Laughter on the breeze

LAUGHTER UPON THE BREEZE

     

     She wasn’t sure how she had gotten up here, all she had tried to do was take a nice, relaxing stroll through the woods. But somehow the night came upon her really fast, and there were noises. Not any normal noises either, and that freaked Annie out.

     She was sixteen, from San Francisco. Her hair was brown, light brown, with brown eyes, that her deviantart “brother” once teased her looked like chestnut color. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, and a few strands danced freely over her left eye, as she dangled in a tree. She’d tried to kick herself free, but in doing so, one of her sandals had fallen off, and the cool summer air trickled between her toes, making her wiggle them.

    “Help, can anyone here me? She cried out. “Is anyone there?” Her eyes scanned for what light there was, as the shadows came in, and the noise of animals she was sure she’d never heard before… save for maybe the time she’d gone to the zoo, grew louder.

     She had only wanted to look around the forest. Okay, maybe she shouldn’t have strayed too far away from her mom and dad, but it had been so warm! She was even able to wear a pink top that was sleevless and revealed some of her tummy. And her pants just gently revealed her lower ankles. “Come on, is anyone there at all?”

     A hideous roar burned in her ears, and the girl screeched with all of her teenage might. She thrashed at the branches holding her clothes, but it only made her tired, and the thrashing seemed to be attracting the attention of whatever made the roar. Her heart pounded against her chest as if ready to burst from the cage of her ribs. Sweat and tears flowed down her face, and she whimpered. A large shadow appeared… one with dark red eyes, and teeth the size of her legs! “Oh, my, God,” the girl screamed.

     It seemed to sense her fear, and God help her, it seemed to smile at it! Its long, tongue dropped from its mouth, gray white saliva dripping from it, and the stench of long dead and decaying bodies of meat floated from its gapping mouth. Six horns adorned its head like a crown, and its skin, as what light touched it, was seen as a mossy green.

     Annie could not bare it any longer. “Help,” she screamed, her five foot, six inch frame shaking with the word as it raced from her lips. “Please!”

     The monster raised its head back, howled something that seemed right for the pits of hell, and lunged at her, its bloodlust revealing itself to its insane max. She closed her eyes, ready for death to take her, and then heard the voice of someone, who screamed a few words.

    “Iron Reaper, Soul Stealer!” It was a male voice, and Annie recognized it, as something she’d heard from Inuyasha. She opened her mouth, and turned to see the monster hiss in pain, glaring down at a white haired boy with a red … kimono? Or whatever the men of 16^th century Japan wore. For a moment, she couldn’t believe it, but the twitch of his ears proved it. He unleashed his blade, which she couldn’t remember the name of as she was terrified, and watched it grow. The monster, perhaps demon, turned and charged at his attacker, fiery flames bursting from its open maw.

     Another male came out from the shadows, one dressed like a Buddhist Monk, with a cloth over his hand. Annie blinked again. OMG, was that Miroku? Okay, I’m dreaming. Gotta be, I’m safe in bed, asleep, with the television on and playing Inuyasha. Miroku uncovered his bound hand, and the black hole quickly swallowed the flames. The demon roared in fury, charging at the monk, ignoring Inuyasha, which was a mistake.

     

With a swift slice of his blade, Inuyasha brought down the demon’s head, slicing off his horns. The demon blinked, and then slumped dead, its head dissolving. The two examined the body, finding a few jewel shards, and then turned to the tree, where they had heard Annie’s voice.</P>

    

“What do you think,” Miroku asked, carefully studying the tree. “Tree Demon?”</P>

    

“No demonic aura, so no. But something alive is there!” Without waiting for the other, the half demon leapt up toward the tree, with three quick bounces and was face to face with Annie. The shock of his speed made her heart jump to her throat, and she accidentally kicked off her other sandal. “And you would be?”</P>

    

“I… I’m Annie, I was just traveling in the woods with my family, and got lost, and then slipped on the edge of a cliff, I guess, and then ended up here.” She wiggled about, showing how stuck she was.</P>

    

“So what’s with those clothes?” Inuyasha asked. He scanned her. “Same type of clothing I’ve seen in the future… in Kagome’s time.”</P>

    

“I must be dreaming, you’re just a cartoon character,” Annie said, flushing at being so close to the boy demon. Wow he’s cute!</P>

    

“That’s the second time, in less than three months someone said that to me,” Miroku said, edging his way up the tree. “Some girl named Lisa also said the same thing.” He also eyed her, and noticed how she blushed. “So you are stuck here?”</P>

    

“No stupid, the tree had a baby, and this Annie here, grew up in its branches feed by its sap!” Inuyasha growled. “Of course she’s stuck, hell even I can see that!” He scanned the branches, and shook his head. “Wedged more like it, those branches have her clothes, but the thickness of them also have pinned her in!”</P>

     Miroku studied the scene for the moment. Kagome and the rest weren’t here, so they couldn’t rely on their help. Then he smiled. “Well, we could take her clothes off, if the branches won’t go, and…,”

     Annie let out an extremely red faced, high pitch shriek, doing her best to cover herself. “Baka,” she snarled at the monk. Okay, he was a cute monk, but as pervy as he’d been on the show.

     Inuyasha would have laughed over the insult, if he hadn’t pounded his friend’s head with his fist. “You perverted, idiot,” he growled. “Even if we did that, she’d still be stuck in there. We need another way to get her out!”

     Miroku rubbed his head, and thought, and then smiled again. “Well, if she was slick enough, we could get her to wiggle her way out.”

    “You want to put oil all over me?” Annie shrieked.

    “Don’t be dumb,” Inuyasha snapped.

    “Butter?” she asked again, eying the monk.

    “That might be tasty,” he chuckled, but no one has any around here, and too many wild animals to leave you alone.”

    “Yeah, I’m looking at one,” Inuyasha said, narrowing his eyes.

    “We could… tickle her till she got sweaty, and wiggled free,” Miroku giggled.

     That was it, Annie’s heart leapt from her throat, raced out of her mouth, and went gambling to Vegas! “OH GOD, NO!!!!!!!! I’M TOO TICKLISH, PLEASE DON’T DO THAT!”

     That was all it took for Miroku to leap into action, ignoring the shocked reaction of Inuyasha. With his free hand, he examined Annie’s left foot, before dancing his fingers across her sole. “That a fact?”

    “OH MY GOD! NO, NONONO AHA PLEAHSE, DOHOHOHON’T! INUYAHAHAHAHSHA! DON’T LET HIHIHIHIM!” Annie began wiggling, feeling the tree tightening around her. She took a gasp of air, and bit her lips, closing her eyes fiercely.

    “You are such a dork, Miroku,” Inuyasha sighed. Still, he’d always been curious about tickling. He’d tried it once with Kagome, and she’d repaid him with a ‘audio tape’ of her voice commanding him to sit for a week! But… but she wasn’t here, and what she didn’t know…. He smiled, and reached of for Annie’s right sole, running his long nails across them in the middle.

    “YOU ARE BOHOHOHOHOHOTH MEANIES! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! STAHAHAHAOP! PLEHEHEHEHASE! MY LAUGHTER MIHIHIHIHIGHT GET THE ATTENTION OF MOHOHOHORE ANIM…. OMG, NOT THE TOHOHOHOHOHOES!”

     Miroku was scribbling at her sole now, and with his free hand, was forcing his fingers deep between Annie’s toes. “Wow, really sensitive here!” He smiled, “You know, I think I’d like to try a game Kagome taught me, called… ‘five little piggies!”

     Annie howled and gasped, her eyes rolling back. Not that, they couldn’t! But they did, at least Miroku did. Inuyasha tickled her sole for another five minutes, before taking a break, and then began licking it with his tongue. Sweat trickled down her face as did more tears, for different reasons now.

    “PLEHEHEHEHEHSE LEAHAHAHAHVE MY FEHEHEHEHEHT ALOHOHOHOHOHONE!” she whimpered. They ignored her, and tickled her for nearly thirty minutes.

    “Well, she’s sweating a lot, but she still seems a bit wedged,” Miroku said, pulling himself up further. He looked at her, panting, and gasping. “Maybe the tummy?”

    “NOT THE TUHHUHHUHUHUMEEEEEE! AHAHAHAHAHAHA, HEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHA!” Annie lashed about, as Miroku dug all ten of his fingers into her stomach, occasionally poking her navel. Inuyasha ignored the upper body, preferring her feet, tickling it with his nails, and ears and tongue. “YOU GUYS ARE PERVERTS AHAHAHAHA! PLEHEHEASE STAHAHAHOP! I’LL TEHEHEHEHEHELL!”

    “We’re just trying to help, you know,” Inuyasha chuckled.

    “Not the tummy, or the ribs, or belly button, and its been an hour. Let me try these soft pits!” Miroku reached up and dragged his fingers from top to bottom of Annie’s pits, leaving her into silent laughter, as they teased her.

     Inuyasha was now using twigs and leaves to dance around her kicking soles, while Miroku wiggles his fingers into the hallows of her arms, and drew circles in the left one, blowing raspberries in the right. “Tastes like sweat!” he grumbled.

    “MAYHBE THAT’S BECAUHUHUHUSE IT IS AHAHAHAHA!” Annie howled. Her body ached, and her muscles became tired. She fought to keep her eyes open, and had no doubt, looking at the sky that it was at least three hours of this. At least they were giving her occasional breaks, just in time to try and yank her free, which so far wasn’t working.

    “And something Kagome calls, D.O.?” the monk said, frowning.

    “CAHAHAHAHAN’T IIIMAGINE WHYHYHYHY!” Annie whimpered with giggling.

    “At least her feet taste good,” Inuyasha snickered, and began nibbling on her toes for like the tenth time again.

    “I, aha, I thought you guy’s were the goohohohohohohod guys, ahahaahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Annie’s lungs begged for the shortage of air to stop. Four hours now. The only thing she could say, was that she kinda was enjoying it! Not too often two cutie cartoon characters came along to tease you like this!

    “They taste like roses,” Inuyasha sighed.

    “Like what?!” a stern, female voice snarled from behind. The half demon gulped, his ears leaping into the air as if stung by bees. “Inuyasha? Miroku? Care to tell Sango and I what you two perverts are doing?”

     The pervy monk gulped and looked down at the two young women. “Er. Helping this poor young woman get free of the tree?” he chuckled.

    “Oh, really?” Sango snarled. “How so, by tickling her to death?”

    “We gave her breaks!” Inuyasha snarled.

    “And nearly broke me in hahahalf, trying to puhuhull me frehehehehehee!” Annie hissed.

     Sango looked up at Annie, and sighed. “Hold still, I’ll help.” She took her boomerang out, and tossed it just right, causing the tree branches holding Annie to crack, and release her, letting her slide down the trunk, where she collapsed out of exhaustion.

    “Inuyasha,” Kagome sang sweetly, her eyes narrowing dangerously low.

    “Yeah?” he whispered.

    “Sit, boy!” she howled, putting her finger to the ground, and repeating the mantra for nearly fifteen minutes, until Annie could sit up.

****************

     It was again, thanks to Kagome, that another girl from her world, was brought back to it, away from feudal Japan. But not before Annie had a round of tickling revenge with both of the boys who had tried to “help” her. Leaving them gasping for her after she was long gone!

 

     My Imoto-chan wanted to be tickled by Inuyasha and Miroku, after reading the story I did for Girlwithclaws, here at DA. So here it is! And I do so hope she likes it!
