Well I'm back again (but without a brand new mission, thank you Vanilla Ice)! Aren't you all excited! Hmm...I'm seeing some rather panicky faces. I'm going to take that as a GOOD sign though. You must be panicking because you love me so much :D.
REVIEW RESPONSES! We all love those, right?
earthqueen—Thank you for reviewing!!! I'm glad you like the Shippo bit (which actually was the POINT of the story) (like the plot)...hehehe I see I confused you with the extra though. Well that makes sense...there were some inside jokes...that you probably wouldn't get. And not everyone thinks of that sort of stuff...but it was just fun to put on there anyway. I am a horny teen and proud. I probably just lost any fans I might have had saying that...
dancing barefoot in my socks—I like Mr. Parker...he's pretty kewl. Although I do agree, you are NOT the lackadaisical 4 L's of Lovett. I'm glad you like my story! I'm so sorry Shippo is your pal (people with questions, see the extra in chappie 1) (by the way, I know her, so I'm not verbally assaulting some stranger). And heh I was reading it over your shoulder outloud to the whooooole library. But I am glad you recommended it!!
kioken—Thank you for reviewing!! It means my heart and soul (well at least part of them). I'm glad you liked the first part! Although it appears that you were confused by the extra as well...sorry for the confusion...it wasn't there to advance the plot, just for fun.
Well...now that's out of the way...and seeing as I haven't updated in a while...PLEASE don't hurt me for that, because that is HORRIBLY mean...I shall now update the SECOND CHAPTER!! Whoo hoo!
Disclaimer: As much as I'm sure it disheartens you all to here me say this...I must say it. I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA ::collective gasp:: I KNOW, I know, I'm just as shocked as you are. But I realize that now...they can take our lives...but...THEY CANNOT TAKE OUR FANFICS! Yay Willie Wallace! Well...except for the English...who would not yay him EVER...and seeing as I'm doing a theological report on Edward II (I think it's II...I'M NOT EVEN SURE (how sad is that?)) so if any of you can help, PLEASE DO!! Oh wait, this was supposed to be the disclaimer. Sorry about that...
-----------means THE STORY IS STARTING. I'd forgotten what I was using...
-!!-means a break in Shippo's journal writing...again, a reminder for myself...
--------------------------------------------------------
I know it's been a while, but I haven't gotten a whole lot of time to write in this thing. Either someone's been around, or we've been fighting (well the rest of them) demons for jewel shards, or I've been taking on the midget sibling to the Thunder Brothers...and that definitely put a break in my writing. I'm sure you're all curious as to what's been going on with my, er, condition, so I shall update you.
Sango has FINALLY told Miroku she loves him! I mean, it was so obvious to us all...except the monk, oddly enough...he just thought she was reconsidering bearing his children (not the case). He was a little shocked, but very receptive. They went off to...for lack of a better term, "have bathing fun". I know this because I was out gathering mushrooms for Kagome to make dinner, and I saw her tell him...it makes me feel a little more courageous about eventually telling Kagome that I love her.
...Wait a second, WHAT AM I SAYING? I can never EVER tell Kagome that I love her! She'd either think that a) I'm a twerpy fluffball, b) I'm a pervert since I've been sleeping with her, c) I am nuts and will never speak to me again. AND Inuyasha would beat the crap out of me...and all that other stuff I mentioned in the last section. Oh, Kirara just walked up...I don't mind HER reading it, since she's not going to tell anyone...she can't SAY anything. Although she is making some odd sort of chuckling noises...I hope she can't read.
Apparently Kagome is having her womanly time of the month...she's been a little...odd lately, more bipolar than anything else. One minute she's telling Inuyasha how well he's been progressing with Tetsusaiga, the next she's sitting him off a 30 foot cliff (and she DID, too...he ate her ramen while she was changing tampons in the bushes, and she got really mad). We're all being fairly tolerant...but it gets hard not to comment when she runs up to Miroku and just shoves him down for no apparent reason...Sango just looks at her like she's mental, then nods like she understands. All I can say is that I thank my luck that I was born male and do not have to put up with blood coming slooooowly out of my butt for 6 days (Inuyasha and I can smell it, so we know how long it lasts...not a great time to be near her).
-!!-(sorry, it needs text, remember?)
"Shippo! Sango! Miroku! Inu—GET YOUR HANDS OUT OF THE RAMEN, INUYASHA! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! AH CRAP, now the RAMEN'S SPILLED EVERYWHERE!" Like I said, Kagome's just a little menstrual.
"Good GOD, Kagome, THAT HURT!" Hehe, his face is bruised...which I shouldn't be taking pleasure out of, but I am anyway (it's always fun to watch, and the bruises fade in about 10 seconds anyway).
"Well I wouldn't have to sit you if you would just WAIT FOR ME TO GIVE YOU YOUR RAMEN!"
"I WAS HUNGRY, DAMMIT! You were taking FOREVER!"
"Next time I'LL LET YOU EAT THE DRY NOODLES!"
"Fine!!"
"I'd rather eat Shippo's mushrooms than dry Ramen..." Why thank you Sango, I had no idea my screaming, teary-eyed mushrooms would be tastier than dry Ramen.
"I don't know, I think I'd prefer the Ramen than mushrooms that would WATCH me." I have to go with Miroku, I would go for the Ramen too.
"I'll tell you what, Sango, since you'd prefer the mushrooms, Shippo can feed you!" Kagome really has got to get on the pill...I don't see why she hasn't, actually. I mean, if I KNOW about it (read about it in her biology book), SHE should know about it (and therefore use it). Then she wouldn't be out to kill us a week every month.
"Umm, that's okay, I'll eat the Ramen..."
"AND THE MONK CAN EAT THE DRY RAMEN!! EAT IT MONK!!" WOW is she mad...
"Sango, don't you and I have that...that THING to go to?"
"Why YES, I believe we do!!" I never realized how fast Miroku and Sango could run away from danger...
"...Not to be suggesting anything, but couldn't you just make more Ramen, Kagome?" Inuyasha...that was a STUPID thing to do....
HOLY CRAP HER FACE IS GOING TO EXPLODE. It's seriously purple...and her hair is rising up...
"You want more Ramen, Inuyasha?" Oh God, with that tone of voice...this is making my hair stand on end...the "calm" before the storm....
"Umm...yes...?" Oh great, NOW he notices how seriously pissed and violent she is....
"THEN YOU CAN FUCKING PREPARE IT FOR YOURSELF!! I AM GOING TO BED AND YOU CAN ALL GO CLIMB IN A DITCH AND EAT ROADKILL FOR ALL I CARE!!" Man...when she shouts, she SHOUTS...wait, she said FUCK? She NEVER cusses...and true to her word, she's going into the little hut that we found in the woods.
Inuyasha fell over...he looks shocked. Stupid dog...can he NOT sense when Kagome is about to rampage? Maybe we should attack Naraku when Kagome's having her period...she'd probably kill him off just by looking at him, let alone screaming like that. I'll suggest that when she's NOT about to castrate everything in sight...
"Inuyasha, you have GOT to learn you can't mess with Kagome when she's mad." I can't mention anything sexually oriented, he thinks I'm innocent...and if he even doubts that for a little bit, I lose so many privileges.
"Shut up and help me make more Ramen, whelp." Oh wah, Inuyasha, to think you were shouted down. THAT'S a shock.
"You know, I think I'll be more of a burden than a help." It's true...it isn't an insult to his manhood...it's a win-win situation.
"Hmm..." wait, why is he looking at me like that? AHHH don't pick me up!! Hey!!
"LET ME GO!! I DON'T LIKE HANGING UPSIDEDOWN!!"
"KAGOME, CAN WE EAT SHIPPO INSTEAD?" NOOO don't eat me!!! I'm all fluff!! I have NO nutritional value! Ask ANYTHING that's tried to eat me before!!
...I didn't know Kagome could get flames to generate out of her...oh...holy...sh—
"INUYASHA SIT! SIT!" OWW, OWW wait, he HASN'T let me go yet! Let him let go of me and THEN you can sit him all you want!!
"SIT! SIT! SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT—OH MY GOD, SHIPPO!!" Yes...oh my face...my body...my nads...ahhhhhh man I feel sooo bad right now...I can't move...everywhere hurts...I so sympathize with Inuyasha right now...who was on top of me this whole time...so he added his weight onto me...but it's okay, because now I'm in her arms. All is right with the world.
"Shippo, I am sooo sorry! Your fur! Your tail! Your...pants...have a tear..." Why is she turning so red...OH MY GOD MY PANTS HAVE A HUGE TEAR IN THE CROTCH. And EVERYTHING is showing...but not for long, I am SO covering it up right now...thank God for puffy tails.
"Are you okay otherwise...?"
"Yeah..." Aside from the fact that I've just been physically abused and utterly humiliated, yes...
"C'mon, Shippo, I'll treat you cuts and sew your pants while Inuyasha makes dinner." Ahh...the pain I suffer is not in vain then...good, good...
"WAIT, why do I still have to make dinner?"
"Because, Inuyasha, you SPILT the Ramen all over the ground, and it would be only right if you remade it." That's some logic you can't argue with.
Hmm...what was that look that just crossed his face? It looked like...he was hurt...but maybe I just imagined it...?
"Aren't you at least going to at LEAST apologize to me for sitting me...?" Again, is it just me, or does he sound sulky?
Now KAGOME looks hurt...or worried...no, wait don't set me down, Kagome...why are you hugging him instead of me...?
"Inuyasha...I just...I got really mad, you know? Because...it's that time of the month, so I mean, I'm a little...it's not an excuse, I know, but I'm sorry I sat you so much."
...He's hugging her back...
"It's okay, Kagome...I didn't mean to drive you mad."
"Which you so often do."
"Which I so often do." He's smiling now...and brushing her hair...
"Look, we can go into the hut and I'll fix you up, okay? I'll get to dinner afterwards."
"Sounds like a plan." They're walking into the hut, arms around each other's hips...
...why are my eyes stinging...?
-!!-!
Kagome never came back for me...or for dinner. I just sat where she had dropped me...I didn't have anything better to do...so I just pulled out my diary and started writing...I guess I shouldn't...feel bad, you know...they look so...good together...I...I...should be happy for them...after all, if she and I were together...it would be so...odd...she, so beautiful, and me...a fluffball...
But I can't stop feeling horribly. I know I shouldn't...but nothing is making me feel better. I made more Ramen, hoping to lure them back out of the hut, but to no avail. I just ate as much as I could and left the rest out for Sango and Miroku...although I know they won't be back for a while (more bathing fun). Kirara's off hunting...so I guess I'm all alone for a while...but it's okay, I've been alone before...after all, the moon only just rose...
The moon's only a quarter of the way across the sky...
It's only...almost...morning...doesn't anyone want the Ramen...?
And...I hesitate to write this, but...Kagome and Inuyasha...were...having sex...oh God, writing it just makes it more real...I could hear them...I could smell them...don't they have any shame? What am I going to do...?
I guess I shouldn't do anything...what CAN I do...? If I do something, then everyone will know my secret...they'll hate me...I don't want them to ever know.
Oh, Sango and Miroku are returning...it looks like they had fun during the night...
"Oh, Shippo, what are you doing up at the crack of dawn?" Well, Sango, I'm not quite sure...I can't tell you what kept me up...
"I...I made Ramen, last night...I can reheat it, if you want..." I can hear the pathetic note in my voice even as I speak.
"Are you okay? Your fur's matted on your face...did it rain while we were gone?" Always the concerned one, aren't you monk...? Well where were you last night?
"It was dewy this morning."
"Oh...well...where are Inuyasha and Kagome?" Sango, don't look at me like that, I'm not going to bite your ass off.
"In the hut."
"Ah." Yes, Miroku looks like he understands what happened..."Did they spend the whole night together in there?"
"Yes." I can feel the heat flow through my eyes...
"Ah." Why don't you say something else, monk?
"Shippo...where did you spend the night, if they were in there...?" Ah, thank you for your concern, Sango.
"Around camp." I'm not going to tell her that I sat in one spot the whole night, and my muscles are just now feeling the aftermath...after all that sitting and not moving for a while, they are searing with painful cramps.
"Shippo..."
I wonder what she can possibly say to make me feel better.
She's...stroking my head. It feels pretty nice, actually. "Be strong." And now she's walking away again with the monk. But I don't feel bad...I feel...stronger...
Thanks, Sango.
-------------------------------------------------------
I couldn't think of another way to end it...I was afraid it was going to drag on and on for a while. And then I'd only have a 2 chapter story...I think it's been pretty good so far for having no idea where it's headed (well except for one thing). Soo if you have plot suggestions, by all means, SUGGEST THEM! If I like them, I'll incorporate them.
There aren't any extras this time...that must make some of you VERY happy.
Please R and R! I'll try to update as soon as possible!
