"Slice!" Inuyasha muttered crazily. "Slice, slice..."
"Is your tummy ache gone yet?" Kaede asked Sesshomaru.
"No... but I can go on," Sesshomaru responded bravely.
"Okay then," Kaede said. "Any idea HOW we'll defeat Shippo? Richard? Carol? No? Well..."
"I have an idea!" Kikyo shrieked. "We'll serve him a meal, right? And we'll put it on a placemat! Only our society can stand such treatment!"
"Great idea!" Kagome yelled. "Purified placemats, woohoo!"
"Okay, cool," Kaede said enthusiastically. "Naraku, have you finished your placemat weave you started last week?"
"Yes," Naraku said brightly. Then realization dawned, and he yelped, "I don't want to give Nancy up! Nooo!"
"You have to," Kaede said harshly. "What's more important, Nancy or the Placemat-no-Tama?"
"I guess... I huess the Placemat-no-Tama," Naraku sighed, tears welling up in his eyes. He tragically took a placemat out of his pocket, and handed it over. It was bright pink, with purple polka-dots. "I'll miss you, Nancy..." Naraku mumbled, his lower lip trembling.
"Good," Kaede said. She took the placemat and handed it to Kikyo. "Go ahead, do your purification thingy."
Kikyo nodded, and touched the placemat gently. "Whoa," Kikyo commented. "That was one evil aura. Naraku, did you have spaghetti again?"
"I had it with meat sauce," Naraku replied. "I thought that would be okay..."
"Anyway," Kikyo continued. "Sesshomaru, Jaken, can you get me some of those walnuts? We need food, after all."
Jaken nodded, and led the blubbering Lord of the Western Lands away.
"Now. We need... a centerpiece," Kikyo instructed.
"Ooh! I have a great idea!" Kagome yelped. She whipped out her bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at Sesshomaru's retreating back. It nipped off part of his fluffy, and Kagome ran and retrieved it. Sesshomaru was bawling now.
"Good idea," Kikyo said, sticking the fluff on the placemat. "Now, we just have to wait for Sesshy and Jaken."
Two hours later, the duo returned, laden with armloads of walnuts. Kikyo arranged them on the placemat, and they were ready to go.
"Alright, I'll take the food to that rock over there," Kikyo said. She crept away... without the placemat.
"Wait!" everyone yelled, but Kikyo, who was doing the moon walk, ducked behind a bush and put a finger to her lips.
"Idiot..." Inuyasha grumbled. "I'll take it, then."
But unfortunately, he forgot the placemat also. As did everyone else, except for Kaede. It was an amusing sight, everyone oblivious to each other, moonwalking toward the rock.
"Doh..." Kaede snapped. She ran toward them, but suddenly...
To be continued...
