Tears of Blood

DemonGirl-Setsuna: Hi there! Setsuna here!
(Side-note: I had trouble posting this chapter yesterday!)
I come back from shopping, and find InuYasha passed out on the floor with a ring of chocolate around his mouth. I knew I should have hidden those drugged candy-bars better!
I got like… (Counts the reviews in her head) 16 reviews!
And two of them caught me eye!
Here is one from ‘Dragon Man 180’, it says:
“I'm guessing Sota won't like the movie very much, especially if Kagome
starts acting mushy. I sense a correlation between the prince in the
movie being enchanted into the Beast and the strange events surrounding
Iya.”
Well, I have no clue what ‘Correlation’ means, but I choose the movie at random! It was either ‘Beauty and the Beast’ or ‘The Lion King’!
I also realized I’m not the only one who has problems with the halves of themselves! Hanyous are rare! Especially female hanyous, in the TV series there are a total of 4 hanyous (Not counting Naraku, stupid cheater!), and only one of them is female!
InuYasha: (Waking up and sits up) Uhhh! What happened to me?
Setsuna: You got into the drugged chocolates I made for my two halves, in case using you as bait failed to catch them!
InuYasha: (Nervously laughs) No wonder they tasted funny!
Setsuna: (Rubs temples) Here InuYasha, how about you answer this review for me! (Hands him the paper)
InuYasha: Let’s see! Hey this one is from Chapter 15!
Setsuna: Just read it!
InuYasha: Okay! This one is from, ‘HanyouRiyumi’, it says:
“PLZ UPDATE! I LUV THIS SYORY! I BEG OF U! I HAVE SESSHOMARU CAPTIVE IF U
WANT HIM! JUST PLZ UPDATE!
:D”
(Laughs) How did she get her hands on my brother?
Setsuna: Who knows? All I can say is, she can keep him! I have InuYasha here for company! And my two halves to torment when I get bored!
Speaking of my two halves… (Turns towards the cage, only to see Ninka inside it looking quite pissed)
Ninka: Where is Youka? Where have you taken her?
Setsuna: She got thirsty, and I’m allowing her to have a drink, but I think she has had enough now and should be returned to the cage. (Snaps fingers and Youka reappears inside the cage in a poof of smoke)
Youka: (Wide-eyed, bones almost singing) Thank you, thank you, thank you for the drink Setsuna!
Ninka: (Eyes widen in fear) No, you didn’t!
Setsuna: (Smiles Evilly) Yes, I did!
Ninka: (Flesh pales) Y…you g…gave h…her s…s…soda…!
Setsuna: (Evil Smile gets wider) Yep, trapped in a cage with a sugar/caffeine high Youka! Have Fun!
Ninka: Nnnnnnooooooooo!
InuYasha: You have one hell of an evil streak!
Setsuna: What about you? Beating up Shippo! But I have to admit, I took a page from your book when you beat up Shippo! I whack my 6 year old on the head the way you hit Shippo! I have two younger brothers; one is 16, the other 6, every-time they fight it reminds me of when you argue with Shippo! And it doesn’t help that the 16 year old one has the same body-frame as you do!
InuYasha: Whoa! Had no clue your life at home was that bad!
Setsuna: That is why I have this world; that I created, and you here at the moment, but also so you won’t die, like you did in your world. Plus with you here, I’m protecting you from all the rabid fan-girls who would try to kidnap you when they found out that you had no chance with Kagome, because you died!
InuYasha: We should start the chapter!
Setsuna: Oh yeah!
Here is Chapter 17!
InuYasha: Please Enjoy!

Ch. 17
The Painting
-------------------------------------------------
Three Days Later…
Friday…
Ten Minutes till Class Ends…
“The Feudal Era ended in 1568, when Oda Nobunaga entered into Kyoto. This was one of the bloodiest periods in Japan’s history, with local officials establishing their own rule over areas and then fighting for power among each-other”, Kagome says.
“Yet, at the same-time it was a period of economic and cultural growth with increased contact with the rest of Asia and Europe. During this time knowledge of Chinese poetry, the tea ceremony, Zen Buddhism, Confucian teaching, and among other things spread through out Japan”, Iya adds, continuing the presentation.
“Job well done you two, you really researched your project thoroughly”, Mr. Tanaka states, clapping as he stood up.
“Thank you, Mr. Tanaka”, Kagome thanks, as her and Iya return to their seats.
“I’d like to announce that the whole class will be attending the 10th grade Mountain field trip!”, Mr. Tanaka says, once he reaches the front of the classroom.
A cheer rises up in the classroom.
“Ding-dong-ding-dong-ding-dong-ding-dong”, the school-bell chimes.
“That’s all for today”, Mr. Tanaka says, “Stand!”
The class stands up.
“Bow!”
The class bows.
“Class dismissed!”, he leaves the classroom.
(A/N: I got the whole ‘at the end of the class thing’, from the Second ‘InuYasha’ Movie!)
“So Kagome?”, Iya asks, standing next to her desk.
“Yeah, what is it?”
“Want to go over my house to check the showing times for the movie?”, he replies.
“Sure”.
-----------------------------
T wenty Minutes Later…
At Iya’s House…
“Mom, I’m home!”, he calls out.
“How was school, sweetie?”, she asks, stepping out into the hallway, “Oh, Kagome, how nice of you to visit”, she greets.
“Good Afternoon, Mrs. Himeno”, Kagome bows.
“Mother, we’ll be in the study using the computer”, Iya says.
“Alright, sweetie”, Mrs. Himeno says, “Will you be staying for dinner, Kagome?”
“How kind of you, but I can’t tonight”, Kagome replies.
---------------------------
Two Minutes Later…
In the Study…
“There is a showing at eight o’clock tonight”, Iya says, glancing from the computer screen.
“Sota sure will love staying up later tonight”, she comments, looking at the books on the shelves, until a canvas caught her eye, “Huh? What’s this?”
Iya quickly turns around in the chair to face her, “Don’t look at it, it’s not finished yet!”, he exclaims.
Iya painted this?’, Kagome thinks, looking at the painting of an angel-like figure, “Wait! Is that me in that painting?”, she gasps.
Iya’s face turns completely dark red and he stares at the floor.
“Did you paint this?”, she asks.
“Yes, I did”, he answers, his face still red, “I wanted to capture your beauty on canvas”, he adds.
“It’s very well done”, Kagome compliments.
“Thanks”, Iya says, making eye contact with Kagome.

DemonGirl-Setsuna: Well? What did you think? Please review!
Ninka: Help me! Save me from this hyper demon!
Setsuna: Do you think, I went too far punishing them?
InuYasha: Nah! But isn’t soda a reward to your demon-side?
Setsuna: (Shakes her head) Not really, it may seem like a reward now. But later, her hang-over will definitely prove other-wise!
InuYasha: How much soda did she drink?
Setsuna: 4 two-litter bottles of ‘Mountain Dew’!
InuYasha: Yikes! Mega hang-over is coming!
Setsuna: (Smiles and laughs evilly) I know!
The next chapter is called; ‘Movie Theater’.
Catch you readers next time!
InuYasha: I can’t believe you did that!
Setsuna: Did what?
InuYasha: Never mind!
