……..You guys are going to hate me. If you're still reading of course. How presumptuous of me. Hmmm… Big word. Anyways, I'm sorry it took so long to update! Really Sorry! I don't know why, but somehow along the line, I lost interest in this story. This happens a lot. But, here's the next chapter to this fic. The idea came from one of my reviews, and I'd have to say, it was a pretty GREAT idea. Hope you like it!
Disclaimer: After years of (not) trying, I still don't own InuYasha.
New York, New York!!!
xXxXXxXx
InuYasha, accompanied by his friends Kagome, Miroku, and Sango, finally made it. They got plane tickets to go to New York City with much thanks to InuYasha's father, InuTaisho. Come to think of it, there wasn't much of any reason needed as to why they had to go to New York. As a matter of fact, when asked why they wanted to go there so badly, InuYasha only had to say the simple…yet slightly comical phrase:
"Sesshomaru stole Miley Cyrus' Oreos."
And now here they were, standing in the middle of the biggest city any of them had ever seen, aside from Tokyo, of course.
"Where should we start looking?" asked Sango.
That was a good question. None of them had ever been to the Big Apple before. Sesshomaru (and those Oreos) could be anywhere by now. It had been a week since Sesshomaru left Japan, after all. Anything could have happened. He might have been caught already. That wouldn't be surprising, really. People like Miley Cyrus have strong connections with major corporations and the like. That kind of power is often frightening.
"Maybe we should ask people if they've seen Miley Cyrus around here," Kagome suggested.
"Good Idea," replied Miroku. "And while you do that, I'm going to go this "Central Plaza" before I get sidetracked by all of the beautiful American women."
"…Let's disregard that last part." Sango rolled her eyes. She was sure it was too late for that. It was Miroku, after all.
"Why would you go there, anyway?" asked InuYasha.
Miroku pointed up at a large screen positioned on the side of a building.
"Honestly, don't you guys watch the news?"
"In other news, Miley Cyrus is going to have a concert in Central Plaza tomorrow, at seven a.m. …again…after discussing her new movie…or….something……." the reporter trailed off and whispered to the man sitting next to her: "She's not dead yet?"
"Furthermore, rumors are circulating that the pop star will be accompanied by her new friend from Japan."
The group of kids stared at each other for a moment confirming their suspicions of Sesshomaru's whereabouts.
"She caught him…" InuYasha, Kagome and Sango said in unison.
InuYasha looked around. There were a lot of people walking here. Some people were just standing in the middle of the sidewalk, watching the news on the giant screen (A/N: I want to call it a jumbo-tron). Even with all of the people there, something seemed to be missing.
"Where's Miroku?" InuYasha asked.
"Damn it, Now we have to look for him too!" yelled Sango. "Oh, wait. There he is."
Sango gestured at the vast expanse of sidewalk ahead of them. Miroku was standing next to a yellow car. Kagome immediately recognized it as a cab.
"Why are the most important public transportations systems always yellow?" she asked, more to herself than any of the others.
"There not…" Sango replied.
"Well, taxis are," said Kagome.
"They're not all yellow. They have black squares on the sides," InuYasha butted in.
"But they're not covering up the yellow!" Kagome almost yelled.
"What do you have against the color yellow?" asked InuYasha.
Kagome thought about it for a minute. Even she didn't know why. Maybe it was because she didn't like bananas, which are also yellow.
"I don't know. It's just not a very appealing color, I guess," Kagome decided that was the best answer she could come up with.
InuYasha thought about the Pikachu plushy that his father won for him at a carnival, years ago.
"Hey, do not insult the yellow man!" InuYasha said referring to his beloved Pikachu. "Pikachus are people, too!"
"Well, of course they are," said Kagome, nonchalantly. "Why would you insinuate that I—did you just say Pikachu?"
"…No," InuYasha said trying to avoid embarrassment. However, his attempt seemed to have failed.
Kagome and Sango stared at InuYasha for a few minutes, studying his face. After a while, both girls started to laugh. It began as giggling, and then gradually escalated into hysterical laughter.
"What?" InuYasha wondered. "What's so funny?"
"I can't believe how red your face is, right now!" said Sango, who was struggling to suppress her laughter.
InuYasha looked at his reflection in the window to a shop near him. Sango was right. It looked as if a large angry mob hurled tomatoes at his face, only less gooey.
"What? Do you sleep with a Pikachu or something?" asked Kagome wiping tears from her eyes that were a result of laughing too hard.
"You don't?" retorted InuYasha.
Kagome immediately stopped laughing at InuYasha as fond memories of her ten-year-old self with a clefairy resurfaced. Sango stood staring at Kagome wondering why everyone was quiet all of a sudden.
"So are we going to find Sesshomaru before he gets ear drums crushed, or what?" asked Kagome trying to change the subject.
"We can't until tomorrow," Miroku informed her. There's really no way of knowing where he is until Miley Cyrus' concert thingy tomorrow."
"Right…" said Kagome.
"Let's get a hotel," suggested Sango.
The group agreed and went in search for a hotel near Central Plaza. As the group started walking, Miroku decided he would bring back the earlier conversation, seeing as how he wasn't really paying attention to what was being said.
"So, InuYasha, do you really sleep with a pikachu?" asked Miroku.
"…Maybe," InuYasha replied, blushing again.
"No need to be embarrassed about it," said Miroku. "I have a luxray, myself!"
The whole group stopped and stared at Miroku.
"Really?" asked InuYasha. He knew Miroku had a stuffed animal but he had always thought it was something else.
"Uh, yeah…why?" replied Miroku.
"I thought you slept with a pedo bear," said Kagome, matter-of-factly.
Miroku felt a surge of anger. "For the last time, my grandfather is NOT A PEDOPHILE!!"
Everyone around them was staring at Miroku now. Miroku's outburst was a bit random, to say the least.
"We…meant the plushy, Miroku…" said InuYasha.
"Who said your grandfather was a pedophile?" asked Sango.
"That's the nickname my parents gave him," Miroku replied, calming down.
"Uh…why?" Kagome, Sango and InuYasha asked in unison.
"Because he's a bit of a perv around hot women."
"Oh, so it runs in the family…" said Sango under her breath.
"Well, what do you sleep with, Sango?" asked Miroku accusingly.
"If I said you, would you leave me alone?" asked Sango impatiently.
Miroku blushed and said, "Nope."
Sango sighed. "Well, if you must know, I sleep with a wrench."
Now it was Sango's turn to be the laughing stock of the group. Plushies were okay, but why a wrench?
"You sleep…with a wrench?" Kagome said disbelievingly.
"Not just any wrench, it's a monkey wrench, and it kicks the asses of any Pokémon you guys sleep with!" yelled Sango. "Besides, it's not like a fake Pokémon is going to help you if someone happens to, say, break into your house."
"My house if full of demons," started InuYasha. "You only break into my house if you have a death wish, and, or penchant for punishment."
"And I think it's just really stupid that you sleep with a monkey wrench," said Kagome. "Just because it has the word 'monkey' in it doesn't mean it's in any way as fluffy as a plushy."
"WHATEVER! Let's just find this stupid freaking hotel before I have to kick your stupid freaking heads in with my stupid freaking MONKEY wrench!" yelled Sango.
"You're a very violent person, do you know that?" Miroku asked smiling.
Sango reached her hand into her left pocket, and pulled out a ten-inch monkey wrench. She started walking quickly over to Miroku, intending him to be her first victim of the dreaded piece of steel.
"Okay!" Miroku said. "Let's go find a hotel to wait until tomorrow, shall we?"
With that, Miroku ran down the crowded streets with InuYasha and Kagome in tow. Sango wasn't too far behind, though. It was only a matter of time until she would catch up with them.
xXxXXxXx
So, here's chapter 14. Sorry, again for taking soooooo long to write it. I'm equally sorry for getting a little off track at the end there. I felt it had to be funnier, and I came up with that stuff off of the top of my head and typed it up as I thought it.
I hope the next chapter will be better! Chapter 15 WILL be up by the end of this week, seeing as how school starts again on Tuesday. Ah, learning!
I obviously need your guys' help on this. And feel free to PM or Email me at inudemon94 (at) yahoo (dot) com if you think that the updates aren't coming as fast as they should be.
Plz R&R!!
