Chapter 05
Lee's Quest and Inu-Yasha's Attitude
[Scene: On the way back home , Inuko, Kotaku, and Kita all participate in the making of the "Strongbad Techno Music."]
Inuko: Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun…
Kotaku: The System, is down! The system, is down, down! Dun, dun, da-da, da-dun-dun-dun…
Kita: Dancing Robots…. Dancing Robots….
[Everyone else sweatdrops at the impromptu music and Kagome shakes her head. Inuko's arm is bandaged (they had obviously been to the hospital), and keeps his mind off things by joining in.]
Inuko: FOOTBALL!!!
[Inu-Yasha remains quiet, arms crossed and looking slightly annoyed. Kagome's gaze finally shifts to him, and she looks slightly worried. When they get back home, Kagome opens the door and lets everyone in.]
Kagome: Well, it has been interesting, hasn't it?
[Everyone walks by her into the house. Inu-Yasha gives a look towards Kagome with a "blah" stare.]
Inu-Yasha: The S is for sucks. [He walks by inside. Kagome sweatdrops.]
Inu-Yasha: [He sits down and mumbles to himself.] I should have been able to take her. I can't believe after I got dragged here, the same shit happens
Kagome: Inu-Yasha please… [She says this in a half worried/half annoyed tone.] Lee is going to try figure out what they were after.
Inu-Yasha: [Outbursts.] I was thrown in a damn garbage can!
Kagome: [Puts her arms around his neck.] I'm worried too. I really thought that moving here would give us a peaceful life. [Pauses] … but we've gotten through this before Inu-Yasha. Besides, I do have a little good news.
Inu-Yasha: [Grits his teeth.] What?
Kagome: I just saved 15% percent on my car insurance.
Inu-Yasha: [Taken aback by surprise.] So?
Kagome: [Sweatdrops] You don't get it, do you? [Inu-Yasha just stares at her.]
Miroku: [He clears his throat] Well, Kagome is right, we know we are fully capable of handling situations like this.
Sango: [Leaning against the wall.] In my village, we were taught to slay demons as soon as we were able. But in this new time, I didnt think there would be a need to teach Kotaku. [Miroku gives Sango a reassuring glance, and she smiles]
Lee: [She comes in from the kitchen with a cup of coffee] I'm not sure what is on that tablet. Its definitely not English and its sure not Japanese. Its not any language I recognize. [She sips her coffee.] I'm going to have to do some research, but I think I'll be able to crack it.
Miroku: *nods* Until then, we should be on our guard..
Sango: Kagome, you wanna go watch TV?
Kagome: [Kagome nods to Lee regarding her researching comment and looks back to Sango to respond.] Sure...
[Kagome stands up and begins to walk out with Sango. Kagome is stopped by Inu-Yasha.]
Inu-Yasha: Wait, Kagome? [Quite meekly, for once.]
Kagome: [She pauses for a moment in the doorway.] Yeah?
Inu-Yasha: What insurance provider do we have anyway?
[Kagome shakes her head and leaves.]
Inu-Yasha: What?

[Scene: Later some kids are seen playing at the park. A car passes them, and a closer shot shows the car driving for a bit, then passing by the house. It stops there, and the window is rolled down. It is Natsuko you see in the car, with sunglasses. She looks at the house for a minute and speeds off. Not but a minute or so later, Lee walks out of the house.]
Lee: Kagome?
Kagome: Yeah?
Lee: I'm going to be leaving for a while. I know someone who might be able to help.
Kagome: Ok, take care of yourself.
Lee: [She gets in her car and starts the ignition, thinking to herself.] I have no idea how I'm going to do this ...
[Lee drives off. She arrives at, of all places, Sho Electronics. She goes up to the third floor, a familiar setting. She looks to Rin, who was walking by with an empty dessert cart. Lee goes to knock on the door.]
Rin: One moment, miss, you will have to schedule an appointment.
Lee: My business is time sensitive. [She knocks on the door again, still nothing.] I know he's in there [Goes to knock again but this time, she hears a reply.]
Sesshomaru: Come in.
[Lee walks in quietly.]
Sesshomaru: A pleasure to see you again, Miss Higurashi.
Lee: Yeah, well...I read in last month's Big Enterprise that you like collecting almost everything from the Sengoku-Jidai. After realizing that you are the older half brother of my cousin's husband, it makes perfect sense.
Sesshomaru: [He raises a brow.] … and the reason for your visit?
Lee: [She shows him the tablet] Someone from your era seemed interested in what ever this is. In your extensive collection, perhaps you have seen something similar?
Sesshomaru: [He studies it.] This may be from my era, but not from my homelands.
Lee: I see. Well, it was worth a try. [She starts to take it back but Sesshomaru holds on it.]
Sesshomaru: I can probably find out for you - but why do you want to know?
Lee: That same person who wanted this is after Inu-Yasha. I have a feeling this information will be crucial in the near future.

[Scene: The messy kitchen. Inu-Yasha is seen reading the newspaper, the headlines saying Saddam Caught.]
Inu-Yasha: I wonder what that guy did …
Inuko: [Speaks in a mocking voice, seeming to respond a bit on Inu-Yasha's muttering to himself.] Hi I'm George W. Bush...leader of the free world, and when the world says no, I'm like...Whatevah!!
Inu-Yasha: [He puts down the paper with a strange look to Inuko.] What?
Inuko: [Looks off.] nothing
Inu-Yasha: Whatever. [He seems distracted]
Kita: [Snickering.] Don't worry about it, bow wow. [Inu-Yasha doesn't even respond.]
Kita: [She blinks.] What's wrong?
[Inu-Yasha sets the paper down and walks outside. He starts a training session for himself and seems to be doing rather well, but when he goes to punch a tree, but finds he can't make a dent in it. On top of that, it hurt. ]
Inu-Yasha: OW! Damnit! [He slumps down beside the tree.] I haven't fought in so long! What's wrong with me?
[Kagome, who had been watching Inu-Yasha for a while walks outside and sits near him.]
Kagome: Hi.
Inu-Yasha: What do 'you' want?
Kagome: [Gets a little irritated.] I'm trying to make you feel better all day! Work with me!
Inu-Yasha: [He looks off.] I'm not sure if I can fight anymore. It's like... I'm not even a demon.
[Kagome tweaks his ears and lightly pinches them.]
Inu-Yasha: [He narrows his eyes.] What was the point of that?
Kagome: You still feel like a demon to me. I'm sure you were just having a bad day.
Inu-Yasha: [He smiles at Kagome] Maybe...[He is about to kiss her when he notices Kotaku, just standing there, watching.]
Inu-Yasha: You got a problem?
Kotaku: [He shrugs and sits down with them.] It's a nice day. Can I sit with you guys?
Inu-Yasha: Can't you see we're kinda busy?
Kagome: [Sighs.] Its okay, Inu-Yasha, he can stay. [She makes bright smile, puts her arm around Inu-Yasha and looks at him lovingly.]
Inu-Yasha: [Moves her hand.] Sorry, the kid just ruined the mood.
Kagome: Inu-Yasha!!
Kotaku: Heehee.
[Kagome glares at Kotaku, and he scampers off.]
Inu-Yasha: Ok, you just look at the kid and he leaves, yet they wont listen to a damn thing I say..
Kagome: [Shakes her head.] Dont worry about it, we're alone again..
Inu-Yasha: Yeah, well now I got things on my mind. [Walks off.]
Kagome: [In a softer, worried voice.] Inu-Yasha... [She sighs and goes back inside. She crosses her arms and looks around the house.] I might as well get started.
[Kagome begins gathering junk from various areas of the house and putting some things in boxes. The exception of this "clean up" is of course, the study, which remains untouched.]
Kagome: Its great to be able to finally get rid of this stuff..
[Shippou walks in, Kagome smiles in greeting]
Shippou: Hey Kagome, what you up to?
Kagome: Well I've put off this yard sale long enough, rain or shine, I'm going to get this done.
Shippou: [He starts helping her.] But Kagome, we just moved... and we are getting rid of stuff already!
Kagome: Yeah. It's the perfect time for it. Getting rid of the old and going on with the new.
Shippou: [He puts on his winter hat.] Its gunna be snowing soon Kagome, I heard so on the news.
Kagome: [She is still sorting and shifting while Shippou speaks.] Really? When the snow comes, maybe we can go on an outing. I find the city particularly beautiful when it snows..
Inuko: [He walks in the doorway.] Hey.
Kagome: Hey, Inuko, glad you are here. You are just in time to help me sort through this stuff for the sale. [Smiles some.] I'm so glad that I have such a giving and generous son.
[Shippou plops some stuff in his hand. Inuko reluctantly helps, and begins sorting through stuff. He also begins picking up some random things from around the house that are obviously for sale, but also, avoids the study room. After about ten minutes he speaks again.]
Inuko: Mom can I go yet? I am injured you know. I need my rest.
Kagome: Oh, you weren't injured enough not to play any of your games...to talk to your friend on the phone for an hour, or search this house in record time for food.
Shippou: Yeah, and hands off my stash of ramen!
[Inuko glares.]
Shippou: [He turns on the stereo's radio.] Let's see if there is anything going on with the weather.
Inuko: [Turns to Shippou.] Lee told us not to expect anything...she said it didn't snow much around here.
Radio: News Channel 3 just reported that snow will fall tomorrow morning, schools are already preparing for a possible delay or cancellation.
Inuko: Yes!!
Kagome: They said "possible" Inuko, "possible"
Inuko: [Calls out to Kotaku.] We might have a snow day tomorrow!!
Kotaku: [Calls back] Snow day!! [Runs out to them, all cool.]
Kagome: [Sighs.] Kids...
[Kotaku cheeses, but then Sango comes from behind and pushes him gently towards the box.]
Sango: Why don't you help Kagome sort?
Kotaku: Moooooom!!
Sango: Well if you two are going to spend all day playing around tomorrow, the least you can do is help out today. [She puts an arm around him and hugs him, then walks out, with a slightly saddened look.]
Kagome: [Thinking to herself.] I hope Sango feels okay...she hasnt been all to happy since Shaquita came
Inu-Yasha: [He was still chilling outside when Lee's car pulled up. He stood up and approached her car.] Hey Lee..what did you find out?
Lee: I'll tell you as soon as I find out Inu-Yasha..
Inu-Yasha: [Thinking to himself I have a feeling that we are going to be seeing a lot more of our new "friends" [He looks up at the sky.] I don't need this..
Lee: You can't stay over here all day... If I figure correctly, Kagome will want you inside for a moment.
Inu-Yasha: Since when do I take orders from her?
Lee: When she says sit … [Lee shrugs and walks inside.]
Inu-Yasha: Eh … Well ... I wonder what she wants... [He walks in and Kagome smiles as he enters.]
Inu-Yasha: Well what did you want?
Kagome: [Hands him a box of junk.] Help me sort for the garage sale?
Inu-Yasha: What... Lee! I thought she needed me for something important... How did you know how... [Grits his teeth.]
[Lee just smiles at Kagome and walks out of the room, making a cellphone sign on her fingers to Inu-Yasha. Kagome: smiles back at her and Inu-Yasha rolls his eyes.]
----
[Scene: The next morning, when Kagome goes outside to start setting up the garage sale, she sees it has snowed.]
Kagome: … it's beautiful… [Steps outside. The snow is only about 2 inches deep.] Eh?
Inuko: [Yells inside the house.] Mom! Mom! I heard the weather reports last night and I heard there is gunna be a ton of snow! [Runs out the open door into the 2-inch thick snow. Inuko and Kagome both look at each other.]
Inuko: I don't get it.
Kagome: Neither do I.
[They both sit on the step looking out at the flurries when Shippou pops in, holding the radio on his shoulder.]
Radio: Because of the weather conditions school has been cancelled. The roads are still being worked on, and there has already been two hundred major accidents this morning, with more coming in. Due to the weather, I would advise that you stay inside unless you absolutely have to leave. The exception is of course, if you're from ECPI College of Technology, both Newport News and Virginia Beach campuses, you have to come right on time!
Kagome: Right...
Inuko: I'm going back to bed.
Shippou: Me too.
[They all go back inside.]
---
[Scene: Garage Sale at the yard. It has snowed, but there is quite a crowd at the yard sale. It seems to be a lot of neighbors out.]
Kagome: Maybe I should've waited till warmer weather...but the weather is so wacky around here...I can barely plan around it. [She sighs.] Well its been advertised enough that people have come.
[Inu-Yasha sips a cola, completely bored.]
Inu-Yasha: A outdoor sale in the middle of the cold and a supposed storm that is about as powerful as a Disney snowglobe. Why in the hell am I here? [Hooks at all this stuff at the table, thinking.] At least Im able to get rid of some of this junk that was piling up… Old sweaters. [He picked up one, looking at it.] Man, Kagome can't sew..
[A buyer walks up and begins looking at the clothing and other items.]
Buyer: Hey, how much for all this?
Inu-Yasha: Eh..I don't care.. a dollar? 50 cents? You can have it for free if you want...
Kagome: [She sees what he is selling out of the corner of her eye.] Inu-Yasha! [She grabs the sweater.] This was the first thing I ever made you..!! And look at all this stuff! I never told you to sell any of this!!! [Kagome grabs it, throws it in a box, and storms inside.]
[Buyer sweatdrops.]
Inu-Yasha: Heh... Well, I'd give it away, but my wife won't let me.
[Everyone facefaults.]
Inu-Yasha: What.... What did I say this time?!?
