My first fic! *sniff* I'm so proud! Just to let you all know, there is absolutely no point to this story. It's a one shot for entertainment purposes only, and is not going anywhere. Still, I thought it was cute. R&R, flame if you want. Just tell me what you think. I'm mostly using little things like this to work on my style and dialogue, so please tell me what you think! Disclaimer: I'm so poor, right now I can't even buy the school lunches. Thus, unless someone wants to buy him for me, I do not own Inu-Yasha. *sticks out tounge at lawyers* so there! And now, on with the show!

Never Mess With a Woman Who Reads

The Inu group was taking a brief rest for a few days. They had come out of their last battle alive, but were tired enough that even Inu-Yasha did not object to the respite.
Miroku took a boat he had found out into the lake they were camped by and began to fish. When he came back in an hour or so later, Sango and Kagome took the boat very quickly in hopes of escaping the monk's wandering hands.
They rowed out of the lake by way of the small, placid river leading from it, and soon found a nice shady spot to anchor. Kagome proceeded to take out a book and read while Sango went over her boomerang and made sure it hadn't been damaged in the last fight.
After a while, the local game warden rowed up in his boat and pulled alongside the women. "Good morning, Ma'am," He said, addressing Kagome. "What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replied, thinking isn't it obvious? She didn't say it, though. This guy gave her the creeps. Sango looked up from her boomerang to watch the confrontation with narrowed eyes.
"This river is a restricted fishing area," he informed her, leering.
"I'm sorry, Sir, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading," Kagome stated firmly.
"Yes," he said, his manner oily and condescending. He gestured to the bottom of the boat. "But you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'm going to have to take you before the lord of these lands."
Inu-Yasha had told her about the lord of the lands, and there was no way Kagome was going to see him. He was horribly cruel. However, he did have these nasty little rules about not touching a woman who didn't want to be touched...Kagome thought fast.
"If you do that, I'll have to take you before him for sexual assault."
"But I haven't even touched you!" cried the warden.
"True," Kagome said dryly. "But you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."
"Have a nice day, Ladies." The warden rowed away very quickly.
Sango stared at Kagome. "What?" She asked defensively. "It's commonly known, at least in my time, that you should never mess with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think."
Sango surrendered to hysterical laughter and turned to row back to the camp. She had to remember that one and use it on Miroku some time.
