InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Talent Show ❯ 1 ( One-Shot )

Talent Show

Inu-Yasha, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were all sitting in Kaede's hut waiting for

Kagome to arrive. "What's taking her so long?" Inu-Yasha growled. Miroku placed his

hand on his shoulder and tried to calm him down. "I'm sure that Lady Kagome has a

good reason for not being here right now." Inu-Yasha growled again "Yea, she's

probably with that Homo guy." The monk sighed as Shippo piped up, "Why are you so

jealous Inu-" The kitsune didn't have the time to finish because he was trying to dodge

Inu-Yasha's claws. Just then, the door opened and Kagome walked in. "Kagome!

Kagome! Kagome!" Shippo squealed as he gave her a big hug. She giggled as she

scratched his head. "Where have you been wench?" Inu-Yasha asked. Kagome always

got the last word. "Sit boy!" She said as he splatted face down on the floor like a bug against a windshield. Kagome put her backpack down, and a paper fell out of it. Inu-Yasha picked it up and held it upside down, sideways, and threw it on the ground, as Shippo scrambled to get it and brought it to Kagome. "What does this say?" He asked her. She studied it for a while, then replied, "Oh, it's about a talent show." Sango looked at her quizzically. "What's that?" Kagome tried to put it into words that they would understand. "A talent show is where you do something you're good at in front of people." Miroku snickered, and then Sango hit him on the head. "What was that for?" The monk asked. "I know what you were thinking." She said as she petted Kiarara. "That sounds fun Kagome! Can I do it too?" The excited little fox demon asked. "Yea, you can come if you want." Inu-Yasha was still sulking. "Feh. Like I'd want to waste my time on something like that." Kagome egged him on. "You don't want to do it because you have no talent." He growled at her. "I've got more talent than everyone in this room." She laughed to herself, works every time. "Than prove it." She challenged him. "Fine." He replied as he went back to his sulking. "Why don't we go back to my time so we can find something for you guys to do." Kagome suggested. Miroku was the first one to answer. "That sounds like a great idea!" He grinned and everybody else sweatdropped. But what the gang didn't know was they had company. Sessho-maru was sitting on top of the hut listening to everything they were saying. Heh! I'll show that half-breed brother of mine once and for all… He smiled evilly.

Kagome and her friends stood outside her house. A few people stared and pointed at the crew. She muttered and knocked on the door. Souta answered and gasped. "Aww Cool! It's Inu-Yasha and Shippo and Sango!" He picked up Shippo like a puppy and cuddled him, then looked at Miroku. "You're… uhhh…" Miroku sighed. "You don't know me?" He decided to give him some clues.

"Wind Tunnel?" He pointed to his hand.

Sota looked blankly at him.

"Buddhist Monk?"

Another blank look.

He sighed, "Lecher?"

Souta's eyes lit up. "Oh yea! You're that guy?"

He turned to Kagome, who looked at him sheepishly. "Now where does he get this stuff from? Okay, follow me." She walked up the stairs and opened the door to her room. Everybody sat down on the floor. Miroku, of course, was the first one with a suggestion. "I think I'll recite a poem that I made up." Sango gave him a don't-you-dare-try-to-pull-anything-nasty look, then looked at Kagome, "I don't think I'm going to do this, uh…talent show." She nodded at Sango. " I can do a magic act and change shapes!" Shippo replied. Kagome smiled at him. "That's a great idea Shippo!" The little Kitsune beamed proudly. She then turned to the hanyou. "What are you going to do, Inu-Yasha?" she asked him. Inu-Yasha tried to avoid her eyes. "I d-don't know y-yet…" He stammered. What's up with him? She shrugged it off. "Lady Kagome, what are you planning to do?" Sango asked her. "I'm just gonna sing a song." She replied. Everyone looked blankly at her. Inu-Yasha sighed, "A song. It's a thing that people listen to on one of those things." The dog demon pointed to her stereo. How does he know that?

Later that night, after everyone was back in their own time, Kagome lay on her bed, when Souta barged in. "Inu-onii chan is so cool! Isn't he Kagome?" He asked. "Souta, out!" She yelled as he obediently went out of her room. Inu-Yasha? He was acting stranger than normal today. Why was he acting so weird when I asked him what he was planning to do? I don't think I'll ever get him…

About a week later, it was the night of the talent show. Inu-Yasha walked out of her bathroom wearing a black T-shirt and tight blue jeans. Kagome looked at him, then immediately blushed and looked at the floor. He saw her and quickly turned away. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were wearing their usual clothes, and they started walking to Kagome's school. As they were walking, Inu-Yasha froze and drew his sword, then jumped out in the middle of the road and yelled "Demon begone!" The car stopped upon seeing a boy with dog-ears holding a sword, standing in the middle of the road, and there was even a crowd gathering around the gang. But before Inu-Yasha could swing his sword, Kagome yelled, "Sit boy!" causing him to splat against the road with a thud. Miroku tapped the car with his staff, just to make sure there were no demons, and they kept walking as the crowd dispersed. "Hellooo! Did somebody forget me over here!" He yelled from the ground. Kagome turned around "Oops! Gomen Inu-chan!" She said, then waited for him. "Lady Kagome, if you don't mind me asking, what was that metal thing?" Sango asked as they approached the school. "It's called a car." She explained, "It is used to take people from one place to another." Inu-Yasha snorted, "Feh. Why don't they just walk?" he said mostly to himself as they walked into the building. Kagome then saw none other than…Sessho-maru!? Just pretend you don't see him…They got their passes and went backstage, then all stood around for a while. "This is taking too long." Inu-Yasha growled fiercely with his ears folded back. They heard a man talking onstage. "Hello, and welcome to our fourth annual talent show! Thank you all for coming. Now for our first act, a poem by Miroku…uh…Miroku!" Everyone applauded as the man left and Miroku took the stage. "Why is that guy wearing a dress?" Someone from the audience yelled. He chose to ignore it as he picked up the microphone. Kagome told them about it. It was something that made you talk louder, or something like that. He fished a piece of paper out of his robe, and started to recite his poem.

"Fifty years ago, Naraku pierced my grandpa's hand,

Then a curse took effect, which was rather grand.

And so it came to me, it went right down the line.

If I kill Naraku, then I'll be just fine.

Because this hole gets bigger; a `void' is what they say,

Anyone that crosses us is guaranteed to pay.

This story is very true, although it sounds quite wild.

I've got one final question: Will you please bear my child?"

The gang backstage just looked at the monk with disbelief. "You had to have seen that one coming." Sango said. The audience was silent for a while, then started clapping and whistling. He bowed and walked off the stage. "Hi guys!" Miroku said as he gestured to the crowd. The man from before came back onto the stage. "Wasn't that…creative? Okay, for our next act, we have a magic act performed by Shippo Kitsune!" The little fox demon turned himself into a junior high student and walked on stage, picked up the microphone and waved shyly at the audience. "Hi everybody, I'm just going to do a few tricks for you guys." He put the microphone down and dropped his disguise to reveal himself as a cute cuddly fox demon. He heard many of the girls in the audience talking about how cute he was. He then turned into Miroku and picked up the microphone. "Hello! My name's Miroku, I'm a pervert!" The audience laughed. He then turned into Kikyou, "Hello! My name's Kikyou. Do you want to come to Hell with me?" Kagome look uncomfortably at Inu-Yasha, expecting him to be enraged, sad, or both, but to her surprise, he was…laughing. Shippo returned to his true form, bowed, and walked offstage. The man came out again. "How does he do that? For our next act, we have…" he squinted at the card. "Inu-Yasha!" He nervously walked out onto the stage and picked up the microphone. "Hey, look! He's got dog-ears!" Someone yelled. He bared his fang and growled, which immediately silenced the audience. The hanyou cleared his throat and started to sing quietly, "Won't you look at her, she looks at me, she got me thinking about her constantly…" The gang backstage all turned and looked at Kagome. "Why are you guys looking at me?" She focused her attention to the dog demon on stage. "But she don't know how I feel. She carries on without a doubt, I wonder if she's figured out, I'm crazy for this girl." He put the microphone back and walked offstage ignoring the applauding crowd. Kagome looked at him, "That was so…" He expected her to say awful. "Beautiful." She looked into his golden wolf eyes for a moment, until she was called onstage.

She picked up the microphone. "I'd just like to dedicate this song to someone here." Now the gang all turned to look at Inu-Yasha, who didn't notice because he was watching Kagome intently. "For all those times you stood by me, for all the truth that you made me see. For all the joy you brought into my life, for all the wrong that you made right. For every dream you made come true, for all the love I found in you…" Inu-Yasha was so overcome at the moment, he even ignored Shippo teasing him. " And I'm everything I am, because you loved me." He just stared; his jaw almost hit the floor. Everyone applauded as she bowed and walked offstage. He came up to Kagome, and just looked at her. Neither one had to say anything. Now they both knew. They sat down on the floor next to each other. "Now for our final act, a ballet performance by Sessho-maru!" Kagome, Inu-Yasha, Shippo, and Miroku all burst into laughter.

Sango asked, "What's so funny?" Miroku tried to answer through his laughter, "Sessho-maru is…Inu-Yasha's half…brother…" She looked at the man dancing on stage, then back at Miroku. "Did you say `Inu-Yasha's half brother?'" They were laughing so hard they could only nod their heads in agreement. Sessho-maru bowed gracefully and walked offstage. The audience was silent. "Well." Kagome said, "That sure explains a lot." The man walked onstage. "Now, the winner of our talent show is…Shippo Kitsune!" Shippo beamed proudly and ran onstage. "Goodie!" He clutched the trophy, which was about ten times bigger than he was, and staggered backwards. Sessho-maru was crying backstage, and Naraku was holding him, trying to comfort him. "It's just not fair! How could I lose?" The youkai sobbed, while Naraku stroked his hair. "There there, Fluffykins, it's alright. I though you were wonderful." Sessho-maru stopped crying long enough to look at Naraku. "You…you really mean it?" Naraku just smiled at him and replied, "I always do." Kagome just glanced at the two and sighed. Those guys have some issues to work out. The gang came onstage and congratulated him. Inu-Yasha effortlessly picked it up and rested it on his shoulder and they walked offstage. "This is so cool! I've never won anything before! Yippeee!" Shippo said as he danced around his prize. Inu-Yasha and Kagome looked at each other and smiled, because they were the ones that truly won.
