Disclaimer: I did not create InuYasha. Rumiko Takahashi did. I'm not that creative. Give me a break, I'm just a simple-minded parody writer.

This is fairly short, but I like it. If it was longer it'd just... I don't know... Ruin it. You know?
It's just a little parody on the whole 'Kikyo and Inuyasha together and Kagome sees them, oh my!' thing. No Kikyo bashing, no Kagome bashing, and no Inuyasha bashing.Well, I don't think so anyway. But I guess parodies bash everyone, right?

Inu-yasha's forest.

All is silent in the clearing, save for the sound of birds chirping serenely in the background.

The aforementioned hanyou landed softly in the area, appearing very anxious, if not a bit earnest.

He tensed at the rustling of a few soul collectors flowing farther into the forest, before making a one-eighty and coming back towards the clearing.

She was close.

"..Kikyo."

The deceased miko stepped out from behind a tree, looking solemn and sad and evil and- no, wait. Not evil. Did I say evil? I meant, uh, picturesque. Yeah. Picturesque.

Kikyo stood still for a moment, silent, contemplative, before finally speaking in her enigmatic voice.

"Naraku is gaining strength."

Inu-yasha hesitantly edged towards her, one hand outstretched.

"When the time come, I will be the one to defeat him, to have my revenge-"

Kikyo was cut off as Inuyasha slammed into her, and in all aspects of the word, gave her a great big bear hug.

Kikyo sighed. "Inuyasha... what are you doing?"

"..Kikyo!" He hugged her tighter.

"Yes, my name is Kikyo."

"...Kikyo..."

Okay then...

The miko tentatively returned his hug, her arms embracing him and her body relaxing into his hold, one of her hands conveniently wielding a dagger. Just, you know, to put him on edge. Hey, she's dead, she's gotta get her kicks somewhere...

The camera now zooms into Kagome, who, unbeknownst to Inuyasha, had been watching the scene (a very nice scenario and plot point used by both Rumiko Takahashi and fan fiction writers alike). Kikyo, of course, had known that Kagome was watching, but she really didn't care and it's not like she intended to initiate a bear-hugging session with Inuyasha in the first place.

The school girl's eyes momentarily filled with tears before she blinked them away, her angsty-ness passing fairly quickly. Whew, thank god that was fast, sentimentality always pissed her off.

"God, I hate those guys."

She paused.

"So much. So very, very much."

Kagome rotated her shoulders around a bit and held back a yawn before glancing around the forest area, spotting something more interesting.

"Oh, hey! Chocolate!"

She blinked.

"..Is that Shippou?"

Kagome attempted to work out the equation filling her head at that moment in time. Shippou plus chocolate equals... Uh...

"Hey! Shippou, where'd you get that? It better not have been from my bag. I told you-"

Kagome took another deep breath.

"Miroku, where are you going with my bike?"

She paused. Again.

Kagome attempted to work out this new, more challenging equation. Miroku plus bicycle equals...

"Miroku, where in the seven depths of hell did you learn to ride that thing anyway?"

Silence.

"Miroku? Are you listening to me? Hello!" Kagome ran off.

Inuyasha and Kikyo stood a good ten feet away, having been brought out of their, erm, romantic reverie moments ago by Kagome's blabbering.

Kikyo stared after Kagome, watching her run away in the opposite direction through faintly interested eyes.

"She seems very loyal."

Kikyo paused.

"And her attention span just amazes me."

"Keh!"

End

I am so easily amused.

Mou... I have a whole bunch of Inu-yasha one-shots. I can't decide if I should post them separately or post them all under one as different chapters. Any suggestions?
