Ch: 2 More Random Confusion
When we last left our "heroes" we had just learned that Mark had read the Inu-yasha manga in collage. Oh! And that they were supposed to kill Inu- yasha himself. But that's not really important.
"Hey Collins!" Benny said. "Ask him what this Inyu Yasa guy did to earn him a death mark."
"Anatawe dosute watashitachi Inu-yasha korosu?" Collins asked.
The man dressed as a baboon looked exasperated for a moment as if he were tired of this conversation. (A/N: I'm tired of this conversation.) He motioned to someone behind him to come forward.
Out of the shadows came a small girl with pail skin, white hair, wearing a white kimono. She so looked like a ghost! She stopped right in front of our "heroes" and held up a mirror. The mirror began to glow and 8 fish flopped out onto the ground.
"What the f!" Mark exclaimed.
"Wow!" Roger blurted out. He picked up a fish and stuck it in his ear. "I didn't know these things were real! They're Bable Fish!"
"What the f!" Mark reiterated his earlier statement.
Roger gathered the remaining fish and gave one to each person. Even The Man whom was too high off his own stash to care (or even notice). Once everyone had received a fish he said: "Stick it in your ear."
"What the f!" No need to tell you who that was.
All but Mark followed his instructions. It was only then that Naraku answered the last question.
"Inu-yasha is a despicable half-demon. His list of crimes is ever lengthening. He has corrupted the soul of a pure and powerful priestess, attempted to steal the Shikon Jewel, had one of his followers destroy the jewel when he could not posses it, nearly killed his own brother, and destroyed an entire village of Demon Slayers just to get 3 jewel shards. He is a vile freak of nature that can not be allowed to live!" Naraku finished his speech.
"Wow I can understand Mr. Monkey now!" Maureen clapped excitedly.
"What profit is there in this for me?" Benny asked.
"You get to go home if and when you complete your task." Benny was silenced by Naraku's response.
The 8 future Americans conferred among themselves and after explaining to Mark (who still had his Bable Fish in his hand) decided it would be in there best interest to cooperate with Naraku and kill Inu-yasha.
And with that our 8 protagonists set out on their long and tiresome journey. Their wills were set and nothing but death or a better scapegoat would break them.
And so they traveled the land in silence dreaming of a home they may never see again. All except Mark, that is. Through a plot hole that had opened up in his brain, was humming the tune to the Inu-Yasha anime season one: "I Want to Change the World". He wondered how he came to know the song seeing as he'd only read the manga and never even seen the English episodes. (A/N: Evil, bad, painful American voise actors. Shudder)
As they passed through village after village after village (which was really one village, they were going in circles) Mark began to film their surroundings.
After growing tired of their repeated surroundings, they collectively decided, as group, (okay, The Man came up with the idea but no one wanted to admitted it and by five minutes later he had forgotten) to ask some Village People where they were going, seeing as the 70s pop group could not be found, they decided to ask some of the inhabitants of the village.
They stopped an elderly man on a path and began asking him questions. "Wait!" Mark stopped them "I should get this on film so we can replay it if we forget what he says. Oh and guys, translate what he says to English so I can understand it." Maureen was really annoyed, why couldn't he put the fish in his ear? I mean it's not that odd, and everyone else seemed to be alright (well, not The Man, but he never seemed alright). Then an idea supplanted itself in Maureen's mind.
Mark looked up in time enough to catch Maureen whispering to Joanne, and Joanne nodding. Just then, Maureen lunged at him knocking him over, and holding his arms firmly at his sides. Quickly, Joanne took the fish from Mark's hand and stuck it in his ear. Maureen, noticing that Mark didn't put up a fight she pinned him and assuming he actually enjoyed her weight on him quickly scrambled to her feet. "Much better, Cohen."
Mark got his camera out and ready, as Collins, the most well versed in Japanese customs of the bunch, began asking questions. But, as soon as the camera pointed at the old man and began filming, he fell to ground. Mark immediately switched off his camera and everyone but The Man rushed over to help him. "He has no pulse!" Joanne exclaimed looking up at everyone.
"Are you sure?" Mimi enquired. She was really just waiting for him to return from the dead as she had. Ever since her near-death experience, she'd had a hard time believing in death. Roger looked at his girlfriend, knowing exactly what she was thinking, and hoping she was right, but the old man's soul did not return.
"He has it!" The Man said pointing at Mark "I saw this blue ball of light being ripped from the center of his body, and flowing into the camera." Everyone ignored his comment, everyone, that is, except Mark. He had seen it too, through his camera. He had no idea how it came about but he'd suddenly felt a surge of power flow into him, though when nobody else seemed to notice, he figured it was the fish playing tricks on his brain.
After they were assured the man was dead, Collins left a note addressed to his family explaining how the old man had simply dropped dead. "WE"RE INNOCENT!" Benny added in English, though nobody could read it, he still felt better knowing no one would come after him.
Even though no one believed The Man, everyone was still a little freaked out at how the old man had simply dropped dead the second the camera was on him. "Come on Mark, just don't film any more people." Roger pleaded.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Mark responded defensively "How could I have killed him? I was like fifteen feet away!"
"We're not saying you killed him, hun," Mimi told him, "We just think, you're camera's cursed or something."
"Fine I promise not to film any more people." Mark agreed, though he was wishing now that he's filmed The Man before saying that, either he'd have really funny footage of an evil man stoned out of his mind, or the man would be gone forever and out of their hair. "Wait," Mark thought to himself, "Did I just admit to myself that the camera killed that man?"
"Yes" his conscience told him, which he automatically dismissed as another one of the fishes games.
They continued to look for a person who might be able to tell them where to find Inu-Yasha. As they were searching Collins decided he must have lost it. On top of everything else that was happening, he was beginning to see Angel out of the corner of his eye, but when he'd look where he saw her, his gaze was always met with a tree, or woodland creature as it scampered away. Just then, out from behind a tree, popped our favorite dead transvestite. "Angel!" Collins exclaimed. He wasn't sure if his lover was really there, but if not, he welcomed the illusion.
The man in the long pink Kimono with white cranes and a baby blue obi smiled "Oh Collins sweety, you've come back to me!" The two men embraced.
They were all happy to see him (well, not Benny or The Man, necessarily, but that was another story), but had to wonder, were they dead? "As much as we're happy to see you," Roger interrupted everyone's thoughts, "But are we dead? And if so what happened to that old man?"
"No silly, you're not dead," Angel answered, everyone who could breathe breathed a sigh of relief, "but now that I am no longer bound by that real body, I can travel time and space, but I can't go back to anytime and place where I actually lived except in dreams or out-of-body experiences." Not everyone understood what was said, but decided to accept the fact that Angel was back, at least for now.
Collins held Angels hand, "You still feel like you have a body,"
"Yeah, I haven't quite been able to figure out why, but hey, it gives me a chance to model the, uh, current fashion." He said motioning to his kimono.
The Man –complietly oblivious to the reunion that had just happened- stepped between Collins and Angile. "Hey1 Do you know a guy named Inu- Yasha?" he asked unstedily.
"Not that I know of know." He answered. "But there was this cuttie a few miles bach... I didn't catch his name but he may know ..." Angle caught Collins' glare "Did I say 'cuuie'? I meant this weird guy, terrible fashion sence, his boa clashed horribly with the rest of his ensemble. Plus I think he was married. He had a little girl with him and a short green thing. Oh and a 2 headed dragon."
"Well lets fine this guy!" Joanne said.
The nine Americans from the end of the melliniam set out to find the fasion challenged married man with a girl and a short green thing. Ho! And a two headed dragon.
