Inuyasha - Round-Robin Story Telling - Style

By Yashira

***Kouga butters it up***

With bow and quiver slung over her shoulder, Princess Kagogo had not taken more than two steps in the opposite direction when a great fanfare of trumpets resounded with a startled cry behind her.

"Nee," said Shippopo, the mighty freedom fighter and sometimes footstool;

HEY!

"Were you expecting the Prince of Wolves?" Shippopo asked with a backward glance to the rising smoke behind them.

Kagogo glanced behind her, her dark eyes blinking in surprise, as she saw the telltale smoke. "No, why? ACK!"

"KAGOGO!!!" The handsome, debonair, and amazing young man, who appeared from within the whirlwind of smoke, grabbed both Kagogo's hands with both of his huge ones. "What's this I hear about you going to see the perverted man who lives on a crooked hill on the way to grandma's house?!"

The narrowed look of confusion not only registered on Kagogo's face, but also that of Shippopo as he blurted out, "Grandma's house?! What the hell are you on?!"

That's what I'd like to know!

Shut up!

"Where did those trumpet sounds come from anyway?" Kagogo asked as she looked around the dashing young man with silk black hair, elven-like ears, and bushy wolf tail. Aside from her rich mansion which sometimes acted like a castle, she could see no sign of the trumpeter.

If you're asking me it came out of his-

INUYASHA!

Bitch. And what's this dashing stuff?! It's making me sick.

"I'm always here for my woman-" the young man replied with a twinkle in his fangs.

What the hell?! Even in a story you have to lie!

I'm not lying, you dog-turd, she is MY woman!!

Kaze no-

Osuwari!!! Now let Kouga tell the story!

Fucking hell, I swear you must like this…ACK!

OSUWARI!!!!

Princess Kagogo blushed as she spoke to her fiancée . "Ah, you know KouKou our parents arranged that we get married when I hit my 21 year. I'm only 15 right now, but it's not really necessary to-"

KouKou, man I hate to think what I'm going get called when I get put into this story.

Don't you know? You're the crooked man that they're doing to go see.

Sango, I hardly think I'm crooked let alone bent.

"I know, I know, that didn't stop you from falling in love with me… In fact it only added to our love."

Shippopo and Kagogo could only look at KouKou with the same sort of awe which his subjects revered him with.

This is making me sick, how much more do I have to listen to this…

Inuyasha, if you didn't keep interrupting KouKou, er Kouga, he would be finish by now.

Besides, if you didn't like the way he's going to tell the story, why didn't you offer to tell it next?

Because I fucking don't want to!!

You have no one to blame but yourself!!!

Will you SHUT UP and let me tell my story!!!

"Now Kagogo, why must you go…" Pausing suddenly, the handsome man looked down at his foot with surprise. "What the hell did I step on?" After thoroughly looking at the round smooshy thing at the bottom of his foot and determining to his relief that it wasn't inu-dropping….

You're asking for it Whimpy Wolf!

Osuwari!

Not again!! WHAM!

KouKou peeled off what was left of the Banshee of Death and held it up to Kagogo, "Is this yours?"

Shippopo carefully looked over the tiny banshee of death with a wan frown on his red cheeks. "I guess he couldn't forewarn himself of his impeding death. What a shame, well no not really."

"I ain't… dead…w ell not mostly dead yet…" Myomyo croaked as he stared up into their faces.

"I think that is Inuyoshi's flea," Kagogo replied with a dismissing shrug.

"Looks like Inuyoshi-dogturd needs a bath, his fleas are getting everywhere," KouKou replied as Kagogo nodded.

"Yeah, that's what I said earlier. Although," And this she said with a growl, "he ran off to warn the evil, but younger sister of Old Maid Baba after I told him to get bent so I'm taking with me Shippopo the great freedom fighter with me as protection in case we run into the Plains of Fluffy that Myomyo keeps telling me is in front of us and not behind the Tower of the Crooked man." She took in deep raging breaths as she looked up at KouKou, "I have to find out why Sandbow won't go into the cellar and get my special jewel."

KouKou blinked at the slew of information that came his way as he saw the determination in both his bride's face and that of the rug.

Hey, first it was footstool and now rug, stop calling me names!

It's my story, and I can tell it as I see fit!

Well maybe you should give someone else a chance to tell it then?!

Why should I?

"Yeah, I think Shippo is right," Kagome replied softly as she picked up the timer and glanced around the lot of them. Sesshomaru sat with Rin and Jaken, seemingly bored, as Miroku and Sango watched her carefully from their spot. Shippo also was chipper and alert although both Inuyasha and Kouga seemed prone for another overdue argument as they snarled at each other. "Time's up Kouga-kun, we need to give everyone else a turn too. Now, who's next?"

"I didn't really get to make my big number," Kouga moaned as if much put upon and that brought an angry grunt of disgust from Inuyasha.

"Big number?! What kind of lie is that?! You told enough of them to begin with!"

"Are you jealous that Kagome is MY woman," Kouga replied with a sneer that brought Inuyasha's gold eyes seeing red with fury.

"You're starting to get on my nerves, wimpy wolf…"

"Okay we're ready to begin," Kagome beamed unexpectedly and in a voice that startled both Kouga and Inuyasha. It was a voice that commanded the attention of both young men

"Oi, what are you talking about?"

"Yeah, no one agreed to go next."

Kagome shook her head, "No, someone has," she pointed to Jaken who gripped his staff tightly and waved it nervously.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
