I still own nothing connected with Inuyasha
While a large portion of the population lives by the rule ‘when in doubt, leave the comma out’, I happen to like the little guy. He’s one of my favorite punctuation marks. According to some, I like him too much. There’s no plot to this little piece. It’s just meant as a cathartic way of releasing frustration.
8*8*8*8*
They stood in a cluster, looking down at the small object on the white sheet. It didn’t look particularly dangerous, but Kagome had assured them that it could bring kingdoms to their knees.
“It looks kinda like a tadpole,” Inuyasha snorted as he poked it with the end of his great sword. “It don’t even move. How the hell can it be so powerful? Her brain must be broken if she thinks this little mark is strong.”
“Careful, little brother. It may seen innocuous, but it has the ability to change the world.” Sesshoumaru glared at the tiny, dark speck with it’s little curving tail. “Even in the context of my opening to you, that little ‘tadpole’ could just as well have made you my careful little brother. The world at large knows that’s an attribute that you shall never be able to attain, given your present persona. Without that little marking, we could have undone all the works that your brash nature has effected.”
The lecherous monk, Miroku, shuddered as he thought of the many times he’d used an aside in his speeches to beautiful women. The collocation of the words lost all meaning without that little mark separating them. The picture of a pack of angry young women making a pact to guarantee his demise flashed through his mind. It gave a totally unplanned content to the words ‘come with me, my dear Sango.’
Shippou, who was given to run-on sentences, blanched at the prospect of losing the use of the punctuation mark. He knew he’d pass out from lack of oxygen without the opportunity for a quick breath before every ‘and’ or ‘but’.
Sango stood quietly, and reflected on the meaning of the little, innocent mark before her. “Do you mean that my brother’s name really isn’t ‘Kohaku-what-have-you-done?”
All eyes turned, as Kagome skipped merrily into the hut. “Has everyone had a chance to make friends with the comma? It can be one of the most important tools in making sure we’re understood, after all.”
Inuyasha simply scowled at her as he mumbled, “I’ve got the perfect place for you to stick your comma.”
