Okay, here's the intro for my story.. I think this'll end up being suckish and all that, but I hope this time, it'll be a bit decent. I don't own InuYasha (but I do own a volume 17 of the manga XD.. a gift from a friend.. lol XD) Just telling you to get ready for boredom. My story kinda sucks (what can I do?! I'm a beginner in writing fanfics!).. Haha XD



It's a bright and peaceful morning. You can hear the birds chirping, the water trickling down the bamboo pipe, the branches and leaves of the trees swaying lightly in the gentle breeze, the faint morning buzzle of Tokyo City, and some dogs barking. You can hear all these in the Higurashi Shrine. But the most interesting sound that you can hear that morning is the humming of a young girl and some clatters of pots and pans, coming from the kitchen of the Higurashi residence.

Kagome, humming a tune and stirring a pot of stew while waiting for the water in the kettle to boil, is obviously in a good mood. The young girl is smiling so brightly that she might beat the sun in no time. Souta and Grandpa are sitting at the breakfast table, staring intently at Kagome. Finally, Souta spoke up and asked his grandfather.

"Gramps, why is sis so cheerful? It gives me the creeps."

The old man looked like he's analyzing a Sudoku puzzle. Finally, he answered the question of his grandson.

"She's probably possessed by a demon. Or an evil spirit," he concluded.

There was silence. Then the old man stood up.

"I'll go get some of my ofudas. And some ashes," he told Souta and vanished into the hallway.

"I don't think that'll work, Gramps," Souta called, but his grandfather was long gone looking for the ofudas.

"Plus, I don't think she's possessed by anything," Souta told himself.

After a few moments, Souta finally gave up trying to figure out what's the source of Kagome's good mood. He then decided to find out straight from her.

It won't hurt if I'll ask, right?, he thought.

Here goes nothing, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and asked.

"Uh, sis? Why are you in such a good mood?"

Kagome stopped humming and faced her brother.

"Why, it's Father's birthday today, Souta. Don't you remember?," Kagome answered.

"Oh, yeah. So that's why Mom takes so long in the bathroom," he muttered.

"Nah, that's just for today. We'll visit him this afternoon," Kagome told him.

Then the humming starts again. Souta sat on his chair, smiling silently at his sister, while Kagome returned to stirring the stew she was cooking. Really, it's a peaceful morning in Tokyo, Japan.


There you go. It's all finished. Gosh, I did that for five minutes. No wonder it's too short. Haha. I'll add the next chapter after.. maybe a week (got exams coming up, so don't rush me).. Sorry for being such a bore.. thanks for reading ^^
