A.N: Hello, everyone! Wow, it's been a while, huh? Like, a couple months, maybe? Hee, I'm so lazy! XD Well, not really...o.o; I mean, I am lazy, but I have also been very busy with college and stuff... so yeah...

Anyways... You must be wondering what the heck I'm doing here... just rambling on endlessly... bugging you...being bored...or what? Well, here's the deal: I've received some requests to add humour to my fanfic and, as much as I LOVE funny scenes, it's kinda hard to have them on a Kikyou/Sesshoumaru-centered fanfic, seeing as they're probably the most serious, emotionless and deadpan-faced characters from the whole series...

Kikyou and Sesshoumaru: Hey! We resent that! ;

Sorry...o.o; Anyway, I've spent some time trying to figure a way to have humour in Unraveling Melody... and the only solution I could come up with was this: chapters with parody scenes! XD That's right, people! Every three or four regular chapters I post, you'll have an extra chapter of sorts, in which I'll be taking scenes from the previous chapters and re-writing them in a funny and very Ooc way! That way, I can have some more humour in my fic without ruining the whole plot or the characters' personalities, and everyone will be happy! XD

So now I leave you with the first installment of what I've decided to call "Unraveling Parody". Take your seats and grab the popcorn, kids! XD Mwah!

Normal text: Actual extracts from the previous chapters.

Italic text: Parody based on the extracted scene.

~~**~~Unraveling Parody - Act 01: Chapters 01 to 03~~**~~

===From "Twisted Beginning" ===

"Ah!! Miko-sama is here!!!" -exclaims a cheerful dark haired girl, as she runs toward her.

Kikyou half smiles as the enthusiastic little girl hugs her. Even though hate was supposedly the only feeling she was able to have in her clay body, young children appear to actually get to her soft spot.

"Rin! What have I told you?"

"Um... 'Dieeeeeee!!' ?"

"I, Sesshoumaru, would never say that to you!" - a very hurt demon lord replies, his only hand placed over his heart.

"Well, that's pretty much all you ever say..." - Kikyou mumbles under her breath, glancing at Sesshoumaru from the corner of her eyes.

"Nuh-huh!!" - he abruptly turns to the miko, giving her the innocent-puppy look. - "I, Sesshoumaru, only say that to the bad guys!"

"You're one of the bad guys..." -Kikyou's eyes narrow to two thin slits.

"I am not! I'm a in-betweener!"

"I knew it!" - Inuyasha, who had been hiding behind a nearby bush, comes out, pointing a mocking finger at his older brother. - "I always knew you stood in between the two genders, Sesshoumaru!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh? Sorry, Sesshoumaru-sama…" -Rin replies, letting go of Kikyou.

"May I ask the reason why I was summoned here?"

"Certainly." - At the sound of Sesshoumaru's fingers snapping, the room magically changes into a disco, with a rainbow-colored dance floor and walls, a very antique disco machine and spotlights popping around.

"...Oro?" - the miko tilts her head sideways, her expression looking more than confused. - "What is this for...?"

"Well, you see, my idiotic half brother challenged me for a dancing contest from the 70's...and guess what...?" - he nearly flies toward her and grabs her by the waist, his breath brushing against her face as he leans over. "You'll have the privilege to be my dancing partner... Hah, wait till I rub this in the half-breed's face!!!"

"...I am not going to be a part of this..."

"Oh, c'mon, Kiky, I even chose a perfect song for you! Jakken, music!"

"Right away, Sesshoumaru-sama!" - Jakken presses a button on the disco machine and the song "Staying Alive", by the Bee Gees, starts playing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Then I assume you're also the same miko whom my stupid little hanyou brother had an affair with, aren't you? The one they call Kikyou. Would that be correct?"


"That is indeed my name." -she replies, coldly. - "As for my past with Inuyasha… it's also true, but as I said, it was in the past. Those feelings are no longer."

"Is that so?" -he narrows his eyes at the miko, searching her face for any sign of doubt or confusion.

"It is." -she looks almost as emotionless as the demon prince himself.

"I'm afraid I'm going to need some proof." - He snaps his fingers, glancing over his shoulder at his toad servant. - "Jaken!"

"On my way, Sesshoumaru-sama!!" - Jaken poofs off-scene for a moment, then returns in another poof of red smoke, carrying a huge box over his head. - "Here it is, my lord!"

"The heck...?" - Kikyou tilts her head sideways, a confused look sprouting on her features.

The green youkai drops the heavy package on the floor and, after whiping out a huge sweatdrop off his forehead, he takes random objects out of the box and begins to throw them at Kikyou, shouting in Karate-style. "Hyaaaaaaaaah!!!!!"

"Gah!!" - the miko falls unconscious to the ground, as a huge Inuyasha plushie hits her on the head. A few minutes pass and she finally flutters her eyes open, blinking in surprise as she realizes she's surrounded by Inuyasha pictures, plushies of all sizes and shapes and DVD's featuring said hanyou and herself on the cover, among other things. - "What is this for....?"

"Well, you see, my master wants to make certain that you indeed no longer love his hanyou half-brother." -The toad creature starts, after collecting his breath. - "That way, when he falls for you later on in this story, he won't be heart-broken and..."

"Jaken, shut up!!" - A very flustered Sesshoumaru kicks Jaken in the head, causing the short youkai to fall to the ground, face going first. - "She's not supposed to know that I'll fall in love with her!!!"

"Hey!!!" - A mid-height girl with brown and pink hair tied up in a high ponytail appears in a poof of pink smoke, her reddish-brown eyes narrowing at the demon lord. "You're not supposed to know about that either!! Now I know the reason why my scripts have been 'mysteriously' disappearing from my desk, you baka cheater!!!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

=== From "Never to be Trusted" ===

"Look, Kikyou-sama!" - Rin runs towards the miko, her closed hands coming first. She then kneels before the miko and spreads her fingers open, revealing a diamond-encrusted golden ring. "Look what Rin found!!!"

"That's really pretty, Rin... where did you find it?"

"Rin found it in Sesshoumaru-sama's bedroom!"

"In Sesshoumaru's bedroom..?" - Kikyou blinks in confusion. - "What use could he possibly have for a ring like that?"

Meanwhile, the demon lord is locked in his room, standing before a giant-sized Kikyou plushie. He points his index finger at it and speaks with a commanding voice. - "Marry me, miko!! Hmm..." - He pauses for a second and goes down on one knee before the miko plushie, his voice much softer this time as pleading tears stream down his face. - "Please, marry me, Kikyou..." - He falls silent once again, then stands up and, after dusting himself off, speaks again in his usual emotionless tone. - "Marry me, miko. Hmm..." - He places his index and middle finger on his forehead for a moment, then his eyes sparkle and he starts jumping up and down, his voice as squeaky and loud as that of a valley girl. - "Marry me, marry me, marry me, marry meee!!!!!"

"Hey!!" - complains Mr. Frodo, who was carefully tied up in a corner, moving his legs up and down frantically. - "You give me that ring back!!!!!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Humph!" - Jakken mumbles to himself. - "I don't even know why Lord Sesshoumaru wanted me to watch out for them… That woman seems quite harmless to me…GAAH, WHY MUST I GO THROUGH THIS, LORD SESSHOUMARU???"

"Keep it down, you baka!!" - Sesshoumaru pops out of nowhere and stomps Jakken's face flat on the ground. - "I, Sesshoumaru, told you already why!! I, Sesshoumaru, need you to use that weird machine I, Sesshoumaru, stole from the girl who came from the other world and take some pictures of Kikyou!!!"

"What girl from the other world? Kagome?" - Jakken asks, still under Sesshoumaru's foot.

"No, Miaka. That Kagome girl is too dumb to even bring one of those so that I, Sesshoumaru, can steal it, so I, Sesshoumaru, had to go to a different story and get one..."

"...But why do you need pictures of the miko, Lord Sesshoumaru-sama....?"

"Because I, Sesshoumaru, want to secretly drool over her beautiful image when I, Sesshoumaru, am locked alone in my room!"

"Dude, if only porn magazines had been invented already..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh? Nothing, Rin, I just thought I had heard someone… Well, I think we are done around here. Why don't we go look for butterflies on the other side of this stream?" - Kikyou stands up as she tries to take Rin and herself away from the eyes of that despicable youkai, for she doesn't really feel comfortable about being watched.

"Rin is not allowed to cross to the other side, Kikyou-sama…Sesshoumaru-sama won't let Rin do it."

"Why not?" - Kikyou looks compassionately at Rin's sad face.

"Because Sesshoumaru-sama says that, if Rin gets in trouble there, he won't go to save Rin, because an evil creature lives across this river and that creature scares the hell out of him."

"Oh." - Kikyou looks rather surprised. - "But what kind of creature could it be...? Maybe a strong taiyoukai even more powerful than him...?"

"Nope."

"Um... A youkai stronger than Naraku...?"

"Nope."

"...Myouga...?"

"Nope."

"Then who?"

"Some pop singer called Britney Spears..."

"AAAAAAHHH!!!!" - At the very sound of that name, Sesshoumaru pops up out of nowhere and screams, pulling his hair out. - "Britney, you are scary!!!!! 'You drive me crazy' with your annoying voice!!! Oooh, but I'll be 'Stronger', that I will!!!!!! After all, 'I'm not a girl...'!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

=== From "Distinct Resemblance" ===

At this point, a giant three-headed youkai comes out of the shadows, followed by the loud sound of falling trees, torn apart as it makes his way to the forest clearing, along with Naraku's poisonous insects. On top of the huge creature, a man covered in baboon fur stands, still laughing in a very malicious way.

"Ooooooh, look!!!" - Rin points at the three-headed creature, jumping up and down. - "Rin found a Troll, Rin found a Troll!!!"

"The girl can't even speak right, but she can read Harry Potter..." - A huge bead of sweatdrop runs down Kikyou's forehead.

"Troll??" - Harry Potter magically pops into scene, looking around for said monster. - "Where is it???"

"Oooooooh, Harry Potter!!!!" - Naraku squeals like a little girl, clinging to the wizard's arm tightly. - "We could be scar-buddies!!!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Those who dare to meddle into my business meet an unpleasant end, courtesy of my miasma..." - he keeps on talking, casting a pair of slender eyes upon the miko. - "Except for your new ally, it looks like…"

"What do you want, Naraku...?" - Kikyou shoots a tedious glare at him. - "Don't tell me you've come after me again...?"

"Meh, don't flatter yourself, Kikyou... I have come after the love of my life, but it certainly is not you..."

"Then who is it?" - She blinks in confusion for a second, then gives Sesshoumaru a weird look from the corner or her eyes. - "Uhh..."

"Oh no, my superior beauty has gotten a new admirer..." - He places the back of his hand against his forehead, dramatically. - "How many hearts more will I, Sesshoumaru, have to break...?"

"Who says it's you...?"- Naraku gives him a flat look.

"Then... who is it?"

"Jakken, who else???" - The greasy-haired hanyou's eyes turn into two pink hearts, sparkling wildly as he looks at the object of his affections. - "That little toad is so damn sexy!!!!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We're ready to leave, Sesshoumaru-sama." - Jakken informs his master.

"Can Rin lead Ah and Un this time, Jakken-sama?" - the little girl asks, poking Jakken's back with a stick.

"This is no job for you, girl." -he sounds annoyed, hitting the girl's poking device with his Staff of Heads. - "I'll do it. And stop poking me with the stick!!!!"

"No, it's fun!!!!!" - she giggles, still bugging Jakken with a thin piece of wood. - "Poke, poke, poke, poke, poke!!"

"Poke, poke... Go poke your mom!!"

"Pokémon?" - Rin tilts her head sideways then tosses a half white, half red ball at the green youkai. - "Pokeball, go!!!!!"

"Aaaaaahhh!!" - He screams while a red beam sucks him into the rounded device.

"Wow, who was that pokémon?" - Ash Ketchum pops into scene, pointing his Pokédex at the trapped Jakken.

"Jakkenmon, the toad Pokémon." - the electronical voice comes from the Pokédex. - "This pokémon always carries a two-headed staff around, which is basically the only means he has to fight his natural enemies. His special abilities include loud-whining, babbling-on and ass-kissing."

"Now that is a Pokémon that I, Sesshoumaru, would gladly let Team Rocket steal..."

A.N: So, how do you like it? I hope this can satisfy your thirst for humour and can also serve as an entertainment of sorts until I get a chance to post the real chapter 04. I'm really sorry, but this is probably gonna be my last update for the year, though you can expect the new chapter around january or so. Please, I beg of you to be patient. ^^; Oh, I'll be commenting on the reviews on my next update, alright?

Also, I have a small request. I plan on keep writing more of these parody chapters throughout the whole fanfic, but I'll need you to tell me which scenes you want me to make parodies of, starting from chapter 04. It'd make my much much easier and faster if you could just drop a review on send me an e-mail with your ideas/choices. Please, help a fanfic writer in need...; ___ ; For now, big thanks to my friends Seifer, Shiara and Naki for helping me choose the scenes. You, guys, are the best! ^_^

See you on the next update!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone!!! ^_~
