Do NOT judge me please! I was really bored and a little goofy when I wrote this. Me and my best friend were making stuff up, such as what would happen if Cynder and Emiko went to the modern world, and I wrote it down. It's funny, and kind of weird. Enjoy...?
"AHHHHH!" Cynder sat bolt upright, screaming.
"Whoa Cynder, what happened?" Emiko was immediately by her side.
They were in Kaede's village, and had been sleeping.
"Bad dream." Cynder panted.
"What was it?"
"We were fighting Naraku, and I tried flirting with him to make him quit and he…he…" she shuddered.
"He what?" Emiko asked.
"He k..." Cynder whispered.
"What?"
"I said HE KISSED ME!" Cynder screamed.
"GAH! EWWW! EW EW EWWW!" Emiko screamed right back, covering her ears.
"What the HELL are you two DOING?!" Inuyasha yelled, bursting in, "Can't a guys sleep?!"
Emiko stopped screaming and gave Cynder a sly look. "Nothing. Cynder's subconscious is telling her she is in love with Naraku though."
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at Cynder, "Cynder, I knew you were off, but really?"
"Shut up! And I'm NOT in love with him! EW!" Cynder yelled.
Emiko started singing.
Momma I'm in love with a criminal.
And this type of love isn't rational it's PHYSICAL!
She half screamed the last word at Cynder. Cynder glared at her, then gave a maniacal grin as she answered.
Momma please don't cry, I will be alright.
All reason aside I just can't deny
Love or DIE!
With the last word, she pounced on Emiko.
"Gah! Teskide!" Emiko cried, fighting her off.
She ran outside as Cynder bounded after her, transforming into a normal sized wolf. Emiko whistled a low note and Keirsha melded into her back, transforming into her dog demon. Cynder grew bigger and shifted into her dragon. With a roar, she pounced once more and attacked Emiko. They rolled over and over, snarling at each other. Inuyasha followed them outside and watched them, eyes wide.
"I don't know if they're faking it…or if it's a real fight."
"Oh it's a real fake." Kagome said, coming out and rubbing her eyes.
"Then I'm scared."
Kagome laughed, then called up to the two youkai, "You two gonna come down for breakfast or just stay up there until you pass out?"
Cynder made a thrumming noise and started shrinking. Emiko followed suit and they were soon sitting on the grass, panting. After catching her breath, Emiko grinned creepily at Cynder. "I am never, EVER, letting that go."
"Like hell you won't!" Cynder muttered, but the smell of breakfast was too tempting for her to resist, so she gave up fighting Emiko. For now.

After breakfast, the group walked Kagome to the well. She was feeling homesick, so she was leaving for what she called, 'the weekend'.
"Bye guys! See you in two days!" she called and with a wave, jumped in.
Miroku, Sango, and Shippo went back to the village, while Cynder, Emiko, and Inuyasha stayed by the wall.
"Now what?" Emiko asked.
"We find some way to amuse ourselves." Cynder said with a sigh.
"Well what do ya want to do?" Inuyasha asked.
"We could ask Cynder to re-live her dream in more detail." Emiko said with a grin.
"NO!" Cynder yelled, "No no no!"
"Come on!" Emiko begged.
Cynder looked at her and sighed, "Alright. But first…" she leaned over and whispered in Emiko's ear.
"Hey, what are you two talking about?" Inuyasha asked suspiciously.
"We were just gonna talk about…womanly stuff." Cynder said.
"Yeah, you should stick around Inuyasha. It's gonna be fuuun." Emiko added.
Inuyasha still looked confused. Cynder threw an exasperated look at Emiko and said loudly.
"So Emiko! Periods huh?"
"Gah! I'm out!" Inuyasha yelled and, covering his ears, he ran off.
"Geez! He is so thick." Emiko complained, "Why did we have to make him leave anyway?"
"Cause this is gonna be a sister talk, kay?"
"Okay."
A FEW HOURS LATER:
"Wait, so you like him?" Emiko asked.
"No! Well…I hate his guts! But… And then… ugh! It's complicated." Cynder complained.
Emiko suddenly started reciting.
I fear him, but he doesn't scare me,
I fear his power, though it is weaker than mine.
I hate him to the depths of my being,
And yet I long to see him.
He had no power, yet all power over me.
"Oookay…creepy, but true, that's kinda, only KINDA how I feel." Cynder said quietly.
"Yeah." Emiko replied.
"Heeey. That's right! He is weaker than me! I could turn into a dragon and just go 'squish' and he be deadedy dead!" Cynder said suddenly, jumping up.
"Well I was trying have a moment, but I forgot who I was talking to." Emiko sighed.
"Hey! I can have a moment! Watch." Cynder said indignantly and closed her eyes. Emiko leaned close to her ear and whispered, "squirrel."
"WHERE!" Cynder cried, jumping up.
"Yeah you can't have a moment Cynder. Face it." Emiko snickered.
Cynder gave her a dignifiedly injured face, but before she could do much else, a head popped over the well.
"Gah!" Cynder yelled at the same time Emiko yelled, "Kagome!"
"Oh thank goodness you two are here! Come on!" she cried and, grabbing their wrists, pushed them over to the well.
"Wait, Kagome!" Emiko said nervously, "What are you doing?"
"You're coming with me to the present time. No one is home and I'm lonely!"
"Why can't you just stay here?"
"Cause I already bought movie tickets and planned a fun day and I'm not going to just throw it away." Kagome said fiercely.
"Sounds like fun! Whee!" Cynder dived into the well.
"Uh…okay." Emiko lowered herself in, eyes shut. After the sensation of falling and then floating, she found herself in a similar, yet cleaner well. Kagome appeared next to her, "Where's Cynder?"
Emiko shrugged, then yelled, "Oi! Cynder!"
Cynder appeared at the top of the well, "Up here! Hurry, this place is so weird."
Emiko climbed up the well and out of the shrine.
"Wow Kagome, your house is big."
"It's huge! And the material is funny!" Cynder called, tapping it.
"Let's go in." Kagome said, ushering them in.
After an extremely long tour where Kagome explained what everything was, they ended up in Kagome's room.
"Okay, we are going to see a movie tomorrow, but there are some things you need to catch up on, so…movie night!"
"Sounds fun!" Emiko said. She had warmed up to this world a little more. Cynder was absentmindedly shredding a pillow, "Gah Cynder! Stop!"
"But I wanted to see what was in these things! They're so soft." Cynder complained.
"It's called cotton, now quit it!"
"Fine." she sighed.
Kagome looked at them, then grinned, "I'm sooo dressing you up tomorrow."
"Uh oh." Emiko groaned.
"Tonight though, I'll just make you take showers, brush your hair and your teeth."
Emiko and Cynder exchanged glances.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Emiko turned off the water coming from the hose that Kagome called a shower. So weird. she thought as she dried off. She put on fuzzy 'pajamas' that were a light blue tank-top and white and light blue short shorts. The top is too big for me. Kagome's got a bigger chest than I do. It sits down low. *sigh* she went out to Kagome's room. Cynder was sitting on her bed, playing with Buyo. She was wearing an identical set of pajamas but they were purple and fit her better.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"What are we watching?" Emiko asked.
"Uhh, some movies called Iron Man, Thor, and Cohan America. Kagome said it would help up understand the movie we're gonna see."
"Which is?"
"The Avengers."
"Sounds cool. Doesn't sound like something Kagome would watch though."
"She said her school is going to be buzzing about it, so she might as well watch it."
"It sounds like something we would like."
"Yeah, action, violence. Perfect." Cynder grinned.
Kagome came bouncing up with a bowl of white, oddly shaped food. "Popcorn! Now, let's start."
They watched Captain America first, then Iron Man. On the movie Thor, Emiko watched it more intently than the others. When they asked what their favorite movie's where, she answered Thor, Cynder answer Captain America, and Kagome answered Iron Man.
"Why Captain America?"
"Cause he's hot! And he's got man boobs, but the good kind." Cynder said.
Kagome laughed and turned to Emiko, "What about you Emiko? Why Thor?"
"Because it has humor and fighting and the villain is by far my favorite. I think."
"What do you mean, 'you think'?"
"He's creepy but… I don't know, it's weird."
Cynder had been listening to this interestedly. Suddenly, she jumped up and pointed dramatically at Emiko.
"HA! Now you know how I FEEL!"
"But Loki isn't even real."
"How do you know? Look, does he freak you out, yet ya feel kinda drawn to him?"
"Kiinda…"
"Then you know how I fell. Ha. Ha. Ha-ha. HA!" she danced around in a circle. Emiko threw a pillow and it caught her in the face, "Shut up!"
"Never! If you're never letting go of the Naraku thing, then I'm never letting go of this!"
"Well be happy Emiko because Loki is playing in The Avengers." Kagome said.
"Gah!"
"But you don't like him?"
"Yes and no."
Cynder spoke quietly.
His voice is like a drug I shouldn't take.
He isn't handsome, but he draws me.
I do not know why, but I wish to be free.
Free from his voice and cold eyes, which, though repulse me, keep me powerless
He is evil, a menace,
And yet I'm attracted to him.
It's complicated.
"Wow Cynder, you're having a moment." Emiko said.
"I know! It's weird." Cynder said happily.
"Oh Cynder." Kagome shook her head exasperatedly, "Let's just get some rest. Fun day tomorrow."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
After breakfast the next morning, Kagome took them back upstairs, "Alright! So, do you guys want a dress or a miniskirt?"
Emiko and Cynder exchanged horrified glances as Kagome dug through her wardrobe, "Actually you guys, I only have skirts for your build so…"
"Hold it Kagome." Emiko interrupted, "What do you mean 'miniskirts'?"
"What about our clothes?!" Cynder cried.
"They're in the washer."
"The WHAT?!"
"They are being cleaned, don't worry, you'll get them before we leave." Kagome explained patiently.
She pulled out two mini skirts - one dark blue and one purple - and two sailor shirts, both white. Cynder jumped up and clung to the ceiling while Emiko backed up to the wall.
"No Kagome, no, no, NO!" Cynder yelled.
"Honestly you two! It's just for ONE day, no one is going to see you!"
"No! We refuse!"
"Come on! Please do it, for me!" Kagome begged.
Emiko and Cynder looked at each other, "Well it's only one day…" Cynder said slowly.
"And no one from the Feudal Era can see us…" Emiko said.
"Great! Now, put them on." Kagome said fiercely, thrusting the clothes at them.
Cynder slowly dropped from the ceiling and Emiko peeled herself off the wall. They gently took the clothes, eyeing them in trepidation.
"Go! Change!" Kagome urged, "I'll be waiting outside the room."
"Stupid skirt." Emiko muttered, pulling it on.
They changed and went out. Kagome beamed at them, "You guys look so cute! Now, to add a sexy flair."
She pushed them into the bathroom and locked the door, "I'm doing your hair and make-up." she announced.
Taking a brush, she attacked Emiko's hair. Strangely, it wasn't that difficult, and soon her hair was smooth. Taking the two locks of hair which fell on either side of her face, she braided them. Then, she added shimmery copper eye shadow and mascara, darkening her eye brows ever-so-faintly, and adding dark red lipstick.
"Now. Your turn." Kagome said, turning to Cynder.
She brushed her hair, which was also easier than expected, and put some up in a sparkly barrette and left the rest down. She then put on light blue eye shadow and purple eyeliner, adding mascara and dark pink lipstick.
"There. You guys are beautiful!" she said happily.
Emiko raised an eyebrow as Kagome held up a mirror.
"Wow. We look…pretty." Cynder said softly.
"Of course you do! You've always been pretty, I just helped bring it out a bit." Kagome said.
Emiko smiled, "Arigato Kagome."
"Now let's go see a movie!" Cynder cried, running out.
"Cynder!" Emiko laughed in exasperation and followed her out.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
They went to the theater to see The Avengers. Along the way, Cynder got wolf-whistled at about 3 times. The first time, she punched the guy in the face and Emiko had had to pull her away. The other times she merely gave them the death glare and they shut up. Emiko didn't have much trouble except one guy smacked her butt. She turned around, grabbing his arm and flipped him to the ground. No one bothered her after that.
By the time they got to the movies, Cynder and Emiko were watching all boys warily. Kagome quickly got them popcorn and soda's and ushered them to their seats.
ABOUT 6 ½ HOURS LATER…
Kagome, Emiko, and Cynder approached the front door of Kagome's house, talking nonstop. Right before they left after the 1st movie, Cynder had spied a movie called Dark Shadows and had BEGGED Kagome to take them. Afterwards, they had window shopped on the way back and Kagome had bought them an I-Pod each. Going into the house, Kagome took their I-Pods and plugged them in. They spent the next 2 hours downloading music. At about 6:30, they got ready to leave for the Feudal Era.
"Kagome, where are my clothes?" Cynder asked.
"Uh…"
"And mine?" Emiko added.
Kagome looked sheepishly at them, "About that…"
"KAGOME!"
"Look I wanted everyone to see you, you look so cute!"
"No! This was the point Kagome! We'd put on the clothes because no one is here!" Emiko cried.
"Oh come on! Please!"
"Uh-uh, no way!" Cynder shook her head resolutely, "Not in a thousand years. Now, were are our clothes?!"
"Nope! Not telling."
"Kagome…" Emiko snarled.
Quick as a flash, Kagome ran out and slammed the door behind her. Cynder tried to yank the door open, but it was locked.
"Teme…"
"Cynder! She's outside!" Emiko yelled.
She pushed the window open and jumped out, Cynder close behind her. Kagome ran into the shrine and jumped down the well. Without thinking, the two sisters followed her and emerged in the Feudal Era. Emiko pulled herself out, then, looking up, shrieked in shock and dropped back down.
"KAGOME!"
"What is it?" Cynder pulled herself up and looked around. Kagome was hiding behind Inuyasha and the gang. Sesshomaru and company where there too.
"What the merp is this?!" Cynder cried.
"Uh…I was REALLY proud of myself. So, I invited everyone to come see you two all prettied up." Kagome admitted.
"I am going to…"
"Cynder get Emiko out of there please." Inuyasha interrupted.
"Why? She has a good reason to stay down there!"
"Cause she's gonna want to see you kill Kagome."
"Oh! Are we killing her now?" Emiko said brightly, sliding out of the well.
They both stood up slowly and glared at the group. Sesshomaru remained emotionless but Emiko must have read something in his eyes because she growled at him and her eyes flashed a neon blue. Inuyasha was trying not to look pleased and Miroku was looking them up and down interestedly.
"Well you guys look…um…good?" Inuyasha said nervously.
"Good? GOOD?!" Cynder snarled. Inuyasha backed up, "We do not look good Inuyasha, we look like sluts."
"Agreed. Now, where are out clothes Kagome?" Emiko growled.
"Not telling." Kagome said.
Cynder was mouthing words quietly. Emiko leaned closer to her, then grinned mischievously, "Oh! I know that song!"
They started chanting.
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the…
GROUND!
Cynder started doing screamo with Aika joining in. The girls turned toward Kagome, claws outstretched. Emiko's body erupted in flames and Cynder became a dark shape behind a funnel of energy.
The flames around Emiko swirled and twisted until she was wearing a dress of light, flowing material. It looked like a Greek robe that had been wrapped around one shoulder and flowed loosely around her body. It was shimmery and flowed from golden to orange in different shades. Every one in awhile, you could see a flash of red before it disappeared. Her make-up was replaced by sparkling gold eye shadow and mascara, with chocolate brown lipstick. A design now came from the corner of her eyes in colors of orange, red, and circles of the same sparkling gold. Her sword had reappeared around her waist and she was once more barefoot.
The energy surrounding Cynder pulsated and melded into her body forming knee length, jean material shorts that crackled with energy. She wore a belly shirt made completely out of energy. Her spear was in her hand and she too was barefoot. She wore dark purple eye shadow, black eyeliner, and mascara. A black, silver, and purple design was on her forehead and her hair was free and whipped around.
The others watched in awe as the transformation finished. Cynder shook her hair and sighed tiredly, "Well that was fun."
"What the HELL did you just do?" Inuyasha asked in a hushed voice.
"Well Kagome wouldn't give us our clothes so we got our original ones." Emiko said simply.
"Our youkai ones." Cynder explained, "Like Sesshomaru's, they are sorta connected to us."
"Why don't you wear them more often? And what's with the tattoos?" Kagome asked.
"Cause our mortal clothes are more…appropriate. And less stand outish. The tattoos are the ones we would have if we were true youkai, Like the ones Inuyasha gets when he goes full youkai. They come with the clothes." Emiko said.
"So why not stay a youkai?" Sesshomaru asked.
The girls looked at each other, then said at the same time, "Because we don't want too."
"What?!" Inuyasha yelled in shock.
"Hanyous and Shifters are more fun. We actually have emotions." Emiko said with a pointed glare at Sesshomaru.
He growled at her as Cynder added, "Besides, if we were youkai, we'd be stuck up and wouldn't have you guys as friends."
"Plus I can't keep my dog form forever. And hanyous are way smarter than youkai." Emiko snickered.
Sesshomaru lunged at Emiko. She danced safely out of the way, laughing.
"Oh well, if that's what you guys want. I'm glad we met you though." Inuyasha said, looking at Cynder.
She smiled.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
They all sat around a hut at the outskirts of Kaede's village as the sun disappeared behind the mountains and the stars started appearing. Emiko and Cynder were still in their youkai clothes and Kagome had gone back to get their normal ones. Emiko and Cynder were listening to their I-Pods and humming softly.
"What are you guys listening to?" Inuyasha asked.
In response, Cynder jumped up and started singing.
All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus.
When I crack that whip, everybody gon' trip
Just like a circus.
Don't stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do.
Get up, let's go,
We can make a dance floor
Just like a circus.
"What is that?" Inuyasha asked.
"Dat's my theme song!" Cynder said proudly.
Inuyasha turned pleadingly to Emiko, "Help. Please."
"Nope! I've got one too." Emiko grinned.
She started singing.
I was looking for a breath of life.
A little touch of heavenly life.
But all the choirs in my head sang no.
To get a dream of life again.
A little vision of the start and the end.
But all the choirs in my head sang no.
"That's a little slower." Inuyasha noted.
Emiko cranked up hard rock so that it blared from the speakers.
"Never mind." Inuyasha sighed.
At that moment, Kagome appeared with the clothes.
"Kagome, what the heck did you do to them?" Inuyasha asked exasperatedly.
"I showed them the modern world." Kagome said innocently.
Emiko took her I-Pod, pressed some buttons, and held it up, "Hey guys! Say hi!"
"Uh…hi?" Inuyasha said uncertainly.
"Oh! Emiko are you recording stuff?" Kagome asked with sudden realization.
"Yep!"
"What is she doing?"
"Nothing, it's fine."
Emiko turned to Cynder, "This is my best friend! Say hi Cynder!"
"Muffin Fluffers!"
"Or that. That works too." Emiko laughed.
She turned towards Sesshomaru, "Say hi Sesshomaru!"
He looked at her, "No."
"Yay you said something!"
He raised an eyebrow at her.
"Hey Emiko." Cynder said.
"What?"
"I'm recording you recording!" she giggled, pointing her I-Pod at her
"Yay!"
They pointed the I-Pods at each other.
"Uh…do you guys want your clothes back?" Kagome asked.
"Oh yeah! Cynder, hold this." Emiko said.
Cynder took the I-Pod from her and pointed it at her.
"No not on me! I'm changing!"
"No one's going to see Emiko!" Cynder said.
"Fine." Emiko sighed. She disappeared behind fire once more. A tendril of fire snaked over and took the clothes from Kagome's hands, then pulled them into the fire. The clothes melded onto her and soon she was standing there, normal clothes, tattoos and make-up gone.
"Ah! That feels better." she said, "Cynder, your turn."
She took both I-Pods and watched as energy surrounded Cynder and took the clothes. They too, melded back on and soon she was back, hair once more in a ponytail, make-up and tattoo gone.
"Now, give me my I-Pod."
"Mm…nah."
"Emiko!"
Emiko grinned and hid behind Sesshomaru, "No!"
Cynder chased her around until she ran up a tree.
"You're stuck."
"I am not!" she dropped the I-Pod down to Cynder, but didn't move.
"You are so stuck!" Cynder laughed.
"Shut up Cynder!"
"How'd you get stuck Emiko?" Inuyasha asked.
"My #?*! foot is caught between some branches." Emiko sighed, struggling a little.
"How about Sesshomaru comes and gets you out?" Cynder asked slyly.
Emiko threw a branch at Cynder, which bounced off her shoulder, "Hey! What's THAT supposed to mean?!"
"Well Sesshomaru? How about it?" Cynder asked.
He stood up and walked over to the tree, "Sesshomaru I'm fine, you don't have to help me out." Emiko said, suddenly nervous.
Sesshomaru slammed against the tree, knocking Emiko down.
"Ha! And you thought he was gonna help you!" Inuyasha laughed.
Emiko ignored him, maintaining a dignified silence. Sesshomaru bent down and gently helped her up, "Thanks." she murmured.
Cynder turned off her I-Pod and walked over, petting Sesshomaru's fluff, "Good puppy!" she said.
He glared at her, "Let go."
"No."
"Yes."
"No!"
Suddenly he shot into the air, jerking Cynder off the ground, "Wheee!" she cried as she disappeared.
"What do you think he's going to do to her?" Inuyasha asked worriedly.
"Nothing horrendous, I promise." Emiko reassured him.
A few minutes later, Sesshomaru came back minus a passenger.
"Where's Cynder?"
"I must have lost her somewhere." he said dismissively.
"Wha…?"
Cynder came staggering out of the trees and sat down with a groan, holding a hand across her lower abdomen, "And they say it only hurts boys." he grimaced.
"Teme Sesshomaru…!" Inuyasha growled.
"She would not let go. It was her own fault." he said emotionlessly.
Inuyasha looked questioningly at Cynder. She winced and smiled faintly, "It kinda was. We flew over some streams and I wasn't watching and my…lower abdomen hit a rock."
"HA!"
"Shut up Emiko!"
"It's not just that."
Emiko (who was still recording) marched up to Sesshomaru and poked him in the chest, "You have a sense of humor! I win! I win! I win I win…" she danced around in a circle. A ghost of a smile flitted across Sesshomaru's face, "So?"
"So it's funny!"
He shook his head, glaring at the I-Pod, "Are you still…re-cording?"
"Do you even know what that is?"
"No."
"It's where everything this camera sees and hears it captures and saves it. So I can replay this conversation over and over again." Emiko explained.
"So…gah! Turn it off!" Inuyasha said, lunging for it.
"No way!"
"Yes!"
Sesshomaru grabbed the I-Pod in a quick movement, faint mischief dancing in his eyes.
"Sesshomaru! Give that back!"
"No."
Cynder jumped from behind, "Attack!"
He easily shook her off, "Stupid youkai." Cynder growled.
He glared at her, shoved the I-Pod into Emiko's hands, and fake lunged at her.
"Gah!"
"Bad dog!" Emiko said and lightly smacked the back of his head.
Cynder gasped and Inuyasha froze. Sesshomaru turned around slowly, eyes narrowed in anger.
"Oh shit." Emiko said. She tossed the I-Pod to Cynder and took off, Sesshomaru right behind her.
"Young love." Cynder whispered to the camera.
The full moon rose above the laughing group as fireflies began to twinkle. Soon, hundreds were around the group.
"Inuyasha! Fireflies! Come on, let's go catch some!" Cynder said, taking his hand.
They ran off. Sesshomaru had given up killing Emiko and stood back under the tree closest to the two. Emiko sat down next to him as they watched the two in quiet contentment.
THE END
