Disclaimer: We HAVE NOT, DO NOT, or WILL NOT own Inu-Yasha (copyright Rumiko Takahashi) or The Little Mermaid (copyright Disney and Hans Christian Anderson.) Why must you remind us of this, you sadist?!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome woke up and stretched, smiling at the sun that poured into her room. "Ahhh! What a beautiful day!" She rose and walked to the kitchen, where she made herself some toast. As she munched away, she heard the mail-truck stop and then drive away. "Huh," she mused, "the mail's coming awfully early today." She shrugged as she swallowed her last piece of toast and headed out the door.
As she neared the mailbox, a horrible feeling overcame her. She shook it off. "I thought that bread looked a tad moldy," she reasoned. She took a deep breath as she opened the mailbox to find a lonely letter sitting by itself. She picked it up and examined it. She turned on her heels and strolled back toward the house.
And yet, she couldn't take the anticipation any longer, so she ripped open the letter with her teeth and read it. Her eyes widened as she read it, whispering, "No…no…" When she finished, she dropped to her knees and screamed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
It read:
Congratulations, Miss Higurashi!
Your contract with Aiko, Arte, and Neemis has been renewed! You are cast as Ariel in their production of "The Little Human".
Failure to show up to rehearsals will result in DEATH!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Later, at the studio…
The cast grumbled and groaned. Sesshoumaru cried. "W-w-w-whyyyyy am I only a si-si-si-sister?! WAAAAAAAAH!"
Inu-Yasha crossed his arms. "Hmph. At least YOU get to sing!"
Hojou seemed to be content, though. "Yay! I get to be in it!" He scratched his head. "But what kind of a name is 'Ariel's sister' for a guy part?"
Sango sighed. "I give up! Will I EVER be a normal character?! I'm Flounder for Kami's sake!"
Suddenly, a voice came from seemingly nowhere. "QUIEEEEEEET!"
"Huh?" The cast looked around, confused.
"DOWN HERE!" Aiko called. And yes, there she was. "Stop your blubbering!" she commanded, thwapping Sesshoumaru on the bum with a rolled up newspaper, causing him to whimper like a doggy.
She grinned maniacally. "I'll be your director for a while. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride." She smirked. "Well that's what I'll be doing anyway."
And with that, she climbed onto her director's chair and screeched, "AAAAAAAANNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDD…. ACTION!!!"
*************************************
(The camera pans across a foggy ocean. Seagulls call and flap through the scene. Porpoises flip through the water. Suddenly, through the fog emerges a ship full of male demons singing heartily. Music cues up.)
Miscellaneous Sailors: (singing)
I'll tell you a tell of the infinite blue,
And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho!
Look out, boy, a human be waitin' for you
In mysterious fathoms below!
Inu-Yasha: Ah...Isn't this great? The salty sea air, wind blowin' in yer face…A great day to set sail!
Myouga: (barfing over the side of the ship. Looks up.) Oh hai…wonderful…
Sailor 1: A fine strong wind and a followin' sea. King Higurashi-jiji must be in high spirits today.
Inu-Yasha: (looks confused) King Higurashi-jiji?
Sailor 2: (walks up, holding a human, who is shrieking) Why, ruler of the humans, o' course! I thought every good sailin' youkai knew about 'im!
Myouga: (incredulously) HA! Humans! Don't listen to any of that naval nonsense!
Sailor 2: But it ain't nonsense, it's the truth! I'm telling ye, they live deep down in the ocean, they do. (waves his hands about and the human flops out into the ocean.)
Sailors: (singing)
Heave. ho. Heave, ho. In mysterious fathoms below.
(Human sighs and swims away to the gathering of people. Humans of all shapes and sizes fill a concert hall and a flourish proceeds.)
Regal-looking Human: (clears throat) His regal, his imperial highness, King Higurashi-jiji. (Grandpa Higurashi enters and the hall erupts in applause.) And now entering the noble court composer Reginald Nancy (Miroku calls, "It's a family name!") Richardus Lecherous Miroku! (He enters, bowing, and receives meager applause.)
Kagome's Grandpa(KG): I'm really looking forward to this recital, Miroku.
Miroku: Oh, Higurashi-sama, this shall be the most excellent concert I have ever conducted! Your granddaughters will look sexy---I mean be spectacular!
KG: (Gives him a look.) Hai…especially my little Kagome.
Miroku: (nods) Hai, hai, she has the most beautiful, voluptuous brea---I mean the most beautiful voice! Heh heh…(to self) If only she'd show up to rehearsals once in a blue moon…(walks to podium and taps his little stick-thingy)
(The daughters all sit in big giant clamshells. The first contains Yuka, sitting and waving. The second holds Eri, smiling. The third shows Ayumi. The fourth has a confused Hojou where a clam-bra and trying to cover himself. Sesshoumaru is next, and oh, what a show he is. He is decked out in diamonds and glitter. His flippers are pink and shiny and his eyelids are encrusted with jewels. Souta sits in the last.)
All: (singing)
We're the granddaughters of Higurashi
Grandfather that loves us and named us well:
Katrina (Yuka swims up and winks, then swims away.)
Kaylana (Eri does the same)
Kathryn (Ayumi swims in a circle, waves, winks, and swims away)
Kristina (Hojou has some coordination trouble and ends up crawling away.)
Karianna-hime-pea (Sesshoumaru swims up and bats his eyelashes, dancing around and flirting, he swims off)
Katarella (Souta begins to swim up and Sesshoumaru pushes him back, being a ham again)
And then there is another in her musical debut,
She's the 7th sister and we're showing her to you,
To sing a song Miroku wrote, call her what you may,
She our sister Kago---(shell opens and there is no Kagome)*GASP*
KG: (fuming) KAGOME!!!!
(The scene changes to Kagome at a sunken ship.)
Kagome: Oh, Sango! Hurry up!
Sango: (swims up) You know I can't swim that fast. (looks annoyed and mumbles to self) Though I can swim perfectly FINE...
Kagome: Here it is! Isn't it wonderful?
Sango: Uh huh…yeah…c-can we go now?
Kagome: You're not gettin' cold feet now, are ya?
Sango: (scoffs) Me? Scared? It just looks a tad…wet in there. A-and I think I may be getting a touch of the flu. (feigns illness unpersuasively)
Kagome: (nods) Okay, I'm going in. You can stay out here and…watch for rapists and serial killers. (quickly darts inside)
Sango: Okay you go. I'll stay here and watch for ra—Hey! Kagome! (Tries to squeeze through hole, although she can easily fit through.) Kagome, help! I can't…I mean…I…Help, Kagome!
Miroku: (comes out of nowhere) This is my cue… (winks)
Sango: (eyes grow wide) Hell no! Get away, houshi!
(From offstage, he receives the evil eye and walks off, whimpering)
Miroku: Fine…
(Scene resumes as usual.)
Kagome: (laughs and swims over, as Sango easily swims through) Oh, Sango.
Sango: (doing a stage whisper) Hey, you don't think there are really rapists and serial killers out here, do you? (A shadowy figure passes outside)
Kagome: Sango, don't be such a baby.
Sango: (indignant) I am NOT a baby! (swims a little farther) I love this stuff…Adventure, excitement…mystery hiding behind ev—AHHHHHH! Kagome! (She sees a grinning youkai skull crash to the ground. She backs into Kagome, and she falls over.)
Kagome: Sango, daijoubu ka?
Sango: Yeah yeah, I'm fine.
Kagome: Shhh…quiet… (is mystified by a shiny fork) *GASP* Have you ever seen anything so utterly fantastic?
Sango: It's uh…great. But what is it?
Kagome: (shrugs) I'm not quite sure, but I'm sure Shippou'll know. (drops it into her bag as the mugger's figure passes.)
Sango: (eyes grow wide as she looks around warily) Did you hear something?
Kagome: (Intrigued by an old rotted wooden pipe) I wonder what this is used for…
Sango: Kagome…
Kagome: Sango, settle down. Nothing is going to happen! Everything will be fine!
Sango: (Sees a mugger rise behind Kagome) AHHHHHHH! Swim swim swim! We're gonna be raped and murdered!
(The mugger chases them around. Kagome realized she left her bag of trinkets in the ship. She goes back for them and they are almost hit by the mugger. They swim through a porthole, and crash through. Sango shouts, "Oh no!" They circle round and round and she is then knocked silly. Kagome drags her out of the way and traps the mugger in a trunk.)
Sango: Ha! Take that, you jerk! (The trunk moves and Sango swims to Kagome)
Kagome: (laughs) Sango, you're just a 'fraidy cat.
Sango: (pouts) Am not!
(On the surface, Shippou is sitting on an island humming to himself and looking through the big end of the telescope.)
Kagome: Shippou!
Shippou: (sees a tiny Kagome) Human off the starboard hull! (shouts) KAGOME! HOW ARE YOU?! (Kagome pushes down the telescope and reveals she's within an arms length.) Wow. You should join the 'lympics!
Kagome: (eyes full of wonder) Shippou-chan! Look what we found!
Sango: We were in an abandoned ship…it was eerie!
Shippou: Youkai stuff, eh? Lessee…(picks up the fork and sniffs it) Hmm…Wow. Wouldja lookit that. This is special.
Kagome: (eager) Nani? What is it?
Shippou: (matter-of-factly) Well, it's OBVIOUSLY a dinglehopper! Youkai use it to keep their fur straight. See…you just twist and pull here and…(uses it to style his hair, resulting in a twirly Elvis-style doo) And VOILA! You got yourself an artistically satisfyin' hair style!
Kagome: A dinglehopper!
Sango: (points to the pipe) What about that?
Shippou: Oh this? It's a instr'ment…a snarfblat!
Kagome and Sango: Ahh….
Shippou: Yeah…this goes back to the times when Youkai smelled really bad and did nothin' all day but eat rocks. It was sooo boring that they decided to invent the snarfblat to make lovely music. Like so. (the snarfblat makes a fart-like noise and seaweed and dirt pours out.)
Kagome: (slaps her forehead) UGH! Music! The Concert! Kami… Ji-chan's gonna kill me!
Sango: (bites her lip) That was today!?
Shippou: (deeply engrossed by the pipe) Maybe if you put some pretty flowers in it…
Kagome: G-gomen nasai, Shippou-chan. I have to go. Arigato! (swims off with Sango)
Shippou: Anytime!
(Next we see Naraku and Jaken, along with Kikyou, looking at a projection of Kagome swimming)
Kikyou: Ahhh…that's right, hurry home, hime-sama. We wouldn't want to miss ji-chan's little shindig, now would we? HA! Shindig indeed! Hmm…In my day, we had unrivaled feasts when I resided at the castle. And now look at me! Wasted away to a shell of what I once was. Banished…exiled…starved for attention! Well, I've had it…and it's time they realized! Naraku! Jaken! I want you to pay EXTRA close attention to this little girly. She may be the key to Higurashi-jiji's downfall… (smiles maliciously)
(The screen darkens, then lightens to Kagome being reprimanded.)
KG: I just don't know what I'm going to do with you, Kagome.
Kagome: Ji-chan, I'm sorry, I…
KG: As a result of your irresponsible behavior…
Miroku: (clucking and shaking his head in disapproval, and at the same time, trying to sneak a peak at her cleavage) Reckless abandon!
KG: The whole ceremony was…it was…
Miroku: I'll tell you what it was! It was ruined! Destroyed! The climax (puts emphasis on that word) of my whole career…turned into my biggest embarrassment!
Sango: (gets mad and wags a finger at Miroku) HEY! It isn't her fault! Well…er…At first, we attacked by a mugger! And we tried to…but we couldn't…and then whoosh…BAM! THWACK! Then we…whooooa! Then, we were finally safe. Then this youkai came and said this is this and that is that…and—
KG: Youkai?! That means you went to the surface!! Kagome? KAGOME?!
(Miroku winks and blows kisses to Sango, who growls and turns away)
Kagome: N-nothing happened! I…
KG: (sighs) How many times do I have to tell you? You…you could've been seen by one of those…those savages! O-one of those DEMONS!
Kagome: Ji-chan, they're not savages!
KG: They're dangerous! Do you think I want to see my favorite grandchild caught by one of those monsters?
Kagome: I'm 15 years old…I'm not a child any longer…
KG: (angry) Don't you take an attitude with me, little missy. As long as you live in my ocean, you'll follow my rules!
Kagome: B-but if you'd just hear me out…
KG: NO! Silence! IF I EVER hear of you remotely NEAR the surface world again, you'll wish you'd never been born! (Kagome swims off, crying)
Miroku: Hmph…Hot girls. They think they RULE the world!
KG: (face softens) You don't think I…was too hard on her, do you?
Miroku: 'Course not…Why, if Kagome's punishment was in my hands…I'd spank her so hard and tell her what a BAD girl she…was… (KG is looking at him angrily, and gulps, laughing nervously.) Yup…keep her under an iron fist.
KG: You're so right, Miroku.
Miroku: Hai.
KG: She needs to be watched over 24-7.
Miroku: Three-sixty-five.
KG: Someone to watch her every move.
Miroku: Her every curvaceous movement…(gets a bright idea) Hey, I know! I'll do it! (He scampers off)
(Cut to Miroku walking down a hallway)
Miroku: (beaming happily) Oh yeah…every day near Kagome and my beautiful Sango. COULD life better? I submit that it cannot! (laughs in good spirits. He then sees the two aforementioned ladies sneaking off.) Huh? What are they up to? (follows and slips into the grotto)
Sango: (concerned) Kagome, daijoubu ka?
Kagome: I just wish I could make him see it the way I do. We just don't see eye-to-eye. How could a place that makes such beautiful things be so horrible?
(starts singing. Meanwhile, Miroku is hiding, unsuccessfully, behind watches, buckets, thimbles, etc. Sango and Kagome fail to notice.)
Look at these things,
Aren't they cool?
Wouldn't ya think my assortment is full?
Wouldn't you guess I'm the girl…
The girl who's got…everything. (swims around her grotto)
Look at this heap
Fortunes countless
One look and you say my collection's boundless
See all this stuff and ya think,
Well, she has everything.
Of thingies and knick-knacks I've got many
I've got things I don't know they're used for
You want doohickeys? (picks up an odd-looking object)
I've got plenty!
But who cares?
No big deal…
I want more.
I wanna go where the demons are
I wanna see
Wanna see 'em hunting
Stalking around on those… (turns to Sango)
Whaddaya call 'em?
Oh… Claws (smiles and swipes playfully at Sango, who recoils)
With these fins, you can't kill a thing
Claws are required for slashing, swiping…
Catching its prey in those…
What's that word again? (looks thoughtful)
Jaws
Up where they walk
Where they have fun
Where they can bathe all day in the sun
Blissful and free
Wish I could be
Part of that world…
What would I sell
If I could dwell
Outta these waters
What would I say
Just to stay
On sun-kissed sands (snuggles into the sand)
Betcha up there (sits up)
They're very fair
Bet they don't yell at their granddaughters
Bright young demons
Sick of dreamin'
Ready to bear *responsibility* (stands up straight and dutifully)
I wanna know what the demons know
I'm gonna ask questions
And they're gonna answer
Like what is a fire and why does it
What's the word?
Burn
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to run for the shore
Up above….
Blissful and free
Wish I could be
(swims up to the small hole that lets the light in and reach up)
Part of that….
World….
(sighs as she retracts her hand. Miroku stumbles over something, and she and Sango gasp, turn around, and glare at the sheepish looking Miroku)
Kagome: M-Miroku?!
Miroku: Kagome! Are you insane!? What would your---what is all this stuff?
Kagome: It's…it's my collection.
Miroku: Collection? If your grandfather saw this place he'd…he'd…
Sango: (gasps and puts her hand to her mouth) You're not gonna tell him, are you?
Kagome: Please, Miroku. He wouldn't understand! (both girl pout)
Miroku: (falters at the sight) Uh…yeah…just come with me and I'll make you feel all better… (wink)
Sango: (slaps him across the face as a ship passes) MIROKU!
Kagome: (follows the shadow) Now what could that…
Miroku: Kagome? Kagome!
(Kagome swims up to the surface. Fireworks explode in the sky, and Kagome looks at it, stunned. Sango and Miroku swim up, bickering)
Miroku: Geez, Sango…I couldn't help it. I prefer your bu…Kagome! What in the name of Kami are you doing up here?! (Kagome swims up to the ship, entranced) Kagome! Get back here!
Kagome: (watches everybody on the ship, her eyes lit up. Suddenly, Kirara comes up and discovers her. The cat meows at her and she ducks as Inu-Yasha approaches.)
Inu-Yasha: (whistles to get Kirara's attention) Kirara! Here girl! You crazy cat! What're you doin' over here? Good girl! (Kagome is taken aback by Inu-Yasha. The puppy ears atop his head, the golden eyes, silver hair, and handsome face intrigue her.) [A/N: I just had to add that ^^;]
Shippou: (crawls over to Kagome) Hi, Kags! Pretty good party, huh?
Kagome: Shh! Shippou-chan, they'll hear you!
Shippou: (nods solemnly) Ahh…I got it… We're bein' stealthilious . WE'RE GONNA--- (Kagome puts her hand over his mouth)
Kagome: I…I've never seen a youkai…er…hanyou, actually, this close before. He's so…handsome.
Shippou: (quirks an eyebrow as he sees Kirara) Well, I think it's a SHE.
Kagome: Not HER! (turns Shippou's head) The one playing the snarfblat!
Myouga: Quiet…quiet!!! It is now my pleasure to present Inu-Yasha-sama with a very very VERY costly birthday gift!
Inu-Yasha: (nudges Myouga with his finger) Aw, Myouga y'old pest, you shouldn't have!
Myouga: Yeah, I know. Happy Birthday, Inu-Yasha-sama! (on cue a sailor whips a sheet off the present, revealing a gaudy, gold statue with Inu-Yasha looking regal, holding Tetsusaiga. Kirara snorts.)
Inu-Yasha: (tries to think of what to say) Uh…gee…Myouga…it's…uhh…
Myouga: I ordered it m'self! Though I expected to give it to you for your wedding…
Inu-Yasha: (rolls his eyes, sighing) Not this again, Myouga! You're not still pissed because I didn't fall head over heels for the princess of the Ookami tribe, are ya?
Myouga: M'lord, it isn't just me. The whole empire wants you to settle down with Ms. Right.
Inu-Yasha: I know she's out there...I just haven't met her yet. (looks wistful)
Myouga: Well, maybe you haven't been meeting up with the right crowds!
Inu-Yasha: I don't need to look, Myouga. When I see her, it'll hit me like lightning!
(Suddenly, the sky grow dark and thunder rumbles. A bolt of lightning lights up the sky.)
Inu-Yasha: Speak of the…
Sailor: Man the decks! A storm's a-blowin'! (lightning strikes near the ship and the wind picks up)
Shippou: ACK! The wind's too strong! (gets blown away) KAGOME!
(The ship continues through the storm, rocking back and forth violently. Suddenly, a large rock seemingly rises ahead of them. Lightning starts a fire on board)
Inu-Yasha: Watch out! (The ship slams into the rock, and all are thrown over except Kirara, who is trapped behind the flames. So much for a fire cat, eh?) Hold on Myouga! Myouga? (looks around to discover the flea has already made a get away) Ugh! That damned…(sees Kirara) Kirara! Hold on, girl! Jump girl, jump! You can do it! (Kirara leaps off and lands in Inu-Yasha arms. Kirara is saved, but Inu-Yasha trips and is trapped now)
Myouga: (from a safe distance) Lord Inu-Yasha!!
(BOOOM! The ship explodes and is engulfed in flames. Kagome sees the floundering Inu-Yasha, and pulls him away before he drowns. It is morning now. Kagome has dragged the unconscious Inu-Yasha on land and sits beside him)
Kagome: Is he…d-dead?
Shippou: (lifts Inu-Yasha's eyelids and pokes his cheeks in an annoying manner) Hmm…I can't really tell. (puts his ear to Inu-Yasha's foot) *GASP!* I can't hear a heart beat!
Kagome: (shakes her head) No, look! He's breathing. He's so…beautiful.
(sings)
What would I give
If I could live up here where you are?
What would I say
Just to stay right here beside you?
How would it feel to have you
Smile at me?
Where would we hunt?
What would we kill?
If I could share with you this thrill?
Just you and me,
Then I would be
Part of your world….
(Sango and Miroku watch from behind a rock)
Miroku: Is that how you feel about me, Sango? (grabs her butt)
Sango: (slaps him) Just the killing part…
(Back with Inu-Yasha and Kagome, Myouga approaches, and Kagome quickly escapes)
Myouga: Inu-Yasha-sama! Oh…you really enjoy giving me heart attacks, don't you?
Inu-Yasha: A girl, she…saved my life. She sang in the most beautiful voice. (mumbles) Not as beautiful as mine, though…
Myouga: Whatever you say. Psh…imaginary woman saving lives…RIGHT!
Miroku: (turning to Kagome) We gotta forget all about this. (wipes his forehead) Phew…I could lose my job, not to mention my head! When I volunteered, how would I have known such a hottie was also such a problem?! (Sango rolls her eyes and they descend into the ocean)
Kagome: (climbs onto a rock and flicks her hair back, singing)
I dunno when…
I dunno how…
But I know something's starting right nooooow!
Watch and you'll see
Someday I'll be…
Part of your WOOOOOOOOORLD! (A wave crashes behind her and she looks all dramatic-like)
(The screen darkens.)
*************************************
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAND CUT!" Aiko shouted, as the camera shut off for the day. She sighed and yawned, happy her turn was now up.
The cast heaved its own, cliché, unison-sigh and flopped down.
"Thank gods it's over…for today at least!" Kagome said, putting on some clothes.
Inu-Yasha nodded. "You're telling me!"
Aiko smirked. "Whimps!" and with that, she walked out, throwing her coat over her shoulder.
