Candy is Dandy
Disclaimer: Neither of us own Inuyasha. W.W. owns Ankhale Suneye and Ligerrain Melhas.
Ankha - "Melhas. What a name."
Rain - "Oh, yeah, 'Suneye'. You have room to talk."

In the morning, it was obvious that Ankha was avoiding Rain, while he continually stared thoughtfully at her or into space. It was even evident to Inuyasha that something was up between the two.
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
Inuyasha - "What's that supposed to mean!"
W.W.- "Oh, nothing, nothing..."
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
Rain had much to think on. The more answers he got from Ankha, the more questions he wanted to ask. Who had raised her, why had she killed him, and what had made her decide to become an assassin?
Ankha had her own questions. How could she have opened up even that little bit? She had one goal: Revenge. People and friends just complicated things. She had figured this out long ago. But, wait; What about after revenge had been achieved? What then? She had never thought about it before. She shoved the unwelcome thought out of her head. What would happen after would happen. First and foremost came revenge.
A bit more than a month passed as they waited for the missing pair to come back. The cat demon wondered why humans took so long to heal. She had been mean to Rain until it was apparent to her that he didn't take her seriously, that he was still sympathetic. So she ignored him. He didn't question her about her past again. Then, one day...
Ankha heard a noise, interrupting the story she had been telling Shippo. She looked up the road and her eye's widened. Miroku? Sango? Was Sango fatter? ARE THEY HOLDING HANDS!
Shippo yelled to them. "Hi! Can we go now?"
3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.
"You did what?"
Calmly Sango sat in front of the fire, soaking in warmth, ignoring the bewildered Kagome. Then she said,
"We got married. A month ago." She placed her hand in the equally calm Miroku's grip. "And I haven't even told you all my news yet."
Ankha spoke from her place around the fire. "You're pregnant." She said with certainty.
Sango looked startled. "Y-yes. How did you know? I'm barely showing."
"You're happy. Very happy. Marrying a lecherous monk couldn't of made you that happy, so you must be pregnant." Sango laughed as Miroku protested.
"Hey, I'm not lecherous anymore, I'm married."
"You can change a leopard's name but not his spots."
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
Miroku - "Still a little confused over that one."
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
"Stop bickering, you two!" Said an overjoyed Kagome. "We must celebrate! I've been saving this for a special occasion." She dug in her bag and pulled out... CANDY! Lots and lots of it! Chocolate bars, Sugar Daddies, Candy Canes, and Malted Milk Balls. Mouth watering, delicious
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
B.B.- "Ah-hem?"
W.W.- "Sorry. I have a candy craving."
B.B.- "And?"
W.W.- (sourly) "We can get back the story now."
B.B.- "Thank you. R + R, readers!
W.W.- (whispers) "Send candy!"
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
Shippo was thrilled. "Candy!" He said, and started to grab at it and stuff it in his mouth.
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
W.W.- "Lots of candy."
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
Kagome handed a chocolate bar to Ankha. Tentatively, the cat demon nibbled on the corner. Her eyes widened in surprise. It was good!
Sango and Miroku had been introduced to Rain before their unsettling announcements. Now, as they laughed at the candy greedy Shippo, he watched Ankha out of the corner of his eye. He watched as she tried a bigger bite and then, slowly chewed it, her eyes closed, savoring the taste. If he strained his ears, he could hear her purring faintly.
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
B.B.- (Purr, purr, purr)
W.W.- "What are you purring about?"
B.B.- (purr, smile, close eyes, purr)
W.W.- (looking in B.B.'s hand, yelling) "Chocolate!"
B.B.-(hiss) "Mine!"
W.W.- "Gimmie!...Ow, she bit me!"
B.B.- "Hands off!"
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
W.W.- "You don't purr, stupid. That's me."
B.B.- "Why not?"
W.W.- "Dogs don't purr."
B.B.- "Oh."
Miroku - "Ladies, can you please get back to the story?" (Touches their butts)
B.B. + W.W. -"Ahh!" (Slap, slap)
Miroku - (thunk. Lays sprawled on ground)
B.B.- "Oh, no! It was an accident!"
W.W.- (Sniffs) "Good riddance to bad rubbish, as they say."
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
W.W.- "Truck loads of candy and hot guys in boxers."
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
Rain walked over to where Ankha sat with the chocolate. Quietly, he sat beside her and said "May I have a piece?"
Startled, Ankha looked up. She had concentrated so much on the chocolate, she hadn't noticed him. Meeting his eyes, she glared and asked "Why? You can get your own, can't you?"
"But if I don't like it, the whole bar would be wasted." Unable to think of a reason to waste heaven, shuddering at the thoughteven, she grudgingly handed a piece to him. He brushed her hand slightly as he took the candy. Ankha yanked her hand back as if it had been burned. Rain pretended not to notice.
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
W.W.- "Briefs are good too."
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
Rain popped the chocolate into his mouth. He let it melt on his tongue, rather than chewing it. 'Oh, my!' It was good!
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
B.B.- "Speedos?"
W.W.- "SPEEDOS!"
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
He went and got his own bar. Ankha thought that now he would leave her alone, but he didn't. He came back. And not only that, but he sat down. Songo saw him wrestle the chocolate from Shippo, and walk towards the cat demon again. She nudged Miroku and slyly indicated the pair. The monk smiled and grabbed her hand.
Ankha was uncomfortable. He was sitting way too close! If she moved her leg one bit, even just a centimeter, it would touch his. But she was enjoying her chocolate too much to move. Besides, she had sat here first. So there. An uneasy silence settled over them, as the small party went on, Inuyasha and Shippo fighting over candy, Kagome talking to the newlyweds, Miroku and Sango themselves exchanging long, loving looks.
Her candy bar finished, Ankha quickly jumped up and went to congratulateSango and Miroku
"I'd like you to have this." From within the depths of her cloak, she produced a large bag tied with a gold chain that had an odd charm on it. Inside the bag was a large amount of gold coins. "You'll need it to raise a baby." She said when they tried to give it back.
"What does this charm mean?" Asked Sango, after she had thanked the cat many times for her gifts. It was a good question, for it was an odd symbol. Take a cross, and mix it with an upside down tear drop at high speed and you'll get something like it.
"It's an Ankh." She replied. "It means 'Eternal life'. I chose my name from it. If ever you need me when I'm not around, whisper my name to it. The matching one I wear," she pulled it out "will start to heat, and I'll come as fast as possible." They thanked her again. Ankha felt embarrassed by their gratitude, so much so that the tips of her ears, normally white, turned red. Then Rain came up to give his gift. It was a tradition, but since none of them had anything really baby-ish to give, the just gave whatever they could. Rain's gift was a beautifully crafted dagger, eight inches long, double edged, a gilded hilt, and a small ruby in the pommel. Inuyasha was going to give them Shippo, but the foxling bit his hand and scampered out of reach. Kagome gave them
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
W.W.- "CANDY!"
B.B.- "Fine, candy."
W.W.- "YAY!"
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
candy. It was all that she could give. After all, none of them had gone baby shopping. Candy's good, though.
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
B.B.- "Ok, shut up about the candy now. The story needs to continue." (Evil laugh) "And it's my turn."
W.W.- (Unaware of the danger she had just put the readers in) "One last thing. Boxers + Briefs + Speedos It's all good."
B.B.- (Grabbing for note book) "Mine, MINE!"
W.W.- "Fine!" (Tosses story) "Go get it." (Twirls finger next to head)
B.B.- "I saw that."
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
A twig snapped, and everyone turned, as a man in a baboon pelt walked in from the shadows.
"Naraku!" Growled Inuyasha.
"Settle, mutt." Naraku shifted his pelt. "Ankha, your–"
"Who are you? Who gave you permission to use my name?" Ankha asked, her voice full of attitude and anger. How dare this man speak to her in such a manner! "I am the Black Lullaby." Rudeness called for rudeness.
"Your parents–" Naraku was cut off again by the cat demon.
"What of my parents? They're dead."
Becoming very annoyed, he said "Sako." Ankha tried to ask what he said, but could not. "As I was saying, your parents were killed by men hired by a fox demon." He then ended the spell on Ankha.
"Who are you?" Ankha repeated as he walked away. "Bastard." She said under her
breath. They then heard a small voice call out. "Lord Sesshomiru? Where are you?"
"Over here, Rin." Sessho answered in a low voice.
A small girl that couldn't be older than Shippo came from the woods. "There you are, my lord. You were gone a long time."
"Rin, I want you to follow Naraku."
"Yes, my lord." Came the cheery reply, as she turned on a dime to follow the great demon, Naraku.
"She's only a child!" yelled Sango. "And you sent her on such a dangerous quest! Who do you think you are?"
"I know her. She can handle herself."
"Yeah." Came a voice.
"Inuyasha!" Screamed Sango.
Miroku leaned closer to her ear. "Did he just defend his brother?" A bit of amusement and alarm in the monks voice. "Prepare for the apocalypse!" Sango looked in shock at Inuyasha.
"What are you staring at?" He asked Sango, looking around. "Uh, not to alarm anyone, but the cat is gone."
"WHAT!" Yelled Rain, looking to either side of him, searching for the assassin. 'Where could she have gone?'
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
W.W.- "Where are you going with this?"
B.B.- "...Nope."
W.W.- "What do you mean, 'nope'?"
B.B.- "Not telling."
W.W.- "Fine." (Walks away)
B.B.- "(whispering to you) "I don't know where I'm going with this... really."
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
B.B.- (In a British accent) "There's a bloody scene coming up."
W.W.- "When?"
B.B.- "Right bloody now! Get off my back!... No, really, get off my back, you're really heavy."
W.W.- "Awwww..."
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
Ankha ran, smelling the air for any fox demons. Finally, she caught a scent.
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
Ankha - "You're making me sound like a dog."
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
"I'll kill every last fox!" she hissed. She continued running, following the scent. She ran into a clearing that smelled intensely of fox. The fire pit was still smoking. "I just missed it." She muttered to herself.
"Missed what?" A woman with black hair and blue eyes walked from the woods, smelling completely fox.
"Who are you?" Fully alert, Ankha turned.
A funnel appeared behind the human woman. "I am Talabinya Karlaya." Seeing the woman step back into the swirling clouds as the sky grew dark spooked Ankha.
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
Ankha - "Did not!"
B.B.- "Yes, you were."
Ankha - "No, I was NOT!"
B.B.- "You were shaking like a leaf."
Ankha - "I was cold." (Hugging self) "Brrr. Cold."
B.B.- "Sure..."
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
Lightning struck the side of the cloud and a scream and the stench of fox emerged. The funnel disappeared to reveal an animal in the shape of a fox with nine tails. It had a black coat, but it's tails and ears were tipped in silver.
Ankha lengthened her claws in preparation and watched as the fox quickly scaled a tree and flipped off it. Ankha thought the fox had gone insane, but when the creature landed, it showed itself to be a black fox/human. She had a human body and head, but she also had fox ears, fangs and tails, the tails and ears still tipped with silver. Her eyes, once a deep blue, had turned into a light blue etched in silver.
"I'm going to kill you, fox." Hissed Ankha.
"What for, cat?" Growled Talabinya with surprise. "Why would you want to fight me, the Dark Fox, mate to Kurama, the Spirit Fox?"
"You had men kill my parents." Ankha clinked her metal claws together, then ran full speed at the fox woman. She was much faster than Talabinya. The cat demons claws sliced into Talabinya's neck, and blood sprayed out, covering Ankha with the blood of her enemy.
It didn't take long for the fox to lie in a puddle of her own blood, her lungs pleading for air. "You will die as slowly as my parents did."
A laugh rang through the trees. "I've tricked you into killing my daughter, The Dark Fox." Said Naraku. Unseen, Rin ran back to Sesshomiru.
3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.
"I still don't understand why you released Naraku." Kagome was saying.
Rin ran into their midst, yelling. "My lord, my lord, I bring terrible news! Lady Talabinya has been killed!"
"WHAT!" Everyone was shocked to hear of the death of Sesshomiru's mother-in-law. "I'll kill Naraku for this."
"It was not Naraku." Ankha walked in from the forest, covered in blood. She looked at her feet. "I killed your mate's mother. But–"
"I'll kill you." Everyone turned to see a Third Level Bounty Hunter standing behind them.
"Friend of yours, Rain?" Inuyasha asked nastily.
Rain saw a gold band on the Hunters left ring finger. "What are you doing here, third class? You should be at home with your wife."
"I have no wife." Was the husky reply, tinted with laughter.
"No wife?" Rain took up the other Hunter's hand and showed off the ring. "It looks as though you have a wife."
Casting aside the cloak, they saw that this hunter was, in fact, a woman. "I have no wife." she repeated firmly.
"I'm sorry." Rain said sheepishly. Lower level or not, rudeness was still rude.
"Who are you?" Surprised by such a familiar voice, everyone turned, to see Talabinya.
"A traveler." Was the husky reply.
"Is it not your job to catch assassin's with bounties on their heads?" The fox demon now stood in front of the Hunter.
"Yes." Came the short answer.
"Than where were you, when I was attacked?"
"I was finishing up doing the things necessary to become a Third Level Bounty Hunter." Was there a sound of hurt in the hunter's voice? "I had skipped the second level and went straight to third." Was that a tear rolling down her face?
"Oh." Talabinya started to walk away from the Bounty Hunter, not knowing the hunter
was someone very close to her heart.
"I am the half breed." The voice stopped Talabinya from leaving. "But you may call me Loeyla or... Daughter." Sesshomiru looked at his mate in surprise.
"Loeyla?" Sesshomiru asked, not sure of what he had heard.
"Yes, my love, it is me." Loeyla now moved her hair from her face to show her extraordinary violet eyes.
"Why do you call yourself half breed?" He said while hugging his mate. She closed her
eyes, glad to be enfolded once again in his love.
"I found a way to make myself half fox, half wolf."
"I told you she could handle herself." Kagome said with a smirk.
Loeyla's eyes opened to see Shippo and a giant pile of candy. Quickly she broke free of Sessho to dig through the pile. Finding what she wanted she screamed "BUTTER FINGER!" It was huge, about two feet long and half a foot wide.
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
B.B- "Sorry, my mom just pulled out a bag of mini fun-sized butter fingers." (Starts to cry)
W.W.- (Alarmed) "What are you crying about?"
B.B.- "My mom won't let me have any."
W.W.- "Your mom's a bitch."
Inuyasha - "She's not a bitch until she takes away your ramen."
B.B.- "She doesn't buy raman anymore."
Inuyasha - "Your mom's a bitch."
B.B.- "I know. (Pauses, looks around) "Sorry, I'll get back to the story."
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
"What's the celebration?" Loeyla asked with her candy bar halfway in her mouth.
"Sango and Miroku got married." Sessho laughed.
"That's good." Still trying to shove the candy into her mouth, she continued "Now he won't be such a lech."
"Sango's pregnant, too!" Exclaimed Kagome. Loeyla choked. "Pregnant?" Sango and Miroku looked at one another lovingly. "I guess you finally found someone to bear your children, Miroku." Loeyla finished her Butter Finger and sat in front of Sango. Formally, she said "At this great occasion of learning, Sango the Demon Slayer, I present to you a charm of good health." This she gave to Sango now. "And protection for you and your unborn child. And to you, Monk Miroku, I give a spell of sleep to cast upon yourself on restless nights." She handed Miroku the piece of paper. "And the promise that I will stay with you until childbirth." Then she whispered to him, "She'll have many mood swings and unnatural cravings."
"Thank you!" They both exclaimed, Sango over the gifts, Miroku over the information.
"Have you given any thought to a midwife?" When they looked at her oddly, she sighed. "You must look into the future. This child shall be birthed in the spring. You need to schedule a midwife."
Miroku looked at Sango. "She's right, you know. Monks often end up acting as
midwives, but we're not the best."
"It's mostly monks, but an occasional Bounty Hunter has had to act as a midwife." Rain confirmed. "I had to myself once." Miroku looked at him questioningly. "NO. I'm never doing that again."
"It's improper for a man to be in a room with a woman giving birth, anyway." Everyone looked back at Loeyla. "Many men faint during the birthing process. It's too much for their systems." She looked away. "I met a few women who had to have Monks deliver their babies. Half said that the monk fainted, the others said he was fine or he vomited shortly after or during. Yeah, sure they can sprinkle holy water on them and bless them right there in the labor room. But that's only if he's woke up, or finishes vomiting to return to your bedside." Everyone was surprised to hear how much Loeyla knew on the subject. "What? Did I say something wrong?"
"No, if fact you said everything right. Sango, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"I think so." Sango turned to Loeyla. "I would be honored, Loeyla, if you would be my midwife."
Shocked by this twist, yet delighted at the same time, Loeyla replied "It would be my honor." Then, remembering that she didn't know how to birth a baby, she said "I'll need to go to the Bone Eater's Well, Kagome."
"Why?"
"I need to talk to a doctor."
"What for? Are you sick?"
"No, I'm not sick."
"Then why do you need to talk to a doctor?"
"Because I don't know how to be a midwife." Everyone fell (anime style). Kagome was the first up. "Let's go, then."
"Why so soon?" Sessho was holding Loeyla protectively.
"Because..." With some difficulty Loeyla got free. "It takes nine months to train to be a good midwife. How close are we to the Well, Kagome?"
"Very close." Kagome walked over to the edge of the clearing. She moved some vines to show another clearing and the Well.
"Wow." Everyone became wide eyed. "How'd you know?"
"I saw it a while back." She said. "Stop staring. Loeyla, let's go."

B.B.- "That's it."
Loeyla - "That's what?"
B.B.- "I'm pooped."
W.W.- "Is it my story now?"
B.B.- (Holds notebook protectively) "It's our story. You just get to write some more."
W.W.- "Give it here!" (Grabs story away.)
B.B.- (breaks down crying) "My baby, my baby, be careful with my baby!"
W.W.- "Okay." (Rolls her eyes) "Whatever."
B.B.- (hysterical) "Don't roll your eyes at me! You be careful with my baby, or I'll, I'll"
W.W.- "You'll what?"
B.B.- "I'll kill you!"
W.W.- "How?" (Not believing her)
B.B.- "I'll gouge your eyes out and rip out your spine."
W.W.- (Sweat bead) "Okay, okay." (Holds story like a baby)
B.B.- "Aw, it's sleeping."
