Part 2
Disclaimer: Inuyasha and co. plus other whatnots not mine yada yada.
Piper has finally gotten off her lazy a** and now with coffee cup in hand, the computer in front of her, she will attempt to write part two to her fic with no plot.
What happened in Part 1 (for those who forgot or didn�t read it):
Inuyasha: was taking a stroll in the woods where he happened upon a juicy bone tied to a piece of string. He is now somewhere in Egypt or thereabouts following this bone.
Miroku: attempted to commit suicide and then threatened to annihilate everyone (but especially Shippou) with his air rip but thought better of it.
Kagome, Sango, Shippou, Miroku: are now in Kaede�s hut waiting for the return of Lum, er, I mean Inuyasha but really using this as an excuse to play Monopoly.
Naraku: is totally convinced that Inuyasha is planning an attack so he is now in his dreary room planning a counter-attack.
Kagura and Kouga: got Piper in trouble with Greenpeace and are now left in a completely white background bopping each other on the head.
Part 2.
We shall start off part 2 by finding ourselves in Naraku�s room. The rows of dolls have increased three fold and the huge pile of wood is now a little pile. Naraku adds yet another doll to his collection and picks up the third last piece of wood from the pile. There is a knock on the door and Kanna steps in with her usual expressionless face.
�They�re here,� she says.
�Good, bring them in,� says Naraku. Kanna disappears out into the corridor only to return with a truckload of wood. She dumps the new arrival on top of the diminishing pile on the floor and looks at Naraku.
�The guy from �Woods �R� Us� wants to get paid.�
�Just take his soul,� instructs Naraku without looking up. Kanna disappears into the corridor again.
Naraku works in silence for a few minutes when the something that has been stirring in his Jar of Flesh in Part 1 bubbles violently. He looks up and eagerly anticipates the type of evil monster that�ll be his new minion.
The bubbles begin frothing and frothing and then suddenly a bright light emanates from the opening, filling the room with a blinding light. It is gone almost as quickly as it came and the bubbles have completely disappeared. Naraku watches the Jar closely.
�We�re nearly there darling, just a bit further,� says a young, female voice from inside the Jar.
�Are you sure that�s really the school on the other side?� asks a distrusting male voice.
�Oh, really darling, can�t you have just a little faith in me? When have I ever let you down?� A young girl with long, greenish hair, two horns on either side of her head and wearing a striped bikini emerges from the Jar. She reaches her hands in to help her companion, a young boy with tousled hair and messy strange clothing.
�Oh, where do I begin counting?� says the boy with a frown. He steps on to the tatami and looks around. The girl, Naraku notices, seems to be just, floating in mid-air.
�Well, now is a good start. Does this look like the school to you? Hmm? Does it?� The boy�s frown has turned into a rather unpleasant scowl. �I�ll be really late now, no thanks to you! I knew I should never have listened to you and your strange little gadgets!� he wails.
The girl surveys the room with disbelief. �How strange!� she says, �this appears to be some kind of doll shop. But my calculations couldn�t have been wrong, this should be the school.� She turns back to the jar and reads the little gadget thingy that has mysteriously appeared on the rim of the Jar. �Oh silly me! I forgot to carry the one. This is five hundred years earlier!� She fiddles with the thingy and then clips it on to the rim. �Come on darling, I�ll get it right this time, have some faith in me!� she says and drags her rather displeased companion into the jar. The room fills with blinding light again and when Naraku is able to open his eyes the two strange people are gone and the bubbles have returned. He turns back to his work.
�Inuyasha isn�t back yet?� asks Kaede as she steps into her tiny hut.
�Nope,� says Kagome as she shuffles the pack of cards in her hands. She looks at her friends, �ready?� Shippou nods with enthusiasm while Miroku and Sango ready themselves for what is to come. Kagome throws the pack into the air and shouts at the top of her lungs, �FIFTY-TWO PICKUP!� Shipppou squeals in delight and everyone scrambles around the room trying to pick up as many cards as possible.
�Yare-yare,� sighs Kaede. �If you have so much time to do such senseless things, why don�t you go out and look for some more shards?�
�But Inuyasha�s not back yet,� states Shippou as he jumps into the air to catch a drifting card.
�Inuyasha or no, GET OUT OF MY HUT!�
Everyone freezes when the aged miko raised her voice. They stare at her in horror for some seconds before all gather his or her things and hurry out of the hut and the village.
When the last of them are truly out of sight, Kaede gathers the stray cards into a pile. Then she giggles in a low voice and then in a much louder voice, she yells �FIFTY-TWO PICKUP!� and with that she throws the cards into the air before bending over to pick them up.
�Great, where are we supposed to look for Inuyasha? He could be anywhere!� exclaims Shippou. Clearly he is not pleased about being kicked out just when he is on a winning streak? Didn�t he, against or odds, managed to turn the tables around at the last minute and ended up with more property and money than the other three put together in monopoly? Didn�t he score the highest points on Kagome�s �gameboy�? Didn�t he collect the most number of cards in Memory? Didn�t he manage to get all his little green pieces to their final destination in Ludo before the others? Didn�t he�
�Geez, Shippou! I think the readers get it now.� Says Miroku. In case anybody is wondering, Miroku also attended the same �How to read other people�s minds� class as Goshinki. But whereas Goshinki graduated at the top of the class, it�s a very, very different story for Miroku. His mind-reading powers only seem to work in the most useless of times. Like now for instance.
Anyway, the group continues to wander around aimlessly.
Suddenly Sango has a good idea. �Hey, I have a good idea� she says. �Inuyasha was last seen in the forest so why don�t we go into the forest and look for him there?�
�Good going, Sango!� says Miroku and he sidles up to her to give her a congratulatory grope in the hind area. His face receives the thank-you-very-much-for-groping-me slap.
The group then proceeds to the forest.
�So you mean that dog-turd has finally realized that he is no match for me and chickened out leaving the beautiful Kagome to me?� asks Kouga.
�No, I did not say that. I said that Inuyasha is in some deep and secret grove plotting to kill Naraku and the rest of the group are acting as a decoy to direct our attention away from him.� Explains Kagura for the umpteenth time.
�Same difference.�
The two have finally been released from their little adventure in a totally white background and are walking side by side in a forest. Both sport lumps on the head from their quarrel.
�Anyway, Naraku has sent me to go look for his whereabouts while he plots a counter attack.�
�Hmm, interesting, if Inuyasha and Naraku fights a showdown and kill each other then my vengeance on Naraku is complete and Inuyasha will no longer come in the way of me and Kagome, why, that�s two birds with one stone!� thinks Kouga.
�Yeah, and for me, that�s one bird with one stone because Naraku holds my heart and if he dies, I�ll be free!�
�Yeah, whatever,� says Kouga, clearly not interested. �Look, you go do what you normally do and I�ll be off to claim back my woman. Ta!� and he disappears in a flash.
Kagura is so engrossed with her little speech that she does not notice that her companion is gone.
�He holds my heart you see, and he makes me do things I don�t wanna do and if I don�t do it, he squeezes it and it hurts. I mean it�s not fair. He never squeezes Kanna�s heart. He never makes her do anything. She could just sit at home holding her little mirror while he sends me out into the dangerous world doing all sorts of dirty things! Oh, why is life so cruel? Oh why must I suffer like this�� she moans. �What do I hafta do to get my freedom, Kouga�Kouga?� Kagura stops her wailing when she realized that she is alone and no one is listening to her. No one that is, except that dead cockroach in the corner who�s only really there for prop purposes.
�Hey! Wait for me!� she calls out as she hurries after the Wolf Demon.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the cold regions of the Arctic, Inuyasha shivers and says �Brrrrrrrr!!� but not once does he takes his determined eyes of the bone.
Naraku hums softly to himself as he chisels away at his artwork. Suddenly, his Jars of Flesh stirs again. He looks up from his work with apprehension, wondering whether the Jar would do the same weird thing it did before. The opening of the Jars spills forth light that is of a strange, fluorescent yellow hue, quite unlike the blinding white flash before. �This looks promising,� thinks Naraku to himself.
The fluorescent yellowish light disappears and before him stands the silhouette of a strange but awfully small creature. Naraku comforts himself with the thought that size doesn�t matter; besides, he likes them small and vicious, like Kageroumaru, for instance.
�Pika?� says the small, strange, yellow creature as its form becomes more visible.
�Good, you are born now. I am your lord and master, Naraku,� informs Naraku, somewhat disheartened. This, this�thing, whatever it is, doesn�t seem to look very menacing. In fact, Naraku swears it looks�God forbid�cute.
�Pikapika?� says the thing again.
�I shall name you...umm�err�Pikachumaru! No go and kill Inuyasha�s friends and don�t come back until you have succeeded or it�ll be the worse for you.�
�Pika?� says the thing again.
