Part 3: The Hanyou

AN: I'm still writing! You know, this has been a very easy story for me to write, mostly because it's a parody XP. I don't own either component of this take-off like thing, either, those being The Wizard of Oz and Inuyasha.

I'm glad you like it, Kato Shingetsu!! I sure hope you still like it, and that other people will read it and like it, too! (Sobs quietly from lack of reviews)

Sango had been making her way down the Green Stone Path for quite some time now. Kilala walked at her heels, eyeing the new landscape carefully. After a while of walking through lush fields and meadows outside of Pipsqueak Town, they entered a forest. It was a little bit darker and danker than woods usually are, but nothing too ominous. Suddenly, they came upon a fork in the road.

Sango sighed. "Great, we've been walking for all this time, and now we don't know which way is the one to Sapphire Town!" She stared at the road with her hands on her hips, trying to figure out which might be the one Kagome had sent her toward. Kilala sniffed around, trying to find some trace of a clue.

As she began to lose hope, she looked up at the first tree in the gap between the walkways and gasped. Pinned to it with an arrow was a strange looking boy. He wore all red, and had flowing silver hair. On top of his head were two cat-like ears, or maybe they were dog, she couldn't tell. Vines were wrapped around his body, and he had apparently been left there like that for quite some time.

"That poor creature," she muttered. "I wonder if got attacked or something while trying to find Sapphire Town?" She again started looking around the area to see what could be the correct direction.

"Let's not get into that," a voice suddenly said. Sango and Kilala looked up in surprise; the guy pinned to the tree was actually talking!

"Did... you just say something?" Sango asked, making sure she wasn't hearing things.

"Well, it wasn't the tree, moron," he replied, now opening his eyes and frowning at her. "You wanna do me a favor and get me down from here?"

"Do you know the way to Sapphire Town?" she asked, not totally trusting this person who by all rights should be dead.

"What?!" he exclaimed. "Why should I care about stupid Sapphire Town?! I'm stuck to a tree, for crying out loud!!! Get me down from here!!!" He struggled underneath the vines, but nothing else seemed to move.

"If I get you down, will you help me?"

"Why should I do that?"

"For one, I'll have just saved your life!" she retorted. "And two, there's a very powerful Youkai in Sapphire Town, and I need him to..."

"Did you just say a powerful Youkai?" the boy interrupted, looking at her inquisitively.

"Um, yes, but..."

"At last!" he cried, looking very happy. "I can go to this Youkai and have him change me from a pathetic Hanyou to a full blooded one like he is!"

Sango now looked very scared. He had to be kidding! A Hanyou? How was that even possible?

"So," she began slowly, not wanting to upset this thing any more than it all ready was, "if I get you down, will you come to Sapphire Town with me?" she asked, edging closer to him.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," he replied. "Just get this damn arrow out of me!"

"Hey, this is based off of a G-rated story!"

"Sorry..."

Sango carefully made her way up to the tree and slowly put her hand up to the arrow. She wrapped her hand around it in order to gently pull it out, however, when she had applied a light amount of force to it, it vanished in a strange, pink light.

"What just..." The Hanyou gave her a strange look. "Do you have the Scared Jewel or something?"

"Uh, yes, actually, I do."

"Well, that explains that," he said, suddenly breaking loose from the vines and causing Sango to fall backwards.

"Hey!" she exclaimed, frowning at him. "Why'd you do that?"

"I had to get out of there," he retorted. "Now, if you don't mind, I'll be on my way."

"What about helping me get to Sapphire Town?" she replied, standing up and stomping over to where he stood.

"Like I care about that place. It's so stupid there!"

"But the Youkai..."

"Oh yeah! I forgot about him!" the Hanyou exclaimed, looking excited. "I can finally become a real youkai myself!"

"Maybe you should ask him to give you a brain," Sango commented, realizing his short term memory was obviously not the best.

"What's that supposed to mean, miko?" he retorted, glaring at her.

"I'm not a miko! Kagome of the North gave me this jewel when my house fell on the Wicked Miko of the East!"

He started laughing. "You did what?!"

"Look, can we just get moving?" she said, hoping this guy would get on the same track as her.

"Get moving to where?" he replied, causing her to hang her head.

"To Sapphire Town, you idiot!!!" she screamed. "That way the Youkai can give you a brain!"

"I don't need a brain, I need to be a full-blooded Youkai, wench!"

"My name is Sango."

"Look," he began, as music suddenly started playing, "I'd be stronger than a..."

He stopped and looked toward the sky. "I am NOT going to sing!" he exclaimed, and the music stopped as strangely as it had begun.

"Whatever," Sango said, motioning to Kilala to come over beside her. "Let's just get going."

"Fine," he growled, starting down the road to the right.

"Is that the way to Sapphire Town?" she asked, starting to follow him.

"How should I know?" he replied. "I've just seen a lot of people go this way!"

Sango sighed and hurried to catch up with him. "Well, let's hurry up, then."

"Why?"

"Well, We're off to see the Youkai,
The wonderful Youkai of Oz..."

"What did I say about singing?" the Hanyou growled.

"Sorry," Sango replied, rolling her eyes and continuing down the Green Stone Path with her pet and her new companion.

AN: Yeah, that was a shorter one. It'll probably start being this short from now on. It's just how I'm writing it, so... yeah. Please review, I'll post the next part as soon as I can!
