The Vampire Squirrel, Chapter 3
NOTE: Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi, not me. Oh yeah, the idea of the vampire rodent came from Bunnicula.
Kirara attempted to chase the squirrel away, but instead, it hopped onto Miroku.
"It seems like a vampire squirrel to me", commented Myoga.
"A wha….?!" Shrieked Miroku really really loudly.
"They suck the juices out of vegetables and plants. That's probably why there are little white patches leading up to it."
"Bleghhhhhhhhhhhhhh………vampire squirrel….", commented Miroku, staring down at his shoulder where the adorable rodent was sitting.
"Vampire squirrels are very rare", continued Myoga. "They caused much destruction in the nearby farms, so farmers hunted them out. During its lifetime, one vampire squirrel will be able to turn a whole forest white just by sucking up its everyday meals, for vampire squirrels live very long."
"So, eventually, this whole forest will be all dried up and white?" said Kagome, sadly staring out at the vast beauty of the green forest (with exception of the little white patches).
"Well……I don't see any way to prevent it", said Myoga.
"I do!" shouted Kagome. "Let's just hand feed it vegetables!"
"Vegetables are a healthy part of one's diet!" the squirrel piped up.
Later (During their lunch)
"It needs three meals per day", said Myoga.
"Then I'll give it three meals everyday", stated Kagome. "Hey….come back here, don't eat the grass!" shouted Kagome at the vampire squirrel. The vampire squirrel blinked and hopped around camp trying to find something else to eat.
Later (During dinner)
"Noooooo…….not my ramen!" yelled Inuyasha. "Kagomeeeeeeeeeeeeee, the squirrel made my ramen all dry again!"
"Don't eat Inuyasha's ramen", said Kagome. "Come here and eat the carrot I gave you."
"But carrots taste baddddddddddddddd", whined the squirrel.
"Hm….let's see………" Kagome thought hard. "Myoga, what crop were the vampire squirrels known for causing much destruction to?"
"Tomatoes. Corn. Anything but carrots."
"Acorns?"
"No. But corn will do."
"Darn, I was thinking about giving Shippo's acorns to it."
"What?!" exclaimed Shippo. "Not my acorns!"
"Come on, stop fighting. We all know that Kagome would never do that, she's such a nice girl." Miroku decided to add that statement of his own into the conversation while giving Kagome kissy faces. He was rewarded by a bang on the head from Sango and kissy faces from………………………the squirrel.
AN: Don't ask me when Kagome became so caring for the environment. She just did. It's a part of the story, just think about it that way. And no, the squirrel is not in love with Miroku.
*Tell me in a review if you thought of something good to put in the story and I'll think about it. Don't worry, I'll give credit for it too. Unless you don't want credit for the idea. Oh yeah, and tell me if you thought of any suggestions for improvement.*
