Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh! Hot chocolate, marshmallows, Rockets, warm fire, home alone with Gravitation and Ranma 1/2~! Oh, what a wonderful night! *sighs happily* And then it gets ruined by a horrible day of more sickness (but better fic) and having to stand outside in the rain for Remembrance day! Gah! It was awful and cold and rainy and I couldn't hear what anyone was saying anyway! GAH!
But back to business. Since I was disastrously ill on Wednesday (I'm okay, really) I didn't get done what I wanted to get done: my thank yous.
I mean after all, without you guys my story wouldn't be the success it is. Every single one of your reviews is important to me and my fragile ego. So now I'm going to get down and dirty and try to reply to any questions or comments you guys may have for me. Not all of them at once. You won't have time to read the story. So I'm going to try to do eight a chapter, four before and four after.
So here goes!
warriorGL: Thanks for offering to help with the doujinshi! Unfortunately I don't have a scanner, or the know-how to make a website, but the scanner is coming in at Christmas and my friends are helping me with the webstuff (although I still don't get it) If you'd still like to help, I'd appreciate it! Again, thanks for the offer! If you'd like, email me with suggestions (email will be at bottom of chapter)
Wizardess Gal: Ditto with the doujinshi pages and problem with scanner, but I have something else that I actually draw on the computer that's for the doujinshi. It's just a simple little chibi picture but it's also kind of a gift for anyone who wants it. Just give me your emails and I'll send it to you! And as soon as I get a scanner and get the doujinshi pages up, I'll notify you!
T'laran: Yes, actually, the two demons are based after Hiten and Maten. When you're ill your creativity dies.
Kyoshi-neko: Okay…
Chapter 9:
Reborn
"That's it three-blood, just die nice and slow now." The demon grinned maliciously as he slowly choked the life out of the angel at the wrong end of the spear. Inu-Yasha was losing consciousness, trying to get some air, feeling the harsh reality of the double-spear head pricking his throat. Spots were dancing before his eyes and the world was getting darker. He had no hope of reaching Tetsusaiga with the demon's foot grinding his hand into the roof of the train and the rest of his remaining strength was leaking out along with his blood in the hole in his chest. Dammit, he thought, closing his eyes and waiting for the end. This has to be one of the worst predicaments ever. He had failed his duty and would now pay for it with his life and Kagome's too. Everything he had strived for would vanish.
Kagome, he thought, I'm sorry….
"Inu-Yasha!" He heard a scream and then a flash of rose-colored energy blasted above him, shining through his eyelids and bathing him with warm light. It was so comforting and relaxing, just like before. He felt the spear leave his throat, the foot get off his hand and it felt as though his strength was returning. The light was such a familiar feeling it was more that then anything that snapped him back to reality. He opened his eyes and sat up to see the first demon clutching an arrow in his throat. The arrow was still glowing slightly with a rose colored energy as it refused to yield to the swearing demon's grasp.
Kikyou? Inu-Yasha thought for a second, his mind traveling back. He glanced behind him to see her. He almost cried out when he saw her standing behind him, her bowstring still quivering from firing the arrow. The rushing wind from the momentum of the train tugged at her long black hair and skirt and Inu-Yasha found himself breathing again. Kagome. Not Kikyou, Kagome. But that power… so soon?
He suddenly remembered and turned back to where the demon had pulled the arrow out, leaving an ugly mark on his neck and lower chin. To the angel's surprise the demon seemed to be studying his face in the reflection of the spear blade. He spat in disgust.
"You ruined my face, bitch." He snarled, readying the staff to throw it at Kagome. The girl seemed to realize the consequences of her actions and she backed up, only to find there was nowhere else to run. The demon raised the spear when Inu-Yasha stood up.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" The angel smiled nastily, drawing his fabled sword. "Never leave a job unfinished!" with a growl he charged the demon, who parried the transformed sword with his spear.
"I don't think I need to worry about you, little puppy." The demon said, and Inu-Yasha felt another stabbing pain in his chest. That's right, the hole. Not to be bested, the dog-eared angel simply smiled.
"You think a little thing like that would stop me?" he asked as sweetly as possible, applying more pressure to the sword. While the demon was concentrating on that the angel fought dirty. First Inu-Yasha delivered a crushing kick to one of the demon's knees, causing his opponent to falter, the he relieved the tension on Tetsusaiga and swung back to punch the demon in the face, planting him in the roof. Before the demon could get up Inu-Yasha sliced him neatly in half and used his sword like a baseball bat, knocking both halves of the train and lost from sight forever. He smiled and put Tetsusaiga back in it's scabbard. "Byebye."
"Inu-Yasha!" He turned around to see the rest of the group recovering from their wounds, the second demon nowhere in sight, although the half-angel had an idea after seeing Miroku fix the beads on his Air Rip. Kagome ran up to him, relief all over her face. "Inu-Yasha, I thought you were gonna die for a second!" she sobbed, getting him in a giant bear hug.
"Eh…" Inu-Yasha looked pleadingly at his companions for help. Sango, Kirrara and Miroku just smiled while Shippo giggled. "Well I'm not dead. Why are you crying?"
Kagome stopped crying in an instant and let go of him. "Ooo…. You-You are such a jerk! Sit!" She yelled, slamming down her angel, which wouldn't really help his wounds much. Inu-Yasha groaned and decided not to get up after that extremely painful episode. He remembered his previous mistake about Kagome earlier. Definitely not Kikyou, he though, wincing. Definitely.
"That really looked like it hurt." Shippo said as Miroku helped the dog-angel up. Inu-Yasha glared at him. "No, really?" he snarled, wiping disgustedly at the blood staining his gi.
"It was just a comment." Shippo squeaked, hiding behind Kagome. The dead girl really looked like she wanted to plant another sit on her angel, but decided not to since that wound really did look painful.
"Well done, Inu-Yasha-sama!" a tiny voice said, and a few seconds and sucking noises later Inu-Yasha slapped his neck, heralding the arrival of Myouga the flea.
"Myouga-ji-san?" Shippo asked, safe in his hideout on Kagome's shoulder. "Where did you run off to?"
"Where else?" Inu-Yasha grumbled, trying to ignore his old mentor. "He always runs away when there's danger. He did it in my grandfather's time, my father's time and every other time. He was probably born running."
"Now that's not true!" Myouga protested.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yes!"
"Name on time you didn't run away."
"Uh…" Myouga paused as everyone looked at him. "Well there was one time when your father tied me to his collar."
"Doesn't count."
"Fine." The flea was starting to look nervous. "Well there was that time with my fia-"
"Your fiancé doesn't count either. And you were running from her too."
"Well…" Myouga started sweating as everyone looked at him expectantly. "What about when I… oh, look at the sun," He began inching off of Inu-Yasha's shoulder. "I must be leaving now…"
"Not on your life, Old Man." Inu-Yasha said, trapping the demon between his two claws.
"Impertinence! Let me go at once!" Myouga cried.
"Make me."
"Ingrate! Child! Lunatic!"
"I'll kill you!"
"Inu-Yasha, SIT!"
WHAM! "Fuck it!"
"Don't use that language either! Sit! Sitsitsitsit!"
"Ouchouchouchouchouch!"
"My, Kagome-sama, that's rather cruel."
"Why thank you Miroku."
*sweatdrop*
Kagura watched the group of them from a safe distance away on her floating feather, keeping in time with the train. Naraku's insects, the Samiyoushi, were with her as well but she didn't need them to fully figure out what was going on and those fools hadn't even noticed her yet. The bugs were just probably here to make sure she didn't run away again. But she wasn't going to stay much longer anyway. She had seen what she came for. Naraku would be pleased.
Smiling to herself she broke off from the train and took her own path to the underworld to relay her news. Everything was going according to plan. It was all working out quite nicely, actually.
It was a good day.
"Inu-Yasha stop moving!" Kagome scolded her angel and then went back to applying the bandage around his middle. Inu-Yasha could help fidgeting; he had always just let his wounds heal naturally before and now his task was treating him like some human hospital patient. He didn't see why she had to fuss over him like this, considering it would heal over soon anyway. This was just a hassle. Not that they were really wasting any time, sitting back inside the stupid train. The angel sighed.
"Oh stop your moaning." Kagome snapped, giving the bandage a tug. She didn't even know why she was doing this. Try to help this jerk and all he did was fight the entire way through. She never wanted to repeat the horrible process of getting Inu-Yasha to do the simple task of taking off his shirt so that she could tend to his wounds. He really was a barbarian, not to mention rude, selfish, foulmouthed, arrogant, hotheaded and a JERK. He did have some good qualities, but in the three days she had known him these qualities have shown up very, very few times.
"There, you're done." She said, giving his chest a pat and her angel winced. Her face immediately changed to one of concern. "I'm sorry, did that hurt?"
"No." Inu-Yasha muttered, getting dressed. Kagome frowned.
"Fine then Mister Tough-Guy. Seeing how I'm not wanted I guess I'll just be leaving now then!" She turned around with a huff and went over to talk to Sango at the front of the train car. Inu-Yasha watched her go, confusion all over his face.
"Inu-Yasha, your charisma certainly needs some help." Miroku said, sitting beside him and snapping the angel out of his reverie. Inu-Yasha glared at him.
"Oh, and I suppose you're better with women?" he asked. Miroku rubbed the red handprint on his face, thinking. "Sango's a bit touchy, that's all."
"You're the 'touchy' one." The angel snapped back. Shippo rolled his eyes. This was going to be a very monotonous argument, and he was stuck right in the middle of it. Inu-Yasha noticed this action. "Oh, and I suppose you could do better, fox?" he asked, grabbing Shippo by the neck and shaking him.
"Kyaa! Miroku!" Shippo wailed as Inu-Yasha shook him vigorously. Miroku tried, in vain, to stop him.
"Now Inu-Yasha, calm down-"
"Shut up lecher."
"Kyaaaaaaaaa!"
"Inu-Yasha! Sit!"
WHAM!
Kagome glared right back at her angel as he took the hint and let Shippo go. The smaller angel quickly ran up behind Miroku and decided it would be best to stay there the entire ride. Kagome sighed and turned around, deciding she was going to ignore the rest of them until the trip was over. "I don't know what to do with him." She sighed. Sango smiled.
"Well, you're only stuck with him for a year. It shouldn't be so bad." She said, petting Kirrara on the head. "And it could be worse. Miroku could be your angel." Both girls shuddered then burst into giggles.
"He groped you again, didn't he?" Kagome asked and Sango nodded. "How'd you guess?" the older girl asked. Kagome pointed to her cheek. "Sango, he had a tattoo." A pause and then more giggling. Kagome fiddled with a piece of string hanging from the back of the seat in front of her. "Boys. Can't live with 'em, can't ship 'em to Mars."
"How true." Sango agreed, then elbowed her friend, grinning wickedly. "Although you did seem pretty anxious to get Inu-Yasha's shirt off."
"What?!" Kagome's face turned red. "I just wanted to clean his wounds and fix him up, that's all. It's not like that!" she shoved her giggling friend. Sango smiled knowingly and nodded, tapping her nose. "Sure, sure." She said and Kagome shoved her again.
Kagome scowled, then grinned her own wicked grin. "Well what about you? You certainly seem to enjoy Miroku's company. A lot."
It was Sango's turn to blush now as she denied everything. "N-no way! He's a groping, lecherous… guy! He's just not as stupid as all the rest of them so he can actually carry a decent conversation, that's all. It's not like I like him or anything!" she shook her head quickly as Kagome smiled. "Really!" Sango protested.
"Let's make a deal then." Kagome said. "I don't like Inu-Yasha anymore then you like Miroku. Deal?"
Sango hesitated, then looked Kagome in the eye and matched her smile. "Fine then. Deal." They clasped hands and shook them, both thinking 'Ha! She does like him!'.
"So," Kagome said, sitting down. "What do you want to talk about now?"
"Wasn't the first conversation fun enough?" Both girls jumped at the sound of Shippo's voice. The chibi angel had wandered over and was now hanging off of the back of Sango's seat. Both girls looked at him, then at each other, then at him again. Then they grabbed him and pulled him into the seat, holding him tightly.
"Shippo, how much of that conversation did you hear?" Kagome whispered. Shippo whimpered.
"Not a lot, not a lot, I promise!" he said, trying to break free of their grasp. "I promise, I promise, I promise!"
"And the stuff you did hear?" Sango asked, looking at him sternly. Shippo gulped. "Why don't you just promise not to tell anyone what you heard, alright?" Shippo nodded. "That's a good boy."
"I won't tell anyone anything! Promise!" Shippo squeaked, jumping back onto the seat. "Promise, promise, promise!"
"He's so cute!" Kagome squealed, petting him on the head. Shippo grinned and jumped onto Kagome's lap to be stroked. Inu-Yasha watched the tiny angel's antics, growling to himself. He decided he wasn't going to be baited by that and he would just stare out the window instead. "Asshole." He muttered.
"Kyoto!" Kagome stretched out after the long train ride. Actually it didn't seem so long after that fight, but the fight itself certainly took a lot out of them. Thinking about it she glanced over at her guardian, who was keeping up appearances good enough, but would flinch every once in a while. Since he was over 400 years old, she guessed he must have a lot of experiences with fighting demons, since that was his job. Or, she added mentally, he's just too proud to let himself be seen hurt.
That description fitted more accurately.
"So where are we going, Miroku?" Inu-Yasha asked, a bored look on his face. Miroku looked over at him in surprise. "Why me?" he asked.
"Because you always seem to know which hotel is the biggest, best and most expensive, and Shippo's the one who gets us the room." Sango explained.
Miroku and Shippo looked at each other. "We're getting a reputation." Miroku mused, while Shippo sighed with frustration. "It's all your doing." The angel muttered. Miroku ignored him.
"Well then, I suppose Shippo and I should start a search then. There's no telling how long we may stay." Miroku said, fixing his outfit. "Sango, would you care to join us? Yours and Kirrara's help would be much appreciated."
Sango flushed and looked over at Kagom, who smiled and pretended not to notice what was going on. Sango looked down at Kirrara, who didn't mind at all. Plus it would be a good chance to get Kagome and Inu-Yasha alone, the feline angel added. Sango smiled slightly at that. She looked up at the awaiting Miroku and blushed again, just slightly. She nodded and Miroku smiled.
"Well then, we'll be going now. Don't destroy any buildings until we get back, alright?" Miroku smiled as Kirrara transformed and he joined Sango, Shippo on his shoulder. Sango smacked the monk's hand away, shooting a warning glare at him. Miroku took the hint.
"Feh." Inu-Yasha watched them fly away, snorting with impatience. "They'd better not take long. This place stinks."
"Inu-Yasha, you think everything stinks!" Kagome sighed.
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Not!"
"Name one thing!"
"Well…" Inu-Yasha paused and quickly looked away. "Well you don't smell bad…"
"Eh?" Kagome froze. She hadn't been expecting that. She stammered, feeling a blush taking over her cheeks. "Well I- uh… thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? I just said you don't stink." Inu-Yasha snorted, then froze, his doggy ears twitching. Kagome swallowed the retort she was about to make. "What is it?" she asked quietly when Inu-Yasha held up a hand to silence her. Quickly and silently he drew and transformed Tetsusaiga and began sniffing. Kagome stood there, not sure whether she should just stay where she was or get closer to her guardian.
Inu-Yasha suddenly turned, growling, sword ready. Kagome backed, up, looking in the same direction he was. She could see the demon, a strange shadowy figure with glowing eyes. Once it realized that it was spotted it vanished into the crowd of people.
"Kagome!" Inu-Yasha turned to his task, who looked at him. "Stay here and don't move, unless your life depends on it. I'll be right back." With that he charged off into the crowd after the demon.
Kagome stood there, half-frozen, half-obeying her task as a fierce wind kicked up around her. She held her skirt down and closed her eyes to the dust kicking up when she felt it behind her. Quickly she turned around but it was already too late.
Cold red eyes stared into hers as the demon in front of her smiled with a delicately painted mouth. Kagome backed up but the demon raised her fan and held it menacingly in front of her, kicking up a powerful wind behind her prey. Kagome shrieked as the blast knocked her forward, and she was caught by the demon, who again smiled darkly at her.
"Good the decoy worked. He left you alone, just like I thought the simpleton would." She looked at Kagome with interest. "So you are she?" she asked slowly, studying Kagome's face. "How homely. Kikyou was much more delicate. You may the spitting image, but darling some makeup will do you good. But still, if you are the Reborn." With that, and a bored look, she took a feather out of her hair and it grew until it was the size of a small canoe. She hopped on, dragging Kagome on with her. "You're coming with me girl."
"Hey!" Kagome protested, but the feather was already in flight. She struggled against the demons grip, but to no avail. "Let me go you witch!"
"I'm not a witch I'm a demon." The demon hissed, silencing her captive. "My name is Kagura. Don't forget it." She smiled more pleasantly after that. "Now, all I need it simple co-operation." She said. "Ah, here's a good spot."
Kagura landed the feather in a small, forested area and got off, dumping Kagome beside her. The feather shrank back to its original size and Kagura stuck it back in her hair. She then turned to the dead girl. "Now... what did you say your name was?"
"I didn't and it's Higurashi Kagome." Kagome said, standing up. The demon smiled interestedly, but still looked bored.
"Kagome. Even a homely name." She smirked, as Kagome fumed. "Now, I need something from you."
"Me?" Kagome asked. "What do I have that you want?"
"The Shikon no Tama." Kagura said, holding out her hand. Kagome looked at her in confusion. "What's that?" she asked innocently. Other then the stupid little glass balls her grandfather sold as charms, she had never hear of the Shikon no Tama.
Kagura looked irritated. "Come now, you don't expect me to believe that, do you?" she eyed Kagome, who took a few steps back. "You really don't know, do you? Fine then," she snapped open her fan and restraints made of nothing but air suddenly clamped onto Kagome's wrists, ankles and throat, tying her to the tree behind her. Kagura stood in front of her, still smiling. "Sit tight. I'm going to tell you a story, little girl.
"One time long, long ago, before even I existed, there was a jewel called the Shikon no Tama. It had the power to grant any demon, mortal or even angel unlimited power to do whatever they wanted. Naturally everyone wanted this jewel but there was only one suited to have it. My master Naraku." Kagome swallowed nervously, not even noticing the sarcasm in Kagura's voice as she spoke.
"Naraku managed to take control of the jewel and created me and my siblings, as well as gain enough power to do what he always desired: complete and utter chaos to the three existences. However a ragtag group of idiots, including your pet's mother and father, managed to take the jewel from him. The jewel was given, for safekeeping, to an angel who had grown up with Inu-Yasha's mother and carried the same gift as her after she died." Kagura scowled, remembering this. "Naraku was killed and my sister Kanna and I, the only remaining of Naraku's offspring, were forced to be kept alive in wait for his return."
"I still don't see what this has to do with me." Kagome said, straining against her bonds. Kagura smiled and tapped her captive on the nose.
"Of course you don't yet, you foolish little human. I'm not there yet. Now shush, I'm telling a story.
"Naraku did come back, approximately 200 years ago. Unfortunately he wasn't as strong as he was when he died, so he needed a little pick-me-up to get his powers going again. I'm sure you know what that little thing was, don't you?" Kagura didn't even give Kagome a chance to answer. "It was the Shikon no Tama. Of course, in order to get it he had to kill the one who held it. Which was Kikyou, of course.
"Now, Kikyou was one of the fourteen Guardians then, you do know what those are, don't you dear? Good. Well, as you can guess that caused a bit of a problem. Guardians are extremely powerful, and even a demon of Naraku's level would have trouble killing one. So Naraku made it easy on himself and, as always, got someone else to do the dirt work for him." Kagura smiled evilly. "He got your pet Inu-Yasha to do it."
Kagome gasped. Inu-Yasha would never kill anyone unless they were trying to hurt him, and if it was someone like Kikyou, a Guardian… he wouldn't! "You're lying!" she voiced her thoughts. "Inu-Yasha would never do that!"
"Well, not consciously." Kagome was really starting to hate Kagura's smile. "He woke up from Naraku's spell shortly after he did the deed. But you don't even know the best part, do you dear?" Kagura studied Kagome's eyes and almost gleefully realized she didn't. "Oh you don't. Well, you learn a new thing every day.
"You see, Naraku could have used anybody, but in order for the Shikon no Tama to be at it's best for Naraku's use it had to be tainted with hate. Which is why he used the three-blood. Who better then Kikyou's own lover to do the job and fill her with hate and betrayal when she died?" Kagura watched with satisfaction as Kagome's eyes widened. "Yes, they were just a little more then friends, if you catch my drift. But the puppy proved to be a little more than we expected, and he was rather angry after he discovered what Naraku did. He fought with my master and managed to get the Shikon no Tama from his grasp. Naraku had it long enough to gain most of his powers, but not all of them. The jewel vanished into a chasm of space and time and we thought lost forever."
Kagura tapped Kagome on the nose again, smiling and showing her fangs. "And now that's where we come to you, dear. You see, you're a special case of human. You're a human born with an angel's soul: a Reborn. You're the Reborn of the Guardian Kikyou, keeper of the Shikon no Tama. Because of this, and the loss of the jewel, the Shikon has actually been Reborn with you. So my orders are to kill you and take the jewel." She raised the fan up to Kagome's neck, the edges gleaming dangerously. "I hope you don't take this personally dear. Orders are orders."
Kagome struggled against her restraints but they wouldn't budge. She watched fearfully as Kagura lifted the fan up, ready to bring it down to slice her neck open. She closed her eyes and waited for the killing blow.
"Kagome!" Inu-Yasha? She thought, opening her eyes again and straining to look up to where she heard her guardian's voice. Inu-Yasha jumped through the trees and tackled Kagura into the ground, demon and angel jumping away from each other. Kagura scowled at Inu-Yasha for foiling her plans.
"I'm sorry, finders-keepers." Kagura said. Inu-Yasha lifted Tetsusaiga, snarling.
"I don't think so." He said, preparing to attack. Kagura looked as if she was about to counter when a strange insect flew by her. She froze, then relaxed and took the feather from her hair. "Sorry dears but I must be going now. However, I'll be back for the little Reborn. Until then, ja." In a gust of wind the feather rose upwards and Kagura was gone.
"Shit." Inu-Yasha growled softly, sheathing his sword and watching her leave. Then he turned his attention back to Kagome, as her bonds suddenly disappeared and she fell forward. Inu-Yasha quickly ran up and caught her. "Kagome! You alright?"
"Yes, I'm…" Kagome trailed off as she met Inu-Yasha's eyes. She suddenly found it hard to look at him. All this time she was the reincarnation, the Reborn, of her guardian's former lover and she had to find this out from a foe, not a friend. Was that why he avoided the subject? Because of how everything ended? She shook herself free of him and took a few steps back.
"Kagome?" Inu-Yasha looked confused, not knowing what was going through her mind right now. "Did she hurt you?"
"No." Kagome shook her head, whispering quietly. "Why…" she could feel the tears blurring her vision. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Tell you what?" Inu-Yasha asked, wondering what had gone on. Kagome backed up some more, not wanting to be near him.
"Why didn't you tell me about the past? About the Shikon no Tama? About Kikyou? About…" it was suddenly hard to breath. "About you and Kikyou?"
Inu-Yasha froze in his tracks. Is that what the bitch had told her? Everything about the past? "Ka-Kagome I-"
She didn't want to hear it. She didn't want to hear anything from him, to even look at him anymore. She couldn't bear it. Closing her eyes to stop the tears that threatened to flow, she turned around and ran blindly away, in any direction as long as it was far. Running as if she could run away from the pain.
Inu-Yasha, not know how else to act, let her go. He slumped against the tree, trying to piece together everything that happened. For a brief moment he almost went after his task, but decided against it and jumped up to sit in the tree, to collect his thoughts. He too needed some time alone.
End Chapter 9
Nyaaaa! That chapter took a lot out of me! And they're getting progressively longer and longer too! What am I gonna do?!
Oh, what a good yet bad day it is. My compu is out of virtual memory, whatever that is, and now I can't watch my Gravitation! Wah! Optimism girl, optimism. I'm gonna get my memory, I'm gonna get my memory. Well, while I'm waiting for that to happen, here's some more of those comments and replies I'm to give to you all!
Naru-Chan: Thanks a lot! Actually I am considering going into animation for a career, and I'm really hoping that with my connections I could get into Japanese animation! Wouldn't that be cool. Unfortunately it's going to take a LOT of work to get into the top college of my choice (-Sheridin-) so I'm seeing if I can do it outside of school too. Which is why I'm working with fan stuff (I also want to be a writer), like this fic and doujinshi. Not only does it raise publicity but also there might be a chance I could get noticed!
Fate: Yes, kill Jaken indeed.
Lonescout: Thanks for the soup! Too bad my immune system doesn't feeling like working much these days…
ArtemisMoon: Ghosts do not use bathrooms. I hope.
Speaking of offers and free stuff I'm giving away, I'm also opening a new business: Ama's House of Bishes. It's like pocket-bishounens.com, only no tests and a certificate! Basically you tell me what Bishonen you want and I'll send you the certificate (I'll need emails if anyone's interested) It's stupid, simple and fun! And yes, I'm selling the guys off of Inu-Yasha. Even Miroku.
Oh yeah, my email is {[ajtabbycat@hotmail.com]}
Well, until next time
Ja ne! (and, uh, solemn Remembrance day?)
~Ama~
(Shippo: "Well I figured the biggest, wealthiest house in town would have a youkai to exterminate by Miroku, so I came here")
