An Inuyasha Story

Chapter 5: Leggo my Banana!

“Oh where, oh where has my Banayasha gone? Oh where, oh where could she be?” Shippo had been reciting this same song ever since Inuyasha's banana went missing. Everyone in the group—including Banayasha's mother—were growing quite annoyed with it.

“SHIPPO!” Yelled Inuyasha, red in the face from all the crying he had been doing. “Will you shut up?”

“Yes, Shippo,” began the monk, “That really is not helping our situation.”

“Yeah, runt,” began Kouga, “First we've got the mutt's whining, then we've got the distant sounds of screaming from somewhere in the forest. And then there's you and your hollering.”

“Singing.” Shippo corrected him.

“If you say so.” Kouga said, waving his hand, then returned to his former position next to Kagome.

Shippo was very hurt that no one appreciated his singing which he thought was wonderful. `She lied to me,' he thought, `she told me that she liked it and that it was good.' He looked at Kilala, glaring at the adorable two-tail.

Kilala noticed him doing so and jumped from her perch on Sango's shoulder. She pranced over to Shippo and proceeded to walk next to him.

Shippo, pouted, “You liar! You told me that my singing was good.”

Kilala tilted her head and blinked her big eyes at him, then mewled, “I did?”

“Yes, you did!”

“Oh, well then. I suppose that I did lie.” And with that, she jumped back onto Sango's shoulder.

Hearing Kilala's confession caused Shippo to become so overcome with emotion that he just had to leave.

Kouga noticed Shippo's retreat and sighed, “That's a relief.”

Kagome glared at him, causing his eyes to go wide, “You jerk! SIT BOY!”

BAM! Inuyasha went face down in the dirt—making a large hole that was the exact shape of his body. “Oops…” Kagome began, “I forgot, that only works on Inuyasha.”

Kouga burst with laughter at the sight of Inuyasha's 10 foot hole. “HA, do it again, Kagome.”

(Forest Clearing)

Shippo sat on a stump in a small forest clearing, tears streaming down his flushed cheeks. “Nobody, not even Kagome and Sango, likes my singing. I bet that they're all making fun of me right now. Saying things like, `Shippo's so stupid' or `we hate that dumb fox'.” He stopped to think about that for a minute. “Oh, nobody ever even calls me a fox. And that's what I am!”

He soon heard a cry coming from somewhere close by. “Please don't make me! I don't even like bananas!”

“Banayasha!” Shippo said with excitement. “If I save her, then everyone will like me!” His mind was made up as he ran in the direction that the cry had come from.

(Back with the group)

Inuyasha had made it out of his hole successfully, much to the bore of Kouga who still wished Kagome would say `sit'. He made various attempts to get her to say it, but none of them worked.

After walking some more, they decided to sit and have a bite to eat. So, Kagome cooked and they all waited, patiently.

“Are you almost done with that, Kagome? I'm starving.” Miroku asked as his stomach growled.

“Yeah, I'm hungry too.” Said Inuyasha between sobs, for he still was not over his missing banana.

“Will you give the woman a break?” Yelled Kouga.

Kagome was relieved that someone was standing up for her, but was still upset about Inuyasha spending all of his time thinking about that stupid banana. `First the chicken leg, and now the banana.' She thought with a sigh. `What's next?'

(Forest clearing)

Rin had recently been attempting to shove the already peeled Banayasha into Jakken's mouth. And every time she failed, she would hit him with her wooden shoe and say, “Bad toad!” Then she would try again.

“I don't want it!” Jakken protested.

“I don't care if you don't want it!” Yelled Rin. “You will eat it!” Then she hit him hard with the shoe causing his mouth to fall open. She quickly shoved the banana into his mouth and forced it closed.

Shippo arrived just in time to see the banana inside Jakken's mouth and cried, “NOOOOOO!” `I'm too late. Now they'll never like me.'

Rin turned to face Shippo her eyes went wide. “Dang it! Now I have to kill you, too.” She ran after Shippo whose arms were up in the air as he ran and screamed for help.

“Get back here you dumb badger!” Yelled Rin as she chased him.

“No!” Shippo yelled. “You killed Banayasha, and now, when I tell Inuyasha what you did to her, he's gonna kill you!”

Rin was really fast for a little Human girl. She tackled Shippo to the ground and dragged him back to her clearing. Then proceeded to tie him to the tree next to Jakken's. Then, she picked up her wooden shoe and smacked him in the head repeatedly, saying, “Bad Badger. BAD BADGER! BAD BADGER!!!”
