oozing blood, smoldering husks of burned out bodies
and various severed body parts scattered across the battlefield.

Sesshoumaru had never felt so
alive.

With the weight of Tokujin in his hand he watched as Naraku�s
body smoldered, flame licking up the spider body and the creatures severed head
dripping down the ceremonial pike. The kind of weapon that Sesshoumaru always
saw hanging in the weapons room of the Lord of the East. Even
had the talent of making Sesshoumaru�s hair stand on
end. Creepy guy, that.

Now Naraku,
he had been a total pansy. The creature had been a complete push over and an
utter waste of time.

�Couldn�t argue with the
results though,� he thought as he looked down at the other comforting
weight that leaned against his other side. The dark head was pressed against
his body, golden eyes looking up at his adoringly.

There was something that wasn�t
quite right about all this, but as his youki was
celebrating the only thing that Sesshoumaru could think of was �who cares?�
as he reached down and dragged the small body even closer to him.

Smiling down he ran his fingers
down the raven tresses as the small cupid bowed mouth curved upward as the head
leaned into the touch, the silver ears twitching on the top of the silky locks.

He smiled as he moved his hand to
the back of the boy�s head as he leaned down, bringing that mouth closer to
him.

Oh Kami,
this is what he fought so hard for. This was the reason he went to battle. This
was his reward for doing well. This was what every red blooded creature in the
world craved. Sought out with hunger. Fought for with need.

The lips neared his own and
emanated a harsh snarl.

His instincts suddenly screamed
�wrong!� at him and he reared back, pushing the boy away from him and stepped
back as he watched in utter shock as the creature in front of him began to
change. To shift and change as the dark black hair suddenly bleed lighter. It
did not turn silver however. It was shifting into a light brown, shortening
into soft tough fur.

His eyes widened when suddenly
there, standing in the boy�s place, was one of the Shika.

Sesshoumaru gripped the hilt of
his sword as the animal snorted threateningly, moving a step forward towards
him. His automatic instinct was to step back as a sudden surge of fear spiked
within him.

His body was poised for flight. It
was a feeling that Sesshoumaru had never really felt before but at the moment,
it was not something that he cared about.

The large rack of horns lowered
threateningly and Sesshoumaru moved back as other shapes began to step out of
the darkness. The fallen bodies of the battle suddenly rose from the ground.
The sickening sound of bones cracking resonated across the air as the bodies twisted,
shifting and realigning themselves.

His breath hitched as the forms
became clearer, his eyes widening in disbelief as the whole herd of deer stood
before him, eyes glowing red, teeth bared and horns aimed threateningly.

�Oh Shit!�
Sesshoumaru yelped as he turned and started running.

Some part of him was in complete
shock that he would run away instead of turning to fight, but Sesshoumaru found
that his feet had a mind of their own and they continued running. Passing blurs
were the only thing he could fathom of his surroundings.

He could hear them behind him.

They were coming closer and closer
with each passing moment.

He tried to run faster but it was
as though each step was dragged through deep mud, he couldn�t get away from
them any faster! The deer were gaining on him. He couldn�t run fast enough.

�If I get out of this,� he thought sourly, �we�ll eat nothing but venison for a year.� He ran faster, the hot
stench of their foul breath right behind him. �Make that decades.�

Suddenly the landscape changed.

Open fields became dense forest.
The mounds of bodies he had so easily defeated were now boulders that blocked
his way. He tried to look for an escape but none presented itself to him.

He couldn�t turn, couldn�t dodge,
couldn�t do anything but run and run in a straight line.

It was then that he saw it,
straight ahead, the cave! Sweet mother of mongrels, there it was! Safety at
last!

He glanced over his shoulder to
see exactly how close the deer were to him when he nearly faltered in his steps
and crashed head first into a tree.

It wasn�t deer behind him.

It wasn�t the deer�s foul breath
he smelled.

It wasn�t the deer�s glowing beady
eyes that bore holes into him.

It was rats.

Hundreds and
hundreds of rats. With that blasted pet of Inuyasha�s
leading the charge.

�Fuck!� he screamed and made for
the large hole that was the entrance.

But something was wrong.

The cave was closing.

�NO!� he screamed as he threw his
arm forwards, reaching for his any chance of freedom as it slowly closed before
him. As the last glimmer of black faded so too did his resoning.
He crashed into the wall at full tilt and immediately clawed at the rock face

�Let me in! Let me in NOW!� He
shouted. It had been the first time that anyone dared to disobey him. There had
never been a time that his every demand was not heeded. He banged against the
rock wall. He knew that they were in there. Inuyasha was in there, ignoring
him. He, as well as Rin, and that annoying kitsune- all of them were laughing at how pathetic he was
running from rats.

He whirled around as he watched
the horde of enlarged vermin still coming right at him. Teeth bared and glowing
red eyes all pointed straight at him.

�Oh Kami,
I�m going to die,� Sesshoumaru murmured as his eyes squeezed shut in fear�

�Only to snap open again to the
sight of a small grey fur ball.

A small grey fur
ball that was rapidly getting larger by the second.

��ep.�

The small rodent landed with a
happy squeak right on top of the Inu-domo�s surprised
visage.

Silence.

Sesshoumaru�s eyes went cross as he stared into the dark beads of the
animal�s own eyes while Kuufuku gave another squeak
of �hello,� and showed just how much he had missed his archenemy with a welcome
home nip to Sesshoumaru�s nose.

That was all it took for the almighty
Lord of the West to finally crack.

�KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!�

Inuyasha was sitting at the little
table; his head balanced in his hand had just about fallen asleep when the
scream startled him into full awareness, losing his equilibrium and nearly
clonking his head on the table�s shiny surface.

Jumping to his feet, his golden
eyes snapped towards the pallet where the other Inu Youkai was housed just in time to see the taller man snap
his body upright and propelling the family �pet� like boulder from a catapult
off of his face.

Kuufuku hit the side of the cave with an �erk�
and slid down the dark surface almost as if in slow motion. It didn�t take the hanyou long to figure out what happened as he watched Rin move to the animal�s aid.

It had appeared that Kuufuku, who had been having so much fun bouncing up and
down on the unconscious youkai�s stomach, had somehow
miscalculated his latest jump and fell with a rather happy squeak right on top
of his brother�s face.

Inuyasha wished briefly that he
had caught the whole thing with one of those Cam-E-rah�s of Kagome�s just so he could watch it again and again
and again. Sesshoumaru�s current expressions were
quite amusing as well.

��I�ll kill that rat!� Sesshoumaru roared as he
lurched to his feet and fumbled for Tokujin.

Kuufuku was anything but stupid and knew danger when it was
looking at him with eyes that were dangerously turning red. The ever-remorseful
rodent turned tail and ran to the nearest safety zone that was available to
him.

Inuyasha squawked in surprise as
small claws dug into his legs and torso as the rat climbed up his body as if he
were a ladder and came to rest on his shoulder, burrowing his head under the
silky locks of his hair, tail twitching sporadically in fear.

�Do you mind?� he snapped
indignantly at the animal as he saw his brother was still advancing.

�Hey!� Shippo cried from the floor
angrily. �What do you think you are doing you rodent!?�

Inuyasha gapped as the small kitsune suddenly surged forward, and he felt the abrupt
pain of small sharp little needles of this kits claws dug into his abused
person as the child followed Kuufuku�s earlier example and climbed the hanyou like a tree.

�That�s my spot!� Shippo called
out as Inuyasha winced as the nails met the tender flesh of his thigh. �Only I,� hips, �can sit,� stomach,
�on the baka�s,� chest, �shoulder!�

Shippo made a lunge for the
creature. �Get down!�

�Both of ya�s
get down you pests!� Inuyasha bellowed as he started to
whirled about the cave in an effort to catch one of the elusive vermin that
were running circles around his shoulders.

Shippo snarled as he made a grasp
for Kuufuku�s tail only to be grabbed by sharp teeth instead as Kuufuku tried to climb even higher under Inuyasha�s darkening hair to the top of his very scalp.

Shippo was right behind him. �Get
off!�

�Will ya
both get OFF!� Inuyasha screamed as he
tried to grab the small fox kit that was losing his footing while still attempting
to reach his other occupant and was
currently sliding down his robe. Leaving stinging claw marks in his wake.

�I ain�t
ya treehouse! Get off!�

�Can Rin
have a turn later?�

�What? NO!�

Rin pouted as she sat back down at the table and continued to
sip her tea as she watched the antics of the so-called �adults�.

�Go away!� Shippo yelled.

�Drop Dead!� Inuyasha screamed.

�Squeeeeee!� Kuufuku squealed.

�Grrrrrrrrrr.�

The three froze.

�Uh-oh,� echoed off the cave, in
stereo.

This was not good.
