H"Naraku!" Inuyasha exclaimed rising out of his seat. Sesshomaru dropped his French fry and leaned back in his chair, folding his arms.
"Inuyasha," he asked sternly with his eyes closed, as if he was in deep thought, "sit down before you hurt yourself."
Inuyasha sat down reluctantly muttering a few curses. Miroku and Sango looked at each other and nodded.
"Shippo, can you tell us more about what happened?" Sango asked. Shippo looked as if someone shot him a few times and Sango put her hands on top of his reassuringly. Sesshomaru noticed Miroku was too interested to notice and Inuyasha looked as jumpy as ever.
Shippo gulped. "I…don't really…recall-" he quivered. Inuyasha balled his hands into fists, shaking with anxiety.
"Please Shippo, it would help us solve this certain case we're on. We need to find out who this man is, what he looks like, and what he does." Miroku said in a very serious tone looking over at Inuyasha. He was staring at the janitor, waiting for him to answer.
Silence.
Sango cocked her head to the head and looked at him with concern.
"It's ok Shippo, we want to help you."
"Maybe we can help you get out of here if you tell us what you know." Miroku said. Shippo looked at the ground and Inuyasha stood up.
"Look, there was this girl ok? And she DIED because of this guy apparently and I need to know WHY! So you have to tell me because I don't wanna knock it out of you myself."
"Inuyasha, sit down." Sesshomaru said calmly nibbling another French fry.
"I need to figure this out!"
"Inuyasha…" Miroku said with a warning.
"It's ok. I'll get over it. This is how it all happened. It all started one night when my family, as in my parents and Rin were driving over to Florida for vacation…"
Hucyuck! I love flashbacks! They're always so happy! (Oh Goofy. Poor, poor, Goofy. Not all flashbacks are happy ones.) Huh? (So naïve at times. Silly goose, just watch.) By the way, I'm a dog. Not a goose. (Really? I thought you were a duck!) Nope. A dog. (I know you can't see it but I just sweat dropped. I hope you're happy!)
A family sat in a blue 67' Mustang, driving on the highway according to their map. The red haired mother turned to her little four-year old daughter who was trying to sleep in the backseat, but her little redheaded brother kept playing with her hair. She tried shooing him away and hugged her Muppet pillow in frustration, but he found her brown hair fascinating.
"Mommy! Tell Shippo to stop! I'm really tired." The little girl yawned.
"But Mommy, why does Rin have brown hair and we all have red?" the little boy asked. Their mother smiled.
"You'll understand when you're older. Why don't you ask Grammy when we get there? She was always better at explaining things like that. Right Kyo?" She replied with a chuckle. Her husband looked at her then back at the empty roads.
"Sure she is. When she tried to explain to me how to make yams at Thanksgiving, she said take a baked potato, die it orange, mash it up and put cool whip on top."
"That was bad. Shippo's nose turned orange!"
"But it returned to normal later Lidia!" Shippo frowned.
"But they looked so yummy!" he exclaimed. They laughed and stopped talking for a while. His sister broke the silence with a snore.
"Dear, it's getting dark, put on the headlights." She ordered him.
"I know, I know. Hey look! A car!"
"Civilization!" Shippo cried looking out the window at the car behind them. "Wow Mommy, that guy's car is all black and pretty."
The sleek Corvette gathered speed and tailgated the family's car dangerously. In the rearview mirror, Kyo frowned at the car that moved side to side and drove a little faster.
"Ruthless bastard." He muttered.
Suddenly, the car was jolted. Rin woke up with a start and hugged her pillow tighter.
"Mommy, what's going on?"
Lidia didn't answer because she was watched the car pass them on the other side of the road. Kyo slowed down a bit so the car would pass and he watched it speed ahead in front of them.
"Is everyone alright?" he asked not moving his eyes away from the road.
"Uh-huh." Replied a meek response from the two children. Lidia turned around to look at them.
"Mommy, why are you crying?"
"I thought we were going to die." She said wiping a tear away, but her husband grabbed her hand.
"What?"
"…I love you." He said with a tear down his cheek. Shippo watched in horror as the corvette they saw earlier abandoned itself right in front of them. The man stood on the side of the road with an evil grin as Kyo turned head on into a tree. It seemed to like forever until the screaming subsided.
…(Goofy? Are you ok?) …Why did it have to end that way? Why couldn't it be like a Disney movie and they would come back to life? (They don't always…) YES THEY DO! Stupid Walt Disney… I'LL KILL HIM! (Goofy…he's already dead…)I'LL KILL HIM! I'LL-
BEEP-BEEP
PLEASE EXCUSE THE INTURUPTION. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE LAST STATEMENT AS WE HAVE TO REPLACE MR. GOOFY WITH A NEW CO-STAR FOR HE IS HAVING…A TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY. WE WILL RESUME IN A MOMENT AFTER…OH MY GOD! HE'S GOT AN AXE! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! RUN! SAVE YOURSELVES! RUN BEFORE…
BEEP-BEEP
(Ok…well then, we have a new co-star. Please welcome, Cloud!) Hello. (Thank you for before.) It was nothing. (Sure. It was nothing to stop a rampaging, talking, Disney dog who was going on a killing spree, foaming at the mouth and holding an axe.) Like I said, it was nothing.
Shippo stopped talking for a second for he was shaking with sobs. Sango had tears in her eyes and gave him a hug for support.
"Go on." She whispered and they both turned to the silent group, waiting to hear more about the tragedy.
"It was terrible. The car was on fire when I woke up, I was covered in dirt and ashes and I watched the car explode. My mother was right next to me, holding my sister in her arms. Rin was crying and crying and screaming for mother to wake up, but I already knew she was gone. Dad never got out of the car in time and he didn't survive."
Inuyasha felt guilty, making Shippo go on.
"Are you sure you wish to continue Mr. Kodokawa?" Miroku asked. Sesshomaru was still in deep thought, with no emotion on his face. Shippo nodded and went on.
"But then, the worst happened. I saw the man walk over to my mother, as me and Rin hid behind a tree. 'Fools.' He said. 'No one ever wins against Naraku, because Naraku ALWAYS wins.' And he laughed. He laughed and laughed and…and…he took out a knife and he decapitated my mother!"
Sango looked horrified and group's eyes widened.
"He…cut off her head, her arms, her legs…he destroyed her. I told Rin to run away, because I was injured in the leg. I asked for her to get help and she somehow made it to Kaede. Unfortunately for me, I had to witness my mother's further death and watch him run off with her body. But then, I found myself lost. I was lost on the side of a road in the dark with no one around. So…I picked up my mom's cell phone and I walked."
"You…walked? At six years old? And left your four year old sister alone?" Miroku asked bewildered.
Shippo nodded again. "And I didn't stop until I made it to this McDonalds where I was fed and raised upstairs by a nice man named Myoga."
"Wait a second. How did you find out about Rin again?" Inuyasha asked.
"A women called my mom's cell phone one day claiming to be a women named Kaede, who found Rin unconscious on the roadside near her house. Kaede lived in Texas when she discovered her, but she soon moved to Florida to escape the memories."
"Why couldn't she drive over to Texas and pick you up?" Sesshomaru said, finally opening his mouth to speak.
"Soon after, Kaede lost the ability to walk and drive and she didn't know about me until they were in Florida. The poor women was also mute and broke and never told a soul about Rin."
The group sat in silence.
"Well, there's only one thing to do now." Sango said getting up.
"Oh no…don't even-"
Now what? (Now we get to see what Kagome thinks about everything.) Oh. (Yes. Oh.)
Hm. (Hm? You don't talk much do you?) Nope. (I see.)
Kagome watched Shippo cry in his chair unable to say anything but 'Thank you'. Sango ran upstairs to tell Myoga that Shippo was going to be reunited with his sister again and Miroku coaxed Inuyasha into letting Shippo ride in the car with them.
"Show some compassion will ya?" Miroku pleaded.
"Compassion! I'll show you some compassion and stick it up your ass!" Inuyasha fought back. "You didn't show me any compassion during the car ride! You and your 'partner' were going at it like you belonged in a loony bin!"
"I didn't see YOU stopping us!"
"It's not my business!" Inuyasha shot back.
"Well I didn't hear YOU complaining about it! You could've said something instead of sitting back and enjoying the fight like we were competing in some kind of sport!" he retorted hotly.
"I don't get in the middle of love quarrels ok?"
"Why are you acting like a PMSing teenager? Let Shippo come with us or we don't help you out with this mystery." Miroku replied folding his arms. Inuyasha just glared and turned around.
"Feh." And he sat down across from Sesshomaru.
"Don't even talk to me." His brother said taking a French fry. Kagome giggled at the two and she flew over to Shippo to examine him. All of a sudden, he looked up. She waved.
"It's such a shame he can't see me. He needs a hug." She saw his face turn red and then to a pale white. He was looking straight at her. He rubbed his eyes and then looked at her again.
"You…Can you see me?" Kagome asked softly flying over to him, sitting crosslegged on the table in front of him. He gulped and nodded. She grinned and put a finger to her lips.
"I'm Kagome. Don't tell anyone about me yet." She whispered. He nodded again.
"You don't talk much do you Shippo?" He nodded again.
"Well, talk then." But before he could say something, Sango came back with Myoga who looked pretty excited because his big bug eyes were lit up like a Christmas tree. He was hopping from foot to foot waving his cane in the air.
"Shippo my boy! You'll finally be reunited with your sister!" the short, almost bald man said walking over.
Kagome looked at Shippo.
"He seems more excited than you are." She replied chuckling a bit.
"Yeah well, we're very close." Shippo said looked at Kagome again.
"Indeed we are. Who are you talking too?" Myoga said trying to figure out what Shippo was looking at.
"Um, everyone in general." He replied quickly shooing Kagome away. She huffed and decided to annoy Inuyasha a bit, who was yet again trying to steal Sesshomaru's French fries. And again he was losing.
"Alright, we have to get a move on. We're already late enough as it is thanks to all of you." Sesshomaru said walking over to the counter and ordered five more orders of French fries. But then, Myoaga turned serious and turned to Shippo.
"Shippo. I need to give you something before you leave. Something very important."
"I bet it's a lollipop." Inuyasha muttered to Miroku. They laughed until Sango elbowed them.
"Here…" Myoga replied handing over a black case. Shippo opened up the case and his eyes widened.
"Myoga…what?" The group came over to take a look at the gift. Two guns lay there in the black case. One had a shining silver color and with the best marksmanship anyone's ever seen, Tetsaiga was engraved along the top. The other was a dark black with blue flames across it and the top read Tetsuaiga.
"HOLY SHIT! THEY'RE GUNS!" cried Inuyasha who stared at the guns in awe.
"They're…gorgeous." Said Sesshomaru who just stood there with an envious look on his face.
The two policemen looked at the old man.
"Mr. Myoga, do you have a gun license?" Sango asked.
"As a matter of fact I do!" And he pulled out a white card with his face on it. Miroku nodded.
"I'm sorry but you aren't allowed to own these guns until you're 18 and have a proper license Shippo." Miroku said.
"I'll take 'em!" The two demonic brothers said in unison, almost too eagerly. They shoved their licenses in front of the policemen's faces before they could make a statement and they both grabbed the case.
"Hey!" Inuyasha growled.
The rest of the group sweatdropped.
"Ok, I'll put the names of the guns on the table face down. You each take a piece of paper and it'll decide which one!"
"Fine by me." Sesshomaru muttered.
10 minutes after the group left McDonalds
"Ugh…I think I'm gonna be sick." Shippo replied from the backseat, holding his stomach. Sango and Miroku were gripping their seatbelts for dear life.
"Well, blame Inuyasha for driving. He's just a sad little teen looking for a life. It's out there somewhere. Or so he thinks." Sesshomaru snorted.
"Oh thanks." He replied sarcastically. "Well I don't hear Sango and Miroku complaining. And they're cops!"
"They're too busy holding on to their safety belts so they don't get killed." Shippo replied. He opened the window for some air.
"How much longer Sesshomaru?" Sango finally said.
"About 2 more hours."
"No, no. I meant how much longer Inuyasha's going to drive." Sango said gripping Miroku's hand when the driver swirved again.
"He's just mad because my gun shoots blue flames and his is a silver plain old gun."
"Don't make me take out my 'plain old gun' on you." Inuyasha said turning towards Sesshomaru.
Shippo looked at Kagome again who sat cross-legged in the air.
"Ugh, just watching you guys makes me wanna hurl." Kagome said.
"Your lucky you don't have a stomach." Shippo grinned. The group stared at him and Shippo blushed.
"Who were you talking to? Your imaginary friend." Inuyasha retorted.
"Nope…just…the air! It's the best thing I can do so I can keep myself from getting killed." Shippo replied saving himself.
"Good idea." Sango and Miroku muttered to themselves.
"Oh…fuck." Sesshomaru said all of a sudden.
And the group looked outside of the window and saw a sleek black corvette.
"DAMNIT TO HELL!"
Well now…that was interesting. (Do you not love it?) It was good…but the Goofy part was a little disturbing. (Oh get over it. You've seen worse.) True like this one time, I kicked such ass that blood spewed out of the open stomachs from where I slashed- (OK! DON'T SCARE THE REVIEWERS! Say good-bye Cloud!) Ciao.
