Hi! Just a cute one-shot that came to me while singing pointless children's songs to my numerous little sisters. Hope it makes you laugh!
DISCLAIMER:
Takahashi-san had a hanyo,
She drew him every week;
Fangirls mobbed her constantly,
Just to get a peek.
I don't own Inuyasha, just this random idea.
Kagome Had a Hanyo
"KAGOOOOOMMMMEEEE!!" Shippo yelled, bouncing into Kaede's hut. The group was taking a short break from hunting down Naraku so Kagome had returned home for a day or two. Apparently, the miko of the future had arrived back in the Sengoku Jidai while Shippo was taking his walk in the village.
"Shippo!" Came the girl's eager reply. She quickly pulled a lollipop from her bag and handed it to him - making sure to unwrap it first. The kit loved lollipops so much that he would devour them whole - wrapper, stick, and all - if she wasn't careful. She wasn't sure how yokai digestive systems would react to paper and plastic.
"Thanks, Kagome!" Shippo bounced onto Kagome's head to devour his treat. From that vantage point, he noticed his adoptive mother pull something out of her Giant Backpack of Wonders. "Kagome...what's that?"
She held up the paper so he could see. "It's called 'homework...' it has to do with school in my time. The sensei gives me an assignment, and I take it home and complete it. Then, the next time I go to school," 'Which may be months from now, thanks to Inuyasha,' she mentally added, "I give it back and the sensei tells me how well I did." 'All right...that's not the best explanation, but it'll have to do.'
Shippo eyed the paper suspiciously. "So, what does your sensei want you to do now?"
"Well...we were each given a different folk rhyme. We have to read it and write our own version of it, using the same basic idea but our own words. See this?"
The kitsune took the paper and read:
"Mary had a little lamb,
Whose fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went,
That lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rules;
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.
The teacher had to put it out,
But still it waited near;
It waited patiently about,
'Till Mary did appear.
'Why does the lamb love Mary so?'
The eager children cry,
'Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know.'
The teacher did reply."
Shippo pondered this piece of literature a moment. "Kagome...is a 'lamb' a boy?"
"No, no, Shippo...a lamb is an animal with puffy fur. Why would you think that a lamb is a boy?" Kagome chuckled.
"Well, it sounds a bit like Inuyasha. He has white hair, and he follows you through the well...even to your 'school' thingy."
'Well, that is true...' Kagome thought. "Say, Shippo...wanna help me write this poem?"
"YEAH!" The little kitsune yelled. "Wait...Kagome? What's a poem?"
XXXXX
'What's that damn wench up to,' an annoyed inu-hanyo thought. Kagome and Shippo had been in Kaede's hut, giggling, all morning. It was getting on his nerves.
"Let's go see if Sango wants to take a bath in the hot springs - she's probably sick of Miroku by now." Inuyasha's ears perked up as he heard Kagome's voice growing louder. Moments later, she and Shippo left the hut to look for the taiji-ya.
'Now let's see what was so funny...' The boy crept into the hut, ignoring the voice in his head that warned him not to mess with a girl's belongings.
Much to his surprise, there was nothing in the hut except a couple pieces of flat parchment from Kagome's time and one of those 'pen-sill' things she used to write. For some reason, Inuyasha's eye caught two of the words on the top piece of parchment.
'Kagome...hanyo...'
"What the..." Realizing a moment later that yelling profanities was probably not the best way to remain undiscovered, Inuyasha clapped one clawed hand over his mouth and slowly picked up the parchment with the other. There, he read:
"Kagome had a hanyo,
Whose hair was white as snow,
And everywhere Kagome went,
That boy was sure to go.
He followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rules;
It made the children stare and point -
'A dog-eared boy...at school?'
Kagome told him 'OSWARI,
Just wait for me at home!'
He waited patiently for her;
Never once did he roam.
'How can she love that selfish jerk?'
Kagome's friends do cry;
'He loves her and protects her, girls,'
Her mother softly sighs."
'WHAT THE HELL?' No longer caring who heard him, Inuyasha dashed out of the hut in search of the girl from the future.
"KAGOOOOOMMMMEEEE!?" 'We need to talk...'
