Hello and well met! I haven't updated anything recently, but that could be
because no one sends me reviews! (hint hint) I mean, I haven't updated my
continuing stories, not these one shots.
Here's is proof that I actually stayed awake during Powers' lectures in Senior AP English this year. This is a Native American legend about Coyote and how the different Indian tribes were formed. I just threw in a dash of Japanese and a few well-loved Inuyasha characters. This is almost a one- shot, but I just want your opinions before I put up the rest of the story.maybe someone will review!? Please?!
Oh yeah, I don't own IY, blah blah.but I do own a cool set of IY playing cards with a different picture on each one. Very Nice!
And now..
The Sucking Monster
A long time ago, before youkai and humans roamed the earth, before the world was covered in green, blue and every shade of the rainbow, the world was covered in dirt. Mountains and hills filled the horizons with their dusty browns. At night, the deepest of ebony swallowed up the earthy world, only to spit it back up the next day.
The only other colors that graced the surface of this lonely planet were the animal beings that took on humanoid form for amusement and lived out simple existences and fought for dominance. One of the most intelligent and brave of these was Coyote Miroku. He tried to be fair and kind, but sometimes was a little too kind, with the ladies, that is. In truth, he was downright lecherous. All other feminine beings that knew him wouldn't come within twenty feet of him voluntarily.
Whap! Conk! Slap!
A dazed Miroku lay on the ground, momentarily entertained by a torrent of birds and stars, while a red-faced female stood over his form. Shaking off the visions with such speed that it bordered on him having much experience, he stood up and faced his beautiful companion.
"So does this mean you won't bear my child, oh fair maiden?" A loud snort and the view of a retreating backside of his attacker were his only response. Unfazed, Miroku started after the vanishing belle. A loud snarl was the only warning he had before he was knocked to the ground by a heaving body. Obeying instinct, Miroku kicked up his heels, catching his opponent in the stomach and forcing him away.
Miroku laughed, catching sight of the white hair that flowed around his attacker's face. "You're gonna have to get up earlier to pull one like that over on me, Inuyasha."
Dog Inuyasha stopped himself from slamming himself again into Miroku, and instead shouted, "I thought I told you to hold off on your lecherous ways with Raven Kagome. If I ever see your hand reaching for any part of her again, I'll cut off your hand and make you eat it! Or at least go for your kazanna and let it suck you in!"
Coyote Miroku held out his left hand in a pacifying gesture. "Come, Inuyasha, I had no impure intentions towards Kagome, I only wished to." He was cut off by a laugh.
"YOU? Have PURE intentions? Don't make me laugh.oh wait.too late!" Inuyasha collapsed on the ground with a mocking laugh. Miroku narrowed his eyes at the figure rolling in the dust in peals of laughter. Clearing his throat, he tried to get Inuyasha's attention. That failing, he tried poking the convulsing figure with a sandaled toe. Even this gesture didn't pull Inuyasha out of his laughing stupor. Finally, Miroku pulled an ofuda* out of nowhere and conked him over the head. That brought Inuyasha back to the real world real fast.
"So, where's Fox Shippo?" asked Miroku. "He was supposed to meet me here so I could further his training."
Inuyasha's eyes widened. "You haven't heard then," he said, losing the last of the laughing twinkle in his eye.
"Haven't heard what?"
"We think, well.Kagome thinks, that she saw the Sucking Monster suck him in."
"The Sucking Monster?" puzzled Miroku.
"You haven't heard of the Sucking Monster!?" yelped Inuyasha, shocked. "The Sucking Monster is the latest terrible creature who is sucking up all the other animals that have been defying him. He's trying to set himself up as the new Ultimate, but he'll never succeed as long as everyone keeps fighting against him. He probably wouldn't have faced so much opposition, except he doesn't take on allies, he just sucks them all up, and so many of the others have grudges against him. And the fact that he's the most disgusting looking blob that hit this world since, since Hippo Manten. I suspect Shippo was just in the wrong place when Manten and his brother Hiten challenged him." Inuyasha stuck his nose in the air. "I would challenge him myself," he boasted. "But I have Kagome to look after and think about."
"Something must be done," mused Miroku. "But what can I do to stop this beast? I must think this through carefully before I launch a counterstrike."
"All I know about the creature," Inuyasha interrupted Miroku's thoughts. "Is that he sucks in his prey, much like your kazanna does, except with a much greater force. He's very proud of his ability to suck anybody up."
"Very proud.his ability to.Inuyasha, you're a genius!" Miroku suddenly bolted out of his thinking mode. Inuyasha looked stunned, which was understandable, as he'd never been called a genius before.
"Wait! Where're you going!" shouted Inuyasha at Miroku. But he was already too far off, buoyed onto faster speeds by his inspiration.
