Adventures in Plushie Land
Chapter 2-Thoughts and Budding Friendships
What if someone was told about someone else?
Would they change their mind about them?
Will good or bad impressions be made?
What if two people,
from two completely different worlds,
were to become friends?
Would the friendship last?
Author's note- I'm going to add a narrator to the beginning and ending to the story. So that way, I don't have to make so many authors notes and waste space. The narrator will only appear at the beginning and ending. I will use a "( )" symbol to begin and end them. They will not be in the story itself. It will just explain basic points and happenings from previous chapters since some people may not follow the story from chapter to chapter. Thanks for your time. Now lets get on with the story...
Disclaimer: I do not own any characters from Inuyasha, Sailor Moon, or Fruits Basket. They are respectably owned by Rumiko Takahashi, Naoko Takeuchi, and Natsuki Takaya. But any other character, including Katie, is my own original thought. Please do not steal them.
Narrator:( In the last chapter, we met the characters, where their from, and got an overview of their personalities. Luna showed that she was the main leader. And we learned that there was a hint of jealousy from the other plushies regarding Kyo and Sesshomaru, as they were shown to be Katie's favorite characters.
It's the next day, the plushies are in their spots on the bed again. Katie has already left for school, and her step-dad and sister have just left. The plushies come alive and start their day.)
"Good morning everybody, lets hope today is better than yesterday, and that there aren't as many fights.", Luna eyed Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Kyo, and Yuki. "We don't want anyone to split a seam. Katie would get upset if something like that happened." Again Luna was seated in front of the others. She obviously was the leader. Everyone loved how she could solve almost any problem without a fight breaking out.
Inuyasha had recognized that he was eyed by Luna when she spoke. He told himself he would try to act better. But, he still had a lot of questions, mostly about his owner Katie. So when Luna brought up that now was the time to discuss things, he stood up and asked, "What is up with our owner, Katie? What's she like?"
"Good question Inuyasha", Luna said. "Katie is a sweet girl. She happened upon anime by accident. Of course, I think it was fate, but that's just me. She's 16 now, but she's been watching anime since she was 11, when she was in the sixth grade. Now that she's in high school, she has been introduced to many new things, but anime is still one of her favorite things.
"Katie is special. She's like most teenagers, but then she has her own special qualities. She is still a child at heart. She doesn't want to grow up, but she was forced to be more mature because her mom moved out around 5 months ago, and she has been put in the middle of her parent's quarrels too many times. But then she turns around, and she is the happiest person in the world. I guess you could say she has multiple personalities. But in a good way."
"What was she like before she got into anime?", Inuyasha was getting interested, as was Sesshomaru, Kyo, and Yuki. Momiji, on the other hand, had been trying to listen, but was getting sidetracked by the Sailor Scouts, who were fussing over how adorable fuzzy, and cute he was.
"Well, she was kind of depressed, sad, and withdrawn. Her grandmother had just died, she had been tested and given medicine for ADD, and she didn't have many friends. But now, she is a whole different person. She-", Luna was interrupted by a loud crash sound. She turned find that Momiji had fallen of the bed because he had been cornered by a couple of the Scouts.
She rushed over to the end of the bed where she found Momiji, who had just jumped back up. "Are you okay Momiji-chan! Your not hurt, are you?"
The rabbit brushed some lint off of his skin with his ear. "No, I'm okay. But thanks for worrying about me. I fall all the time, so I'm used to it." Luna was relieved to hear this. She went back to where she had been earlier, and conversed with Yuki. The scouts went back to ga-ga-ing over Momiji. Kyo went to the upper corner of the bed, jumped, and landed on a large black trunk. He then went to the middle, where the light from the blinds being opened had warmed it, and laid down to take a nap. He was asleep within moments.
While all of that had been happening, Tuxedo Mask, otherwise known as Mamoru, had been eyeing Sesshomaru. Wondering why he stayed so distant from everyone else. Mamoru had his own reasons, he was the only male plushie, until Kyo and Yuki, but they were much younger that him. They wouldn't get along as well. But Sesshomaru was different. He seemed more mature. Mamoru was hoping to maybe become friends with this plushie, but it looked like Sesshomaru didn't want to associate with the others. Especially Inuyasha, because Sesshomaru seemed to hate him, or that's what Mamoru had come to conclude form yesterdays fight.
But being the brave soul that he is, Mamoru decided to go and introduce himself to the demon plushie anyways. He walked towards the calm-looking, white haired, plushie. Sesshomaru felt him coming and looked over. 'He is either brave or stupid for coming to me. I guess he doesn't know who I am. I guess I must introduce myself, and show him that I don't like to be bothered by mortals.' he thought.
Mamoru stood a few inches away when he started to speak. "Hello Sesshomaru, I am Mamoru.", he said bowing with grace. "I see that you have distanced yourself from the others. Why?"
"I don't like to associate myself with the others. And no offence to you, I don't associate myself with humans either. If you haven't noticed, I am an inu-taiyoukai. I think anyone under me, humans and hanyous, like Inuyasha, are unnecessary."
"Well, its no use thinking like that here. If you act distant, the others will think bad of you."
"Does that include you Mamoru-san?", Sesshomaru said that because he noticed the gentleness in the human plushie's eyes.
"Actually, no. I can tell that just from looking at you that you are wise and observant. I respect that. But I also think that if someone distances themselves from others, and has no friends, ends up being the one most likely blamed for things. If they have someone that can vouge for them, they are more likely to have respect form even the people that hate them."
"So your saying that if I don't have at least one friend here, I'll be blamed for things I didn't do because people will be against me...hmmm...that is a good observance."
"Arigatou. I'm glad you understand. And I think I may be the only plushie here that has respect for you. I know your story, and I can relate. We don't have to be friends, instead we could lookout for each other. Although, I would like to become friends. Because Inuyasha, Kyo, and Yuki are too loud and obnoxious to hold an intelligent conversation. Plus I don't think they even like talking about history, wars, and theories that surround us."
Sesshomaru became slightly interested when the black haired plushie mentioned wars. He had been in so many, and had learned so much, that he wanted to learn of the ones that happened in this present era. "You like talking about war?" He has suddenly butt in. Mamoru gave a small smirk, knowing this demon's story.
"Yes, I know of many, have been in some myself, and I am still learning about the most recent ones that are happening in this world."
"Well, one day, will you tell me about the ones in this era."
"I can start today. I myself have just finished studying the war that happened about 15 years ago. It was known as the 'cold war' because there was no real fighting."
Sesshomaru was surprised by this. "How is that possible? A war that had no battles, was called a war?" He didn't understand this. Mamoru knew this topic would spark a conversation. That's why he started talking about this.
He went on to explain how this was a war to the demon plushie, who only knew a little of the present era because he was from the past. "It was a war fought with two superpowers. It was fought with words and the build up of forces. There were a few scrimmages, but there was never a big battle." This left the taiyoukai stunned. He wanted to know more. Mamoru thought to himself. 'Good job. He is interested. Just keep at this, and you will help the whole group. Remember, peace is better than war.'
The two almost-friends talked late into the day. Two plushies that were completely different. While one of them was amazed one time after another by the events that were being explained to him, the other was glad that he had someone to talk to. And to come to when he wanted to get away from his annoying, clingy, girlfriend.
on the other side of the bed
Luna was pleased how well the day had been. There had only been a few spats between Kyo and Yuki. Momiji had only been cornered, and fallen off the bed a few more times. But he did appear to love all the attention he had been getting. What astonished her the most was that Inuyasha had been good the whole day. And that Sesshomaru seemed to be getting along with Mamoru. She curled up, and rested, knowing that everything was good for the time being.
So...what had Inuyasha been doing all this time?
That whole day, Inuyasha had been lost in thought. (AN: Scary, huh?)
He had been wondering how he could get some ramen.
The end
Authors note
Thanks for reading my fics. This is only the second chapter, and I have so many ideas. In the next chapter I will be introducing a new character/plushie. I'm not gonna say who it is, but hopefully it will balance the scale for male/female plushies. Please leave good reviews. If u can't get them on please e-mail me at for your time.
I'm outtie,
Katie
