Chapter 10: Monkey
-
Remember that ominous cloud hovering just over the mansion? Well about around midnight, it became a violent thunderstorm. Sumiko pulled the covers of her bed up to her nose and listened to the rain. She looked around at the twisted shadows that were projected on the walls around her. Morbid intimidating demon-like shadows danced across the walls and all of them seemed to be in a way, "watching" her and looming at her hungrily. The room flashed with light and a boom of thunder sounded overhead.
Sumiko squeaked in fear and covered her head with the blanket. She shivered and hugged herself under the warmth and tried to summon the courage to come out again. Finally, she stood up, wrapping her blanket tightly around herself; it was her thin armor of courage.
She started to slowly walk toward the door in bare feet, when she stopped and noticed smoke seeping through the crack below the door. She stopped and stared. A shadow of a person sat on the other side of the screen.
"Mother?" Sumiko called softly.
No answer came.
She gulped and started walking toward the door again. "Father?"
Again, no answer.
"Kitty?"
Silence.
"Shippou?"
Nothing.
"Sang-goo?"
No sound.
She reached out and slid the screen door open. The storm stopped. The moon was round and blotched in fuzzy gray wisps. No one was at her door. She poked her head out and looked around. There were no signs or shadows that even suggested there was a person nearby. The only sound that could be heard, was the rainwater dripping off of the wet roof and the wind calming down.
Sumiko scratched her left fox ear then looked down. A pair of shiny silver earrings lay at the foot of the door. She reached down and picked them up to examine them. "Laaalaaa!" she exclaimed, beholding their shiny finish. She put them in her kimono with all of her other stolen items.
-
"Oh god! Where is it?!" Kagome searched franticly through her backpack.
Shippou hopped over. "What's wrong, Kagome?" he asked.
"If it's about your chips, it wasn't me!" Inu Yasha said, sitting on the other side of the room with his arms crossed. At least this time, he had gotten rid of the incriminating evidence.
"No, it's not my chips, it's several things!" she said. "My English notes, my study guide, my cards......."
"Who cares?" Inu Yasha said.
Kagome looked up at the wall in front of her angrily. "SIT!!"
WHAM!!
She looked back at Inu Yasha, who had fallen face first into the wooden floor. "Why do you have to be so rude??" she asked.
"Me??" he said. "What did I do??!"
She huffed and went back to looking through her backpack. "You're so clueless!" she declared.
-
"Okay, you ready over there, Meat?" Shio asked.
Shippou stood like a gunmen in a western motion picture. "Ready!"
Sumiko and Miroku sat nearby watching.
"Okay..." Shio said, "....Miroku!"
Shippou whipped out a leaf quick as lightening and placed it on his head.
POOF!!
Where Shippou once stood, was Miroku. He winked and made a gun with his fingers. "Another One Bites the Dust!" he said.
"Kirara in demon form!" Shio called.
POOF!!
Miroku disappeared in a puff of foxfire and became Kirara in demon form. She growled then said, "Cats rule and dogs drool!"
"I resent that!" Shio said then called out the next one. "Sango!"
POOF!
Shippou became Sango. He/She put his/her hands on his/her hips and said in a provocative voice, "Let me-entertain you." (AN: Scene from Gypsy! ^^)
Shio grinned and called out, "Inu Yasha!"
POOF!!
Shippou as Inu Yasha smiled and gave the peace sign, "Peace, love, and crabs!" ^_^V
Shio laughed and clapped for him. "Good job, Meat! You're getting faster!"
In a ball of fox fire, Shippou became himself again. Over by the tree where Sumiko and Miroku sat, came clapping. Shippou responded by bowing and smiling like he was in front of a huge audience.
Shio laughed again and said, "Okay, get ready, because we're about to try something harder!"
Miroku grabbed his staff and used it as a prop to stand up. He started to walk threw the grass toward camp, but as he did, he heard soft footsteps just behind him. He looked out of the corner of his eye warily, then turned his head to look behind him. No one was there.
He started walking again and heard the footsteps crunching in the grass again.He didn't sense it was anything too threatening. He turned around quickly to see a flash of green dart behing a tree. He started walking again, though with a suspicious feeling nagging at him. Then he said, "It feels like somebody-" he turned around quicly. "Wants to sell me something!!"
There was no one there again. He kept walking, hearing the soft crunches of grass behind him. '.......crunch..........crunch..........crunch.......crunch................. .....crunch crunch crunch *WOOSH!* *SWISH!!*
Miroku spun around and saw nothing. He started looking around, when all of a sudden, he was tackled from behind. He screamed in surprise, then the stalker rolled him onto his back and sat on his stomach.
Breathing hard from the element of surprise, Miroku looked up wide- eyed at the stalker. "Sumiko?"
She smiled and said, "Ring-out!"
He raised his clothed hand to pat her butt, but she was too fast for him. She grabbed both of his wrists, oblivious to what he was about to do, and pinned them over his head. Then she said in a policewoman voice, "You are under arrest for stealing my heart!"
Of course, she didn't know what that meant. She quoted it from the romance book she stole from Kagome's backpack. Miroku looked up at her as if she had just commanded him to give her a child. And the way she was leaning over him, he took the opportunity to look her over with his eyes. "Lady Sumiko, you're like a 10!" he mused aloud.
Sumiko didn't know what he meant, but she was pretty sure it was a compliment. "Thank you!" ^__^
She looked down at him and asked, "Monkey, Sumiko have question!"
He continued to smile back hornily and nodded. "Yes?"
"Why does Monkey have glove?" she asked.
Miroku tilted his head back and looke at the Kazanna arm. He looked back at her and said, "It's a curse."
Sumiko climbed off of him and he sat up. She sat on her legs and put her wrists against her knees. She looked at him interestedly and asked, "What curse?"
He held up his hand and said, "There is a hellhole inside this hand. When I remove this rosary, it sucks up everything inside of it, and eventually it will swallow me."
Sumiko nodded her head once in acknowledgement then asked, "Is it fun?"
Miroku blinked and sweatdropped. "Well-"
"It sound like fun!" Sumiko smiled. "Can Sumiko have hellhole??" she asked.
"No! You don't want a curse like this!" Miroku said. "It's very bad!"
"Curse bad?" Sumiko said.
"Very bad!"
"Then why does Monkey have one?" she asked.
Miroku's eyes looked at her with half lidded eyes, somewhat tired. "A demon named Naraku gave it to me." He said.
"Naraku." Sumiko repeated. "What does look like?"
"He changes shape," Miroku started.
"Like kitsune?" Sumiko asked.
"Sorta, but he stays in that shape for a longer time then a kitsune does." Miroku said. "And he uses the shape for bad things. Right now, he has the form of a young lord, and he lives in a castle. He's dresses in a baboon pelt."
"What baboon?" Sumiko asked.
"A type of monkey." Miroku said.
"Monkey?" she said.
"Not the same as me of course." Miroku said. "But I'm looking for him, I'll get him back for what he's done to my family."
"Monkey fight Monkey?" Sumiko asked.
"Right, Monkey fight Monkey." Miroku nodded. Then he sat closer to Sumiko. "In the meantime, I'm looking for a beautiful young woman to bear my child."
Sumiko smiled and said, "Really?? I want a baby bear too!!"
Miroku facefaulted then laughed and said. "No, no! I mean I'm looking for a young woman who will give me a son!"
"Son? Monkey want Mother?" Sumiko asked.
"Yep!" Miroku put an arm around her waist. Sumiko looked at him with her innocent little smile and he asked, "Do you know where I could find a beautiful young girl who would be willing to be a good mother for my son?"
Sumiko looked upward as if thinking then replied, "How about Kaede- baa-chan?"
Miroku facefaulted. "No, I think she might be a little too old. Someone younger and prettier." He said looking at her as if trying to throw off hints.
Sumiko thought again. "How about Kitty? He's pretty!" ^_^
Miroku laughed again and said, "No, I'm not that kind of guy." ^_^;;;;; "A girl. Only girls can be mothers. A very pretty girl with a kind nature."
"Mother?" Sumiko asked referring to Kagome.
"Well, she's already you're mother, Sumiko. Think of a kind person, who is a girl and not a guy, who you think would be a good mate for me."
Sumiko started thinking. And she was thinking so hard, it looked like it hurt. After a few seconds, Miroku asked, "Are you okay, Sumiko?"
She looked at him and asked, "What difference between guy and girl?"
Miroku smiled and said, "Well the female has-"
WHACK!!!
Sango started sucking on her throbbing knuckles. "Damn, you have a hard head!" she said to Miroku. He fell over with swirlly eye and Sumiko just sat there looking down at him confused. Sango walked off.
Sumiko smiled and said, "Hey! What about Sang-goo! She be a good mother?"
Miroku sat up rubbing the lump on his head. He waited until Sango was out of earshot then said, "Yes, Sango I think would make a very good mother actually."
Sumiko smiled and leaned forward with starry eyes. "You think Sango would give you son??"
Miroku smiled and closed his eyes fantasizing. "Maybe someday."
"Yay!" Sumiko cheered and hugged herself. "Baby for Sumiko to play with!" then in her rapture she asked him, "What name of baby?"
Miroku held his chin and thought aloud, "Hmm, that's a good question, Lady Sumiko. What do you think?"
"Name it after Kitty!" Sumiko said.
Miroku watched her do her little sitting down happy dance and he said, "You really like him, don't you?"
"Sumiko luv kitty!" Sumiko said. "He's pretty! Sumiko want to play with his hair and ears! We would play together all the time!" she started fantasizing. "We would pick flowers, and eat candy, and tell secrets, then we would play some more.
Miroku sat watching her with a nice smile. Sumiko was like no other girl he had ever met. He decided that he wouldn't try to get her to bear his child anymore. She was sweet enough to be a baby sister.
