Summary Inuyasha fails at riding Kagome's bike
This time he would do it. If Kagome could ride the iron cart, surely he could do it. He just needed a running start. He raced toward the bike and jumped on. For a second the bike tottered forward, but then it fell over on top of him.
"I told you he would fail" remarked Myogua pocketing several acorns from Shippou before returning to his view of fuming hanyou trapped beneath the monstrous beast that even he could not tame.
"Maybe if you ran along side the bike and then hopped on maybe you would have the momentum to make it go forward." yelled Shippou.
"What do you know about riding Kagome's iron cart? You are just a little thing that fits in Kagome's basket" yelled a disgruntled Inuyasha now throughly caught in the bicycle.
"At least I haven't failed fifty times to ride Kagome's bike. I have watched how she does it. It really is simple. All she does is push those pedals down"
Inuyasha stared at the pedals. Could it really be that simple? He righted the bike for another attempt. Raising along side the bike, he jumped on when he had it up to jammed his feet into the pedals. The bike braked and he went sailing forward. Well, that did not work.
"Kagome pedals." Said Shippou
"What do you mean?"
"She makes the pedals go up and down. As the pedals turn the wheels turn. It is just a matter of the bike being in sync." Shippoou replied
Shippou turned to Myouga " Do you think he will ever get it?"
Myouga sadly shook his head " I have known the master a long time. Once he fails, he will continue to fail until he finally gives up."
Inuyasha thought about it a while. He had watched Kagome do this a million times. Why was so hard for him? He raced beside the bike again. When he jumped on he began to pump the pedals
The bike began to accelerate faster and faster toward Goshinboku. Inuyasha pancked.
"What do I do?"
" Try braking" yelled Shippou.
"What ?" cried Inuyasha just as he crashed into the sacred tree.
As the dazed hanyou staggered away from the wreck he proclaimed " No one can ride that beast" as Myouga and Shippou rolled their eyes and covered their mouths so Inuaysha could not hear them laugh.
When Kagome returned, she found her bike beside Goshinboku. It appeared battered and bent, but still rideable. As Kagome rode away toward the village, Inuyasha stared after her incredulously. It appeared that Kagome knew something that would be forever beyond his grasp.
