Disclaimer I own Inuyasha, Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket, or any character that is original to me.
(all of a sudden Rumiko Takahashi, Naoko Takeuchi, and Natsumi Takaya come running in to the basement. "You don't own our stuff so say it right"
"But I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it!"
"No…", they say in unison, "say it right…"
"Fine….I don't own Inuyasha, Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket, or any character from any other anime that might appear. But, I do own my own original characters…so don't take them!"
The three Manga-ka walk out happily. Rumiko says, "Katie, if you become famous one day, join us for sushi."
"Katie's eyes light up, "YAY!..."
"whoops…time to start the show, hope you like it!"
Adventures in Plushie Land-Chapter 1
Introductions and Beginnings
In the world of Japanese animation there are things known as plushies, little stuffed toys that remind people of their favorite characters. Well, they live….
Whenever Katie is in her room, she sets he plushies on her bed. When she leaves, magic happens and they come alive…
Today was like any other ordinary day, Katie came home after a tortuous day of school, got yelled at by her step dad, and ran upstairs to her room. She knows that she is always welcomed there with lots of tiny open arms, her precious plushie's arms.
She slammed the door shut, ant started to cry. She jumped on her bed, aiming for Luna, her oldest plushie. She stared at the little purple cat, and bright orange eyes stared back at her.
"Oh, Luna, I wish you could come alive so you could nuzzle against my cheek and help me feel better….I remember when I got you. The bustling crowd at Otakon; the smell of Pocky sweeping the Dealer's Room. I saw you at a small booth. Your bright orange eyes were staring at me. I had to buy you. I had been looking for you for almost a year when I got you. And now I'm still glad that I got you."
Katie pulled Luna close. Then she sat Luna back down on her bed and looked at her plushies. "You guys are the greatest." She looked at her watch, "Oh, crap! I'm late! I forgot I had bible study tonight! CRAP! I gotta go guys; I'll see you all later." With that she grabbed her Bible and ran out her door, slamming it in the process.
Just then a magical thing happened. The blinds rushed up, the curtains flew open and sunlight pierced the room. Sesshomaru stood up, shook his head, and walked out from the crowd towards Luna.
"What is up with that human! She has serious problems. She was talking so much, I just wanted to-"
"Hey, that's Katie you're talking about! She bought you, and brought you here because she loves you! Do you even know who you are!"
"Yes, I'm Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands in Japan. I am the most powerful one here."
"Not that, your also one of Katie's favorite characters. Just look around the room. I used to be her favorite, and then Kyo came along. But now you're here, and she loves you and Kyo the most out of all of us."
"Who is this Kyo you speak of? Should I consider him an enemy?" Sesshomaru asked.
"The hell you should!" Just then the biggest plushie of the group, a bright orange cat, stood up and pounced towards Sesshomaru. "I'm Kyo. I'm the favorite, and a dog like you doesn't belong here!"
Suddenly, Inuyasha ran at Kyo, wielding the Tetsuiga. What do you have against dogs, you stupid cat! Huh!"
"Inuyasha, stay out of this!", Sesshomaru said calmly as he wielded Tokijin. "Hanyous shouldn't interfere in my fights!"
"Damn you to hell Sesshomaru, I can fight whoever I want!" Inuyasha screamed. He ran towards Kyo. "Wind Scar!"
Inuyasha stopped in his tracks. Nothing happened. "What the hell! Is this thing broken or something?"
"No, but you can't use magic or anything like that for evil purposes. Katie doesn't like that, so that can't happen. That's just the way things are here. She made the rules, so you have to abide by them."
"So you're saying that Katie made rules that we have to go by."
"Yes."
"What if I break the rules? Will I be cast out through the window or something stupid like that?" Inuyasha snickered.
"No, that's the beauty of it. Nothing happens unless Katie wants it. That way, were all safe, and we can't be torn up."
A few moments of silence passed by, but they didn't last. All the plushies had gone back to the spots they had been placed in. Luna came back out and turned around to face the crowd. "Ok, now that we've settled down, let's start the meeting. First, we'll start with the introductions, since there are a few new plushies. I'll start. My name is Luna; I was the first plushie to be bought by Katie. I am from the show Sailor Moon. If anyone needs anything, please see me. Sailor Moon, you're next."
A human shaped plushie stood up. She had light blue eyes, odangos, and long blonde hair. She walked out to the center where Luna had been standing. She was followed by a male human shapes plushie and four other females. "Hi, I'm Sailor Moon. I'm from the same show as Luna. These are my comrades; Sailor Mercury."
A girl with blue hair and a blue sailor fuku waved. "Sailor Mars." A girl with raven black hair waved. "Sailor Jupiter" The tallest girl with brown hair and green eyes waved. "And finally, Sailor Venus." The other blonde hair, blue eyed girl stood up and spoke.
"If you get Sailor Moon and I confused, just remember that I have a red bow in my hair, and Sailor Moon has her pigtails." Inuyasha interrupted.
"But what about the guy in the black kimono, what's his name?"
The male plushie looked at Inuyasha with piercing dark blue eyes. "First off, this is not a kimono, this is a tuxedo. And my name is Tuxedo Mask, but-"
"HAHAHA! You call that a name! I think you must be the weirdest one here!"
Tuxedo Mask looked at Inuyasha with disgust. That one look made Inuyasha shudder with fear. "But you may call me Mamoru. That is my given name. Next time you want to speak, wait until the first person is done."
The Sailor Scouts went back and sat with the rest. The orange cat Kyo, the rat Yuki, and a light tan rabbit with red eyes walked out. Kyo started to speak.
"We are from Fruits Basket. I am Kyo, possessed by the dreaded cat spirit. This is Yuki, the damned rat that-"
Under his breath Yuki whispered, "Stupid cat." Kyo heard this and became furious. "HEY! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY!"
In a calm voice Yuki repeated, "Stupid Cat! I can speak for myself."
"You're the stupid one!", Kyo was really pissed.
"You're the one who thinks Jason is a bear!"
"Well it is!"
"No, Jason is a character for an American horror flick. Am I right?" He looked to the crowd, and they nodded their heads in agreement. "See, you're the one who's wrong."
Luna butted in, "That's enough! You two quit bickering! We still haven't heard from the rabbit!" Kyo and Yuki became silent. But there was still a 'I'll kill you later' look in their eyes. Finally they went back to the group and the rabbit spoke.
"I am Momiji. As you can see I am possessed by the year of the rabbit. I am half German, half Japanese. Don't mind Yun-chan and Kyo over there, they were just having a lovers spat." He giggled at the thought. While Kyo and Yuki just said "HEY!" and gave Momiji the very same look they had given each other just a few moments earlier.
"Now that that's over, let's get on with the meeting, shall we?"
The rest of the day was a normal day for the plushies. Kyo and Yuki started quarrels every now and then. Momiji was being smothered by the Sailor Scouts for being so damn cute. And Sesshomaru watched everything from afar. Quietly pondering his own thoughts.
Author's note
This is the first fic that I've finished in a long time. Hopefully, I'll get the second chapter started before exam review week, cuz then I'll be swamped. I got this idea, and was looking around. But I didn't find another story line like it anywhere. I'm kind of mad that I didn't though, cuz I could get inspiration from that. Oh well.
Thanx for reading my fic. If you have any questions or comments, please e-mail me at I'd live to here your concerns and comments to help make this fic better. And yes, when I get new plushies I will add them into the story line.
I'm outtie,
Katie
