Act II: From Feudal To Future
(Scene: Outside the old well building.)
The cherry bloosoms whispered silence in the wind as Kagome and Inu-Yasha emerged from the small shed on the temple's grounds. Kagome took a deep breath, it felt good to be home. No doubt Grandpa and Sota kept her friends occupied with some excuse, what diesese this time though, smallpox, malaria, or pnemonia? Maybe a nice combo of typhoid and a fever? In any case, she'd have to explain her absences soon.
"I still can't believe the changes that have happened through the years." Inu-Yasha said looking around. "Even the old forest has become a shrine.". He spotted something familiar off to the right, a tree, his tree.
He stepped over to it on the cool now smooth concrete ground. No dirt, so weird. He ran a hand over the rough oak's bark; settling on a hole, the arrow hole. "All these years." He whispered "And the arrow's wound still never healed."
"I know." Kagome said, she had been standing by his side for some time now, just to be near him. "It's like a part of you that's survived through the ages." The wind rustled the tree knocking a few leaves from it. One tangled in Inu-Yasha's hair, she plucked it off and dropped it.
"Kagome, it's good to see you're back." She turned to see her mother carrying a bag of groceries. "And you brought your friend back with you, how nice."
"Is it o.k. if he stays with us for a few days?" Kagome asked. Her mom nodded silently and smiled sweetly, it was good to see Kagome happy; and she wouldn't change it for anything.
"Where will I stay?" Inu-Yasha asked looking away from the tree finally.
"Well, you can sleep with Kagome."
"What?!" yelled Kagome "You have got to be kidding mom!"
"No, not like that." Kagome's mom replied in an embarassed tone. "I mean he can sleep in your room, we can get a spare matress or something." Kagome quickly calmed down and scratched her head looking over at Inu-Yasha.
"What?" He said cooly. "I knew that's what she meant. Jeez Kagome, you take stuff so seriously, try to relax a bit." He brushed his hair back and focused back on the tree. Truth be told, he was a bit flustered too when Kagome's mom said that too.
"Hey, I don't think I caught your name."
Inu-Yasha turned and saw Kagome's mom extending a hand shake. "It's Inu- Yasha." He said shaking her hand.
"Inu-Yasha." She repeated, then she took a step closer and looked at Tetsusaiga up close. "I like the ears and sword, you look just like some sort of warrior. Did you just come from some costume party?"
(Scene: Inside Kagome's bedroom)
So many thing's in Kagome's time, cars, electricity, microwaves, indoor plumbing. Inu-Yasha marveled at a lamp he had found and had tons of fun turning it on and off and on and off.
"How did you trap the sun in this glass ball," he asked flicking the light on once more "And yet still have enough sun to keep the planet bright and warm?"
"It's called a lightbulb." Kagome explained setting up Inu-Yasha's bed. "It's powered by electricity, we use it for all sort of things from radios to televisions. It keeps us warm and makes things bright."
"What's television?" the half demon asked tinkering with the lightswitch now.
"It's...television." She clicked on the t.v. in her room, the old movie channel coming into focus. "See?" An ancient monster movie was on, the wolfman was chasing some hopeless woman through a back alley.
"Hey! Some demon's attacking that woman!" Inu-Yasha said instantly entranced by the glowing metal box. "Look out! He's going to get you!" He began tapping on the screen in a futile attempt to help the doomed woman. "I refuse to sit by and allow this to happen!" He said allowing his claws to extend. "IRON REAVER-!"
"No! Kagome said laughing and grabbing Inu-Yasha's arm before he could take a swipe at the t.v. "No, no. It's just a movie, iy's not really happening. It's not even real, it's just Hollywood."
"Oh, Holeewood." Inu-Yasha said calming down. "So that's not even a real demon either?" Kagome giggled again and shook her head. "This is such a bizarre world..."
"You know, for a half demon who travelled throught time and collects pieces of a sacred jewel to save the world, you're not very open minded."
Sorry everyone for writing again so late after my first. Usually I get a part done in a day or two, dang school and computer though. Thank's to everyone who liked part one, anyone who liked the story can reach me at DarkArtimis@hotmail.com like always. So that about covers it. Here's a preview of "Inu-Yasha's Totally Excellent Adventure" and what's to come.
A love A thought A pain A kiss
All this in: Act III: "Good Night Kagome"
May the ink flow in your favor
