Inuyasha vs. Japan
Part One - Chaos in the Streets
special thanks: lunarJ
Inuyasha: Let me go! It wasn't my fault!
Two police officers drag Inuyasha down a narrow corridor and throw him
into a jail cell. He hits his head against the back wall. The police
snicker and lock Inuyasha behind bars. Inuyasha rubs his head and
runs over to the closed steel gate. He yells to the cops, but they have
already left. Inuyasha's blood begins to boil. He sits on the cot
provided for him. Inuyasha reflects upon the events that have brought
him to this point.
****************************************************************
Kagome: Inuyasha! Stop it!
It was the early afternoon in the Higurashi household. In Kagome's
bedroom, Inuyasha was dribbling Buyo like a soccer player would with a
ball. The sadistic dog demon smiled with glee as he continued his
torment on the cat. Kagome watched him and waited for the right
moment...
Kagome: SIT!
Inuyasha was pulled to the ground, his face almost becoming one with
the carpet. Buyo rolled out of the room and down the staircase. He
meowed each time that he hit a step.
Kagome: Oh no! Buyo!
Inuyasha: He has nine lives, he'll be fine.
Kagome: He doesn't have nine lives!
Inuyasha: You're right...he just lost one, heh heh.
Kagome: SIT! SIT!! SIT!!!
Kagome's rage sent Inuyasha back down to the floor. However, she
overdid it this time. The force of the magic necklace around Inuyasha's
neck pulled him through the floor and crashing down into the first story
of the house.
Kagome: Oops.
Inuyasha shook off the pieces of ceiling and other debris. He looked
up and saw Kagome staring down at him from the hole above.
Kagome: Are you OK?
Inuyasha: I fell through the floor...what do YOU think? Jeez,
Kagome...did you--AAAH!
Buyo jumped onto Inuyasha's face, biting and clawing in a fit of pure
revenge. Inuyasha stumbled around, slamming into objects all over the
first floor. Lamps, family portraits, tables, chairs�all were turned
over in one way or another. Kagome's mother walked into the kitchen
from outside, home from a day of shopping. In came Inuyasha with the
cat stuck to his face. She screamed and opened the door to let Inuyasha
outside. Kagome entered the kitchen and followed after Inuyasha.
Mom: Kagome? What is going on?
Kagome: I'll explain when I get back!
Inuyasha fought to pull Buyo off his face, but it was no use. He ended
up in the street. Cars had to swerve around the half-demon to avoid
hitting him. The sounds of screeching tires and honking horns filled
the air. Kagome�s human legs made it hard for her to keep up with the
speed of Inuyasha. She thought to herself.
Kagome: I could tell him to sit...but he would crush Buyo.
Oh dear...
Inuyasha knocked over several pedestrians, including an old lady with a
walker. She fell into an open manhole. Inuyasha also hit a teenage
boy riding a bicycle. The boy flew off the bike and landed on the
pavement. His vehicle skidded into the nearest intersection. A car
sharply turned to dodge the bicycle. This caused the car to collide with an
oncoming delivery van. Frozen goods spilled out the back. Greedy
people ran up and looted the truck and stole as much food as they
could.
Inuyasha was so far ahead that Kagome couldn't see him anymore. But
she followed his path of destruction. Kagome found the bicycle in the
road and claimed it for herself. She grabbed a Popsicle from the van
and started to ride the bike. Police cars sped past her and down
towards Inuyasha and Buyo. Inuyasha avoided a cement mixer. The mixer was
bumped by Inuyasha's leg as he moved. His demonic strength forced the
large truck to tip over and cement spilled all over the road. Inuyasha
continued to run down the street, his arms flailing about as he
did.
Inuyasha: Damn cat! Get off me!
Buyo then bit his nose.
Inuyasha: AAAAH!
Inuyasha lowered to the ground and rolled down a steep hill. Oncoming
vehicles did their best to dodge the rolling red ball of screaming
obscenities. Inuyasha ended up on an overpass. An 18-wheeler was coming
right for him. The driver noticed him and veered to his left. But the
turn was too wide and the large truck went over the side of the
overpass and onto a gas station below.
BOOM!
Smoke and fire emerged from the accident. Inuyasha finally pulled Buyo
off his face and slammed him against the sidewalk.
Inuyasha: HA!
He looked up and the police were before him with their guns pointed his
way.
Officer #1: Freeze! You are under arrest!
Officer #2: He ain't human, look at his ears. He's like a dog
or something.
Officer #1: And get a load of that outfit. The hair too.
Halloween is early this year.
Officer #2: It's November, Halloween was last month.
Officer #1: Shut up, rookie.
Inuyasha: Arrest? What did I do?
Officer #1: Look behind us.
Inuyasha did just that. He saw the devastation that he left on his
journey to the overpass.
Inuyasha: Hmm...I see. It was the cat!
Inuyasha pointed a finger at the unconscious feline on the
pavement.
Officer #2: Sure, it was the cat. And I'm Ultraman. Put your
hands over your head! You're going to jail!
Inuyasha turned and jumped away. The police fired their guns and a
single shot hit Inuyasha. He fell onto the rooftop of a building. He
clutched onto his right side (where the bullet was embedded) and made
his way inside through a rooftop emergency exit.
Inuyasha: That damn cat! Just wait until I--
He sniffed the air while he pulled the bullet from his flesh.
Inuyasha: I smell Naraku. But it's not him...it�s one of his
incarnations.
Inuyasha followed the scent and slowly opened a door to gain access to
the top level of the building. The scent led him to a large empty
room. When he walked in, the door shut behind him.
Inuyasha: What the hell?
Creepy laughter, that of a female, echoed throughout the room.
Inuyasha spun around to get a view of all angles. He didn't see anyone.
Then he turned his focus to the ceiling. There she was. An attractive
female demon with long fiery red hair and piercing crimson eyes smiled
at him. Her black yukata was nicely tailored and had a red floral
pattern towards the bottom. A red obi (sash) was wrapped around her
midsection. She sat calmly on a rafter, her hands behind her back.
Inuyasha unsheathed Tetsusaiga and it transformed.
Inuyasha: You reek of Naraku! You�re on one of his
incarnations, aren't you?
She nodded and dropped down to face him eye-to-eye.
Woman: That I am. You must be Inuyasha. Naraku told me that
you'd find me if I waited in one place long enough.
Inuyasha: Um...yeah! I was looking for you! That's it! No
incarnation of Naraku can hide from me!
Inuyasha was obviously lying. Him finding her was an act of sheer luck
and nothing more.
Inuyasha: So what's Naraku up to this time?
She grinned and brought her hands forward. They were hugged by tight
fitting black gloves. In one hand was a small remote control with a
blinking red button. The sinister woman pushed it.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A series of blasts caused a bridge stretching over a nearby river to
collapse. The earth trembled immensely with each explosion. The
horrifying combination of rubble and automobiles sank into the cold depths
of the river. Inuyasha clutched Tetsusaiga.
Inuyasha: WHAT DID YOU DO?
Woman: I didn't do anything...but you did. Here, catch.
The woman tossed the remote and Inuyasha caught it in his left hand.
The police ran up the stairs of the building, advancing closer and
closer to Inuyasha and his enemy. The woman smirked and slowly faded
away.
Woman: Ta-ta, Inuyasha. By the way, my name is Kasai. If you
ever get out of prison, give me a call.
Kasai winked and blew a kiss before finally disappearing. The police
stormed into the room and tackled Inuyasha before he could react,
handcuffing him and confiscating Tetsusaiga.
****************************************************************
Inuyasha waits in the cell for well over an hour before a police
officer comes to him.
Officer #3: You have a couple of visitors, here's one...
Kagome: Inuyasha!
Inuyasha: Kagome! You've got to get me out of here!
Kagome: I'm sorry, but you're stuck in there. Well, until time
for your hearing.
Inuyasha: Hearing? My hearing is fine! And so is my sight!
Officer #3: He can't be this stupid, can he?
Inuyasha: SHUT UP!
Kagome: When I got here on a bicycle that I found, one of the
officers filled me in. You�re to be tried for murder, arson,
destruction of government property, wielding a deadly weapon, obstructing
traffic, child endangerment, animal abuse, and something called Violation
453-A.
Officer #3: Violation 453-A = pushing an old lady down a
manhole.
Inuyasha: Hey, about the explosions, I had nothing to do with
those! That was some woman named Kasai!
Kagome: I believe you, but they won't. You'll need an attorney.
The government would provide you with one, but they usually suck.
Officer #3: I'm not going to argue with that.
Kagome: There is a really strong case against you. I had to
find the most shady, dishonest, low-down, smooth-talking, deceptive
conman I could think of if you are ever to be cleared of all the
charges.
Inuyasha: And who would that be?
The door behind Kagome and the officer opens...and in walks Miroku.
TO BE CONTINUED
It's the trial of the century as Inuyasha is brought into court.
Can Miroku help Inuyasha avoid prison? It all depends on who's on the
jury...and who the judge is! And Miroku's opponent on the prosecution
is unorthodox, to say the least. Next time on INUYASHA VS.
JAPAN..."Miroku, Attorney at Law!"
