What Really Happened With: The Ring
Chapter 2: Don't Answer the Phone
"Really, who calls for pizza at 10:00 at night?" Kagome cheeks were flushed with embarrassment.
"How knows..." Inuyasha responded, feeling slightly stupid, himself. Ashamed of it, he walked into the kitchen to check the time. The clock ticked slowly, reading 10:30. With a deep sigh of relief, the half demon walked back into the den.
"Humph, 10:30." He spoke, rather imprudently.
The three nodded. But, just as they were about to put another movie on...
RRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!
"Not again!" Kagome huffed.
RRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!
"Maybe he wants more pizza." Sango suggested.
RRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG!
"I'll just answer it." Kagome walked over to the phone receiver, without a care in the world. She put the phone to her ear, and began to speak. "Listen pal, I know you wanted a pizza, but this isn't-"
"7 days," someone whispered, eerily.
"Par-pardon?"
"Sev-en day-ys"
"Sorrywrongnumberbye!" Kagome said, as if it were one big word. She threw the phone across the room in fright.
"Don't tell me-" the dog's eyes grew wide.
The miko nodded.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!
"Let me handle this!"
"Inuyasha, if something is truly scary, then we are no match for it. It's irrational, it's impossible, it's against my religion V.V.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!
"Shut up, Miroku!"
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!
"Feh, hello?"
"7-"
(click)
"Take's care of that"
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!
"What the hell is it, now?"
" 7 day-"
(click)
"Gods, that woman doesn't give up!" Inuyasha growled.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!
"WHAT?!?!" Inuyasha yelled into the phone.
"Would you stop hanging up on me?!?!"
Inuyasha walked over to the couch and sat cross-legged on it. "Oh, I'm sorry. How terrible rude of me. Here, let's talk.
(Sango, Miroku and Kagome scratch their heads)
"Thank you. Now, it is to my understanding that you have 7 days to li-"
"We're breaking up," Inuyasha held a candy wrapped to the speaker.
"What you mean, we're breaking up?!?!
"Hey, kid...I can't hear you!"
"But, but-"
(click)
"Haha! Let's just see if she calls back!"
RRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!
"Leave us alone, dammit!"
"You have 7 days, whether you like it or not! Deal with it!"
"You were supposed to call a half an hour ago!"
"I HAVE a life, you know!"
"Doing what?!?! Stalking people so you know they watch your tape?!"
"NO!"
"Then what is it, woman?!"
"I was hanging out with the boogie man, and the phantom that lives in the opera! It is Halloween, for cryng out loud! Count Dracula gave us some nice fruit punch to drink at our party!"
"Party my A--!"
Everyone: O.O
"Don't curse at me!"
"I'll curse whenever I want to, wench!"
"The mummy's returning from the bathroom now! I gotta go! Gotta go right NOW!"
"To the bathroom?"
"...yes."
"Wait! I'm not finished with you yet!"
"I'll call back."
"eh...okay."
(click)
"INUYASHA! Why'd you tell her to call back?!" Kagome squeaked.
"Dunno, seemed like a good idea at the time."
Ten minutes later
RRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!
"That took long enough!" said Inuyasha.
"I'll talk to her this time!" Miroku picked up the phone calmly, "Hello, miss!"
"Cut it with the nice stuff! 7 days!"
"Now, now, let's be reasonable."
"I gave you a half hour of peace! What more do you want?!?!"
"To live."
"Oh, sure, you had to say that!"
"Afraid so."
"What don't you understand!!!? 7 days!
"All right, all right."
"..."
"
....Does holidays count?"
"No-wait, depends, what holiday?"
"Will you bear my child? day!"
Sango: (vein pop)
"Prevert!"
"Yes, I am told that a lot."
"You people are getting on my nerves. Either 7 days, or I'll come over there and kill you myself!"
"You don't understand! In time, I will be sucked into the empty nothingness of my own hand!"
"Well, too bad for you!"
"Infuriating woman!"
(click)
"I think I got somewhere with her."
"Yeah, houshi, you sure did." Sango fumed.
