A/N: This is a belated b-day gift to my hilariously awesome friend, and inredibly amazing fellow author, purduepup! (Read her stories as soon as you done with this one, -ne? *glares*) I'm sorry for taking so long - but I finally decided on the crazy, non-sensical version, and that this will indeed become a multichapter fic of craziness. (each chapter will have a different style to it, but all will take place in acts)
So happy belated b-day pp and I hope that you enjoy! :)
Disclamer: Inuyasha...I'm Sorry purduepup.I really did try to buy him for you. But it seems neither Rumiko nor Kagome are willing to give him up yet. But don't worry! I'll find a way to send him to you, yet... so yeah. I don't own him. Or any of the games/anime mentioned in this chapter. Nor do I own the beautiful magic of Daisuke Ono's voice, or the cold beauty of Ken Narita's. Ahh well...
Note: see my list at end of page if you don't understand a term or something like that. :P
Act I
Scene I:
The Yurei Manifests
It was dark. Dreadfully dark. Terrifyingly dark.
Ok –dark except for the bright, painful light that came from the laptop on the far side of the room, where a shadowy figure dressed all in white, was hunched over the screen, face pale, eyes bloodshot and blank, hair matted, and slightly drooling.
No, this was not your common yurei or yokai. She was a strange one in more ways then one.
Example A: Her feet were indeed visible, or rather, slightly visible, and were stuffed into a pair of fuzzy anpanman slippers (that were perhaps a few sizes to small for her feet) and her arms were rested on her desk, rather than limp at her sides.
Example B: She was decidedly solid, seeing as there was a loud 'thunk' when her forehead sleepily hit against the wall beside her.
Example C: She was sweating from the heat of the room, which was due to the heater next to the window.
Example D: the closest thing resembling a Hitodama in the room was a bright blue cell phone that was flashing sporadically.
As you can see, this… phenomenon was not anything close to your stereotypical Yuki-Onna, Zashiki-Warashi, Kuchisake-onna or a seductress ghost.
Especially the latter.
The creature sighed quietly, and her hazy blue eyes cloud over, as her fingers reach towards the keys when –
They start moving of their own accord.
Creature from horror story magically turns into victim of horror story, as the keys continue typing away, the victim gasping for breathe, before she collapses on the floor in a dead faint.
And the haunted keyboard just keeps on going.
End of Scene I
Scene II:
A Rocky Start
A bright room. Birds chirping cheerily. A sunny, cloudless sky.
A girl is sleeping peacefully on the floor, tangled in her warm fleece Sanrio character blanket, her head resting on a pile of art books for various anime, which are serving as her pillow.
"Nee-chan?" There's a soft pounding of feet against wood, "Nee-chan!"
"Ten more minutes Souta…" the girl grumbles as she adjusts her position, only to roll off her 'pillow'.
"Cut the crap Nee-chan!" her 6th grader brother calls as he passes the door, decked in a snazzy blue uniform, adjusting a red bow around his neck with distaste, "You have ten minutes till school starts."
Blue eyes fly open, and in a blur a figure flies across the room, as her grandfather's rambling voice drifts upstairs, and a door slams.
Not even moments later, she scrambles out the door of her house, as she adjusts her own blue school uniform, and checks her watch. If she takes the bus or train she'll be late, or will get stuck on in the crowdedness of rush hour.
As she downs a sip of Qoo and shoves the bottle into her backpack, her eyes land on her hero.
Akitoki Hojo.
Without another thought she tackles the poor boy as he takes a step out into the sunshine, grabs his bike and makes a run – or rather, pedal- for it.
A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
End of Scene II
Scene III:
An Ordinary Day
Two girls laughing together. Chatting harmlessly on their way to the main building.
"Wait up!"
The taller girl pauses momentarily, her lips slightly pursed.
"Did you hear something?"
The short girl slows down and turns to reply, but the red girl grabs her by the arm and smiles to herself as she continues walking.
"Of course not Sango-chan. Hurry up; we don't want to be LATE, do we?"
A bedraggled looking figure races after the pair, hand outstretched, panting heavily, hair tangled and full of leaves, dirt smudged across her normally pretty face. A slight tear is just visible along the side of the jacket of her uniform.
"Rin…Ayame… Sango..." she gasps weakly, before coming to a stop just inside the gates of the school property, "I-I can't go any further…"
The girls whip around.
"Kagome-chan!" They cry out, rushing towards her, shocked.
Said girls collapses on the pavement, as the two nearby student council members look on in silent interest.
"This never gets old, does it?" the scarlet eyed one yawns, as twists a white feather between her thumb and forefinger.
"Hell no." the short boy beside her responds, smirking, his medium length pale hair making little to no contrast to his pale complexion.
The three girls had managed to get their friend to her feet, as she now tottered uneasily along side them, as they began scolding her.
Like any other day.
"This is why I told you to stop playing those Neo-romance and otome games!" Sango snapped, crossing her arms, and glowering slightly at her companion.
"What's wrong with La Corda D'Oro or Harukanaru?" Kagome demanded defiantly, crossing her arms.
"Oh come on Sango-chan – you have to admit playing Hakuouki at Kag-chan's house was pretty damn fun." Ayame teases, shoving her friend slightly, "those guys are just so…"
She gazes off into space, lost in a world of hot men momentarily, before turning on the youngest of the group, "and I know that Rin-chan liked Starry Sky."
Rin stutters, blushing gently, "B-but you have to admit that Daisuke Ono's voice is amazing to listen to…"
"Yeah, so calm, and cold." Kagome snorts, "Just like a certain someone we know."
Rin's blush deepens.
"What happened to your obsession with Ken Narita's voice?" Ayame went on, poking the short brunette, "Was it just a phase?"
"Of course it was just a phase!" Kagome exclaims, "He's WAY older than her."
"Can we just quit this Otaku-fest?" Sango exclaims sounding agitated.
"Oh... that's right!" Kagome exclaims, snapping her fingers, "I WASN'T playing games last night."
"What were you doing then?" they chorus dubiously.
"Homework." She spits out with distaste.
"Homework?" Rin asks, looking confused, "But, Kagome-chan! We don't HAVE any homework due today."
And thus, the day seems be nothing short of ordinary.
End of Scene III
Scene IV:
Not So Ordinary
"Kami, classes are SO boring." Ayame sighs, as she plops down on the grass beside her friends.
"Exactly how are they boring?" Sango asks somewhat coolly, throwing a glare at the redhead.
"It just is!" Ayame replies with a shrug, as Kagome nods in agreement.
"I always found the Bakumatsu an interesting topic." Rin murmured around a bite of her onigiri.
"The Baku-what?"
"You can't seriously be that stupid, Aya-chan!" A voice chortles from behind them, causing the girls to roll their eyes.
Koga Ookami. The cockiest boy in their grade, most likely the whole world. His ego, if at its height, was probably the size of America, or a little bigger – and at it's lowest the size of Brazil. He was a self-assured boy indeed.
"Don't call me Aya-chan!" Ayame huffs, flushing in embarrassment.
"All right then, Toire no Hanako-chan." He smirked patting her on the head.
"What the hell did you-"
"YUREI!"
All eyes turned on the screaming form of Kagome as she burst into sobs.
