Hey! Welcome back for chapter 18! I hope that you both liked the last chapter, and I bet that you all want to kill me for giving you such a cliffhanger! I would want to kill me to if I were any of you, but I'm not, so I can't do that. I just wanted to thank shikou again for the idea for these two chapters. Oh, and one more thing, I would like to tell you that in my story, Hojo is a good guy, and for those of you who are Hojo hater's, some of this chappie isn't for you, okay? Well, let's get started!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, or any other characters related to Inuyasha, except for Kimi, Kia, Kararu, Machika, and Sanya.
Some Dreams Can Come True, Ya Know!
Chapter 18:
Double Trouble
Part Two
"YOU DID WHAT?" Inuyasha yelled at Miroku.
"I scared Sango and Kagome while they were be the Bone Eater's Well. They both fell in, and when I looked down the well, they were both gone." Miroku told him, desperate to find out what happened to his wife.
"Kagome must have made a link with Sango to let her go through the well to. That must mean that they went to her time. We should just wait for them here, because Kagome will find a way to get back as soon as she can, I'm sure. We just need to wait, but if she isn't back in four days, I'm going after them both!" Inuyasha said with a smile.
Miroku sighed with relief as he finally figured out what had happened to Sango, even though he had had a vauge idea.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"Kagome? What's a prank?" Sango asked Kagome. Kagome still had that evil grin on her face when she answered.
"A prank is when you fool, set a trap, scare, or all three of these things to someone. Let's go in and see what they have!" Kagome explained. She ushered Sango in the store and they both started to look around.
After about two hours in 'Games and Pranks: All You Need To Know', the twosome gruesome came out of the store with their hands and arms full of bags filled with prank items, books, trap items, candy, and scare items to use on all of the people back at the Feudal Era. They hurried out to the car and stuffed their purchases in and went to the shrine. Kagome got out quickly, but quietly and checked to make sure that the coast was clear so that they could make it in with the prank stuff without anyone seeing them. They made it to Kagome room with the items, and then they went back out to the car and got the clothes that they had bought.
They went back up to Kagome room to start planning their prank war on the Feudal Era gang. They had to plan everything perfectly, and use every ounce of prank items that they had bought.
First, they would not show up for three and a half days, and Inuyasha would probably be getting worried by then. Before he came through the well to go get them (they would have to guess the time), they would go and stay there, metally telling Inuyasha and Miroku to go to the Bone Eater's Well later that day.
Next, they would set up traps and pranks all over the house, so that no matter who you were (except for Kagome and Sango, of course) you would still get pranked. Kagome and Sango would then start sending mental messages to Inuyasha and Miroku, telling them to go to the well. Kagome had access to some demons, so she knew that they would want to help scare Inuyasha. When they were on their way to the well, Sango and Kagome would act as though their telepathy went out as they were knocked out (not really).
When Inuyasha and Miroku arrived, the demon's would be running away (as planned), and Inuyasha and Miroku would probably run to their wives. When they got to them, the two would start laughing, making Inuyasha and Miroku mad, then, the girls spraying them with a product called 'Silly String', and the two girls would run, leaving Inuyasha and Miroku to untangle themselves.
The girls would use Kagome's miko ability to use her powers to turn them invisible (Izayoi, Inuyasha's mother, taught this to Sango and Kagome back at the demon slayer's village, just a little note). They would hide out in the forest until it was time for supper. They would show up for dinner, carrying presents for each of Inuyasha and Miroku. They would receive them, still being mad at the two, and open them.
When they opened them, they would find candy inside. When they ate it, they would go over to their respective woman, and start singing to them (I made up this candy, it's called 'Singing Sour Spheres'. Kagome made this candy by using a blend of her demon and miko her abilities to make this work, along with some other pranks. This product is NOT available in stores.)
The two boys would sing a song about how much they love them and never want them to leave. By the end of it, they would be singing the chorus and everyone else in the room except for Kagome and Sango would be singing in the background. Afterwards, they would all realize what they had done and get embarrassed while Kagome and Sango would laugh their heads off.
Then, Sango and Kagome would use their invisibility techniques to get out of the room while the other's would be to embarrassed to notice. They would go back to Kagome's world and hide out at Hojo's house for a few days. Inuyasha would get worried, as would Miroku and they would both go looking for them. Kagome and Sango would follow Inuyasha when they came to her world, and set pranks and clues for him to use to find them, and then they would both run ahead to a building that no one owned or ever used. They would lock the door from the outside so that they couldn't get out, and send mental notes to Inuyasha where they were. He would find them, and then they would go back to the Feudal Era with Inuyasha so that they could use the rest of their pranks.
Their plan was perfect. They would scare everyone, including Inuyasha and Miroku, and have fun while they did it. Nothing would go wrong, at least from their point of view. When they finished planning this, it was about three in the morning. They decided to go to bed and put a small portion of their plan into action the next day.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"Hello?" A voice said through the phone. It was the afternoon after they had planned all of their pranks.
"Yes, may I speak to Hojo?" Kagome asked the woman.
"Just a moment." She said. After about a minute, Kagome heard a familiar voice talk into the phone.
"Hello?" Hojo asked.
"Hey Hojo, this is Kagome. I have a favour to ask you." Kagome asked him.
"Sure, what is it Kagome?" He asked her with excitement. She had never asked him for a favour, or anything like that.
"I have a friend here with me and we are going to play a prank of Inuyasha, you know, my husband. We need to stay away from the shrine for a few days in about four days, and we were wondering if we could stay at your place for about four or five days, would that be all right? We promise not to be any trouble." Kagome explained, pleading the next part.
"Of course you can stay at my house Kagome! Don't worry about a thing, I'll have the guestroom ready for you and your friend in four days. Say, do you want to go to the movies tonight and go to eat? You can bring your friend along to." Hojo offered.
"Hold on a sec, I need to ask her." Kagome said. She took the phone away from her ear and held in to her shoulder.
"Do you want to go to a movie tonight and to get something to eat?" Kagome asked Sango.
"Sure, why not? I'd love to go to a movie!" Sango told her, seeing as Kagome had told her what a movie was yesterday, and was eager to see one for herself. Kagome smiled and put the phone back up to her ear.
"Sure Hojo, we'd love to. What time do you want us to be at your house?" Kagome asked.
Hojo thought about this before he answered. "Be at my place at about 5:30. We can go eat before the movie." He said.
"Okay, see you then, bye." Kagome said as she hung the phone up. She looked at Sango and smiled.
"We got a place to stay." She said. They went back into Kagome's room and went into her closet to decide what to wear that night.
"Well, I think that I should wear my magenta spaghetti strap shirt with a blue jean jacket, a pair of blue jean shorts, white flip-flops, and have my hair up in a braid. What about you?" Sango asked Kagome.
"I think I'll wear a red tank top with a blue over shirt, a blue skirt, white flip-flops, and have my hair in a bun. We better go ahead and take our baths so that we can get ready. It's all ready four o'clock." Kagome said. Sango nodded and they each went to a different bathroom to bathe.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
An hour and a half later found the gruesome-twosome ringing the doorbell at Hojo's house. A young, handsome man answered the door and greeted them.
"Hello Kagome! And you must be Kagome's friend! Come in! Come in!" Hojo said as he ushered the two girls inside. Sango looked in awe at the size of his house. It was huge, at least from what she had seen.
"Sango, this is Hojo. Hojo, this is Sango. She's one of my friends from the other side." Kagome explained.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sango." He said with a slight bow.
"Well, I'm sure that your both hungry, so lets go and find something to eat." He said leading them to out the door and to his car. It was a red corvette. Sango looked at the car in awe. She hadn't seen a corvette, and wanted to see one badly before then. Hojo opened the door for them and shut it after they had both gotten in. He got in the driver's seat and turned the car on and drove it onto the highway. They drove into a parking lot of a restaurant that was called 'The Golden Wok.' Kagome stared at the place in shock before she regained her speech.
"Hojo! We aren't going to eat here, are we? I mean, this place is so expensive and fancy!" Kagome gasped out after overcoming her shock. Hojo flashed her his best smile before turning off the car and opening the door for the girls.
"Of course we're eating here! I wouldn't bring my best friend somewhere that wasn't good to eat, would I? Oh, and by the way, the bill is only for me to pay, and both of you get anything you want, no matter what the price." He said as he led them up the walk to the front doors, which were opened by fancy dressed waiters.
They walked up to the podium where there was a fancy dressed woman. She smiled when Hojo walked up.
"Hello, may I help you?" The woman asked.
"Yes, my name's Hojo and I have a reservation for three." He said. The woman smiled at him again before speaking.
"Right this way please." The woman said as she led them to a table in a garden in the middle of the restaurant.
Hojo, being the gentlemen, pulled out the ladies chairs and pushed them in for them when they were seated. A waiter came and took their drink orders while the two girls looked at the place in awe. He came back in a minute with their drinks and got their food order.
"So, girls, what is this prank thing that I heard about from Kagome?" Hojo asked as sipped his water. The girls grinned evilly at each other and told their plan. He laughed at the part about scaring Inuyasha and the others, even though he had never met them. After they were done, he offered some tips on pranking people because he had always done it to his teacher's at school when he was young.
"I think that you shouldn't do the thing with the demons, it might scare them to much. I think that from what I gather, there is a well that connects the two worlds, right?" He asked them. The girls nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"I think that you should sneak up behind them and scare them when they are at the well. They would fall down like you two did. You could somehow close the well for the time being so that they would hit the bottom. You two could look down the well, letting them know that it was obvious who had done it, and then hide out in the forest like you two had planned until they climbed out, then spray them with the Silly String and hide in the forest like you had pla—thank you!" Hojo said as he was interrupted by the food that was set down in front of him.
After the waiter left, Hojo finished what he was saying.
"And hide in the forest like you had planned and go on with your plan. I just have one more thing to ask." Hojo said.
"Sure. What is it?" Kagome asked him.
"Well, I'm much more experienced at pranking people, and I want to learn invisibility. Could you teach it to me? But before you answer, I want to ask you something else. Could you bring me to the Feudal Era?" He asked the two.
Kagome looked at Sango before opening a mental link.
"Do you think we could do it Sango?"
"I don't know, what do you think?"
"Well, I don't see a problem with it, but we have to teach him invisibility. That could be a problem unless…wait a second. Didn't Akitoki (Hojo's ancestor) have some sort of powers after we met him?"
"Hey, yeah, you're right! His powers just need to be awakened!"
"That's right. We need to see if he can use telepathy. I'll give it a try." Kagome said. She closed her eyes and opened a mental link to see if it would work.
"Hojo?" She thought to him before she opened her eyes. Hojo jumped as he heard Kagome's voice in his own head.
"Kagome? Is that you?" He said in his mind while looking at Kagome. She nodded and smiled before adding Sango to the connection.
"We'll explain later. Right now, we just wanted to awaken your powers. You see, your ancestor had powers. We met him in the Feudal Era, and he had some sort of powers, and we thought that you had them, we just had to awaken them by starting with the telepathy link. Now you can talk to Inuyasha, me, Sango, and all of the other's in the Feudal Era. Does that make sense?" Kagome thought.
"Yeah, it does. You're right, we'll discuss it later." Hojo thought to her as he closed the link. The girls flashed him a smile before starting on their food.
They left the restaurant after about another hour of eating and talking about small things. They drove to Hojo's house because the movie didn't start for another hour and a half. They went into his room and they closed the door. Kagome went over to it and locked it, and used her powers to create a sound proof seal around the room so that anything that they discussed wouldn't be overheard by eavesdroppers.
"Okay, so you want to learn invisibility, how to use telepathy, and how to figure out how to use your powers correctly, right?" Kagome asked Hojo once she came back from putting up the ward.
"Yes, that's right." He said while motioning her to continue.
"Well, we are gonna have to cram all of this into tonight, tomorrow, and the next morning, if you want to know how a to do all of these things. Sango, do you mind if we put the movie off until Thursday morning (this is after everyone had graduated from school, except for Kagome of course, who had had to drop out because of the Feudal Era, but she didn't mind) before we go to the Feudal Era?" Kagome asked Sango.
"Sure, but you better not forget!" Sango said with a grin.
"Okay. Well, we need to start with invisibility, because that is the hardest to learn. We both learned it in about four hours, but that is because we all ready knew the basic idea, but you don't, so we had better get started. First, I need you to think of yourself invisible…"
XxXxXxXxXxXx
Their training went on until about one in the morning. By the time Kagome and Sango were about to leave, Hojo had mastered invisibility, and was getting very good at telepathy. The girls would go back to his house at about nine in the morning to continue their training. Hojo was eager to find out what his abilities would be, but knew that he needed his rest. The girls went back to Kagome's house and slept soundly until Kagome's alarm went off at eight. Kagome picked it up and threw it to the ground, breaking it into about ten pieces.
"Opps." Kagome mumbled as she slipped her legs out of the bed. She knelt down on the ground and shook the lump in a sleeping bag.
"Come on Sango, it's time to get up, we have to go over to Hojo's, remember?" Kagome asked her. The lump in the sleeping back stirred, and Sango's head popped out the top end.
"Yeah, I good and well remember, but I want a bit more sleep. I gotta get up right now, don't I?" Sango asked Kagome in a resentful way. Kagome gave her a smirk and to Sango, that was all the answer that she needed.
The pair got up, then took turns in the bathroom. They ate a small snack, because Hojo's mom was nice enough to make them all breakfast. They went and got into the car and drove over to Hojo's house, where there was toast, rice, omelets, and soup there waiting for them. They could smell the aroma that the food was putting out when they got out of the car. They walked up to the door where Hojo was waiting for them. They went inside and were immediately overwhelmed by the smell of good food.
They all ate in silence, but soon Kagome, Hojo, and Sango were having a mental conversation. After they had finished eating, they went back up to Hojo's room and Kagome put up the wards again.
"Okay, now, I haven't tested this theory, but I know that it will probably work. Kaede told me about this. If you concentrate on a person's mind that has powers, you can tell what their powers are, and that is what I am going to do. I need you to sit down on the floor in front of me." Kagome told Hojo as she sat down on a clear space on the floor. Hojo followed her instructions and she began to meditate.
Soon, Kagome was soaring through Hojo's mind, not able to look at anything except for a light ahead of her. When she reached it, she saw what it was and gasped. She opened her eyes in reality and looked at Hojo in shock. Hojo was confused why she was so shocked, and Sango as well. After Kagome regained the power of speech, she turned to Sango.
"He's an…" She managed to say before she fainted.
When she came to, Sango and Hojo were still looking at her with worry and confusion in their eyes.
She turned to Sango. She had to tell some one, she had to. "He's an Elemental!" She managed to stutter out (Sango was the only one that could hear her). Sango gasped, and looked at Hojo in amazement, shock, and awe.
"What? Tell me what I am!" Hojo said. Kagome looked him in the eye and saw that he desperately wanted to know.
"You're an Elemental! The art of the Elementals have been lost for centuries! No one knows that they even exist any more! You're probably the only Elemental left on the planet!" She told him. His own jaw dropped in amazement.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Positive. Now, we need to go to the Feudal Era for a few hours and see if we can teach him to use his abilities." Kagome told the others. They both went to the door and waited for her to take down the wards. Once they were down, they got into Kagome's mom's car and drove to the Sunset Shrine (I think that's what they call it…).
Once there, they went to the old well house and went inside, Kagome careful to close the door behind her. Kagome had one of her hands on each of the others and they were about to just through when Kagome remembered something. She still had her hands on the other two when her hands started to glow. When they stopped, Hojo had a question for her.
"What did you do?" He asked her.
"I just covered our scent, because Inuyasha would smell me and know that I was back, and we couldn't have that happening, could we?" Kagome asked him with a smug smirk before jumping into the well, bringing Hojo and Sango with her.
When they had reached the other side of the well, Kagome had to make Hojo open his eyes. They all took turns climbing up the vines to the top. They decided to head as far away from the village as possible. They walked for at lease an hour before they all stopped at their destination. They all sat down and Kagome pulled out three apples and bottles of water out of her backpack. They ate in silence, and the snack time passed without insident. When they had all finished, Kagome turned to Hojo and opened a mental link.
"Hojo? I gotta tell you something." Kagome told him.
"What is it?" He asked her.
"I can transform into a demon. She is probably the only one in the Feudal Era to ever have seen and maybe know the arts of the Elementals. She'll be able to help." Kagome told him as she stood up.
"Here go's nothing." Kagome told him then immideatly after black flames engulfed her. When they disappeared, there was a hanyou standing in front of Hojo and Sango that had black and red clothes, ears, tails, claws, hair, and white teeth.
"Hello, you must be Hojo. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Kararu, ancestor of Kagome." She said as she knelt down and held out her hand. Hojo took it and they shook hands.
"So, Kagome told me that you are an Elemental. I guess that we had better get started, because the powers that you will be using are very complex, and my take hours to get the hang of it. If you get really good at it, then you can just do things with a wave of your hand!" Kararu said as she led Hojo away from Sango, so that any flying debis that Hojo may conjure wouldn't hit her.
"All right, I need you to hold out your hands in front of you, point it at the dirt in front of you, and repeat after me…" Kararu said as she showed him what to do.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
After about five or six hours, Hojo was to the point where he could move things with waves of his hands like Kararu had said, and he could meditate and move things without touching them or using his hands.
"All right! We're done! There is still more that you can learn, but you will have to find that out for yourself. I think that Kagome wants back now, so talk to you later!" Kararu said. Black flames engulfed her and when they disappeared, Kagome was standing there once again.
"Well, looks like you've mastered it!" Kagome told him.
"Congratulations!" Kagome said as she jumped out and hugged him. Hojo returned it, and it seemed to last forever until someone cleared their throat. The two jumped in surprised and turned around to see who it was. To their relief, it was only Sango.
"I think that we'll have to stay here for the night because only it's getting dark and it took us an hour go get here. We'd better get a fire going, I'll go find some wood." Sango said as she stood up.
"No, Sango, please sit back down, I'll take care of everything." He said. He waved his hand and wood came flying out of the forest behind them. He set it down in front of them and then waved his hand again, and a fire started on the wood.
"Oh yeah, I forgot you could do that for a sec." Sango said. They stayed up late into the night, talking a laughing, especially at Kagome, who kept on having her conversations interupted by Kararu talking in her head and screwing up her thoughts. They finally went to bed about three in the morning, and they had to be ready for the next day, the day of the prank war.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"Come on you guys, GET UP!" Kagome yelled at her two companions. Still, she received no answer from them after her persistant shaking. She sighed and opened a mental link.
"WAKE UP! GET UP NOW!" She screamed in their heads. They immiediatly sat straight up, Sango looking around in alarm, and Hojo waving his hands at Kagome, pinning her to the ground with vines.
"Oh, yeah, nice way to put me in a good mood in the morning." Kagome said sarcastically to Hojo as she started to untangle the vines.
"Sorry. You scared me." He said and with another wave of his the vines disappeared into the ground, freeing Kagome.
"We got to go back my time so we can get the prank items! We have to leave right now!" Kagome said with some worry in her voice as she pointed to the sun. From what she could tell, it was already seven o'clock.
Hojo looked at the sun in horror, as did Sango. They grabbed their stuff and left as soon as they could. Kagome transformed into Kararu, and she ran a demon speed with Sango on her back, while Hojo glided on the wind (one of his new and favorite abilities). They reached the well in a record seven minutes and thirty-two seconds and jumped down it without a backwards glance. They ran into Kagome room, Kararu not even bothering to change back. They grabbed the prank items and ran back to the well, Kararu casting a spell in them to cover their scent before they all jumped in.
They made themselves invisible, as well as the prank items, and went to Kaede's village. They crept into their home and started to set up pranks outside everyones rooms, with the help of Hojo. After each of them set a prank, they had to mark it on a map that Kagome had made. They made their way around the house, setting prank after prank. By the time they were finished, they must have set at least two hundred pranks.
They went outside and hid in the forest. After about thirty minutes of waiting, they heard a loud bang, and a scream from what sounded like Inuyasha. They all laughed after they heard another prank go off. The Prank War had finally begun.
