Rikki-sama: Thank you to all the people who reviewed and especially to this anonymous person who had the exact same idea. It's true, where would we girls be without anime guys? We would probably be dead. Who can survive without them!?

A Family Crisis

--------------------

"Iie, iie, iie!" I screamed to San-chan.

"Hai, hai, hai!" Sango shouted back at me as she placed duck tape over my mouth as I sat in the limo struggling to get free from the ropes.

"We're really sorry...." Hakkaku apologized. "We had to do it, Ms. Sango told us to...oh please forgive us!"

"I feel really bad tieing you up Kagome-neesan....but we got orders from the boss." Ginta responded.

He and Hakkaku had tied me up because of my DEAR friend Sango. They had no choice, everyone knew that Sango could always get her way, that is why men are afraid to ask her out, they know they would get their ass whooped if anything wrong happened.

'Mmmmppphhh' was all I could say. It really wasn't my day and the worst part was coming up, MY FAMILY!!

'I'm gonna be so embarassed infront of my friends, sure they've met them before but they have never experienced the TRUE Higurashi family.'

--------------------

"Konbanwa Mrs. Higurashi!" My 'BEST' friend shouted as my mom opened the front door.

"Oh...hey mom..." I greeted, still feeling the excrusiating pain from having the tape ripped off my mouth. "..How are you?"

"Hi Kagome, Sango, Hakkaku, Ginta! Oh I'm fine, come in and have some supper." My 'innocent' mother greeted us.

We walked in and sat down at my old dinner table. Just then Souta- my little brother- came to the dining room.

"Kagome-neesan! Did you bring me something? Did you? DID YOU!?" He shouted with glee.

"Uh....I forgot.." I said slapping my forehead at the same time.

"N-NANI! WHY!?" He shouted back at me, glaring daggers.

"GOMEN NASAI! YOU EXPECT ME TO BRING YOU SOMETHING ALL THE TIME, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT ME COMING HOME! SOME BROTHER YOU ARE!!" I yelled at him as my anger rose.

"I DO LIKE IT WHEN YOU COME HOME BUT COULD YOU AT LEAST BRING ME SOMETHING SMALL!" Souta screamed while pulling my hair very hard.

"ITE ITE! LET GO, I SAID I WAS SORRY...ITE...OK I WILL NEXT TIME!!" I screamed, slapping his hand to let go of my hair.

We both stopped when my mother and my friends held us back. Just then my annoying grandpa came in the room. We both gave each other an awkward look and sat down at the table across from each other.

"This is delicious!" I complimented my mother as I grabbed another peice of beef.

"Ya! Mrs. Higurashi, you have got to be the best cook ever." Sango said, eating some sushi.

Just as I was about to grabbed the last chicken wing I noticed that I wasn't the only one going for it. My grandpa grabbed the other side as I did.

"Give that to me!" He yelled struggling to get the peice out of my chopsticks.

"No that belongs to me!" I shouted back as my friends watched me curiously.

"MINE!"

"NO! MINE!"

"I'M NOT LETTING GO, GIVE ME THAT PEICE, TREAT YOUR ELDERS WITH RESPECT!"

"YOUR AN OLD MAN, GREASY FOOD ISN'T GOOD FOR YOU!!!"

"BUT I'M YOUR GRANDPA!! YOU HAVEN'T CALLED FOR AT LEAST A MONTH!! HOW CAN YOU EVEN TRY TO TAKE THIS CHICKEN WING FROM A VERY LOVEABLE AND CARING OLD MAN!"

"HEY EVEN THOUGH I WAS STILL ON VACATION DOESN'T MEAN I WASN'T BUSY, WHO EVEN SAID YOU WERE A CARING GRANDPA, YOU USED TO LIE TO MY FRIENDS AND MADE ME DO CHORES UNTIL MY ARMS WOULD DROP. THAT'S NOT FAIR, GIVE ME, GIVE ME, GIVE ME, GIVE ME!"

"STOP IT!" My mother hollered at us as she took the last peice and ate it. "Excuse me! This isn't a time for fighting, we should be eating peacefully. Kagome you are an adult I would expect you to be quiet during dinner time but your acting like a teenager. And your grandfather is right, give respect to your elders! And.." she turned to face her father. "..Dad I expect more from you, she still acts like a kid but that doesn't give you the right to behave like her! I am very very disappointed in BOTH of you!

I looked back at my friends, I swear I thought I had never felt this much embarassment in my whole life. Their expressions made me realize that I should have been ashamed of myself and the lecture from my mom taught me how childish I could be. I was a total baka, no adult should fight over a stupid chicken wing. Man my face was burning up.

"Gomen nasai grandpa, please forgive my actions." I apologized to my grandpa and he did so.

--------------------

"Kagome-chan?" Sango called to me.

"Hai..." I replied coming to my old bedroom, where Sango was. We were staying the night and Sango was looking at my old stuff animals.

"You're crazy you know....but that was funny at dinner time." She said to me as she lifted up a duck plushie and examined it.

"I told you my family is wacked out, I keep getting into fights with each and every one of them." I stated as I sat down on my old pink bed.

"Well....you always get into arguments....with me, your mom, Souta and grandpa." Sango mumbled.

....::Silence::....

"Girls, come down and watch a movie with us." My mother called, breaking the silence. We went downstairs and found a seat on the couch. As we sat down, Ginta handed us a bowl of popcorn and two sodas.

"Wow! What movie are we watching?" I asked curiously.

"It's a scary movie, called 'Kurai'. It has blood and guns and knives and exploding bodies and, and...." Souta responded very excitedly.

"Um....WHY!!??" Sango complained.

"Sango-chan don't be afraid....here cover your face when there's a scary part." I said tossing her a pillow.

The movie began, with it's title appearing on the screen. The words were written in what seem to be a design of blood, it was already starting to spook me out. It started off with an old man in a truck, as he crossed the bridge he found a man dressed in black standing there in the middle of the road. The old man got out of his vehicle and slowly walked toward the guy. His expression changed from a curious look to a scared one when he noticed that the man was covered in blood, he examined him and asked if he was okay. Just then the man in blood took out a knife and stabbed the guy, he quickly picked up the unconcious body and went into the dark mist.

"Oh Kami-Sama, this is freaky.....ahhhh!" Sango screamed in terror.

"It's okay, it's not that.....AHHHH!" I screamed as I watched a girl get attacked by seven demons. "......Okay maybe I was wroooong!"

"Shh....it's getting to the best part where they find out that this mysterious guy is actually cursed and then he chants a freaky curse and blood spills into the- " Ginta got caught off.

"Hey don't spoil it!" Hakkaku and Souta shouted in unison.

Soon all hell broke lose as everyone screamed in horror and broke into an unusual and unexpected conversations.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Nooooooooooo! Run!!"

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!!"

"HIDE DAMMIT HIDE...STUPID GIRL....AHHHH!"

"HEY WATCH IT! YOU SPILLED POPCORN ON MY PANTS!"

"AHHH...WHERE'S THE PILLOW!"

"STOP BEING CHICKEN SHIT!"

"Whaaa...this is scary.....oops, gomen!"

"AHHH MY SHIRT, YOU SPILLED COKE ON MY NEW SHIRT!"

"I said I was sorry..."

"Why you little-"

"Shut up!"

"Don't tell me to AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! I'M LEAVING!"

"Chotto! I'm coming too!"

Sango and I ran upstairs to the bathroom, we brushed our teeth and washed our faces. Man, were we tired and afraid, we didn't want to finish watching the movie.

"Sango?" I called to her while laying down on my comfy bed.

"Ya...I know your afraid too." She responded, entering the room. "But don't worry it was just a stupid movie..."

"Sure...but man was it scary...I thought I was gonna have a heart attack."

"Kag-chan?" she spoke, laying on the bed beside me.

"Ya....?"

"You're right.....your family is creepy..."
