Hai! Omake desu!

By Richard Sienkewicz

Preliminary note: This is just a little series of unrelated "shorts"
that have been popping into my head lately. I don't really consider
any of them to be really worth continuing (or even practical/tasteful
to continue in some cases). If, for some God-forsaken reason, you
actually are interested in taking an idea from here and working on it
yourself, just e-mail me. I'll probably say "yes", and then proceed
to give you any ideas for plot/characterization that I may have for
the bit in question. There isn't really any one series that's
dominant here, so I'll try my best to give notice when I'm switching
from idea to idea/series to series. That being said, enjoy!

Let us begin, shall we?

Forests are typically quite peaceful places, full of cute furry
animals (TM), birds, plants, and vicious predators who happily devour
the aforementioned cute furry animals (TM) and birds. Part of the
reason for this is a general lack of humans mucking about in said
forests, so wouldn't this be the type of location to start a nice,
relaxed tour of Sengoku period Japan?

Let us proceed, then, to a forest that lies to the East of a
village that will, within fifty years or so, be on the outskirts of a
city named Edo. Now, as you may already know, nothing of importance
is happening here at this ti-

"Kyaaa!!!"

A young girl dressed in a green and white schoolgirl's uniform from
modern day Japan screamed as she dove away from the cloud of dust and
debris that now occupied the spot where she had previously been
standing. As the dust settled, the figure of a boy, apparently the
same age as the girl, became visible.

He was almost, but not quite, human-looking. If it weren't for his
pure-white hair, or yellow-irised eyes, or largish furry ears perched
atop his head, one would almost assume that he was from some
neighboring village. As it was, however, he was not exactly human,
and the few villagers in the area (including one old woman wearing
the clothes of a Shinto Priestess) were staring at him apprehensively.

The young man smirked at the girl from his crouching position where
he had just landed.

"Next time, I'll tear you in two..."

The girl, who seemed to have lost all common sense, stopped in her
tracks for a moment, in order to yell at the boy.

"You're really trying to kill me, aren't you!!!"

Meanwhile, the villagers were busy discussing matters amongst
themselves, instead of trying to stop the girl from being killed.

"Inuyasha's seal getting broken was a bad thing, right?"

The man's slightly shorter, fatter companion turned to him and
spoke in an annoyed voice.

"Yes, Kensuke, Kagome-sama releasing a half-demon who seems intent
on killing her WOULD FIT NICELY IN THE BAD THINGS CATAGORY."

The old priestess mumbled something nasty under her breath and
reached for something that was hidden in the folds of her shirt.

Inuyasha leapt forwards at an impossibly quick speed, only to have
his claws demolish the trunk of a tree that Kagome had somehow
managed to duck behind in an attempt to save herself.

She was forced to dive out of the way when the tree almost fell on
her, however, and a small marble-like object fell out of her grasp
and rolled for some distance away from her.

"Got it!"

Inuyasha dove for the marble and snatched it up, not noticing the
string of beads that had appeared mysteriously around his neck.

"Kagome, recite the spell that will bind Inuyasha!"

Kagome looked at the old priestess in confusion, "Huh?"

The priestess spared a worried glance towards Inuyasha who was
chuckling and staring at the jewel he held in his grasp.

"Anything will do, just say it before it's too late!"

Kagome took that moment to reveal her true abilities at thinking on
her feet.

"Umm.... Errr...."

Inuyasha continued to ingnore everyone around him as he popped the
jewel in his mouth and swallowed. His ears melted back into his head,
as a new, more human-like, if pointed, pair took their place. The
make-up of his face shifted, becoming slightly more angular and
better defined, and also acquiring markings. Red-colored slashes
appeared on his cheeks under each eye, running diagonally up his face
and disappearing behind his hair, which had retained its original
color.

Kagome's response was short, and to the point.

"Oh, FUCK!!"

The string of beads around Inuyasha's neck glowed brightly, and he
was pulled over to Kagome.

Some of the villagers developed nose-bleeds and fainted, others'
jaws dropped in shock, still others, who were some of the more
perverted members of the village, watched in enjoyment.

The old priestess sighed, shook her head, and then massaged her
forehead with the fingers of one hand.

"At least he's not trying to kill her anymore..."

Note: I think you can recognize Inuyasha there quite easily. Though
it's rather evil what I did at the end... This is one idea that I
definitely *don't* think it would work to continue, for obvious
reasons. Anyway... now on to the next.

Omake!

Inuyasha stood up and straightened his kimono, smothing out the
rumpled folds. He then reached inside his gi and pulled out a pack of
cigarettes and a lighter. He leaned back against a nearby tree as he
placed a cigarette in his mouth and lit it, taking a long puff. After
a moment, he looked down to where Kagome was still lying, her face
frozen in an expression of shock.

"Girl, you can subdue me anytime."


Special thanks to my friend, Fuuten, for supplying the idea for the
omake's omake... Irony's a fun thing, ain't it?
