Chapter 2: The Fairy Godparent
Naomi snickered and went back to her room, leaving Inu Yasha alone with his thoughts. Inu Yasha slowly went into the kitchen and sighed, leaving Time staring at him sadly.
"I heard what your stepmother said. I'm ready to sacrifice myself for you're sake. After all, I would've died if you hadn't saved me from the coffee cup in the first place," Time said after a moment's pause.
Inu Yasha looked at Time's innocent eyes. He couldn't do it. That would be too selfish of him.
"No, Time. I don't think that's necessary. I mean, it's just a ball and……" Inu Yasha left the sentence hanging there. He wanted to go to the ball and see Princess Kagome for the first time. There were rumors that she was the most beautiful woman there ever was.
Time smiled. "I guess so", he said.
When evening came, the house went wild. Naomi was screaming for her sons to get into another outfit, making them change ten times already while she rummaged through her jewelry box, looking for a nice necklace.
"Sesshomaru, does this earring match my necklace? Do these shoes go well with my dress? Do you think I put on too much lipstick?" Naomi frantically bombed one question after another at the frustrated looking Sesshomaru.
"Mother, you look fine", Sesshomaru finally said as he straightened his tie. Koga came down in a suit, walking with a weary look on his face that changed to a scared look when he looked at his mother, thinking that she would want him to change his dress again.
"That one looks good, Koga", Naomi replied, making a relieved sigh come out of him.
Naomi finally chose a necklace and checked her dress which was a shade of pink with no sleeves and disastrously frilly. She finally turned to Inu Yasha and said, "you better not let any visitors in while we're gone and I want all chores done by the time we get home."
"Yes, ma'am", Inu Yasha said, smiling inside. This was the first time that he was going to be left alone and he was going to enjoy it as much as he could that turned out impossible after his stepbrothers and stepmother left. He couldn't think about anything but the ball. He finished his chores early and sat on the stairs sighing.
"Don't be so gloomy, Inu Yasha. I'm sure the ball isn't all that great than sitting home all by yourself", Time reassured with a failed attempt.
Inu Yasha sighed again. This wasn't as fun as he expected it to be. Suddenly a blue light entered the house and came up before Inu Yasha, transforming into a demon with long black hair and reddish eyes.
"So, why did you call me?" he asked.
"Who the hell are you? I didn't call anybody", Inu Yasha replied, looking up at the stranger.
"My name is Naraku and I'm not your fairy god-anything, so just call me your fairy godfairy. Naturally, I'd be your fairy godenemy", he said.
"How is that possible? I never knew I had a fairy godfairy. I thought they only existed in fairy tales", Inu Yasha replied standing up.
"Okay, enough of the fairy-reality thing. So, what do you need me for? World domination? Mind control? The ability to make humans and demons your puppets? Immortality?" Naraku asked.
"Uh….I just want to go to the ball", Inu Yasha replied.
"Oh, so you can trash the whole place and show who's boss?" Naraku asked.
"What are you? The fairy devilfairy?" Inu Yasha asked.
"Hmmm…maybe I am", Naraku replied thoughtfully.
"I just want to go the ball for, you know, to dance and stuff with the princess", Inu Yasha answered.
"So you're not the evil type, eh? I wish the fairies would've assigned me to a more devilish kind of person. Anyways, why can't you go when you want to?" Naraku asked.
"Evil stepmother. I thought you'd know that", Inu Yasha replied.
"Yeah, we get these cases everyday. Evil stepmothers, crazy stepmothers, stepmothers who sock the house cat……"
"Yeah, yeah. I get the point. So, do I have to click my heels three times or something saying 'there's no place like the ball'?" Inu Yasha asked.
"That's old school. All I need to do is change a pumpkin into a carriage or something and some mice into horses and your dog into the carriage driver", Naraku replied.
"I also need to be changed into a demon", Inu Yasha reminded.
"Yeah, but I could only do that until midnight and then everything'll change. My wand's recharger broke and the spells are lasting a short time", Naraku replied.
"That's fine."
Naraku muttered a spell and hit Inu Yasha on the head with the wand. Inu Yasha started changing into a demon with a purple stripe appearing on each cheek, his yellow eyes changing to a dark red and his fangs and claws growing a millimeter or two longer. His hair turned into a darker shade of silver and a crescent moon appeared on his forehead, similar to the one Sesshomaru had. Inu Yasha glanced at a mirror in the hallway.
"Do you think that this moon is necessary?" Inu Yasha asked, pointing to his forehead. "It reminds me too much of Sesshomaru."
"It can't be helped. You're brothers", Naraku replied. "Now for the other part."
Naraku went outside and looked for a pumpkin. "Don't you have a pumpkin patch?"
"No. My stepmother's not the gardening type", Inu Yasha replied.
"Oh well, I guess we have to turn this apple into a carriage", Naraku answered, looking at an apple on the ground that fell from the neighbor's tree.
Naraku muttered another spell and the apple turned into a rather small carriage. Inu Yasha caught some mice and Naraku muttered more spells and turned the mice into gray horses with mice tails. "Sorry, my magic's a bit shabby today", Naraku said as he saw Inu Yasha stare at the mice tails on the horses. Naraku muttered a spell and the mice tails changed into normal horse tails. "So, where's your dog?"
"I don't have a dog, but I have a cockroach", Inu Yasha replied.
"A cockroach? You have a low sense of picking the right pet", Naraku said as he looked at Time on Inu Yasha's shoulder. He had been sitting there all this time. "Okay, here we go." Naraku muttered another spell and Time became a man sitting on Inu Yasha's shoulder. Inu Yasha toppled over under Time's weight. Time got up quickly, apologizing to Inu Yasha.
"Okay, so how about my dress?" Inu Yasha asked.
Naraku waved the wand in the air and Inu Yasha was fitted into a glamorous suit with gold lining and a gold colored hat with a phoenix feather and some black leather shoes that fitted perfectly on Inu Yasha's feet.
"There" Naraku said. "You can go now and remember about coming back at midnight", Naraku said after Inu Yasha as he climbed onto the carriage and went on his way to the ball.
