So.
On one hand, if I understood things correctly, Adam has taken his first steps towards becoming a God! Congrats!
On the other hand, said first steps included being adorable. And much undignified squeaking.
... The poor guy is never going to live it down, is he?
I would feel bad for him, but... GODHOOD.
Worth it.

This was hilarious adorkable and awesome
Nice place ya traveled to

Hah ha! Yes, Baku! One of my favourite mythological creatures.
I couldn't find anything to exactly match your description (they are usually described as having spots, not tiger stripes). Still, a Baku is basically Winnie the Pooh if he were a tapir with tiger claws.
Seriously, Pooh bear is a good descriptor, and not just as a physical one. They are one of the few unambiguously good spirits in pan Asian mythology.

Adam had never appreciated the difficulties in being short.
He waddled through the shrine, thankfully most doors were left open. Was that a Japanese thing, or were his hosts just being helpful?
Anyway, it avoided his biggest hurdle, door handles.
He also found walking to be strange.
If a normal cat or dog was his size, they would be able to slink or paddle along no issue. But he wasn't exactly built for defense or battle.
He weighed like... four or five times less than one would expect. Like a very heavy balloon.
Also, if he wasn't careful, each step would make a tiny 'bumph' of air escape his tiny trunk.
Which was... less than manly.
Then again, this was like the third or fourth form without genitalia. At least he was sexually consistent. Male, straight. Female (Mental Narwhal was curious), lesbian. Nonsexual, female oriented.
So... at least he wasn't having identity issues? Probably? Or at least, no issues with whom he was attracted to, even if his body kept changing species.
But what was odd was the absolute lack of sexual interest now that he was a Baku. It may be related to his species or the heavy need for spiritual power, but right now he was cuddle oriented.
If he was in Worm, being snuggled by an attractive older woman like Kagome's mom would have been a 10/10 experience. Here, in this body? Well, it was nice but not really stimulating like he would expect it to be.
It was a massive difference compared to the My Little Pony Realm (Sexual Freedom is Magic?) he had just visited.
He meandered into another room, trying to stay near the edges. He kept spawning white flower blossoms from the local faith, and if he wasn't careful he would leave a slipping hazard.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Kagome sighed as she finished what homework her friends from school had collected.
Seriously, those girls were both a blessing and a curse. Sure they helped out a lot and helped her stay on top of her studies, but they also gossiped and made outlandish tales... that they believed.
They were convinced that all those trips to the past (Fighting demons and saving the future!) were actually a collection of horrifying and embarrassing personal issues that she was overcoming.
Really, telling those cute boys that she had explosive flatulence!? Off and on for FIVE MONTHS!?
She didn't know what was worse. Those who avoided her due to those rumors, or those who were supportive!
When a handsome boy secretly started to confess to her about his own debilitating diarrhea episodes, it took everything she had to accept his condolences with grace and good will. And as bad as it made her feel, she couldn't treat him the same after finding out that he had a custom tailor to help stitch the massive clothing holes caused by his condition.
Knowing too much could be painful.
As she absently piled her notes and work together, she realized that she had been staring at the tiny elephant thing as it poomphed around the edges of the room. Leaving a white flower trail.
Huh. And her normal 'after work' headache hadn't shown up. The blossoms smelled nice too.
She wouldn't trade in her own cat or anything, but this Baku was just so useful!
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Was he noticed!?
No, for he was sneaky Adam! Baku of the night!
...But she WAS looking this way...
Just in case, he used his trunk and focused, new blossoms poofing into existence and helping to hide him away.
Stealthily, he snootched his way through a rapidly created flower tunnel. Thanks to the Girls, he knew that this Shrine should have some good stuff to scan outside, and he was on a mission!
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Kagome watched the tiny pile of flowers sneak toward the edge of the room.
Baku's were weird.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
It only took a few hours for him to make his daring escape!
Well, a few hours and one surprise cuddle session with Kagome's mom, who had somehow discovered him.
Anyway, he had escaped!
...It was nice out here.
Summer? This Realm did have seasons, right?
Still, it was lovely.
Especially that trail of sadness, death, and decay over that way.
As his tiny legs pumped with less stealth in mind, he realized accidentally two important facts.
First, he not only felt like he was far lighter than he should be, but he was indeed balloon like in weight.
Secondly, while his body ignored the wind and everything (How!?), it did NOT ignore his foot power.
So now he was drifting. In a that-a-way direction. Slightly tilted.
No real sense of danger, and again, the wind (which wasn't slow) was being ignored.
But he was also floating in a near-uncontrolled manner.
Just... huh.
Well, it was roughly the right direction. So... why not?
He absently used his ears to tilt back to an upright position. Was this where that Dumbo idea came from? He was too worried to actually try and gain more height. What if he just went up till space? No clue if physics would actually pull him down directly. Or ever.
So he literally drifted slowly along.
Sneaking was faster than this.
Still, life tend to be a high speed, high risk ride. No reason not to take it slow once in a while.
...Really slow.
It was only when he felt Asako pulling him from the air that he realized he had drifted asleep.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Dragon growled. "We HAVE to tell him how to fix this. He needs more spiritual energy, with less magic being converted directly. At least until this form stabilizes. He has to be told."
Twilight whined. "But look at how cute he is! He makes little poof sounds when he walks!"
Nightmare Moon and Narwhal were too busy cooing over the images and videos to join in.
Dragon snorted. "And what if a demon shows up!?"
Twilight waved a hoof. "Then he will turn into a giant fire covered tree-Baku and 'Convert' them into purified energy. And likely 'Consume' them."
The cyborg sight. "That shouldn't be his first response to danger."
Nightmare Moon squealed. "Oh he's asleep again! And floating!"
Narwhal jabbed the display. "Look, his ears are making him do a barrel roll!"
Dragon sighed as Twilight ran over to join the viewing party. At least she was mature enough to save copies of all this for later, private cute-appreciation times.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Asako gently tapped the floating elephant thing, watching it float towards father-in-Law.
He also watched, fascinated. "No, never heard of this either. Normally when a spiritual creature wanted to defy gravity, it would shift to a spiritual form. Not just... float off like that."
Kagome entered, holding her spiritual notes from that morning... and paused. "Grandpa, why is the Baku flying?" She blinked. "And... is it snoring?"
Asako smiled at her daughter. "Ah, he seemed to have tuckered himself out exploring today. Please be gentle with playtime until he has time to get some more sleep."
Sota, who had TRIED to ignore the tiny demon in his house and stayed in his own room, came in with a sigh. If nothing else, he didn't want to be the one family member to NOT see a sleeping elephant fly.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Right, 'Harmony' had gathered several points of interest.
Outside there was a large tree, very old, with all kinds of talismans on it. Those would need scanning. The tree itself had something... something. Spiritually significant things happened here.
Secondly, there was a well. A STRANGE well. It was the source of the delicious decay, the ancient and fresh death, the black light of entropy. Also, a small scent of time magic, and the likely cause of him being pulled to this house in the first place.
Third of all, there was a spiritual barrier over the whole shrine, but it was only partially formed and reinforced by humans directly. Instead it was maintained by a pool of belief, one formed both by the humans and spirits that resided here and the belief of humans and spirits from the world as a whole.
The barrier existed because people and things EXPECTED one to be here. And then those theoretical shields and deterrents were 'repaired' and 'patched' to the point where eventually they would be purely cast via charms and spiritual frameworks. And as a creation of mortal belief, faith in the reliability of the new methods would fall, opening issues that faith would cover.
It was a weird system, where expectations become reality only to fail (also due to expectations), only to repeat.
In general, it was a decent defense. With a priest or shrine maiden, it could reach god level, able to block the change of reality itself. Without it, less than tissue paper.
So good and bad points, really.
On a similar pattern, those flower blossoms he was dropping were creating a series of barriers on their own. They didn't need kami, they were made of the stuff. So the layers of flowers that the old man hadn't collected were already reinforcing and expanding the shrine protections to silly levels.
Spiritual magic was truly a belief based power. It could empower an entity to deity level or cast them to be forgot and weak. In a way, his current setup was very ideal here. At least from what he could tell, he may be one of the very few creatures that could reinforce his own existence via his new spiritual Soul.
Those white blossoms in his soul were a constant slow source of faith, ones that grew even with no formal worshipers. Unable to be killed, converted, or lost.
So... a hard currency of power, as it were.
These three things would need investigation. Eventually.
He absently swapped to 'Recovery' to give Kagome's mother a quick tuneup. Good head scritches needed rewards after all.
Instantly, his mind filled with the biology of the entire family and their cat. His magic soul swapped from 'Harmony' to 'Growth', and 'Tithe' seemed unusually active.
Weak muscles. Bruised skin. Old bones. Weak eyesight. Badly healed bone cracks. Vitamin deficiency. Even as his power scanned and repaired them all, his power was latching onto something larger. Hurt. Untreated.
Spiritual wounds.
His eyes glowed with blue fire... as did all the flowers.
His power was using them as amplifiers. Connections. Religious donations or tributes even.
Even as the two adults, two children, and one cat rapidly reached absurd levels of health and stability, his power reached into the spiritual gashes.
Kagome was torn inside. Something that had been a part of her had been torn asunder. It wasn't lethal, but no wonder any little issue would blow up into rage or fear. Instability caused by spiritual damage.
He wasn't sure how he was helping. Memories of death and sadness were not being hidden or removed. Lives were not being rebuilt.
But these people were being wrapped in his own spiritual power... and it was helping them. Fueling their natural recovery. Helping their mind and heart cope with stress, sadness, and loss.
...
He was hungry.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
The bright blue flash of light was unexpected. Her family had been chatting while watching the Baku drift over the dinner table, slowly dropping white flower blossoms. In a way, Kagome found the quite conversation of her favorite people a wonderful change in pace from her normal hectic life.
Then... blue fire. Flames.
All the flowers just... burst. Like fireworks.
Nothing visually burned, but everything felt... warm. Safe. Sunlight on a normally cloudy day.
It wasn't until the light show faded away and her mom hugged her that she realized she was crying. Silent tears, something she hadn't done for years, flowed down her face.
Cleansing.
Her little brother had joined the hug group along with Grandpa at some point, but she was too busy crying and hugging her mom.
Whatever that was, it had been... overwhelming. Like stepping out of shadows. Her dreams from last night, but a thousand times brighter and more peaceful.
Her gaze fell on the still burning Baku.
...Was he eating her spirit review notes!?

I kind of want him to go to the past with kagome and act as a sort of keeper for her. That way if Inuyasha acts up he could punish him. I recommend shifting him into a female for a day as hilarious punishment.

I also have an image of a Baku chasing bad stuff away with a triumphant squeak, while giving the evil eye squint at the badness.

You do realize Narwhal is also doing the same thing?
Reacting to cute things is a female thing. Heck, it's a human thing.
And don't you people notice how this time Adam stated to be asexual?
That's because of all your silly complaints about how overly sexualized his previous jump was.
That or he's just going through the full spectrum of attraction.
I just try to ignore the complainers, under the theory that they want things written just for them, rather than wanting to read what the author wants to write.
Is He Housetrained?

Thirty minutes into the lecture, Adam decided to never tell anyone in this Realm he could talk.
It was bad enough that they assumed him to be mentally a child (Something the people in his head agreed with), no reason to let them know that he was a grown man gently chewing on a girls paperwork.
It was for her local use, not school related, but... well. Yeah.
Anyway, he ALSO discovered that anything Kagome focused on would slowly gain her holy aura, or priestess taste, or something.
Point is, it gained a spiritual essence.
It was why he fell asleep so easily in her bed: That thing was soaked in raw holy power.
And soft.
So yeah, eventually everyone stopped poking him or complaining about his eating habits and he was back to exploring the territory.
Now that he knew about the whole 'Circles of Yami' spiritual shield thing however, his first self appointed task was to make several passes along the circumference of the shrine.
Then several passes around the house.
And finally... that delicious, decaying well of despair.
Best. Decision. Ever!
After several passes around the shrine, easy enough to do since the weak shielding already there was a good guide, a wall of power rapidly built up. Energy built up quickly after that, faith in the air being captured more easily within the shrine in minutes. Any positive energies that bumped into this property would just hang around now instead of wandering off.
It felt wonderful! And the loose white blossoms trailing behind him after several passes seemed to melt into the ground, making it look like carved stone instead of actual petals. So... it was not going to blow away. That was nice. Looked artistic too!
The second ring around the house also became a stone flower patterned trail. The level of holy power inside the home thanks to these two rings reached VERY dense levels. Probably wouldn't cause problems, as long as any demons that entered were approved by the residents.
But uh... bad people might catch on fire. Like... real fire. Not just demon people either, if a murderer showed up there might be a sudden torch issue.
Meh, should be fine.
It was getting late however when he started circling the 'Bone-Eater`s Well.'
The energy from the thing was foul. Dank. Only the power from the shrine itself kept it from corroding the soil and air around it. If you got too close to the hole itself, whispering of demons past echoed just beyond hearing.
Nothing tasted sweeter.
After the new shell of power was established around the thing, Adam fell against the outer edge of the well and just... drank deep. Black ooze like snacks everywhere!
The 'Bone-Eater`s Well' was an ancient thing. To preserve health and protect others in the past, rubbish and bones from beasts and demons were tossed into it over hundreds of years. Sort of like a very specialized landfill.
Of course, a lifetime of dumping magical demon bones into a well would have side effects. Even WITH purification.
But for now, he was at peace laying as a lump and gently licking the dark energies that swirled ever thicker inside the new barrier.
'Harmony' was helping 'Research' to scan the well, on a side note. It was... old. And something about how it connected to the past required... lengthy scanning. Even with his power charges, the more in depth the scan the less time it would take to understand it on a conceptual level and allow him to finally go home. So... patience was needed.
Thank goodness it was such a delicious task.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
His claws gripped the edge of the well, helping him to get out of the stupid thing. Careful to not scratch the structure, he sat on the edge and gathered himself emotionally.
And... well, to be honest, he was worried.
Kagome had held up well against many demons, beasts, and dangerous fights and regions... but the recent issues had caused the rift between them to grow. At a terrible time too, as she had only just recovered from a light poisoning before heading back to the future.
Not that he was going to TELL her that he was worried about her. She may be the reincarnation of his love and hold the power of a priestess, but at the end of the day she was a human child. In retrospect, it was amazing that she hadn't broken down badly BEFORE this.
But she tended to be very violent when surprised. Or supported. Or embarrassed. Or bored?
Was he a masochist?
...Maybe. Sigh.
With a gentle flip, he made a perfect landing.
"Squeak!"
He blinked. Looked down.
Alright, a near perfect landing. "Is this a cat toy?"
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
This should hurt, right? There was a foot on his face.
Adam contemplated life as whoever it was lifted him and began squishing him. "Squeak."
Yeah, this should probably hurt. Did this body not have nerves?
It would explain why being squeezed by Kagome's mom didn't really make him bother to wake up.
Oh, he was let go. And floating again.
Was that controllable? If random creatures floated around a lot, it would probably be more accepted than the locals had acted so far. So probably not normal.
His right ear absently flapped, causing a slow roll in the air. Oh, he was caught again. "Squeak."
This guy had claws too. Each finger had very sharp tips... which did nothing to his squishy side.
So... not sturdy or rigid, but this body was VERY durable. And squishy. "Squeak?"
The dog thing blinked. "Oh. Sorry."
"Squeaker Squeak Squeak Squeakin!"
The creature paused. THAT would show him!
"The heck." Squish. "Squeak!"
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Kagome blinked. "Inuyasha?"
The half-demon scowled, holding the Baku by one leg. "Hey, not to bother you and all but what the heck IS this thing!?" He frowned as he squished it a few times. "Stepped on it near your well, which feels all kinds of weird now."
Her eyebrow ticked as she watched the guy squish the Baku like an accordion. "Inuyasha?"
He blinked. "Yea?"
"SIT!"

Ooh, did we get that!? Dragon, did we scan that!?
Her voice confirmed. "Full scan of Inuyasha's necklace, the spiritual pattern to activate it, and the energy signature needed."
Great! Adam wouldn't activate it himself of course, but now there was a set of examples he could use to remote activate existing spiritual frameworks!
Landmines, maybe portals, even just remote control bedroom lights. All kinds of remote activated options were now available! The only other abilities 'Harmony' had picked up were the use of talismans and arrows to deliver spiritual payloads, or ritual walking and pacing to set boundaries!
He set the girls off to research and trial the new concepts even as Kagome picked him up away from the new floor-guest. That 'Sit' command was really a jerk move, acting like a massive physical assault from gravity to crater you into the earth. It was a spiritual attack too, so it could hurt the soul of lesser beings. This guy seemed fine though.
Narwhal's voice popped in. "But the necklace was a gift from the old priestess, right? That Kikyo girl?"
He blinked. What?
Narwhal nodded in his head. "Yeah, it wasn't going to be the phrase 'Sit' to activate it, but 'beloved'. Like an anti-safe-word."
Adam narrowed his eyes. So. The necklace was a kinky sex thing that Kagome accidentally got a hold of, Huh? Then again, Kagome was a reincarnation of that naughty girl. And Inuyasha never did act THAT injured after being 'hurt' by it so often. He didn't want his memories of the show tainted by that thought. Not that he was a fan of the thing really.
He blinked. Wait, how the HECK would she know all that? No, why would HE know that!? 'Harmony' couldn't have gathered those details. Or... these others.
Nightmare Moon sent her thoughts. "We noticed the new memories appearing after you entered this Realm. Seems to be part of the traveling process, something from your original source of powers. A base level of understanding of the realm you travel to, and a possible timeline."
He felt Twilight nod. "They only took this long to integrate because we were checking them for hidden issues. We were worried that even mentioning them could set off some sort of conceptual attack or whatever, but the option was taken from our hooves when you were stepped on by Inuyasha. Then they sort of... popped into place."
Huh.
So... did that mean his memories of My Little Pony and Worm only showed up when he entered their universe?
That was both useful and terrifying.
Anyway, ignore the existential horror of implanted memories, ignore the kinky sex necklace, and ignore the current cuddles.
Back to the well of death and deliciousness!
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Asako watched the tiny elephant thing pomph its way back outside to that old well again as her daughter continued to rant at her 'not boyfriend'. How adorable.
She had been following the tiny creature out of curiosity for most of the day now, fascinated by the flower spewing cat-sized creature.
What little spiritual detection skills she had went nuts over those rings it set up, but after checking with father-in-law, they seemed harmless enough. Useful even.
She had almost lept to the defense of the tiny thing when that dog boy stepped on it, only to find out that whatever the Baku was crafted from didn't really care about being squished. Or pulled. Or poked. It was like an adorable stress ball that went through life enjoying anything.
Even now, it was bumbling along like a very fat cloud stuck to the ground.
Not that it was fat. Much. It was part elephant. Should she put it on a diet?
COULD she? It ate nightmares and what seemed to be bad karma, how would one limit that to a healthy level?
Maybe she should give Kagome and Sota chocolate milk before bed or something. A bedtime story should help bad dreams stay away, right?
Either way, it was a good excuse to pamper her two darlings for a night or two. Who dares say they are too old for the love of a mother!? Her babies needed their stories!
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
A perverted priest and ninja maiden waited next to a demonic bone devouring well, many years in the past. They were both ignoring the small fox child gazing into the hole.
Having been reprimanded many times by the woman beside him, the priest sighed with a bruised head as he gazed at the portal to another time. "I wonder how long they will take this time."
He blinked. "Sango, you don't think the two are actually using the future as a love hideaway for their twisted fantasies..." Ignoring her glare, he nodded. "Indeed, their love must have brewed thick with tension and denial until the only release was to thrust themselves through time itself."
With a deep blush Sango swung her arm, the massive boomerang attempting to smack into the back of the priest's head. "Perverted priest, don't SAY such things! Kagome would have your head for even suggesting it."
The man blocked the large weapon of demon bone with practiced ease, his staff blocking it. "Ah, but of course the innocent damsel would deny her true feelings! I, Miroku, have a lifetime of trials and tribulations finding the secret dreams of young girls hearts and setting them free to new experiences and passions!"
THAT time he failed to block, the massive boomerang acting more like a sword than projectile as he was knocked away. "Argh, why do you get worse as soon as those two leave the area!? Find some decency for once!"
With grumbles she turned and waved at the small fox-like creature near the well's edge. "Shippo, let's leave this sick man alone. I don't think Inuyasha or Kagome will be back today and this love obsessed fool can't figure out the strange holy aura issue anyway."
The tiny Kitsune sighed but followed. "Alright Sango."
As the two left the twitching religious man behind, Shippo glanced back at the well. It had started feeling odd ever since they had gotten here this morning, much more so just as Inuyasha was jumping inside to travel.
Not bad, but... it felt out of place. Well, more so than usual.
Absently, he wished once again that he could get older sooner, to become more useful to the team than his small pile of tricks and stealth. An adult Kitsune with their powerful tails could weave fantasy as a blade or twist nature asunder! Half the creatures that tried to bully or attack them would be 'bamph' and 'boom'! Shippo saves the day! But all he could do now was just... feel things. Understand stuff.
Whatever had happened to the well, it wasn't bad... but it felt changed.
And flowery. And did he smell peanuts? The heck!?
It was bad enough that they assumed him to be mentally a child (Something the people in his head agreed with), no reason to let them know that he was a grown man gently chewing on a girls paperwork.
It was for her local use, not school related, but... well. Yeah.
Anyway, he ALSO discovered that anything Kagome focused on would slowly gain her holy aura, or priestess taste, or something.
Point is, it gained a spiritual essence.
It was why he fell asleep so easily in her bed: That thing was soaked in raw holy power.
And soft.
So yeah, eventually everyone stopped poking him or complaining about his eating habits and he was back to exploring the territory.
Now that he knew about the whole 'Circles of Yami' spiritual shield thing however, his first self appointed task was to make several passes along the circumference of the shrine.
Then several passes around the house.
And finally... that delicious, decaying well of despair.
Best. Decision. Ever!
After several passes around the shrine, easy enough to do since the weak shielding already there was a good guide, a wall of power rapidly built up. Energy built up quickly after that, faith in the air being captured more easily within the shrine in minutes. Any positive energies that bumped into this property would just hang around now instead of wandering off.
It felt wonderful! And the loose white blossoms trailing behind him after several passes seemed to melt into the ground, making it look like carved stone instead of actual petals. So... it was not going to blow away. That was nice. Looked artistic too!
The second ring around the house also became a stone flower patterned trail. The level of holy power inside the home thanks to these two rings reached VERY dense levels. Probably wouldn't cause problems, as long as any demons that entered were approved by the residents.
But uh... bad people might catch on fire. Like... real fire. Not just demon people either, if a murderer showed up there might be a sudden torch issue.
Meh, should be fine.
It was getting late however when he started circling the 'Bone-Eater`s Well.'
The energy from the thing was foul. Dank. Only the power from the shrine itself kept it from corroding the soil and air around it. If you got too close to the hole itself, whispering of demons past echoed just beyond hearing.
Nothing tasted sweeter.
After the new shell of power was established around the thing, Adam fell against the outer edge of the well and just... drank deep. Black ooze like snacks everywhere!
The 'Bone-Eater`s Well' was an ancient thing. To preserve health and protect others in the past, rubbish and bones from beasts and demons were tossed into it over hundreds of years. Sort of like a very specialized landfill.
Of course, a lifetime of dumping magical demon bones into a well would have side effects. Even WITH purification.
But for now, he was at peace laying as a lump and gently licking the dark energies that swirled ever thicker inside the new barrier.
'Harmony' was helping 'Research' to scan the well, on a side note. It was... old. And something about how it connected to the past required... lengthy scanning. Even with his power charges, the more in depth the scan the less time it would take to understand it on a conceptual level and allow him to finally go home. So... patience was needed.
Thank goodness it was such a delicious task.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
His claws gripped the edge of the well, helping him to get out of the stupid thing. Careful to not scratch the structure, he sat on the edge and gathered himself emotionally.
And... well, to be honest, he was worried.
Kagome had held up well against many demons, beasts, and dangerous fights and regions... but the recent issues had caused the rift between them to grow. At a terrible time too, as she had only just recovered from a light poisoning before heading back to the future.
Not that he was going to TELL her that he was worried about her. She may be the reincarnation of his love and hold the power of a priestess, but at the end of the day she was a human child. In retrospect, it was amazing that she hadn't broken down badly BEFORE this.
But she tended to be very violent when surprised. Or supported. Or embarrassed. Or bored?
Was he a masochist?
...Maybe. Sigh.
With a gentle flip, he made a perfect landing.
"Squeak!"
He blinked. Looked down.
Alright, a near perfect landing. "Is this a cat toy?"
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
This should hurt, right? There was a foot on his face.
Adam contemplated life as whoever it was lifted him and began squishing him. "Squeak."
Yeah, this should probably hurt. Did this body not have nerves?
It would explain why being squeezed by Kagome's mom didn't really make him bother to wake up.
Oh, he was let go. And floating again.
Was that controllable? If random creatures floated around a lot, it would probably be more accepted than the locals had acted so far. So probably not normal.
His right ear absently flapped, causing a slow roll in the air. Oh, he was caught again. "Squeak."
This guy had claws too. Each finger had very sharp tips... which did nothing to his squishy side.
So... not sturdy or rigid, but this body was VERY durable. And squishy. "Squeak?"
The dog thing blinked. "Oh. Sorry."
"Squeaker Squeak Squeak Squeakin!"
The creature paused. THAT would show him!
"The heck." Squish. "Squeak!"
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Kagome blinked. "Inuyasha?"
The half-demon scowled, holding the Baku by one leg. "Hey, not to bother you and all but what the heck IS this thing!?" He frowned as he squished it a few times. "Stepped on it near your well, which feels all kinds of weird now."
Her eyebrow ticked as she watched the guy squish the Baku like an accordion. "Inuyasha?"
He blinked. "Yea?"
"SIT!"

There were at least two instances in which the "Sit!" was used to save Inuyasha, pulling him out of the way of attacks he couldn't dodge or parry otherwise.
