EAT ME

Chapter 2: IM CUTE

By Clarinet Koko

Whee. I planned it on being a one shot, but after the shock of getting more then 5 reviews for a chapter, I decided to write more. Please enjoy the joy of Inuyasha's jolly friends.:)

"INUYASHAAAA!"

As usual, the little twit had arrived just on queue; 3 minutes after the 'Go-Home-Or-You're-Dead-Meat' song had been played through all of Japan.

"Why, Inuyasha, why oh why oh why does she run away all the time?" Shippo sobbed, throwing up the tattered cardboard sign up into the air, which landed right beneath Inuyasha's feet.

He shrugged. "Maybe she has a weird fear reaction to foxes."

Shippo looked horrified at the very thought. "No, no, 'tis not possible! I think she's just shy; I mean, I can totally understand it if she thinks I'm taken already. But can't she just get the hint and take me in?"

The raven haired girl probably had already gotten the hint; it was just unfortunate that it was the wrong kind of hint in Shippo terms. However, it was also the right kind of hint in Inuyasha terms.

"I know!" the desperate fox chirped, looking exciting. "Inuyasha, can you stake out for me? I mean it might make a good comparison- you being so ugly and mean looking and scary and me so adorable and-"

"NO. FREAKING. WAY."

At that, Inuyasha gave a 'Humph' and turned away, thoroughly insulted by the younger demon. Inuyasha was rather sensitive, after all… The famous fox eyes bore huge holes in the dog demons back.

"Puh-weaaaaaaase?"

WHACK!

Crying and wailing and more thumping and whacking were heard from the very weird suspicious building down by the street.

---However…---

Kagome nervously crept through the usual alley way. She should change her route to work; she really should. It was just that this was the only path to work.

And then, she heard the fatal-

…bark…?

Blinking confusedly, she took a look at the place where the usual cardboard box sat. Indeed, the brown box was there, and it had a brand new sign:

'I'M CUTE'

The sign seemed normal, compared to the other… strange… ones.

However, the occupant didn't seem to be quite the same. For one thing, it had grown quite big; even taller then her! And god, was he old? The long white hair sure suggested that. His face didn't seem like it though. It had a rather unpleasant scowl on it and was glaring at her with amber eyes.

Amber…?

And on top of his head were a pair of soft, silky looking…

Ears…?

Good god. She was seeing things now. It was impossible for a human being to own such cute, furry looking white dog ears.

In triggered, she cautiously crept towards the… thing. The thing with delicate looking dog ears. The thing (yes, now it was very much a thing; she was pretty sure it wasn't one of her kind) glared at her harder, his lower lip jutting out just a little.

Now wasn't that adorable!

Before she knew what she was doing, her hand had reached upon his wonderful, glorious, fluffy ears (Much to Inuyasha's horror) and she was enjoying the glorious feel of it.

There was absolute stillness as Kagome continued curiously poking and prodding it.

That only lasted for about 2 seconds, much to Kagome's dismay.

Quite suddenly, as it had happened, the- thing- (it was still a thing) backed away, a low growl in his throat.

Kagome, not quite knowing what to do, simply stood there like an idiot, blinking at the thing.

The thing had apparently gone crazy; he took the brand new 'I'M CUTE' sign and ripped it into shreds. He stamped over the cardboard box that the cute little insane weird fox staked out in until it became so deformed you could hardly tell it was even made of cardboard.

And after that, the thing threw a wary glance at her, growled a little, and went running off.

…How strange.

---Poor Shippo---

His ugly, mean looking and scary sempai had seriously gone insane. Not that he hadn't been crazy before, but still. This Was Not Normal Behavior.

After furiously stalking in, 3 hours before the 'Bullies-and-Gangsters-Come-Out-Now' song, Inuyasha had begun tearing up the old signs that Shippo had used before. Then, he began turning over the furniture- not that they had much furniture anyway- and stomped through the small office, growling at the painting of the fake Mona Lisa.

And then, after the tirade, Inuyasha had grabbed poor Shippo by the cuffs and snarled, "I. Hate. You."

Poor confused Shippo was promptly chucked towards the wall as Inuyasha stormed off, muttering about ears and his 'own personal space' and 'stupid girls'.

It's a little longer then the last one. o.O New signs will come out next. And maybe Miroku and Sango stuff.

The 'Go-Home-Or-You're-Dead-Meat' song and 'Bullies-and-Gangsters-Come-Out-Now' song are, incidentally, the song called 'Yuyake Koyake no Aka Tombo' that is heard all over Japan, at precisely 5 o' clock. It is meant for little kids who play at the park by themselves after school; so they won't stay out too late. A rough translation of the title would probably be 'The Red Dragonfly of the Sunset'. Yeah. Very weird. Don't ask me.
