Chapter 20: Oh the Raging Hormones…
As Sumiko walked back to camp, the tunes of the magic flute vibrated into her silver earrings and she heard the voice in her mind again. "Sumiko…." She stopped where she stood, and stared straight ahead calmly.
"…Kill…"
Sumiko blinked her green catlike eyes and continued to stare ahead.
"….Inu Yasha….kill Inu Yasha….take his light…."
Sumiko smiled and tilted her head to the side, "Hm, sorry, but I kill Shio first."
There was a pause as the next few notes took time to arrive. "Kill Inu Yasha first….so that he cannot protect Shio….."
"You don't think I can do it?" Sumiko asked. "You underestimate my ability. I will kill Shio first and the reason for that stays my business and my business only."
Apparently she insulted the flute player because she heard one last shrill note of anger and the music disappeared. Sumiko walked up to the god tree and picked a long blade of grass. She sat down in front of the tree and wrote the name 'Shio' on it. She held it between her fingers and she started to transfer magic into it.
This was a lust spell. When the blade was done, she would have control over Shio's horomones. Whenever she were to lick the blade of grass, his horomones would jump a little until the saliva dried, and if she licked it enough times, he would become so amorous, he would just take one of the females of the group, and he would lose his light. Just as she finished the spell the other characters arrived at camp. Kagome sat down and began to boil some water over a little hotplate she happened to have in her backpack.
Sango started brushing Kirara's fur, while watching Miroku make sutra's, but he kept glancing up at Sumiko.
Inu Yasha was sitting up in his tree, he had a headache, from thinking about the quest for Naraku, the non-lying thing, Kagome, the nagging thought in the back of his head to be interested in Sumiko (which was part of Sumiko's spell), and wondering what Kagome was making. He turned his head as Shippou materialized on the branch next to him, almost making Inu Yasha fall of the branch in shock. "God, Shippou! Don't go popping out of no where like that!"
"Miroku and Sango just told me that you can't lie anymore." Shippou said.
"Yeah? What of it?" Inu Yasha asked.
Shippou frowned at his rude comment then he got an idea.
Inu Yasha notice the sudden change of emotion so asked, "What?"
Shippou smiled and asked, "Inu Yasha, have you ever tried to ride Kagome's bike."
"Many times. But the stupid thing keeps falling over." He said without thinking. Inu Yasha's eyes widened, because any other time he wouldn't have admitted it so easily.
Shippou's smile grew as he asked, "Have you ever been to school outside of fighting?"
And Inu Yasha said again without choice, "How do you think I learned how to read and write?"
Sumiko watched Shio who was sitting next to Kagome. She was checking the hotplate and the water pressure; he sat next to her examining all of the neat things that came from her time. He leaned forward on his knees with interest, eyes wide almost looking innocent like a child and smiling with curiosity. Raising the blade of grass to her mouth, Sumiko ran her tongue up the length of it's broad side.
Shio blinked and continued to smile. Kagome turned to him and asked, "Shio, could you hand me those cups over there?"
"Sure, Kagome." He gave her the cups and she put little bags into each of them. Sumiko blinked, slightly shocked. Nothing happened. She licked the blade of grass again. Shio didn't even flinch. She licked the blade three more times. Nothing.
Why? Why doesn't he submit?? She thought as she watched him. Shio handed something to Kagome and wiggled his eyebrows at her. She blushed uncomfortably and went tried to ignore it.
Sumiko sighed. Of course, he's messed with his horomones so much that no one can touch them, he has built up an immunity to this spell that way, she thought. Well that plan blows, She sat down and tried to think of a new plan.
"Do you like Kagome?"
"Yes!"
Sumiko's ears twitched. She looked up at where Inu Yasha was walking off while being closely followed by Shippou. She leapt into the trees above and followed while listening.
"Do you think Kagome's pretty?" Shippou asked with a big smile.
"Yes." Inu Yasha looked annoyed and embarrassed.
"Do you wanna kiss her?" Shippou asked.
"Yes,"
"Why don't you?"
"Cause she scares me." Inu Yasha jumped on Shippou like he was a hostage that needed to be silenced. "If you tell anyone, I'll rip every tooth out of your mouth and make a necklace out of them!!"
Shippou gulped and nodded in fear of becoming toothless. It was then that Sumiko got her new plan. She got back to camp before anyone noticed she was gone.
- - -
Four blades of grass lay in front of Sumiko's knees. The names Kagome, Sango, Inu Yasha, and Miroku were neatly printed on each blade in ink. She put her hands down on top of them and started to chant:
"Mind waves obey
Concious desist
Don't try to fight
You cannot resist
Shio the fogdog has willpower it's true
But most of his influence comes from his friends and Inu
Deep beyond the depths of modesty doth lye
The testosterone and estrogen that puts girl with guy
Come forth arousal! Hormones abound!
And show the hidden natures of the humans and hound!"
The blades of grass gave off a strange incandescent glow for a brief moment before returning to their normal state. At least, they appeared normal. They were filled with mind controlling magic.
"Tea's done!" Kagome called as she poured hot water into each cup. The characters started to gather around. Sumiko put her blades of grass into her kimono and came to sit next to Kagome.
The school girl blew the top of Sumiko's cup before holding it out to her. "Be careful! It's very hot."
Sumiko nodded and took the cup in her hands blowing across the top herself. She noticed that everyone seemed to be watching her, but she was good at not acting like she wasn't hiding anything. She smiled at Kagome, with her catshaped mischievous eyes. "Delicious tea, Kagome-chan. Is it from your time period?"
"Uh, yeah!" Kagome said smiling for a second. "Um, Sumiko?"
Sumiko moved her eyes to look at her as she took another sip of her tea. "Are you sure your feeling better?"
"Kagome-chan, that is a thing of the past. Don't worry about it anymore. Worrying gives one wrinkles, and Inu Yasha would deffinately not be pleased with that." Sumiko said casually.
"Huh???" Inu Yasha said as Shio snickered. "I don't-I like her for who she is! Not how she looks! Though her legs are nice.." Inu Yasha covered his mouth and ducked his head in mortification.
Everyone stared and smiled. Kagome looked off to the side, blushed and took a sip of her tea. Sumiko plucked one of the blades of grass out of her kimono. The name, "Miroku" was written neatly across it. She licked the broad side.
"BWA!! HENTAI!!" Sango screamed and slapped Miroku across the face.
Sumiko grinned showing a couple of fangs. She licked another blade of grass that said "Sango".
Miroku jumped as the tables turned, "Oh, so I'm a hentai?"
Sango realized where her hand was and pulled it away quickly. "Eep! I didn't!"
Sumiko drew the Inu Yasha blade of grass.
"Inu Yasha, can you get me some of those pink sugar packets? They're over by you." Kagome said.
Sumiko licked the blade of grass.
"Sure thing, honey." Inu Yasha said and his eyes grew wide and he blushed again.
"Uh…thanks." Kagome said, taking the packets, with a light pink glow on her cheeks.
Sumiko licked the fourth blade.
Kagome glanced up at Inu Yasha and blushed more.
Sumiko licked the blade a second time.
Kagome shivered and felt her heart beating faster.
Shio smiled at the way his stupid friends were acting.
Hmm…not enough to turn ya on, big boy? Sumiko thought with a smug smirk. Sumiko licked one of the blades again.
Kagome gasped and leaned forward slightly.
Shippou ran over to her. "Kagome, are you okay??" he asked worriedly.
Kagome sat there breathing heavily. "I'm fine, Shippou."
Sumiko took a lick.
"OOH!!" Kagome jumped a little and cried out. Inu Yasha, who sat next to her said. "Quick acting like your having a seizure, Kagome! It's weird!"
Sumiko licked the blade.
Kagome's hand shot out fast and grabbed the shortest appendage on Inu Yasha's body if you understand what that means. ^.~
Inu Yasha's eyes grew wider then his hands. He dropped his teacup and turned bright red.
Sango covered Shippou's eyes, because he was way to young for a sight like that, and he struggled to free himself from her. "Lemme go! I wanna see!!"
Miroku's eyes got big and he bit his knuckles excitedly.
Shio's eyes grew wide too. This was like live porn or something!
Inu Yasha leaned forward somewhat. He wasn't a virgin….but DAMN..!! He squinted at her and said in a strange low voice, "K-Kago-me?"
She was breathing loud and deeply. Then she tightened her grip some and Inu Yasha leaned forward again and groaned. After a few seconds, she let go and threw herself back. She sat whipping the sweat from her face. And looked around not sure what to say to the rest of the group in which 75% of them were aroused.
"JEZE, Kagome!" Sango said, letting go of Shippou. "Get a room next time, or something!"
