Yay, new chapter! (dancing with joy)
I'm sooooooooo sorry about not updating. But first it was SATs, then like five projects, then… hmmm… what else happened? Oh yeah. I GOT A LAPTOP! So now I can update more often…(waits for the cheers of joy and hears only crickets )
Inuyasha: Just get on with it already!
Me: (glare glare) Shut up. Or I might do something evil to you….
Inuyasha: laughs What could a puny human possibly do to me?
Inuyasha is next seen dangling over a boiling cauldron and cursing profusely
Me: Never mess with the awesome powers of the author….
Oh dear, I'm rambling. It must be that grande mocha frappucino (or however the hell you spell it). Those things are yummy… (drooling)
Okay, on with the story!
Chapter 5: The power of Love
"Kagome! Kagome! Kagoooooooome!"
Shippo raced through the trees, heading for the well. After what Inuyasha had said to her, he wouldn't be surprised if she went home and never came back.
About to climb into the well, Kagome started with surprise and almost fell in. "Shippo!"
"Where are you going! Inuyasha…"
"He can go to hell for all I care."
"But…" She started to jump in. "NO! Wait! There's something I have to tell you!"
"Okay. I guess it wouldn't hurt…."
Minutes later, all the birds in the vicinity took to the air in fright as the forest rang with Kagome's screech of, "You did WHAT?"
Sango ran as she'd never run before. She didn't run from demons. No, demons she could handle. She was a professional demon slayer, for Kami's sake!
She didn't run from villagers waving pitchforks; she wasn't running from Naraku. No, she was running from something far more terrifying.
Two sex-crazed guys both vying for her hand.
"So, what exactly does this love potion do?" asked Kagome in a calm voice that scared Shippo more than her previous rage had.
"Er, hehe… Well, basically, it makes people fall in love with the first living thing they see. In Inuyasha's case, it must have been Sango. See?" He showed Kagome the bottle. "I got it from another kitsune. I thought it would be fun to mess with people some day…"
"I see," said Kagome again in that voice. Shippo started moving nervously away.
Kagome studied the bottle. It had two people snogging on the front of the label and said in big letters, LOVE POTION.
Flashback
Shippo was left alone with Inuyasha, who lay unconscious in a crater five feet deep. "Ow, that looks like it hurt."
He jumped into the crater and pulled out a tiny bottle that he'd bought off another kitsune a long time ago. The bottle read, "love potion: apply on victim's eyes and let the fun begin!"
"Hmmm, seems, straightforward enough," Shippo muttered. He put a little dot on each of the hanyou's eyelids and hurried off to find Kagome. However, he had forgotten to read the whole bottle...
In tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny print below it, it said, make sure the intended target is nearby, otherwise you will get… interesting… results.
Below that, in even tinier print, it read, effects will wear off in two hours. Until then, you're screwed. So make sure you get it right!
"So, as the label says… we're screwed, right?... Kagome? Kagome? Oh, shit….."
They found her. At the same time. And it was not nice.
Each grabbed an arm and screamed into her ear, "I LOVE YOU, SANGO!"
Then the monk and the half-demon stared at each other. And glared at each other. "Back off, pervert," snarled Inuyasha.
"You wanna fight! Bring it on, hanyou!" screamed Miroku.
Shippo puffed and panted, trying to keep up with Kagome as she tore through the forest, looking for Inuyasha and Sango. "What are you doing?" he yelled to her. "I know you're upset about those two, but we can't do anything until the potion wears off. Plus, Miroku's under its spell too…"
Too late, Shippo realized he'dforgotten about Miroku. "Oh, shit," he murmured. "This could turn out to be nasty…"
Sango watched from the cover of some bushes, unsure whether she should laugh, cry, or run like hell away from this crazy place.
Inuyasha whipped his sword out and shouted, "Windscar!"
"Noooooo!" Sango screamed.
But she needn't have bothered. It didn't work.
"Dammit!" he'd forgotten that the Tetsusaiga didn't work on humans.
The same didn't apply to Miroku's wind tunnel.
Cliffie! blows a raspberry

(dodges all the tomatoes) fine, fine! I'll continue!
Oh crap, writer's block.
This sucks.
Hmmmm….
5 hours later…
Lalalalalala…..
Yay! Back to work!
The wind tunnel howled, looked scary, and basically did all the things wind tunnels are supposed to do. Which is…. suck things up. And it did. And it did a good job of it too. It sucked up rocks, trees, bushes, little animals, and it nearly sucked up Inuyasha.
(fangirls burst into the bedroom and besiege the poor author) Nooooo! I was just kidding!
But he lived.
Me: whew.
Just then, Kagome burst into the clearing and saw the whole soap opera. She did the only thing she could think of doing at the time. Scream. Loudly.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Everybody stopped and stared. Inuyasha put down his sword, Miroku stopped up his wind tunnel.
"Sorry," she said meekly.
"Kagome!"
Sango burst out of the bushes, covered in leaves, dirt, and various little animals that had crashed into her during the craziness. "Please, you must help me! I can't stand it anymore!"
Both guys started forward, creepy looks of devotion on their faces.
They each received two slaps to the face, one from each girl.
Then, all of a sudden, looking surprised, the four slumped over and started snoring.
Shippo corked the sleeping potion and looked at the four. "What a crazy day," he muttered. He dragged each of them off to different spots and waited for the love and sleep potions to wear off.
Wow, it's almost over already! I might extend it.. but I don't think so. I want to finish my Tamora Pierce story.
