Chapter 5: Ramen Nightmare!!!!!!!!!

In The Real World.....

The boy stood, rubbing the welt from the fireman's ladder.Why did those humans give me a ride here?he wondered. He stared up at the building that was looming before him. The huge and spacious home looked marvelous. The whole house was painted a magnificent color of a deep red. The Roof had many Skylights, and there was a small pool housing to the side. In the backyard, a wonderful Zen garden sat, with many fountains and varying species of Butterflies roaming freely. He glanced at the mail box again, reading the name on it. Dijulio Estate It read in large letters, painted in a deep blue. That's the name that that human teacher called me, so this must be the place. He thought. Suddenly, a delicious aroma arose to meet his ever-active nostrils. He turned towards the house. RAMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

The boy called Thomas crept silently through the front door, and saw a inside that was even more beautiful than the outside. All of the floors were made in beautiful Oak, polished to a fault. The ceiling was graced by a beautiful Chandelier. It was made with many crystals, all of them about the size of his fist. A closed Skylight lit the room with the light only a beautifully full moon can offer. He looked around, and saw a suit of armor that he recognized as being quite recent in his times. A sword sat next to it, in a case. The plaque on the case read:

Maruhiken: the Protector's Sword

Given to Thomas Dijulio for finishing

his Samurai training

Carefully, the boy slipped the top of the case off, and pulled out the sword. The craftmanship was amazing, even he had to admit. He stared at it with intense curiousity, and Noticed something odd.

Is that the missing Shikon Jewel Shard?!?!?!

He stared at the glittering fragment that was embedded in the hilt, and knew the answer. I can go back through the well with this!!!!

He grabbed the sword, and began to run for the door.

"HOLD IT, MISTER!!!" a stern voice proclaimed from behind him. He turned around and beheld a tall, stout woman about 30-something, with long Brown hair, and startiling Gray Eyes. He froze, then announced "What!?" to the interloper

"You are not going anywhere. Where were you? Were you out practicing that samurai stuff again? I hate it when you do that sort of thing without asking!!" She paused for a moment, catching her breath. "Go upstairs, and Stay there until morning. If I have to, I will turn on the burglar alarms to keep you there." He grumbled under his breath, then handed her the sword and approached the twisting staircase.

In Feudal Japan........

We walked on a beautiful path, covered with exotic plants, and filled with the perfume of various plants. I should have been ecstatic. But I was not. I stared at the still angry Kagome. She turned her head when our eyes met. I glanced down at the ground, wondering why I had ever brought up Ayame. As we came to the crest of a hill, Miroku broke the silence.

"Hey, Look!!!! A hot spring!!!!!!" I turned my eyes in the direction that he was pointing, and saw what he was looking at.

A glorious and steaming body of water sat in the middle of a bushy forest. The pond had Vines growing through it, separating it into five perfect sections. Sango smiled at that fact. "Miroku, now I don't have to worry about you peeking."

He sighed in defeat.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I sat in my private section of heaven, and closed the eyes that didn't belong to me. Suddenly, a splash awaked me. I opened my eyes, and saw a beautiful sight that was new to my eyes.

Kagome stood before me, her eyes shining with anticipation of what was to come. She came closer to me, and enveloped me in a tight hug. "Inuyasha, I........." suddenly a huge shriek broke the serene air. I glanced at Kagome, and she nodded to me. It was time to go.
