Ok peoples, sorry for the long wait! I promise to post the next chapter a lot sooner. Now that school's over I got tons of free time at home, so I'll spend a lot of it writing this! Enjoy the chapter.
Ch. 7
After our encounter with the hair demon we went back to Kaede to treat Inuyasha's wounds and ask some very important questions.
"And then, I grabbed the sword and it started to glow! When it was done it looked like this," I pulled the sword out of its sheath and handed it over to Kaede. She gently took it and surveyed it, 'hmmm'ing a lot. After about a minute she finally handed it back to me.
"I believe that this is a Master's Sword, they are very rare, there are only a few in the world."
"What's so special about it?" I asked, turning it over in my hands, "besides the fact that you can wield it without holding it."
"Well, it's considered to be one of the most powerful swords. Before you purified it with your sealed miko powers its black blade was filled with the blood and killing of those before. You see, to possess the sword you have to kill its current master to prove that you are strong and powerful enough to wield it. For hundreds of years these swords have been fought after. You killed the demon Yura that possessed it, only since you did it unselfishly and without knowledge of the sword were you able to purify it. Your sealed miko powers also played a part though."
I whistled, "So this sword is mine now?"
"Until you are killed, then it will be passed on."
"Well, that's not gonna happen for a long time, so I have nothing to worry about!" I exclaimed happily as I jumped up with my sword in hand.
"Please, I give you a week in this place. You won't last long," Inuyasha scoffed.
"SIT!"
"Ow! Why you-!" I laughed as I ran outside to avoid him.
I spent the rest of the rest of the day experimenting with different ways to control my sword. I also practiced taking my sword in and out of its sheath with touching it. And believe me, its not as easy as it looks.
At the end of the day I lay on my back in the soft grass and fell asleep under the stars. It was so quiet and peaceful. I hadn't felt at peace like this in a long time.
Inuyasha heard annoying voice calling his name over and over again in the darkness. He struggled to open his eyes, a stick appeared in his mouth and his eyes instantly popped open. He looked up to see Kameko's face five inches away staring down at him questioningly.
Inuyasha, who had been sleeping with his hands behind his head in the grass, felt his face go red and jumped up angrily. He spit out the stick in his mouth and started to shout angrily at Kameko.
"What's your problem?! What the heck do you think you're do-" Kameko popped another stick into his mouth. Inuyasha noticed something strange about this stick. It tasted sweet, almost good.
"You like? It's from my era, it's called pocky. My favorite." Kameko pulled out a plastic bag from behind her and placed it in front of her. It was full of little small boxes with colorful pictures and letters adorning them. She reached her hand into the cardboard ocean and reached around until she found what she was looking for. She ripped off the top of the box and pulled out what looked like a round cracker.
"Here try this!" she ordered eagerly as she stuffed it into his mouth, "It's called a cookie, they're sweet too. Oh yeah, and that brown sweet stuff is called chocolate. Where I'm from if a dog eats it it kills them though."
Inuyasha spit the sweet cracker out in shock and stared at her like she was crazy.
"Oh don't worry!" she insured as she waved it off carelessly, "You're not really a dog, so I'm pretty sure you won't die."
"Pretty sure? That's not good enough woman! I'm not risking my life for some sweet cracker!" Inuyasha shouted angrily.
"Oh hush up and eat," she said as she stuck another object into his mouth, "You know you want to..." She called this one a 'twizzler'. It was long and red and bendy. Inuyasha didn't like the taste and spit it out, only to have another sweet stuffed back in. Kameko went on and on, stuffing piece after piece of different type of sweet food into the poor hanyou's mouth, naming them all enthusiastically as she went.
"And this is called Botan Rice Candy, though I'm not too fond of it. Oh yeah, and this one is banana pocky, which is different from the strawberry pocky that I gave you earlier. I love 'em both though. Ooh! Try this! It's Pucca. It tastes just like pocky only it's not a stick and the the sweet stuff is on the inside! Also this-"
Inuyasha was powerless as a whole new world of flavors was stuffed into his mouth in minutes. He was about to shout at her to stop, but then he saw her grinning so wide the whole bag of candy could've fit in her mouth. Inuyasha sighed and waited for it to be over.
Unfortunately candy wasn't the only thing that she had in store for him. Come nightfall she made these noodles called 'Ramen'. She was somehow able to have them done in three minutes. She tooked one cup for herself and handed the other to Inuyasha. He took it hesitantly and brought it up to his nose. He gave a small, cautious sniff. It smelled good! He grabbed the chopsticks and finished his 'Ramen' in less time than it took to cook it.
"Well, I definitely know what was your favorite out of all the things I forced you to try today!" Kameko laughed at she took his empty ramen cup for him.
"I didn't like it that much," Inuyasha scoffed as he turned his head up high away from her. Kameko laughed again.
"Then I guess I'll just go dump the rest of mine. I'm full," she said slyly as she stood up and started to walk away. Inuyasha's ear twitched.
"Alright, alright! I like it! Now gimme!" Inuyasha admitted as he grabbed the ramen out of her hands and gobbled it up ravenously.
Kameko smiled as she sat down. The night was warm and there was a small breeze.
"The stars are a lot brighter here," she commented as she looked up at them in wonder. Inuyasha glanced up from his empty ramen cup, but he didn't see the stars. Instead he saw their reflection in Kameko's wide brown eyes.
Ok, the whole candy thing is what I wanted to have Kagome do to Inuyasha. It would have been so hilarious on the show! If I was kagome then that is the first thing I would have done. But that's because I'm obsessed with food(especially sweets).
