InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Bits From The Big Yellow Bag ❯ First and Foremost ( Chapter 24 )

First and Foremost

 

A/N: In a bit of a departure from my normal fare, I bring to you something fun - the piece that won "least cliché" in the second of four "Cliché Contests" at the LiveJournal Contest Community "FirstTweak." This theme was `Test Time.'

 

 

“Blue.”

 

“Sky.”

 

“Uhh… Bird.”

 

“Bitchy youkai princess.”

 

“This is supposed to be a one-word thing, InuYasha.”

 

“Keh.”

 

“Ah, there's one! Keh.”

 

“Keh?”

 

Miroku sighed. “Never mind. White.”

 

“Cloud.”

 

“Green.”

 

“Skirt.”

 

Miroku made an interested sound, mulling that over before moving on. “Red.”

 

“Blood.”

 

“Bow.”

 

“Arrow.”

 

“Arrow.”

 

“Tree.”

 

“Sit,” Miroku snickered.

 

“Screw you,” InuYasha retorted.

 

Miroku forced a sober look on his face. “Ehh… jewel.”

 

“Naraku.”

 

“Hm, really.”

 

“Yes, really. This is a dumb game.”

 

“This is enlightening. Let us continue. Well.”

 

“Break it.”

 

“Death.”

 

“Beat it.”

 

“One word answers, InuYasha. Priestess.”

 

“Kaede.”

 

Miroku sat up suddenly. “Wait, Kaede?”

 

“Yeah, the hag.”

 

“You're supposed to answer either Kagome or Kikyou. This is supposed to be a way to determine who's number one on your mind.”

 

“She's right the fuck there, monk,” InuYasha said, pointing at the woman now looking at them, one eyebrow raised. InuYasha inclined his chin a bit; Miroku waved cheerfully.

 

“Want to keep going?”

 

“No, your words suck. That didn't clarify anything at all.”

 

Casting back over InuYasha's answers, Miroku was silently forced to disagree.
