A Time to Laugh Ch. 2

Hello all, homework has engulfed me, I had 4 tests to study for yesterday, but sadly I only probably passed 2 of them, I guess I should of studied harder. :( I have 2 essays to finish in two weeks. I have to study for my finals for next week. I have a library book to finish and a whole lot of other homework that makes me want to go on strike, but anyhow I love writing so much and I wouldn't want readers to be kept waiting, so…….(drum roll)….. Here's my 2nd chapter. Enjoy:)

The next morning Inuyasha went off yet again by himself, and said he was going to go retrieve some food for everyone, it was strange that he was so willing to go off by himself without anyone or any help, he just told everyone he was leaving to get some food and with that he was gone, everyone, especially Kagome thought that couldn't be the truth because Kagome had brought some food from her own time and just when Inuyasha had took off, she had started making something for breakfast.

In a way though, Sango in particular was happy that Inuyasha had taken leave, because she had a question to ask Kagome. After everyone had settled down and were eating something foreign yet tasty to them (apart from Kagome who was smiling expectantly at everyone, hoping they liked the food), Sango swallowed a piece of something she didn't know the name of, due to not asking Kagome, but it tasted pretty good and it wasn't like Kagome would risk having her friends eat something that had a high potential of tasting bad or anything, so Sango, after swallowing a second bite of the delicious food expressed her thoughts on something, "Kagome may I ask you something?" Kagome turned to look at Sango, "Yes, sure." "This might sound a little weird, but is Inuyasha ticklish?"

Kagome suddenly blushed a deep crimson and her eyes went downcast, which made everyone stare, Kagome's lips shakily opened up for her voice to travel through, "Uhh… heh heh, well, I haven't tickled him before so I don't really know, why?" Sango held in her giggle which was soon going to leave her lips, "Oh no reason, I just was curious is all…okay, that's not really true, I was thinking of ways to make Inuyasha laugh, to smile, I think it's a pretty good idea, I mean, we can't erase his past and he can't forget it, but we could try to cheer him up a bit, what do you think?" Kagome's face immediately lost its redness and she smiled, "That would be a great idea, Sango, there has got to be something we could do to cheer him up, but what could it be??" Kagome stroked her chin and went into thought. Then suddenly Kagome laid her hands neatly on her green uniform skirt and with an excited expression plastered on her face looked at Sango and said, "Oh, I just got the perfect idea suddenly, don't you worry Sango, I know exactly what to do." Miroku spoke, "Well what is your plan?" Kagome replied, "Let's just say I have a friend, named Minami who loves to tell jokes and owns tons of joke books and might just have the perfect joke for us to borrow that will have Inuyasha laughing his pants off." Kagome suddenly stood up and started putting her sleeping bag, some schoolbooks, and other necessities in her already overly stuffed yellowish cream backpack. Shippo piped up, "Kagome where are you going?" Kagome continued packing her backpack up and replied, "To my own time, I might as well get the joke book now." Everyone didn't really know what this "joke book" was, but Kagome looked so happy, they had a feeling they might spoil her happiness by asking her about this book. Before anything else Kagome slipped her backpack over her shoulders and while running off to her own time, she yelled out, "I'll be back in a flash and if Inuyasha is back with you guys before I am, lie about my whereabouts…………….." They all watched as Kagome's figure got fainter in the distance.

Inuyasha saw her in the clearing, his kind human heart didn't allow him to turn away and leave her alone, he stepped closer quietly without a sound, he had no choice, but to help her, no one else was around and he had never in all his life even in battle seen so much blood, he even felt slightly queasy by the sight of it and wondered why Shippo and Kirara couldn't pick up this strong scent of blood; was he being lured in to another trap, he did not know, but he couldn't turn away, he couldn't avert his eyes, he couldn't find his voice….

Ta-da, the 2nd chapter is finished, thanx for reading.

Things to Know:

I made up this name (Minami); it came to mind while I wrote this chapter…..she isn't in the original manga/anime.

Extra stuff: Who is the girl with the blood, what happened? Why can't Kirara and Shippo pick up the strong scent of blood? Is Inuyasha in trouble?

What jokes does Kagome have in store for Inuyasha?

Stay tuned next time to find out in "A Time to Laugh."

3rd chapter coming soon.

(P.S. I just felt like making up some fancy ending to this episode/chapter, they do it all the time in TV shows, so I felt like making up my own "Trying to tempt viewers in continuing their viewing" deal. :)

L8erz!!
