The Wicked Witch of the West. . . Returns!

Chapter 12.

Disclaimer: I (sadly) Own neither howl's Moving Castle or Inuyasha :/

'Ugh! I will never fall for that fake blond EVER! Argh!' Kagome was furious, sure she loved to cook but even that wasn't helping her mood. She couldn't believe how she acted around that- that- Playboy! Kagome, now finished with the food, took it off the old fashioned stove. They were having something that Kagome was practically a top chef at, ramen! 'They should be lucky that I am practically a professional in the kitchen, but argh!'. Turning from the kitchen she saw the, now empty, bucket. Walking over to it she kicked it as hard as she could, accidentally making the bucket a part of the wall as well.

Feeling much better she turned around seeing Howl right behind her, blushing because she had been caught kicking a bucket half way across the room and having it embedded itself into the far wall.

Blushing a little harder at his smirk, Kagome could do nothing but say, ". . . Sir. . . . I was just. ."

"Just kicking a bucket" he finished for her.

What else could she say? 'When in doubt jump down a time-traveling well?' ". . Yes. ." kagome said blushing a little harder.

Chuckling Howl said " I forgot to tell you, please just call me Howl"

Nodding Kagome replied " Yes sir-Howl. . . Sir."

Chuckling again Howl nodded and walked to lean on the wall closest to him. She had a backbone, he smiled. He had always loved a woman with a backbone.

Meanwhile Kagome walked up to her room, determined to get her mind off the stupid black haired male behind her. She figured her room was the only place she could get her mind cleared so she wouldn't produce mass suicide. 'This just got old. Fast.'

Meanwhile should we check in on Howl and Calicifer?

"Howl you're really digging your own grave." Calicifer had said.

"Really? How so Calicifer?" Howl had replied, feigning ignorance 'Looking like a complete idiot while doing it'

"Howl you know what your wife is like, this isn't the first time I had to warn you about this. I can already tell that Markel likes her-a lot- even I like her. If anything happens to her you are on your own, don't think I am not playing around either. I am serious."

"Calicifer you are overreacting. Nothing terrible would happen, and if something does happen I'll just cross that bridge when I get their."

I don't know about you but lets see where Markl and Shippou are placed in this story shall we?

Up somewhere in the giant castle, in a room no adult has ever been, where messes are piled high, you can see two little boys around the age of 7 or 9 rushing around and cleaning up. Running all the way across the room and making a bigger mess than they had to begin with.

"Hurry Shippou! We need to hurry! If you want to sleep in my room from now on you need to hurry! Oh noo! "

"Don't worry Markl! Hey! Aren't you supposed to clean your room, not me!"

" If you want to sleep in my room, then yes!"

"Oh! Hey look my momma's coming! Come on dinner must be done or something!

Running down the twisted halls and staircases the children were racing down the castle trying to get to the kitchen and eat something before they as Shippou so eloquently put it "before we blow up into a ball and burst!"

". . .If anything happens to her, you are on your own, don't think I am not playing around either. I am serious. . ." Both boys stopped and just stared at each other one with a look of confusion and the other with disbelief.

"Do you think they could be talking about Kagome?" Shippou had asked a little worried with this new outcome. It seemed to him that Howl was becoming a lot like Inuyasha, and that was a bad thing when his momma was concerned.

Worried Markl said "Maybe we should go, until Kagome calls us down to dinner"

Worried had stung their heartstrings and shone in their eyes as they walked back up to Markl's room. The saddened son of the house maid tried to keep cleaning with Markl, and tried not to think of what Master Howl might do to his loving mother.

When everyone had eaten and had fallen asleep, a skinny young looking woman had just returned, obviously doing some rather. . . Difficult activities noting the way her clothes were crumpled, hair all tousled, and rather tipsy. Heading up 10 flights of stair she had went to the back of the hall, moving the bookcase with little-to-no-ease. Pushing through the door she had ended up in a secret room, connected to her mysterious lovers rather fancy castle. Hidden in the dungeons that not even he knew about. 'Unlike the one that just keeps on walking and jerking around! It's hardtop put on my makeup in something like that!'

Walking toward the middle of the room, which held a large basin of a strange black liquid. "Show me my Howl, Replay all that has happened today!" The woman, as you may have already guessed, Sophie stared in horror at what she was seeing. 'That skank! How dare she put herself onto my husband! I will make her pay! She will die by my hands!' Sophie was seething by the time she was done watching what she had just seen. She couldn't believe it! She was gone for a day and she had managed to make that ungrateful brat to like her! That supid fire thing too!

Making a plan she had decided that tomorrow that she would get even with that ungrateful little girl. She had welcomed her into this house, gave her the laydown of the rules, and had been civil and everything else a good mistress would be! She was the slave here she should be following my every word with such devotion! Yet look at the little whore! Trying to hook up with her man!

Finally going to sleep in her lair she thought of only one thing "Revenge is a dish best served cold!'
