Oofie: "Gosh…Has it become apparent yet that I really dislike doing my homework?"
Kagome: "Yes, it has. Why do you ask?"
Oofie: "Well…Guess why I'm writing this now instead of later."
Kagome: "You're avoiding your homework again?"
Oofie: can see this is going in a bad direction and desperately thinks of how to change the subject… "Uh…Kagome…um…hey, there's a bug on you…" points
Kagome: "Don't change the subject!"
Oofie: "No, seriously. There's a bug on you."
Kagome: starts to scream and run in circles "AAAH! INUYASHA GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!"
Inuyasha: Was having a peaceful sleep, but is now wide awake thanks to Kagome's screaming "Oi wench, what the hell do you want now?"
Kagome: Holds her arm out to him "T-t-there's a b-b-b-bug! Get it off!"
Inuyasha: glances down at the bug, then Kagome, then the bug. "Keh," Grabs the bug and holds it to his face "Myoga."
Kagome & Oofie: "Myoga?" crowd around Inuyasha's hand that was holding up the flea by his shirt collar.
Oofie: "Myoga! How nice to finally meet ya buddy!"
Myoga: "Yes, yes. Hello. Master Inuyasha! Who is this girl?"
Oofie: "It's Oofie-chan! The one that sent for you!"
Myoga: "Oh! Ok, I know you!"
Oofie & Kagome: jump up and down "Yay!"
Inuyasha: "Keh."
Oofie: "Heh heh, let's continue this later, right now it's time to start the chapter!"
Kagome: "WOOHOO!"
Oofie: "Myoga?"
Myoga: is still dangling by his shirt in Inuyasha's grasp "Oofie-sama does not own me or whoever in the seven hells else."
Not His Day
Shippo yawned, and sat up in the sleeping bag he shared with Kagome. He looked around camp. Yeah, they had a one hell of a fiesta, if I do say so myself. (For all you espanol deprived people fiesta means party) There were still candy wrappers surrounding the little kitsune, and a couple of 'soda' containers lying around. He looked around to find Inuyasha sleeping upright against his tree, with a ramen cup in his lap. Then he saw Kirara, who was in the arms of Sango, who was in the arms of that lecherous monk.
I knew they were gonna end up together, even if Miroku is a nasty old perv Shippo thought with a I-knew-it-all-along look on his face. You see Shippo may be young, but Kagome didn't raise him to be no fool. Shippo sighed, and turned to snuggle up to Kagome. She had practically become his adoptive mother, and he loved her dearly. Shippo smiled his sweet little Shippo smile and fell asleep once again.
Inuyasha popped an eye open. The sound of Shippo rustling next to Kagome had awoken him, and he knew that once he was up, he was up, so there was no point in trying to fall back asleep. Inuyasha cursed himself for being a light sleeper and turned his head to see Miroku's wide-open mouth, gargling drool that must have collected in his there while he was asleep.
That shit is disgusting… Inuyasha thought in…well, disgust. He shook off the thought of the toxic morning breath Miroku was going to have and turned towards Kagome to watch her sleep, in doing so he revealed that oh so tender piece of flesh he called his neck…
Inuyasha felt a tiny prick on his neck, and in reflex, shot his hand up to smash the bug that was finding his breakfast. The silver haired boy looked at his hand to find a very full and very flat Myoga.
He sighed, not this bug again.
"Master Inuyasha…why must you be so cruel to your one and only servant? Not to mention your elder…" the flea complained.
"I didn't ask you to be my servant or whatever, and if you hate it so much, then fuck off." Inuyasha said in his grumpy morning mood. It's not that he was tired, he just acted grumpy in the morning, not to mention every other time of the day…but that's irrelevant. GOD I LOVE THAT WORD! Ahem…back to the story…
"Master Inuyasha your father would never forgive me for leaving you alone!" the flea complained once again, "And without me you wouldn't have come as far as you have you ungrateful baffoon!"
Inuyasha watched the old demon's vain attempts to punch up at the clawed fingers that held him tight. As you can imagine, watching a flea fight for his life can get rather dull, and with a yawn Inuyasha decided to put the old man out of his misery.
The hanyou squeezed and squeezed till it looked as if Myoga's head would explode and he finally let the flea go, tired of it's talking, and bored of it's torture. Myoga wheezed, "I'm too old for this…" he gazed up at the hanyou that was yawning once again of boredom, then looked back down towards the ground. "I suppose since you have no interest in what a flea has to say, then I'll just be on my way without telling you my information on a new jewel shard…" Myoga had emphasized the words jewel shard and acted as if he were about to walk away…
Then the fish took the bait.
"Alright old man, what cha got to say?" Inuyasha said, planting his hands on his knees and bringing his head so close to the ground his hair touched it. Myoga merely sat down Indian style and crossed his hands over his chest. Apparently, the flea thought he could refuse to tell Inuyasha what he came to tell him about the shards.
Two words. Dead. Wrong.
Inuyasha brought his hand down over the old flea and nearly took many years off of his life. But yet again, that's irrelevant. What is relevant is that Inuyasha was pissed, and if Inuyasha was pissed, that could only mean more pain for Myoga. So the flea, with this logic, decided to give up and just tell Inuyasha what he meant to tell him.
"Master Inuyasha please! I'll tell you! Just let me go! I beg of you!" the flea pleaded. Obviously, he was not too proud to beg.
"Keh" was the only response as Myoga was let go and Inuyasha shoved his hands into his sleeves. He looked down at the old flea, and what he saw was just pathetic. No, wait…pathetic didn't quite cut it. Inuyasha sighed and closed his eyes in a scowl "Spill it old man, what do you know about the jewel shards!" It wasn't a question, it was more like he was telling him to answer.
Myoga jumped to Inuyasha's hand and sat down on it, then he closed his eyes and took two deep breaths before answering. "I've been traveling around, hunting for information on a shard of the jewel I have heard about from many different villages." The flea sighed before continuing. "I've heard many a story about what I assume is the same shard, but the stories don't add up. They seem more like tall tales then actual knowledge."
Inuyasha was intently listening to every word, but he had to ask a question, "What rumor? What jewel shard are you talking about?" Okay so it was more like two questions but does it really matter?
Myoga sighed once more and looked up at Inuyasha with a tired expression. "That's just it Master Inuyasha, the rumors are all about a demon who terrorizes several villages. But at each village they describe the creature differently, which leads me to believe that the demon is a shape shifter."
Inuyasha tensed. A shape shifter? He knew one, and only one. And that one had led him to believe his first love had betrayed him, and ruined his life. He growled deep in his throat, he could tell where this was going.
"Myoga. This shape shifter…did anyone notice if he had a scar on his back? One shaped like a spider?"
"I truly wouldn't know, Master Inuyasha. Nobody has seen him."
"Nobody has seen him? How can that be if he terrorizes the villages?"
"Because…all that have seen him end up as nothing but a rotting corpse."
Kagome Awoke to the sun shining brightly in her coffee colored eyes. She blinked some sleep away before sitting up, careful not to disturb Shippo. She looked around. Kirara was in Sango's lap, who sat by a tree across from Miroku, who was currently knocked out from a severe blow to the head. Kagome sighed, then vaguely wondered if Miroku had tried anything while Sango was asleep before turning to where Inuyasha had been last night. Only to find the ramen that he was eating the night before.
Kagome looked around once more and found no trace of the silver-haired boy anywhere. The girl wondered where he could be. Maybe he had just smelled something funny and went to check it out. He did that sometimes, and wouldn't come back for hours on end. Or, perhaps, he went to go find some water for his breakfast of ramen. But she had water in her backpack, so why would he do that?
Then she saw it, lying on the floor.
It was a letter, addressed to her. She got out of her sleeping bag and walked over to where the letter was sitting and unfolded it. The paper was one of Miroku's blank sutras and the handwriting was small, but large enough to read, and you could tell the writer was one who used quick strokes.
Kagome read through the letter, then stepped quickly to her backpack and pulled out a compass, then her bow. She strapped on her arrow holding thingy. (I don't know what it's called, but if somebody could tell me in a review it would be very much appreciated.) The miko looked around at her still sleeping friends before tossing the note onto Miroku's lap and leaving the campsite.
Kirara woke in Sango's lap, and stretched her tiny legs before jumping onto the ground. She looked around the campsite and found that the hanyou and miko were missing. Being the companion of a demon slayer, Kirara had her instincts, and something told her that something was wrong with the two not being there. She looked back up at her dearest friend, and nudged her knee with her head. She clawed gently at it, and meowed some, but the demon slayer refused to awaken.
The fire cat finally gave up and went over to the sleeping monk and nudged the hand that didn't have the wind tunnel. Miroku simply grunted and rolled over to his other side. She nudged his back but he only begged for five more minutes of rest before getting up for the day.
Kirara was losing her patience and she simply bit the monk's forearm with her small sharp teeth.
Miroku jumped when he felt teeth sinking into his arm and turned to see large red eyes staring at him. The look the fire cat gave him said 'Hey, don't blame me, you're the one who wouldn't get up'.
"Ok Kirara, what is it you want?" he said, holding the place where he had been bitten. The demon only meowed at him and sat down, never taking her eyes off of him. Or rather, his lap.
The monk looked down and to his surprise there was a piece of paper sitting in his lap. He took it in his hands and examined it. It was obviously one of his blank sutra scrolls, and it had been slightly crumpled on one of its corners. The young man unfolded it carefully and read its contents.
"Sango." He called. The woman across from him merely sighed and huddled closer to the tree behind her. Miroku was about to call her name again but something caught his eye. You've got one guess on what it was.
If you guessed it was a little black piggy named Pchan then you have seriously got the wrong anime. If you guessed it was Sango's posterior then you are absolutely correct! And what do you win? Nothing! Now let's get back to the story…
Sango woke up with the feeling of serious unwanted contact in a place I'm not allowed to say around my younger siblings, if you know what I mean. When she realized what it was her eyes grew wide and she tensed.
Without warning her hand flew out and made contact with the side of Miroku's face. Ah, some things will just never change.
"Dearest Sango! I was merely brushing off the dirt that was resting on your very nice and soft backside! I didn't mean to violate you in anyway! Honest!" Miroku pleaded. He did not like to be on Sango's bad side what so ever.
"Hentai! You're such a liar Miroku!" Sango yelled back. She was indeed tired of Miroku's antics and one way or another she was going to get him to stop, or, so she believed.
Shippo had awoken just in time to see Miroku get slapped for the second time that day. The little fox sighed, why were adults so weird?
Shippo looked around and noticed that both Kagome and Inuyasha were missing. "Hey! Sango! Miroku! Where are Kagome-chan and Inuyasha?"
"Um…I don't know. Did you see them Kirara?" the demon slayer asked, cuddling her companion to her.
"Ah!" Miroku started to search the ground for something, "Oh yes, here it is!" he exclaimed as he picked up a piece of paper.
"Nani?" Sango and Shippo asked in unison.
"It is where I think our friends are," answered the monk. "It is a letter from Myoga."
"Myoga? You mean that flea demon?" Shippo questioned.
"The one and the same. But you see, the letter is addressed to Kagome."
"What does it say Houshi-sama?"
"Here, I'll read it for you." Miroku cleared his throat before reading the letter aloud, "Dear Kagome-sama, Master Inuyasha and I have ventured forth to find a jewel shard in the east. Master Inuyasha fears it may be too dangerous for you or any of the others to come along, so we will be traveling alone. Our return will be in a few days at the most. Signed Myoga."
"But that doesn't explain what happened to Kagome…" Shippo stated after a long silence.
"He's right. According to the letter, they left Kagome behind. So where is she now?" Sango asked.
Miroku gathered his face into a frown that only surface when he is contemplating a serious matter. "I believe that after Kagome-sama read the letter, she thought Inuyasha would need her help, despite what Inuyasha's wishes were. Telling her that they went east was their mistake, because now Kagome-sama knows what direction to head in."
"So, you're saying she went after them, correct?"
"Exactly."
"You know what this means, Houshi-sama?"
"Yes, indeed I do." Miroku brought his smile back and started to pack up the sleeping bags and such, just how Kagome had showed him.
"Miroku, what are you doing?" Shippo asked in confusion.
"Packing, my little curious friend."
"Packing…why?"
Miroku looked at Shippo and placed one of his famous smiles on his face. "Shippo. We're going after Kagome-sama!"
Kagome trudged through the forest, following her compass that pointed her east. Damn that Inuyasha, why couldn't he just bring her along? Staying back there made her worry about him, and she didn't like that feeling. Her mind had been made up as soon as she read the letter: she was going to him, no matter how dangerous it supposedly was.
She briefly wondered how much farther Inuyasha and Myoga had gone, but shook the thought away.
God it was hot. Kagome wiped the sweat off of her forehead with the sleeve of her school uniform. Walking through this thick forest was almost torture on the miko. But she told herself that almost doesn't count to keep her spirit up and kept at it. She was not going to give up now.
Inuyasha was on all fours, sniffing the ground with his reliable nose. People of the village would have laughed at his comical posture, if they hadn't been scared of the fact that there was a demon in their village.
One brave young man approached the hanyou in question and told him with a firm voice to leave the village at once. The poor soul.
Inuyasha heard the man's foot steps so he already knew he was being approached, but chose to ignore it. Till the man had the nerve to tell him to leave. The silver-haired boy sat back on his feet and looked over his shoulder at the villager. He did his little keh before he went back to sniffing at the ground. The poor soul.
The young man's mother called to him, pleading for him to get back. But apparently this guy had a lot of nerve, because he simply shouted to his mother that he could handle this pathetic demon. Then, right when Inuyasha was about to retaliate to that 'pathetic' remark the villager kicked dirt into his face. This caused Inuyasha's sensitive nose to go ballistic and he sneezed none stop for about forty-five seconds. The poor soul.
Ok, that did it. Inuyasha stood to his full height and found that he easily towered over the young man. Golden orbs darted towards the villager and he stumbled back in fright.
Inuyasha snickered. Oh yes, this would be fun.
The hanyou lifted his clawed hand and looked at it, then the boy, then his hand. He was contemplating if he should put this boy in his place or not. He seemingly came to a decision because he smirked and brought his claws down, within within inches of the frightened boy's face. Poor soul my ass, this guy had it comin'.
He had only meant to scare the guy, but from another point of view…well, it didn't exactly look like that.
Kagome had been walking for so long, she felt that she could hardly walk anymore. That's when she saw it. A clearing, a large clearing. Wait, there were houses and…and…INUYASHA?
Kagome ran towards the flash of silver she saw through the trees. And when she got to that clearing, let's just say she was shocked to say the least.
There he was her Inuyasha, with his claws in some poor boy's face. She panicked for a second. Had he gone full demon again? No, he couldn't have, Tetsusaiga was still near him. Did that mean…he was doing it because the boy was just weaker then him? That had to be it!
Inuyasha! Kagome thought, You're goin' down!
Inuyasha was going to scare the boy again, but the he smelled something familiar. Yes, he knew the scent, how could he not? It was definitely Kagome. He looked around, but the girl wasn't in the village….
"INUYASHA! OSUWARI!"
Okay, I was wrong, she was in the village. Sue me.
Inuyasha looked up at the girl with the coffee colored eyes, and muttered something into the dirt.
Kagome was about to yell at him, but she could tell he was trying to say something so she held off on the yelling, "What was that Inuyasha?"
Finally the spell wore off the silver-haired stood as the boy from the village ran away. "I said, pink is a nice color on you." Inuyasha looked up at the sky while he spit out some dirt.
Kagome looked down at her cloths. It was what she normally wore, her white and green school uniform. So why did he say that pink…looked… Her eyes opened wide and she blushed furiously once realization dawned on her. Suddenly she felt violated and she held herself away from Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha you pervert! You looked up my skirt when you were down there!" the miko accused.
"Keh, it's not my fault. I was trying to look at you, not at what's under that thing you call a 'skirt'" Inuyasha said. He looked back at Kagome, and he could tell she was infuriated. Oh yes, indeed this would hurt.
"OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI!" Inuyasha suffered as Kagome gave out the sit command after, sit command after, sit command after sit command…
The demon slayer and the monk, along with the fox demon of course were riding on the back of the fire cat. (In other words, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were riding on Kirara's back) Kirara and Shippo could hear all the 'OSUWARIs' coming from one direction, now that they were closer, and Shippo informed the two humans about this. Then Kirara sped up towards the sounds of pain for Inuyasha…
Kagome only stopped sitting Inuyasha after she saw Kirara, who was carrying all of her friends. Then all of a sudden she sported a smile and trotted over to them "Hey! How did you guys know where I was?"
"Well, you did leave us this note Kagome-sama" Miroku said while holding up the letter.
"Oh yeah…. I did kinda toss it at you when I left…" Kagome remembered.
"Hey Kagome-chan…?"
"Yeah Sango-chan?"
"Uh, what did he do…to deserve that?" Sango pointed over to a crater the Kirara was sniffing at.
"Who? Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, then continued after she saw everyone nodded his or her heads. "That pervert…he…. he…THE PERV LOOKED UP MY SKIRT!" Kagome finally managed to get out.
"It is times like these, I am glad Miss Sango does not have the ability to 'sit' me" the young man with the ponytail said. Everyone stared at him while he said a prayer, thanking the gods before Inuyasha finally managed to get out of the very large and very deep crater.
The dog hanyou held his head in agony "Damn it woman," he managed to say through his pain. "It wasn't even my fault. If you hadn't sat me the first time and stood right in front of me…"
"No excuses baka!" Kagome snapped.
"Wait, you sat him before? What did he do that time?" Shippo questioned.
"Oh yeah…Inuyasha! What were you doing to that poor villager!" Kagome shouted and the hanyou cringed. He wasn't truly afraid of Kagome but her yelling was not helping the ringing in his head.
"Could you quiet down wench? And that villager, I wasn't doin' nothin' to him. Then he kicked dirt up at me so I got my revenge by scarin' him. End of story…or it would have been if you hadn't jumped to conclusions and sat me damn it!" Inuyasha shouted in Kagome's face. Bad idea.
His head was ringing even more now, and what was worse, he could smell salt on Kagome.
The hanyou's eyes widened a bit when he realized that the girl was crying. It felt even worse because he knew it was his fault. "Uh…Kagome? …I didn't mean it…I mean…um…don't cry…!" He couldn't stand to see Kagome cry, let alone any other girl in the world.
Kagome hiccuped and tensed a bit before saying "Inuyasha, I get it. I'm j-j-just a b-burden to you…" Kagome stuttered through her ears, and wrenched at Inuyasha's heart in doing so. "Well I…I'm s-sorry, and I…. I'll just leave n-n-now." Kagome wiped her eyes on her uniform sleeve and ran into the forest surrounding the village.
Inuyasha just stared after her. He didn't know if he should go after her or stay, but he had to do something.
Sango was starting after Kagome and Miroku held out his arm to stop her. The demon slayer looked back at the monk with a question in her eyes. He simply looked her in the eye, then nodded his head towards Inuyasha who had already started after the miko. "Let's just look for information on that jewel shard he was here for." Miroku suggested, and Sango nodded her head before they started into the village.
Inuyasha sniffed at the air in the forest. He could smell Kagome, along with the smell of salt. He scowled. Why did he always say things that made her cry? Didn't he have a brain, or at least common sense? The silver-haired boy sighed. This was just not his day.
Then he heard it, Kagome's scream. He sped forward, and called her name. This was definitely not his day.
Kagome heard Inuyasha calling to her and she saw him leap into the air after her and the demon that captured her. She could tell he was pissed, why she didn't know, but she thought that it might be because he had to save her again. Again. God this was getting old. She watched Inuyasha from the where she was, which was thrown over the demon's shoulder.
The demon laughed with a sort of high-pitched voice. He turned around towards Inuyasha. He was still traveling on his shoes that had wings on them. Inuyasha knew he couldn't fly without them, because he was definitely a wolf demon.
The demon had bright orange hair that was in a long braid behind him. He looked down at Inuyasha, who was leaping from tree to tree, with blazing red eyes and…orange eyeliner?
The hanyou would have wondered about this a little bit more, but the demon called to him. "You must be Inuyasha, right?"
"It doesn't matter who the fuck I am, just put Kagome down!"
The demon laughed, then patted Kagome on her backside, "Nope! I've been sent to collect this lovely example of a female human."
Kagome's eyes widened when she felt his hand on her butt. Okay, she was starting to get pissed. Then all of a sudden the demon turned back around and Kagome was facing Inuyasha again. She looked into his eyes and pleaded with him to get her away from this weird pervert guy.
His eyes promised her he would and he used all of his power to jump high into the air. He reached out for her hand, but the wolf demon sped up and the hanyou missed.
Inuyasha landed in a tree, and looked up to see Kagome yelling his name and reaching out to him before they disappeared behind the clouds.
He punched the trunk of the tree. Damn, this was not his day.
Oofie: "God, I started this chapter on Friday night, and it's Sunday morning right now."
Myoga: "What took you so long?"
Oofie: "I had writer's block" frowns
Kagome: "Poor Oofie-chan."
Oofie: "Yes, woe is me."
Inuyasha: "Keh, women."
Kagome: "What was that?"
Inuyasha: "Are you deaf, or just plain stupid? I said KEH, WOMEN!"
Kagome: "INUYASHA YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT US THAT WAY!"
Inuyasha: "I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF I GOT THE RIGHT OR NOT, I'M DOIN' IT ANYWAY!"
Myoga: "Do they always do this?"
Oofie: rubs her temples in agony "Yes, yes they do."
Myoga: "You poor soul."
Oofie: "Ah, Myoga I don't need your pity. So don't waste it on me."
Myoga: "Yes ma'am."
Oofie: "Thank you. Now, while they fight it out," nods her head towards the two lovebirds "let's have a little talk Myoga."
Myoga: "Yes, let's."
Oofie: "Ok, so what have you been up to lately?"
Myoga: "The usual, helping Master Inuyasha with his travels and adventures."
Oofie: "In other words, running away."
Myoga: "I take that offensively."
Oofie: "Oh, I'm sorry. But it's true right?"
Myoga: "…"
Oofie: "Ok I'll stop. But I have to ask, don't you find it ironic that a flea demon is servant to a dog demon?"
Myoga: "It hasn't really occurred to me…"
Oofie: looks at him in disbelief "Really…?"
Myoga: "Really."
Oofie: "…"
Myoga: changes the subject "Master Inuyasha is not going to like the out come of this argument." looks over at the fighting couple "It's going to hurt."
Oofie: "Hey, what doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger."
Kagome: "INUYASHA YOU JERK!" starts to cry
Inuyasha: "Ack, Kagome…don't…. Please don't cry…"
Oofie & Myoga: shake their heads "10…9…8…"
Inuyasha: "Come on Kagome…"
Oofie & Myoga: "…7…6…5…"
Inuyasha: "Kagome…look I'm sorry ok, just shut up the damn crying already!"
Oofie & Myoga: cover their ears "…4…3…"
Kagome: aura flares
Oofie & Myoga: "…2…"
Inuyasha: realizes his mistake and attempts to run
Oofie & Myoga: "…1!"
Kagome: "INUYASHA YOU BIG JERK! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI!"
Oofie: looks at the gaping hole in the earth "And so the saga continues…"
Myoga: jumps onto Oofie's head and waves goodbye "Farewell all my fans!"
Oofie: waves anyway "Heh, whatever Myoga."
