A Voice From Above

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Inuyasha and the gang continue their relentless search for Naraku and the shards of the Scared Jewel.

"Uh, did anyone else hear that?"

Today our heros head north to the Verihugentall Moutains, where Kagome senses a shard is located.

"Yeah, I hear it too Shippo."

Little do they know of the dangerous dangers that lie ahead.

"Dangerous dangers?" Miroku raised an eye brow.

"Who the hell is that!" Inuyasha yelled, his hand going to his sword.

Sango blinked and looked up. "Do you think we're being watched?"

"Not just watched," Inuyasha growled, "Someone's spying on us! How else would they know all that stuff?"

"But if someone's spying on us, why would they announce it like that?" Shippo piped. He felt a little better now, knowing that everyone else could hear the voice too and he wasn't going crazy. Of course, the fact that there was a voice made him cower behind Kagome.

"Shippo's got a point." She said. "Huh. Why does this seem kinda familar..."

The friends stop to discuss their tactics.

"We're not discussing tactics! We're discussing you!" Inuyasha looked around wildly, sniffing the air for any unfamilar scents. He found nothing. "Where the hell are you? SHOW YOUSELF!"

No.

"You coward! Fine, I just find you myself!" He twitched his dog ears, trying to listen to where the voice was coming from.

Above? He frowned and glanced at the clear, blue sky. No one was there.

"Maybe he's invisble?" suggested Miroku. He didn't see the voice's owner anywhere either.

Nope, not invisble. But you'll never see me.

"Well, if we never see you, that would make you invisible." Miroku agrued. "Unless...unless you are not here."

Oooh, getting warmer. See Inuyasha, you should be more like the monk and start thinking once and awhile.

Kagome giggled despite herself, which only made Inuyasha more upset.

"You bastard! If you're gonna insult me, why don't you come down here and say it to my face?"

Inuyasha loses his temper again and starts failing about, itching to yell some more.

"SHUT UP!"

See what I mean?

"Okay, that's it! I'm going to find out where you're hiding and when I do, I'll shove my sword so far-"

"A narrator!" Kagome interupted, "He's a narrator!"

Bing-bong, we have a winner!

"Lady Kagome, what's a narrator?"

"They're people who, well, narrate. You know, they tell the story of something."

"Okay," said Miroku, "But why do we have one?"

"Uh, good question. I have no idea. Normally they narrate a book, or a cartoon..."

You poor, clueless people...

"What was that?"

Oh, nothing.

"Well, I don't like it." Inuyasha declared. "How do we get him to go away?"

Sango nodded. "Yes, this is quite unsettling." Everyone looked at Kagome.

"Hey, don't ask me. I dunno."

Inuyasha pulled out his sword and waved it up at the air. "Begone narrator! Go away or else!"

Or else what? You can't do anything to me. Nah-nah.

"Grrrr..."

"What if we asked nicely?" Shippo said. Inuyasha bopped him on the head. "Ow!"

"Are you stupid? Asking him 'nicely' isn't going to do anything!"

"Oh, what do you know!" Shippo shot back. He jumped up onto Kagome shoulders (so Inuyasha wouldn't hit him again) and shouted to the sky. "Voice-san! Will you pretty please leave us alone?"

"Yeah," Kagome added, thinking this might work, "It's very kind of you to narrate for us, but we don't really need it. Thanks anyway, though."

See, all you had to do was be polite.

Inuyasha huffed and crossed his arms. "So you'll go away now?"

Sorry, no can do.

"What? But you just said-"

I can't go. This is my job. It's not much, but it puts food on the table and-

"ARGGG!"

"Um, Lady Kagome," Miroku whispered, "How do we deal with this?"

"SHUT UP, WILL YOU! JUST SHUT UP AND GO AWAY!"

"Well..." Kagome said over Inuyasha's shouts, "I guess if there was a way to get the guy fired, then he'd be gone."

"Fired? The man's annoying but I don't think he deserves to be burned."

"That's not what fired means, Sango. When someone is fired, they're don't have their job anymore."

"So, if we get him fired, he won't need to narrate anymore?"

"Yup. That's right." The group turned their attention back to Inuyasha and the narrarator. They apparently had gotten into an arguement.

"I don't care if you get health insurance or not! I don't even know what that means!"

I didn't think you would.

"And what's that's supposed to mean?"

Just what I said. Gee, you're not exactly the brightest of the bunch, huh?

"Are you saying I'm stupid?"

No, not all. -cough- Stupid.

"Hey, I heard that!"

Heard what? I just have a little cough, is all.

"That was so fake! You just called me-"

Poor, delusional Inuyasha. Maybe you should get your ears checked.

"My ears are fine, you fool! And it's you who is delusional here! I don't know how you think you are-"
I told you, I'm the narrator. See, you do have faulty hearing.

"I DO NOT!" Inuyasha was boiling mad now, nearly jumping with frsutration at the fact that he couldn't find this narrator guy and give him a what-for.

That's probably why you yell so much. Cause your hearing's sobad.

"Voice-san?"Kagome cut in, before Inuyasha completely lost it. "It seems to me that you are not doing your job very well. For one thing, you're not even narrating anymore."

Uh, well, that's not really-

"You're picking fights instead," Kagome continued coolly, "And provoking Inuyasha. In fact, because of you disruption, we have been delayed on our mission." The narrator didn't respond, but they could hear soft mumbling coming from above, as if there was someone else up there too. Some more mumbles and then a shout. The narrator's voice was audible again.

But sir! I didn't-she's just-that's not-oh, please don't do this to me! I have three goldfish at home!

After a long silence, Sango turned to Kagome and whispered, "Is he fired?"

Kagome paused, then nodded. "Yup! We are now narrator-free!" And everybody cheers.

The gang is estatic about the quick defeat of the unseen foe and they celebrate the victory.

"Oh, god no..."

"That can't be-"

"You've have got to be kidding me! They found a replacement that quick?"

"Uh, lady Kagome, what should we do now?"
Our heros' joy leaves as quickly as it came, for it seems some perilous peril has come their way.

"Just ignored him." She sighed. "Maybe he'll go away. Or maybe we'll get used to it..."

-FiNnY-

A/N: A quick little fic to keep ya's busy while I try to get through this school week. Sorry if it's a bit drab; my mind has been numbed by the evil teachings of alegbra and college prep goverment.
