Cherry, don't eat two-year old chocolate EVER again. Your reviews and phone
prattle were scary. Okay, enough chiding. Oh, and another thing. What kind
of threat is being attacked by an army of bishonen? Let them come! You're
bishies are hot! (dances in circle and sings) I'm getting attacked by
Miroku... ooh, and Sesshomaru... and Kurt... and Sanosuke... and Spike... and... Lance...
and... Pyro... and I can't remember any more of your bishonen, but if they're
gonna attack me, then I'm not gonna update just to make that happen.
BISHIES! SQUEE!
Hey Sam, do you know the Inuyasha theme song? Or Domo Domo Domo by Smile DK? I love those songs... ( I want to change the world, kaze wo kakenukete . . . nanimo osorezu ni . . . ima yuuki to, edao no kakera daite...)
*Cough*
Okay, the diehard Evo fan in me never goes away. That is my pathetic attempt to explain the events in this chapter. If you don't like X-men Evolution, tough. It's here, deal with it. ~~~~~~~ Culture Shock
Inuyasha woke up and sleepily rubbed his eyes. He had no idea where he was. Jumping up and grabbing Tetsusaiga, he looked around, panicked, and realized he was in Seito's room. He sighed and sat on the floor, kicking the weird sleeping bag aside. That thing they called a zipper was odd. He examined it and determined that he didn't like zippers. He looked at the jeans Mrs. Higurachi had bought and decided that he didn't like the zipper on those either.
Some noises from downstairs caught his sensitive ears. A bunch of sound effects, a kid laughing, and a high-pitched female voice were all colliding. He decided to check it out.
Seito was perched on the back of the couch laughing at a box in the center of the room. The box had pictures on it that moved and talked. A brown-haired girl was talking to a boy with blue hair. Suddenly, the blue- haired boy turned blue all over and sprouted a tail. Inuyasha stared at the box in disbelief. Could it be true. . . there were youkai in America?!
"Seito! Why is that guy blue? Is he a youkai?" Inuyasha pointed at the glowing, magic box. Seito laughed.
"No, Inuyasha, he's a mutant."
"Mutant? What's that?" Inuyasha made a face, and sat on the couch, staring at the box with moving pictures.
"Well, this TV show is called X-men Evolution. All these characters have special powers which make them mutants! That blue guy is Nightcrawler. He can teleport."
Inuyasha nodded. "Uh, Seito? What's TV?"
Seito pointed to the box. "That's TV."
"Oh." Inuyasha got up and stalked into the kitchen. Sniffing around, he managed to find a box of cereal. Kagome had shown him what cereal was. You put it in a bowl, poured milk on it, and then ate it with a spoon. He found the bowl, milk, and spoon with some ease, and then sauntered back into the room with the TV box. He plonked down on the couch and started eating.
The cereal was sweet and crunchy, with little sweet colored shapes mixed in. The shapes dissolved on his tongue and were shaped like hats, crescent moons, and hearts. "What are these?" he asked, showing Seito the spoonful of cereal.
"Oh boy! Lucky Charms!" Seito screamed, running to pour himself a bowl. Inuyasha stared at the TV while he ate. The show, this X-men Evolution, was pretty interesting. Not half as fun as shoving Sesshomaru into a lake, but a good diversion.
A loud splash followed by some screaming from Kagome interrupted his eating. Both he and Seito rushed out the back door, where Kagome stood by a well. "There. . . there's someone in there!" she shouted when she saw the two boys.
A loud clash of metal and Tetsusaiga was unsheathed. Inuyasha marched over to the well and looked down into it. He couldn't believe his eyes.
"Oh, hello, Inuyasha. I seem to be a bit wet. Can you pull me out?" asked the person at the bottom of the well. ~~~~~~~~~
"Eh. . . Mama?" Ayako had to confront her parents about the growing number of visitors in the Shinoda house. "Uh, another one of Kagome and Inuyasha's friends showed up in the well. . ."
Mrs. Shinoda raised her eyebrows. "Ai-ya! If he's old enough to stay somewhere else, he stays somewhere else! No questions!"
A young man, wearing a wet kimono poked his head into the kitchen. He was carrying a staff and a pair of sandals. "Excuse me, but I need a place to change and some dry clothes to put on." Inuyasha shoved the Buddhist monk aside and marched upstairs.
"I'll get you some clothes, but stop feeling up Kagome's ass!" he yelled as he turned the corner.
"Eh. . ." Mrs. Shinoda rubbed her temples. "Ayako-chan, will you take the monk upstairs and show him the bathroom?" The girl nodded and led him upstairs.
Two minutes later a scream shook the house. Miroku, as that was the monk's name, came flying down the stairs and into the kitchen. He had a towel wrapped around his waist and a red handprint on his cheek. Kagome stifled a giggle. Ayako, it would seem, didn't want to bear his child either. He got up, marched upstairs, and slammed the bathroom door. *_*_*_*_*_*
Later on, the now seven residents of the Shinoda house sat in the living room drinking tea. "So, Miroku," began Kagome, "how did you end up in another time-portal well?"
Miroku, now wearing jeans, a button down shirt, and the customary protective rosary, sipped his tea and smiled. "Sango shoved me in. I felt entitled to a small pinch, and she threw me into that well. Nothing unusual, except I ended up in the well in the backyard." He glanced around the Shinoda's living room. "I never expected to see what the future was like. I must say, it turned out very nicely."
Shippo, wearing some of Seito's old clothes (with a hole for his tail) perched on Miroku's shoulder. "It's great here, Miroku! There's a magic box with talking pictures, and yummy food, and a thing you pee in that takes your pee away!"
Mr. Shinoda cleared his throat. "Well, since we have more than we expected, I want you to earn your keep." He pointed at Miroku and Inuyasha. "You are both old enough to work, so I expect you both to get jobs and earn a salary. That means you also have to learn English. I will teach you both, so you will know enough by the end of the month." He pointed at Kagome. "You already know what you are doing here. You'll go to school with Ayako. And you," he said, pointing to Shippo, "will go to school with Seito." He folded his arms. "That is my decision, and it is final." ~~~~~~~~
Woot! IT just gets crazier and crazier. I think it was... hmmm. . . Persona the ITG, who asked me on one of my other fics if I was insane. My answer? Yes. Yes, I am insane. I never claimed sanity, so why deny my insanity?
I'll probably have Inuyasha and Miroku work in really crazy places, like Chuck E. Cheese or Great America. Or reading stories at a library. Heh. Inuyasha catering to the whims of small children. That's amusing.
And don't worry. Now that I have a lot of the groundwork established, this shall become much more like Shonen Manga. I will introduce American versions of youkai and shard hunting . . . and I think I'm gonna stick with Chuck E. Cheese. God, that is too funny.
