A few choice obscenities escaped from Inu-Yasha’s mouth over his current predicament. Although not as small as his cowardly flea retainer Myoga, Inu-Yasha wasn’t even half the size of the tiny fox demon Shippo. The blades of grass beside him were up to his waist, so that put his height maybe a few inches. At this size, he didn’t have to worry about being attacked by demons, a cat could easily attack him. Stomping his bear feet on the ground in frustration, Inu-Yasha sat down and held his head in his hands as he tried to figure out what to do.

Another important thing was noticed by the shrunken half-demon. Around him was a large red, rumbled pile of clothes that went all around him. Groaning, he realized that what he was looking at where his own clothes, now a thousand times to big to fit his small body. He looked from one corner of the pile to the other, until he saw something of even more interest. Lying a few yards away was the rosary that Kagome had put on him when they first met, the one that forced him to hug the ground ever time she said, ‘sit’. Patting his chest, he smiled when he found that it was really off him. He’d tried removing it since Kagome first put it on, but it wouldn’t budge. Shrinking seemed to have a few good side effects for him.

Grinning merrily, Inu-Yasha stood up and walked over to kick the accursed beads that had been the bane of his existence for so long. As he walked, his oversensitive eyes picked up a sound from far in the east. It was a loud thudding sound that made his ears twitch. Listening closely, he heard it coming closer. As the thumping grew louder, the ground started shaking and Inu-yasha quickly lost his footing and fell back. It’s a good thing he moved out of the way because a few seconds later, a foot crashed down where he’d been standing. Scooting back as quickly as he could, Inu-Yasha looked up and couldn’t believe his eyes. One of his friends was standing in front of him, seemingly a mile high. He couldn’t see much past their knees, but he could smell their scent and it was female. They called out to him, asking where he was. Inu-Yasha opened his mouth to speak, but stopped, wondering if he should answer this person.
