(STILL Halloween Night in Modern-Day Tokyo)
"Don't freak out, Shippou," Souta assured the redhead currently hyperventilating at his side. He stared off into the darkening sky outside the living room, shifting on his feet uncomfortably as he realized they would be all alone, in the house…for an entire night…with no protection from child molesters…
…
"I'm sure everyone's alive and well," Souta assured Shippou nervously, not hinting at the scary images his mind was conjuring. Then, he added worriedly, "Wherever they are."
"THEY'RE DEAD!" the shorter boy shrieked. "DEAD, SOUTA, DEAD! MOMMYYYYYYYYYY!"
Like always, Souta found it very awkward his best friend just called his older sister his mother, but managed to shrug it off for the fear of the moment. Shuddering, he insisted once more, "They're okay, Ship. I know it. They just haven't come back yet is all."
Calming down somewhat, but still freaking out, Shippou demanded, "What's gonna happen if they don't come back by the time your mom and ojii-san get here tomorrow?"
The images of creepy men coming even faster—GAH!—Souta unwillingly mulled that consideration over. Then, he announced, not voicing his fears but an excuse to their legal guardians, "We shall do everything in our power to convince them everyone—Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Rin, everyone—took a last minute flight to Cuba to buy illegal margaritas and get drunk in the reckless celebration that is Halloween. Oh, and have hot monkey sex on the beach. That, too."
Shippou stared in response, seemingly dumbfounded, before exclaiming,
"That just might work!"
And with that, the little men raced off to go chill-ax and play X-Box, über-sure that Higurashi Saya would buy the load of crap they just made up and no middle-aged, sex-deprived men would manage to sneak their way through the conveniently unlocked front door.
… Wait—!
ONE MESSED UP STORY
Vol. 1: "Turning Back Time"
Ch. 6: "Yura of the Hair"
(Halloween Night in Sengoku-Jidai Tokyo)
Everyone from the future had changed their attire, dressing in the clothes Miroku, Sango, and Rin brought with them. It was to avoid further confusion between who was who, and add comfort to them. (Inuyasha complained about how breezy his costume was, and InuYasha shot back a snide remark about how he felt the breeze daily, in which the girls' faces turned red, Kikyou blanked out, Kaede shook her head, and Miroku laughed as Inuyasha then started an argument.) Sango was in her usual coral t-shirt and black sweatpants, Rin in a green tank top and orange shorts, Miroku in a purple button-down and black khaki (why he chose it, we won't ever know), Inuyasha in his favorite outfit of a crimson shirt with torn sleeves and faded jeans (in which he and InuYasha debated about who looked better in red), and Kagome was dressed in her school uniform, since Sango and Rin had no clue what she'd want to wear and picked the first thing they saw.
Now, they dispersed. Rin, so excited from the day's events, passed out immediately on one of Kaede's futons, already drooling a little. After five minutes of slapping the pervert, Sango managed to knock Miroku unconscious, thus felt it was safe to fall asleep without being groped. Kaede, due to her old age, also slumbered quickly in the small, crowded hut, and Kikyou rested against the wall, awake but tired.
InuYasha was in a tree near the farms of the village, staring out at the moon as his mind unconsciously focused on the feminine scent that belonged to the futuristic, brat miko. Down below, Kagome lied at the base of the tree, unaware of his presence due to her not being able to sense youkai all that strongly. Inuyasha watched her from afar, wondering what she was thinking about, before gaining the courage to emerge from the cart he was standing behind. He approached her slowly, cautiously, due to her being oblivious to the world around her. Finally, he was in arm's length, but she still hadn't noticed him as she gazed into the farms nearby and the star-filled sky above. Her face was filled with melancholy emotions that made his heart ache, and the moonlight upon that face, her already lustrous hair, and her sad sapphire eyes shining beautifully…
His breath caught.
The small noise made her blink and look up at him. Understanding the inviting look in her eyes, he sat beside her, also facing the fields before them. "So," he began slowly, and she sighed. "What's wrong?"
A smile tugged at the corner of her lips. She could always rely on her living diary, Inuyasha, when she felt bad; it was why she told him what was going on with her. "I feel guilty," she said simply. "I didn't realize what would… I was being so selfish, so childish, Inuyasha, when I… I mean, how could I…?"
He knew what she was saying. "It's okay not to think about everyone all the time," he told her, though the lone look in her eyes told him she wasn't listening. "You're not a bad person, Kags. No one can be selfless at every moment of the day."
"Yeah, but…" She messed with the hems of her school uniform's skirt, gaze in her lap as her stomach fell. "I didn't realize how big of a deal the jewel was. I mean, I did, but I never considered the world possibly being in destruction because of it—because of me." Inuyasha opened his mouth to reassure her it wasn't her fault, but when she took a deep breath, intending to say something, his jaws snapped shut. "I was thinking about Dad when she first mentioned me jewel-hunting here, you know," Kagome informed him somewhat forlornly, images of the man who raised her flashing before her eyes. "Dad always told my mom he wanted me and Souta to have normal lives, to go to school, help out around the shrine, have many friends and no worries, et cetera, et cetera."
Inuyasha's heart stop beating for a moment. That's why…
"That's why I didn't want to stay here," she told him, finishing his thought. "Normal isn't moving around feudal Japan, or being a miko with spiritual powers fighting off demons, or time-traveling to the past to deal with a once-thought mythical jewel. It's at the shrine, at home, with my family. It makes me wonder…" He raised an eyebrow at her pause. "What would my father have liked?"
Inuyasha exhaled, letting his best friend rest her head on his shoulder. "Your father would've wanted you to do the right thing, to be happy," he whispered, ignoring the way his heart sped up at the little contact his shoulder had with her cheek. "Not mope around, not cry, but probably just live a 'normal' life: meaning having experiences of your own. And, hey—" He looked down at her, and she met his gaze as he smirked. "What's not normal about traveling five-hundred years into the past to make sure the present doesn't get fucked-over?"
Ignoring his curse, she managed a giggle before closing her eyes, unbeknownst to the violet orbs absorbed in her beauty. "Thanks, Inuyasha," she murmured, "for listening to me."
"Keh," he muttered, glad she couldn't see his blush. "What're friends for?"
Silence overcame them for a moment before Kagome spoke once more. "I… I wonder how Inu is doing." Inuyasha felt some jealousy rush through him, but didn't say anything. "I mean, he doesn't trust any of us, and has lived such a bad life… Apparently, hanyou aren't respected here, so there's no doubt he's never been accepted, not even completely by Kikyou, according to the legend." Her eyes fluttered some, but she didn't open them. "I don't see anything wrong with him. Half-demon, half-human—he's fine as he is, right?"
Still not liking how she was talking about InuYasha, her companion snorted in agreement. "Right," he said. "If youkai existed openly in the modern-day world, I think there'd be some equality rules."
"I hope he doesn't live his entire life like that—with no one accepting him, with him shutting everyone out. No one should live like that." Inuyasha mused over her ponderings over for a few minutes, basking in their golden silence, before Kagome let out a large breath. "Inuyasha?"
"Yeah?"
"I think I'm failing math."
He chuckled, nonchalantly wrapped an arm around her and holding her closer to him for warmth. Kagome didn't mind his hugging her like that, though she was unaware of the sensations such an action stirred inside him. "Yeah," he finally muttered with an amused smirk, "you probably are."
Meanwhile, the inu-hanyou further up in the tree went over the conversation he'd just heard. What had happened to Kagome's dad? Who was Souta? What was school (again; he forgot the explanation from earlier)? Why was the brat miko so nice all the time, feeling guilty about her earlier rebellion, and why was she worrying for him? He didn't shut people out…did he?
He was snapped out of his thoughts when the scent of blood reached him and Kagome's scream echoed through the air.
Of course, he realized soon after he fell out of the tree and was crushed by a branch that it was his blood he smelled, and Kagome was panicking over him.
Ah, details, details…
And then, from its hit on the tree, the giant boomerang zoomed back to its owner with an outfit and pair of magenta eyes Kagome and Inuyasha were all too familiar with (and that InuYasha could really just care less about). The futuristic miko gasped,
"SANGO?"
The woman dressed in a skin-tight, black suit with floral-coral pads whipped around to face her, and removed the gas mask from her face, revealing herself to be an exact clone of their friend. "My apologies," Sango said formally, "but how do you know my name?"
And that was the second time someone fainted that day.
(~(^(~(^)~)^)~)
The next morning, Kagome swam in the river, washing off InuYasha's blood from her skin. She grumbled to herself something along the lines of Last time Sha will let Inu, who was bleeding, carry me back to camp while unconscious…! She scrubbed furiously, her mumbles falling deaf to everyone's ears except Inuyasha's, who didn't want InuYasha to carry Kagome back to the village, but after an internal battle with himself, decided the hanyou was better fit with the job since he wasn't tired. Besides, if InuYasha had groped Kagome someway or dropped her, even by accident, Inuyasha would've made sure to kill him on the spot.
Now, during the daytime, Kaede sat nearby the body of water, hosting a small campfire on the soil. She, Kikyou, Rin, and the Sango's were facing the waterside whereas Inuyasha had his back to the river, deciding to give Kagome privacy, and forced Miroku to sit beside him to prevent any unintentional (or intentional) voyeurism. The old miko held the jewel shard in her hand as Kagome bathed and spoke up, continuing the group's unwritten-because-the-author-was-too-lazy conversation. "So, ye were traveling by when you saw the jewel shatter, demon slayer?"
Though Sango the Taijiya didn't enjoy being called that, she did understand that there was somehow a copy of herself, thus this was to avoid confusion. "Yes," she answered. "I was returning to my village from a mission up North. But we've already established my story." She turned to the other Sango and asked, "Why do you look like me and bear the same name?"
"Uh…" Modern-day Sango couldn't find a reason for that.
Deciding to help her out, Miroku answered, "Excuse me, dearest slayer-san"—insert Tokyo Sango's growl here—"but we have established our existence in the far future. There are already two pairs of people who are alike: Kagome and Kikyou, and Inu and Sha. We believe it is the result of Sha and Kagome being Inu and Kikyou's reincarnations, but one can never know for certain."
The slayer merely stared at him for a moment before speaking again. "I wish to help with gathering the Shikon no Tama," she informed the group, a strong determination shining through her voice, leaving no room for discussion.
Rin cheered, and since she was the apparent new planner of the group, readjusted their arrangements. "Okay," she said, "change of plans!" Everyone groaned, and she shot them a few glares before returning to her work. "There are two groups," she explained to Feudal Sango, who for your information, already knows of the names differences between the two Inuyasha's and has most of the down-low on the situation. "There is Inu, Kagome, and my group, and then there is Sha and Kikyou's group. If you're gonna help us, then you can maybe teach non-slayer Sango to fight—you know, be useful—" Around this time, she was oblivious to the wild, murderous eyes stabbing through her forehead. "—while Kaede teaches Miroku how to use his spiritual powers."
Well. That was new information to Miroku. He looked at the two miko and asked, "Pardon?"
Kaede verified, "Aye, child; ye possess stored spiritual power within your soul, one 'locked-up' and 'leashed'." At everyone's questioning looks, she held up a dictionary and explained, "Ye world has strange scrolls, yet useful information on words and 'jargon'."
It fell silent while Rin beamed with pride in bringing a dictionary that could teach old Kaede how to use the words "locked-up" and "leashed". All Inuyasha could do in reply was keh.
"So," Kikyou said from Inuyasha's side, wanting to clear the air, "human Inuyasha and I shall travel together while you, Kagome, and hanyou InuYasha will be in a group?" When Rin nodded excitedly, Kikyou sighed some. "I see."
Inuyasha gave her a curious look. Why did she sound sort of…disappointed to hear that? Was he bad company or something? Was it him? He almost growled in offense before realizing something: InuYasha and Kagome would be together, not InuYasha and Kikyou or Inuyasha and Kagome. He blinked a few times. Kikyou probably wanted to be near InuYasha for something…
"EEEEEK, SIT!" THUD. "YOU PERVERT!"
"WENCH!"
Everyone turned to see InuYasha kissing the ground in a deep dent, whereas a fuming Kagome was hidden behind a bush, undoubtedly changing. "You pervert!" she screamed again, "Peeking on me while I swim…!"
It was then Inuyasha boomed, "WHAAAAAAAAAT?"
Rin giggled and Sango explained merrily to her past self, "Future Inuyasha is in love with Kagome." Feudal Sango nodded, but upon overhearing this, Kikyou and Kaede's eyes widened in realization whereas Miroku and Inuyasha (being men) looked shocked. Inuyasha denied it instantly, out of sync with his own feelings, while Miroku was just too stupid to look at the truth. Kikyou, however, felt her stomach drop. Is this love unrequited as well…?
(Un)luckily for them, Kagome didn't hear over the steam coming out of her ears while InuYasha couldn't hear over the dirt in his ears, later on the dirt lodging further when an angry reincarnation would stomp up to him and yell infinitely on and on about InuYasha leaving Kagome alone. Feh was all Inu said in response, until Inuyasha mentioned Kagome being pretty, and then InuYasha launched back that Kagome was as attractive as a wombat (in other words, "butt-ugly"), which Kagome overheard and yelled in response, "SIT, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
"MY MOTHER WAS HUMAN!" InuYasha screamed back after being sat, whereas Inuyasha, being the only one around, was floored at Kagome's use of language. The three then continued arguing at the river, oblivious to everyone else's disappearances, until dusk broke. And around this time, they'd somehow gotten onto the topic of how Inuyasha was stinking up the air, how Inuyasha technically had InuYasha's scent in him, and then how good Kagome smelled.
After agreeing with InuYasha, Sha then yelled at Inu for calling Kagome's scent good, whereas InuYasha denied it altogether. Unbeknownst to the arguing clones…
Where's the village? Kagome wondered, some invisible twigs scratching at her legs in the dark. The air around her smelt weird, she was exhausted from arguing so much, and had been walking for quite some time now. She recalled the topic that finally made her snap…
"Feh, your wench smells horrible!"
"Keh, Kagome smells wonder— I mean, NORMAL!"
"Would you stop fighting already?"
She was ignored.
"You stupid bastard! Go crawl in a hole and fuck yourself!"
"Keh, my penis is better company and better-LOOKING than you are!"
"IDIOT!"
"BITCH!"
"Isn't that a compliment in dog demon terms?"
She was ignored again, and then fumed, missing some of their arguments, and when she came to, she heard this:
"Feh, your wench is just a shard detector, anyways. Much better off without her."
"SHARD DETECTOR?"
That was both her and Inuyasha.
"Motherless son of wench!"
"You're motherless, too, dumbass!"
"Um…guys…?"
"Your miko brat being a fucking copy of the traitor ain't helpin', either!"
She snapped. "What does THAT have to do with anything?"
And then she was ignored—again. And eventually got tired and left, them now yelling back and forth about humans, miko, and hanyou, and how human Inuyasha could kick hanyou InuYasha's butt at any time of the day.
And then she exhaled sadly. She didn't like how hateful they were being to each other for no reason. Why? she wondered. Why can't they just get along? You never saw her and Kikyou building up a storm for no reason, so why—
Ah, the well! Screw the Inuyasha's; Kagome was rejoicing now. Not only did she sneak away with the jewel shard, but now she found a landmark that'd help her find her way to Kaede's hut. All she had to do was navigate her way back to the village now.
…You know, if she remembered the way…
…
"DAMMIT!" she yelled, not realizing she was using very naughty language recently.
Meanwhile, back in Kaede's hut, the majority of the group was doing something much, much more productive.
"What about 'Sango, the Demon Slayer' and 'Sango, the Lecher Slayer'?" Rin suggested with a wide grin, dreaming of the feudal half attacking the centipede from yesterday and the modern half beating Miroku to a bloody pulp.
Because discussing what to name the two Sango's was a very industrious matter, obviously.
Miroku shifted on his feet a bit, not quite pleased with the latter's name. "Well—"
"I like it," non-slayer Sango spoke up with an evil smile.
Miroku turned considerably pale.
"What about Sango D.S. and Sango L.S., or something amongst those lines?" feudal Sango mused with a bright smile. She was getting really into this, and warming up to these people quickly. They are kind, she thought, and have a comforting aura to them. But, before she completely began training the other Sango on demon-slaying (and made sure to get her one of her badass boomerangs), she would have to go to her village and inform them of her prolonged absence. She mentally sighed whimsically at the thought of her friends and family, especially her little brother Kohaku. What a great boy…
"YES!" modern-day Sango, now Sango L.S., or maybe even SLS (whatever the narrator felt like typing, really), cheered, putting her hand up in the air for a high-five. All she got was confused stares until she grabbed the other Sango's hand, forcing it to slap hers, and everyone nodded and concurred, showing their understanding of the strange gesture. Then, she said, "Maybe I can even go by 'San' and you could be 'Go'?"
Miroku perked up immediately at the latter, and SDS's glare met his gaze, shooting him down. Then the slayer smiled casually to the clueless Sango LS, and said, "Let's not push it."
"Hm," Kikyou spoke up, being the only one who hadn't spoken and making everyone jump at her signifying her presence. "What is this…?"
"What do you speak of, sister?" Kaede inquired with a furrow of her eyebrows.
Kikyou's stormy gray orbs narrowed. "The villagers…are attacking each other…and floating in mid-air…"
They all blinked, glancing at the doorway and seeing this to be true. And thus began an awkward, baffled silence between the five—WAIT, FIVE?
"WHERE'S RIN?"
(~(^(~(^)~)^)~)
"Rin?" Kagome asked, surprised to see the shorter girl now by her side, staring into the well. She was about to ask the younger teen how to get back to the village when chocolate orbs met her sapphire pools, showing she was not to leave because Rin had something amazingly important to say.
"'Gome," Rin began, "did you know that male bees explode when they reach their climax, and as they die, they leave their genitalia dangling inside the female?"
Kagome blinked, a little shocked. "No," she droned, "I didn't know that."
"Well," Rin huffed positively, "now you do."
Kagome's stance then turned suspicious. "Did Miroku…?"
"Biology's an interesting class," Rin mused, answering her question. Actually, Kagome was impressed; she totally expected Miroku would've taken part in this— "Miroku told the sensei who told us—" And then Kagome sighed. Never mind.
"Hey," Kagome began, making Rin perk up. She looked around the area for a moment, gaze cautious as she wondered aloud, "Do you see it…?" Rin tilted her head naïvely, and Kagome elaborated, "Hair…"
Rin looked around once more, looking at her own hair and Kagome's. "Uh, Kags," she said blankly, confused and doing a total sarcastic impersonation of Sango, "what's so fascinating about our hair?"
"No," Kagome told her sternly, eyes flickering around the area. "Hair! Strings of it! It's everywhere!" And that it was—appearing from trees, the sky, kind of like those red-line sensors in the security-thick hallways. But when Rin sent her a skeptical look, as if wondering she should be the one in a mental prison, Kagome looked back in equal bewilderment. Can Rin not see it…?
"Ooh, what's this? The Shikon Jewel?"
Kagome and Rin jumped, startled, and Rin let out a terrified shriek as she screamed, "GHOST!" and then proceeded to run around the area without really looking anywhere until she ran into the well, tripping and knocking herself out on the grassy ground.
Kagome and the woman who appeared simply stared at her unconscious form for a moment before turning back to each other.
"Who are you?" Kagome questioned warily, regarding the woman in a revealing black outfit and a baby doll face with curious yet apprehensive eyes. The woman merely smirked, her fingers twitching as something cut Kagome's arm, making her wince, and the jewel shard tucked in the crook of her sleeve suddenly disappearing and ending up in the woman's hand in a flash. Kagome's eyes widened in disbelief, as she gasped, "The jewel shard!" Then she realized the strings of hair were coming out of the woman's hands, and she accused, "YOU'RE THE ONE WITH HAIR!"
"You have hair, too, sweetie," she said with a roll of her eyes, which Kagome just noticed were red. And ooh, what's up with the demonic aura surrounding this woman—
Ah. It made sense now.
Youkai.
Well, Kagome huffed. This was crappy.
"I am Yura of the Hair," the woman then introduced herself, as if the name would matter. "And, oh my, dear me, why is this jewel a mere shard?" Turning her glower away from the slither, she gave Kagome eye-daggers. "What have you done to the jewel?" she insisted, voice not malicious, but for some reason, sounding oddly babyish and cheerful.
Actually, the tone made Kagome blink. "Uh…"
"No matter," Yura said, waving off Kagome's momentary perplexity. "I'll just kill you now to get it over with, okay?" Kagome's eyes widened and she was about to protest, but when Yura then hung over her, she backed up and—
Well, she found another way down the well…
Yura stared at the girl who fell and disappeared before her eyes, blinking in shock as her sword—which was making its descent on the miko—flew back to her, its blade bloodless. Who was that girl? she wondered, recalling the strange blue light and her knife just meeting the well's soil. A groan, however, from her right distracted her, snapping her back to reality.
Rin blinked a few times upon awakening before setting her sight on the woman in slutty attire. She stood up next to the well, not noticing how the woman advanced on her, even as she leaned back on the well. She then, upon seeing someone new, burst into a friendly introduction. "HI!" she chirped, "I'M RIN!" Insert Rin's blinding pearly whites in a wide smile here.
Yura simply stared blankly before Rin fell in, not even bothering with a small yelp like the previous girl had. Then, right there, Rin disappeared as well, enticing Yura further in the mystery of the well. No matter, she thought again, shrugging off the two strange occurrences before her attention shifted back to the village now reeking of blood and chaos. With a deranged grin, she flicked her fingers, enjoying the screams echoing through the air, and thought happily, Now, to find pretty hair…
Meanwhile, somewhere along the river banks of a feudal-era Tokyo…
"HOLY SHIT, WHERE'S KAGOME?"
…after a heated discussion about what type of fish could beat down a grizzly bear, Inuyasha and InuYasha were just taking note of the futuristic miko's absence.
A/N: Yes, there will be Inuyasha/Kagome moments. Hadn't I warned you of this already? T.T On another hand, this is my least popular story, and yet I continue to write it. Oh, joy… =.=
DELETED SCENES!
(Scene 1, Higurashi Shrine)
"Don't freak out, Shippou," Souta assured the redhead currently hyperventilating at his side. He stared off into the darkening sky outside the living room, shifting on his feet uncomfortably as he realized they be alone, in the house…for an entire night…with no protection from child molesters…or Kagome-deprived teenagers…
…
Souta mentally decided then that he'd rather have a creepy guy with a knack for young kids invade his home rather than a boy in love with his sister and whose name rhymed with "Homo".
(Scene 2, Kaede's Hut, Ending 1)
"If they're slayers, then I'm Buffy, the Vampire Slayer!" Rin announced, bearing invisible fangs.
Kaede's eyes widened in disbelief, taken back at the sudden declaration. "YOU ARE A VAMPIRE SLAYER? INCREDIBLE!"
"Holy shit!" modern-day Sango cursed none-too-graciously. "Vampires exist?"
"No," said Inuyasha, who just entered the hut, "but you're the idiot who thought they did." And then he had the honor of looking smug while receiving blank stares.
(Scene 3, Kaede's Hut, Ending 2)
"Holy shit!" modern-day Sango cursed none-too-graciously. "Vampires exist?"
"No, you idiot!" InuYasha, who magically appeared, yelled back. "What gave you that idea?"
"Hmm," came Inuyasha's sarcastic hum. "Maybe the fact that we're surrounded by DEMONS?"
"Oh." His past self blinked before shrugging it off. "Keh, I knew that—dumbass."
"Do you need to add an insult to everything you say?" Kagome, who also magically appeared (but most definitely with the help of the amazing Whitewolfffy's feudal airplane), sighed in slight annoyance.
InuYasha scoffed back, "No, I don't, you stupid wench!"
An echo of suddenly exhausted sighs followed.
(Scene 4, Bone-Eater's Well)
"'Gome," Rin began, "did you know that male bees explode when they reach their climax, and as they die, they leave their genitalia dangling inside the female, or that if you have 3 quarters, 4 dimes, and 4 pennies, you have $1.19, and you also have the largest amount of money in coins without being able to make change for a dollar, or that according to suicide statistics, Monday is the favored day for self-destruction, or that the most common name in the world is Mohammed, or that the word 'karaoke' originates from Japan, or that the word "lethologica" describes the state of not being able to remember the word you want, or that the sound of E.T. walking was made by someone squishing her hands in jelly, or that the most money ever paid for a cow in an auction was $1.3 million, or that when you die, your hair still grows for a couple of months, or that Kansas state law requires pedestrians crossing the highways at night to wear taillights, or that the earliest recorded case of a man giving up smoking was on April 5, 1679, when Johan Katsu, Sheriff of Turku, Finland, wrote in his diary 'I quit smoking tobacco,' but he died one month later, or that—?"
Kagome didn't hear the rest. Her brain exploded before that could happen.
(Scene 5, Bone-Eater's Well)
"I am Yura of the Hair," the woman then introduced herself, as if the name would matter. "And, oh my, dear me, why is this jewel a mere shard?" Turning her glower away from the slither, she gave Kagome eye-daggers—
"FUCK YOU!" came a cry from not too far away. They both turned to see a clone of Kagome wearing modern-day clothes with furious expression, now screaming, "EYE-DAGGERS ARE MY THING, YOU STUPID BITCH!" Then, she took note of Kagome, and before fainting, screamed, "HOLY SHIT! IT'S K573!"
(If you didn't understand Scene 5, then you'd have to read my story "Life at Demon Slayer School" to comprehend the insane humor of the situation and LADSS!Kagome making an appearance. :P)
