Disclaimer: Man, if I owned Inuyasha... -drifts off into a little dreamland, then snaps back out- But, sadly, I do not.
Last time:
"I thought that maybe you'd like to train again?"
"No." I turned to look at Inuyasha, and he ran into me. He backed away slightly, almost blushing.
"Uh..."
I rolled my eyes. "Fine. We can train again. But only because I'll have the chance to hurt you again."
This time, in No Way Out:
Chapter 10 - Bumi's Fury (Pt 1)
I swung my sword again, barely missing Inuyasha's head. I turned and glared at him. "Inuyasha, why do you want me to keep training? You're losing your touch, and it's almost morning. Besides, I feel like you're letting me hit you."
I glanced at the numerous small cuts made into his haori. I didn't know how deep they went, or if they even pierced his skin, but I just knew that Inuyasha was holding back.
He swung the Tetsusaiga at me, and I easily dodged it. "Inuyasha! Are you even trying?"
"I don't need you getting hurt, that's all."
"Do you even care?" I glared at him, then swung my sword again, this time catching Inuyasha's leg. "Because I don't think you do."
"Of course I don't care." He ran towards me, holding the Tetsusaiga in front of himself. He slashed it near me, and I saw locks of my red hair fall to the ground.
I looked at the locks of hair on the ground, then glared at Inuyasha. "Y-you cut my hair!"
He put the Tetsusaiga back into its sheath, then laughed. "I didn't cut that much off..."
"But you cut my hair!" I put sword back into its sheath, and ran towards him. His eyes widened and he started running.
In the horizon, the sun began to come up.
Inuyasha looked back, and I glared at him again. "Bumi, you don't even notice it, really!"
"You cut my hair, you bastard! Do you know how long it took me to grow it out this long!"
He made a whimpering sound as I grabbed the back of his haori. "Gomenasai!"
I let go, staring up at him. "That's not like you, Inuyasha. I can't imagine you whimpering."
"I know, but you're scary when you're angry!"
I rolled my eyes. "Are you sure you're not a puppy in a youkai's clothes?"
Inuyasha glared at me, and I smiled. "Hey, look, sunrise. Time to go to sleep."
I started walking back to the hut, grabbing my sword as I went past it. I started thinking. Inuyasha had a name for his sword, so why couldn't I give one to mine? I glanced at my sword and smiled. The name would have to be something short, and almost cute.
It'd have to be perfect to suit my sword, and myself.
I stepped into the cabin, only to be greeted by Shippou and Kirara's gaze. "Shippou, do you know where my daggers are?"
Shippou nodded and pointed to my boots. "I put them in your boots for you, Bumi. Do you want them?"
Duh. I wouldn't be asking if I didn't. I smiled and nodded. Kirara went to my boots and took them out for me. I kneeled down and softly pet her head. "Arigato, Kirara."
I took the daggers out of her mouth carefully, then went to the other side of the room. I set my sword down, which I'd named Kami, and glanced at Shippou. I inspected my dagger closely, holding it freely in front of my face.
Then, I cut my hair. I didn't have to cut much for it to be even again, so I guess I was pretty lucky.
And that meant Inuyasha was, too.
Review Shout-outs!
Lisa: Of course I used baka, you baka! xP And I don't TRY to be mean to you. But it is a great consolation! -giggle- You know I'm only kidding.
Fan: Well, I'm glad to know that someone likes the way I end my chapters. Even though, sometimes, I hate 'em. Arigato!
Ear-Tweak: Lookie, a new reviewer! Arigato for reviewing! Anyways, at this point in the story, it's supposed to be hard for people to tell whether or not Inuyasha "likes" Bumi, so don't feel lost! And Kagome knows nothing about this, seeing as how she's still in her time. I hope that cleared things up for you! And I'm glad to know that people are enjoying my story.
