The Next Generation...Way to go, Inuyasha! Chapter: 3
Synjo, Runi, and Kyoshi had grown out of their toddler years and were now in their early adolescence. Synjo was twelve, Kyoshi and Runi were eleven. Runi and Kyoshi were the best of friends, and they didn't get into a lot of trouble, much to Kagome and Sango's relief. Rin and Shippou had settled down as well. They got married, and Rin was pregnant. Kagome and Inuyasha still got into little fights sometimes, and the fights always ended with a big "SIT!" Sango and Miroku had their little quarrels, also. Unfortunately, Miroku did NOT keep his word about touching Sango in such a manner when Runi was around. Sesshomaru was still...single. As for Synjo, he had the time of his life by bugging his lil' sis every day. (Sibling rivalry, whoever knew?!)
Synjo smirked to himself as he sat in his favorite tree. He watched as he saw his sister and her best friend come out from the outskirts of the village and into the forest. He followed them like an eagle following his prey. He had the perfect plan to torture his sister, even if it meant taking her best friend down with her. As Kyoshi and Runi reached the lake, they sat down, and caught their breath. Runi was the first to speak, "Tell me again, why are we here?" Kyoshi rolled her eyes and sighed heavily, "To get a glimpse of the awesome scenery here! My mom used to come to this spot when she was new to this village. She told me about this spot so many times that I decided to come and see it for myself. Plus, I had to take you with me." Runi groaned, "Oh joy, since when did I become your companion?" Kyoshi retorted, "You're my best friend! I had to take you with me! I didn't want you to miss out on the fun either!" Runi replied sarcastically, "Oh, like this is fun?" Synjo was still in his tree, still watching. When were they going to let down their guard? He cursed quietly to himself, "How long does it take for them to get relaxed? 50 years!? Girls take so much time to change, do their hair, and take a bath!" Runi stood up and finally said, "You know, it's not that bad. It's kind of peaceful here." Kyoshi smiled to herself, "I know. I wanted to come here so I could improve my artwork. You can bet that Rin will be pleased when she sees what a great artist I've become!" Synjo smiled broadly. This was it. It was now or never. Synjo glided down and pushed his sister and her friend into the lake head first and yelled, "Care for a dip?!" After seeing his sister and Runi disappear under the water's surface, Synjo ran home and decided to hide. He knew what the consequences would be, but he just couldn't resist picking on his sister.
As Synjo got home, Kagome asked him, "Where's Kyoshi and Runi?" Synjo coolly replied, "They went into the woods to improve their artwork." Sango added, "Could you tell them to hurry up? We're going to have Shippou's birthday dinner soon." Synjo's face was placid, and he crossed his fingers behind his back as he said, "That's what I told them, but they said that they would be back in time for dinner." Kagome studied her son's expression for a bit, and then said, "Alright then, go help your father set up the table. Your Uncle Sesshomaru will be arriving any moment now."
"Aaargh! Synjo, you little butt! When I get home, you had better hide because I am so going to hurt you!" Kyoshi was thoroughly mad at her brother for pushing her and Runi into the lake. Runi was also infuriated, "What the heck is up with that brat of a brother of yours? Kami, I just want to strangle him!" Kyoshi picked up her rucksack and stared into the clearing, "You're not the only one, Runi." Runi stared at her friend in disbelief, "You mean you don't tell your parents?" Kyoshi shrugged, "This time I will. Now it's officially WAR!" Runi started for the village, "We should get back. Everyone will be worried if we don't get back soon." Kyoshi shivered, "Not to mention that it's getting colder too."
Everybody was sitting down at the table when Kyoshi and Runi entered the room. The two girls were soaking wet, and Kyoshi was starting to sniffle loudly. Miroku looked at them cheerily, "What did you two do this time? Did you walk under a ladder, or did you smash a mirror?" Sango half-glared at her husband and said under her breath, "Have you ever looked into one lately? {1}" Synjo was quietly leaving the room, and Kyoshi noticed this. She decided that now was the time for Synjo to pay. She put on a cute pout and said in a huffy voice, "Synjo pushed Runi and me into the lake again." To make their point clear, Runi coughed loudly. Inuyasha stood up abruptly, "Where is he? I'll teach him a lesson! He should never push his sister into a lake! How rude can my son get?" Kyoshi snapped, "Very. Look Dad, Runi and I are going to change in my room, and please torture Synjo for me." As the two girls left the room, Shippou cried indignantly, "Hey! You could at least wish me a 'Happy Birthday'!"
~*~*~*~
A few days after Shippou's birthday party, everything was back to normal. Synjo didn't push Kyoshi and Runi into the lake anymore, and Inuyasha seemed to cool down." As Kyoshi exited the house, she saw Runi running towards her. "Kyoshi! Kyoshi! Look! Look!" Runi screamed as she stopped in front of her best friend, and pulled back her long black hair. Kyoshi cocked an eyebrow, "Look at what, Runi?" Runi slapped her forehead and said, "My ears! Look! My mom pierced my ears!" Kyoshi's eyes went wide, "As a punishment?" Runi cried, "NO! You see, my dad has his ears pierced, and my mom said that if I was a good girl at Shippou-san's birthday party, I could get my ears pierced!" Kyoshi pouted, "No fair! I wanna get my ears pierced too!" Runi replied, "Then ask your parents, they might say yes." Kyoshi sighed, "I highly doubt it." Runi stared at her best friend in disbelief, "Just ask. It won't hurt just to ask." Kyoshi countered, "Okay, but if I get chewed out by my parents, you're going to be the FIRST person I'm blaming!" Runi smiled brightly, "Alright!" Kyoshi stared, "You're supposed to be cowering in fear." Runi smiled even wider, "I know. But this is how I cover my fear. When I get home, I run around and scream like crazy." Kyoshi went inside saying, "Runi, sometimes you are just too weird."
Kyoshi entered the kitchen where she found her mother cooking lunch. "Mom," she asked, "Where's Dad?" "He's out back, in his favorite tree," Kagome answered without looking away from her cooking, "why do you want to know, anyways?" Kyoshi answered innocently, "Oh nothing, nothing at all. I just wanted to see if he wanted company." Kagome turned around and faced her daughter and said, "Well, when you see him, tell him that dinner is in a few minutes." "Okay," was all that Kyoshi said as she bounded out of the room and headed straight for outside. After a few minutes, she found Inuyasha napping against the base of his favorite tree. He was lightly snoring. "Oh great," she thought to herself, "This is going to be lots of fun." Kyoshi tried waking up her father, "Dad? DAD? DAD! Wake up! DAD! THIS IS IMPORTANT, NOW WAKE UP!" Kyoshi growled, "I hate it when this happens, I guess I'll just have to resort to this..." She took a deep breath before screaming at the top of her lungs, "INUYASHA! KAGOME'S BEING EATEN ALIVE BY A PACK OF HUNGRY WOLVES!" Inuyasha was up in an instant, "Kagome, KAGOME! Don't worry, I'll save you! I'll- wait...Kyoshi! I was in the middle of my meditating, why d'you wake me up?!" Kyoshi folded her arms across her chest and muttered, "Gee dad, I never knew that you SNORE when you meditate!" Inuyasha sweatdropped, "Uh, well, that, was, uh- WAS I REALLY SNORING?!" Kyoshi snapped, "Like fifteen hogs at mealtime. Anyways... Dad, can I ask you a question?" "Inuyasha sat down again, "Sure, what is it. You know you can always come to me for advice." Kyoshi started, "Uh, well- um, I was, uh..." Inuyasha reprimanded, "Quit beating around the bush, Kyoshi." Kyoshi blurted, "Dadcanyoupleaseletmegetmyearspierced?!" Inuyasha cried, "What did you say? Slow down!" Kyoshi calmed down a little bit, "Okay, okay. Dad, can you please let me get my ears pierced," then seeing the look on her father's face, she quickly added, "PLEASE! Runi got her ears pierced and I want my ears pierced, too!" Inuyasha stood up and took his daughters doggy-ears into his hands, "Absolutely not! I forbid you to ruin your precious ears!" Kagome came out, "Lunch is ready. So if you want to have your dinner..." "MOMMY! MOMMY! DAD WON'T LET ME GET MY EARS PIERCED!" Kyoshi ran to her mother. Inuyasha growled lightly, "She always runs to Kagome when I say 'no'." Kagome looked at Inuyasha pleadingly, "Inuyasha, please, Sango came over and told me about it." She took Kyoshi's ears into her hands, "I think that Kyoshi will look cute with pierced ears." Inuyasha, "I'm not going to let her do it!" Kyoshi and her mother began to push Inuyasha towards Runi's house saying, "And?" Inuyasha cried, "I'm still not changing my mind!" "So?"
"I can't believe that I'm letting her do this," Inuyasha whined as he and Kagome were waiting in the next room while Kyoshi was getting her ears pierced. He turned to Kagome, "If her hearing becomes worse after this, I am putting you responsible!" Kagome replied calmly, "Inuyasha?" "What?" "Sit..." ~*CRASH*~
Runi squealed, "What was that?" "Oh don't worry," Kyoshi said quickly, as Sango was finishing up piercing her ears, "my mom just 'sat' my dad." "OH!" Sango came into the next room, followed by Runi and Kyoshi, saying, "Alright, she's done!" Kagome cried out in delight, while Inuyasha gasped in horror. Kyoshi looked very proud, "So what do you think?" Inuyasha snarled, "You will not get another ear piercing, is that clear? You might regret ever having your ears pierced!" Kagome smiled brightly, "Don't worry dear, he's very proud of you!" Inuyasha exclaimed, "How did you know that?" Kyoshi laughed, "Sorry dad, but you're just too predictable!"
Okay! It's longer! YAY! Okay, please review, and e-mail me if you have any questions! Buh-bye, now!
