Snippets in Time
Disclaimer: I do not make any profits from this whatsoever. I do not own Naruto. I also do not own Inuyasha and I highly doubt that I ever will. These two great Manga series belong strictly to their creators. Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto and Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi.
Chapter 1: Cradle Robber
(Takes place when Kagome is 10)
"Inuyasha-sensei, can I ask you something?"
An annoyed look. "What?"
"How old are you?"
A blink, then a pause. "Hmm…I wonder…"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means that I can't remember exactly how old I am you stupid girl."
An eyelid twitched. "Osuwari."
THWUMP
"So how old are you? Give me an estimate."
"…"
"Sensei?"
"…"
"Sensei?"
"…"
A dangerous look. "O—"
"Okay okay! Fine, you win! I'll tell you!"
A smug look.
"…It's hard to remember your age when time moves differently for you all right? Tell me this and I'll answer you. When was Konoha founded?"
"Uh…roughly 70 years ago."
"Then I'm 71."
"…Why?"
"I remember I was a year old when Konoha was first founded. My mother and I were one of the first citizens."
"…"
"Why so silent brat?"
"Nothing. It's just hard to believe that you're so old when you act like a child all the time sensei."
"OI!"
"What? It's true. You always get into arguments with Genma over everything, you pout and sulk when you're angry, you throw temper tantrums over the smallest things, you—"
"All right already! I get the picture." Grumbling.
A moment of silence. "Hey sensei, I just realized something."
"What?"
"You're dating Kikyo-sensei right?"
A cautious nod.
"If you're as old as you said you are, she's young enough to be your granddaughter."
He looked away.
A teasing smile. "Why sensei, you're quite the cradle robber aren't you?"
"…Shut up."
Okay here's the first drabble! XD
Instead of focusing on the usual description, I'm focusing on dialogue so this type of writing style is completely new for me. And if Inuyasha's 71 now, he's currently 67 in the most recent chapter of 'Tale of a Miko Kunoichi'.
You can send me ideas or requests on what topics you want to see come up in this drabble series.
Please review!
