I have been a very neglecting author. I know that.
I have been so neglecting, in fact, that yesterday my friend asked me how my fic was going, and I was basically, "Huh? Fic? What the heck are you talking about?"
Yep. I'm a baaad author.
Tee-hee.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.
Chapter #16
Okay…maybe "collapsed" is a bit too strong of a term. But that's what it felt like. One minute Kagome was leaning over a dying Inuyasha, and the next everything was dark.
Well, duh. Sure it was dark.
It was night.
But all the candles lining the garden path went out, all the lights from the castle flickered into darkness, and there was just nothing after the earthquake (or whatever that had been) passed.
Inuyasha had been flipped over onto her stomach.
He was such a cutie. A dieing cutie.
Kagome had to do something! Yes, she had to find a light, get back to the castle, and save Inuyasha!
Sitting up excitedly, she threw her arms around Inuyasha.
"Common, Inu-baby! I'LL SAVE YOU!" Throwing the limp boy over her shoulders, Kagome stood up. "Whew. I sure am strong."
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" A muffled voice asked.
"Inu-baby?"
"No pet names, please."
"Sorry. What happened?" Kagome ducked her head as the bright kingdom lights came back on. "Inuyasha?" She set him down. "Inuyasha…" Kagome noticed an odd glow about his fuzzy ears. "What's tha—"
!!!POP!!!
He was human.
A very gorgeous one too, with black hair and brown eyes and all that profanity streaming from his lips.
"KAGOME! What the (censored) were you thinking? That (censored) son of a (censored) could've hurt you! You could've died! (Censored) those freaks. What was up with the killing of me? (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored) (Censored)! Jeez."
"I was under a spell." Kagome shrugged, and then hugged Inuyasha. "Go figure."
"Idiot." He grinned.
Kagome frowned, and pushed Inuyasha away. "The spell? The spell! Where'd Kikyo and Naraku go?"
"Part of the curse, I guess." Inuyasha tried to put his arms around her. "Can't we just go back to the huggles?"
"No. We need to get back right now." Kagome looked up at him stubbornly. "We need to make sure everyone's fine."
"You're worried about the shaking?" Inuyasha raised his eyebrows. "That was just Kikyo returning to hell. 'Cause of the curse and everything. Huggle?"
"No. What happened to Naraku?"
"Dunno. Didn't even know he was evil. How about now? You know you want a huggle." Inuyasha swept up Kagome in a very romantic-y type scene.
"But what about Naraku?"
"Well, Kikyo wanted to drag me to hell. Maybe she took him instead."
Kagome's eyes got all big and watery and worried-looking. "You sure?"
"Nuh-uh."
Kagome bopped him on the head.
"Moron."
"Idiot."
"Freak."
"Wench."
"Creep."
"Bitch."
"Dog."
Inuyasha shook his head. "Some queen you'll make."
Back at the Castle…
Miroku casually put his arm around Sango's shoulders. "So how do you think it's going with Inuyasha?"
!!!POP!!!
Sango stared at a human Miroku in shock.
!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!POP!!!
At that moment every demon in the ballroom was replaced by fairly normal-looking humans.
Shippou nodded his little human head wisely. "I think it's going well." The sound of Kagome's screech sounded through the castle. "Yes, I think it's going quite well."
"Hmmm…" Miroku rubbed his ear. "She really must have liked that ring."
Every eavesdropping person in the kingdom turned their eyes toward him in interest.
"Ring?" Sango repeated.
"Oh dear," Miroku grinned sheepishly. "Did I really just say that out loud?"
Hang in there, just one more chapter left!
Let me give ya a clue: Du-dum-da-DUM!!!
Someone said they like my Sexy Cows comment in chapter fourteen.
Yeah. That's something my friend wrote in my planner during study hall.
Yup. She apparently has a thing for cows.
I, however, love ducks.
