A/N: My excuse for not updating can be summed up in one word. 'LIFE'. I must live life to the fullest each day, as it is supposedly short. Here's the second the last chapter…
Chibi Yasha
Chapter 9
"Out with it girl," Naraku had us all tied up. "Who is this 'Brother' person, and who is James Hurst?" He started to pace around us, really annoying, really. "Tell me, Kagome, who are these people?"
"Waaaaait a minute. Were you the one who stole my essay?" You know Kagome, I think it would be a safer if you just answered his questions.
"Kukukukukukuku. An essay you call it." Naraku looked brilliant for a moment. Then he ruined it, "What is an essay?"
"'Brother' and James Hurst are people from my essay!" A vein on Kagome's forehead was starting to pulse, "My essay would be the sheet of paper you stole from me!"
"Kagome…." Sango and Miroku who were on both sides of Kagome started nudging her, "This is Naraku you're talking to."
"Yes," Miroku said, "We must take all precaution."
"I don't care!" Kagome yelled, "That's my essay," She purified the tentacles that were tying her up, then stood up and pointed her finger at Naraku. "And I need it for school! My grades are low enough already, and I need to get better ones so I can get into a good high school!" We crept away from her, as the 'flames' surrounding her were getting too hot.
"Kukuku. 'School', 'essay', 'grades', what are these words, priestess, an incantation to destroy me?"
"If I knew an incantation to destroy you, I would have said it already!" She huffed, "Besides, don't you have any other evil laughs other then 'kukuku'? Whatever happened to the bwahahahaha?"
"I could use hohohoho, but that's to good." Naraku took a step towards Kagome. "Or ohohohoho, but old ladies laugh like that." He took another step, Kagome held her ground. "And hahahaha is just too happy." Naraku tilted Kagome's chin upward, out with the secret!"
An evil glint was seen in Kagome's eyes. She started to talk, "So, Naraku, what do you want to know?"
We all gasped in shock. Was she about to betray everyone!
Naraku smiled, "You now know the nature of your situation." We all rolled our eyes when Naraku 'kukukuku'ed again. "I will let you live a bit longer." A table and a pair of chairs appeared out of nowhere. "Let's sit and talk things out."
They both sat, Kagome first purifying our bonds so we were free, but she motioned us to stay still. Naraku never noticed when Sango put the still sleeping InuYasha in her lap.
"Miko, what does the sentence, 'Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return… to obtain, something of equal value must be lost… That is Alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange.', taken from Full Metal Alchemist, episode prologue.', mean?"
Kagome smiled, "Fullmetal Alchemist is a scroll (book). In it are rules and ways how people can use alchemy."
"Oh, really?" He looked into her eyes. "Prove it."
"I require pen and paper." Way to go, Kagome, boss Naraku around and hope he doesn't kill you.
"Kanna." Kanna appeared with a brush and a sheet of rice paper. She also had with her an ink stone, water, and a container.
Kagome took her time getting the ink ready. She thought for a moment. Then she drew a double circle, two triangles intersecting, flames on top of the circle, and a lizard on the bottom.
"There you have it." Kagome announced, "A transmutation circle."
"So, how does it work?" Well, Naraku was not the only clueless person. We all had question marks hanging above our heads.
"We need to wait for the ink to dry completely."
It was a really big transmutation thingy, and Kagome had used a lot of water. So we waited for an hour.
Meanwhile…
"How can I trust you?" Sesshomaru got his claws ready to attack.
"Do you think I want to work for that 'thing'?" Kagura huffed, "That bsturd has the human girl you saved. Don't you care?" She arched her eyebrows.
"Lead me to the castle. If InuYasha dies and I could of prevented it, Father would kill me when I go on to the next world."
Kagura had a hard time trying to conceal her giggles.
Back to Naraku and the others……..
"I believe that the paper is dry now, priestess." Naraku was starting to get impatient.
"Yeah, it does, doesn't it?" She needed a little bit more time to cover the perimeter of the castle. "I must wash my hands first though," 'A little more time', she thought.
"Kanna." Kanna once again appeared at Naraku's command, this time with a basin of cool water and a towel.
Kagome washed her hands slowly, and dried them slowly as well. Setting the paper on the floor, she placed both hands on the circle. A blue light surrounded the room, Kagome made blue fire appear above the paper, but the perimeter of the castle was slowly disappearing. All the time she had been spreading her power slowly and carefully so Naraku wouldn't notice!
Naraku had never seen blue fire, so he didn't notice that his territory was decreasing. When he did, a tentacle sprouted from his body and grabbed Kagome.
"Kagome!" We all shouted. But she just stood there, concentrating on purifying Naraku's castle.
"HOT!" Naraku shouted, and he let go of Kagome. He stared to jump up and down, in an attempt to cool his body down. "Kanna!" He yelled out, "Water, get some water, I'm melting!" Of course, he wasn't really melting, but villains live to be dramatic.
"Stop in the name of the law!" A short blond haired boy appeared, and we all stared. "Someone stole the Taisa's transmutation circle, it suddenly disappeared off his glove, and he's making me do his dirty work."
"What was that about, Shrimp", Kouga said.
"Who are you calling a microscopic little bean that no one can see unless it's under a microscope!" Jeez, this kid is just as immature as InuYasha. In fact, he's jumping around and waving his arms around. Then he disappeared.
"OMG!" Kagura said laughing, "That was hilarious! Kanna, who was that brat?"
"I don't know sister, I heard the young priestess saying something about a Fullmetal Alchemist. So I summoned a Fullmetal Alchemist from my mirror. I had to send him back, or else the worlds would have been caught off the balance.
Back to us…..
Then Sesshomaru appeared. Clouds of white smoke bellowed as he landed.
"Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin cried out, "You came, just like you promised Rin!" She ran and went to hug Jaken, who was squawking disgracefully. What a shame.
Naraku, at the sight of Sesshomaru, decided to retreat, and regroup whatever was left of him, and attack at a later date.
After getting everything straight, we headed off to Kaede's village. InuYasha was still sleeping, and Kouga left us, after once again being rebuffed by Kagome.
Sunset Shrine, Modern day Tokyo.
It had been a tiring day, sending Souta to school, listening to her father tell stories, and worrying Kagome took a lot out of her. Mrs. Higurashi laid down and took a nap. When she woke up, she seemed to have a different air around her. In fact, she went to change out of her clothes and into a very formal kimono. She started to walk towards the well. Souta spotted her and had a huge question mark hanging over his head, her father whispered to Souta, "Your mother is being possessed by an evil spirit." He lowered his voice even lower, "We must chase it out, trap it in the well house while I get the necessary materials." The old man headed towards the house while another question mark hung over Souta's head.
Kagome's grandfather was right, to a certain extent. Indeed, Mrs. Higurashi was possessed, but no, not by an evil spirit.
Souta did not have to trap his mother in the well house, in fact, she walked straight into it, and jumped in.
"Mama?", Souta questioned as he approached the well house, "Are you ok?" No answer was heard. He looked into the well and found nothing. "Hey, Grandpa!", he yelled, "Mom jumped down the well and disappeared!" With that, the old man came running down from the house as fast as his joints would let him. He would have to seal that well after his daughter and granddaughter came back from the other side.
A/N: Sorry for the late chapter, I also just happened to be banned from using the internet. I will edit this later, Ginger.
Disclamier: Anything owned by Arakawa or Takahashi does not belong to me!
Sequel: Sorry to say, there will be no sequel to this story. I did think about it, but concluded that if I were to write one, it would turn out to be a trilogy. Another reason would be that I don't have all the time in the world. I'll be in high school next year, so my studies are also important. I also have three stories going on at once. I'm not sure if I would be able to handle four. Either way, thank you to those who have been with me from start to finish of this story. Thankies to all reviewers and readers!
Come back to read the last chapter! (Wow, and not even a year has passed.)
