LOLOLOL LOVE FANFICTION.
not a great story, but I lawled at the big super awesome lie.
and it would probably be funnier if you knew anything about the anime series "InuYasha"
So anyway, this is an excerpt from chapter 13 of All Growed Up, by Azurevi.
“… Back to more interesting matters…” Eri turned on Inuyasha. “What do you mean “mate”?”
“I mean-”
“HE’S REALLY taking his costume seriously!” Kagome talked loudly over him. “Inuyasha is dressed as a hanyou for Halloween!”
“Hanyou?” Yuka asked, turning back to the male in question. “Well that’s a first." She squinted up at him. "Hey you seem kind of familiar…”
“Yeah!” Eri chimed in. “I’ve definitely seen you somewhere before…”
“Your picture!” Ayumi chimed happily. “He’s in that picture you always keep around! He’s even wearing the same costume!”
Kagome thought quickly, she was used to flying by the seat of her pants when it came to making excuses, gramps had made it a necessary skill. “Well… Eh… That’s because… Inuyasha is… in… the circus!” She finished triumphantly. “He’s part of a travelling circus!”
“I thought you said that that picture was taken at a costume party?”
“I thought you said a festival?”
“His circus troupe was performing in costume AT a festival!” Kagome continued desperately.
Silence followed this declaration.
“Wait… Is this the two-timer?” Eri asked suddenly, skewering Inuyasha with a glare.
“Huh? Two-timer??” He shot an accusing look at Kagome over the frog-eyed headband Eri was wearing.
“Ah… well… you see… I wasn’t sick all that time in junior high.” Kagome hung her head in shame to cover her expression as she pieced together a passable lie. “I actually kept trying to join the circus whenever they came to Tokyo.” She looked pleadingly into her friend’s eyes in turn. “It was a silly dream, I know. Inuyasha had a partner for his act but she wasn’t very reliable so I would fill in, but since she was his first partner then whenever she WAS around Inuyasha would choose her.” She gave Inuyasha a look with real frustration in it. “But in the end… I guess… he chose me.” She finished quietly as it registered to her that Inuyasha had indeed chosen her.
“Don’t blame me you idiot, YOU were the one who left for FIVE years!” Inuyasha growled.
“I TOLD you I had to finish school!” She yelled back, momentarily forgetting that her friends were all staring at them.
“You waited for her to finish school?” Ayumi asked, stars dancing in her eyes as she gazed at Inuyasha adoringly. “That is SO romantic.”
“Uh huh. And what about your other “partner” Mr. Two-timer?” Eri jabbed a finger in his chest.
“She’s dead.” He said flatly.
“Ohmygosh! Did she die during your act?” Ayumi asked, hand over her honey pot.
“It’s dangerous being in a circus!” Kagome said quickly.
