Disclaimer: If I owned him... I think it would be a hentai manga/anime.. but I don't so it isn't.. except in my head!
words mean that they are speaking in Tashu
Living a Nightmare
Chapter 3 - A Little Background
Yosura sighed. She had managed to get the two stubborn teenagers into this small sitting room with her, but they were either ignoring each other or yelling insults at the top of their lungs. She figured that in order to tell them why they'd been removed from their home world and brought to Tarashu, they had to be at least listening to her - something that she didn't think would be too likely to happen anytime soon. Yosura rubbed her forehead, sighing again. The normally very patient and imperturbable woman felt like tying someone up just to hear someone be more uncomfortable than she was.
"Will you both be quiet? You are giving me a headache, and I'm sure you want to know why you are here," She said, trying to defuse the current stalemate in which they were insulting each others choice in boy/girl friend.
"He started it!" Kagome said, huffing.
"Like hell I did, bitch!" Inu-Yasha shot back, glaring daggers at anything and everything in the room.
"Ushi-itome!" Yosura said, out of patience. When she was satisfied that the spell had taken hold, she spoke again. "Now then. The both of you are testing my patience, and for the moment, you will be silent. You have no choice in the matter. Now," She took a deep breath, ignoring the fact that both teenagers were glaring at her with looks that promised death, and relaxed her shoulders, "I will tell you why you were brought here."
'Why we were brought here?' Kagome wondered. 'Isn't this just a dream, and I'm really sleeping quietly on the floor in the kitchen?'
Inu-Yasha glared, just wanting away from these annoying creatures called women. Yosura looked at them and sighed. 'Really, they are so immature. Hopefully, what they must do to save our world will make them grow up.'
"Really, it started about five hundred winters ago. That is when the first signs of the great evil that we are even now fighting against turned up. Our world is in grave danger. If it is not saved, then we shall all die with it. When the evil showed up, so to did an ancient prophecy with an even older spell along it's margins. This prophecy pertains to the ones who shall save our world from destruction - you.
"It reads: As evil shakes the foundation and hearth of Tarashu
so shall be born a fated two
to whom shall be given the ancient powers
in order to fell the evil tower
together they come, together they go
but they cannot leave with nothing to show."
Inu-yasha looked at Yosura blankly, while Kagome tried to figure out what it meant. Kagome always thought best out loud, so she was having a hard time. Inu-Yasha could really care less - he wanted to get out of this mad house and back to his own organized mess of a room on Earth, with no freaky women, no gibberish languages, and most of all, no Kagome. Yosura looked at them, seeing Inu-Yasha's bored expression, and Kagome's deep in thought one.
"Please. Save Tarashu." She said simply, and removed the spell. Kagome began muttering to herself, and Inu-Yasha said 'keh' just to see if his voice really worked again. Once he was reassured that it did, he fixed an angry scowl on Yosura.
"What's in it for us?" He asked, arms folded.
"Ano..?" Yosura looked confused.
"What do we get out of it? And hell - can't you find some other people to do this and send us back home? We ain't fuckin' RPG characters!"
"We could try and find some other people to do it.. But you would still be stuck here."
"Nani?"
"She means that they don't know how to send us back, Inu-Yasha. That's what the last part of that prophecy means. We can't return home until we have something to show for ourselves - in this case, saving the world of Tarashu."
"But that's stupid!"
"Everything is stupid to the stupid, idiot."
"Oh shut up. What I meant was, How the freaking hell are we supposed to save a fucking world when we have no fucking 'powers'?" You could tell that he was pissed. Kagome sighed.
"Watch your bloody language, jackass." She said, glaring. "Who knows? I say we do it, or at least try. You can't, after all, judge a book by it's covers."
"What the fuck? How did we get to books from 'saving the world'?"
"Oh, I don't know.. Maybe there's a bloody manual to tell us how in the bloody hell we're supposed to save Tarashu!"
"Now who's forgetting to watch their language?" Inu-Yasha taunted.
"I -can- give you a black eye, you egotistical bastard."
"Go ahead and try, you brain dead bitch." Inu-Yasha smirked at her. (A/N: ok, so that would have been a better insult for the walking dead, Kikyo, but oh well..)
"I can -also- break your nose for you. Now that I think about it, that would really improve your looks."
"You wanna see ugly, go look in a mirror, bitch."
"Make me, jerk face."
"Excuse me. As fascinating as this is," Yosura scowled, "Could I get a straight answer or am I going to have to dig it out of your sorry hides?"
"I'll do it."
"Keh. I just wanna go home." Both females correctly interpreted this as acquiescence, and rolled their eyes at him. Just then a young maid came into the room, carrying a tray of snacks and some tea. She set it down on a low table, bowed, and left the room. Kagome picked up a small sandwich type thing and bit into it. Deciding that they were pretty good, she finished it off and took another. The rest of the evening was spent in talking, arguing, eating and getting lost in the palace and having to have a guard fetch Yosura so that she could guide them to their rooms. Yosura decided, as she finally got back to bed, that these strange teenagers from the world of 'Earth' could easily be the death of her.
'Lady Yosura said that she would teach me how to use magic.. I wonder if I can really use magic? This might be cool..' Kagome thought, drifting off to sleep. Inu-Yasha's thoughts weren't so sanguine.
'Damnit to hell! I am not going to take sword lessons from some kid just because I don't know how to use a sword!' He fell asleep with a scowl on his face.
Things weren't looking up for the misplaced teenagers from Tokyo, Japan.

well, there's the third chapter.. next chapter, The Adventure Begins! as always, let me know what you think, and whether I'm keeping them in character or not.. er.. scratch that.. Kagome doesn't normally swear this much, even in the Jap subbed version. oh well.. hehe, maybe I'll have the next chapter done before the internet decides to work, too.. sometimes, I really hate our ISP... R&R onegai and I -know- the prophecy is really cheesy.. but aren't alot of prophecy's? lol:D
