**Is interrupted by screaming coming from a closet**
Hyperchica: What is that? **Goes to closet door**
Muffled voice inside of closet: LET ME OUT!!!
Hyperchica: Why should I?
Muffled Voice: Because I've been in here for over two weeks?
Hyperchica: Do you have candy?
Muffled voice: I'll buy you candy if you let me out!
Hyperchica: Promise?
Muffled voice: Yes, yes, now let me out, you insolent girl!
Hyperchica: You are mean. Hyperchica no gonna let you out.
Muffled voice: WAIT! I didn't mean it! Come back.
Hyperchica: I never left, silly boo-boo-bear!!
Muffled voice: **Muttering**
Hyperchica: **Pulls axe out of back pocket, breaking belt loop in the process** dang! That's the seventh time this week that's happened! Oh well! SHOPPING SPREE!!!
Muffled voice: Wait! Don't leave! I have candy!
Hyperchica: CANDY!! **Starts hacking into the door with the axe**
Muffled voice: AAAHHH!!! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE SWINGING THAT THING!!
Hyperchica: Gimme candy! Now!!! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now . . . ooooooh . . . bishi . . .
Muffled voice: That is not my name. I am Vegeta. And I am leaving now! **Whispers** Before the other crazed fan girl comes back.
Hyperchica: BISHI NO LEAVE WITHOUT GIVING HYPERCHICA CANDY!!!
Vegeta: I don't have candy.
Hyperchica: WHAT!!! You lied!?!?!?! Grr . . .

Hyperchica: LIAR-MEANIE-FACE!! Now you have to be my one-and-only-love-of- my-life-for-ever-and-ever-at-least-for-a-week.
Vegeta: No I don't. Now when I can get away in my Super Saiyan form!
Hyperchica: You can't get away! There is no escape!
Vegeta: Oh really?
Hyperchica: Yes!
Vegeta: Watch me. **Begins to transform**
Hyperchica: Nice try. **Pulls out a bottle of "Super-Saiyan Reverser" spray and sprays Vegeta**
Vegeta: WHAT DID YOU DO?
Hyperchica: Nothing, Veggie! Hey artichokes are veggies! I will call you Veggie the Artichoke!!! And your hair kinda looks like an artichoke too . . . ok! It's settled! Now, Veggie, we shall start the fic.
Vegeta: NO! I AM VEGETA! ONE OF THE LAST SAIYAN WARRIORS ALIVE! NO ONE CALLS ME AN ARTICHOKE AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!
Hyperchica: **Stuffs cantaloupe in his mouth so he can't talk** Except for me, huh Veggie?

Chapter 13
Un Intrusion y un Cambiado de Ropa(An intrusion and a change of clothes)
3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3
3~~~~~Where we are starting from~~~~~3
(Summarized) Rin is heading off to take her bath in the hot springs.
3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3
3~~~~~And now we continue~~~~~3
The delectable smell of rice cooking over a fire wafted over to Shippo's nose. He immediately sat up straight and looked around.
Being both a teenager, a boy, and a demon, his appetite was more voracious than a normal human's, and it let him know it wanted food when it growled at him.
Spotting the rice cooking over the fire, he hopped down from his tree branch. He sat down in front of the pot with the rice and peered into it.
"It's done!" Shippo exclaimed as he started shoveling rice into his mouth at an unbelievable pace.
After eating the majority of the rice, he realized he'd have to leave some for Rin to eat. He glanced in the pot again, and decided that the meager amount left in it would be enough for Rin.
'For her to be that skinny, she must eat next to nothing anyway,' concluded Shippo, trying to justify leaving so little for his female companion to eat.
"Hey Rin, this stuff is really good!" declared Shippo, looking from left to right and behind him to compliment her. He then noticed she wasn't there.
"Rin, where are you?" asked Shippo, standing up. He got no answer.
"Come out, come out, where ever you are," Shippo said.
Again, no reply. He wandered around the area, scouring his surroundings with his eyes looking for where she might be hiding. Still, no Rin. Shippo was beginning to get worried.
"Hey Rin, this isn't funny!" Shippo yelled as he returned to the fire pit once again. It was only then he noticed Rin's pack.
It looked as though it had been ransacked. All the contents were spilt out everywhere.
'DUH! Why didn't I notice this before?' thought Shippo.
As he observed closer, it seemed as though Rin had been chucking the contents of her pack systematically. They seemed to follow a trail. It was almost as if she was throwing them at somebody.
"OH NO! RIN'S BEEN KIDNAPPED!!!" yelled Shippo, coming up with the conclusion most obvious to his brain. He quickly sought out her trail. Oddly enough, there was no foreign scent accompanying hers.
'It must have been one of those demons that can mask their scent who kidnapped her! Rin's in trouble!' panicked Shippo, as he raced along the trail of her scent.
3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3
"So . . . on the first evening a pebble, from somewhere out of nowhere drops upon the dreaming world."
As she bathed, Rin quietly sang a lullaby she had picked up during her travels from a mother singing to her fussy infant on a quiet evening. Rin didn't know why, but that song had stuck in her head ever since. Rin continued humming the tune as she rinsed her hair with water.
"Ah . . ." Rin sighed. " This is so nice! Finally, all that crud I've acquired during the last few days is off! Ugh! But still, it's nice. I wouldn't have even been able to get dirty if I was still at Sesshomaru's castle."
She then remembered the shortage of rice that morning, and what it meant.
Rin continued thinking out loud. " I have to be going home soon, I guess. Oh, but I will miss all my adventures . . . and all the fun I had . . . and him. I'll definitely miss him. No! New train of thought! Ok, ok, ok . . . oh dear. I'm not gonna make it back to the castle in time! He only gave me a month and a half to wander! And that's already passed! Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness!"
Just then, Rin saw a water spider. Just a normal, non-demon, harmless water-spider.
Rin HATED spiders. Rin was deathly afraid of spiders. Especially non- demon ones.
"EEEEEEK!!!!"
3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3
Shippo continued tracing Rin's scent through the forest. He had just about lost her scent when he heard an ear-splitting, glass shattering scream from somewhere to the east. He raced that way.
As he got nearer to where he heard the scream come from, he heard a new panicked screeching.
"NO! NO! GO AWAY FROM ME! DON'T TOUCH ME!" Shippo heard Rin's voice. It was very near now.
"Don't worry Rin! I'm coming!" muttered Shippo under his breath. He reached a bank of bushes and crashed through them to where Rin was.
"Where is it? I'll get it!" declared Shippo. However, when he saw Rin's predicament, his face turned bright red.
The sight he saw is not one he had expected to see: Rin was huddled up against a boulder, clutching her wet clothes which she had grabbed off the shore to her skin, and terrified of a little water-spider.
She looked up and saw him.
"AH! GETOUT!GETOUT!GETOUT!GETOUT!GETOUT! NOW!" Rin screamed, throwing her New-tre-geen-nuh at him, which he easily dodged.
"I'm s-s-s-sorry R-R-Rin. I j-just th-thought you were in d-danger or someth-thing. I d-didn't mean t-to b-barge in on you . . ." Shippo then noticed Rin's death glare upon him, as well as the fact that he still hadn't left. His face turned a few shades brighter.
Oh shoot!" Shippo yelled at himself as he dashed out of the hot springs area even faster than he used to run away from Inuyasha.
"STUPIDSTUPIDSTUPIDSTUPIDSTUPID! Duh! STUPID!" Shippo muttered as he ran back to the campsite.
3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3
In spite of the compromising nature of the encounter at the hot springs, Rin chuckled to herself. Shippo had acted quite comically. If it weren't for the fact he had invaded her privacy, she probably would have been laughing her head off right now.
'He looked like he thought I was gonna kill him! OMG! I wish I could have shown him his face at that second! It was hilarious!' Rin thought.
After a little more time at the spring, Rin decided she was sufficiently bathed. She dried herself off, and then reached for her clothes. They were soaking wet, not to mention worn and torn in all the wrong places.
"This is indecent!" Rin uttered.
She grabbed the change of clothes she always brought with her wherever she went. It was the kimono she had worn as a child.
"I guess this will have to do. It may be a bit small, but its condition is better than my other outfit's."
Rin changed and headed back into camp.
3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3
Shippo was sitting down by the fire, beating himself up for being so stupid.
"That's what I get for reading too much into things," he muttered.
He heard footsteps on the side of the clearing. He recognized Rin's scent, and immediately covered his eyes.
"Shippo?" Rin ventured.
"Are you decent?" he asked.
Rin laughed. "Of course I am!"
Shippo uncovered his eyes, revealing a still-red face.
Rin giggled again. "You are so funny!"
Immediately, Shippo re-covered his eyes.
"I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE DECENT!" yelled Shippo.
"I AM!" retorted Rin.
"NO YOU'RE NOT! LOOK AT WHAT YOU ARE WEARING!"
Rin looked down. Her dress seemed to have gotten shorter since the last time she wore it. It stopped almost a foot above her knees. (Think mini- mini skirt.)
"Oh dear . . . " Rin said, shaking her head in disbelief.
"CHANGE BACK!" demanded Shippo.
"I would, but I can't," explained Rin.
"Why not?" he asked, letting his hands drop from over his eyes as he talked to her.
"Look," Rin said, holding up the clothes she wore before.
"Oh."
"Yeah, 'Oh'."
"Well, I guess that's ok then," mumbled Shippo.
"I'm glad you think so," said Rin, somewhat sarcastically.
"We should probably get going," remarked Shippo, eager to change the subject.
"Ok."
The two headed off toward the west. Rin decided that she could wait a bit longer before telling Shippo that she needed to go back to Sesshomaru's.
3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3
Rin and Shippo had been walking for a while, and so far, nothing that eventful had happened. Rin had tripped on an artichoke lying randomly in her path, and Shippo had helped her up. Then Shippo tripped over a cantaloupe, and Rin had helped him up. But besides that, nothing really happened.
But all of that is irrelevant. Pay it no attention.
Shippo suddenly sniffed the air. His face suddenly turned very grave.
Rin noticed the change. "What's wrong?" she said, peering up at Shippo with a worried face.
He continued staring forward and his expression did not change. He only uttered on single word.
"Blood."
3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3 THE END!
Just of the chappy, not of the ficcy. Don't worry your little heads.
I know, I'm evil. Such a horrible cliffy. I think . . . :) heehee!
Hyperchica: Ok, this is TOTALLY UNREALATED, but if I ever get another kitty (and it actually lives long enough without getting eaten by a coyote or bobcat or owl and such) I wanna name it Kilala. NOT KIRARA, even tho that may be her real name in all other languages. I THINK KILALA IS FUNNER TO SAY, don't you?
Vegeta: And your point is?
Hyperchica: And if I ever get a fat cat I'm gonna name it BUYO!
Vegeta: Can I go now?
Hyperchica: NO!!! YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE!!! You still have to help me figure out names for any possible pets I may ever have, the names of my kids, the names of my grandkids, who I am going to marry, where I'm gonna get married, when I'm ever going to be committed enough to actually get married, what type of party favors I'm going to have at all my birthday parties for the rest of my life, AND the guest lists! AND MUCHMUCH MORE!!! BWAHAHAHA-
**A voice screams in the background**
Voice: WHO TOOK HIM? WHERE DID HE GO!
Vegeta: Oh no.
Voice: VEGETA!!!!
Vegeta: Oh no.
Hyperchica: HE'S OVER HERE!!!
Vegeta: No! Don't tell her! Too late . . . What did I do to deserve this horrid fate!
Voice: AH! Vegeta! There you are! How did you get out of the closet?
Vegeta: None of your business.
Hyperchica: HI! I'm hyperchica!
Voice: I'm darkpride! Did you let him out?
Hyperchica: He promised me he'd give me candy.
darkpride : Oh. Ok. WELL! I'm taking him back!
Hyperchica: Ok. He was no fun anyways.
darkpride: You're coming with me, Mister! **Pulls Vegeta by the ear out of the room**
Vegeta: Ouchouchouchouchouchouchouchouch!!!!!!!! Stop it!
Hyperchica: BUT WHAT ABOUT MY CANDY?
darkpride: Here. Here are some Shock Tarts. Have fun.
Hyperchica: YEAH!!!! Ok you can take him! I can always find a new one-and- only-love-of-my-life-for-ever-and-ever-at-least-for-a-week.
OK! NOW! THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! REVIEW RESPONSES!!!
****LilInuyashaMunky****- Ooh! I have a shirt that has a cute little elephant on it! :) Anyways, glad you like my story!!!
****darkpride****- Thank you for letting me borrow Vegeta! Hm . . . I just realized, if you found the key, then I could have used that instead of chopping the closet door into tiny little splinters . . . but that would have been no fun! LoL! Yeah, and I know it was a very short chappy. I is sowrwy!
****kari-cahn ^_^**AKA**Kikyou-sama****- Oh. Ok. :) I was just curious. Do you happen to know where I can get Ramna 1/2 manga or anime episodes? Do they even have it in the US? Oh, and I read your story! I hadn't recognized it before, but it was one of the one I lost track of! I used to read it all the time! Now that I've found your super-duper-AWESOME fic, I will never lose it again! NEVER! :) Oh and the lady that invented Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2 . . . her name is . . . um . . .taking a stab in the dark (cuz I don't know it either. You can come out of hiding now!) I think it's Rumiko Tas- something. LoL! Heehee. I should go run and hide too. :) Hey! You could run and hide with me and we could hide out at Cold Stone Creamery and eat ice cream and work on our ficcys and it would be fun!!!
****Asher Tye****- A nice calm chapter, huh? Wow. I never thought I'd hear anything I was affiliated with described as "calm." But I guess there's a first time for everything, right?
****anime haiku****- Yeah, it was short. But this one is longer! YEAH FOR HYPERCHICA!!! Ok. Calm now.
****Nightswift****- I need to steal you and bring you to my school. Then you can tell all my friends that you prefer it when I am hyper. :) Maybe then they will stop telling me to calm down and grow up and get a boyfriend (which, for the seventy-millionth time, I do not want or need! No tengo un novio, no quiero un novio). And I am replying to your review :) right now I am! :) heehee. I always read your reviews, if it makes you feel any better! You are one of my most consistent reviewers! Ooh, and the stocking up on candy idea: PURE GENIUS! Except I have the sneaking suspicion that I'd finish it all before I got home. And besides, I'm sure I'll find where Mom hid the Halloween candy sooner or later, LOL! And yes, I know the chappy was short. I'M SOWRWY! :(
****anime girl****- Ah! A new face . . . err . . . screen name. Yeah! Anyways, I'm glad you love my story! :)
You guys, just a general question, do you think my fic is boring? Any suggestions on how I can spice it up or make the events more interesting? I have the plot planned out, but the next major twist doesn't come for about 3 note-chapters.
A note-chapter is a chapter I plan out in my notes, but I usually break up the note-chapters into littler update-chapters. For example, this chapter and the previous 2 chapters were all broken up parts of one note-chapter. Yeah, so I need help to SpIcE uP tHe StOrY!!!! LoL! Yeah. Anyways. Please! Suggestions wanted!
Oh yes, and my summary doesn't seem to be attracting many readers either . . . any ideas on how I can fix it? (lol, Microsoft word told me to change the word "doesn't" into don't. Ya, my summary don't seem to be attracting no darn readers no more! Ok. Calm now)
Omg. I just realized. Just my author's notes this chapter are 5 pages long. Geez. Well, don't worry; I'll only count the pages with the actual story for the review quota.
OOH! GUESS WHAT! My sweet sixteen is coming up! April 22, earth day! MY BIRTHDAY IS EARTH DAY!!
Ok. TOTALLY UNREALATED: I wanna know: Exactly what does Inuyasha say when he does his "soul stealer" attack? I've heard "iron rebirth soul stealer" "iron reaver soul stealer" "Iron reverse soul stealer" and I can never figure out which one is right!!!
UNTIL NEXT TIME!
Read and review!
I need **7** reviews before I post the next chappy.
INKY-BOO!!!! Heeeeeeeello!!!!! I AM HYPER AGAIN!!! No thanks to my stupid principal! Ok, I get back to school after being sick for FIVE DAYS, and what has happened? She's going to close the snack shack!! GRRRR!! Going to hurt that meanie . . . not really. I'm just going to lead all of the fuzzy gerbils (who you do not put down the garbage disposal because they will not be your friend after that) and Bobo the dancing, singing, cheerleading, nacho-eating camel and his friend Lala the pink with blue polka dots tap- dancing camel and Billy the happy-go-lucky-psCHoMINt and his friends. . . what was I saying? Oh yes! I am going to lead them all on a mad rampage through the halls yelling, "HYPERCHICA NEEDS CANDY!!! GIVE HER BACK HER BELOVED SNACK SHACK!!!!"

Rin noticed the change. "What's wrong?" she said, peering up at Shippo with a worried face.
He continued staring forward and his expression did not change. He only uttered on single word.
"Blood."
3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3~~~~~3 THE END!
Just of the chappy, not of the ficcy. Don't worry your little heads.
I know, I'm evil. Such a horrible cliffy. I think . . . :) heehee!
Hyperchica: Ok, this is TOTALLY UNREALATED, but if I ever get another kitty (and it actually lives long enough without getting eaten by a coyote or bobcat or owl and such) I wanna name it Kilala. NOT KIRARA, even tho that may be her real name in all other languages. I THINK KILALA IS FUNNER TO SAY, don't you?
Vegeta: And your point is?
Hyperchica: And if I ever get a fat cat I'm gonna name it BUYO!
Vegeta: Can I go now?
Hyperchica: NO!!! YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE!!! You still have to help me figure out names for any possible pets I may ever have, the names of my kids, the names of my grandkids, who I am going to marry, where I'm gonna get married, when I'm ever going to be committed enough to actually get married, what type of party favors I'm going to have at all my birthday parties for the rest of my life, AND the guest lists! AND MUCHMUCH MORE!!! BWAHAHAHA-
**A voice screams in the background**
Voice: WHO TOOK HIM? WHERE DID HE GO!
Vegeta: Oh no.
Voice: VEGETA!!!!
Vegeta: Oh no.
Hyperchica: HE'S OVER HERE!!!
Vegeta: No! Don't tell her! Too late . . . What did I do to deserve this horrid fate!
Voice: AH! Vegeta! There you are! How did you get out of the closet?
Vegeta: None of your business.
Hyperchica: HI! I'm hyperchica!
Voice: I'm darkpride! Did you let him out?
Hyperchica: He promised me he'd give me candy.
darkpride : Oh. Ok. WELL! I'm taking him back!
Hyperchica: Ok. He was no fun anyways.
darkpride: You're coming with me, Mister! **Pulls Vegeta by the ear out of the room**
Vegeta: Ouchouchouchouchouchouchouchouch!!!!!!!! Stop it!
Hyperchica: BUT WHAT ABOUT MY CANDY?
darkpride: Here. Here are some Shock Tarts. Have fun.
Hyperchica: YEAH!!!! Ok you can take him! I can always find a new one-and- only-love-of-my-life-for-ever-and-ever-at-least-for-a-week.
OK! NOW! THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! REVIEW RESPONSES!!!
****LilInuyashaMunky****- Ooh! I have a shirt that has a cute little elephant on it! :) Anyways, glad you like my story!!!
****darkpride****- Thank you for letting me borrow Vegeta! Hm . . . I just realized, if you found the key, then I could have used that instead of chopping the closet door into tiny little splinters . . . but that would have been no fun! LoL! Yeah, and I know it was a very short chappy. I is sowrwy!
****kari-cahn ^_^**AKA**Kikyou-sama****- Oh. Ok. :) I was just curious. Do you happen to know where I can get Ramna 1/2 manga or anime episodes? Do they even have it in the US? Oh, and I read your story! I hadn't recognized it before, but it was one of the one I lost track of! I used to read it all the time! Now that I've found your super-duper-AWESOME fic, I will never lose it again! NEVER! :) Oh and the lady that invented Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2 . . . her name is . . . um . . .taking a stab in the dark (cuz I don't know it either. You can come out of hiding now!) I think it's Rumiko Tas- something. LoL! Heehee. I should go run and hide too. :) Hey! You could run and hide with me and we could hide out at Cold Stone Creamery and eat ice cream and work on our ficcys and it would be fun!!!
****Asher Tye****- A nice calm chapter, huh? Wow. I never thought I'd hear anything I was affiliated with described as "calm." But I guess there's a first time for everything, right?
****anime haiku****- Yeah, it was short. But this one is longer! YEAH FOR HYPERCHICA!!! Ok. Calm now.
****Nightswift****- I need to steal you and bring you to my school. Then you can tell all my friends that you prefer it when I am hyper. :) Maybe then they will stop telling me to calm down and grow up and get a boyfriend (which, for the seventy-millionth time, I do not want or need! No tengo un novio, no quiero un novio). And I am replying to your review :) right now I am! :) heehee. I always read your reviews, if it makes you feel any better! You are one of my most consistent reviewers! Ooh, and the stocking up on candy idea: PURE GENIUS! Except I have the sneaking suspicion that I'd finish it all before I got home. And besides, I'm sure I'll find where Mom hid the Halloween candy sooner or later, LOL! And yes, I know the chappy was short. I'M SOWRWY! :(
****anime girl****- Ah! A new face . . . err . . . screen name. Yeah! Anyways, I'm glad you love my story! :)
You guys, just a general question, do you think my fic is boring? Any suggestions on how I can spice it up or make the events more interesting? I have the plot planned out, but the next major twist doesn't come for about 3 note-chapters.
A note-chapter is a chapter I plan out in my notes, but I usually break up the note-chapters into littler update-chapters. For example, this chapter and the previous 2 chapters were all broken up parts of one note-chapter. Yeah, so I need help to SpIcE uP tHe StOrY!!!! LoL! Yeah. Anyways. Please! Suggestions wanted!
Oh yes, and my summary doesn't seem to be attracting many readers either . . . any ideas on how I can fix it? (lol, Microsoft word told me to change the word "doesn't" into don't. Ya, my summary don't seem to be attracting no darn readers no more! Ok. Calm now)
Omg. I just realized. Just my author's notes this chapter are 5 pages long. Geez. Well, don't worry; I'll only count the pages with the actual story for the review quota.
OOH! GUESS WHAT! My sweet sixteen is coming up! April 22, earth day! MY BIRTHDAY IS EARTH DAY!!
Ok. TOTALLY UNREALATED: I wanna know: Exactly what does Inuyasha say when he does his "soul stealer" attack? I've heard "iron rebirth soul stealer" "iron reaver soul stealer" "Iron reverse soul stealer" and I can never figure out which one is right!!!
UNTIL NEXT TIME!
Read and review!
I need **7** reviews before I post the next chappy.
