*laughs uncontrollably* HAHAHAHAHA!!! YOU GUYS ARE REALLY PISSED!!!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! And the threats and crying! HAHAHAHA!!!! *falls over
laughing* HAHA-ouch-HAHAHAHA!!!
HAHAHA!!!! Sorry guys! I had been planning her death from the start. I love Kaiho really. She's the best original character I have ever created. Like I said: You guys need to trust me. I'm not exactly the type to make you guys want to cry, but in this case... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Disclaimer:
*Neo weeps in a corner*
Keri: Oh Kami... what did I do...? *pauses* HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Neo: *hits Keri over head with Mallet-sama* WHY DID YOU LET HER DIE?!!
Keri: *chooses to ignore that question* I do not own Inu-Yasha. *waits for Neo to say her part* *looks over at Neo who is crying into Sesshomaru's tail* Okay, I'll say it then. *imitates Neo's voice* Hi! I'm Neo_Star and I own Megami!
Neo: *looks up from Sesshy's tail* You suck at imitating my voice. *proceeds with the doings of before*
~~~~~~~~~Ahh... Love CRASH! BANG! BOOM! (what a title! After something so dramatic too.)
----Megami and Sesshomaru----
"It was rather bloody actually. Kaiho's parents were killed so unmercifully that they drowned in their blood before dieing from the great injuries they had. An assassin, who was hired by someone who hated Kaiho's parents, killed them. Rather sad don't you think?" Sesshomaru stated all of this in a calm way then looked towards Megami's horror-struck face.
"You talk about it like it's no big deal!" Megami screamed in Sesshy's face. (Neo, I didn't notice I was making Megami serious... I could have sworn she was being somewhat funny... well, I'll try to fix it!)
"Well, it isn't to me," Sesshomaru shrugged.
"Sesshomaru..." Megami said from behind him.
"Huh-?" he was struck in the head with something.
Megami grabbed her fan. "You are so uncaring sometimes!"
"That's my job!" he grabbed his pain in agony.
"ARGH! I'm going off now! To find Sango and Kagome! I need to find Kaiho damn it, and you're here talking about death like it's an everyday thing!"
"It is." *WHAM*
"I know it is! But I was speaking hypo- GAH!!!" Megami walked off.
Sesshomaru kidded: "You know you love meeeeeee!!!"
"I know I do!" Megami stopped dead. "What did I just- STOP CONFUSING ME WHEN I'M MAD!!" she turned to glare at Sesshomaru and attempted to hide her blush. ( I like Sesshomaru OOC... grrr... I'm making Megami sound... other worldly odd.)
-----Soumei------
Soumei held Kaiho's lifeless body. "Kaiho..... I never got to tell you that I l-" Soumei's sentenced was unfinished when he found himself looking up at Inu-Yasha, Shippo, and Miroku.
"What the hell?!" Soumei got up. It wasn't dark yet. Only just getting there. (I gave you guys that hint you should have guessed but noooooo... no one pays attention to the hints!!)
"You ran into a tree, got knocked out, and started talking in your sleep," Miroku looked like he was about to explode into a laughing fit.
Soumei paled. "What did you hear?"
"Everything from "Who..." to "I never got to tell you that I l-"" Inu-Yasha stated.
Soumei had a look of dread on his face. "None of you know what I was going to say right?"
Their blank looks told him other.
"If you tell Kaiho I will turn you into a pillow," he pointed at Shippo. "you into a showpiece," he then pointed towards Miroku. "and you, a blanket for puppies," he moved his finger in the direction of Inu-Yasha.
All gulped, "We swear!" Soumei could be REALLY intimidating when he wanted to.
Reality suddenly hit him hard. "Wait... so Kaiho ISN'T dead?!" he asked hopefully.
"Not that we're aware of," Miroku raised an eyebrow.
"Although she might be lying by a river, drowning in her blood as we sp-" Inu-Yasha was cut off.
"Don't be pessimistic now! WE NEED TO FIND KAIHO!" Soumei released his grip from Inu-Yasha mouth before Inu-Yasha bit him.
"Why is it I'm always left out?" Shippo looked up totally ignored by the taller species. "Hello!" Shippo jumped up trying to get their attention. "I've only been paid attention to once! Someone!" The men continued to ignore Shippo.
"Did someone hear something?" Miroku looked around.
"Yeah! That was meeee!" Shippo kicked Miroku in the shin.
"No," Soumei replied.
Shippo gave up. "I'll just wander off into the forest, alone, and maybe get eaten, torn to pieces, lying there, for Kagome to find my shriveled remains..." Shippo said.
"Let's go, right now!" Soumei started walking off with hope-filled eyes.
"I'm going to find Kagome!" Shippo stalked off towards the direction he thought Kagome was in.
"Shippo..." Miroku grabbed the kitsune.
------Kagome, Sango, and Kirara-----
"Mew..." Kirara nuzzled Sango.
"You can't sleep either?" Sango picked up the neko-demon and stroked her head.
"I know I can't sleep," Kagome shifted in her sleeping bag to face Sango.
"Do you think the boys are near by?" Sango asked.
"Why? Worried about Miroku?" Kagome said in a teasing voice.
"You should talk," Sango smiled evilly. (kukuku... ebil...)
Kagome decided to shut-up just then.
They heard a noise off in the distance: "HOLY F----ING SH--! GOD DA--- IT!!! WHY THE H--- DID YOU F----ING DO THAT?!!!"
It was unmistakably Inu-Yasha.
"I guess the boys are close by after all..."Kagome shrugged and got up.
------Inu-Yasha, Miroku, Soumei, and Shippo------
"Inu-Yasha! Calm down!" Miroku pleaded.
"SH-NO!" Inu-Yasha grabbed his head in pain.
"Relax! My sword couldn't have hurt you THAT hard!" Soumei returned his sheathed sword to his belt.
"WHY THE BLOODY HELL TO YOU HIT ME?!!"
"... Because you're an arrogant bastard who thinks too highly of yourself and never admits the truth."
"That about covers it..." Shippo smiled from his spot on Miroku's shoulder.
"Why you little...!" Inu-Yasha grabbed for the fox but Miroku's cool staff thingy came crashing down onto his head.
"WHY IS EVERYONE HITTING ME?!!!" Inu-Yasha screamed.
------Sango, Kirara, Kagome------
"Their voices are closer," Sango commented.
"Either that or Inu-Yasha's voice is getting louder," Kagome grunted.
------Inu-Yasha, Soumei, Miroku-----
Everyone had finally calmed down but it did leave everyone to sport a few bumps and bruises.
They had, amazingly, walked in silence for a mile when they saw a few familiar faces.
"Sango-chan?" Miroku looked at her disbelievingly.
"Yes Houshi-sama?" Sango made her boomerang clearer to see in case the Hentai Monk had plans to try something.
Miroku looked terrified for a few seconds before he realized he hadn't done anything yet and could TRY to prevent being damaged by the demon-bone boomerang. "Umm... What are you guys doing here?"
"Well, we HEARD you were near, so we decided to join you!" Kagome almost laughed when the guys turned to look at Inu-Yasha understanding his voice was how they found each other.
"So, any luck with finding Kaiho?" Sango asked.
"Actually..." Miroku started and both girls gave a hopeful look, "no..." He was hit on the head. "BUT! Something quite interesting happened," Miroku smiled very evilly (EBIL!!!).
Soumei's eyes widened. "WAIT! You said you wouldn't say anything!" He lunged forward to tackle Miroku but Inu-Yasha caught him.
"You see, Soumei ran into a tree..." Miroku began, "and he passed out. He had fallen asleep exactly right after he regained consciousness and started talking in his sleep." The girls became interested. "And do you know what he said?"
The girls couldn't think of anything so they shook their heads.
"MEGAMI!!!! You arrived at the perfect time!!! Tell us everything that happened!!!" Soumei leapt for joy that Miroku would have to continue his speech some other time... but he would be dead before that time came.
"Huh?" Megami looked at the strange scene: Inu-Yasha holding Soumei in a death grip, Miroku talking to the girls, the girls actually LISTENING to him, and Shippo sighing in disappointment of things being interrupted. "What's going on here?"
"Oh nothing... just trying to tell what Soumei had said in his sleep," Miroku waved it off but sighed.
"Okay. You tell first, then me," Megami smiled evilly and turned to look awkwardly at Soumei with malice in her eyes. (EEBBBIIILLL!!!!)
"Well, as I was saying, he ran into a tree, was knocked out, fell asleep when he woke up, and he started talking in his sleep. He was about to confess-" Miroku was cut off. (Have you noticed I'm always cutting that off? They never finish saying what Soumei really thinks about Kaiho)
"Megami! Just hold on a second!" an irritated voice came from the forest. "I was going to say I...could...." Sesshomaru trailed off when he realized whose campsite he waddled into.
"What the HELL is HE doing here!?" Inu-Yasha placed a hand on his sword. (I don't want people correcting me about that so now I'm just using "sword" and "katana" unless people stop telling me how to spell the name of Inu- Yasha's sword, then I might return to naming it)
"..." Megami turned around to face the person. Slowly, she circled around and paled once she saw Sesshomaru standing there with... AN EXPRESSION: Shocked!! (GASP!)
"SESSHOMARU!!" Megami ran and shoved him away from the group before he was attacked.
Megami had shoved Sesshomaru quite some distance before saying: "Why did you follow me?!"
"Actually-"
"I didn't want you to follow me!"
"But I was trying to-"
"Inu-Yasha could have killed you!"
"Actually he-"
"No! I don't want to hear it!"
"What I'm trying to say-"
"You'll end up fighting about that damn sword!"
"If you'll just-"
"Sesshomaru, I want you to le-"
"WOULD YOU SHUT UP FOR A SECOND AND LET ME EXPLAIN?!"
"...O.O"
"Good. As I was trying to say, I came to tell you I can help you find Kaiho. In fact, I think I know where she is."
"THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO BEFORE?!"
Sesshomaru glared at her.
"So tell me, where do you think she is?"
"Usually, when she would get depressed or do that girl thing girls do-"
"Girl thing?"
"Yes, the girl thing. Get moody and stuff. Anyway, she would always go to this one river."
"Moody girl thing?"
"...Yes, now will you listen?"
"...girl thing..."
"YES! Now! She always went to a river that was near a clearing in the woods. A half circle clearing."
"...girl thing..."
"So, all you have to do is find that place and I'm more than certain she'll be there."
"Sesshomaru... where did you learn about this "girl thing?""
"...why?"
Megami walked off laughing leaving a very confused Sesshomaru behind. (I can't remember where, but I think in another story something like that happened, so I do not take credit for it! Don't hurt me!)
Megami walked back to the camp still giggling at the whole "girl thing" and especially hearing it from Sesshomaru.
"Okay, Sesshomaru's gone now. He told me something very amazing," Megami's shoulders still shook with laugher.
"What?" Kagome asked.
"He told me where Kaiho might be."
(THE END!!! Just kidding!)
Megami explained what Sesshomaru had told her before and what he had said just now, minus the "girl thing."
"This is great!" Sango said.
"So, what was Soumei saying in his sleep?" Megami remembered, much to Soumei's dismay.
"Ah yes!" Miroku's eyes gleamed in a mischievous way.
"So spill it houshi!" Megami saw the terror on Soumei's face and realized then that this was going to be good!
"Soumei was talking in his sleep. He had obviously dreamed that he found Kaiho, but near death. He was about to confess that..." he built up the anticipation, "...that... he loved her!"
Megami, Sango, and Kagome all said at the same time, "I KNEW IT!!"
All there girls were laughing and dancing in a circle at the fact that they had all guessed right.
"No! It's not true!!! Damn it! Stop!!!" Soumei tried to stop them but failed miserably.
"It's all right Soumei. It was pretty obvious," Miroku patted the fuming kitsune on the back.
Soumei gritted out: "I... hate... all... of you!"
Kagome was still chanting, as were the other girls, when she grabbed Inu- Yasha's hands and forcefully brought him into the ritual without thought. He was wide-eyed as he stared at her small hands holding on to his.
"Um... Kagome?" he stammered out. (This is my ficcie. I can make it whatever the hell I please! Action/Romance/Humor... what else am I missing?)
"Yes, Inu-Yasha?" Kagome finally snapped back to reality. "Oh... sorry!" she blushed as she regretfully released the hanyou's hands.
Shippo stood to the side watching everything happen at once. "I don't understand anything anyone does anymore..." he sighed and sat down on the ground. (Poor little Shippo-chan. He's always left out! HAHAHA!!!)
"Okay! That's it! Enough! We need to find Kaiho before we find her dead!" Soumei brought back the seriousness to the group in an instant.
"Alright... so, does anyone know where any river clearings are?" Megami asked the group.
"I know where a few are," Inu-Yasha spoke.
"Lead the way!" Megami smiled.
----After walking for about... 30 minutes!------
"This is the song that never ends! It just goes on and on my friend! Some people started singin' it not knowin' what it was, and they'll continue singin' it forever just because: This is the song that never ends!" Shippo chanted as he walked beside Kagome.
"Kagome..." Inu-Yasha's irrigated growl never stopped as he spoke.
"-my friend!"
"Yes?" Kagome asked in the sweetest tome she could muster knowing perfectly well what was about to happen.
"-started singin' it not knowin' what it was! And-"
"Why did you teach Shippo that song?" Inu-Yasha asked very calmly, which frightened Kagome and everybody else to no end.
"-forever just because!"
"Well, you see, uh... he.... And I-"
"Because, it's really annoying!" Inu-Yasha leapt at Shippo without warning, strangling him while banging his head on the ground.
"Inu-Yasha! Let Shippo go!" Kagome tried to pry his hands off the kitsune's neck, who, by the way, was still attempting to sing the song.
"Why?! You can't "osuwari" me! You'll squish Shippo! There's no way out! BWUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Inu-Yasha cackled as he continued strangling the fox.
"Shut up!" Megami and Soumei screeched together.
Everyone went silent. An eeriness settled over the searchers as they watched Megami and Soumei expectantly.
"There... is a river nearby," Soumei instinctively walked towards the smell of water and Kaiho, but then realized the existence of his companions and fought the urge to shoot straight into the forest and find Kaiho. 'Just to know she's okay...'
"Kaiho's nearby too. I can smell it," Megami brightened. 'No blood lingers with her scent either. Thank god.'
"Well, there's no use in standing here, let's get going," Soumei led the group.
After walking for what seemed like forever, Kaiho's smell had reached the point where it felt as if all you had to do was reach forward into the brush and she would be there.
"Would you like to go first Soumei?" Megami asked.
"Yes..." Soumei walked deeper into the forest leaving behind his smiling travelers.
'I have a sudden feeling of déjà vu...' Soumei walked into a clearing. 'The dream was here...' The bottom of Soumei's stomach dropped out. 'What if...' He quickened his pace when he reached the river to find Kaiho sitting on a stump staring at her reflection. 'Thank Kami...'
Kaiho was no longer oblivious to Soumei's smell. She turned abruptly with a tear-streaked face.
"Kaiho..." Soumei whispered in relief and in worry.
"Soumei," Kaiho smiled and got up. (Fluffness?)
"Kaiho!" Soumei ran to her. (....^ ^;; dramatic scene in those romance movies)
"Soumei!" Kaiho ran forward but stopped about three feet away leaving Soumei quite puzzled.
"Kaiho? What are you-?" he was cut off.
"SOUMEI!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LET ME TRAVEL DEEP INTO THE FOREST, ALONE!!" Kaiho began to hit him on the head or any vulnerable spot.
"AHHHHHH!!!" Soumei tried to run.
The rest if the group entered when the cries were heard.
"Ah... love," Miroku sighed.
"Love? It doesn't look like it," Megami wrinkled her nose.
*sound affects: CRASH! BANG! BOOM!*
"Yeah, looks more like pain to me," Shippo tilted his head to the side.
"Ouch," Sango flinched when Kaiho struck Soumei into the ground.
"Idiots," Inu-Yasha snorted.
"This reminds me of many other couples," Kagome sweatdropped.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU DAMN KITSUNE!!!" Kaiho chased after Soumei.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Soumei ran as fast as he could.
~~~~----Authoress land----~~~~
Well, I worked long and hard on this chapter. I hope you guys liked it! Kaiho's not dead! You guys can not imagine how hard I laughed! I was on the phone with Ame, and I got about 6 e-mails with everyone crying and threatening me. Ame was freaked out because my laughing was scary. Anyway, it took me a while to type this up because I had stopped halfway in it and then we had a lot of things happening in school. But now, since after all that mess at school, I have very little to no amounts of homework!
I told you guys I wouldn't make it completely lovey... and you should have trusted me not to hurt Kaiho... only emotionally! And some physically... Soumei will have some very interesting marks of "love" from now on. I can see it: A dark black eye, sprained wrist, and a broken nose... Love hurts, ne?
YAY! This is the longest chapter yet! 11 pages! The others were always 6 or something like that.
I'm sure you can figure out the glossary in your own.
Until next time tomodachi,
Ja ne!

Kagome was still chanting, as were the other girls, when she grabbed Inu- Yasha's hands and forcefully brought him into the ritual without thought. He was wide-eyed as he stared at her small hands holding on to his.
"Um... Kagome?" he stammered out. (This is my ficcie. I can make it whatever the hell I please! Action/Romance/Humor... what else am I missing?)
"Yes, Inu-Yasha?" Kagome finally snapped back to reality. "Oh... sorry!" she blushed as she regretfully released the hanyou's hands.
Shippo stood to the side watching everything happen at once. "I don't understand anything anyone does anymore..." he sighed and sat down on the ground. (Poor little Shippo-chan. He's always left out! HAHAHA!!!)
"Okay! That's it! Enough! We need to find Kaiho before we find her dead!" Soumei brought back the seriousness to the group in an instant.
"Alright... so, does anyone know where any river clearings are?" Megami asked the group.
"I know where a few are," Inu-Yasha spoke.
"Lead the way!" Megami smiled.
----After walking for about... 30 minutes!------
"This is the song that never ends! It just goes on and on my friend! Some people started singin' it not knowin' what it was, and they'll continue singin' it forever just because: This is the song that never ends!" Shippo chanted as he walked beside Kagome.
"Kagome..." Inu-Yasha's irrigated growl never stopped as he spoke.
"-my friend!"
"Yes?" Kagome asked in the sweetest tome she could muster knowing perfectly well what was about to happen.
"-started singin' it not knowin' what it was! And-"
"Why did you teach Shippo that song?" Inu-Yasha asked very calmly, which frightened Kagome and everybody else to no end.
"-forever just because!"
"Well, you see, uh... he.... And I-"
"Because, it's really annoying!" Inu-Yasha leapt at Shippo without warning, strangling him while banging his head on the ground.
"Inu-Yasha! Let Shippo go!" Kagome tried to pry his hands off the kitsune's neck, who, by the way, was still attempting to sing the song.
"Why?! You can't "osuwari" me! You'll squish Shippo! There's no way out! BWUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Inu-Yasha cackled as he continued strangling the fox.
"Shut up!" Megami and Soumei screeched together.
Everyone went silent. An eeriness settled over the searchers as they watched Megami and Soumei expectantly.
"There... is a river nearby," Soumei instinctively walked towards the smell of water and Kaiho, but then realized the existence of his companions and fought the urge to shoot straight into the forest and find Kaiho. 'Just to know she's okay...'
"Kaiho's nearby too. I can smell it," Megami brightened. 'No blood lingers with her scent either. Thank god.'
"Well, there's no use in standing here, let's get going," Soumei led the group.
After walking for what seemed like forever, Kaiho's smell had reached the point where it felt as if all you had to do was reach forward into the brush and she would be there.
"Would you like to go first Soumei?" Megami asked.
"Yes..." Soumei walked deeper into the forest leaving behind his smiling travelers.
'I have a sudden feeling of déjà vu...' Soumei walked into a clearing. 'The dream was here...' The bottom of Soumei's stomach dropped out. 'What if...' He quickened his pace when he reached the river to find Kaiho sitting on a stump staring at her reflection. 'Thank Kami...'
Kaiho was no longer oblivious to Soumei's smell. She turned abruptly with a tear-streaked face.
"Kaiho..." Soumei whispered in relief and in worry.
"Soumei," Kaiho smiled and got up. (Fluffness?)
"Kaiho!" Soumei ran to her. (....^ ^;; dramatic scene in those romance movies)
"Soumei!" Kaiho ran forward but stopped about three feet away leaving Soumei quite puzzled.
"Kaiho? What are you-?" he was cut off.
"SOUMEI!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LET ME TRAVEL DEEP INTO THE FOREST, ALONE!!" Kaiho began to hit him on the head or any vulnerable spot.
"AHHHHHH!!!" Soumei tried to run.
The rest if the group entered when the cries were heard.
"Ah... love," Miroku sighed.
"Love? It doesn't look like it," Megami wrinkled her nose.
*sound affects: CRASH! BANG! BOOM!*
"Yeah, looks more like pain to me," Shippo tilted his head to the side.
"Ouch," Sango flinched when Kaiho struck Soumei into the ground.
"Idiots," Inu-Yasha snorted.
"This reminds me of many other couples," Kagome sweatdropped.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU DAMN KITSUNE!!!" Kaiho chased after Soumei.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Soumei ran as fast as he could.
~~~~----Authoress land----~~~~
Well, I worked long and hard on this chapter. I hope you guys liked it! Kaiho's not dead! You guys can not imagine how hard I laughed! I was on the phone with Ame, and I got about 6 e-mails with everyone crying and threatening me. Ame was freaked out because my laughing was scary. Anyway, it took me a while to type this up because I had stopped halfway in it and then we had a lot of things happening in school. But now, since after all that mess at school, I have very little to no amounts of homework!
I told you guys I wouldn't make it completely lovey... and you should have trusted me not to hurt Kaiho... only emotionally! And some physically... Soumei will have some very interesting marks of "love" from now on. I can see it: A dark black eye, sprained wrist, and a broken nose... Love hurts, ne?
YAY! This is the longest chapter yet! 11 pages! The others were always 6 or something like that.
I'm sure you can figure out the glossary in your own.
Until next time tomodachi,
Ja ne!
