THE RECAP!
"ACT MY AGE, INUYASHA? YOU WANT ME TO ACT MY AGE? DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW OLD I AM? DO YOU—"
…I said too much…they're looking at me like I'm crazy…they know that I'm older than I appear…
"Shippo…" Oh Kagome, don't look at me like that…
…Even Inuyasha looks sympathetic...albeit more shocked, but still…
"I…" What can I say…? What can I do…?
The only thing I know how to do…run away.
Voila. A recap for the general masses. THAT ARE THE COOLEST MASSES EVAH! Know why? Because y'all are reading THIS story! YAY!
Ahem. Summer has arrived for everyone in the US (apparently not for those in Europe, or so I've heard). Well most everyone. At any rate for me. Which is why I've had time to update!
Review response time!
A Fan—hmmm I'm glad you're a fan! I always thought Shippo was a little older too…and I always pondered what he would be like when he got physically older. I'll update soon! As in now! Thank you for your lovely review! Hearts!
Fan—hmmm another person called fan…yaaay! Well yours was shorter, but I loved it anyway! I shall update soon! Actually…now!
Dancing barefoot in my socks—okay the coke was in a Styrofoam cup…with a lid that you couldn't see through. I slurped through the straw and was punished with brown bubbly pain up my nose. HOW FUN. I'm so glad I have your sympathies for my crampies…ergh. Souten is the little thunder demon Shippo meets (in one of the newer episodes)…they fight over crayons (hehehe). I'm staying here for Christmas…which is quite nice I think. Do you want to be in the story? Okay…I shall have fun with this then :D. MWAHAHAHA.
Oshan—is this a Me, Myself and Irene rip-off? Cuz if it is, I've never seen that movie. It just reminded me of the title. Yeah, I'm crazy. Jealous? (anyone see that SNL where they made fun of America's Next Top Model?)
Impatient Girl—you reviewed twice with the same comment…and I'm confounded by it. Yeah why is WHAT? It could be anything.
KagSesslove—it is a weird little side story…I suppose it was a spur of the moment bit, you know, when you've eaten a lot of sugar and just start going crazy. Hehe.
KagSesslove—Hehehe well at least you get food while your rampaging female family is on the loose…soo lucky you're not a girl. Although that is still tough.
I realize that Shippo's been slightly moody in all the previous chapters. Well not moody as much as BROODY.
Shippo: Maybe if you FED ME I wouldn't be so broody.
Me: Maybe if you DID WHAT I TOLD YOU TO I wouldn't have to feed you to the rabid raccoons.
Shippo: …rabid raccoons?
Rabid Raccoons: WOAAAARRRR!
Rin: GRAR!
Me: Rin, what are you doing here?
Rin: The raccoons are my family. Ehehehehe.
Me: Back awaaaaay slowly…
Anyway. So since he's been a little broody, this chapter SHOULD (but I never know where I go when I write) be a little less of moody Shippo.
The writing style will also be changing! It's getting a little hard to never use dialogue tags to tell ya who's talking when without them. I'm sure you'll adapt. I won't use them if I don't have to, but if I do, well…that's why they were created.
Oh crap, that means I'm screwed if I STILL make it unclear…well if anyone asks, Kikyo made me do it. The wench.
And now the news.
Female Newscaster: And now, for some more shocking news for the day…BAZOOIE DOES NOT OWN INUYASHA!
Audience: GASP!
Newscaster: It is hard for us ALL to bear, I know. I was going to sell my extremely hot, kind, sexy, talented doctor husband to her in order to obtain copyrights on Inuyasha!
Female fan: OH GOD, NOT ANTONY, NOOOO! HE'S…SO DELICIOUSLY HOT! You CAN'T sell him!
Newscaster: Never fear, for I did not sell my hot Antony! Although I would have for Inuyasha…he means THAT much to me!
Lawyer: Wait, Barbra, you DID sell your husband to Bazooie!
Newscaster: WHAT?
Lawyer: You sold him for…a used gum wrapper…
(Audience sweatdrops)
Newscaster: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Bazooie: HAHAHA AND NOW I HAVE YOUR HOT HUSBAND ANTONY!
Antony: And for picking me, Bazooie, I shall make your evening filled with hot, passionate games.
Bazooie: Like battleship?
Antony: …sure, let's go with that.
(We dash off)
Okay all of that was the disclaimer…BY THE WAY…I try to make them creative. You know, make you entertained…that's what I live for, people, that's what I live for.
This ------ (you see that?) means the story is starting or ending. But it won't appear for some reason, so it starts when I say start! And it ends when I say it's over!
!-! Means Shippo got disturbed from writing and is doing something in the real world or he's writing once again after being interrupted.
start!
I've been running for a while. I'm…not quite sure where I am. There are a lot of trees around, and it's foggy, and the trees don't have leaves. Basically it looks like a creepy haunted forest. Oh wait…what if it IS one of the haunted forests? This could be the one that Kagome told us about around the campfire a few nights ago…where there was a family that ran out of money. Some bandits had strewn salt on the land, so they couldn't grow any food. They started getting hungry. So they went out hunting and found a small kitsune kit to eat…wait I see a shadow in the fog! IT'S THE FATHER WITH THE KNIFE AND HE'S GONNA STAB ME!
!-!
"W-w-who's there?" I warn you, I HAVE A PEN! "I'm armed to the t-t-teeth and I know ju—umm, tae…ju-tae-kara-do!"
"Then use your 'ju-tae-kara-do', KITSUNE BRAT! I'm coming for you!" Ahh! Well at least I know it's not the father…it's one of the creepy daughters with the limp who won't ever stop hunting you until she sees blood!
"BACK OFF, LIMPING DEMON GIRL! YOU WON'T GET ME!" Especially if I take off running!
Ahhh! She's following me! GO AWAY, DEMON GIRL!
"DEMON GIRL, AM I? COME SAY THAT TO MY FACE, YOU OVERGROWN PUFFBALL!"
"NOTHING WILL MAKE ME TURN AROUND! I'M GETTING AWAY FROM YOU!"
"COWARD! I'LL MAKE YOU STOP!" She's gonna throw something at me, isn't she!
"DON'T THROW CRAYONS, THAT'S NOT FAIR!" Wait, crayons? "WHO THROWS A CRAYON?"
"I DO, SO STOP BEFORE I LAUNCH ONE UP YOUR BUTT CRACK!" Oh like hell you will!
"YOU CAN'T EAT ME! I'LL EAT YOU FIRST!" I gotta charge her down! Here goes my wellbeing! "AAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Shippo, WAIT!"
Well THAT made me stop.
"How…do you know my name?"
"Shippo, can you not tell who I am?" Well…let's see…long dark hair, looks to be about 18 human years, smells like a demon, red eyes, wearing the shortest skirt known to man (even shorter than Kagome's) and a black, tight tank top that tapers off to end just above her bellybutton, a pack of 386 crayons is strapped to a black belt low on her hips, about 90 of the crayons are missing, the skirt's red, and she's wearing thigh high boots. And she's the hottest thing I've ever seen, including Kagome.
Yeah, if I'd met her, I'd remember.
"I have no idea who you are."
"WHY THE HELL NOT? You SERIOUSLY don't remember who I am?"
"Can't say I do…and you don't look at all like Kagome described you."
"…WHAT!"
"Like the girl in the story with the bowl haircut and the kimono and the possessed eyes. But I suppose if you're still set on eating me, I'm gonna take you down."
"I don't know what the hell you're talking about and I don't wanna EAT you. But I don't see how you can't—" She looked down at her outfit…"OH! Well no wonder you couldn't recognize me!"
…? She's dissolved into a cloud! Oh great, now she blends into the fog. Wait, I can see a shadow in there…that's shrinking?
"There!" Well at least the cloud's going away so I can—OH MY GOD!
THAT'S SOUTEN?
"SOUTEN?"
"YES! Yay, Shippo, you remember me!" Oh God, she's DANCING. The little pudgy fluffball is DANCING.
"Oh GOD, that was YOU a second ago?"
"Yep!"
"GO BACK TO THAT, GO BACK!"
"Hey, I just changed, so I'm not changing back so soon. You're just gonna have to wait." The sexy clothes…they're so…baggy on her…the tank top now goes down to her knees and the miniskirt is no longer such since it goes to her ankles. The boots got lost…wonder where they went? And her hair's back now in a puffy high bun much like mine. DAMMIT.
"How can you change like that?"
"Well…I dunno, it's more like a question of will. The older I get, the harder it is to go back to this form. But I can still hold my younger shape, if I really want to."
"Why would you WANT to stay younger?"
She's staring at me. "I could ask you the same question."
"You can…tell that I'm older than I let on?"
"It took me a while to realize, but I finally did."
"How? When? HOW?"
"Well…because you had the same look on your face that I did. Like your skin's too tight." I'll admit, she does look a little stretched…do I LOOK LIKE THAT?
"And yes, you do look like me right now." When could she read minds? "And if you're wondering if I just read your mind, you just had that shocked look on your face." Well as much as that response makes me think she can read my mind, I'll just let it go.
"So how do I…change like you do?"
"You mean get older?"
"Yeah, that. How would I go about doing that?"
Oh great, now she's grinning. That means pain and suffering. "You have to tell someone why you wanted to stay younger."
"And how do you KNOW all this?"
Well at least the grin doesn't look so evil. "I had the same problem…"
"Wanna talk about it?" Well I can at least try to be nice.
"I'll only tell if you tell." Oh fine.
"Well…I wanted to stay younger because I really like Kagome and I don't think she'd like me if I got older since I really can't compete with Inuyasha who likes her too he just won't admit it but that's why I wanted to stay younger so she'd still pay attention to me." Wow I didn't know I could talk that fast.
"Now all you have to do is let all that fear go." Maybe if you let go of my paws, I could concentrate.
"I'm sorry, what'd you say?"
"Let all that fluffball anxiety go."
"How?"
"Convince yourself."
Convince myself…what does THAT mean? Well…I guess…Kagome'll probably still like me, even if I'm older and different…she won't be nearly as cuddly cuz I won't be as cute, but she'll still be my friend…and I guess I don't really LOVE Kagome…I just got fixated on her since she was like my mom only not so no incest…and Inuyasha and Kagome fit together…I want them to be happy…and I still fit into that.
"Did you do it?" Yeah smile all you want, now that you've changed back to your older self.
"Yeah, I did it. What the hell are you, my conscience?"
Aww she laughed. How adorable. "Now just look down."
HOLY CRAP THE GROUND'S FARTHER AWAY! And my pants just became capris…albeit baggy ones. My little vest grew with me, as did my shirt…I don't understand this process at all.
"You wanna see how you look?" She's leading me to a little creek…the sun's risen up, so the fog's going away, so I can see now.
Hey! I don't look that bad! My face elongated a little, but it looks like I fit it more. My hair looks healthy and unelectrocuted and NOT in the sad little blow! And my shoulders filled out better…my paws are tan hands now, although armed with long claws. And everything's more muscled. OH YEAH.
"I'll admit it's a change from what I'm used to…but it's for the better, I suppose."
She's smiling again. Oh and giving me the once over. "Yeah, I'd say so."
"Hey, you never told me why YOU wanted to stay younger."
"Oh, er yes, umm…" HA SHE'S BLUSHING!
"Just say it."
"Promise not to laugh?" It's obviously going to be good if she's fidgeting like that.
"Yeah, I promise."
"Okay well…I wanted to stay the same size as you." Is it possible for her to get redder?
"Hehehehehehe…wait seriously?"
"YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN'T LAUGH!"
"Hey, don't shove me!"
"I'll do what I want!" Oh that's it, she's going down! She's jumping all about the forest and I'm launching after her with my newfound agility and strength. Ooh I just took down a tree! Oops. And nearly took out Souten in the process.
"YOU ALMOST HIT ME!"
"Whaddya gonna do about it?"
"IDIOT!" Oww, pinning against a tree and not letting up is NOT nice! Gotta make her loosen her grip on my arms…
"You're the sexiest demon I've ever met!" Ahaha now that her grip's loosened I can break out and do THIS!
"Hey, you can't pin ME to a tree! LET GO!"
"Well you just did!"
"I'm allowed to, I'm a girl!"
"I can see that." She's blushing again…oh I am sooo evil sometimes .
"Shippo…" Oh drat, maybe I pushed too far. I'll let her go then.
"Did you mean what you said a second ago?"
"That I can see you're a girl? Yeah—"
"No, no, not that. The other thing. Do you really think I'm sexy?"
Oh great, point to me for putting myself in an awkward situation.
"Well…" great now I'm blushing. "Yes."
"So you think I'm seeexy…"
"Yes…"
"You think I'm sexy…"
"For the love of GOD, YES, ALRIGHT?"
"You think I'm sexy!"
"STOP SINGING IT IN THAT VOICE, I'LL TAKE IT BACK."
"Shippo thinks I'm sexy, Shippo thinks I'm sexy…"
"STOP SINGING LIKE THAT!"
"HEY EVERYONE, SHIPPO THINKS I'M SEXY!"
"Yeah, I heard him say it." OH MY GOD WHEN'D A FARMER GET HERE?
…And he's not leaving, just leering at Souten…
"So you gonna give him some?"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ON?" Souten's gonna pop a blood vessel...I so don't blame her….
"Well if not him, then me?"
"OH THAT'S DISGUSTING. GET OUT OF HERE!"
"You know you want some of this." Oh GOD HE'S SHAKING HIS ASS AT US.
"Souten told you to get out of here, so do it, you disgusting pervert."
Okay he's still shaking his ass and he isn't leaving. Time for plan b: DECAPITATION.
And when I say decapitation, I mean his OTHER head.
this is a lapse in time
"Thanks, Shippo. That farmer was creepy." We got out of there after I'd finished with him. Now that my hand's been purged by soap and river water, I think I'll be ok.
"You are so welcome."
"Shippo?"
"What?"
"That was really nice of you."
"I only did what was necessary to rid the world of a pervert."
"Yeah, but you defended me."
"Sure we'll go with that."
"You know…" Hmm her hands are on my chest. I like that. "I'm glad you got older."
"Why?"
"So we can do things like this." She leans in and gives me a lovely, heavenly, I'm-going-to-explode kiss. And I so kiss back, what am I, DAFT? Of course I kiss back.
And then we part, dammit.
"Since when'd you get so forward, Souten?" My breath's a little fast. Oooh my first kiss, yesssssss yes yes.
"I dunno. Just something about you brings it out in me." My hands go around her waist.
"I don't mind a bit."
it's over!
YAY! Well now another chappie's done. There will be one more, I think…well at least one more. I don't think there'll be more. I'm unsure though. I finally updated! Huzzah! And Shippo WASN'T moody, he was just horny! NOT SO ADORABLE NOW, IS HE!
Souten: No, now he's drop dead sexy.
Me: Who asked?
Souten: You. Hey guess what, I'm not a virgin anymore.
Me: AWKWARD AWKWARD AWKWARD NEVER EVER TELL ME THAT AGAIN I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA.
And obviously whoever tells you an author has control of all the people she's writing about is WRONG! Quiet Souten. Oh and sorry for the cheesy moral somewhere in there. Screw morals.
Well R&R soon please! It'll boost your karma points!
