Yay! New chappie! Hello you guys, it's nice to see you all again. I'm soooo sorry about the long wait!
Disclaimer: This old man…he said he owned, and he sold to me over the phone, with a knick-knack paddy wack, that old man he lied, the stuffed doggy was really fried.
Once again I demonstrate my utter lack of skill. The day I rhyme successfully is the day the sun rises in the west. But I can still try!
Sesshomarufangurl: Yes! I know EXACTLY what you mean! I've had that happen before, except the person my friend and I were talking about is a little violent and he actually did know what we were talking about…unfortunately. Oh well, the thwacked me and I kicked him, so we're even.
Things To Do, People To Kill, Brothers To Slay…
"Did you guys get anything done?" Jenny asked in wide-eyed shock as she looked around Sota's room. An unconscious Inuyasha was lying on the bed and everyone else was looking severely guilty while her friends were laughing so hard that they were clutching the walls to stay erect. H wasn't holding back at all and was basically rolling around on the floor and even Sesshomaru had a trace of a smile. "I realize that you were mad at Inuyasha, Kagome…but did you really have to egg the poor soul?" She asked Kagome as she picked at a sticky bit of egg whites in Inuyasha's long and normally silky, hair.
"Well…I was angry…" Kagome said awkwardly, casting her eyes down to the floor and her feet.
"You had already knocked him out!" Miroku protested, determined to stick up for his friend even though all his valiant efforts earned him were glares from his two female companions.
"Be quiet Hoshi." Sango muttered angrily, throwing him mutinous glances.
"Make sure to lock your doors and windows at night, hentai." Mario suggested in between his giggles.
"It's scary when you giggle." Said Al, looking at him as she gained control. This, however, was the wrong thing to say and it threw all of the Guardians back into a new round of giggles.
"Okay, anyway…" Kagome began hurriedly. "My family comes back today so we need to CLEAN!" That shut everyone up.
"No…NO! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! NOOO!" KK and Mario both screamed before running out the door and out of the house and off the shrine and down the steps and into the city. H and Blake just fainted.
"RIGHT ON!" Al yelled, rolling up her sleeves and charging into Mrs. Higurashi's room, cleaner magically appearing in one hand and a duster in the other.
"I don't know which attitude I hate more…" Jenny said slowly when everyone looked at her with eyebrows raised and lips twisted in that expression that only those with the spirit of a child can achieve. "Those who flee, those who faint or the one who actually loves cleaning." Jenny just shook her head.
"O…kay. Well, let's get started. I'll show Miroku and Sango what to do, can you show Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked Jenny.
"He already knows, but sure. Let's get started! We'll just leave the cowards where they are." She said with a disgusted expression, glaring at Blake and H as she forcefully dragged Sesshomaru out of the room and back downstairs. Kagome looked at her two charges and Shippo.
"Shippo, watch Inuyasha and call me if he wakes up." She instructed the kitsune. Shippo nodded and saluted her. "Miroku and Sango, we're going to work on the kitchen first." She said and the trio went down to learn about the wonders of mops.
"WE'RE HOME!" Shouted Mrs. Higurashi as she set foot into her home on the Sunset Shrine. She breathed in deeply, savoring the smell of her own home but instead she noticed the sharp scent of too much Windex. The next thing she heard, and her son and father who were now standing behind her, was the pounding of many feet. Mrs. Higurashi, Sota and Kagome's Grandfather all looked up the stairs as a strange young man who looked like he was only a couple years older then their Kagome came running down the steps giggling happily and spritzing Windex liquid all around him. Right behind him came a large group of humans and four demons, all with kerchiefs wrapped around the lower halves of their faces and their eyes all narrowed in frustration. Many of the humans were carrying mops and brooms, all of which were held jutted out and forward like weapons. The boy with the Windex skidded out of sight and into the kitchen and all the others followed, gone as quickly as they had come.
…
"Tell me I'm not the only one who's completely lost." Sota said right before he began to run after them. "Sis! Sis! SIS! IF YOU DON'T ANSWER ME THEN I'LL TELL HOJO THAT YOU LOVE INU-"
"SOTA! I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU BUT YOU'RE A LITTLE BEHIND THE TIMES!" Kagome hollered back, now her voice was coming from the living room.
"KAGOME! HE'S HEADING YOUR WAY! I THINK WE CAN CUT HIM OFF AT THE STAIRS!" A woman's voice shouted from the kitchen.
Mrs. Higurashi and Grandpa I'm just going to call him that. heard this and stepped out of the way just in time. As soon as they were back on the threshold the boy with the Windex came hurdling past them and he veered towards the stairs, but before he could reach that a girl with flaming brown hair and their Kagome skidded in front of him and cut off his escape from that direction. They brandished their mops at him and he turned, about to run into the living room. But instead of an empty door there stood two boys, one was Inuyasha and the other looked like he was from Spain. The same thing happened when the Windex boy turned to run back to the kitchen, but instead of two boys a kitsune, a neko-youkai and a woman bearing a colossal boomerang barred his path. The boy huddled down onto the floor and hissed at them all, but before he could move a tall youkai with long silver hair like Inuyasha's and long claws fell from the ceiling on top of him, successfully knocking the strange Windex boy out.
"Dude." Said the girl with the highlighted brown hair as she pulled the kerchief off her face. "Who knew that there was an allergic reaction like that…"
"Are you sure that's what it was?" Kagome asked her, pulling off her own kerchief. Everyone stared at H, who was on the floor.
"See what happens when you do anything without me?" Inuyasha snapped, glaring at all of them.
"You were the one to give him the cleaning water magic!" Said a man in monks dress, coming up behind Inuyasha.
"It's Windex! How many times do I have to tell you! Windex! Say it with me, WIN-DEX! It's not that hard to remember!" Snapped a new girl, slapping the back of the monk's head and glaring at him.
"Al!" The monk whined at the girl.
"Stop moaning." She said back.
"Oh, hi Mom!" Kagome interrupted their bickering.
"Hello Kagome, mind explaining what you've been doing in my house?" Mrs. Higurashi asked, raising one eyebrow in question. Everyone who stood around her looked down and shuffled their feet nervously.
"Allow me…" Said the girl who stood next to Kagome with the chestnut hair. "My name…well, Kagome calls me Jenny. You may as well. As for what we've been doing in your house, it's nothing really. We've just been living in it and practicing music, with your daughters permission of course!" Jenny said.
"Did I ever give you permission?" Kagome asked curiously. Jenny's shoulders slumped and her expression went slack as she turned to face Kagome.
"Well, no…but you didn't kick us out did you?"
"I was close to it when H first came."
"Well, yeah…but that's H! Who wouldn't?" At Jenny's last statement there were choruses of "yeah, right. Know what you mean."'s, and "Seriously!"'s.
"Okay…what went on? Can I be expecting any grandchildren Inuyasha?" Mrs. Higurashi asked sternly. There was a dead silence in the room. For a grand maximum of two seconds flat, that is.
"Yeah, Inuyasha! Any children any time soon? I, of course, expect to be named god father…I hope that's not too much trouble!" Said Miroku.
"Why, grandchildren you say! That has a nice ring to it, says I!" Said KK.
"Kagome-chan…that's your mother?" Asked Sango.
Everyone else just couldn't stop laughing helplessly, rolling around on the floor, clutching their stomachs, and the bright red shades on Kagome and Inuyasha's faces didn't help them regain control either. Jenny and Sesshomaru Yes, Sesshomaru was laughing! Well, he had to have a sense of humor somewhere, and who wouldn't laugh at that? Were the first to recover and they just started arguing over what to call the bright red color, because it wasn't any shade they knew.
"It's called 'Birth control' Kagome. Ever heard of it?" Sota asked as he finally repapered. His comment was like adding fuel to the fire.
"You. Are. Dead. Brat!" Kagome growled in a fair imitation of Inuyasha. Sota blinked…one…twice…thrice…but he didn't blink a fourth time, he didn't even get the chance. Because, as if his third blink was the pulled trigger to a shot gun Kagome lunged forward at him, bloody murder in her eyes, and she was screaming it as well.
"AHHHHHH!" Sota screamed and he turned around and hightailed it out of there, though Kagome remained hot on his heels.
"Turn tail and ran." Mario muttered as he watched them go.
"Hi! I'm Shippo…since Kagome's my momma, are you my Grandma?" Shippo was asking Mrs. Higurashi as he tugged on her skirt for attention. Mrs. Higurashi took one look at the minute kitsune child and she fell immediately in love with him.
"Of course!" She said in a happy voice and she swooped down on the little kitsune and picked him up in a huge bear hug. "Let's see if we can find you a little snack, eh?" She asked as she carried a giggling Shippo into the kitchen.
"Inuyasha, we've decided that the shade of red you invented today is going to be called Inuyasha's Life's Blood Red." Jenny informed him. Now, remember what I said about Sango and that sweat drop in, oh, I think it was last chapter, yeah well, imagine that again, except bigger.
"And why, prey tell, would you call it that?" Inuyasha asked in a dry voice.
"I wanted to call it Kagome's Life's Blood, but Jenny said that you would take that too far." Said Sesshomaru sulkily, glaring at Jenny's back. Then he chanced a glimpse at Inuyasha's face. "And apparently she was right." He said.
"Outside fool. We don't want to break the house." Jenny said hurriedly. Sesshomaru nodded at her and ran outside just as his brother flew out after him. They both stepped over the unconscious (though steadily breathing) body of Grandpa, who had fainted in horror at seeing so many demons in his house.
"So, you want to kill me again half-breed?" Sesshomaru asked Inuyasha coldly.
"You're going down today bastard! No body threatens Kagome like that!" Inuyasha hissed angrily back and he drew Tetsusaiga just as Sesshomaru drew Tokijin.
"Of course, technically he wasn't even threatening her…" Said Sango to Jenny.
"Yeah. Hey! We still have to kill Naraku and Koga, don't we!" Said Jenny, as she stared down at H as he began to awake, this time in his right mind.
"Can Naraku even be killed?" Miroku asked as an idle thought. "Is he even alive?"
"No. Not really. But there is a difference between being killed and dying. It's a think line, but all you need to do is know how to walk it." Said Jenny. As she said that her eyes darkened and they were fastened on Inuyasha. Her hands clutched into tight fists and her voice sounded far off, as if coming from a great distance. But the moment was fleeting and when Miroku blinked Jenny was as happy as she had ever been and Miroku was wondering whether he had dozed off for a second. "But that still leaves the fact that they remain at large!" She said with a twisted smile.
"Oh Kami! You're right! I can't believe I forgot!" Said Sango, covering her hand with her mouth.
"Who're Naraku and Koga?" Al and H asked in unison.
"Dude." Said Jenny.
"Here we go again." Moaned Sango as Miroku began to explain to Al and H all about the adventure that they had now been sucked into.
Well, there we go! A brand new chapter, all done. And you know what you have to do now? Well, you have to review! Because if you don't review I will be very, very sad, and if you know me personally and you read this then you will soon find yourself receiving a call from me demanding that you read and review. If you don't know me personally then I can only beg you here! Please, please review! Look at that review count! It's like, one review per chapter! Maybe even less! It's so sad, and it makes me cry. Sniff, sniff.
Oh well, please review, I ask you this from the bottom of my heart. So, please, please review!
