Ch. 15 Cupid Struck My Heart!
(Friday the 13th a.k.a. Bad luck day)
It's been 2 months of hard preparation. The Valentine's Day Festival is tomorrow. The people who are gonna be in the play are Miroku, Sango InuYasha, Kagome, Souta, Kouga, Kagome's mom, InuYasha's dad, Joey, and Sapphire. Miroku is a young duke of Kyoto named Hizu, Sango is a maid named Anata, Kagome is a maid named Shinzui, InuYasha is the prince charming named Jin, Souta is Cupid, Kouga is the young duke of Tokyo named Ichiro, Ms. Higurashi is the queen of humans Shika, Inu's dad is the king of demons Izumu, Sapphire is the princess named Kikyo, and Joey is the Narrator and any extra servant. It's too long of a story to tell how they all got their parts so just go along with me here.
(walking to Kagome's Shrine from a café at 5:30 p.m.)
"Ah. Nothing left to do but help decorate. I'm so glad that practice is finally over!" Sango said.
"Me too Sango. Even though I can't wait for the actually play tomorrow. I'm quite intrigued by our part in the play!" Miroku said.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well, we get to have children in the play right?" Miroku said smiling.
"Yeah that's part of........................... YOU PERVERT!!! HENTAI!!!"
"Do you ever think that those two will ever get along for 5 minutes?" InuYasha asked.
"Maybe, maybe not." Kagome sighed.
"Well at least we get to have a regular day and just hang out." InuYasha trailed off.
"Yeah......... Hey InuYasha, you seem kinda weird lately. Is something up? If you don't want to you don't have to tell me though."
"It's nothing really." He replied. "I was just thinking."
"About what?" Kagome asked.
"Well I've never really given much thought about this before, but.........well......"
"What?"
"Valentine's Day........."
"You don't like Valentine's Day InuYasha?"
"It's okay......... but it's kinda too mushy for me ya know."
"Well I couldn't be shocked even if I wanted to be on that one." Kagome laughed.
"Heh. You know me well."
"Yup guess so. Hey we're here!"
"Hurry up you guys! What's taking you!?" Sango yelled back dragging the unconscious teen houshi up the shrine stairs.
"Coming! Come on InuYaSHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
InuYasha picked Kagome up and ran off with her.
"InuYasha!!!? Where are you taking her!!!?" Sango yelled worriedly as she dropped Miroku, and tried to run after him. "He might not be himself again! INUYASHA BRING KAGOME BACK!! NOOOOOW!!!!"
But it was too late. InuYasha and Kagome were out of sight and Sango didn't know where he was taking her best friend.
"I gotta tell you something Kagome. The truth about me......... and you too. I've been holding this in ever since the concert. I can't bear too see you worry about me all the time. It's like this........." He stops and puts Kagome down.
o0.0o 'He didn't call me Kago? But he does it all the time now. He never uses my full name anymore unless something's wrong...' She thought. "What's going on InuYasha? Why are you acting so worried?"
"Because...... it hurts me to see you worried all the time. You may try to act happy but I see the way you look sometimes. It's me...... isn't it Kagome?"
"What ever gave you that idea you baka!!? I don't care if I worry!! At least I have other people TO worry about!! What ever you wanted to tell me just save it!"
"Kagome......I......"
"Save it!! It's bad enough you're not using my nickname! Just take me home now or I'll use the 's' word!"
"*sigh* Fine........."
InuYasha picked Kagome up and ran to the shrine. They met up with Sango and the finally awake Miroku who greeted them with stuff like: "What happened?!" "Are you okay Kagome?!" "InuYasha, why did you do that!?" Questions that remained unanswered. Kagome just told them to start decorating before it got too late. It was around 6 p.m. and they wanted to get the decorations up before it got too dark. For the rest of the time they stayed there InuYasha and Kagome didn't speak to each other. They would just look at each other for a couple of seconds until they realize that they're staring, quickly turn away and continue to decorate.
"Wow you guys!!! I'm impressed!" Ms. Higurashi smiled.
"It was our pleasure Ms. Higurashi. Thank you for giving us a part in your play." Miroku said.
"Anything for Kagome's friends." She replied. "Now go home and get lots of rest for the big night tomorrow. We need to be at our best tomorrow."
"Mata Ashita!" Inu, Mir, and San, yelled running off.
"INUYASHA!!" Kagome yelled running to him. He stopped and turned around. "I'm sorry for being so mean earlier. I should of let you say what was on your mind.......will you forgive me?"
".........Feh." He replied and darted off.
"I'll take that as a yes." She smiled.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
OPENING NIGHT OF THE VALENTINE'S DAY FESTIVAL PLAY
People were having a lot of fun. With all the heart lights hanging, candy stands, kissing screens so people could make out in privacy (hahaha), and things like that. The Higurashi Shrine Valentine's Day Festival was a huge hit. The money was just flying in! The huge stage was set! And now for the moment you've all been waiting for. The Play!!!
"Ladies and gentlemen, the play Cupid Struck my Heart will begin shortly." Ms Higurashi announced and went backstage. "Is everyone ready and in costume?"
"Yes." They all replied
"Well then let's do it! Joey get out there!" she said pushing him on stage.
"Welcome minna- san, to the Higurashi Valentine's day play 'Cupid Struck my Heart'. We begin our tale in the land of demons. King Izumu called his son into his room......" The curtain lifts.
"You summoned me father?" InuYasha asked.
"Yes, indeed I did. Jin I think it is about time for you to think about marriage."
"Marriage!? But father, I am 18 years old!"
"Yes, the perfect age! Your brother Shinji is out in war so he cannot get married yet. I'll work on finding you a suitable wife. For now you must go meet the two new maids. They just arrived. One is for you and the other is for your cousin Hizu. He will be living here since his parents died in the war. And Ichiro will be coming in a week. Choose which ever one you think fits you."
"As you wish father." He and his father walk off stage, and Kagome and Sango walk on.
"I wonder who we're supposed serve Anata?" Kagome asked.
"I dunno Shinzui. We'll find out soon though. Someone is coming now." Sango replied.
"Welcome to the Hito Youkai castle. I assume that you are the new maids?" InuYasha asked.
"Hai." They replied in unison.
"Now I must choose which one of you is suitable for me, and which one is suitable for my cousin." He walked in circles around them, studying them.
"You there!"
"Hai! Yes sir?"
"What is your name?"
"M, my name is Shinzui."
"Follow me wench."
"My name is Shinzui!"
"Feh! Just follow me wench. And you, other girl."
"Hai?" Sango replied.
"Wait here. My cousin, the duke of Kyoto, will be arriving soon."
"Yes sir." Kagome and InuYasha walk off stage, and Miroku walks on.
"Well hello young maiden. Who are you?"
"I'm Anata. I'm waiting for the duke of Kyoto."
"Why would you be waiting for me?"
"You're the duke of Kyoto?"
"Last time I checked. And please, call me Hizu."
"Well I'm supposed to be your personal maid."
"Maid? Uncle never spoke of this to me. Oh well, follow me."
"Yes sir."
"What's that?"
"I mean, Hizu."
"Better." They walked off stage, and InuYasha and Kagome walk on.
"You are to follow my around and serve me whenever I need something." InuYasha said.
"Hai. Um, Sir?" Kagome asked.
"What?"
"May I ask the name of the one I serve?"
"Feh!"
"I'm sorry sir. I had no right to ask. I........."
"Jin."
"Huh?"
"My name is Jin."
"Jin-sama?"
"No. Just Jin."
"Hai. Jin." They walk off stage, Miroku and Sango walk on.
"Excuse me lord Hizu, but where are we going?"
"To my room."
"What for?"
"You'll see when we get there."
"Yes lord Hizu."
"Ah. Here we are. Come in Anata."
"As you wish lord Hizu." Lights go out. New props added to give the stage a room effect. Lights back on.
"Well I feel absolutely weary from my travels. Anata, help me with my robe please."
"Certainly my lord"
"What did you say?"
"I mean, lord Hizu."
"Thank you."
Sango walks over to Miroku and takes off his robe, leaving his chest exposed.
"Would you like for me to get you some other clothes lord Hizu?" Sango blushed.
"No, it's alright Anata. You know, a man like me could fall in love with a women like you if I didn't have to marry a duchess." He said sitting on the bed there.
"Oh lord Hizu, you're such a flatterer." Sango smiled.
"I'm very much serious Anata. Sometimes it's boring being a duke. You need someone more exciting than a duchess who tries to take over your life. I'm just glad I don't have to get married yet."
"Oh, that can't be true lord Hizu. Getting married is a wonderful thing! I can't wait until I find a man of my own to marry."
"I hope you find him too. It would be pretty hard to find someone while working in the castle though."
"It's alright. Thanks anyways. Oh, is there anything else you need lord Hizu?"
"No Anata, that's all."
"Well I'll be going to find my room now if you don't mind."
"Go ahead."
"Thank you lord Hizu. Call if you need something." She walks off stage.
"What a nice girl." Lights dim, and Miroku walks off stage people come out to take off the room props. Light turn on and Inu and Kag are on.
"Lord Jin where are we going?"
"I'm going to take a bath. Where are you going?"
"It's my job to follow you so that's what I'm going to do. I won't look of course."
"Fine then you stupid wench. Prepare my bath water for me."
"Yes lord Jin, but where is it?"
"Down the hall to the right."
"Ok." She walks off stage.
"Why did father have to get me a maid? I was fine on my own. And then he wants me to get married?! Some life I have."
"Jin!" his father yelled. "Where are you!?"
"In my room father!"
Walks on stage "Jin I've found a suitable wife for you."
"Well that was quick........."
"Ahem......her name is Kikyo and she the priestess and princess of the human realm."
"Don't I already have a stupid human maid that follows me around? No more humans already!"
"Too late. She and her mother are to be here in 1 week." Inu's dad leaves the stage.
"My life is over!"
"Lord Jin! You bath is ready!"
"Finally. I can wash away my troubles."
Kagome walks on. "What's troubling you lord Jin?"
"Nothing wench."
"Would it kill you to say my name!? It's Shinzui! Shi-N-Zu-I!"
"How dare you yell at me like that you wench!? I'm your master! Respect me!"
"I- I- I'm sorry lord Jin...*sniffle* I didn't mean to yell." Kagome began to act cry.
"What are you doing? You're not crying are you?"
"No lord Jin...*sniffle*"
"Hey, listen you. I didn't mean to be so mean. It's just my life here is so stupid."
"Why would you ever say such a thing? You have a better life than I do! You don't have a sick mother that you have to serve people to help pay get a doctor!
"I don't have a mother at all.........she died."
"*gasp* Oh, lord Jin! I'm sorry I didn't mean to!"
"It's Ok. You didn't know. Being ridiculed all your life because you're only a mere half breed. I'm kind of used to being alone."
"Half breed? I see. But that's no excuse to be alone."
"I'm not like some pet that needs company!"
"What's wrong with that? It's nice not to be alone."
"I guess not."
"See? Now then, you better take you bath before the water gets cold." Kagome smiled and starts walking off stage.
"Thanks Shinzui."
"Y-y-you said my name?"
"Yeah? What of it?"
"I just think you like me a little bit more than before."
"Feh. Well I guess you earned my respect."
"And you've earned mine." And they both walk off stage together.
Souta jumps on stage. "Those two seem like a good couple. If only Jin didn't have to marry a princess. Believe me she not that great anyways. Also that duke and maid are good for each other as well. Royal marriage my arrow! As Cupid I have to make this work!"
ACT II (lights back on)
"Hello is anyone here?" Sapphire said while she and Kago's mom walked on stage.
"'Ello? Cousins!? Are you here!? Where are they?" Kouga said walking on stage. "Oh! 'Ello. Ma name's Ichiro the duke of Tokyo. Who are you?"
"My name is Kikyo the priestess and princess of the Human realm and this is my mother."
"Hello young man."
"I'm here looking for prince Jin."
"Oh, me too."
"Hi Ichiro. You here already?" InuYasha said as he and Kagome walked on stage.
"Yes. Oh, and I believe this one right 'ere is waiting for you."
"Who are you?" InuYasha asked.
"My name is Kikyo and this is my mother."
"You're the one I have to marry?!"
"Is that why you were so uneasy all week lord Jin?"
"Yes Shinzui."
"Ha! Addressing your maid like a real person? What kind of royal manners have you been taught?" Sapphire asked meanly.
"She's not just my maid! She's my friend too!"
"Really? You consider me your friend lord Jin?"
"Of course. You're the only one that I can really talk to."
"And after the wedding I'll be that person you can talk to. You're not at all bad looking." Sapphire smirked.
"Why don't you go see my father? He's in the west wing of the castle in the library."
"Where is that?" she asked.
"Ichiro, go show her and the queen please. I'm going to my lessons."
"Sure." And he and Sapphire of stage.
"Forgive my daughter for her rudeness." Kag's mom said
"It's okay. She's not too bad." Kagome answered. Kag's mom left the stage.
"Whew! That was close! Come on Shinzui."
"The horses are ready Jin."
"Who needs horses? Just get on my back."
"But Jin!"
"Hurry before my father catches us!"
"Ok." She gets on his back, the lights turn off, they get off stage, and props are added to make it look like the woods. Lights turn back on and Inu and Kag walk on.
"Oh Jin, it's beautiful! How did you find this place?"
"I just decided to go for a run one day and I found this place. It just became my place to think."
"About what?"
"Well, uh, girls........."
"Girls? What about us?"
"Well I wonder if I would ever be able to, you know, find someone right for me. I just don't like the idea of have to marry someone because they are of royal blood."
"So what you're saying is that you want to find someone that would be right for YOU and not for what they are, as in royal?"
"Right."
"I think about marriage sometimes too. I always tell myself that no one would want me because of my jobs, and how poor I am, but I always leave just a shred of hope."
"Well I don't see anything wrong with you. Someone is bound to like you."
"Thanks."
"Hey, what kind of man are you looking for anyway?"
"Not like it's any of your business groom to be, but the kind of man I'm looking for is someone who would accept what I am, love me for who I am, and respects me. What about you? If you didn't have to marry that Kikyo girl that is."
"Well, someone who would accept me for what I am, love me for who I am, and doesn't try to get over on me for my wealth."
"Wealth is such a terrible thing to love someone for. It's just wrong to me."
"You wouldn't do something like that? Even though you're poor?"
"Of course not. Love is what matters."
"That's what I think too. Hey Shinzui."
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry for being so mean to you on your first day. I was just mad because that was the day my father decided to be wed me."
"It's alright. You didn't have to apologize lord Jin."
"No, but I felt really bad about it all week."
"Thanks."
All time seemed to stop. Inu and Kag froze to make it look that way. Souta then came on stage and Inu and Kag made it look like they couldn't see or hear him.
"This is the perfect time. They need a little love boost! And with my magical invisible arrows, they'll have to fall in love even more than they are right now!" Souta then shot his invisible arrows and ran off stage. Then Inu and Kag started moving again.
"OW!" they both yelled clutching their chests. Then they looked each other in a loving way and hugged each other.
"Why can't I just marry you my love!?" Kagome yelled.
"We can get married darling. But we would have to run away. There's no way I could marry that brat if a princess. She's not half as beautiful as you are."
(backstage)
"None of that's in the script!" Joey yelled.
"Yeah! Just what kind of invisible arrows did you shoot Souta?!" Sango asked.
"I dunno. They felt like air to me! What's going on!?"
"Something that should have been going on for a long time." Miroku said.
"Ever since the concert." Ms. Higurashi said.
"Something that happens when you strike a deal with the REAL Cupid." They said together.
"Wha' do ya mean tha real Cupid?" Kouga asked. "He's stealing ma Sheela!"
"She's not your woman Kouga!" Sango yelled. "And how did you make a deal with the real Cupid Miroku?"
"Simple. I do come from a long line of monks. Calling upon Greek gods is quite simple. Making a deal with them on the other hand, is much harder."
"We gotta get them off stage before they decide they want to be a mom and dad in front of all those people!" Sango yelled.
"GRANDCHILDREN!!! Let them be Sango!" Ms. H smiled.
"Hey! I my son is part of that too! I'm not going to let him just......... Did you say grandchildren? Well in that case put the curtain down!"
"That's disgusting!! OMIGOD!! There making out! Come on you guys we have to get them off stage! Just try to make it look like part of the play! Joey it's all up to you! You have to narrate the end!" Sango yelled.
"But then we won't get to our love scene Sango!" Miroku whined.
"Shut up Miroku! This is way more important! Get out there now Joey!" She barked.
"Ya mean I have ta make it all up!?" Joey asked.
"Yes now go!" they all said. Inu's dad pulled the rope for the curtain to go down and everyone else pushed Joey on stage.
"And so prince Jin and his maid Shinzui announced there love to the king Izumu who, thought about his own relationship with a human and decided the two should be wed, instead princess Kikyo and him. Princess Kikyo decided that she didn't want to marry prince Jin anyways and she and her mother went back to the human realm. Prince Jin and now princess Shinzui had 4 children. 2 boys named Shiro and Kuro, and 2 girls named Chihiro, and Sakura. And the lived happily ever after, THE END" Joey walked of stage and the crowd applauded.
(backstage again)
"Snap out of it you two!"
"What's there to snap out of Sango?" they asked still hugging.
"You're not supposed to be like this!"
"Come on Kago, my love. I don't think we're appreciated here." InuYasha said running into the woods behind the shrine.
"THEY'RE GONNA!!! AND WITH MY SHEELA!!!" Kouga yelled.
"No they're not. There's no time." Miroku said
"Huh?"
"The effect wears off in 3-2-1........." he counted down.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! WHERE'S MY DRESS!!!?" Kagome yelled.
"WHERE'S MY SHIRT!!!!?"
"OH MY GOD!!! WHAT HAPPENED!!!?" They both screamed.
"Told ya" Miroku smiled.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
And that's the end of this chappy! Hope you enjoyed the cut off/ruined play! ^_^ There's just some weird things happening to those two.........Could this little fling have done something to InuYasha's demon side? Find out soon on the next chapter of WRAHS called: Youkai Say Goodbye! It's not what the title really means though. And I never forget my Onegai's and Arigato's so Arigato for reading and Onegai review and keep reading! Ja ne minna- san!!!!!
InuYasha: What's a V-Day?
Kagome: It's the day of Love InuYasha!! You're supposed to shower the one you love with gifts and love!
InuYasha: I have to?
Kagome: Yup......... (Blushes)
InuYasha: Ok! Where's Kikyo!?
Kagome: (anime fall) Kikyo!? Kikyo!? KIKYO!?

"Feh! Just follow me wench. And you, other girl."
"Hai?" Sango replied.
"Wait here. My cousin, the duke of Kyoto, will be arriving soon."
"Yes sir." Kagome and InuYasha walk off stage, and Miroku walks on.
"Well hello young maiden. Who are you?"
"I'm Anata. I'm waiting for the duke of Kyoto."
"Why would you be waiting for me?"
"You're the duke of Kyoto?"
"Last time I checked. And please, call me Hizu."
"Well I'm supposed to be your personal maid."
"Maid? Uncle never spoke of this to me. Oh well, follow me."
"Yes sir."
"What's that?"
"I mean, Hizu."
"Better." They walked off stage, and InuYasha and Kagome walk on.
"You are to follow my around and serve me whenever I need something." InuYasha said.
"Hai. Um, Sir?" Kagome asked.
"What?"
"May I ask the name of the one I serve?"
"Feh!"
"I'm sorry sir. I had no right to ask. I........."
"Jin."
"Huh?"
"My name is Jin."
"Jin-sama?"
"No. Just Jin."
"Hai. Jin." They walk off stage, Miroku and Sango walk on.
"Excuse me lord Hizu, but where are we going?"
"To my room."
"What for?"
"You'll see when we get there."
"Yes lord Hizu."
"Ah. Here we are. Come in Anata."
"As you wish lord Hizu." Lights go out. New props added to give the stage a room effect. Lights back on.
"Well I feel absolutely weary from my travels. Anata, help me with my robe please."
"Certainly my lord"
"What did you say?"
"I mean, lord Hizu."
"Thank you."
Sango walks over to Miroku and takes off his robe, leaving his chest exposed.
"Would you like for me to get you some other clothes lord Hizu?" Sango blushed.
"No, it's alright Anata. You know, a man like me could fall in love with a women like you if I didn't have to marry a duchess." He said sitting on the bed there.
"Oh lord Hizu, you're such a flatterer." Sango smiled.
"I'm very much serious Anata. Sometimes it's boring being a duke. You need someone more exciting than a duchess who tries to take over your life. I'm just glad I don't have to get married yet."
"Oh, that can't be true lord Hizu. Getting married is a wonderful thing! I can't wait until I find a man of my own to marry."
"I hope you find him too. It would be pretty hard to find someone while working in the castle though."
"It's alright. Thanks anyways. Oh, is there anything else you need lord Hizu?"
"No Anata, that's all."
"Well I'll be going to find my room now if you don't mind."
"Go ahead."
"Thank you lord Hizu. Call if you need something." She walks off stage.
"What a nice girl." Lights dim, and Miroku walks off stage people come out to take off the room props. Light turn on and Inu and Kag are on.
"Lord Jin where are we going?"
"I'm going to take a bath. Where are you going?"
"It's my job to follow you so that's what I'm going to do. I won't look of course."
"Fine then you stupid wench. Prepare my bath water for me."
"Yes lord Jin, but where is it?"
"Down the hall to the right."
"Ok." She walks off stage.
"Why did father have to get me a maid? I was fine on my own. And then he wants me to get married?! Some life I have."
"Jin!" his father yelled. "Where are you!?"
"In my room father!"
Walks on stage "Jin I've found a suitable wife for you."
"Well that was quick........."
"Ahem......her name is Kikyo and she the priestess and princess of the human realm."
"Don't I already have a stupid human maid that follows me around? No more humans already!"
"Too late. She and her mother are to be here in 1 week." Inu's dad leaves the stage.
"My life is over!"
"Lord Jin! You bath is ready!"
"Finally. I can wash away my troubles."
Kagome walks on. "What's troubling you lord Jin?"
"Nothing wench."
"Would it kill you to say my name!? It's Shinzui! Shi-N-Zu-I!"
"How dare you yell at me like that you wench!? I'm your master! Respect me!"
"I- I- I'm sorry lord Jin...*sniffle* I didn't mean to yell." Kagome began to act cry.
"What are you doing? You're not crying are you?"
"No lord Jin...*sniffle*"
"Hey, listen you. I didn't mean to be so mean. It's just my life here is so stupid."
"Why would you ever say such a thing? You have a better life than I do! You don't have a sick mother that you have to serve people to help pay get a doctor!
"I don't have a mother at all.........she died."
"*gasp* Oh, lord Jin! I'm sorry I didn't mean to!"
"It's Ok. You didn't know. Being ridiculed all your life because you're only a mere half breed. I'm kind of used to being alone."
"Half breed? I see. But that's no excuse to be alone."
"I'm not like some pet that needs company!"
"What's wrong with that? It's nice not to be alone."
"I guess not."
"See? Now then, you better take you bath before the water gets cold." Kagome smiled and starts walking off stage.
"Thanks Shinzui."
"Y-y-you said my name?"
"Yeah? What of it?"
"I just think you like me a little bit more than before."
"Feh. Well I guess you earned my respect."
"And you've earned mine." And they both walk off stage together.
Souta jumps on stage. "Those two seem like a good couple. If only Jin didn't have to marry a princess. Believe me she not that great anyways. Also that duke and maid are good for each other as well. Royal marriage my arrow! As Cupid I have to make this work!"
ACT II (lights back on)
"Hello is anyone here?" Sapphire said while she and Kago's mom walked on stage.
"'Ello? Cousins!? Are you here!? Where are they?" Kouga said walking on stage. "Oh! 'Ello. Ma name's Ichiro the duke of Tokyo. Who are you?"
"My name is Kikyo the priestess and princess of the Human realm and this is my mother."
"Hello young man."
"I'm here looking for prince Jin."
"Oh, me too."
"Hi Ichiro. You here already?" InuYasha said as he and Kagome walked on stage.
"Yes. Oh, and I believe this one right 'ere is waiting for you."
"Who are you?" InuYasha asked.
"My name is Kikyo and this is my mother."
"You're the one I have to marry?!"
"Is that why you were so uneasy all week lord Jin?"
"Yes Shinzui."
"Ha! Addressing your maid like a real person? What kind of royal manners have you been taught?" Sapphire asked meanly.
"She's not just my maid! She's my friend too!"
"Really? You consider me your friend lord Jin?"
"Of course. You're the only one that I can really talk to."
"And after the wedding I'll be that person you can talk to. You're not at all bad looking." Sapphire smirked.
"Why don't you go see my father? He's in the west wing of the castle in the library."
"Where is that?" she asked.
"Ichiro, go show her and the queen please. I'm going to my lessons."
"Sure." And he and Sapphire of stage.
"Forgive my daughter for her rudeness." Kag's mom said
"It's okay. She's not too bad." Kagome answered. Kag's mom left the stage.
"Whew! That was close! Come on Shinzui."
"The horses are ready Jin."
"Who needs horses? Just get on my back."
"But Jin!"
"Hurry before my father catches us!"
"Ok." She gets on his back, the lights turn off, they get off stage, and props are added to make it look like the woods. Lights turn back on and Inu and Kag walk on.
"Oh Jin, it's beautiful! How did you find this place?"
"I just decided to go for a run one day and I found this place. It just became my place to think."
"About what?"
"Well, uh, girls........."
"Girls? What about us?"
"Well I wonder if I would ever be able to, you know, find someone right for me. I just don't like the idea of have to marry someone because they are of royal blood."
"So what you're saying is that you want to find someone that would be right for YOU and not for what they are, as in royal?"
"Right."
"I think about marriage sometimes too. I always tell myself that no one would want me because of my jobs, and how poor I am, but I always leave just a shred of hope."
"Well I don't see anything wrong with you. Someone is bound to like you."
"Thanks."
"Hey, what kind of man are you looking for anyway?"
"Not like it's any of your business groom to be, but the kind of man I'm looking for is someone who would accept what I am, love me for who I am, and respects me. What about you? If you didn't have to marry that Kikyo girl that is."
"Well, someone who would accept me for what I am, love me for who I am, and doesn't try to get over on me for my wealth."
"Wealth is such a terrible thing to love someone for. It's just wrong to me."
"You wouldn't do something like that? Even though you're poor?"
"Of course not. Love is what matters."
"That's what I think too. Hey Shinzui."
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry for being so mean to you on your first day. I was just mad because that was the day my father decided to be wed me."
"It's alright. You didn't have to apologize lord Jin."
"No, but I felt really bad about it all week."
"Thanks."
All time seemed to stop. Inu and Kag froze to make it look that way. Souta then came on stage and Inu and Kag made it look like they couldn't see or hear him.
"This is the perfect time. They need a little love boost! And with my magical invisible arrows, they'll have to fall in love even more than they are right now!" Souta then shot his invisible arrows and ran off stage. Then Inu and Kag started moving again.
"OW!" they both yelled clutching their chests. Then they looked each other in a loving way and hugged each other.
"Why can't I just marry you my love!?" Kagome yelled.
"We can get married darling. But we would have to run away. There's no way I could marry that brat if a princess. She's not half as beautiful as you are."
(backstage)
"None of that's in the script!" Joey yelled.
"Yeah! Just what kind of invisible arrows did you shoot Souta?!" Sango asked.
"I dunno. They felt like air to me! What's going on!?"
"Something that should have been going on for a long time." Miroku said.
"Ever since the concert." Ms. Higurashi said.
"Something that happens when you strike a deal with the REAL Cupid." They said together.
"Wha' do ya mean tha real Cupid?" Kouga asked. "He's stealing ma Sheela!"
"She's not your woman Kouga!" Sango yelled. "And how did you make a deal with the real Cupid Miroku?"
"Simple. I do come from a long line of monks. Calling upon Greek gods is quite simple. Making a deal with them on the other hand, is much harder."
"We gotta get them off stage before they decide they want to be a mom and dad in front of all those people!" Sango yelled.
"GRANDCHILDREN!!! Let them be Sango!" Ms. H smiled.
"Hey! I my son is part of that too! I'm not going to let him just......... Did you say grandchildren? Well in that case put the curtain down!"
"That's disgusting!! OMIGOD!! There making out! Come on you guys we have to get them off stage! Just try to make it look like part of the play! Joey it's all up to you! You have to narrate the end!" Sango yelled.
"But then we won't get to our love scene Sango!" Miroku whined.
"Shut up Miroku! This is way more important! Get out there now Joey!" She barked.
"Ya mean I have ta make it all up!?" Joey asked.
"Yes now go!" they all said. Inu's dad pulled the rope for the curtain to go down and everyone else pushed Joey on stage.
"And so prince Jin and his maid Shinzui announced there love to the king Izumu who, thought about his own relationship with a human and decided the two should be wed, instead princess Kikyo and him. Princess Kikyo decided that she didn't want to marry prince Jin anyways and she and her mother went back to the human realm. Prince Jin and now princess Shinzui had 4 children. 2 boys named Shiro and Kuro, and 2 girls named Chihiro, and Sakura. And the lived happily ever after, THE END" Joey walked of stage and the crowd applauded.
(backstage again)
"Snap out of it you two!"
"What's there to snap out of Sango?" they asked still hugging.
"You're not supposed to be like this!"
"Come on Kago, my love. I don't think we're appreciated here." InuYasha said running into the woods behind the shrine.
"THEY'RE GONNA!!! AND WITH MY SHEELA!!!" Kouga yelled.
"No they're not. There's no time." Miroku said
"Huh?"
"The effect wears off in 3-2-1........." he counted down.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! WHERE'S MY DRESS!!!?" Kagome yelled.
"WHERE'S MY SHIRT!!!!?"
"OH MY GOD!!! WHAT HAPPENED!!!?" They both screamed.
"Told ya" Miroku smiled.
