INUYASHA'S PLAN

Inuyasha flopped down on the couch right when he came home from school. He turned on the TV. There was a reporter talking in the background about last year's carnival. He flipped the channel to a scientist called Takashi, and he investigated the different effects of fireworks. Inuyasha got pretty interested in the TV program. 'Takashi...that name sounds so familiar...' thought Inuyasha, 'Hey!! That's Hiten's dad!' Takashi displayed his latest technique-Firewords. Inuyasha watched the television screen, as the black background sky was lighted up by different coloured fireworks spelling out the word, Takashi.

"As you see here with these fireworks," explained Mr. Takashi, "you can spell out different words by altering the shape and size of the container. You can easily make these at home, and these supplies will be required..."

Inuyasha dashed out of the family room in a second, and came back with a pencil and a piece of paper. He wrote down all the ingredients, directions, and formulas down. He turned off the TV, went to his room, and collapsed onto the bed. Grinning at himself for his ingenuity, he was satisfied with the plan he came up with for the carnival fireworks.

"Kagome...just you wait...I'll show you my love..." he mumbled, as he drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

The next day...

"Oi, Hiten!" yelled Inuyasha.

"Oh! Ohayo, Inuyasha!! What's up?" greeted Hiten.

"I think I saw your dad of TV yesterday. He is a scientist that experiments with fireworks, right?"

"Hai. He is. He tells me all about them! I hope that I could be like him one day. I bet you could need some help, ne Inuyasha?" Hiten tease Inuyasha.

"Yeah. Listen, can I come over to your house today? I really need your dad to help me with the worded fireworks." Inuyasha replied seriously.

"Uh...sure! I think you can come! What are you writing in the firew-"

RINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Hiten was cut off by the bell.

"I'll tell you later, Hiten!" yelled Inuyasha, running to Kagome, Sango, and Miroku.

Today, science would be their subject for the whole day because they had to work on their fireworks.

"Class, I had to get a new shipment of gunpowder, fuses, and matches because yesterday's incident had burnt up most of the gunpowder." Nagasaki-sensei replied, turning his head and piercing his eyes at Inuyasha, letting his short loose jet black bangs cover a part of his forehead.

It was hard believe that Nagasaki-sensei was only twenty four years old. Some of the girls stared intently at his serious handsome face and sighed. He paid no attention to them.

"We are going out onto the basketball courts again. The materials we need are outside on the court already. I assume that all of you know the formula now?" he said silkily.

"Nope!! I don't!" Kawasaki-sensei said cheerfully from the door of the classroom.

Nagasaki-sensei froze at the sound of the voice. Everyone knew that Nagasaki-sensei had a crush of Kawasaki-sensei. Tsuyo Kawasaki taught all types of arts including hip hop dancing, music, visual arts, and clothing fashion designs. She had a similar beautiful voice as Utada Hikaru, except that it was sweeter. She also had a talent for hip hop dancing. Her clothing attire was very modern, and some of them, she had stitched up herself. Everyone practically loved her classes...well, most girls, that is. Today, she was wearing a beige halter top with a short sleeved light jacket to cover up her back. It was a white translucent material. She had a black mini skirt to go with the top. Her clothes hung onto every curve of her slender lean body. She also wore the silver structure sandals from Skechers to match her outfit. Her crystal blue eyes and chestnut brown hair tinted with a coffee colour, gave everything a nice look.

Nagasaki-sensei slowly turned around to look at her crystal blue eyes. He would always melt when he looked at them.

"What is it?" he asked gruffly, and turned his back to her, before his desires would go crazy and urge him to grab her and kiss her passionately.

"Ano...Shitake-san told me to tell you that you guys can do your fireworks at the park because he hired some workers to replace the cement on the basketball courts. Oh, and the janitors already put your materials at the park." she replied sweetly, smiling.

He nodded at her and turned back to the class. She then left the room to her own class.

'Gods...'he thought to himself, 'her smile is so...irresistible...'

"Alright, class!! To the park!!!" he ordered.

The class looked knowingly at each other, before filing out of the class.

At the park...

"Ah...Kagome, do you mind if you, Miroku, and Sango do the fireworks today? Hiten and I...ano...he has to show me the formula of the fireworks." Inuyasha said nervously, hoping that Kagome would buy it. She didn't.

"Inuyasha, I can show you the formula!" she offered.

"No! It's...fine!! You kind of...well...confuse me. Hiten can help me with the formula since his dad knows about fireworks." he tried to make up a better excuse, but no luck.

Kagome narrowed her eyes, "Fine then!!" she snapped, and walked to Sango and Miroku.

'Phew! That was close!!' he thought, as he walked to Hiten.

Hiten taught him the method, and showed him how to make different shapes and sizes for the fireworks. It was something even Inuyasha enjoyed doing.

By the end of the day, Inuyasha had mastered the formula, and Kagome's attitude towards him hadn't changed one bit. She was still mad at him for rejecting her help and that he went to Hiten instead. Even though she hadn't spoken a word to him all afternoon, they were still standing together with Miroku and Sango.

"Hey! Inuyasha! Ready to go?" Hiten asked Inuyasha, adjusting the straps of his backpack.

"Yup! I'm ready! See you guys later!" Inuyasha said to the group.

"Where are you going, Inuyasha? I thought we were going to walk home together today!" Kagome said to Inuyasha, obviously still pissed.

"Ano...I have to go to Hiten's house today, gomen! Maybe some other day!" he yelled as he ran to catch up with Hiten.

"Humph! Fine then!! See if I care!" she yelled back at him, and dragged Sango and Miroku to the opposite direction.

Inuyasha sighed. This was not going to be easy. He needed someone to keep Kagome off his back until he could get his plan done.

At Hiten's house, Inuyasha phoned home, and then ran down to the garage. Hiten knew all about the worded fireworks. His dad taught him how to make one, and now he was pretty sure that he could teach Inuyasha.

"Ok...what words do you want the fireworks to display? You can have as many words as you want, but remember...the more words, the more complicated it will be." explained Hiten.

"Hai. The words I want to display on the fireworks are..." Inuyasha whispered them in Hiten's ear. (AN: Heh, there's like NO way I'm letting you know what those words are, but if you do have an idea of what those words are...meh! ^^)

Hiten chuckled, "Aw...Inuyasha...I'll reckon she'll like that!"

Inuyasha reddened, "Yeah, well...let's get started."

"Matte, what do I get in return?" Hiten demanded.

"We'll talk about it later, but for now...show me." Inuyasha told him.


After one hour...

"There! We're finally done!" cheered Hiten.

Inuyasha slumped down on the chair and closed his eyes. He was tired too.

"Now, what do I get in return?" asked Hiten.

Inuyasha opened one eye. He tried to think of something.

"Hey, Hiten! Do you have a date for the carnival?" Inuyasha asked Hiten.

"Uh...well...no...not exactly..." Hiten's face fell.

"Well, then let's find you one! How about...Yura?" suggested Inuyasha.

Hiten looked disgusted.

"YURA?! You mean that crazy freak who is obsessed with hair, and carries a red skull around?" howled Hiten.

"Uh...yeah...her...eh....never mind her then...forgot she was a freak..." Inuyasha grinned smugly. " Um...how about...Tsuki?" he implied knowingly

"Eh? Tsuki...I don't know...doesn't really matter..." replied Hiten, looking at the ground.

"You don't want Tsuki, eh? Well, how about Kanna?" Inuyasha suggested devilishly, knowing that his friend had his eyes on Tsuki.

"Huh? No!! Tsuki will do fine!!" shouted Hiten.

Inuyasha arched an eyebrow, "OOo....Hiten likes Tsuki!! I'll ask her for you then. Where's your phone?"

Hiten blushed, and handed Inuyasha the phone. Inuyasha dialed her number, AND...

"Hello? Can I speak to Tsuki, please?" he asked politely.

"Sure," replied the voice, then, "TSUKI, PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Inuyasha almost went deaf, as he covered his ears.
s
"Hello?" Tsuki's voice floated melodiously through the phone.

"Ah, hey, Tsuki! It's Inuyasha!" he said nervously.

"Uh...okay..." Tsuki replied slowly, confused at why Inuyasha phoned her.

"Um...do you have a date for the carnival?" he asked.

Hiten was keeping his fingers crossed for a no.

"Uh, no...not yet...why do you ask?" she demanded.

"Because...because...Hiten wants to ask you to go, but he's like too shy, so yeah. Can you go with him?" Inuyasha hoped.

"Sure! Tell him that I would love to go with him! What time is he picking me up?" she inquired.

"Um...six thirty." Inuyasha replied happily.

"Ok, then. Ja ne!" Tsuki sighed.

"Ok, bye!" Inuyasha said, and hung up.

When Inuyasha turned around, Hiten was dancing around pumping his fist in the air.

"YES!!" Hiten shouted, victoriously.

"You have to pick her up at six thirty. That's the time I'm picking up Kagome. You can come with us." Inuyasha said shortly.

Hiten nodded, and thought about Tsuki and her beautiful voice. Her coffee coloured hair really brought out the twinkle in her emerald green eyes. Her slender body was just made for fitting into his arms. Hiten was daydreaming again.

"Hello, Hiten? Hiten?" Inuyasha snapped his fingers in front of Hiten's face, "I'm have to go home now! Hear me?! HITEN!!!!!"

"Huh? Wha? What happened?" Hiten popped up from his daydream mode.

"I SAID, I'm have to go home now!" replied a slightly annoyed Inuyasha.

"Yeah. Ok. See you tomorrow at the carnival, then." He nodded to Inuyasha.


In Tsuki's room...

"OMG!! I can't believe that Hiten asked me!!! What should I wear?" Tsuki asked herself.

She went into her closet, and threw out her clothes onto her bed. She picked out a black cold shoulder top with silver sparkles on it, and a mini denim skirt covered with silver sparkles to go with her top. She was proud of her choice of clothing, as she went into her closet to pick out a pair of sandals. She selected a pair of silver sandals that she had bought from Le Chateau. 'Hiten is going to go crazy over my outfit!' she thought to herself, as she put all the other clothes back into the closet, leaving the outfit that she had chosen, out on her desk.

In Kagome's room...

"ARGH!! What should I wear for tomorrow?!" Kagome screeched, as she went through her pile of clothes. She came across a white tube top that had sparkles which spelled out the name 'Kagome'. She smiled and picked it up. She then searched through the pile until she picked out a pair of metallic blue skirt with a split on one side. 'Inuyasha will flip, as soon as he sees me...if he sees me at all, that is.' Kagome thought angrily, considering the fact that he would probably hang around Hiten all the time. Kagome sighed and put back all her clothes, leaving the outfit by her chair. She then turned off her lamp, and flopped down on her bed to catch some Z's.

In Sango's room...

Sango was in a terrible situation. She couldn't find a single outfit that was a bit showy, not that she wanted it to be showy. She just wanted to look nice for Takedo, but something was nagging at her-Miroku. She felt bad for rejecting him, and making him feel bad. She sighed. 'Oh well,' she thought to herself, 'at least he'll be with Koharu.' She went through ALL of the clothes in her closet. Then something caught her eye...a mini beige belly top. She picked it up, and tried to imagine what Takedo's look will be like if he sees her in it. She then selected a navy blue fleece skirt with little flowers embroidered around the hem. 'Perfect,' she thought. She then hung her outfit by the door, and collapsed onto her bed to catch her beauty rest.

In Koharu's room...

"Hm...what should I wear for tomorrow?" wondered Koharu. She was too tired to do anything, so she just picked out a pair of black capris, and a mini army green tee. She sighed and fell asleep, lying on her, considerably small pile of clothes.

"I hope Miroku would like my outfit for tomorrow..." was the last thing she said before falling into a dreamless slumber.

In...Kikyou's room?!?!?!

"Hm...I should wear the white spaghetti strap skirt I bought today, and...those white platform sandals I got for my birthday from Inuyasha last year...Inuyasha..." at the thought of Inuyasha, Kikyou's insides clenched together in hurt and anger. 'I wonder if he's going to the carnival? He's probably going to end up with no date because he's a hanyou! Then I can really make him jealous! HAHAHA!!' she thought evilly to herself. She then left her outfit on the bed, and slept on the floor...(AN: what a weird bitch!)

"Inuyasha..." was the last word she said before falling into a deep sleep, snoring like a pig. (AN: heh heh!)



Well, this chap was kind of long! Happy now? I wrote a long chapter, finally!!!^^
