Heh... I like this song... It's my Life, by Bon Jovi... I know, it's an old
song, but it is the radio, so there. Hey, looks like I have enough time to
update. YAY!! *starts to type erratically*
Oh, and I do not have a spell check, so if I have typos, sorry, I'm trying
to check for mistakes...^^
Chapter uh.... let's just call it The Next Chapter. Gotta get my memory
checked....-_-;;;
Naraku popped his head out of the well, finding himself in a dark room.
"Naraku... could you get off my head?" Kohaku complained, trying to push the hanyou up.
Naraku jumped out of the well, and peered in, making sure that everyone had been transported safely. Kagura was trying to claw her way up the dirt wall, while Kanna observed her with a placid look.
Fianlly getting an idea, Kagura whipped out one of the two feathers adorning her hair, and threw it into the air. A large feather appeared, squashing everybody in the well. NAraku chuckled at the actions of his servants, and looked around the room. There were shelves with various boxes, and piles of old ofuda. He walked to a nearby set of steps, and sat down, waiting for the others to figure out how to get out.
"Hey, Kagome, do you hear something?" Souta said, walking to the door. He peered out into the darkness, towards the wellhouse, but couldn't see anything.
"There isn't anything out there, Souta-kun..." she said, tousling his hair. "You're being paranoid. How about you go talk to Sesshoumaru-sama? He is a youkai, you know, stronger than Inuyasha..." she said, shooing her brother away.
"I heard that!!" Inuyasha hollered from the next room, making her chuckle.
"I beg your pardon, brother, but she is right in this case.." she heard Sesshoumaru reply.
"Oh yeah? Who says?" Inuyasha retorted, louder than before.
"Uh-oh... I had better make sure that doesn't escalate...." Kagome said, sighing. Apart from introducing everyone, most of her evening had been spent keeping those two away from eachother's throats.
She walked into the room, and stood there, mouth gaping wide open. Inuyasha had Tetsusaiga drawn, and was aiming it at Sesshoumaru's forehead. Sesshoumaru was staring Inuyasha down over the sword, scowling.
"I do not think it is wise to shed blood here, when Kagome-san has so generously invited us..." Sesshoumaru said cooly. Rin was clinging to Inuyasha's leg, trying her best to get him away from Sesshoumaru, so that Inuyasha wouldn't hurt him. Between her cries of, "No! Don't hurt Sesshoumaru-sama!", and her jii-san's declaration of "Evil youkai, be banished!" were beginning to give her a headache.
Eyes gaining fire with each further phrase, Kagome snapped.
"Everyone stop!!!!!" she shouted, and everyone froze.
Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Souta all backed away into an adjacent room. Kagome's jii-san stopped slapping ofuda on everything deemed 'evil', and even Buyo looked at her.
"Inuyasha." she said, seeking out her first victim.
"But..Kagome...he started i-" he stuttered, but was cut off.
"I don't care WHO started it! You KNOW you are not permitted to fight IN THIS HOUSE! OSUWAAARRRRIIII!!!" she screeched, sending Inuyasha plummeting into the floor.
"Jii-san," she said, giving her grandfather the 'evil eye'.
"Hai, Kagome?" he said, hiding the ofuda behind his back sheepishly.
"Give it to me..." she said, putting out her hand.
He handed her the ofuda, muttering about 'unappreciated protection from murdering spirits'.
"You know the rules about ofuda in the house, jii-san..." she scolded, watching him go into the living room.
"And Sesshoumaru," she said, giving a less confident stare to the tai- youkai.
"I was not at fault. I would appreciate it, and I bet that you would as well, if Inuyasha would respect your wishes." he said, staring right back at her.
Kagome faltered, underestimating his boldness. We all know that she is probably used to everyone cowering under her stare...(^^)
"Yeah.... just try to not... provoke him, okay?" she asked timidly, moving back from a now acid-glare. (excuse the pun.. 9.9) (innocent look...)
Naraku stepped outside of the wellhouse, followed by his minions. Kagura stared opened-mouthed at the disappearance of the forest, while Kohaku looked in awe at the houses all in a row.
(that is from a poem, but I can't remember which,....)
Kanna just observed in complete silence, appearing unfazed. Naraku boldly stepped foward, towards Kagome's house. Picking up a mechanical sprinkler system, he examined it suspiciously.
"Kanna. What is this for? Do you have any knowledge of it?" he said, turning to his eldest minion.
(yes, Kanna IS older... don't bother arguing... go look it up if you don't believe me...)
"I will gather information from a nearby human." she said, turning to the house where Kagomes' neighbors lived.
She turned, eyes glowing slightly. "This is a device created to keep gardens and small fields of grass properly irrigated. It is called a sprinkler." she finished, looking at the object in question.
She walked over to the side of the house, where the water hose protruded. "This is where it may be put to use," she said, turning the water on. Naraku, Kohaku, and Kagura all got sprayed by the blast out of the hose, and Naraku promptly threw it into the air.
Dripping wet, Naraku walked up to Kanna, and turned off the water. Kagura glared at her sister, and Kohaku just laughed.
Taking out her fan, Kagura sent out a few gusts of wind, effectively drying herslef off. The others went without the makeshift dryer, under the retort of "Get your own fan..."
Naraku glared at the rebellious kaze-youkai, and turned back towards the house. Sopping wet, he noticed a small pile of rocks on the ground, he picked one up. They left a black, powdery substance on his fingers, which he looked at with disdain.
"That is called a charcoal fire-starter. The powder is highly removable, so mobile, that it will fly off at the slightest breath of air. It may cause..." Kanna began.
"ATTTCCHHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Mild alergic conditions..." she finished, looking at Naraku, who along with Kohaku was covered in charcoal from the pile. Kagura was spared this treatment, directing the soot away with her fan.
Naraku growled, throwing the charcoal back down. Kohaku coughed, letting out a little cloud of soot. Kagura smirked, the cleanest of the four.
She went over to a small toy car, and examined it. Poking it with her fan, she shrieked when is started.
Running over to Naraku, she hid behind him as the car sped around in circles. It headed for the both of them, splashing them with mud, newly created by the sprinkler.
Kagome, having heard the whir of Souta's toy automobile, called everyone to the kitchen to investigate. She opened the door, and stared.
Naraku was standing there, hair wet, face covered in black soot, and zubon pants splattered with mud. Behind him, stood Kohaku, soaking with water and soot. Kagura was there, covered in mud. Kanna stood behind them, the only one not afflicted by dirtyness. The toy car spun aroud wildly in the yard, and there was a giant mud pulddle in the grass.
"What in the world is going on??" Kagome said, shocked.
