Sneakers
Some modern inventions are not necessarily helpful to those in the feudal era. This Kagome found out the hard way when one day she brought Inuyasha a pair of Adidas sneakers.
"They will help protect your feet," she told him. But no one took account for the laces.
Alas, no sooner than fifteen minutes had passed trialing the sneakers when the laces untangled and Inuyasha, running at roughly sixty-five miles per hour, found himself plummeting to the ground in an uncontrolled slam. Kagome was not so lucky. Instead, when her transport stopped she found herself vaulted forward like a putty shot to land, by fortune of the gods, in a river. A rushing, raging river leading over a waterfall.
"Inuyasha!" she cried out miserably.
Five minutes later Inuyasha sat beside a bedraggled Kagome, whom huddled miserably over a drying fire.
"Why the hell did you sit me Kagome?" Inuyasha muttered sensing nothing amiss with the inventions. The fall had been too swift for him to tell the difference.
"Oh, nothing at all!" mumbled Kagome waving nervously. "You know what Inuyasha, I think these really aren't for you." Tearing the sneakers off the hanyou, she tossed them into the wayside. Needless to say, she never tried to put shoes on Inuyasha again.
