Well, since a number of people have asked me this, I suppose I'll answer. I
am not Japanese. True, Kitsune Ryune is a Japanese name, but I am as
American as corn bread and beanie weenies. And Ryune is not my real name,
just my internet one. Yeah, I grew up in Missouri, so I talk with a slight
southern accent, I say y'all, my uncle is a hillbilly with a moonshine
still and everything, there are more corn plants in my town than people,
and hayrides and cow tipping are actually fun activities.
The only reason I can speak Japanese is because I'm one of those people who has no life and gets bored in school very easily. SO I learn languages like crazy. Now I'm not fluent, but I know basic vocab and sentence structure for German and Japanese. And I'm almost fluent in Spanish. And the names I use are from real life, i.e. Ayako is the name of a girlfriend my grandpa had when he was stationed in Japan in 1953. Seito is the annoying little brother of a friend of mine, and Shinoda is the last name of Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park. Fun fact of the day, people. I just absorb information around me.
Okay, thanks all who reviewed. I like this fic, and I plan to write like crazy the next few days.
Yomi-nasai! (read!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ayako ran upstairs when she heard the high-pitched scream. She sent a small prayer up that Kagome hadn't discovered Stevie, Seito's blind rattlesnake. He'd named the snake after Stevie Wonder, for obvious reasons. As she rushed into the hall, she crashed into Inuyasha, who had a rusty katana in his fist. "Ow! Watch where you're going!" he snarled, shoving her aside to see what was wrong.
The sight in Ayako's room was not exactly what they expected to see. Shippo was on the bed, dancing around in circles and holding his crotch. "I gotta pee!" he squealed when he saw Inuyasha. The hanyou picked up the fox- youkai.
"What in hell are you doing here?! How did you even get through the well?" Shippo whimpered, and Inuyasha put him down. Kagome turned to Inuyasha.
"He hid in my suitcase, and apparently before that, he hid in my backpack. Mama put him in there for I don't know what reason." A yelp from the hall drew them out there.
"There's no way to find a place to go!" Shippo was yelling. "I gotta GO!" Ayako led him into the bathroom. He pointed to the toilet. "What is that? Am I supposed to pee in that thing?! It looks scary!" he whined.
Inuyasha eyed the toilet warily as well. He turned to Ayako. "You don't have a bush to hide behind, or an outhouse, or anything?"
"Nope. The toilet's all we got. Sorry."
Seito, who was thrilled that there were now two cool people for him to hang out with, showed Shippo how to use the toilet. He pushed the handle down and both Inuyasha and Shippo jumped and yelled. "Ah! It's a youkai! Save me, Kagome!" The young youkai jumped up on her shoulder.
"Calm down, Shippo, its just a porcelain bowl. It's not a demon."
"Yeah, and aren't you a youkai too, Shippo?" smirked Inuyasha.
"What? What do you mean there's another youkai in this house?" snapped Mrs. Shinoda from the bottom of the stairs. Kagome blushed. Boy, did she have a lot of explaining to do. *_*_*_*
After a long explanation, the Shinoda's did a thorough search of Kagome's bags. There was no need to find any other unexpected guests. The last thing she needed was Myouga, or worse, Miroku popping up without warning. Then again, Myouga did that on a daily basis, but that's beside the point. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"All right! Pizza!" screamed Seito, running for the door.
"Pizza? What is this 'pizza'?" Inuyasha inquired, cocking an eyebrow. The pizza man was now in the doorway, waiting for a check from Mr. Shinoda. He gave Inuyasha a funny look. After all, you don't see a white-haired Japanese guy with dog ears and fangs in California on a daily basis. Inuyasha glared at him. Very menacingly.
Now, if you've never been glared at by a half-demon before, the effect can be very, very scary. "Hey, back off, man. I'm just delivering pizza!" In English, of course.
Inuyasha was even grumpier, because he didn't understand the guy. "Nani? Anata-wa nan-hoshii-desu-ka?" he asked. Now, the pizza guy didn't know that the above sentence was a harmless 'what, what do you want?", so he thought that threats were being made on his life. He started backing up, panicked.
Kagome realized what was going on and did what she knew to do in times like these.
"OSUWARI!"
Before everyone's astonished eyes, Inuyasha went crashing into the floor, face down. Mr. Shinoda blushed, took the pizza, gave the pizza guy a very nice tip, and then the pizza guy took off at a sprint for his car. Inuyasha sat up. "I hate this damn rosary," he growled, pulling the beads out from under his shirt.
Shippo poked the pizza box. "What is it? It smells good," the young fox asked.
"Eh, do you remember that okonomiyaki that I made the other week?" Kagome asked the two from the Sengoku-Jidai. "Pizza is kind of like that, but it has cheese and tomato sauce on it instead!"
Shippo tugged on Inuyasha's sleeve. "Uh, what's cheese? And tomatoes?"
"Beats me."
*_*_*_*_*_
Hah! The idea of Shippo being scared of the toilet amused me. I can just hear him yelling "I gotta pee!" Oh, so, so funny. You know what else is funny. My cat is snoring quite loudly. Oh, and if you've ever seen the homestarrunner.com cartoon "20XV5 vs. 1936", the "What is that?" reminded me of Stinko-man's "What is that? What is that?" It's really funny.
Review! I love reviews.
