Author's Notes: I was actually going to start a Fruits Basket fanfic because I've been very into it lately, but I decided an update for this would be much more appeasing to my fans. You should be praising me right now…SO BOW! Also, I am so very sorry this came so late! I had no idea eighth grade would be so difficult. That plus the high school entrance exam made it more difficult for me to find free time for this. Luckily, I'm a multi-tasker. Oh and also, I would like to apologize on how short this chapter is and how it has hardly any views from the other characters.
Ahem, anyway, review replies. Once again feel free to skip if you're not listed:
Saf14: Yes, I realized that Nerima is a district of Tokyo while after the second chapter. Because of the references I already made to that, Nerima and Tokyo are two places here. Besides, it's not all that important to this story.
Tessa-chan: (One of my favorite reviewers) Yes, it will be Ranma/Akane and Inu Yasha/Kagome in the end. Don't worry. And also, Miroku and Sango will have their roles…just not at the moment.
Esuna: I'm sorry but the pairings will stay. I can't write anything other than Inu/Kag and Ran/Aka because I don't really like them with anyone else.
CompMan44: (Another of my favorite reviewers) Oh thank you so much! My spell check wouldn't give me the right spelling of "thoroughly" and now I actually know how to spell it.So without further ado:
Make Him Green With Envy
Chapter Three: There's a Weird Girl in the Bathroom!
-
-
Inu Yasha climbed through Kagome's wide-open window, angrily. He mentally noted that Kagome wasn't in the room, or in the house, from what his nose was telling him. Inu Yasha also noticed something that made him even angrier than he was. Kagome, or anyone, wasn't in the house, and yet she still had her window wide open for any freak to just climb through! What a ditz!
Suddenly, his keen ears heard a door open and people talking. Being that his sense of hearing was so good, he could hear the conversation well.
"So what kind of martial arts do you take?" said a familiar voice. Kagome!
"About every kind there is. If it has martial arts in the name, I've probably done it." replied a nauseatingly smug voice…a male voice!
Growling like the dog he is, Inu Yasha debated whether to shut that conceited-assed guy up with his claws or with the Tetsusaiga. "Just listen to that guy! Probably trying to show off his 'martial arts' skills!"
Inu Yasha cracked open the door a bit and caught a glimpse of Kagome and the arrogant bastard. He thought he saw Kagome looking at him, but he concluded it must be his imagination.
"So can I fix you some tea or something, Ranma?" he heard Kagome say oh so sugary-sweetly.
Anyway, as Inu Yasha burned inside with his anger, tempted to scream, Kagome prepared the teakettle, aware that Inu Yasha was in her room, after looking straight at him. Atleast he could try to hide! What a ditz!
Grinning menacingly, Kagome decided it was time to turn on the charm on Ranma. But in her nervousness, as she moved fill Ranma's cup with tea, she completely missed the cup and spilt hot tea all over Ranma!
"Nice move, Higurashi," both she and Inu Yasha thought, although one was distraught and another was snickering.
Ranma, on the other hand, was thanking his lucky stars the liquid Kagome poured on him was hot and not cold.
After of brief moment of embarrassment, Kagome collected herself and tried to regain her composure. Politely she said, "Um…I'm sorry! There are some towels in my room if you want to dry off! It's upstairs, to the left…"
Upon hearing that, Inu Yasha frantically tried to use his feeble mind to decide where to hide. Unfortunately, while doing so he didn't hear Ranma saying he was just going to take a bath instead.
So Ranma walked inside the bathroom, still a little apprehensive about the close call back with the teakettle. "Boy, if that was cold water…" He splashed himself with some cold water (since the weather was pretty hot out) and took off his top, vaguely recalling the first time Akane found out about his curse.
He turned the bath water on and waited impatiently for the tub to fill.
Meanwhile, Inu Yasha was still in his panicked state and was still deciding where to hide. He cautiously cracked open the door of Kagome's room, looked around to check if the coast was clear, and tiptoed into the hall, where he decided he'd just hide in one of the other rooms…an unfortunate move for him…and Ranma.
"Since Ranma and Akane are gone…" said Genma Saotome sounding very serious, after he and the Tendo's came back from seeing Akane and Ranma off. Then his tone suddenly changed to a goofy pitch, "We have two less people to feed…SO WE CAN EAT OUT!"
And with that resounding cheers of joy echoed throughout the house. So with large, goofy grins they all skipped merrily out to some expensive restaurant.
And about ten seconds after the Tendo's and Genma left, Ryoga Hibiki the eternally lost boy, who also happened to have bad timing at the moment finally made it to the front door of the Tendo dojo and announced himself loudly. "RANMA!! I'VE FINALLY COME BACK TO ISSUE A CHALLENGE!"
No response.
"Ranma!"
No response.
Ryoga smirked and said out loud, "Heh, I guess the coward ran away."
Not likely.
He walked around, extra carefully around the perimeter of the dojo until he noticed a note scribbled hastily, with two wallet-sized photos paper clipped to it, taped to the door. He took the note down and read it.
The heading read Dear P-Chan, but before'P-Chan', 'Stupid' was written but crossed out.
Ryoga seethed a little before continuing reading the note.
No, I didn't run away from your stupid challenge.
I'll be in Tokyo. Look up 'Kagome Higurashi' if you really need to challenge me that badly. (Which I know you probably will)
And don't bother lookin' for Akane neither. She's in Tokyo too, livin' with some guy named Hojo.
Ranma
Inu Yasha ran swiftly down the stairs, blushing madly at what his amber eyes had just seen. Passing a startled Kagome, Inu Yasha easily lifted a stone statue (from the Higurashi garden) high above his head from and started to run back inside and towards the stairs.
Kagome stood there bewildered with her thoughts along the lines of What the hell is he doing?!
"What the hell are you doing?!" Kagome exclaimed, a little uncharacteristically, fist clenched, and anger marks popping up everywhere.
Inu Yasha turned around, his face red from both running and from seeing a strange spectacle in the bathroom. "There's a weird, perverted girl in your damn bathroom!…AND I'M GOING TO DROWN HER IN THE TUB!!" He started to go up the steps before Kagome shouted her famous line, "Sit!"
And of course, we all know what happens.
"How can there be a girl in the bathroom if Ranma is in the bathroom?" Kagome exclaimed.
"…I'm telling you…I know what I saw, and what I saw AIN'T A GUY!!" Inu Yasha screamed back, his blush becoming heavier.
Kagome thought for a bit before realizing what he was talking about. A little flustered, she grabbed Inu Yasha's wrist and dragged him to the bathroom. "I'm going to prove to you that there's no topless girl in the bathroom, and that Ranma will probably be in there getting ready to take his bath!!"
Inu Yasha's eyes grew wide, "NO WAY!!!" He ripped his wrist from Kagome's grip. "I AIN'T LOOKIN' AT THOSE AGAIN!"
Subconsciously, Kagome wondered if Inu Yasha heard what he was saying half of the time. Another anger mark appeared on her head as her brow twitched fiercely. Crossing her arms she said in a forced sweet and serene matter, "So, you took a pretty good look didn't you…at the 'weird, perverted girl', huh?" Though she was partly sure, this girl didn't exist, the thought of Inu Yasha looking at…those just made her anger equivalent to the intensity of a thousand burning suns.
Inu Yasha had on a clueless and dense expression, wondering why Kagome was so angry. Before he could say something another "SIT" was said and Inu Yasha's face was planted into the stairs.
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Ranma stood glued to the same spot. "Okay…think…Ranma…think. Let's recap on what just happened. Some freak with silvery hair just opened the door, stood there with his mouth open, slammed the door, and ran down the stairs. Oh…and he took a pretty good look too…"
Ranma visibly recalled the first time Akane found out about his curse.
Suddenly, he heard voices coming from outside the door…and two loud thump noises. Ranma snapped back into reality, put on his shirt, and turned on the faucet to fill a bucket with warm water.
The doorknob started to turn and muffled voices that sounded like two people arguing could be heard.
Ranma took the half-full bucket and poured it on his currently female body.
The door opened and there stood an angry Kagome and a flustered Inu Yasha.
"SEE!" Kagome exclaimed fiercely, "I TOLD YOU!!"
"I KNOW WHAT I SAW!" Inu Yasha shouted back, balling a fist.
Ranma stood there, wondering what those two were talking about. He was given his answer when Inu Yasha continued:
"I'M TELLING YOU, THERE WAS A GIRL IN HERE!"
Ranma nervously answered quickly, "There was no girl in here! Why would there be a girl in here?!"
Kagome was suddenly reminded of Ranma's presence in the room, "Oh! I'm sorry! This guy over here just…seems to think…well---nothing. He's just…very rude to strangers…"—she quickly grabbed Inu Yasha's wrist again and laughed in mock cheerfulness, "We'll just leave you to your bath again…heh heh!"
She slammed the door, dragged Inu Yasha down the stairs, into the garden and yelled feverishly, "SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT"
Yes, flame me if you want. This chapter was actually a little boring to me, but you may have different opinions. Oh and watch out in the coming chapters. Not only is Shampoo out to kill Kagome, but also Ryoga is going to be out to kill Hojo and possibly murder Ranma.
Yes, Inu Yasha will be in more chapters…do not worry.
Please review. Thank you!
