Chapter Eight: Meow Said Kouga

"We're here!!!" Sango announced loudly, barging into the old house. She was greeted by silence and an empty hallway. "Uh, hello?"

Kagome and Rin trailed in after Sango, setting their bookbags quietly on the floor.

Sesshoumaru then silently walked in. "If you're looking for the bozou and Inuyasha, they went out earlier," he said coolly.

Kagome cringed. "Oh no. . ." She could just imagine what trouble those two could get in. Miroku would probably be reported under sexual harrasment, , and Inuyasha would have police after him, for trying to kill an innocent bystander for some petty reason.

Yup, it sure didn't look good.

Rin, who was thinking along the same as Kagome, asked, "Sesshoumaru-sama, do you know where they went?"

Before Sesshoumaru could answer, a dark colored mouse ran through the barely opened front door, folowed by a light brown cat, and a large white dog. The mouse, somehow breaking the laws of gravity, jumped over five feet and landed on Sango's shoulder. Before the girl could scream and bat it of, the cat tackled her, followed by the madly barking dog.

Sesshoumaru quickly pried the cat and the dog off, letting Sango able to sit up. She was about to scream at the mouse, but it started crying first.

"NOOOOO!!!!" the mouse whined with Miroku's voice, clinging desperately onto Sango's shirt. "Don't feed me to Kouga! YOu can't be that evil! Please, I beg of you!! DON'T!!"

Everyone but the dog and the cat looked at the mouse silently, until the dog broke it, yelling in Inuyasha's voice, "Lemme go, Sesshoumaru!! Lemme at him! Lemme at him!"

"Kagome!" the cat wailed at Kagome in Kouga's voice. "Don't let that filfthy mutt near me!"

"Don't let him go!" the mouse cried when he saw Sesshoumaru's grip on the cat loosen. "He's gonna eat me!

Sango took a deep breath, before she screamed and wacked the mouse off her shoulder. The mouse squeaked, and jumped onto the back of the dog, seeking for a refuge from the cat.

"Okay!" Kagome shouted. "What's going on?"

"Kagome!" The dog whined. "Tell Sesshoumaru to let me go so I can maul Kouga! He's scaring Miroku!"

The cat glared at the dog. "You just wanna eat me!"

"No I don't!" the dog snapped. "You probably taste bad!"

"Wait a minute," Rin said softly. She looked at the dog. "You're Inuyasha. . ." then the mouse ". . .you're Houshi-sama. . ." then finally at the cat ". . .and you're Kouga. . ."

"Bingo!" the mouse cried. "Rin, you're a genius!"

"They can't be them!" Sango shouted. "They're. . .they're. . .they're all pets!"

"I am too Miroku," the mouse said indignantly. "I'm not just a furry rodent!"

Sesshoumaru stood quietly, holding the dog and the cat as far away from each other as he could, the wheels in his head turning.

"But if you're Miroku," Kagome said slowly. "And those two are Inuyasha and Kouga. . .how can you be animals?"

"I dunno," the mouse said, making a gesture that looked almost like shrugging his shoulders. "One minute Kouga and Inuyasha were on the verge of killing each other, the next I was a mouse with a big cat chasing after me."

". . ."

". . ."

". . ."

". . ."

"Should we trust them?" Sango asked Kagome quietly. "I mean, is this real?"

"Well, maybe it is, maybe it's not," Rin interjected. "I can understand Inuyasha as a dog, but isn't Kouga-san an ookami youkai? And how did Miroku became a mouse?"

"Well, he is smaller," Sango said thoughtfully. "But wouldn't he have an easier chance of escaping unscathed from feeling women up?"

"But how would he do it?" Rin replied. "He's about three inches long. Not to mention most women hate mice."

"Miroku, where were you when this happened?" Kagome asked.

"YOu mean you beleive him?" Sango interupted loudly.

"Well,," Sesshoumaru said suddenly. "We don't have any proof that they are lying, and they do smell a bit like them."

"It's like what he said," Kagome amswered.

". . ." Sango nodded and stayed quiet, though she glanced at the mouse suspiciously for a few seconds.

"Umm. . .there's one problem though," Miroku said nervously.

"What?" Rin asked.

"Eh heh, I can't exactly recall where it happened," Miroku said.

"WHAT?" Sango nearly shrieked, as she lifted up Miroku and started shaking his senseless. "What do you mean that you can't remember where it happened? How can you miss a detail like that?"

"I remember a coffee shop," Inuyasha interjected helpfully, raising a paw slightly. "And a toy store with a big teddy bear on display."

"I think I know where that is!" Kagome said cheerfully. "It's over at the Juuban district. What were you doing that far from here?"

"You really ran that far with those legs?" Sango asked the dizzy monk-turned-mouse. "And your legs are still on?"

"Aren't we going to check it out?" Rin asked.

Inuyasha let out whimpering dog-like noises.

"Is there something you need Inuyasha?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Can I go outside?" Inuyasha asked. "I really need to do something."

Sesshoumaru gave Inuyasha a flat look, before locking him outside. "Don't chase cars."

"I don't chase cars!!" Inuyasha barked indignantly outside.

"Stupid dog," Kouga muttered. "Dogs are so stupid."

"Felines are stupid," Miroku said irratably. "I used to think cats were okay, now I hate them!"

Sango sighed and rolled her eyes, and Kagome said reassuringly to Miroku, "It's understandable Miroku. You're a mouse."

"That's not too insulting!" Kouga snapped at Miroku. "I'm a wolf youkai."

"You really look like a wolf to me," Miroku said dryly. "But aren't wolves supposed to bark and howl and growl, and not meow and pur?"

Kouga glared at him, before trying to pounce on Miroku, but Sesshoumaru still had his grip on him. So he ended up doing nothing more but swing his arms around.

"STUPID RODENT!!" Kouga shouted.

"This is too weird," Rin stated.

"I need some aspirin," Sango said.

"Sometimes I wish this was on horribly vivid dream," Kagome sighed.

AN: Haha!! Yes, I updated!! I know it's short, but I actually did it!! Aren't you just so proud of me?? I did it!! Too be honest, I never think I would actually do it. I'm so happy!! Now to finish three more chapters for different stories. -_- I was lazy, I'll admit. I spent most of my time drawing all kinds of junk (All I can remember is several original characters, Deedlit from Loddoss, Naru from Love Hina, Miroku from Inuyasha, and Umi from Rayearth.) I was out of ideas on what to do, and then I was suddenly strucked with this idea helping my mom make kim'chi. So I thought, what the heck? I can't beleive I actually updated! WHOOP!

I also kinda forgot all about MediaMiner. . .stupid me.
