Chapter Two: Psycho Witches and Midgets Galore!
Last chapter...
"HOLY SHT!" Kagome screamed at everything in front of her, mainly the giant cat, causing Shippou to rocket up five feet into the air, and fall back down, now wide awake.
-----
The lady dressed in a taffeta pink dress, laughed again. "Why, I'm Sango, the Good Witch of the North! And this here is Kirara!". As she waved an elegant hand in the direction of the odd cat, she smiled at Kagome, and the girl-from-Kansas couldn't help but relax a tad bit.
Suddenly, one of those tiny little adults scampered up to Kagome and smiled eagerly up at her; she ogled at his odd pin-stripe pants and bright yellow shirt. ((A/N: Excuse me for the cloths, I'm not really sure what they look like..)) He squeaked. Like an excited duck of some sort. "We Munchkins can't thank you enough for killing the Wicked Witch of the East!!" Kagome's eye brow rose in a speculating manner, but nevertheless, turned and followed the little "Munchkin's" finger. And gasped.
There, lying underneath an old house colored bright yellow, were a pair of sparkling ruby slippers. "Oh my!" Sango smiled again, and swished over to the slippers. She knelt down and practically yanked the lovely slippers from a pair of hideously ugly feet. Approaching the bewildered Kagome, she smiled and told her to slip them on. Even more so confused, Kagome obeyed; Shippou eyed them with interest.
The Munchkins rejoiced once more, cheering and whooping, ignoring the starry-eyed "savior" who was absent-mindedly cuddling her little Shippou. Suddenly, the Munchkins shouted "OH NO!!!" all together, pointing at the house that had crushed the Wicked Witch of the East. There, beside it, was an ugly woman, bent over her cane, peering intently at the house.
"Hmmm... No, not there..." she muttered. It seemed that only Kagome had noticed the witch. "AAAAH!!!" It seemed like whatever she'd been looking for was not there... The Munchkins and Sango turned their heads quickly. Sango gave a little smile as she acknowledged the Wicked Witch of the West. "Too late!" the Good Witch announced cheerfully. The other's head shot up, and glared at her. Swiftly, she checked her feet...
'No... Not there... where on EARTH are those ruby slippers that belong to me?! AHA! ...Wait a minute.. Those slippers are on feet... not Munchkin feet, OR the bratty old Sango... Don't tell me that someone else has them!! NOOOO!' But indeed, the ruby slippers had been slipped upon a pair of small delicately pale feet. Kagome's small delicately pale feet!
The witch gave a shrill scream. Her eyes narrowed at the outsider from Kansas... "I'll get you, you pretties!! Don't you worry about it!!!" And within a puff of dirty smoke, the witch had disappeared...
Shippou's eyebrows were furrowed in confusion. He tilted his head and spoke. "What an odd lady!". The Good Witch of the North laughed; the Munchkins soon joined.
Kagome's eyes began to water. "I-I just want to go h-home!" she announced loudly. Sango smiled gently down at Kagome. "But my dear, you can't go, at least not yet!". The only response were wider eyes and more tears.
"You must see the Monk of Oz first!" The poor girl from Kansas blinked rapidly. "The Monk of Oz?". Sango laughed again; "Yes! The Monk of Oz! All you must do is follow the lavender brick road!". Kagome's tears dried almost instantly and she smiled sunnily. "Alright!".
Sango smiled down at her, ((God, Sango's so Glenda-ish.. Xx)) and nodded approvingly. Quite suddenly, she announced that she "must be going". Before anyone could complain ((Probably poor Kagome-chan)) she evaporated in a puff of smoke.
...................................................................
'OH MY GOD ARE THEY SINGING?!?' Shippou and Kagome's eyes were wide open; their eyebrows had hit the hair-line..
The Munchkins had taken their spots about the candy-filled land while Sango conversed with Kagome, and soon began to sing...
"Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch! Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead. Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed. Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go, Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out. Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low. Let them know The Wicked Witch is dead!"
Quickly, the mayor jumped in: "As Mayor of the Munchkin City, In the County of the Land of Oz, I welcome you most regally."
The Barrister shook his head and barged in: "But we've got to verify it legally, to see."
"To see?"
"If she.."
"If she?"
"Is morally, ethic'lly..."
"Spiritually, physically..."
"Positively, absolutely..."
"Undeniably and reliably Dead!"
The Coronor spoke up: "As Coroner I must aver, I thoroughly examined her. And she's not only merely dead, she's really most sincerely dead!"
"Then this is a day of Independence! For all the Munchkins and their descendants!"
"If any!"
"Yes, let the joyous news be spread! The wicked Old Witch at last is dead!"
Again and again they repeated the little song, until Kagome coughed politely.
"Oh!" cried all the little Munchkins. "We must show her the way to the Great Monk of Oz!".
"Oh, I already know! I just wanted to tell you I was going! Good bye little Munchkins!" And with that, Kagome trotted off, ignoring the little spiral circle and getting straight to the road. Whispers and murmurs trailed off in the wake of the ruby slippers: "Gosh, she called us little! The nerve!" "Cannot believe her!" "My lord, did you see that? Skipped the circle completely!" "Such a rude little bugger!" "Good riddance to her I say!"
