[Scene 1: Miroku & Neko]
Miroku: *sincerely* Neko-sama, I just want you to know that I feel really bad about making Chichiri disappear.
Neko: It's OK, we'll all survive. (Points to the kasa hanging down her back.) And I still have the kasa, so it's like part of him is still with us.
Miroku: *under his breath* You have NO idea . . . .
Neko: Eh?
Miroku: Nan demo nai desu. [It's nothing.] So . . . you're not still mad at me, are you?
Neko: Not really, no.
Miroku: *turning on the charm* Not planning to terminate my existence in some horribly messy and violent way?
Neko: (laughs) No, no, you're OK.
Miroku: *theatrically exaggerated relief* Thank goodness! Big load off my mind! Oh, and now that that's out of the way . . . can I ask you something?
Neko: *hesitantly* I guess . . . .
Miroku: Neko-san, will you reconsider bearing my child, no da? AW DAMNIT!
Neko: *blink blink*
Miroku: Excuse me . . . . (Runs away.)
[Scene 2: Kouga, MJ, Tani, Trin, & IY]
Tani: *to Kouga* So, you just recited the command and . . . (Pantomimes a fall with her hand.) . . . down she goes?
Kouga: *nod* Yeah, it was pretty funny!
MJ: -.-* I didn't think it was so funny . . . . *to Kouga* And I still fully intend to kick your ass!
Kouga: *aloof* You'd never catch me.
MJ: *rotten grin* Gee, when your best tactic is to run like a ninny, it's kinda hard to come up with a good taunt, ne, Kouga-kun?
Kouga: -.-* Who're you calling a "ninny"?
Trin: *before shots are fired* Now guys, let's not disrupt the party with our petty squabbles, ne?
MJ: O.O*** Petty?! This mangy, flea-bitten sonuvabitch . . . literally . . . causes me to plummet out of a tree onto the ground twenty feet below with a great deal of force, resulting in various and sundry physical complaints that will bother me for at least a week, not to mention the severe trauma to my dignity, and I'm being PETTY? (This is said very quickly and all in one breath.)
Trin: O.o; Or not . . . .
IY: How'd you end up with the rosary in the first place? Last I saw, Amiboushi had it. And that's another thing . . . how did any of you guys get the rosary to begin with?
Kouga: *shrug* Our scriptwriter's on crack . . . .
Director/Editor: -.-* I resent that . . . .
IY: Well, you ARE clinically insane.
Director/Editor: Urusai, inu-kodomo. [Shut up, Dog Boy.] Don't make me delete you.
IY: All right, all right . . . .
[Scene 3: WW & K-Chan]
(At the bar.)
WW: *to K-Chan* Oi . . . . (Stares into his glass.)
K-Chan: (sips martini) Nani?
WW: (continues staring into the glass) I've been thinking . . . .
K-Chan: ‘‘Bout what?
WW: I dunno . . . stuff . . . .
K-Chan: *glance* And . . . . ?
WW: Should I dye my hair blonde?
K-Chan: *shock* Huh?!
WW: Never mind . . . . (Throws back shot; falls to the floor as if shoved off his stool.) Wow . . . that stuff's got a kick to it! Barkeep! (Clambers back onto the stool.) ‘‘Nother shot of that Johnny Jump-Up!
K-Chan: *singing* "Oh never, oh never, oh never again . . . if I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten . . . ‘cause I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up . . . after drinkin' a pint of the Johnny Jump-Up!"
WW: You're not funny . . . .
K-Chan: (ignores him; continues singing) "I'll tell you a story that happened to me . . . . "
[Scene 4: Fluffy, Sano, Crystal, Tasuki, Jesse, & Amiboushi]
Crystal: *to Tasuki* So . . . what's your sign?
Tasuki: O.o; A-no . . . (scoots away a few inches) Tachi'irikinshi. [No Trespassing.]
Crystal: *giggle* That's cute! (Lowers voice seductively.) Bet you can't guess what mine is . . . .
Tasuki: *nervous glance to K-Chan at the bar* //Tasukete!// [Help me!] And I'm not really sure I want to, either . . . .
Crystal: Of course you do. (Whispers in his ear.)
Tasuki: O.O; That's . . . um . . . *gulp* interesting . . . .
Crystal: Oh, you don't know the half of it! (Scoots closer.)
Tasuki: (scoots away) Neither do I want to know . . . . I need a drink! (High-tails it over to the bar; sits down next to K-Chan.) Barkeep! Pick the one drink you wouldn't give your worst enemy and give me a double!
K-Chan: *puzzled/concerned* Daijoubu, Tas-chan?
Tasuki: *high nervous voice* Yes, perfectly fine! (Picks up glass.)
WW: I wouldn't do that if I were you . . . .
Tasuki: (throws back his drink in one) Whoa . . . . *dizzy circles* (Sways before toppling to the floor.)
WW: I told you.
(Back to the other group . . . . )
Jesse: So, are you a Pokémon?
Fluffy: -.- No . . . .
Jesse: Can I put you in a Pokéball?
Fluffy: -.-* No . . . .
Jesse: Can I pet your tail?
Fluffy: -.-** No . . . .
Jesse: Do you have a doggy collar?
Fluffy: -.-*** No . . . . (Grits teeth.)
Jesse: Do you like to play Fetch?
Fluffy: -.-**** No . . . . (Starting to twitch.)
Jesse: *begging* Can't I PLEASE pet your tail?
Fluffy: *vein pop poppity pop pop pop* NO!!! (Draws Tensaiga and stabs it into the back of the couch, millimeters from Jesse's throat.)
Jesse: Wow! Perfect aim!
Fluffy: What are you talking about? (Yanks sword out of the couch.) I missed. (Puts Tensaiga back into sheath.)
Jesse: O.O;;; (Suddenly, Amiboushi goes flying overhead.)
Amiboushi: KYAAAAAH! (All eyes turn to Sano.)
Sano: *all wide-eyed innocence* What?
[Scene 5: MJ, IY, & Kouga]
MJ: *just finished her rant* Arigatou, Inuyasha-kun, for letting me vent. It's nice to have someone who can relate.
IY: (waves hand dismissively) Oyasui koto desu. [No trouble at all.] (Kouga passes by. He is now wearing the rosary.)
MJ: (eyes gleam evilly; vaguely disturbing smile) Well, well . . . what have we here?
Kouga: *clueless expression* What?
IY: (notices rosary) Maa, you're in for it now!
Kouga: Eh? (Sees rosary.) O.O; Uh-oh . . . .
MJ: *as loud as she possibly can* OSUWARI! (Kouga is imbedded in the linoleum.)
Kouga: *THUD* Kuso . . . . *glare* Bitch . . . . (MJ smiles pleasantly and walks away, stepping on Kouga's spine in the process.)
