"...So, have you...wait, hold on a second, your, brother just walked in." said Taka holding the receiver of the phone to her shoulder. "What happened to you?" she asked her son.
"Stupiddumbredneck...river.... gator.... stupid people." mumbled Inuyasha. He passed his mother and walked up the steps, his clothes dripping wet.
"Sesshomaru, I have to call you back hon...Yeah...No, he just walked in. He's wet, him and his new friends must have went swimming." Said Taka into the receiver. "Alright hon, I'll talk to you later. I love you." With that she hung up the phone.
INU POV
'Damn stupid southern inbred hicks.' I curse mentally to myself as I began to strip of my wet clothes. "How do you call throwing someone in a river full of alligators an 'initiation' process?" I think aloud to myself. As I finished putting on new clothes I glanced over at my clock. 'Ten o'clock.' I muse again to myself. "Well there's nothing else to do hear, might as well go to bed." I said out loud again. I walked over to my bed that had sometime been put up during the day. It was so hot I didn't even pull the covers over me; I just hit the pillow and fell asleep.
It must have been around midnight when I awoke. I heard something banging against my window. I crawled out of bed and walked over to the window. Opening it, I stuck my head out and looked down. There stood Miroku, Sango, and Kagome. They each had a handful of rock in their hands and were throwing them at the house.
"What the hell do you want?" I cried. Kagome was the first to speak. She walked up closer to the house and looked up to my window.
"Hey, come on down here and come with us." She said.
I quirked my eyebrow at her. "Why would I want to do that?" I asked.
"Cuz, we're gonna let you tip your first cow!" she exclaimed. The other two behind her nodded and smiled.
"Tip a cow?" I said, "What's that?"
The three teens sighed. Miroku stepped forward to explain. "It is a very simple process. Basically, we find some sleeping cows...then we push them over."
"How are you going to push a cow over if it's sleeping?" I asked.
"Cows sleep on their legs buddy." Said Sango. I just stared at them, deciding whether or not to come along.
"Hey, Inu, if it means anything, we're sorry for earlier." Said Kagome. "We were just messing around."
"You threw me in a river filled with alligators! How is that just messing around?" I screamed.
"Oh Christ, those aren't dangerous." Said Kagome. "We've been swimming with those things since we as bout like this." She said holding her hand above the ground about a foot.
I sighed. "Alright." I said. "Just give me a second and I'll be down."
I closed my window and walked over to my closet. I pulled out a pair of shorts and a red tank top. I slipped my shoes on and walked as quietly out my room, down the stairs and out the door as I could.
I walked out to the end of the driveway, looking for the three teens. I stepped out onto the road looked both directions, trying to find any sign of them. Suddenly, out of nowhere a truck came speeding around the corner, headlights flashing in the night. I felt my body go stiff as the truck approached me at a dangerous speed. Not knowing what to do, I shut my eyes as tight as they would go and waited for the slamming of metal into my gut.
But it didn't happen.
All that happened was the screeching of tires, followed by three laughing voices.
"Did you see his face?" asked Kagome through fits of giggles. "He looked like a deer caught in headlights!" she said, still laughing.
I didn't know what else to do, so I just ignored them best I could and started walking back up to my house.
"Naw naw naw, don't go." Said Sango, who had somehow snuck up behind me and was currently pushing me back to the truck.
"Yeah, Inu, we was just pickin atcha." Said Miroku. "We wouldn't never ran you over, lessin you made us mad someways."
"Yeah so come on now, them ol' cows won't knock themselves over!" piped up Kagome as she climbed into the bed of the old truck.
It was a 1942 stander Ford pick up. It was gray and blue, although the colors were faded and ran together. It had only on cab and it was only big enough for two people, a driver, and a small passenger.
Miroku walked over to the driver's side and hopped in, Sango got into the passenger seat and tried to close the door. After a few seconds, she gave up and just held the door closed with her hand that was hanging out the window.
I walked around to the back of the truck. The tailgate wasn't closed so it made entrance easier. Although I think they thought my way was awkward. I guess it was because I ended up sitting on the tailgate, spinning around on my butt and then crawling to the front where Kagome was.
All that effort, and for what? To have Miroku stick his head out the window and say:
"Kag, it aint a'working. You know what to do. Inu help her."
Kagome jumped out the side of the truck and walked to the back. She placed her hand on the back of the tailgate and started to push. After a second she stopped.
"Inuyasha, gitchur ass down here and help me." She said. I walked to the end of the truck and jumped out.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked.
She sighed. "Just push, then when you hear the truck git a goin, jump into the back of it." Explained Kagome.
I didn't say anything; I just did as ordered and began to push the truck. After a few seconds and feet, the truck began to roll. It was then that I heard the engine rev up and start pulling the truck on its own.
Quickly I jumped onto the tailgate with Kagome as the vehicle began pilling away.

It wasn't a long ride to our destination. Of course it seemed that it didn't take long to get anywhere in this town.
The town itself was on one road that was about a mile long. The stores consisted of: One Dollar Store, A Dirt Cheap store, a gas station that was also a movie rental, pizza, and café all rolled into one. It was also a tiny grocery store filled with just the essential groceries such as meat, milk, candy, soft drinks, beer, dog food and a few other odds and ends. There was a tire mart/auto repair station, a barber and salon shop. A bank sat next to a post office, and at the end of the road was a Baptist church with a big old wooden sign that read Hickory Ville Baptist church, and underneath it, it said, "If you aint comin' up in here, then I'd like to know where else I can go to find salvation." Next to the church, on the right, was a cemetery; and on the left, a pet cemetery.
I sighed; it just seemed so impossible that this is where I would spend my life until that glorious age of 18 came rolling along.
After we got out of town, we drove, I guess, maybe a half a mile. We passed dozens of tiny country homes and farms. There were just acres and acres of land that they sat on.
"Wow, these people sure have big yards. How do you think they cut all of that grass? It would cost a lot of money to have someone cut it for you." I said to Kagome, who had been silent, save for the occasional comment to Miroku and Sango who were having an in depth conversation on chicken mating habits.
She turned to me, her blue gray eyes sparkling under the stars. She laughed.
"Inuyasha, these people cut their own grass. You see them big ol' tractors out there?" she said pointing to the giant green John Deer tractors sitting next to everyone's garage.
"Yeah?" I said.
"Well, every Sunday, all the guys 'round here come out after church, cut there grass, then go on into the house for Sunday dinner chicken. You set you watch to it." She explained.
I nodded. A few minuets of silence passed between us as it had for the most part of the ride.
"So, where do you live?" I asked, hoping to start another conversation.
"Oh, I live back a little ways past the other side of town." She said. I was about to say something, when I suddenly felt the truck stop. "Oh, look we're here." She said jumping out the truck.
'Well I wonder how this is going to turn out.' I thought as I reluctantly jumped out of the trucks bed.
