Families CAN Be Replaceable
More reviews!
LiL:.CaT:.AnImE- I'm really starting to look forward to seeing your next review on the review page! Here's another one. Just for you!
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. Inuyasha's wound was already pretty much gone. Kagome was shooting some arrows at a tree for practice. She didn't tip them with blue this time, probably so that she could pull them out of the tree. Sango was chasing Miroku around for reasons unwanted to be known, and Shippo and I were playing games.
I thought we'd be going strait back to Kaede's or 'Home' as the others called it, but we would do that tomorrow. That didn't bother me.
"Kyo?" Shippo asked. "Yes?" "How did you learn to catch needles like that?" I thought for a moment. "I really didn't learn, Shippo." I told him, "I guess it was sort of instinct." "Was it hard?" the kid asked. "I don't know." I admitted, "But it was really scary!" Shippo and I laughed.
"Feh!" Inuyasha commented, "I bet I could catch arrows like that." "Why don't you try?" I asked him. "I will!" he said turning to Kagome, "Oi! Kagome! I want to try catching arrows!" She stopped shooting and kind of stared at him. "Why?" she finally asked. "Because the cat can do it, that's why!"
"I don't think that's such a good idea." Kagome replied, "You do have a pretty bad history with arrows." I'd have to remember to ask what Inuyasha's history with arrows was. "I'm going to try it!" Inuyasha said. Kagome sighed. "Fine, just stand in front of this tree. I don't want to loose any arrows. We might need them.
Inuyasha got up and stood in front of the tree. "Ready?" Kagome asked. "Put your power on it." Inuyasha told her. "No." Kagome said, "Ready?" Inuyasha gave one of his famous scowls. "I guess so." he replied.
Kagome let the first arrow fly. It looked like Inuyasha was going to catch it from off the bat. He didn't. The arrow flew right by his hand and neck. Luckily it didn't hit anything except the tree. "Another!" he called.
She let another go. Once again Inuyasha missed it. Kagome shot another. This time Inuyasha tried running up to it. He was very close. It went through the space between his thumb and his pointer finger.
"One more and that's it." Kagome declared. She let the arrow go. I could tell something bad was going to happen on this one. I turned around. There was somewhat of a hollow 'thwak' and Inuyasha let out a scream. Sango stopped chasing Miroku with her boomarang and the two ran over.
"I told you something like this would happen!" Kagome yelled. I could hear, annoyence, fear, and even a bit of hystarics in her voice, "I'm going to kill you! Just like Kikyo." Another person I'd have to ask about.
I turned around and dropped my mouth to what I saw. The arrow was going right through Inuyasha's hand. "You're not going to kill me with this, woman." he told her, "Kikyo got me through the chest. AND she used her power to do it."
Kagome pulled the arrow out of Inuyasha's hand, prompting another yell. "Why'd you do that, bitch?!" he demanded. "If you're not going to die then I want my arrow back." she replied going to pull the rest of the arrows out of the tree.
That night at dinner I brought up the conversation of Inuyasha and arrows. "Why did you say Inuyasha has a bad history with arrows?" The group exchanged glances. Inuyasha's lover stuck him to a tree with one of her arrows for 50 years." Kagome told me. "Her name was Kikyo."Sango continued, "She's dead now. Inuyasha hurt her pretty badly enough before she stuck him to the tree." "Kagome's her reincarnation." Miroku finished.
I was not expecting this explanation. "Do we have to talk about that damn Kikyo?" Inuyasha asked. "Come on!" Kagome said, "I know you still have feelings for her." Something flashed in her eyes. "Kikyo comes to visit sometimes." Miroku told me, "Kagome's jelous." "I am NOT jelous!" Kagome said blushing. "Come on, admit it." Miroku continued, "You are!" "Am not!" "Are too!"
Sango sighed. "If you two do not cool it I am going to hurt you, Miroku." she said. That was the end of the conversation.
I woke was woken up the next morning by Inuyasha. "Wake up kid." he said. I opened one eye. "You slept in late today." Sango said. She was standing next to him, "It's probably because you've never fought before. You missed breakfast." "I was going to wake you up." Miroku said walking over, "But Sango and Kagome forbid it." "He's a pervert." Sango said with a scowl. "You was sleeping." Kagome said walking over, "We're all ready to go. Just get your stuff together and we're out of here."
A few minutes later I was ready to go. We set off. This time I was not cramped in a bag. It felt good to stretch my legs.
"I'm going to go through the well as soon as we get back." Kagome told me. "Go through the well? I asked, "You mean you're going home?" I was a bit nervous. I didn't want to left alone with Inuyasha. He could probably murder me in one swipe of those big claws.
Inuyasha apparently heard me ask this. "Home?" he demanded, "Why the hell do you want to go home?!" "I miss my family." Kagome told him, "I havn'et seen them in a week. I'm also thinking about staying a day for school." "You're staying here." Inuyasha told her. "I'm not, we'll discus this later." "You're staying here." he repeated. "Later, Inuyasha!" "You're staying here." "Later!" "Here!" "Sit!"
Inuyasha met his friend, the dirt. "Anyway," Kagome said turning back to me, "I was wondering if you'd like to come with me. I'm sure my mom and brother would be happy to meet you. I'm not so sure about my grandpa though." "He doesn't like demons?" I asked. "You got it. So do you want to go? You could wear a hat to cover your ears or what ever you do usually."
"I've never been outside my house before now." I told her. Kagome stared at me. "Really?" she asked. I nodded. "No school?" "I learned from my sibling's books." "No shopping?" "I got my mom's hand me downs."
"You poor girl!" Kagome exclaimed, "You have no choice but to go with me! I'll show you Tokyo."
Inuyasha: I couldn't catch the arrows and the stupid cat could?!?!
Kagome: It seems that way. I knew it was a stupid idea for you to try.
Clear Waters: Soooooo, do you like Kyo?
Kagome: She doesn't listen to rules. She'll fit right in.
Sango: She's sweet.
Miroku: She's a pretty girl, how could I not love her?
Sango: {big slap} PERVERT!
Shippo: I think she's really really cool!
Inuyasha: I think she's a stupid show off.With a rotten family.
Kagome: Inuyasha....
Miroku: New home inprovements today?
Clear Waters: The windows now have metal shutters over them.
Kagome: No wonder it's so dark in here!
Inuyasha: Duh. You're such and idiot.
Kagome: SIT!
Inuyasha: {Hits ground, bounces off, hits ceiling with hollow clang, hits floor again, flies at window {CLANG!} bounces off, creates hole in wall across the way}
Clear Waters: I should have theses conversations in prisons.
Miroku: What's a prison?
Clear Waters: A place where all the walls, windows, ceilings, and floors are metal to begin with. -.-; Well R&R.
