Chapter 4: Hypnotizing Cows

RECAP: They walked in a comfortable silence back to the village.

They arrived at the village to see Sango, Miroku, and Shippo all sitting together.

"Aw, how kawaii. They're like a little family.", Kagome cooed.

Inuyasha sweat dropped as they walked over to the others.

"Hey, what's going on? Having a meeting without us?", Inuyasha grinned to his friends.

They all started to sweat and frantically yelled, "NO!"

Inuyasha and Kagome were taken aback by the loud outburst. "Okay, jeez. Don't have a cow.", Kagome said and rubbed her head.

Then, all of a sudden, Inuyasha said something very odd. "Moo."

Everyone looked at him like he was insane. "Why did you just moo like a cow?", Kagome asked wearily.

"Moo." They all sat bulge-eyed while he looked like nothing happened. Kagome was freaking out. What the hell is wrong with him? HE'S MOOING LIKE A FRIKEN COW!

"Inuyasha? Why are you acting like a cow?", Shippo asked quietly, although not knowing what a cow was. He didn't want to 'disturb' Inuyasha's moment.

"Moo.", he said automatically after she finished the sentence.

"Inuyasha, I do believe that mooing is a very. . .odd thing to do. You're a hanyou with dog ears. Not a fat piece of meat with big black dots.", Miroku said, half expecting the hanyou to ignore him and moo again. . .but didn't. What is going on?

Wait a minute. . . "Inuyasha, say moo.", Kagome said looking him in the face.

"Why?", he asked like she was crazy. Everyone looked to Kagome then back to Inuyasha.

"Because–", Sango began but Kagome hushed her.

"Inuyasha, cow."

"–Moo."

Miroku was confused. "Is he under some sort of spell or something?"

"What are you talking about? I'm fine!"

Kagome thought back to when she was teaching him about different kinds of animals.

Flashback

Kagome showed Inuyasha a book about mammals.

"What's that?", he asked and pointed to a tall yellow-ish animal with orange dots and a very long neck.

Kagome smiled. "That's a giraffe. It's a very gentle creature and a plant eater. It's basically always quiet."

Inuyasha nodded. What weird animals. . .

She turned the page. "And what's that big fat thing over there?", he asked while pointing to the next page.

Kagome giggled. "That's a cow. It produces milk and goes moo."

"Moo? Why?", he asked, curious.

"I don't know. It's what it does.", she shrugged. She then saw him imitating a cow. She giggled at how ridiculous he could be sometimes. Hm. . .I wonder if that would work?

She took out a pocket watch from her bag and called Inuyasha over to her. "Yeah?"

"Sit down. I want to try something." He nodded and sat down cross-legged in front of her. She sat up from laying belly-down and also crossed her legs.

"Okay, keep your eyes on the watch and don't say a word." She softly swayed the watch back and forth in front of his face. His eyes followed it as it went back and forth.

Kagome giggled. She knew this was stupid and wasn't going to work, but it was fun none-the-less. Then, all of a sudden, his eyes started to droop.

Kagome was shocked. Either he was a very easy sleeper or this thing actually works!

Then his head drooped and his eyes shut closed.

Kagome couldn't believe it. Oh good god. . .I think it worked!

She kept swaying the watch and went on with the words. "Okay. . .when I snap my fingers, every time I say the word 'cow' you will say the word 'moo.' Understand?" Then she stopped the watch and put it back in her pocket.

She giggled and snapped her fingers. He slowly came back to reality. He yawned and said, "What's up? Did I fall asleep?"

Kagome giggled harder and nodded. "Yeah. You did. Hey, Inuyasha?"

"Yeah?"

"Cow." He immediately looked like he went into a trance and uh, mooed.

Kagome fell to the floor laughing. She had to remember this for another time. It could come in handy. And I'm not talking about the hypnosis either!

End of Flashback

Kagome grabbed her sides in an attempt to stop laughing. She did the rest of them, except obviously Inuyasha.

"Oi, you wench! I'm not some experiment you can just do whatever you want with! How dare you play a trick on me like that!", he growled and angrily pointed an accusing finger at her.

Kagome couldn't stop laughing. She was tearing uncontrollably. "I-I'm sorry. . .I-Inuyasha. . .it's j-just. . .I couldn't h-help myself-f. Ahahaha!"

He grunted and went to go sit in a tree and grimace at them all with pure and unadulturated hatred and fury. whee, big words.

"Hey, Inuyasha?", Kagome called before he left.

"What?", he asked over his shoulder, with malice in his voice.

They all screamed, "COW!"

"–Moo."

They fell to the floor laughing, trying as hard as they could to stop, but to no prevail.

He growled loudly and flew into the tree. He promised to not come down for a very long time. At least until he turned 30.
