Chapter 8: Doggy Advice

 

"Inuyasha! Sesshoumaru wants to know if…you… What are you doing?"

 

"Shut up and leave. I'm busy right now."

 

"Sure, as soon as you tell me why you're digging up your room."

 

Inuyasha glared at Kagome aggravatingly. "Ha ha, very funny."

 

"That's what I live for. Teasing you about your doggy-like habits is my life's purpose."

 

"Go away wench. I don't feel like messing with you right now. I'm looking for something."

 

"I doubt you'll find it in that pigsty you call your dog pile. Anyway, Sesshoumaru wants his CDs back. Apparently, Rin wants to borrow them and it seems that you stole them from him."

 

"What the fuck do you think I'm looking for?! He's been threatening me to whack something off with Tokijin, and since Tetsusaiga won't let me attack him when he's got Tenseiga, I pretty much gotta find those CDs."

 

"It's your own fault, baka. Anyway, Shippou wanted to ask a favor of you."

 

"What does the runt want?"

 

"Don't know. You gotta ask to find out."

 

"Lotta help you are, wench. Tell those two they can kiss my ass `cause I'm so fucking tired of being asked of stuff."

 

"Oh, and Inuyasha?"

 

"What now, bitch?!"

 

"Roll over!" Inuyasha threw a shoe at her but she ducked into the hallway. She stuck her head in the doorway and blew a raspberry before laughing her way maniacally back to her room.

 

"Damn wench!" he muttered under his breath. `I'll get her back one day for all those wise cracks! Then let's see who'll being playing dead. Where the hell are those CDs?!'

 

--------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------

"Oi, houshi! Do you know where Sesshoumaru's CDs are? I can't find them at home and I think I let one of you borrow them by mistake."

 

"Sorry, Inuyasha. I have not seen of any CDs of Sesshoumaru. Maybe Shippou might know where they are."

 

"Speaking of the runt, have you seen him? Wench said he wanted to ask me a favor."

 

Miroku was held back in surprise. "Ask you? A favor? Shippou? This is most interesting. Maybe I should help you find the young lad."

 

"Uh, maybe not, lecher. You'll just probably screw his brain up even further with more of your perverted schemes. I can find the runt without your disgusting thoughts slowing me down."

 

"That hurts me so, Inuyasha."

 

"Ask me if I care."

 

"Do you care, Inuyasha, that you guys hurt me so much with your cruel words?"

 

"Fuck no. See ya later."

 

Inuyasha began following Shippou's scent in the school yard, hoping to find Shippou before it was too late to eat lunch. He was half-way across the lunch area when someone suddenly clung onto his right arm. He nearly gagged when he turned to look at the person.

 

"What the fuck do you want?"

 

"Oh, Inuyasha, don't be like that. I've been away from you too long, that is, if you are you this time."

 

"Fuck off, whore. I don't associate myself with whores, sluts, prostitutes, homos, or lesbians."

 

Kikyou's grip on his arm slackened and he snatched it away from her. "What do you mean by that, Inuyasha?"

 

"You know what I'm talking about, you damn fucking hermaphrodite. Kagura told me about you trying to grab her ass while you two were kissing. You're even more disgusting than I thought."

 

"That hurts. I'm not disgusting, unless you want me to be naughty for you, Inu."

 

"Don't make me hurl! Why don't you and Kagura find a nice sewer to make out in? I'm pretty sure she can throw up all her insides then."

 

Kikyou turned in a mad huff as she went in search for Kagura to tell her off.

 

Inuyasha continued in search for the kitsune and oddly enough, when he found Shippou, he was sitting up in a tree away from everybody.

 

"Hey, runt! You up there?"

 

Shippou poked his head out from the leaves. "Inuyasha, what are you doing here?"

 

"That's what I liked to know. The wench said you wanted to see me."

 

"Oh …yeah. I wanted to ask you something." Shippou pulled his head back in the coverage of the leaves as his face darkened.

 

"Well? Spit it out already! Ain't got all day, you know."

 

Shippou hesitated before speaking. "It's…embarrassing."

 

Inuyasha sighed in disgust. "Look, kid, unless you want me to change my mind and leave, say what you're gonna say so I can go eat."

 

Shippou mumbled something to Inuyasha, but even with his acute hearing he couldn't understand his words. He jumped up in the tree as well and sat on the limb that Shippou was at the moment digging his claws in.

 

"I want some advice."

 

"What kind of advice?" Inuyasha asked suspiciously.

 

"Advice…on girls."

 

Inuyasha nearly fell off his perch in shock. "What the hell are you asking me for?!"

 

"Because Miroku's a perv, Sesshoumaru won't tell me anything, and Kouga is too busy drooling over Kagome to even pay attention to anyone, well, besides her. You're the only one I can trust to talk to since the girls will probably ask me who she is." Shippou looked up with pleading, emerald green eyes.

 

"Look, all I can tell you is this. Girls are sneaky, little wenches that deceive you the moment you turn around and some of them are even whores that like to throw themselves at other guys just to make them sick. There are also those that try to put on a sweet act when they're actually pure evil on the inside, wishing to wipe out every single decent thought that comes across their target's mind. They're little, nasty bitches that can't keep their mouths shut without them being hot-glued and bolted together to stop the useless nonsense that escapes their mouths every five fucking seconds that it takes to…"

 

"Okay, Inuyasha! That's not the type of advice I was talking about. Besides, you only say that because you don't like Kagome."

 

"You said you wanted advice on girls, and I gave you my opinion. Now, if you don't mind, I've done my good deed for the day." Inuyasha was ready to leap off the branch when he sensed the waves of sadness coming from the kitsune. "What about girls is it you want to know?"

 

Shippou brightened up suddenly but still blushed. "I wanna know…how do you get a girl to notice you?"

 

"What do you mean, notice?"

 

"How do you get a girl to know you exist without making a complete fool out of yourself?"

 

"Depends. What's she like?"

 

"I don't know much about her except that she's sometimes simple-minded. She's in some of my classes and is really nice. She's elegant and smart and pretty and really energetic, despite her appearance."

 

"Do I know her?"

 

Shippou nodded. "Yeah, kinda."

 

"Wait, you're not talking about the wench, are you?"

 

"No! Kagome's my friend; I could never think of her like that! The girl I'm talking about moved here a few weeks ago."

 

"So you're saying she never pays attention to you?"

 

"No, it's not that. She's talked to me plenty of times. It's just … I don't know how to get her to actually notice me, if you know what I mean."

 

"No, I don't."

 

"You really are thick-skulled, aren't you?"

 

"Do you want your advice or not?!"

 

Shippou sighed. "What I mean is …I want to show her how I feel without her actually knowing exactly what my intentions are."

 

"So basically, you want her to take an interest in you without it blowing up in your face?" Shippou nodded. Inuyasha pondered for a moment. "I don't know. Take her out somewhere or show her a good time."

 

"On a date?"

 

"I didn't say date, brat. I meant make her happy. That's always worked with me."

 

"You've gone out on a date before, Inuyasha?"

 

"Not exactly a date, to say… Hey, wait a minute! That's none of your business, sneaky, little runt! I'm saying make her happy. If you make her happy, then she'll start to like you."

 

"But how do I make her happy without taking too much notice?"

 

"I don't know. Invite her to come with you while you're hanging out with friends. Most likely, she'll think you're just asking her to come as a friend, nothing more. Start hanging out with her and maybe she'll start to return the feelings. Like I said, I ain't much of an advisor when it comes to this kinda stuff. Of course, if she turns you down, then I could help with plotting revenge on her for you, that is, for a price."

 

Shippou waved his hands in the air. "No, no, that's okay. I think I can handle it from here."

 

"Keh! Why are you asking, anyway? You've gone out with Souten before; you shouldn't have any problems with stuff like this."

 

"I know, but she's different. She's…special."

 

"Keh, whatever. Look, runt, you've already wasted half of my lunchtime. I ain't got any more time to be spending with a love-sick kit. Later."

 

"Thanks, Inuyasha. I owe you…"

 

"…Big time," he mumbled as he leapt from the tree.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------

"Say, Inuyasha, Shippou's told me about the favor you did for him. So, how did someone like you manage to give him advice about girls?"

 

Kouga sputtered out the rice he was eating on Ginta. Hakkaku began to laugh uncontrollably as he pointed at the look on Ginta's rice-covered face. "Dog-shit gave Shippou advice? On girls?! Since when did the world come to an end, mutt-face, in which you know squat about the females?"

 

"Shut it, dirt for brains. I ain't gotta tell you nothin'. Especially about what I do in my life."

 

"Say that to my face!"

 

"I just did, so are you that stupid?"

 

"At least I actually wash, dog-turd!"

 

Sparks started flying from the two canines as Sango walked by seeing all the fuss.

 

"What's going on here?"

 

"A miracle has just happened," Miroku stated.

 

"A miracle?"

 

"It seems little brother was asked of him for advice on the female of this era."

 

"What?!"

 

Miroku chuckled. "Amazing, is it not? Inuyasha would be the last person anyone would think to ask advice for, let alone about girls."

 

"Who asked him?"

 

"Shippou."

 

"Shippou? So he has a crush on a girl? That is so cute. I'll go tell the others."

 

"Wait, Sango. Don't tell them. Shippou said he didn't want to talk about it to you and the others. In fact, Miroku should've kept his damn mouth closed `cause no one else was to know." Inuyasha glared at the monk that was putting on an innocent act.

 

"I meant no harm to the young kitsune. I just only stated what was fact in my mind. Please forgive me if I caused any interruptions."

 

"Houshi-sama, quit the act. You're only said that because you just wanted to embarrass both of them."

 

"Sango, that hurts so much. Can you not believe that I would never wish something bad on you and others?"

 

"No, I can't, but I can make Hiraikotsu do more than just wound you." Sango walked away to the girls' table and sat down.

 

Miroku sighed in defeat. "So, Inuyasha. Did Shippou say who he wanted advice for?"

 

Inuyasha sat back down. "No, he just gave me a description of her. He said it was someone I knew, but there's an ass-load of girls here that I know, so I don't know exactly who he was talking about."

 

"Did he tell you anything else about her?"

 

"Just the usual. Nice, smart, simple-minded sometimes…"

 

"That still leaves so many people."

 

"Oh, yeah! He also said she just moved here a few weeks ago."

 

"Really? Then I might know who she is then."

 

"Of course. Who else would he be talking about?" Kouga asked as he came to realization as well.

 

Inuyasha looked at the two. "Wait, you know who she is? Tell me."

 

"Boy, Inuyasha, you really are thick-headed. Isn't it obvious?"

 

"Shut up, shit for brains! Just tell me and maybe I won't have to bring out Tetsusaiga on you."

 

"Oh, wow," Kouga said sarcastically. "You're gonna bring that twinkie out on me? Oh, please don't. Don't hurt me with the toothpick!" Kouga snickered.

 

"You're asking for it!" Inuyasha threatened.

 

"Calm down Inuyasha before your already empty head deteriorates off of your shoulders with all the hot air," Sesshoumaru said as he set down his chopsticks on his rice bowl. "I wouldn't want Izayoi to miss her half-breed son, especially since it upsets Father so much to see her sad."

 

"You both want a taste of Tetsusaiga steaming up your asses?"

 

"I'd like to see you try, little brother."

 

"Now, now, calm down you three. The bell's ringing. You can finish this during gym while you spar."

 

"Keh!" Inuyasha said as he threw his stuff in the trash. "That's if they make it to gym."

 

--------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------

"Kudo-sensei, I've arrived."

 

"Ah, Higurashi-san. So nice to see you. I see you've come for your weekly training. Would you like to cleanse yourself before we begin?"

 

"I'll just do some meditating instead. Domo anyways."

 

"So be it. Call me when you have readied."

 

Kagome nodded as she walked to a small, empty room and lit the candles. She sat on a small pillow as she began her prayers before beginning her mind training. She focused all of her energy, calming the rage and negative energy throughout her. This was quite necessary before her training, to rid herself of every negative thought, so that her being would be ready for the tasks she were to perform.

 

She took about five minutes before relaxing and blowing the candles and getting up.

 

"So this is what you do when you're here? Just sit around sleeping?"

 

Kagome looked back, hearing the voice of the guy that she did not like very much.

 

"No, it's called meditating, half-wit. Do it sometime; maybe you'll actually form a thought, maybe."

 

"I know what it's called, wench. Can't take a joke, can you?" Inuyasha knew what she was doing. She was manipulating her energy so that it would sway to one part of the area around her. He could tell this because of her energy swarming around her, almost like a barrier against the evil of others.

 

"Yeah, I can, but you just made the whole statement lose its humor with your stupidity. What are you doing here anyway?"

 

"Keh! Not like I want to be. Mom said for me to come with you so that I could help you check if the shrine's in order and everything. Hurry up `cause I don't wanna waste my day watching you do nothing but sit around on your ass."

 

Kagome glared at him. "Well, if you ain't gonna wait, go ahead and leave. I can look after the shrine without your help."

 

"Keh! Like a pathetic human like you can do anything!"

 

"This pathetic human knows how to purify your butt, so watch it."

 

Inuyasha muttered another Keh and left the room to wait as she finished putting out the rest of the candles.

 

Kagome walked out as well and called for her sensei. When the teacher came, Inuyasha noticed that she was one of her grandmother's friends.

 

Kudo-sensei saw him as well and smiled. "Greeting, Kanashii-san. How is your grandmother?"

 

"She's fine. She ain't going anywhere for a while."

 

"I see. Are you here waiting for Kagome?"

 

"Not really. Why would I?"

 

"Same as always, eh, you two? Well, Kanashii-san, would you care to help if it's not too much trouble? This old woman is becoming slower in her days and maybe you could help with young Higurashi-san's training so as to hurry it up if you must go somewhere."

 

"See this wench fall on her ass as she tries to do a few measly tricks? Keh, sounds amusing to me."

 

Kudo-sensei grinned vaguely. "She is not as weak as she seems. Maybe she would be of some competition to you. You take karate, do you not?"

 

"Sometimes."

 

"Well, then maybe later you could stop by for a sparring match with her, see how you two match up in skill."

 

"Hardly seems fair, but whatever."

 

"Now, enough of this talk. Let's begin."

 

Kudo-sensei walked towards the back and through a door to a small garden outside. By the doorway were a bow and a quiver of arrows.

 

"You're gonna throw around some measly sticks? That's boring."

 

"Watch and learn, idiot."

 

Kagome picked up the bow and quiver and walked over to the field where the targets were. She notched an arrow and took careful aim. She let fly the arrow and it landed on the target, but not exactly on the bull's-eye.

 

"Dang it! I missed."

 

`She calls that missed? If I tried, it would've landed in a tree.'

 

Kagome notched another arrow and aimed with more precision. She released it and it landed directly on the red. "Yes!" She did it three more times just for practice and all of them landed in the red.

 

Kudo-sensei clapped. "Very good warm-up, Higurashi-san. Now, for moving targets."

 

"Keh, not bad, wench, but what are you gonna do with the sticks? Threaten to shoot your enemies as you ask them nicely to stand still so you can hit them on mark?"

 

"Shut up, baka. Why don't you try to shoot?"

 

Inuyasha snorted. "Please, I don't play with measly sticks. Swords are my thing."

 

Kudo-sensei smiled slightly and grabbed a bag from the side of the building. She handed it to Inuyasha. "Here you go, Kanashii-san."

 

Inuyasha looked at her confused. "Whatcha give me these for?"

 

"You said you would like to help, so there is your task."

 

Inuyasha opened the bag and saw small cushion-like bags. "What are these?"

 

"They're the targets in which you throw. Higurashi-san has to try to shoot them."

 

Inuyasha just shrugged and grabbed a few. "Let's see you hit these, pathetic wench."

 

"Just watch me," Kagome said as she readied an arrow.

 

Inuyasha threw it into the air fairly high and Kagome let fly the arrow. The arrow barely scratched the material before it fell back in his hand. "What's wrong, wench? Can't hit the mark this time?"

 

"Shut up!"

 

"Higurashi-san, don't let him distract you. Focus on the target. Concentrate your energy and transfer it to your weapon. Use not your eyes, but your soul to sense the movements. Strike when your senses tell you to."

 

"Yes, sensei." Kagome took a deep breath before notching another arrow. Inuyasha threw the same bag and as it fell, Kagome quieted her soul before letting lose the arrow. The arrow was surrounded in a small burst of energy and struck through to its target, dispersing it into dust.

 

Inuyasha carefully schooled his features as he readied the next one. "Lucky shot," he mumbled.

 

He threw up another one and Kagome struck that one on the mark. He tried his luck and threw two at a time. Kagome shot only one arrow, but since one of the bags were pretty close, the energy destroyed the second as well. Inuyasha decided to test her speed as he began throwing the bags forward instead of up. She caught on pretty quickly and shot down every single one, except for the first one.

 

Inuyasha growled when the bag went empty. "Guess you are useful for something, wench. I'll let you know when I need someone to shoot an apple off my head."

 

"Baka, you don't appreciate anything, do you?"

 

"Yeah, when you shut up for once. Then I'll tell you that I appreciate something."

 

"You're still such a baka."

 

Kudo-sensei began shaking her head. "You two young ones never change, do you?"

 

Inuyasha crossed his arms. "No, are we supposed to?"

 

"I suppose you do not have to, but it would be nice. Now, Higurashi-san, I believe that is all the time I have for today. Perhaps later in the week, you could come by for some jujitsu practice. And maybe perhaps Kanashii-san would like to come and spar with you?"

 

"Keh, it'd be too easy for me to beat her butt. Besides, it would be an uneven match. She'd get knocked out in less than ten seconds."

 

Kagome glared at him. "I'd like to see you try. In fact, you probably wouldn't even last a minute with me I bet."

 

"Bring it on. I could beat your butt without even trying."

 

"Don't be so sure of yourself, Kanashii-san. Higurashi-san has become much stronger than what you knew of when you two were little. She has come a long way. Why don't you come next time to trial yourself against her?"

 

"Keh! Be more than happy to show this pathetic human how to fight without trying to throw little sticks around."

 

Kagome bowed before Kudo-sensei before giving Inuyasha a really dirty look. She walked off to change back into her regular clothes from her training jujitsu outfit and came out. Kagome walked off into the street to the shrine.

 

"Oi, wench, where do you think you're going?"

 

"My name's not wench. It's Kagome. You should learn it sometime."

 

"Whatever, wench. Have you seen Sesshoumaru's CDs? I can't find them anywhere."

 

"Shippou told me he let Kouga borrow them. That's all I know. Now buzz off."

 

"WHAT?! Kouga's got them?! When I get my hands on that little brat's neck I'll..."

 

"You better find a way to get them back before Sesshoumaru tears you to pieces. Really, I couldn't care less, but I have to think about poor Izayoi..."

 

Inuyasha had already left, muttering words that were best not heard by human ears. Kagome just shrugged as she continued to the shrine alone.

 

Pretty long chapter, but yeah. Inuyasha...giving advice...on GIRLS?!!! Ha ha...me evil. Listening on a pretty mixed version of Fly Me to the Moon. Pretty good, if the voice wasn't so high and little girl-ish type, but I like the music. 'Kiss me please..." Just kidding but that's what they add in there.
