Disclaimer: This is MY story. I came up with it. MINE! With the exception of a few characters... I guess...
Authors note: I'm soooooo sorry, this is late. I tried to write it sooner, (I'd be lying if I told you I didn't have any time... hehehe) the words just wouldn't come to me. *sniff* It was tragic. Anyways, I think you'll find this chapter a little more amusing that the past few. I laughed so hard writing this one. I hope you'll review.
Oh! And here's some more incentive to review! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! I'd give you my age, but I think it'd shock you... *sigh* I'm ancient... aaaaaaaahhhhh.... hehehehe. Anyways, if you review, it'd be the perfect present. ;) YAY!
Feliz Cumpleaños para mi (Happy Birthday to me).... hehehe
Chapter eight
Throughout the day, Aki worked among the villagers in fake peace. Presently she found herself among a small group of girls, laughing and chatting away, on the soft grass, a little ways away from the village. Someone had just said a joke, and as if on cue Aki allowed a faked laugh, "Let them believe that I have nothing to hide..." she thought. One girl, whose name was Hitomi, had been the one kind enough to give Aki her old kimono. Hitomi was easily the most noticeable girl in the bunch. She was loud and obnoxious, with a permanent smile on her face, complimenting her freckled nose, and bid dewy eyes. Even her hair had a bounce to it, being wavy, she kept it down the length of her back.
"Satomi, do tell us where you come from!" Her request came from out of the blue, as all of her conversation topics. Every one else nodded with anticipation. Aki snapped out of her laughing and looked at this girl carefully, "I don't think..." but whatever Aki has thought no one would ever know as she was cut off almost immediately, "Don't think! Tell!" came Hitomi's voice. Again, nods of agreements. Aki grimaced, "I think she has a gang..." as she looked onward to the group, "damn, I haven't thought of a lie... oh! Where's uncle Miroku when you need him!" she thought angrily... Meanwhile, the group of girls continued to encourage her for her story, asking silly questions, then nodding in agreement with each other.
Aki was just thinking the last part of her lie when...
"It was a man wasn't it!" Hitomi said, and cheered when Aki's horrified facade confirmed her theory.
"Well... no... n-nothing... like..." Aki stuttered.
"Ah... oh! I am right!" Hitomi cheered, clapping her hands together in triumph. Then in the blink of an eye, Hitomi's cheery disposition changed, from giddy to... "What did he do!" she demanded, probably thinking the worst.
"...."
"A jerk? Of course." Hitomi nodded, then with a dramatic sigh her lowered her voice to a mere whisper, making the other girls lean in closer to hear. Aki, however, with her hearing as good as her fathers, remained slumped where she was, almost too dumbfounded to move. Hitomi ignored her, and went off onto her own interpretation of Aki's plight. "Surely, he must have been watching you from afar, with a heavy heart. Having being smitten with the demoness. But then. Alas, he realised... A lord! Yes." nods. "He realised he couldn't have her and tried to take her." gasps. "Yes. But she proved too strong for his lecherous forces." cheers. "The Lord would have been furious of course." nods. "Then!" the girls moved in closer, the whole group had their noses barely an inch apart. Hitomi allowed a theatrical silence, as her audience hung to her every word. "He waited until she was bathing." oh no! "And stole her clothes and stashed them away, thinking she would not run from him, knowing how modest a maiden would be in such a situation." gasps. "No, but she was better than that!" what did she do? "She ran, better to forget modesty than give in to his lecherous desires!" nods. "Then she came to us, in sheer desperation, where good people wouldn't take advantage of any maiden in her plight!"
With her monologue completed, Hitomi slapped her hands together as if closing a book. A pregnant silence followed as all the girls tore themselves away from Hitomi and looked at Aki with tearful eyes.
"......" Aki was at a loss for words, and all she could do was work her jaw, and gape like a fish out of water.
"Oh! I was right!" Hitomi cried before flinging herself onto Aki, into a big embrace. "How cruel men are!" The rest of the girls came in and began to pat Aki on the back reassuringly... a few were crying.
"......."
"But! Not to worry! We'll take good care of you!" Hitomi promised as she jumped up practically pushing all of the girls backwards.
"Oh... how did I get into this... where are they when you need them?" Aki thought nervously and the girls continued to encourage her to let her guard down and let it all out. And if Aki was capable of motor function, she would have laughed herself blue.
Yes, indeed... where were they?
~~~~~~~~~~~Not far away on the other side of the village~~~~~~~~~~
Miroku looked onwards as he gazed pensively onto the peaceful village. If he was tired he ignored it. Suddenly he turned and faced his sleepy comrades. Sango and Kagome were there glaring holes into Inuyasha's skull, who held his hands up defensively. Shippo and Kirara, however, were off in dreamland, curled up in the base of a tree.
"Oi! I smell... a demon! Honestly wench, something happened here!" Inuyasha cried defensively, Kagome twitched, but said nothing.
Miroku would intervene but he was enjoying the act a little too much at the moment.
"Feh. There's a demon here and..."
"Nothing happened." Kagome whispered. Making the hanyou flinch. Miroku grinned, as he anticipated many sits to follow... but they never came. Instead Kagome turned on her heel, grabbed Sango by the elbow and began to march down to the village.
"Oi! Wench! We don't have time to visit! We have to get moving!" Inuyasha protested and he leapt forward to intercept the girls... he didn't get very far...
"SSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
BBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And without further ado, Kagome and Sango left Inuyasha to eat dirt and they approached the village, for their long awaited slumber.
Miroku watched them go with glee. And soon sauntered off in the direction of Inuyasha's self made crater. "Serves you right for..." "Mmmmf" Inuyasha muffled response cut his comrade off.
"What?" Miroku asked, not being able to decipher Inuyasha's mumblimgs. So, leaning over, Miroku grabbed the back of Inuyasha's hair to lift his face out of the ground.
"What did you say?" he asked again.
"I smell ramen..."
"......."
Inuyasha, having begun to regain control of his upper body, propped himself up onto his elbows. Oblivious to Miroku's blank stare Inuyasha began sniffing the air, trying to get another whiff of his favourite dish.
"Err... Inuyasha? Perhaps your collision into the dirt has affected your senses?"
"What are you gettin' at monk!" came Inuyasha's heated response "I know my nose, there's ramen here... damn that Kagome... she was probably hiding it from me..." snorting, Inuyasha began to shift lightly as he felt the spell wear off of his lower body. "Feh, I'll find it... heh." and without further ado, he jumped up out of his flattened form to a proper crouch, nose to ground in dog like fashion, he then proceeded to sniff the area with vigour.
Thump.
"Kyaaa! What was that for!?!?!?!"
Miroku, however, kept his unperturbed stance, and steady gaze downwards, while keeping a firm hold of his staff. "Inuyasha, listen to yourself! Leave Lady Kagome alone. We are all tired. There is no ramen."
"Feh, I know what I'm talking about lech. Heh, you're just a weak human. Go sleep. I don't care."
Miroku stifled a sigh, and shook his head dramatically, "Very well." And without further ado, he followed Kagome's and Sango's footsteps towards the village, however, not before he picked up a comatose Kirara and Shippo, and carrying them with him.
"Stupid monk." mumbled a deflated Inuyasha, "There is ramen here..."
And so, Inuyasha continued his desperate search through the foliage, "Damn, Kagome hid it really well this time!" he thought, nevertheless, that wasn't something he'd readily admit out loud.
Authors note: hehehe... Aki would be pretty upset if Inuyasha found her ramen stash, don't you think? I really hope this was a more... uplifting chapter.
Oh! About the last chapter: yes, I know it was a pitiful way to go, but think about it. If he's human he can't continue to do his superhero stunts (Well, not as well...). Even the strongest and most agile man on earth would find it difficult to survive such an accident. I guess, we're all so used to Inuyasha being invincible, but for the purposes of this story he can't be. I'm sorry if you think he deserved a more... elaborate way to go... but I'd rather not dwell on it and make it quick.
Ok, I have to go. Please review! Think of it as a birthday present for me! hehehe. Oh. Someone asked for my email a while back. My email is gata_angel@hotmail.com. I don't check it often, but there you go. ;) chaooooooooo! (byeeeeeeeee!)
