HELLO! Sorry I was so long. I got grounded from the computer and… yeah! Well I hope u like chapter 8!
You know what I think is funny? People kept bugging me for a third addition of 'Hey Yasha!', so I posted one. The odd thing is, nobody's reviewed it. It hasn't been read once! I guess nobody knows yet, so here's a shout out.
HEY YASHA CHAPTER 3 IS UP!
Okay, I'm done.
Chapter 8: Ayame's problem and Inuyasha's Plan
"Anybody move, and I'll kill her"
A creepy young man was holding Ayame in a headlock. A gun was pressed against her skull.
Kagome and Inuyasha froze in their tracks. Why did maniacs always go for girls that like to shop? Maybe it's because they thought they were stupid and klutzy and could never escape from something as simple as a headlock. Well this man didn't know Ayame very well.
Ayame glared at the man before shoving her elbow into his weak spot. The man let out a cry of pain, loosening his grip on her.
"You SICKO" She cried, stealing his gun and sending him flying into a display case. Kagome and Inuyasha watched wide-eyed as she brushed herself off as if she simply fell. Soon, the authorities came swarming, cuffing the man and taking him away.
"Um… should I dismiss that like it was no big deal" Inuyasha asked, still shocked that she had knocked that guy senseless in less than two seconds. Ayame shrugged.
"Sure… just don't tell my parents, or I'll never get to go to the mall again."
Inuyasha glanced at the display case where the man had been thrown. The space was littered with blank books and shards of glass. Crouching down, he picked up one of the books and started to flip through the pages.
"This is a… scrapbook…" He murmured, closing it and turning it to the cover. A smile slowly started to form on his face. "That's it"
Sango turned from her homework when her phone started to ring. Placing her pencil down, she picked up her phone.
"Hello"
"Sango"
"Inuyasha" Sango's eyes widened in surprise.
"Hm… you sound surprised to hear from me." Inuyasha said sarcastically. Sango rolled her eyes, chuckling lightly.
"No… no…" Sango laughed, picking up her pen again. "So… why did you call"
"You can draw, right" This question left Sango confused.
"Yeah… but… why"
"Well, you see…" Inuyasha explained. "…after Ayame threw that guy into the store window"
"Oh yeah… that was funny."
"So that is normal"
"Yeah… pretty much." Sango laughed at the stunned silence on the other end of the line. "So… what about it"
"I got this scrapbook… for Kagome… as a birthday present." Sango raised an eyebrow.
"And what does that have to do with me" She asked, propping her head up on her elbow.
"I want you to draw the cover for it." He replied, sounding slightly annoyed. Sango laughed.
"So… will you do it" Inuyasha asked. Sango smiled thoughtfully.
"Sure… I'll do it." She replied. " I need the scrapbook though… give it to me at school tomorrow, okay"
"Sure. Thanks."
"Bye."
Sango hung up, a hint of amusement playing on her lips. "So that's what he got her…" She laughed lightly. "This will be interesting."
"Did you guys hear about that maniac in the mall"
"Yeah. I heard Ayame was his hostage."
"Ouch… what did she do to him"
Inuyasha stifled his laughter as he eavesdropped on a group of kids. His ears twitched as he glanced over at Kouga, who was also trying to hold his own laughter. They were seriously lucky that Ayame wasn't there… not only he and Kouga, but the kids talking about her as well.
"Hey, Inuyasha"
The demon turned to see Sango standing in front of him. She glanced at his backpack, then back at him. Inuyasha, realizing what she meant nodded. He stuck his hand in his bag and pulled out the scrapbook. He quickly handed it to the teen, who hid it in her pile of schoolbooks.
"Um… Inuyasha" Sango bit her lip. "Would it be okay if I borrowed that necklace for a while" Inuyasha looked down at his rosary Kagome had made, a look of uncertainty in his eyes. But he trusted Sango. It sounded like it was important anyway.
Inuyasha slowly pulled the necklace over his head, and handed them to Sango.
"Thanks." She whispered before running off. Kouga glanced at Inuyasha suspiciously.
"What was that all about" He asked, leaning over in his direction.
"Kagome's birthday present." He replied. Kouga nodded in understanding.
"Smart…" He chuckled, running his fingers through his bangs. "I got her a gift certificate." Inuyasha raised an eyebrow.
"She's that hard to buy for" Kouga nodded.
"Yeah… I had to ask Ayame where she likes to shop." Inuyasha chuckled.
"Figures." Kouga laughed.
"Ah well. She can buy what she wants." Kouga huffed indignantly as he crossed his arms.
"Are you two still talking about Kagome's birthday presents" The two turned to see a very amused Ayame watching them intently. Both Inuyasha and Kouga sighed and nodded. Ayame sighed.
"Boys are pathetic." She muttered, leaning back in her chair. Inuyasha glared at the redhead.
"Yeah? Says who"
"That will be enough, Inuyasha" A sharp voice reached all three of their ears, causing them to jump. Inuyasha turned to see Ms. Hiromito glaring down at him.
"Uh… yes, ma'am" Inuyasha stuttered, scratching the back of his head. Ms. Hiromito continued to scowl. Ms. Hiromito was a stern, middle aged woman with gray hair pulled back in a tight bun. Her eyes were a piercing black and her maroon covered lips pursed at the sight of him.
"I'll let you off this time, Mr. Fujiko, but the next time, you'd better be prepared." Inuyasha nodded quickly as she turned away from him. "Alright class, today we'll be working on grammar…"
Sango sat hunched over her desk, concentrated on the work before her. Her pencil slowly made its way along the paper, stopping as it was lifted from it's surface only to be placed down once again in another spot. She bit her lip as she paused to see her work.
"Damn." She growled, snatching a rubber eraser from her side and rubbing away the error she had made. Just like everything else, Sango was very serious about her artwork. She hoped to be an animator or cartoonist someday, so practicing was never really a chore for her.
"Just… one last thing…" Sango finished with a quick flick of her wrist. "Done" Sango smiled as she held her creation at arms length to view it. There, she had a pencil sketch of Inuyasha's and Kagome's necklaces tied together loosely, representing their bond of friendship. "Now all I have to do is ink and colour"
Sango reached for her pen, but paused as an idea dawned on her. She didn't know when it had happened, but she had suddenly had a sudden fondness for chibis. So, why not add a little extra to the cover?
Grinning to herself, Sango picked up her pencil once again, sketching the addition to her masterpiece.
Inuyasha waited beside Sango's locker, tapping his foot impatiently.
'Where is she?' He asked silently. 'She should be here by now!'
He looked around the emptying halls, trying to get a glimpse of the girl. As he glanced around a sudden deep chuckle reached his ears. Turning in the direction of the voice, he saw a tall figure in an old-fashioned kimono smirking at him. Inuyasha blinked, not believing his eyes. But as he focused once again, the figure vanished.
"Inuyasha"
The demon turned as Sango ran up to him, a bright smile on her face.
"Is it done" He asked anxiously. Sango nodded.
"Yeah… it's done." Sango quickly passed him the book.
Inuyasha gaped at the cover. It was amazing! He didn't expect Sango to have such talent! He looked at the bottom of the page and couldn't help but grin. He and his five other friends had been transformed into chibis!
"This is great, Sango" Inuyasha exclaimed. "The chibi touch is good, too." Sango smiled.
"No problem." She replied sweetly. "Oh! I almost forgot" Sango stuck her hand in her bag and gently lifted the familiar beads out. "I believe these belong to you." She said, placing them in his hands. Inuyasha nodded.
"Thanks. I owe you one." Sango laughed.
"You owe me a million." She teased, causing Inuyasha to smile as well. He glanced one last time in the direction where the man had been, but eventually dismissed it.
"I should get going." Inuyasha stated, turning back to his friend. I think I spent too much time in history class. I'm starting to see people in kimonos walking around the school." Sango laughed lightly, but nodded.
"Alright. See you later."
TBC…
Okay, I'm trying my best for Naraku to make his appearance, but it's getting hard. I'm having some troubles.
Oh! For later chapters, I need a reason for Kagome and Inuyasha to fight. And not some small stupid thing, I mean a serious fight that nearly ruins their friendship! MUAHAHA! Don't worry! It'll all work out!
D14.
