QJP: Once again, like the rest of my fics, I have re-wrote Chapter one of The Punishment. But who knows, it might be better now then it was before right?
BC: I liked the first time you wrote this. Didn't you get a lot of reviews on it?
QJP: Yeah, this story was the one that had the most reviews out of Dating Miroku and Spin the Bottle...and Then Some.
PLP: Whatever happened to the Spin the bottle one? I didn't see it on your 'projects' list in your bio.
QJP: Well, since I lost the first 2 chapters of it and didn't really feel like redoing all them, I decided not to start it again. But I did think of two new story ideas to replace it with.
BC: What stories?
QJP: The New Youkai and The Sacrifices We Make. The New Youkai is where my ACC comes in and The Sacrifices We Make is another San/Mir one. To end this Author Note, I would like to point out that I do not own any of the inu cast. But me and my friends ARE going to cosplay for Holloween as each of the characters! I'm being Sango, Baka-chan's being Miroku (we're going to force him to ask some strange girl to bear his child. It's going to be GREAT!), PLP is being Kagome, BC's being Shippo, and Chibi-hentai's being Inuyasha. Anyway, ON WITH THE FIC!
----------------------------------Chapter 1: The Arguement---------------------------------------
Sango once again hit Miroku over the head with her Hiraikotsu. This time she came very close to knocking him unconscious.
"Sango! Why are you acting like this?" Miroku said as he dodged another blow from the giant boomerang, "You aren't jealous are you?"
"I'M NOT JEALOUS!" Sango screamed as she took another swing at the defensless monk. This time she succeeded in knocking him unconscious and decided to end the torture and head back to the clearing that was camp for the night. On the way through the woods she thought back at how this whole argument started...
----------------------------------Flashback: Sango's POV-----------------------------------------
"Inuyasha, I can sense a Jewel shard." Kagome said.
"What? Where?" Inuysaha asked, dropping his bowl of ramen.
"Um...about two miles north."
"Lets go then." Was all he said before taking off in the direction of the shard.
"He sure doesn't waste any time, does he?" Kagome said to herself as she hurridly packed up camp and then ran after him. Leaving me and Miroku alone.
"Shall we go?" Miroku asked, already heading after Kagome's retreating form. I nodded and started walking with him, careful to make sure his hands didn't get TOO friendly. Soon we came to a small clearing and found Inuyasha desperately trying to slay the demon which was winning (A/N: to get an idea of what this thing looks like just think of Goshinki).
After the battle was done and the three shards that the demon had collected, I noticed that Miroku had disappeared and went to search for him. It wasn't more than a few minutes before I heard a girl's voice.
"Thank you monk. If you hadn't heard my crys for help then that demon would have killed me."
"I'm always willing to help those that are in need."
'Yeah, especially if they happen to be a girl.' I thought as I hid behind some bushes, listening intently.
"Is there anything I can do to repay you?" I heard the unsuspecting girl say.
'Oh God, here it comes. Should I stop him now or wait and see how far this is going?' I thought. deciding on the later, after all, I could always jump in if he got too carried away.
"As a matter of fact, yes there is something you can do for me," Miroku said, taking the girls hands in his own. The girl looked suddenly uncomfortable at his actions. "But first, how old are you?"
"I am 10-years-old. But I'm quite capable of anything you might want as payment."
'Yeah, right. You obviously don't know what this 'payment' will be.'
"Well, that's pretty young." 'But I HAVE asked younger girls then that' Miroku thought before continuing. "But anyway, would you consider bearing my child?"
"What? Are you SURE you wouldn't rather have me give you some other payment? I seriously don't think it'll be right for me to give myself to someone I hardly know. And what about your vow of chastity as a monk?"
"But this is what I truly desire. And one thing I learned, is that there are ways around everything."
"Well then, if this is what you truly desire, yes, I will bear your child."
When the girl said this, I definetly knew that this monk had another thing coming if he was going to get past me unharmed.
"Well, now that that's settled, where should we meet to do this?"
"Well, my village is north of here so-"
"Wait, that village? I pass by there all the time so how about the next time I do we meet and discuss this further?"
"Okay. See you later." With that they both went their separate ways, at least Miroku tried to but he was stopped by me.
"Oh, hi Sango. Been there long?" He asked uneasily.
"Long enough. What do you think your doing, leading an innocent girl on like that?"
"Hey, at least she agreed to do it. Unlike one person who shall remain nameless."
'Yeah, well that's because you never asked me. I would have gladely accepted.' I thought as Miroku desperately tried to get by me. "Fair enough, but why did you have to ask a 10-year-old? Someone THAT young obviously doesn't know what they want."
"She appeared quite capable of knowing what she wants."
"To you maybe. I think that once again, I must beat some sense into you."
----------------------------------------End Flashback--------------------------------------------
By this time, Sango had already made it back to the clearing that would be camp for the night.
"Did you find Miorku?" Kagome asked, looking up from the pot of ramen she was preparing.
"Yeah, he found some little girl that was being attacked by another demon."
"So, where is he now?"
"Oh, I left him unconscious in the woods a little while back. He should be out for a while."
"What did he do this time?"
"Well, he asked that little girl to bear his child and I happened to hear."
"What's so different about that? He's always asking girls to bear his child and you're always overhearing."
"Nothing except the fact that she actually agreed to do it. They had already made plans to meet and discuss this further."
"How old is the girl?"
"That's the problem, she's only 10."
"Well, someone had to agree to do it."
"Yeah, I understand that, but why did it have to be someone that young when it could have been m- I mean why did it have to be a ten-year-old who probably doesn't even know what she wants?" Sango said, taking the bowl of ramen that Kagome handed her. 'Now THAT was a close one.'
"Oh, that's right, he didn't even ask you did he?"
"No, he didn't."
"I might be imagining it but you seem to be disapointed about that." Inuyasha finally spoke up from the tree he was sitting in.
"Well then I guess you are imagining it because I really couldn't care less if he asked me or not."
"You know, you make one bad lier. Seriously, we all KNOW you love Miroku, just like we all KNOW he loves you. So how about when he comes back you tell him how you feel and maybe he'll just forget all about the girl." Kagome said, hinting that she should just ignore what Inuyasha said.
"Who says I'm lying. And besides even if I do tell him how I feel, that doesn't mean that he feel the same way, what with him groping all the other girls and asking them to bear his child instead of me."
"I'm sure he only does those things because he's confused about your feelings towards him and is afraid of his as well."
"I don't care. I'm so sick of him and his perverted ways. I really don't care if he lives or dies now, either by that curse or by Naraku. I'm never speaking to him again."
"What are you guys talking about?" Miroku said as he came out of the woods massaging several bumps on his head from Hiraikotsu.
"Nothing really. So, you've finally found someone to bear your child, huh?"
"Yes, actually. Her name is Yukayla (A/N: name courtesy of PLP) and she lives in Kaede's village."
"How old is she?"
"She's 10. Why?"
"Sango's told us how she overheard your conversation and we just wanted to make sure it was true."
"Really. Well, it's getting late. We should all get some sleep so we can continue on with that shard rumor in the morning."
-------------------------------------the next morning--------------------------------------------
After another meal of ramen for breakfast, everyone set out in the direction of the shard rumor that was recently heard from a nearby village. Miroku, who finally figured that Sango was more angry at him then expected, was trying desperately to get her to talk to him. She wouldn't and Kagome ended up being the messager between the two. By mid-afternoon, though, she was getting quite tired of it and went on to plan a way to get them to start talking again.
"Kagome, can you sense the Jewel shard yet?" Inuyasha asked.
"No, are you sure that village was telling the truth, Miroku?"
"I'm pretty sure they said that a powerful demon went by there."
"We should just stop and ask about it to make sure."
"You guys can but I just remember that I have this HUGE test to study for and need to go home right away." Kagome said, right out of the blue. 'Then I'll be able to think more about how to get Sango and Miroku talking to each other again.'
"What?! You just got back two days ago!" (A/N: three guesses of who said that. C'mon, take a guess.)
"Inuyasha, don't argue with me. I'm going."
"I can argue with you if I want. I say you are not go-"
"SIT!"
Once the spell wore off and Inuyasha was able to stand again, Kagome was nowhere in sight.
"That stupid b----. Why is she always sitting me when I didn't even do anything?"
"Well, you DID argue with her when she specifically told you not to. And besides, you should know by now that you'll never win against her." Miroku said simply.
"Feh. Who asked you, Monk." With that, Inuyasha stomped off, mumbling about stupid girls and Monks who needed to stay out of everyone elses business.
-------------------------------------Kagome's time-----------------------------------------------
"MOM! I'M HOME!" Kagome yelled as she walked through the front door.
"Back already?" Her mother called from the kitchen where she was making dinner. "Dinner is almost ready if you want to go get Sota, he's in his room playing video games."
"Alright. And is it okay if I skip dinner tonight? I have this really big test I need to study for."
"That's fine. Just don't forget that we're all going up to the cabin this weekend."
'That's IT! I could invite Sango and Miroku to the cabin and leave them there, forcing them to start talking again!' "About that, do you mind if we don't go but I invite some of my friends to go instead?"
"Why?"
"Well, you see, two of my friends, Sango and Miroku, had this big arguement and aren't talking to each other. So I thought that them being in a cabin for awhile alone would make them resolve their arguement and start talking again."
"I see. And when, if they agree to do this, will I be able to meet them. I'm sure not going to have two strangers living alone for a few weeks in our cabin."
"Once they come through the well on the way to the cabin. I'll get everything ready and Inuyasha will help. I'll go back tomorrow after my test and arrange everything."
"Sure, now go get Sota."
Kagome went to get Sota and then went up to her room to do some studying. At around 11:00 she decided to stop and go to bed.
----------------------------------The next day, after school-------------------------------------
(A/N: Yes, I am skipping ahead. The whole thing about Kagome's time at school would really be boring for me to write and I really don't feel like boring the innocent readers out of reviewing.)
'Finally! The last test of the semester is done and over with.' Kagome thought as she dumped her backpack on the kitchen table and proceeded to get ready for the time jump to Feudal Japan. She packed about 15 packs of Ramen for Inuyasha as a sort of 'peace-offering' from leaving like that, some chocolate for Shippo, and other things for Sango and Miroku (A/N: sorry, but I don't really know what they like from Kagome's time.), then went out the door toward the well house.
-------------------------------------------Feudal Japan------------------------------------------
"There you are! I would like an explanation about your sudden sitting me." Inuyasha said, obviously angry.
"Relax, I brought you ramen."
"Fine, I'll let it go for now but you aren't leaving this time for 3 weeks, got it?"
"Sure, whatever. Listen, tomorrow why don't you and I go to my time for a while?"
"Didn't you just hear me wench? I said you ain't leaving for 3 weeks."
"But I just need to take care of one more thing. Plus, you will be coming with me to make sure I come right back right?"
"Yeah, whatever. But only tomorrow, not another day longer."
"Okay."
"And after tomorrow, you will stay here for three weeks."
"But that gets in the way with what I have planned."
"What do you have planned anyway?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow, alright? Now I'll make you some ramen."
"Deal."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QJP: Well, Chapter 1 is done and completed again, hopefully for the last time. What did you all think? Oh, and if you wanted to know, this was 6 pages long.
BC: I think this was alot better then it was the first time. Not that the first one wasn't good or anything.
QJP: Yeah, I know, it's that way mostly because I basically forgot what the original first chapter was and had to start over from scratch to lead up with what happens in Chapter 2.
PLP: This time it was deffinetly better. Of course, I can't remember the first one either.
QJP: Well, that's another thing we have in common then, we have a very short term memory. I'm actually proud to say that mine's shorter then everyone's though. YAY SHORT ATTENTION SPAN! To end this author note, I should once again point out that reviews of any kind will be greatly accepted and appreciated. Even flames are okay since I know I'm not the BEST writer in the world. Besides, flames are fun, and pretty. Just take it from me and my friends who can't see a lighter without trying to steal it from me. Maybe that's why I love Baka-chan so much. ON TO CHAPTER 2!!!
