Wish On a Shooting Star
By: Kitsune
"Ugh...damn summer classes...they always give me so much homework...oh well, it's
Saturday! I can relax and watch Inuyasha tonight"
Caitlin walked into the house and grabbed an apple from the fridge. She went upstairs to her room and placed her books on her desk. The walls were covered with Inuyasha posters, and almost all the manga volumes produced so far were stacked on the floor next to her desk. She continued to munch on her apple while she opened her English textbook, and started searching for the parts of speech in a sentence.
The clock on the microwave glowed 11:20. Caitlin was in her kitchen with the little TV on the Cartoon Network channel. Her parents were out on a date, and her siblings were at their friends' houses, so she had the house to herself. An ad for Clearasil flashed on the screen while she took the bag of popcorn out of the microwave. Mmmm...that smells good. Full Metal Alchemist came back on TV as she poured the popcorn into a large plastic bowl. She sat down and waited for Inuyasha to appear on the screen. A minute later, the beginning song played and the show started. It was the episode where Sesshomaru and Inuyasha would face off for the first time. Damn you Cartoon Network! Get the episodes straight! I want new ones! Despite her disappointment, she watched the repeat anyway. All this was observed by a shaggy monkey in the tree outside the kitchen window. His eyes glowed red, then he disappeared.
Caitlin yawned and shut the TV off. The clock glowed 12:30. She went up to her bathroom to get ready for bed. After brushing her teeth she put on her pajamas and went in her bed. She was about to fall asleep when she spotted a meteor in the night sky. Oh wow, a shooting star! Ok, make a wish! Hm...what do I want to wish for...She looked around her room, and her mind went back to the episode she watched. I know, I'll wish for Inuyasha to be mine! Oh please, like thats gonna ever happen...would be cool tho. She went to her bed and fell asleep.
The shaggy monkey was on the roof of her house. He located her bedroom window, and used his telekinetic powers to unhook the lock. The girl was sleeping soundly, her long, curly blond hair spread out over her pillow. Her breathing was slow and even. The monkey slunk inside quietly and went over to her. He looked at her walls, and the posters on them. He glanced at her once more before producing a glowing white ball in his hands. The ball steadily grew bigger, until it form the shape of a person. When the glowing died down, there was a teenage boy standing in place of it. The monkey had disappeared out the window. The boy looked Japanese, but he had long white hair and white dog ears on his head. He had a strange red outfit on, and a sword in his hand. He wore an expression of pure confusion in his golden eyes and pale face.
"What the hell! Where the hell am I!"
His yelling woke up Caitlin, who he didn't noticed until he turned around. He recognized that she was a human, and walked towards her.
"Hey you, you wouldn't be the cause of.."
"OH MY GOD! INUYASHA!"
Her scream threw him off. He took a defensive stance. Caitlin jumped out of her bed and went towards him. He backed away.
"Hey, how'd you know my name! I don't know you, you some sort of demon!"
"N-no...I'm one of your biggest fan!
"My biggest what?"
An image of a folding fan with blond hair popped in his mind. Now he was really confused.
"I'm one of your followers! You're one of my favorite demons of all time!"
For a strange human girl to say she favored him was something that never happened to him before. He lowered his claws. His eyes looked her up and down.
"Why do you know my name? I don't even know you!"
"I'm Caitlin! I watch you on TV every Saturday!"
Huh? TV? Saturday? What do these strange words mean? And such a strange accent...weird name too...
"Ok, uh, Caitlin...where am I?"
"You're in my bedroom! In my house, and I live in the Chicago-land"
I have no idea what she is talking bout...
"Now I have questions for you. How did you gethere, and are you hungry?"
"Uh...yeah I'm a little hungry, got any meat?"
"Sure! Downstairs in the fridge. Here I'll show you"
They walked down the stairs and went into the kitchen. Inuyasha marveled at the softness of the material on the floor of the stairs. Is this some strange kind of fur? I've never seen anything like it...Caitlin opened a door and took out bags of lunch-meat. A whirring noise started up and Inuyasha jumped at the sound, sword prepared to slice whatever it came from.
"Oh don't worry, it's just the washing machine. Here's all the meat I could find, take your pick"
What the hell's a washing machine?... Inuyasha looked down on the selection of food. This is all the meat she has? None of this even looks like meat, doesn't her family ever go hunting?
"Where's all the real meat?"
"Um...this is real meat, it's just all sliced up. See? This is turkey, it came from a bird, and this is ham, it came from a pig"
Pig...that's what I keep gettin called...so this is dog meat? Eck...
"Gimme the bird meat.."
Inuyasha scarfed down the entire contents of the bag in one second. Caitlin sat there watching him. Yikes, he WAS hungry...maybe I should go to the store...Wal-mart's probably open still...
Inuyasha also scarfed down the other lunch-meats. Yep, we're definitely going to the store... Caitlin threw the bags away.
"Wait right here, I'm going to go change"
Why do I care? You expected to go peepin on you or somethin? Geez...
Inuyasha sat on the chair, and observed the various electronics in the kitchen.All these unusual items kept making him nervous, and he never removed his hand from the sword hilt. Caitlin was in her room getting worked up on what she should wear. What does he like? I don't have a schoolgirl outfit like Kagome...Ok, I'm wearing my low-rise jeans and my hula Garfield top. That shouldn't be too bad. She finished putting on her clothes, and brushing her hair, and went downstairs to the kitchen. She found Inuyasha staring hard at the TV, which he somehow turned on.
"How can those people fit in that thing? Is it magic?"
Caitlin burst out laughing. Inuyasha became pissed, and started yelling.
"Hey! What the hell do ya think is so funny!"
She struggled to control her laughter so she could explain.
"T-there's...no one inside it...haha...it's only an image of people, it's not the real thing"
So it IS magic...a magic mirror?...I don't like the looks of it, it seems dangerous...
"Feh...can we get out of here now?"
"Yep!"
Caitlin took one step out of the kitchen and froze. Oh no! I forgot, Inuyasha is a demon! He can't go out lookin like he is now! Crap!
"Um...hold on, we need to change your look first"
"What do you mean 'change my look'? I look fine dammit!"
"I mean, you can't go out lookin like a dog demon, people are gonna freak, let me go get some clothes..."
Caitlin then ran up the stairs to her parents' room to take some of her fathers clothing for Inuyasha. She picked out a plain white blouse, and some blue jeans. She also stole a pair of socks and her dad's gym shoes (eww! ), and ran down the stairs to Inuyasha. He gave her his best 'are you kidden me' look, and refused to put them on.
"You really expect me to put on those things! I ain't gonna put on these stupid human clothes and look like a moron!"
Caitlin did her best impression of Kagome's death glare and Inuaysha was taken aback. He grumbled, but took the clothes anyway and started to undress.
"What you still standing there for, I'm changing!"
"I don't mind..."
Inuyasha stared at her.
Is she related to Miroku?
Caitlin walked out of the kitchen finally, and Inuyasha finished dressing into the human clothes. The pants were a bit loose around the waist so he had to put on a belt. He was uncomfortable in these clothes, especially the shoes. He went barefoot his entire life, and they felt strange on him. Caitlin grabbed a couple coats for them and they went out. She made sure that Inuyasha had the hat on him firmly. He was grumbling under his breath, but Caitlin thought that he looked good. Especially with the tighter pants. But he would look better in a teen guys clothes. They both walked several miles until they reached Gurnee Mills, the local mall in town. The Wal-Mart across from it was still open.
"Ok, I have about 170 dollars in my wallet (that would be nice eh Caitlin? ). So that should be able to cover an outfit for you, ok Inuyasha? Inuaysha?"
Caitlin looked around, and saw him growling at a salesclerk.
"Ah! Inuyasha! What are you doing?"
"This bitch says that I can't put it on in the store!"
"Uh..you can't, you buy it first and put it on at home"
"But!"
Caitlin glared at him and dragged him away from the woman, apoligizing for his rudeness.
"If you don't behave you'll get us thrown out!"
"Feh, I didn't WANT to be here in the first place!"
"Just stand there and be quiet, I'm gonna get some clothes for you and then we can get out of here!"
"Hmph..."
Inuyasha did as he was told though, and Caitlin grabbed a couple of plain t-shirts and a pair of tighter jeans. Hm..his butt would look good in this...hehe. She went to the cashier station to pay for the items, then they left the store. Caitlin was happy, she finally had her beloved dog demon by her, and he seemed contented to be with her. They went to a BurgerKing and grabbed a Double Whopper Value Meal. Inuyasha sniffed the burgers with a cautious look on his face before he stuffed it with them. Caitlin just stared at him wolfing down the food, not even bothering to eat hers.
face stuffed to maximum "Yu gara ee dat?"
"What?"
Inuyasha swallowed the load of food and repeated his question.
"Are you gonna eat that? The food you have?"
"Oh um...you can have it.."
She watched in amazement at the fact that he could hold so much food in his mouth at a time and still manage to swallow that. Well...he IS a dog demon...but yikes, he's gonna choke to death..
"Ok...um, when you're down, we can go back to my house, and I'll fix up a place for you to sleep"
Maybe in my room? Hehe, my parents would kill me if I did that...o shit, my parents! They're probably home right now! How am I gonna explain why I wasn't there!
"What's your problem?"
"What?"
"I said, whats your problem? You're worried about something, I can see it in your face"
"Oh that...its just...my parents are probably gonna kill me if they see me comin through the door at this time of the night. They're expecting me to be in my bed sleeping right now"
"So we won't go through the door, just go through the bedroom window"
"But how? Its on the second floor!"
"I'll show you how"
Inuyasha grabbed Caitlin and scooped her up. He leapt and ran with the speed only a demon could have and they were back to her house in no time. He leapt up onto a tree branch close to her window, and helped her inside.
"Oh thanks! Do you want to come in?"
"Feh, I always sleep in the trees. This one is good"
"Ok, see you in the morning"
Caitlin closed the window and walked to her bed. On second thought...maybe I'll leave the window open...just in case..She walked back to unlock the window and cracked it a little bit. She could see the shilouette of her favorite dog sleeping in the trees. Good night Inuyasha. She went back to her bed and flopped down and fell asleep. She never had the chance to change back into her pajamas.
