Disclaimer: I do not own either of the two stories this is based
upon...otherwise would it be called fanfiction?
(Sesshoumaru enters. Yura can be heard singing. Her tower rolls into view.)
Sesshoumaru: And so the hanyou continued his search for the cap as red as blood.
(Kaede enters)
Sesshoumaru: As for Yura, Kaede was careful not to lose this beauty to the outside world and so shut her up within a doorless tower that lay deep within the forest. And when the old enchantress paid a visit, she called forth:
(Sesshoumaru exits as Kaede crosses to Yura's tower. Kouga appears behind a tree and stays to watch)
Kaede: Yura. Yura. Let down the hair to me.
(Yura stops singing and blond hair descends. Kaede climbs up, struggling as Yura leans forward in pain. Kouga comes from around a tree)
Kouga: (to himself) Yura, Yura. What a strange name. Strange but beautiful and fit for a prince! Tomorrow, before that horrible witch arrives, I will stand before her window and ask her to let down her hair to me.
(Inuyasha steps into Shippou's path; the boy is eating a sweet as he enters)
Inuyasha: Hello there, little one.
Shippou: Hello.
Inuyasha: Have you saved some of those sweets for Grandpa?
(Inuyasha reaches out longingly to Shippou's hat)
Shippou: I ate all of the sweets, and half the loaf of bread.
Inuyasha: Where did you get that beautiful cap? I so admire it.
Shippou: My Grandda bought it for me.
Inuyasha: Is that right? I would love a red hat like that.
(he examines the cap)
Shippou: You'd look pretty foolish.
(Inuyasha goes to him and takes the cap)
Inuyasha: May I take a look at it?
Shippou: I don't like to be without my cap. I might have hat-hair! Please give it back!
Inuyasha: (frustrated) I want it badly.
Shippou: Give it back please.
Kaede's Voice: Forget the little boy and get the cap!
(Inuyasha suddenly dashes away with the cap in his hands. Shippou stands numb for a moment, then lets out a blood-curdling scream, followed by hysterical weeping)
(Inuyasha returns with the hat and places it on Shippou's head.)
Inuyasha: I just wanted to make certain that you really loved this cap. Now you go to your Grandda's...and you be careful that no wolf comes your way.
Shippou: I'd rather a wolf than you, any day.
(He stomps Inuyasha's foot and exits.)
Inuyasha: (in pain) If you know what you need, then you go and you find it and you take it. Do I want a child or not? It's a hat, what's a hat? It's a laugh, it's a stupid little hat, and a hat is what you make it.
(Inuyasha nods, having convinced himself. A.N.: doesn't take much...ne?)
So you take it. (with resolve) Things are only what you need them for, what's important is who needs them more
(Inuyasha exits, Sesshoumaru enters.)
Sesshoumaru: And so Inuyasha, with new-found determination, went after the red cap. As for the little boy, he was surprised to find his grandfather's cottage door standing open.
(We see Myouga's cottage with Miroku [as a wolf], dressed as Myouga, in bed, covers up and hands near his mouth. the walls of the cottage are made of scrim. Shippou enters)
Shippou: (to himself) Oh dear. How uneasy I feel. Perhaps it's all the sweets. (towards the bed) Good day, Grandfather. (moves to the bed) My, Grandfather, you're looking very strange. What big ears you have!
Miroku: The better to hear you with, my dear.
Shippou: But Grandfather, what big eyes you have!
Miroku: The better to see you with, my dear.
Shippou: But Grandfather, what large hands you have!
Miroku: The better to hug you with, my dear.
Shippou: Hugs?
(Miroku shrugs.)
Shippou: Oh, Grandfather. What a terrible, big, wet mouth you have!
Miroku: The better to eat you with!
(Bloodcurdling scream from Shippou, who disappears)
Sesshoumaru: And scarcely had Miroku said this, then with a single bound he was devouring the little boy. Well it was a full day of eating for the both. And with his appetite appeased, Miroku took to bed for a nice long nap.
(Miroku snoring, Inuyasha appears outside cottage. Sesshoumaru exits)
Inuyasha: That Grandfather has a mighty snore.
(he goes up to the window and looks in.)
Inuyasha: Odd. Where is the little one? Eating no doubt.
(as he turns to walk away, Miroku belches. Inuyasha suddenly stops)
Inuyasha: Or eaten!
(Inuyasha timidly enters the house, his claws held in from of him. He lets out a yelp when he sees Miroku [still as a wolf].)
Inuyasha: Grandfather, ha!
(Inuyasha reaches claws out then stops.) Inuyasha: What is that red cloth in the corner of your mouth? Looks to me to be a piece of...ah ha! I'll get that cap from within your stomach.
(He slits Miroku's stomach, then recoils in disgust.) (Shippou steps out of Miroku's stomach, very bloody)
Shippou: What a fright! How dark and dank it was inside that wolf.
(Myouga emerges from Miroku's stomach, also bloodied)
Myouga: (wheezing, tries to strangle Miroku, who reacts in pain) Kill the devil. Take your claws and cut his evil head off. Let's see the demon (beg pardon) sliced into a thousand bits. Better yet, let the animal die a painful, agonizing, hideous death.
Shipppou: (Shocked) GRANDDA!
Myouga: Quiet, child. This evil must be destroyed. Fetch me some great stones! We'll fill his belly with them, then we'll watch him try to run away!
Inuyasha: (faint) Well, I will leave you to your task.
Myouga: Don't ya want the skins?
Inuyasha: No. No. You keep them.
Myouga: What kind of hanyou are you?
Inuyasha: I'm a baker!
(Myouga pulls him into the house as Shippou walks downstage.)
