InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Never Was There a Story of More Insanity ❯ The Kendo Match ( Prologue )

Never Was There a Story of More Insanity…

Disclaimer: Ok…I know high-school fics have been done before, but I've never done one, so there you go. Inuyasha and related characters are, of course, creation and copyright of R. Takahashi. The play Romeo and Juliet was written by William Shakespeare back in the Elizabethan era. However, due to the long space of time between then and now, it is now public domain. So sit back, and enjoy the insanity. Oh, and don't forget to review!

Chapter One

"Inuyasha wins the match!" the announcer yelled excitedly. "And the regional kendo championship trophy goes to Fukumaden High School!"

Inuyasha, captain of the Fukumaden kendo team, strode up to the podium to collect the trophy. He cleared his throat, and the crowd leaned in expectantly, awaiting the speech.

"I am proud to accept this award," Inuyasha began. "Blah, blah, blah, long, teary-eyed speech, yada, yada, yada. Quite frankly, the reason we won is because the other teams all suck. See ya."

There was stunned silence, even from Inuyasha's own teammates. This was a new low, even for him. He glanced back at his teammates as he headed for the door.

"You coming?" he growled.

"Yo, hanyou," a voice snarled as Inuyasha walked briskly through the parking lot. All of a sudden, two of the boys he had defeated during the tournament appeared in front of him.

"Out of my way, kids," he barked. They didn't budge.

"We didn't exactly appreciate what you said just now," a third boy said, appearing from behind a car.

"We wanted to see if you felt like apologizing," added a fourth.

Inuyasha glanced around. The losers were coming out of the woodwork. At this rate, he'd have to face down an entire school.

"Back off," the white-haired inu-hanyou warned them. "Don't start something you can't finish."

"Oh, we'll finish all right," growled the largest of the boys. "Finish you!"

"What's a half-breed like you doing on the kendo team anyways?"

"Yeah! Half-breed! Eat this, half-breed!" The boy grabbed a rock, and hurled it straight at Inuyasha's skull.

Yawning, Inuyasha caught the rock between his claws, flipped it into the air, and hurled it back at the boy who threw it…twice as hard. It struck in the stomach, and the racist idiot doubled over.

"GET HIM!" the mob roared as one. They rushed forward to engulf Inuyasha…

Undaunted, the half-demon flipped through the air, slamming his feet down on two skulls. He picked up another of his attackers and swung him around like a baseball bat, sending his opponents flying left and right. Sensing someone approaching from behind, he slammed a foot backward, drawing a satisfying gasp of pain as one of the boys doubled over.

Inuyasha dropped his `bat,' and suddenly fists and feet were flying everywhere. Anyone who got within striking range was summarily dispatched.

And then his kendo sword was out, and the few boys left standing realized they didn't stand a chance. They made a break for it…but every last one of them ended up eating pavement. As he slid the blade back into its sheath, he heard someone approaching from behind.

"A little help would have been appreciated, Miroku," Inuyasha growled without turning around. Miroku made a great show of looking offended-all wasted, as Inuyasha refused to look at him.

"I did help!" the black-haired boy protested. "While you weren't looking I threw my shoe at one of them!"

"Sure you did. Coward."

"I am not a coward!"

"You're just courage-challenged." Inuyasha finished. Miroku sighed.

"Look, why don't we discuss this on the bus. Or do you want to go another round with the Creep Squad here?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, but acquiesced.

"Fine, have it your way," he said, and started walking towards the bus. He glanced back over his shoulder, and smirked smugly at the so-called `Creep Squad-'all groaning in pain on the ground. "See ya!" he sneered.
