Chapter 4

Island Inhabitant

His eyes flickered open, and his cute dog ears perked up. Inuyasha sat up and looked around. He was sitting on a fluffy couch in a small hut house. There was a small kitchen with a pot of boiling- something. The walls were made of a light yellow bamboo and the furniture was simple wood with big fluffy red pillows 'n cushions. Inuyasha walked outside and saw a vast forest beside the house and the (now) calm ocean on the other.

"Morning Inuyasha, did you sleep well?"

Inuyasha twirled around.

"Want some ice tea?" she asked kindly.

"K- Kikyo?" he stuttered.

Kikyo handed him a glass of ice tea with a little red umbrella.

"Welcome to my summer home! I come here to relax and sometimes plan cynical plots to reek terror and utter most kayos on those who I despise." She smiled. "Found yah laying on the beach. I don't know how you got here, but I'm glad you are! I have badminton and-"

" Badminton? Ice tea? Are you ok?" yelled Inuyasha.

"Of course I am Inu- pupsie."

Inuyasha pointed a finger at her.

"DON'T," he yelled "EVER CALL ME INU-PUPSIE!"

"Aw, did I make you angry Inu?" she smiled- almost too happily. "Why don't we talk this over a game of checkers?"

Inuyasha leaped back, and his eye twitched.

"Checkers?!" he yelled in disgust.

"Aw, Inuyasha, do you need a hug?" Kikyo approached him with open arms. "Hugs make people feel better!"

Inuyasha sat up in full terror.

"NO HUGS!"

He looked around. Kikyo was gone, the house was gone, and the beach was- still there. Actually he was lying on the beach with his feet in the water.

"Inuyasha! What the hell are you doing here?" yelled Kikyo bitterly.

She stood on a small hill holding an ice tea, and yes there was a small red umbrella in it.

"Get off my beach and go home Inuyasha! You shouldn't be here!"

Inuyasha smiled, glad to see Kikyo back to her normal self.

"Is this your summer home?" he asked rather knowingly.

Kikyo was stunned for a moment, but not to show it she replied rather quickly.

"Yes, and if you knew this then why are you here?"

He shrugged his shoulders and stood up.

"No reason."

Kikyo fumed.

"Then go away!"

"Fine," he crossed his arms. "if I'm not wanted then I'll go." With his nose high in the air, he walked off down the beach. "By the way, your pot is boiling."

Kikyo hurriedly scrambled into the house.

"CURSE YOU INUYASHA!"
