Taco-chan: Hello everyone! I just woke up on the morning after I posted my first chapter and I decided to start typing chapter 2 of my story! Isn't that great? I'm gonna try to post as often as I physically can… I feel kind of hyper right now…so you better be careful…I get dangerous when I'm hyper.
If you want to look at the summary, go back to the first chapter. I'm too lazy to type it again or copy and paste.
Disclaimer: You actually think that I own Danny Phantom or Inuyasha? Awwwww! That's so sweet!
Note: I realize that the stars didn't really show up during the phone convos. My bad!

Chapter 2: Preparation in Amity Park
((A/n Why do all my titles suck?))
Samantha Manson was currently sitting in the Nasty Burger with her two best friends, Danny Fenton and Tucker Foley. Sam was staring at her brand new, black, shiny Razar ((A/n did I get that right?)), begging it to start ringing, Danny was shoving food (which consisted of burgers, fries, and ice cream from the Nasty Burger, and a salad that Sam had brought for herself that he ate anyway) into his mouth like he hadn't eaten in weeks, and Tucker was trying to get a girl to go out with him. In other words, Tucker was the only one acting normal at the time being. Huh…wonder why?
"Hey, Danny! Why are you eating so much? Your food's not gonna get up and walk away. Why not slow down and actually taste it?" Tucker asked, walking away from Betty Johnson, a girl in his geometry class, who had once again refused to go out with him. Only now he was adorned with coke, spilled all over the top of his head. Wonder how that got there?
"I –shove- need –shove- to –shove- have –shove- energy –swallow-! But what about Sam? Ever since that dumb Kah-Goh-Mae called a while ago, all she's done is stare at her cell. I'm starting to get a little worried. She doesn't even answer to you getting Coke spilled over your head!" Danny said to Tucker, with a worried glance towards Sam.
"Kagome isn't dumb…but she will deadbe if she doesn't call me back soon!" Sam yelled. Suddenly Breaking the Habit by Linkin Park filled the room. "About goddamn time she called." ((A/n Kagome: bold Sam: regular))
"About goddamn time you called!"
"Well, sorry! Inuyasha had to think about it and then we had to call my mom and go talk to the others and…"
"I don't care about that! Can you come over and visit me or not?"
"Yes! And for 2 whole weeks, too! I'm sooooo happy!"
"Cool! There's so much to do! I have to buy you plane tickets and get Mr. Lancer to let you and Inu-chan come to school with me and get you some new clothes since you won't wanna wear that uniform while you're here and fill Danny and Tucker in about you and Inu-chan and get Inu-chan some new clothes cause he can't wear that haori and hakamas forever and…" ((A/n a little OOC-ness there on Sam's part. I'm expressing my own hyperness through them…))
"I got it! There's a lot to do!"
"When do you want to come over here?"
"Next week?"
"Okay, but your plane tickets might not be first class…"
"I think we'll live."
"Okay! See you next week!"
"Later!"
"Bye!"
Sam hung up and half pulled, half dragged Danny and Tucker out of the Nasty Burger and to her house. Well, halfway to her house, anyway. It was on the one side of Amity Park where all the rich people live, and the Nasty Burger was dowtown, where Danny and Tucker lived.
"God…-pant-…how much do you guys…-gasp for breath-…weigh?" Sam gasped, letting go of their shirts and trying to catch her breath. "It's usually easy to pull you guys across town. Danny, you weigh about 20 pounds more than usual, and Tucker…Why do you have sticky stuff all the way down your back?"
"You just noticed that?" Tucker and Danny asked at the same time.
"Wow…you really were out of it." Danny said.
"I DON'T CARE!" Sam yelled.
"Can you at least tell us what's going on?"
"When we get to my house, yes." Sam replied, finally calming down.
"Then what are we waiting for? Come on!" Danny exclaimed, grabbing Sam's hand (causing her to blush, but Danny's too much of an airhead to notice) and pulling her into Inndale Drive, her street.
"So…mind telling us all about this Kah-Goh-Mae?" Tucker asked once they were safe and sound in Sam's room with the door locked.
Sam sighed. "This is gonna take a long time, but…sure." Sam walked over to her dresser and pulled out a large binder full of paper. On the front it said 'Kagome's letters' in big, blue letters. "Three years ago, my parents thought it would be fun to torture me with a penpal. It never really did torture me, though. My penpal was Kagome, a Japanese girl who lived in Tokyo." Sam pulled out the first piece of paper.
Date: November 3rd, 2002.
Hello, Samantha-
My name is Kagome Higurashi. I am 13 years old. I live with my mommy, daddy, younger brother, and grandpa in a shrine in Tokyo, Japan.
That's all my teacher said we were supposed to write, along with a "Please write back to me very soon!" God, I hate her. This is my homework assignment. Do you hate your teachers, too? Have they ever made you have a penpal? Why are you my penpal, anyway? Either your parents or your teachers made you get one. Doesn't that suck?
Anyway, I'll tell you about myself. I have midnight black hair that goes to the middle of my back, along with blue/gray eyes. I have 4 friends, Hojo, Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka. They're all very nice to me. My mom's name is Ai, My dad's name is Koen, my brother's name is Sota, and my grandpa's name is Xi Wang. Why his name is Chinese I will never know.
Anyway, that's all I can think of now.
Bye!
"Please write back to me very soon!"
Kagome Higurashi
P.S. Teachers suck!
"What about that 'Inu-chan guy?' Who's he? And how does he play into this?" Danny asked.
This is gonna take longer than I thought… "You do know that 'Inu-chan' is just my nickname for him, right…? His real name is Inuyasha, and he's a half demon, who…" she stopped when she noticed the confused looks on their faces. "You know…I think I'll just find the letter Kagome wrote to me about it…" Sam murmured and flipped through the pages. "Where is it, where is it, where is it…Aha! There!" Sam exclaimed, shoving it towards them.
Date: May 27th, 2004
Hi, Sam-
Get ready for the longest letter I've ever written… ((A/n some of this stuff I'm copying word-for-word from my Inuyasha Ani-Manga books…just to let you know…I don't really own this…))
"Replica" this, "authentic" that: Here, everything's got a story. The thousand year old sacred tree. The legend of the hidden well. I've heard these stories all my life…and never believed a word of it. That is, until my fifteenth birthday.
I was leaving for school, and I noticed Sota near the well house. He said the cat went in there. He was too scared to go down there himself, so I did. What a wimp. I screamed when I felt something touch my leg, but it was just Buyo, my stupid, fat cat. Then Sota was saying how "You make fun of me 'cause I'm scared and then you're all AAAHHGH!" And I was in the middle of sayin' this smart ass remark, but then he's like, huh? And then he shouted, "Sis, behind you!" And then there was this bright light from behind me and I felt something grab me and pull me into the well.
I was pulled farther and farther into the well by 6 arms. I turned around to see this woman with no shirt on – ew – and a centipede for the lower half of her body – ewww again – who kept saying 'you have it, don't you? Give it to me!' then I said: "Wh---what are you doing…Let go of me--!" and shot out my hand. This pink light shone on it and hit the centipede. It started screaming and yelling 'I must have it! I must have the scared jewel!' I was all like, "Sacred Jewel?" Then I landed. I thought I must have fallen in the well, but then I turned my head and saw one of the arms that were cut off. Maybe not. I called to Sota and told him to go get Grandpa. He never answered. I thought that he had taken off, so I climbed out of the well on these vines. They weren't there before…
When I climbed over the lip of the well, I saw a bunch of trees. Why wasn't I in the well house? I kept calling out to Sota, Buyo, and the rest of the family. It was like the family shrine wasn't even there! Then I noticed the sacred tree. If I got there, I would practically be home!
When got there, the house wasn't there. But I did see something peculiar. There was a boy! He had long silver hair and ancient red clothing on. Haori and Hakamas, I think they're called. The oddest thing about him was…his ears! They were dog ears! "Hey, there…Watcha doin'?" I called out to him. He didn't answer. He looked like he was asleep. "Oh wow…like dog ears…" I said to myself. "I think I wanna touch em…" So I rubbed them. They were so furry and soft. Then someone yelled out 'get away from there' and six arrows were shot, surrounding him and me.
Next thing I know, I'm tied up and sitting on a straw mat. They kept talking about me like I wasn't there, and I kept thinking, 'What is this? Japan of medieval times?' – that is, until someone shouted, "Make way for the high priestess Kaede!" Then this old hag with a bow in her right hand and an eye patch over her right eye, with her eyes closed and her nose shot up into the air walked over towards me. She reminded me of Nozuni Hiromi, the Paulina Sanchez of my school. You know, acts like a bitch, thinks she's so superior, all the blockheads like her…I'm off subject. Anyway…she walks over to me and I'm like, 'now what.' Then she throws this powder on me that smells like rotting fish and shouts, "DEMON BE GONE!" I said, "Hey! I'm not a demon, okay!" Then she and the other villagers were talking, but I was too busy glaring at this 'Kaede' person to care about what they said. Then she gave me a questionable glance, and I gave her one right back. She said, "Let me have a look at ye." So she grabbed my chin, turns my head to the left and says: "Look, clever girl, or be you a half-wit?" I mentally cracked my knuckles and started prepping to beat the living shit out of her, when she said, "It's there, though I know not why." Me: "It is?" 'What the hell is she talking about now?' ((A/n there's a reason she sounds so pissed…It'll be at the end of the letter…))
That night, Kaede and I were eating stew and talking, when we heard a crash and a scream. We ran out of Kaede's hut, asking what was going on. That stupid centipede was attacking this village. It then noticed me and flew towards me, saying, "GIVE ME THE SACRED JEWEL!" Kaede said, "Sacred jewel? Bear ye it still?" I replied, "I have no idea! I've heard of the sacred jewel, but I…" Then the centipede cut me off by saying, "I MUST HAVE IT!" Or somethin' like that. By that time I realized it was after me. Kaede said to the villagers that they needed to lead it to the dry well. Then I noticed this shining light behind Kaede. I said, "Where is it? Is it where that light's comin' from? I'll lead it away!" I heard Kaede yell for me to wait, but the centipede knocked her and three villagers to the side while comin' after me.
I kept running and running, so fast I thought my freakin' legs would fall off. "Someone will save me…right? Sota? Mama? Grandpa? Somebody…anybody…HELP ME!" I screamed. I ran all the way to the sacred tree, the centipede close behind me. I tripped and tumbled to the tree's roots. "Hello, Kikyo. Playin' with bugs now, are we?" a voice said. I looked up. It was the boy! He just spoke! And his eyes are open now, too! What a nice shade of gold they are…"So, you're alive?" I asked. "Why're you takin' so long to kill it? Just do her like ya did me." He gave me a questioning glance. "Y' look pretty dumb there, Kikyo…the Kikyo I know wouldn't waste time." I was mad. Really mad. 'I'M NOT KIKYO, YOU IDIOT!' "That does it. 'Kikyo,' 'Kikyo,' whoever she is, she's not me, 'cause my name is…" "She's heeere." He interrupted.
I turned to face the ugly stupid thing. It was about to attack, when the villagers came and threw spears with ropes attached to them at it's side and started to pull it away. "So I WAS saved." I said. "You're pathetic, Kikyo-!" The boy said. He was really starting to piss me off… "I'm not Kikyo. Look, I'm telling you, I'm not her. Whoever HER is." I said, in a voice that clearly stated that I was getting' pissed and he should back off. But he didn't care. "An' I'm sayin' you gotta be her, 'cause if you're not…There's no way that you could smell so…" He sniffed me twice. "You're not…her." 'He finally gets it!' "I know. I'm 'Kagome.' Kah-goh-meh." I said. "You're right; Kikyo was cuter. MUCH cuter." 'Grrrr…' "What did you…" I started, But stopped when I felt something grab my shoulders. I screamed. 4 arms were pulling me. I grabbed the boy's hair so I wouldn't go flying and yelled, "Leggo' a me!" "Oww! - Oww! – OWW! You let go!" The boy screamed.
"Give me the sacred jewel!" When it said that, the boy's face turned serious and he said, "Sacred jewel?" The centipede then opened its mouth, revealing two large fangs. "STOP IT!" I yelled. I threw out my hand and that strange pink light came out of my hand again. 'Hey – I did that before, too, in the well.' Everyone was staring at me. It felt awkward. 'But…how'd I do it, though…?' Then, this strange pink light started shining from my left side. There was this throbbing near my ribcage. 'Now what's happening?'
Okay…this is getting way too long, so I'll shorten it up. The centipede attacked me, the Shikon jewel came out of me, the centipede swallowed it, tried to crush me and the boy, and I released the arrow that was pinning the boy to the tree. He killed the centipede demon, I found out the boy's name was Inuyasha and that he was half demon (his mother was human, his father a demon), he tried to kill me, but Kaede put a subduing necklace on him. Now whenever I say "sit," he goes crashing into the ground. It's hilarious.
Then this crow stole the jewel. I shot an arrow at it, the arrow hit the jewel, and now it's shattered into a million different pieces. Now I have to travel with Inuyasha all over Feudal Japan.
Your penpal,
Kagome
P.S. The strangest thing is, it's all true! Scary!
P.P.S. Sorry if I sound kinda pissed, I have to find a way to get my bike to Feudal Japan.
((A/n sorry if the end seems kind of rushed; it was getting too long in my opinion…))
"Oh, so this Inuyasha's like Danny- you know, half and half." Tucker said.
"Sorta," Sam said, "but Inuyasha's been like this all his life. And, he doesn't have a 'human' side and a 'demon' side; they're just kinda…combined into one whole person. Plus, on the night of the new moon, he turns human. And, there are all these other things, like…if he doesn't have Tetsusaiga, his sword, at his side; he could go all demon…and that's bad…the list goes on and on and on…but Kagome said he's actually a real softie once you get to know him."
"Gotcha…" Danny and Tucker said at the same time.
"You have no idea what I'm talking about," Sam said flatly.
"Nope."
"Not a clue."
"Look, long story short – Kag-chan fell down a well on her 15th birthday, it transported her to Feudal Japan, she broke the Shikon Jewel, and now she has to travel in between the two worlds. I'm the only person outside her family in this era that knows." Sam explained.
"You know what? I think I finally get it!" Danny exclaimed.
"THANK YOU GOD!" Sam praised.
"Me too!" Tucker said.
"YES! Now, if you'll get the hell outta my room, I can buy Kag-chan and Inu-chan's plane tickets!" Sam said, pushing Tucker and Danny out the door.
Taco-chan: Yes! I'm finished! This last week has been hell! Sorry I couldn't update so fast!
Inuyasha: Why the hell wasn't I in this chapter?
Taco-chan: Because you weren't.
Kagome: Whatever. Anyways, Taco-chan wanted me to give you a preview of a story! It's called, Hanyou Boy by KausBorealis and it's really good! It has 336 words, it's a one-shot, and it goes to the tune of Avril Lavinge's song Sk8ter Boy. It's about the love triangle of me, Inuyasha, and Kikyo! And if you don't really like it, and you review, please say it in a nice way. Most of her reviewers when I first read it were really mean to her, saying she was dumb and stupid. And if you are really mean about it, Taco-chan will log on as her sister and flame all the mean people again. She did last time!
Taco-chan: Sorry that I forgot about it last chappie, KausBorealis!
Inuyasha: Review or else I'll use my Wind Scar on you and you will go to hell!
