Chapter 3! Don't we feel special, FAITHFUL UN-REVIEWING READERS! I waited an extra week to post this chapter and everything! Anyways, yeah, one of those slightly "fluffy" chapters...

------

It had been two weeks since Kagome had fallen into a pen filled with lions and hyenas, but she wasn't stopping now. There were flocks of visitors coming to the zoo just to see Kagome The Fantastical Tamer. The animals in here were always kept partially sedated, so no matter how hard they tried it was impossible for them to think of killing her, and Kagome lived peacefully with the two packs of warring monsters.

Naraku, on the other hand, made her not-so-peaceful. How dare he throw her in here! Oh well, it wasn't like she was dead yet, so she had no reason to fly off the handle... Yet. She had resolved to keep her composure until she decided to leave the pen. Apparently, her parents had already known this was going to happen, and they visited every day with Souta to cheer her up from the sidelines. Like now, for example, Souta was currently hanging over the edge, waving to her and shouting something which sounded like,

"Hey, Kagome! Heeeeeyyy! UP HERE! Hiiiiiiii!"

"Souta! Get off the fence before you fall in!"

"So what if I do? You're still alive!"

"You'll give Grampa a heart attack!"

"True, very true," said a light voice from behind her. Kagome turned around. "I've fed your new family," Naraku said pleasantly. "And now I believe it's time to take you to a fancy restaurant for your work... Come."

"Eeeeew," Kagome shrieked.

"I was only joking."

"You, quote quote, 'never joke,'" Kagome hissed. Naraku dragged her over to a plate of disgusting slop. "You've given me emu food! That's disgusting!"

'Now, now, Kagome. Just because it's green and resembles puke doesn't mean it's emu food. Eat your cole slaw and I'll give you something worth eating." Kagome scarfed it down, wincing from the taste. Naraku handed her a sandwich and left quietly.

"Gee, thanks," Kagome said sarcastically, opening it to find he had stuffed the contents with more cole slaw. "Could somebody get me some good food?"

"Sure," Inuyasha called from above, "as soon as I dial the emergency number! Why are you still down there?"

"What's wrong with staying here?"

"Well, for one thing that giraff still has diarrhea and I'm the one stuck dealing with it!"

"Sucks to you!" Oh, right, that giraff. She had forgotten. So that was the reason she was still down here!

------

Miroku was just finishing his diagnosis of a giraff with excess bowel movements when he saw somebody walking around in a zookeeper's outfit. This was nothing new, except as he watched her pass, he realized she was a new keeper. Her tag, pinned to the khaki shirt, read "Hello! My name is !" He watched Blank walk bye and tried to take in the details. Brown hair in a ponytail, brown eyes, tall, slim...

The girl walked by without noticing him. He watched her disappear around the corner. Then he ran after Inuyasha.

------

Inuyasha was busy reading a sign outside "Kagome's" pen, as it was called among the keepers.

Did you know it costs 10,000 yen every day to keep a person in this pen with all the animals?

It then continued on with details about the bodily functions of lions, hyenas, and people, complete with graphic pictures. In fact, he was so enraptured by the bodily functions of people that he didn't notice Miroku until a hand fell on his shoulder in a supposedly friendly manner. He jumped and spun around.

"Inuyasha! Dog-boy! Silver-head!"

"Miroku! Lazy-pants! Dumbell!"

"Truce," Miroku sighed, then bubbled over with renewed excitement. "Didyouknowwhat Ijustmetsomebody doyouknowwho it'sagirl!"

"Uh-huh. Sit down, Miroku." Inuyasha led the twitching vet to a park bench. "I think it's time I told you about the dangers of drinking Kikyou's espresso coffee..."

"I don't have TIME to learn about coffee," Miroku screamed, much to the amusement of some passers-by. "I just met a girl and-"

"Aha! And?"

"And what?"

"Well, what did she say? What was her name? Who was this girl?"

"Um... Well, she didn't say anything, she was a new keeper and her name was BLANK."

"Blank?"

"Hello, my name is... Nothing."

"You didn't even talk to her?"

"Well..." Miroku fidgeted. "I thought- THERE SHE IS!" And the high speed chase was on, Miroku going after the poor girl, who immediately took a sharp turn and began using evasive action. Inuyasha watched them disappear over the horizon.

"He is sooo stupid."

"Yep. Especially considering I'm right here," said a voice behind him. Inuyasha turned around. "He's chasing after my brother," said Hello, My Name Is. Inuyasha blinked. This was going to be one crazy afternoon.
