Hello, everyone!!!!! I've been inspired! Ok, not really, but I've FINALLY
decided to write more.
Wanna know why? Because Cartoon Network went all nice on us and gave us back our precious... um... "Mutt Face" as Kouga would say... I'm v. happy that my puppy is back on Adult Swim... Actually, Miroku is my favorite character but he's a boring old human... Actually, the Birds of Paradise were cool too, but then they went and sliced Kouga's arm open for that shard... It just wasn't nice... Evil Pigeons From Hell...
Anywho...

"Anna, why don't you ever do anything?"
"I do things that are important to me. Just because they don't involve much physical effort doesn't mean they aren't good for you."
"Reading? How is that good for you?"
"It increases creativity, for one."
"What kind of name is Anna, anyway?"
"It's short for Annabel Lee. My parents, like me, were fans of Edgar Allen Poe."
"Who?"
"He's a writer. Here. Read this." She handed him a book open to the poem "Annabel Lee"
"I don't like it." Inuyasha said after a long pause.
"Why not?"
"Because you died."
"It's not about me. It's about Poe's wife. I was named after her. Read this one." She turned over to "For Annie."
"This is better. No one gets sick and dies. He gets cured."
"He wasn't really sick, Inuyasha. It was a metaphor."
"What's that?"
"It's figurative. Its saying something is something that it's obviously not."
"Why would you do that?"
"It's a way of comparing things. Like when you call Kagome a bitch. You're not actually thinking that she really is a dog. But you call her that anyway because you are comparing her to a dog. It's the same as Poe saying that he was sick, when really he basically had a sucky life. She didn't actually cure him. She just made him very, very happy."
"I still don't know. What kind of name is Annabel Lee?"
"Well, it doesn't sound quite so strange where I'm from. There people would think your name was funny."
"Where are you from?"
"America."
"Where is this 'Am-ir-ka'?" He asked, stumbling over the word.
"It's across the ocean."
"I didn't know there was anything over there."
"There is."
"So they would think my name is funny?"
"Well, not really funny, but different. Maybe exotically beautiful, but different."
"Well, Annabel is just weird. It's not 'exotically beautiful' or anything. It's just stupid."
"Gee, thanks! Maybe I think you have a dumb name, too!" And she stormed off.
Hmm... Well, at least they talked for a LITTLE while this time...

~*TBC*~
Ok, I know I didn't write about Kagome/Sesshoumaru this chapter, but I will next time... I'm having trouble. The inspiration bunnies ran away from this story and into "Where the Broken Heart Still Beats."
Sorries.
Help would be good.
Much Love,
Jean
