Laws of the Shikon no Tama
Ch. 2
Memories Uncovered and a Proposal
"So, brother, why did you call us up today? This Sesshomaru does not think that you would tell us all to come without a good reason, especially today." He took note of InuYasha's human form.
"Business like as ever", Kagura snapped, "I don't know how Rin can stand that attitude. Especially that toad." I might want to add that toad was said in a tone that one would infer that Kagura detested this toad. (I have nothing against Jaken apart from the fact that he's extremely annoying.) "Loosen up. It won't kill you if you do, nor will your company fail."
"Yeah Fluffy-Sama," InuYasha smirked as he watched his brother twitch, "And I do have a reason why I called everyone here. Let me get it." The something turned out to be a box that said 'TIME CAPSULE' 'TO BE OPENED 10 YEARS AFTER OCTOBER 10, 2005'
"I remember now!" I couldn't believe that 10 years had actually passed. "We wrote ourselves a note and put it in the box! Open it!"
The box refused to be opened, we tried to cut it, stomping on it, slashing at it, whacking it, yelling at it, throwing it, and kicking it. The idiotic box just remained shut, in fact, it was resilient. Finally Kikyo noticed the note on the bottom of the box, 'IF DESPERATE TO OPEN THIS BOX, TRY GETTING KAGOME AND KIKYO TO SHOOT AN ARROW AT IT' We all felt like idiots, apart from Kikyo, who found the note in the first place.
"Geez," Kouga noted, "were we really that paranoid?" 25 arrows and a Dance of Wind Blades later, the box opened. There were a few pictures and letters. We laughed over the pictures. Little did we know that we would need more of that in the coming days. We got our letters and we started to read them. What I found shocked me.
Kagome, the Shikon no Tama is now found. You and your friends will be tested, Onigumo will return with the jewel. Not everyone is a friend, Kagura will be there when you decide, she can manipulate things, not unlike her cousin. Keep it with you at all costs, or the world will be on the line. The ending will turn out to be happy. On a happier note, don't forget to congratulate Sango and Miroku…
The others had happier notes. For an example, like InuYasha.
If your still alive, I'm guessing that Sesshomaru hasn't killed you yet. Have you found out how to use that rusty stick yet? Father says it's the 'Iron Cleaving Fang', and it was made from the fang of the Lord of the Western Lands of the Sengoku Jidai. It seem like a whole bunch of carp to me. Wait, did I just say carp? I meant crap, I can't believe I lost my pencil….again. That would explain why I am writing in ink, wimpy wolf.
Kouga who was reading over InuYasha's shoulder quickly turned away, but could not help snorting. As for Kouga's note, it went as the following:
Are you and Kagome married yet? And has dog-turd died yet? Does Ayame still stalk you? Don't forget, Kagome is yours.
Ayame muttered, "What a one track mind, the jerk, he is married now, F.Y.I."
Ayame! I'm hoping you're ok. I feel like an idiot writing to myself, in fact I sound like an idiot right now. Is Kouga still obsessed with Kagome? I'm so jealous. How are your plans of being an artist? Work towards the goal!
Miroku's note was also about someone being obsessed.
Hello! How have you been doing? Has Sango fallen for you yet? When are you going to propose anyways? Oh yeah, has InuYasha gotten anywhere with Kagome yet? Not that he'll admit it, but I bet 100,000 Yen that he likes her.
On the topic of Sango…
Hello to myself, that sounds corny, doesn't it? Wait, the English teacher said not to use contractions, but 'does not it' does not make any sense. I mean, why do we have to learn English in the first place? This is driving me crazy. Maybe I should just fail the class. My chances of going to America are really slim, besides, I belong to the spiritual world.
The spiritual world, another one of its members were reading what they wrote 10 years ago.
Just only concentrate on the task on hand when shooting arrows. And memorize all the herbs, they are better than those so called 'medicines'.
Has the Shikon no Tama been found yet? Believe in yourself Kikyo, Kaede said that you have quite a lot of power. Besides, the last person to have the Jewel was also a Higurashi. Fetish objects normally run in families…
While on the topic of families…
By now the Tetsusaiga should be yours, if not, shame on you! This Sesshomaru will not take such disgrace! I think Father did this on purpose to tick me off. After all, I do have no use for the 'fang of healing'. Don't forget, the stock market is bound to rise soon, I mean, 10 years have passed.
"Business like as ever." Kagura announced, and whacked him on the head with her fan, not that it did much damage.
Don't forget, you still owe Kagome a fan, and Kikyo, Ayame, Sango, Yura, Akane, Sakura, and Sana. Have you learned the move 'Dance of the Dead'? The only person to ever master that move was also named Kagura, from the feudal Era. Do you still wear the same kimono? Does Sesshomaru still talk about business?
There was one note that was unopened, it was Onigumo's. Kikyo held the note and asked, "Should we open it?" The others all nodded. After clearing her throat, Kikyo read the note aloud.
10 years huh? Right now it seems like an eternity. So where are you right now? Still in college, trying to get Kikyo's attention, pulling pranks on Sesshomaru along with InuYasha and Kagura? Well, I hope you still remember that one time when we dyed Sesshomaru's hair and the fur thingy pink. Hahahaha. I never did figure out what the furry thingy was. Well, whatever your doing, good luck.
Everyone was quiet, Onigumo had disappeared around 5 years ago. His body had never been found.
…
…
…
A few hours later found them singing. Sango and Miroku were singing, 'Change the World'.
Everyone clapped when they were finished singing. Next up was the Higurashi cousins, me and Kikyo. We sang 'Omokage'.
"What a sad song", Ayame said. When Sesshomaru, InuYasha, and Kouga were pressured to sing, they made excuses.
"I don't sing I croak."
"All the birds will die if I sing."
"The doctor ordered me not to sing." And so forth.
Kagura made the comment that last time she sang, she had broken a few windows in a fit of rage when someone insulted her. Then Miroku stood up.
"I have a very important question to ask Sango." He walked up to her, "Will you marry me?" Everybody held their breath, suddenly Sango whacked Miroku.
"What makes you think that I will?" Miroku looked heartbroken.

A/N: That's the end of this chapter. Questions, comments, flames, or um… anything else, just drop a review or feel free to e-mail me at . I think I'll bring Shippo in on the next chapter. And maybe Soutan. It's really strange. This story isn't even finished yet but I have it's sequel all planned out. Maybe I should get off my bottom and type more.
I think the teachers gave my grade the heaviest textbook as a joke. It made my locker shelf sag down.
The first song was 'Change the World', by V6. The second song was a shortened version of 'Omokage' from Shaman King.
I also re-uploaded this chapter. I didn't like the first version, and this one is only a little bit better.
Food for though: History is a nightmare in which we are trying to awaken.
History repeats it self.
Um… I forgot who said this, but it sure did make me think a lot. Hint Hint. The Jewel does have a pattern.
