(Authors Note: For those of you that don't know, Inuyasha and Naruto are from different animes and they both LOVE ramen.)
Ramen Chase
It was like an old fashion showdown between good and evil, only neither of them was willing to give up the prize. Inuyasha's claws inched closer and closer to the Tetsaiga. A bead of sweat rolled down his temple. All his senses were on full alert. He began, "One."
Across from him, on the other side of the prize, was Naruto. His rolled up his sleeves and cracked knuckles, making sure his fingers were ready to go. They slowly formed into a hand sign. He grinded his feet into the ground ready to sprint forth. He continued, "Two."
Everything was quiet. All the bystanders stood still, jaws open, frozen from whatever they were doing. This was going to be one of the most important battles either of them has ever fought…..there was only package of RAMEN left in the entire convenience store…..
Between them, in the middle of the store was the lonely display. The word RAMEN was written on the banner, SPECIAL PRICE $6.99. Only one package of RAMEN was left sitting on the counter. Finally, the two of them shouted at the same time, "THREE!"
At once, the two started with a test of speed. They sprinted forward. Naruto, with the home court advantage, was in the lead. He snatched the last RAMEN while Inuyasha went slipping and sliding on the recently mopped floor. He obviously didn't see the 'WET FLOOR' sign propped right beside him.
"Ah!" Naruto enjoyed his moment of victory while making his way casually towards the checkout counter. "Oh, no you don't!" Inuyasha pushed his way back into the competition with his specialty, "WIND SCAR!" Just as Naruto was about to touch down, a blow of flares cut off his path to 'Carla' the cashier lady. He crashed into the candy stand, too stunned to move.
Inuyasha snatched the RAMEN and proudly placed it on the check out counter. Carla looked at him, "That'll be $8.99, no credit cards," she said with the usual-fake-smile-cashiers-were-required-to-have. Inuyasha stared at her blankly, "What?"
"Oh, my mistake!" Carla interrupted, "That'll be $6.99. I almost forgot the 'special'. How silly of me!" Inuyasha searched through his clothes, "Will this do?" He held out one of Mirokus fake sutras.
Naruto regained his consciousness and saw Inuyasha as the counter with the RAMEN, not yet in a bag-to-go. 'There's still hope!' he gathered himself up and formed and hand sign, "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Four Narutos appeared and charged at Inuyasha, who was scanning the ground for any loose change. Just as he found a penny, Naruto grabbed the RAMEN. Everyone watched as the Narutos tossed the RAMEN around, laughing. Inuyasha couldn't keep up.
Just as all hope was about to be lost, Inuyasha finally snapped and changed his target, "IRON REVER SOUL STEALER!" He hit the Narutos until one remained. Naruto gulped and dropped the RAMEN to make another hand sign. The crowd watched as the two opponents fought each other, "IT'S MINE!" "NO, IT'S MINE!" "YOU'RE FAT ENOUGH AS IT IS!" "WELL AT LEAST I CAN PUT IT TO GOOD USE!"
He yanked at his hair while he pulled at his face. But not a single one of them realized Kagomes Mother reaching down, picking up the RAMEN, and making her way to the check out counter. Carla gave her a usual-fake-smile-cashiers-were-required-to-have and shoved the RAMEN into a bag-to-go.
Kagomes Mother smiled back giving her $6.99, "It's my lucky day! I got the last RAMEN! And I thought I'd be too late to beat the crowd."
