So you know its bad in your room when you literally have to shove things off your desk to put your mouse and keyboard down, but thats not even the best part! How about having to move about 15 lbs of clothes and about 10 lbs of papers out of the way, just to get to your computer desk? Yep its happened, Ive become a slob. But its only because Ive been living in my room for about 3 days, because I have my english final exam tomorrow, and Ive only left the room in search of food and bathroom use. I think its startin to stink in here, with all the plates and what not. Well, heres to another chapter, I hope you all enjoy, and good luck to me in my exams! R and R please.
Disclaimer : I do not own Inu Yasha and co, but I do own a harmonica, three glasses, an iPod, monitor, speakers, two cameras, mouse and keyboard, cell phone AND cordless, two mouse pads, a recorder( as in the instrument ), multiple hair buckles, a pin for clothing that says " much LOUD ", a candy cane from xmas, a lighter, beer opener/keychain with one key on it, multiple pencils, my meds, an alarm clock, roll of masking tape, notes and papers, my Echos 12 book, guitar pics... I could go on :P ( all of which are on my desk )
Chapter Three
History vs History ( Shinata vs Ashurii )
Kagome landed with an 'umph', and begins to lift her head out of the gravel pit her nose and cheeks had formed, ever so perfectly leaving an imprint in the flora.
Ouch, this really smarts, I gotta do this less to Inu Yasha.
Inu Yasha, as if able to read her thoughts, gave a cocky grin, before turning to the 'windbag', as Inu Yasha had called him earlier, before Kagomes initial arrival.
Inu Yasha pointed an unsheathed, very sharp tessaiga at the man in uniform, well, monk robs.
"What do you think you are doing, spying on Kagome?!" Inu Yasha seemed to shake, as if the words he'd said hurt him, or was it he didnt want his jewl detector to stop working.
"Ahh, Kagome is it? That is a beautiful name you have there..." Inu Yasha caught this 'monk' staring at what looked like chest level, and growled angrly at the intrusion.
"What are you looking at? I dont see anything to look at" Kagome did an animeic face plant into the ground, when she arose a slight pink tint on her cheeks, before she quickly turned to anger.
"Dont make me say it Inu Yasha!" Kagome leaned into Inu Yasha's face, before she turned around to see what was actually going on with this man. The monk gave an interested glare at the pare.
So THIS is THE Inu Yasha huh? Doesnt seem that strong.
"No no no, you got it all wrong. I was just wondering, is that the Shikon no Tama around you neck, miss Kagome?" Kagome's face turned to a deeper red as she put her two index fingers together, and took them apart, just to touch each other once again, several times before answering.
"Well, its pa...part..of it" The monk began to smile half heartedly, as if he'd regretted asking such a question.
"What she means to say is this idiot here shattered the jewl. See she came through a well and well- -- Wait why the hell am I explaining to you in the first place?" Inu Yasha put his sword back into the carboard and turned to the monk.
"Well, to be quite honest, im on a quest. " Kagome and Inu Yasha just gave each other a glance, before Kagome gave the monk a nod to continue.
"Well you see, this here " The monk pointed to his left hand, and held it up. Inu Yasha instinctivly got in front of Kagome, he had delt with this 'windbag' before, and it wouldnt surprise him to use it again.
"No, I'll explain, Inu Yasha is it? Ive heard many things about you " Inu Yasha grinned, his mention of his name gave him a pride of unmasterable proportions.
So he knew about me huh?
"Ohh so you know who I am then." The monks response was one Inu Yasha didnt exactly expect.
"No not really, I heard this lovely lady here, " he came up to Kagome and snaked his fingers into her hand, slyly at that.
"Say your name. Miss Kagome, Ive been traveling for quite some time, and I think ive found what I was looking for." Kagome's face turned tomato red, so red you could write STOP on her face, and people would believe it.
"Will you please, do me the honor, of bearing me a child?" Kagome laughed nervously, as you could hear curse words and tessaiga being unleashed in the background.
"SIT!" Kagome bellowed out over the obsenities and curse words streaming from the river nile of coarse language. As Inu Yasha's necklace glowed a pinkish purple haze, he then plumeted to the ground below, which was followed up with some more of this crude language of his.
"My my, an incantation. I should of known, your a priestess arent you? A low ranking one, but one of no doubt !" Kagome started to flare at his words of appreciation, and started to get a little agitated that he would add her 'low rank' to the sentance.
Kagome slipped her hand out of his grasp and stated, very clearly, almost angrly. " I will not be bearing any one any children for quite some time, MONK" She made his occupation into an insult, and it hurt him a little. Meanwhile, Inu Yasha had finally peeled himself off the gravel, and Shippo finally made his appearence, ariving on Kagome's shoulder, as always.
" Two demons and a priestess, this is.. an odd accompinance. But who am I to judge?" Inu Yasha had just about enough of this 'monk' and interjected.
"Yeah, who the hell gave you the right to ask my jewl finder for a child?!" Inu Yasha cringed, he knew something was about to threaten his very existance, and the producer of his soon to be pain looked as if her head was three times the size of her body, with an evil smirk, and fire and flames burst out behind her head. Inu Yasha gulped out loud.
This is bad
"Sit, sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit SIT!!!!! And while your in the ground, you can kiss your undead girlfriend!" Kagome stocked off, as the monk took off after her.
Maybe that was a tad much. Kagome thought, then waved it off as him being an idiot, and his idiocy deserved it.
"Listen, I wish to explain myself to you. You see, many year ago a curse was put onto my family, my father, his father, his father, and so on, and it is with me today. This here " The monk held up his right hand once more.
"This is what is known as the Wind Tunnel. It sucks up anything and everything in its path, however, this curse will eventually take me with it, as it gets bigger every day, and especially wider when and after I use it. And there is only one thing I can do to get lose of its grasp on my being" Kagome was captivated in his story, like a bottle with a message in it, that you throw over the side of a boat, she was swept up in the fantasy of this mans life, however cruel it may be.
"Who is it, please tell me" Kagome, like a 6 year old, tugged on his robs, expecting a prompt answer, which he did deliver, without a moments notice.
"Naraku. His name is Naraku. I must kill him, avenge my fathers death, and so this curse will be lifted. I just need to find him, and with help of the Shikon no Tama, I think I may be powerful enough to finally take him down." Unbeknownst to the monk, Inu Yasha, staggering, but still standing, began to make his way over to the talking couple, at the mention of Naraku.
"What did you say your name was?" Kagome began to form a bond with the man who had taken her imagination for a run of its moneys worth.
"Its Miroku, Miroku the great, Miroku the Magical, or at least thats what the ladies tell me they feel the night I spend with them had been like " Miroku gave Kagome a poke with his elbow, as if they were in the middle of a running joke, that she didnt quite understand, but laughed anyway.
"This is why I must find a child, for if I may day they will take Naraku on in his or her life, in case I d-" Kagome gave a small but noticable squeak in her voice. Miroku began to face the way of the wind, which, fortunatly, was also they direction the sun was falling on, making him all that more hansom, in Kagomes eyes anyway.
"Dont say that!" Kagome was falling for this guy, this sad, miserable excuse for a monk.
Yes, its working, please dont interefere with this mutt. Miroku grasped her hand once more, plastering a fake smile upon his face, as she gave back a genuin one, not flinching when he began his decloration again, or when she felt Inu Yasha's breath down her neck, she knew he was pissed.
"Will you please, lady Kagome, beauty of my dreams, lover of all that is good and pure, bear me a chi-" Inu Yasha had taken his hand out of Kagomes and stood between the two, face more red than Kagomes embarassed one.
"I wouldnt finish that sentance, MONK" He had used his occupation to sting his humanity, like it had been down with Kagome, and many prior to her.
"Ohh! I hadnt realized you two were an item!" Inu Yasha had his turn to flush with fire hydrent cheeks as he came back with a quick response, the kind he never thought through, the kind he seemed he only knew how to use, because it used little to none of his brain.
"No! Not even close! Shes just my jewl detector" Inu Yasha pointed to Kagome like a child points to a toy on the top shelf at a store.
"Im your WHAT?! Fine if thats it, Miroku I'll think about your offer" Kagome walked passed Inu Yasha to link her arm with Miroku.
"Your going to what?! Oh I dont think so! " Inu Yasha, as possesive as he is, finally showed his true colours, as he linked his arm to her other, only open one. Shippo, instinctively knowing this would not end well, jumped off them both, and took off toward the woods.
"Give her back!" Inu Yasha pulled his direction.
"No you let go! She is making her decision on her own!" Miroku stammered, pulling equally on his end.
It went on like this until Inu Yasha got fed up and finally punched Miroku in the gut, willing him to let go of her.
As Miroku weezed out and in, clinging to air, he passed out, falling on his knees to his back and finally to the ground, head turned to the left, palm open, legs straight.
"What the hell Inu Yasha?!" Kagome, for the first time, swore in front of Inu Yasha, at home with her friends she could be descirbed as trash talking dirty mouth, but here she felt as though she had to watch what she was saying, and clasped a hand over her mouth.
As she stared at the passed out monk on the ground, she whispered aloud.
"Maybe he's not so bad I mean look at him while he sleeps, he seems almost, at peace" After her final word, the cursed hand shot up and groped her butt, and she shreiked into Inu Yasha's ear.
"On second thought, kill him"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashurii took her time and placed her hand on her sword, just before Shinata had advanced, first slowly then with quickening steps, as she approached her apponent.
Shinata's are known for there persistance, once a fight has begun, it is only one thing that stops them, death, one way or the other, somtimes both.
Unsheathing Lady Masacre, Ashurii brought her own fury of strikes down on her partner, while Shinata managed to dodge all of her snail paced attacks.
I have no chance against this girl, theres no way I can do this.
Ashurii began to back track on her hopes, her faith could not carry her on anymore, only sheer will to fight was keeping her going.
They had only been fighting for about three minutes, exchanging equal skilled attacks and defenses, before Ashurii began to breathe heavily, she was almost reaching her limit.
"How did someone, whos mother died for her, become so useless? You're mother is probably rolling in her grave right now, god rest her soul" Ashurii wasnt sure if this was Shinata's way of pressuring her to go further, or to infuriate her, but both options became more clear.
"How dare you speak about my mother in that tone, she was as good to me as Kintaru was to you !" As soon as the words left her mouth, she had realized she'd hit a soft spot, no one should be allowed to bad mouth their deceased parents, especially if it wasnt worth the recoil after it.
Shinata's eyes became of nothing short of pure hatred as she swung, battle ax style, at the shorter girl in front of her, all strategy escaping her mind, fogging her brain was her anger.
"You, and no one else, will ever speak of my mother that way again !" Taking a swipe at her apponent horizontally, momentarily taking Ashurii by surprise, knocking her sword out of her hand.
From the side lines you could hear the Captain shout, " Ashurii Hasegawa, dropping a sword, minus two points."
Great, this is what I need, looks like I'll have to show her up then, I really didnt have to do this, but its the only choice I have now.
Little did these students, or her apponent know, but while in Canada, she may not have practiced swordsman ship, but working out on the fields has taught her one thing, that brute strength can defeat all.
Setting back into her signature defensive style once again, Ashurii awaited the beckoning of her apponent, for her to attack first, but she wasnt that stupid, to attack an armed woman, without any arms herself. Then there was a stand still, a silent stage of both students.
"Fine have it your way!" Shinata charged, with fury and frightning attacks, but Ashurii was different from all the others, her most important weapon, her mind, remaind calm, while her secondary daggers, her heart, stayed within rhythm.
Side stepping was easy, for her practiced technique, making her apponent seem to be in slow motion, to comparasion, as she was backed into a corner, not realizing her partner had planned out her attack very well.
"I dont care who your mother was, I dont even care who you are supposed to be, when you talk about my family, I will make you regret it."
"Oh well you just finish me off already, your voice is agravating me..."
Shinata's speed increased with her velocity as she trudged to the shorter girl. Making a hack swing, Ashurii seen her opening and took it, like an infant takes a dummy, with rush.
Ducking under the swing, Ashurii did a jump in mid air, until she was eye level with Shinata, and kicked downward on her right hand, knocking her own sword out of her grasp and clinging to the ground four feet away, as Ashurii hopped off with ease.
"Takisa Shinata, minus two points for dropping her sword." was heard off somewhere behind them, but they didnt care.
What surprised her most was when Shinata came at her with her own fists, she was fast! She would punch here, jab there, combination of lefts and rights, high kicks, stomps, it was impressive! But it wasnt hopeless.
Just as Shinata was getting fed up with her movements, just in time of every one of her own she began again.
"So, you are just like your mother, full of spite, and thats what got her ki-" The next thing you knew, Shinata gave a grunt and followed up with a curse word, as she ran back to Lady Masacre and picked it up, all in the blink of an eye.
"How would you like to feel pain like your mother did, to die before your blade ever gashes out your throat, at your arteries, into your life line, how does it feel to know this blade killed your mother, and is about to kill you aswell " Shinata almost song-sung into Ashurii's ear, just as she was pulled away by the captain.
"Winner by default, Hasegawa Ashurii" Ashurii wasnt even paying attention that she had won the match, by default or not, but was rather raching at Shinata, this was not over, not by a long shot.
I knew where Lady Masacre had come from, where it had been, how many souls it had taken, and most importantly who it killed, but I could never let of it this rusty old thing.
Ashurii held up her sword toward the sun, where it had started to shine down around her, glistening at the touch of light on her sword.
Then a bang, clatter and shouts were heard from the village below, as the town was filled with nothing but smoke, wild fires and worst of all, children screaming for there parents.
