InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Candid Camera ❯ But it's not my birthday... ( Chapter 2 )

Well, now that I've gotten most of my crazy ramblings out of the way trying to figure out how to start the story, I'm ready to actually well…start the story. Or finish it.

 

I think. Anyway, I apologize for the grammatical errors in the first chapter. I was kinda giddy and didn't bother to proofread. So I'm very sorry about that. And sorry for future errors since I'm positive I won't be checking this one either. I'm a loser like that, and I'm pretty much just making this stuff up as I go along, so bear with me ok?

 

Ok Then!

 

Oh! And thank you for the wonderful reviews! I really appreciate them! *hugs*

 

Disclaimer: Inuyasha is not mine. He never belonged to me. It's not fair…wah. Please don't kill, maim, or sue me. I'm really really poor, and I bruise like a starved gorilla with hemophilia.

 

Chapter 2: But it isn't my birthday…

 

It's a BEAUTIFUL day in Tokyo! The birds are squawking (hacking…same thing). Bees are sputtering out the last buzzes of life. The sky is so grey and cloudy (Smog much?) as big fat Buyo like drops splattered against where there should be luscious green grass. But now there's lovely concrete. So nice and cracked and…oh who the hell am I kidding? It's raining, smoggy, and all around miserable in present day Tokyo. Bah Humbug I say…

 

Kagome quirks an eyebrow from the bottom of the well. That abomination of a back pack looking suspiciously amused (How the hell did it manage that?).

 

“Was that a self insertion Choco?”

 

*Growl* You do realize I could make you Hojo's love slave…

 

*Kagome cowers* “Oh mighty Choco Goddess who doth give life and a Hojoless existence!” *More groveling* “I offer many thanks and lots of chicken of the fried variety. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD! PLEASE DON'T SET ME UP WITH THAT-“

 

Oh shut the front door! You're in luck. I'm feeling benevolent today.

 

Kagome perks up…still at the bottom of the well…and is promptly knocked on her butt by some er “unknown force”. Really. I have no idea who would do such a thing…

 

The fugly…yeah FUGLY rotten banana looking backpack snickered.

 

“And again, pretending I heard nothing!” Kagome nodded resolutely as she pushed herself to her feet, grabbing that yellow monstrosity, and proceeded to climb out of the well without further SUBLIME interference.

“Amen to that” she muttered.

 

*Glare*

 

Moving on…

 

Heading outside was possibly the worse thing to do at the moment since it was raining cats and dogs outside. Well, Buyo's anyway. Which is practically the same thing since he's a cat the looks like he's eaten quite a few dogs in his day.

 

Or a horse.

 

Whatever.

 

But Kagome reasoned she would be better off heading to the house where she could dry off and lose the hideous lemon looking bag that seems to have gained ten pounds for no apparent reason.

 

Imagine that.

 

So, she trudged through the rain and made it to the house in record time. But ended up looking like a drowned rat for her troubles. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

Kicking off her shoes and throwing the creepy Heero Yuy reject sneaker colored backpack out of sight, Kagome proceeded to head towards the stairs. Hoping that no one was home so she could just take a hot shower and sleep her troubles away.

 

`Ah. Wouldn't that be nice' She sighed dreamily. Looking like a drowned rat with a really stupid expression on her face. What a weirdo.

 

Sadly though, that was not meant to be. As she turned into the kitchen (for in my demented little world the stairs are past the kitchen) groping for the light, she was suddenly bombarded with her family standing in front of her with cake and effectively blocking her escape to freedom known as the stairs. All the while wearing stupid grins on their faces.

 

Hm.

 

Must be hereditary…

 

“Surprise!” They all screamed. Souta all but shoving the cake in Kagome's face.

 

Wide eyed, she just stood there for a second. `What the bloody hell is going on here?' she screamed in her head. She would never be so rude as to say that out loud. This was her family for goodness sake. `I have to calm down and try to make my mouth say actual words. That's right Kags. Be cool.'

 

“What the bloody hell is going on here?!?”

 

Oh. Real smooth.

 

Mrs. Higurashi chuckled as she sat gently guided Kagome to chair at the kitchen table, and plopped her into the seat. Then motioned for Souta and Grandpa to do the same. Yeah…the old man's there too. He's just so short you miss him sometimes.

 

“We wanted to do something nice for you dear” Mrs. Higurashi stated “We miss you when you're away. It's nice to have you back sometimes so we can spend some time together.”

 

“Yeah! We even got you a present!” Souta exclaimed.

 

Kagome sputtered. Looking at her family incredulously. “But it's not my birthday”

 

“Oh, who cares!” Grandpa grumped. Shattering his incredible impression of a lawn gnome, “Here ya go! It's a demon spider leg! It cures some kind of thing a ma bob or another. I don't really know for sure. I told your friends you had Ebola by the way”

 

Kagome twitched.

 

“Uh…thanks? I think I'll keep it with all the other `special' things you give me.”

 

In other words…

 

The trash.

 

When he's not looking of course.

 

`Gee what a great present. You shouldn't have…' Can we say sarcasm?

 

“Oh dad!” Mrs. Higurashi laughed at her daughter's scandalous expression, “Go cast out demons or whatever it is you think you do some where ok?” Grandpa grumbled something about kids having no respect and pretty much having a Rodney Dangerfield moment and walked away. Souta, getting bored, ran upstairs to play video games. I mean really? What did he care?

 

Mrs. Higurashi pulled something out of her pocket, and handed it to Kagome.

 

“This is your real present. I hope you enjoy it”

 

Kagome gasped in wonder. `Oh My God! I can't believe it! Mom got me a camera phone!' She smiled. Genuinely grateful…I think.

 

“Oh thank you thank you thank you!” She jumped up and hugged her mom (Oh. She is grateful. Never mind then). Then ran upstairs to her room and started fiddling with the piece of machinery. All excited and girly. It was quite disgusting really. Now she can call all her friends and…wait.

 

“Who the hell am I gonna call while I'm in Sengoku jidai?!?”

 

She groaned. Oh well. At least she had a phone like a normal teenager. It's all nice and small, and compact and pink and….WHAT?!?

 

PINK!?!?

 

`How did I not notice this before? I hate pink!'

 

“Great. Not only can I not call anyone but now it's got to look like a bottle of pepto bismol to boot? So not fair”

 

She sighed and flopped down on her bed.

 

“I guess there's really only one upside to this. It does have a camera. Heh, I could just see Inuyasha's face when I take candid pictures of him. Oh what fun! Oh…eheh. Fun?”

 

Then Kagome got an idea. She got a deliciously evil idea. Kagome got a deliciously evil awful idea complete with Grinchy smirk and maniacal laughter resounding in the background.

 

“Excellent” She whispered. Doing a disturbingly accurate impression of Mr.Burns. It was really quite frightening, but strangely appropriate. Eh.

 

*****

 

Later that night, being showered and in her jammies, Kagome lay in her bed thinking of her evil intentions towards a certain silver haired hanyou who had been breathing down her neck way too much lately for her tastes.

 

“Oh sweet sweet revenge. I can taste ye already.”

 

Ye?

 

*Glare* “Quiet you”

 

Feh.

 

“Speaking of that demon, I wonder how Inuyasha's doing?”

 

****

Back in Sengoku Jidai

 

Still in the hanyou shaped crater…

 

Inuyasha attempted to get up only to …*crack* “GAH!” Hurt himself even more.

 

Whimpering to himself, “Next time, I'll just write her a letter when she wants to leave”

 

**********

And that the end of chapter 2. Hope is was ok. I think I lagged a little bit, but hopefully it didn't suck too much. Anyway, more to come. Plotting Inuyasha's demise and all that. It's hard work.

 

Anyway, I enjoy the reviews. Thanks again for being such nice reviewers!
