A Kidnapping

Me: I'm just wondering....but does anyone actually READ the author alerts? -.- I have more damn people on my author alerts then the people who added me on my favourites and every....update....getting.....less....reviews.....
Inuyasha: She's only pissed off because her disk won't work and she had her original fictionpress on there and it was written out. Her birthday fic was on there too but luckily she uploaded it before the disk wouldn't work.
Me: My birthday fic was 19 pages long! I'm not giving THAT up without a fight!
Oh and does anyone know how to get anime crossovers in a category? -.- Then I don't have to worry about losing my damn birthday fic!

"Naomi!" Noku called the next day during school. "Hey! Naomi!" she walked over to her and grabbed her arms. Naomi spun around.
"What is it?" she asked bitterly.
"What was up with yesterday?" Noku demanded. "You were fine in rehearsal! And you did fine in the first part? So WHY did you sing and run?"
Naomi pushed her hand away. "I don't want to talk about it." She said coolly and kept walking.
But Noku went in her way again and slapped her across the cheek. Naomi dropped the books she was carrying and rubbed her cheek.
"What the hell was that for?!" she yelled.
"Because something's wrong." Noku said, walking around Naomi.
Naomi stared at the ground with her hand on her cheek. "I-I don't know what you're talking about."
"But I think you do." Noku said suspiciously. "I think it had something to do with you looking out in the crowd so anxiously."
Naomi felt her face turn red. "What? No...."
"Yes." Noku said darkly. Then she moved her face by Naomi's and stared her right in the eye.
"I think I know." She said softly.
"You do?" asked Naomi, blushing.
"It was because Inuyasha wasn't there – wasn't it?"
Naomi widened her eyes. So she had figured it out. (Me: If you DIDN'T do what you're supposed to and read the first story: A New Life, then you wouldn't know that she introduced her family to Inuyasha! Go back and read it! Go GO GO! This story's not going anywhere!)
"Wasn't it?" Noku said. "Answer me Naomi."
Naomi paused. "Yes." She said quietly.
"Oh my GOD!" Noku yelled. "You let a guy get you down and screw up your part? Then screw up the play?"
"But." Naomi said.
"But what?"
"I told him to come." She said. "I told him this meant a lot to me. And he did come! He really did!"
"So when you saw him you decided to leave?" Asked Noku, raising an eyebrow.
"Just leave me alone okay?!" Naomi said stomping away.
"Oh wait! Naomi!" Noku called, running after her.
"Yeah?" asked Naomi. "What?"
"I had to tell you something." Noku said. "Since the play 'wasn't at its best' quote Juraku-san, there's going to be another one. And he really wants you to get your act together. He doesn't blame it all on you though. Everyone did a lot of screwing up during the second half."
"So I get a second chance?" asked Naomi.
Noku nodded. "Just don't mess up okay? For us? You're friends?"
Naomi sighed. "Okay."
Noku smiled. "That's good. So rest up. It's a 5 days weekend so practice makes perfect okay? The plays going to be in 2 weeks. Juraku-san says that's plenty of time to polish up the mistakes."
"Okay Noku. And thanks for talking with me."
"Yeah." Noku said, walking away and waving goodbye.
Naomi widened her eyes.
That's right! A five-day weekend. This will be good.
Naomi went over to the Higurashi temple, then jumped inside the well.

When Naomi was on the other side, she went to look for Inuyasha. Sango, Miroku, anyone.
"Oh!" Naomi said. "Sango!"
The taijiya girl spun around to see Naomi and smiled. "Naomi-chan." She greeted.
Naomi ran by Sango's sighed as they both sat down on a large tree stump.
"I heard." Was all that Sango had said.
"Oh." Naomi said lowly. "Well, I'm getting a second chance at it. And maybe you can all come."
Sango nodded. "That might be fun to watch."
Naomi nodded, then looked up at the sky. The sun was already setting. Colour mixes of pink, purple, yellow, orange and blue painted the sky.
"I think I'm going to stay in this time for the weekend." Naomi sighed.
"What's....a 'weekend'?" asked Sango.
Naomi sighed and shook her head. "Never mind. Not important." She looked around. "I left my sleeping bag with Kaede-sama right?"
Sango nodded.
"Okay." Naomi said, looking up at the sky, which was getting even darker. "Let's set up camp."
#%#%#%
Naomi sighed. She looked around and saw that everyone else was asleep. Sango and forced Miroku to sleep away from him. Or else who knows what he could have done. She looked over at Inuyasha.
His intention was good, she thought. I just wish he didn't miss it. But I guess I can't let it get me down. Noku's right. I'll just do better for the next one.
She looked at the camp fire and could feel the heat on her face. It felt good. She watched the swirls of yellow, red, and orange and the sound of the fire wood crackling made her feel calm inside. While listening to these soft crackles, she fell asleep.
#%#%#%
A shadow lurked through the bushes. The moon light was faint, but you could see a shadow from the camp fire that was ahead of him. The shadow looked over at the four people sleeping around the fire.
No one knew he was here. Not even his own companions. He was going to make this short – and sweet. No, that was stupid. Even for him. Very short. That's all how he could put it.
Suddenly, second thoughts surrounded his head.
Why am I doing this? He wondered to himself. Am I that desperate?
To clear my name. That's right. To clear my name.
The girls breathing was soft and steady. There was a certain glow to her face that came from the fire.
But the fire went out completely as a swoop of wind came past her.
And she was gone.
#%#%#%
Me: Okay! So I'm going to start a story soon after I'm done this one. I've narrowed it down to these ones.
1 – Tea Tater: About a Tea bashing one! I've decided I hate that name, so in the future I'll call her Anzu, cuz the Japanese versions good too.
2 – Brotherly Love: Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were both parentless so that left Sesshomaru at the throne. He then sacrifices himself to save his little brother. Now that Inuyasha learns a secret, he finds himself biting off more than he can chew. Will he make it through or will his brother's sacrifice be in vain?
3 – 40 Days and 40 Nights: WHOOO!! Miroku's given up lechery for 40 days and 40 nights!! Can he handle it? Or will his perverted side get the better of him?
4 – Back in Time: Rin and Sesshomaru get in an argument, so Rin uses a jewel shard to age herself to gain Sesshomaru's respect. But what happens when respect turns into love?
5 – The New World: Kikyou had suffered from a memory loss and can't remember a thing. She has so many flashbacks, and using these flashbacks as clues, she must find out who are her friends, and who is out to get her.
