A Day in Feudal Japan
disclaimer: I do not own Inu-Yasha, I just write.
It was a lovely spring morning. The sky was blue, the sun was shining, and the birds were singing. Unfortunately, it was also a school day. "Morning!" I said to greet my friends Alexis and Kamakani. Kamakani was holding an Inu-Yasha book and apparently, was extremely immersed in the story. Alexis was eagerly looking at the pages as Kamakani turned them. "Ahem, I said Morning!" I yelled at them, annoyed. I had never liked Inu-Yasha as much as Kamakani and Alexis did. I thought it was okay, but awful…bloody. "Oooh, look at Sessho-Maru! He's so calm and collected, even when he's about to kill someone!" cried Kamakani. She pointed to a picture of Sessho-Maru holding the Tetsusaiga and getting ready to slay Inu-Yasha, although he wouldn't be able to. Alexis and Kamakani had a good laugh. Alexis snatched the book from Kamakani's hands and flipped through the pages vigorously. "What are you looking for?" I asked. Alexis pointed to the page. "See, isn't Miroku cute?" she said. Kamakani's eyes widened and she cried, "YOU LIKE THE PERVERT?" I joined in, saying, "The perverted freak?" "But, but Miroku's cute!" whined Alexis. Then, the school bell rang. "Hurry up," said Kamakani. "We're like the last people out here." We ran from our location on the asphalt playground to the main building, but there were some construction workers digging a hole in the ground on our path. We couldn't stop and ended up falling into the hole. Then, everything went dark…
"Annie, Alexis, are you awake?" asked Kamakani. I felt her shaking me and my eyes flickered open. Alexis had bolted up right when Kamakani had touched her. "Where are we?" I asked. Kamakani looked at me and said, "You tell me!" Alexis was flipping through the pages of the Inu-Yasha book (apparently, the book had dropped down the hole with us) and looking back and forth between the book and the scenery around us. "Alexis, what are you doing?" asked Kamakani. "Uh, I think we might be in Feudal Japan," she replied. Kamakani's jaw nearly dropped. "What do you mean, feudal Japan? It's not like were in Inu-Yasha's world." I looked over Alexis's shoulder and saw that the scenery in the book was very similar to the scenery around us. "Kamakani, I think she might be right," I said. Behind us, there was a wooden well, just like in Inu-Yasha. While we were contemplating this, a girl popped out of the well. She was dressed in Japanese school clothes and was carrying a large duffel bag. When she took sight of the three of us, her eyes widened. Apparently, we were a surprising sight.
"Who are you?" she asked us. Kamakani and I stared at her for a moment. "I think I know her. I remember seeing her somewhere," Kamakani whispered into my ear. I nodded in agreement. Alexis hadn't noticed the girl, who was looking over her shoulder to see the book. Alexis had just so happened to be on a page with a close up of Inu-Yasha and Kagome. "Hey! That's me!" cried the girl. She pointed at the picture of Kagome. Alexis turned around and saw that the girl was indeed Kagome. "And that's Inu-Yasha!" Kagome cried again. Kagome had completely forgotten about us and snatched the book away from Alexis. "What kind of book is this?" Kagome asked. She looked at the cover. "Inu-Yasha, A feudal fairy tale," she read. "Huh? I'm not a fairy tale." Kamakani tapped Kagome on the shoulder. "Ahem, may I have my book back?" she asked. "Oh, of course," said Kagome. She handed the book back to Kamakani. "Um, could you tell us where we are?" I asked Kagome. I wasn't sure if Alexis's hunch was right. "We're in Feudal Japan, if that's what you're asking," replied Kagome. Then, out of nowhere, the dog half-demon known as Inu-Yasha appeared. "WHERE WERE YOU?!" he shouted at Kagome. He lunged at her angrily. But, before he hit her, Kagome cried, "SIT!". Inu-Yasha slammed onto the ground. "SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!" shouted Kagome. With every "sit", Inu-Yasha was pushed farther into the ground until he was in a nice little rut. Kamakani, Alexis, and I stared in amazement, our jaws hanging. "Come on, let's go to the village," said Kagome as she dragged Inu-Yasha by the arm in the direction of the village. Curious, the three of us followed her, trying hard to stifle our giggles.
