The End of the War
The war with the despicable hanyou, named Naraku, was finally over. It had taken the combined efforts of the Inuyasha gang, Sesshoumaru's unlikely pack, and Koga's steadfast determination to completely demolish the vile Naraku. But the battle was over, and now was a time for celebration and mourning for those that had been lost along the tragic path.
Inuyasha's P.O.V
Keh. This is pathetic. I ain't gonna let my stupid brother drink me under the table! I'm gonna to kick his ass this time! If only Kagome hadn't made me agree to that dumb thing about not attacking Sesshoumaru, I woulda beat him up! I mean, I was the one who killed Naraku; surely I coulda beat him after that! But nooo, I had to resort to challenging him to a sake drinking contest instead. Maybe the monk was right, and this was a bad idea. Nah, there's no way that pervert coulda been right! I'll just have to prove him wrong, just like I am gonna prove Sesshoumaru wrong, and anybody else who tells me I am weak!
Haahaaa… speakin' of the pervert monk, looks like Miroku is down for the count. *Snort* He only drank 15 cups of sake! I woulda figured that he would be able to last longer than that, but then again, he is only human I suppose. Keh, Sesshoumaru doesn't even look like the alcohol is affecting him. I am on my 36th cup and he is on his 54th. Doesn't alcohol have any effect on the frozen piece of demon flesh at all!
Woah! Everything is spinning, around and around and around… I gotta get a grip! I can't let Sesshoumaru beat me! This is my chance to prove I am more than any pathetic half-breed to him! Does that mean I want his approval? I must be really drunk if I am admitting that to myself, but he didn't even say good job or anything when I killed Naraku. Any sort of acknowledgement woulda been better than that arrogant little "Hn" he gave out when I asked him what he thought about my death blow. I mean, is it really to much for a nice little, "Good job, Inuyasha." or something! Keh, I don't even know why I bother anymore. Stupid Sesshoumaru.
Hey, it looks like the bastard's eyes are starting to get a little bit glazed over! Maybe I should ask him if he gives up yet, 'cause I think I am about to pass out. I mean, 48 cups of sake can do that to a half-demon! "Well Sshhoumaru, do ya give up yet, ya bastarddd?" is what I slurred out. I meant to say, "Oi, Sesshoumaru! Do ya wanna admit your defeat yet?!" I watched him blink once, and then I musta passed out 'cause the next thing I can remember is Kagome's face about three inches away from mine.
I think I yelled something accidentally 'cause Kagome fell right on her butt when I jerked my face away from hers so fast. I didn't mean to, but waking up thinking you were still in the middle of a drinking contest with your murderous older half-brother to instead find big brown eyes staring at you at very very close range is a bit startling! Looking around after I helped Kagome up, I realized that I musta been passed out for a while. The pervert, Miroku, and Sango were curled up together under a tree sharing the same sleeping roll. I wonder if it was voluntary on Sango's part? Oh well, doesn't really matter. Shippo and the little brat that always follows Sesshoumaru around were passed out beside that monstrous two-headed dragon that also, for some mysterious reason, followed Sesshoumaru around everywhere. The imp, Jaked? Jakel? Jaken? Jaken! That was the ugly thing's name was wrapped around a large bottle of sake near the fire muttering something about how pretty Sesshoumaru's hair was… That was just disturbing! I mean, it was a toad, and Sesshoumaru was… I wonder why Sesshoumaru keeps that disgusting thing around anyways! He's got the most annoying voice I have ever heard!
Wait, what was that Kagome said? Something about being drunk, I think. Wait, Kagome is drunk! Who gave Kagome sake? I am gonna kill whoever it was because Kagome doesn't handle her drink very well. I still remember that time we got drunk off of the fumes the Sake Sages made. Kagome was dancing around singing into her brush! I hope she doesn't do that again, her singing was very scary!
"Uh, Kagome? What did you say? I'm sorry, but I wasn't payin' attention, and didn't hear you." I asked her. Kagome looked up at me with her big brown eyes and said something I never expected in a million years. "Inuyasha, I… I think that I… hang on a second, I think I am gonna be sick!" Kagome then proceeded to throw up all over my beautiful Firerat robes. I was too shocked to move. I thought she was gonna tell me she loved me, and then I was gonna tell her that I loved her back. It was gonna be perfect! Damn the sake, anyways!
I grabbed Kagome before she fell down, which only managed to get her stomach's contents smeared all over her and me. We were both in desperate need of a bath at this point. I got the most brilliant plan I had ever had in my life! True, it was a bit Mirokuish, but at this point, we were both so drunk that maybe it wouldn't matter. I would take her to the hot spring and we would both get our bath, only we would do it together! What could be a better way to show her how much I loved her, than to help her clean up after her long, tiring day! Now I just gotta ask her…
"Kagome, I got sumthin' I want to ask you. Would you like to, uh, well, would you like to… clean up a little? I know where a hot spring is, and I could take you there if you would like." I had to look away from her. There was no way she was gonna say… wait, did she just say yes? "Yes, Inuyasha, I would love it if we went to the hot spring… together." *gulp* I think, that that was the most erotic thing that I have ever heard Kagome say. She sounded like she was trying to… seduce me! I was the one trying to do the seducing here!
Oh well, my Kagome was gonna take a bath with me at the hot springs! I could finally tell her how much I loved her, now that Kikyo was gone and the jewel was whole. I could finally stop worrying about her leaving me because the jewel seemed to have permanently opened the well to let her through to her time and mine. I could finally stop seeking the approval of my brother because I realized that if I had Kagome, it didn't matter anymore. Besides, that bastard wasn't tryin' to kill me anymore, so maybe we would be able to fix things between us now. I gotta say, ever since that little girl has been traveling with him, he sure has been a lot dfferent, but in a good way.
Bah! Why am I thinking about my brother at a time like this! Maybe it is because everything seems right now. Kagome loves me, I am accepted by humans and a some demons now, and Sesshoumaru seems to be the only thing left to fix. Maybe I should talk to Kagome about this? She always seems to know what to do about stuff like this, but I will save that for tomorrow. Right now, I am gonna show Kagome how much I love her, and who knows, maybe tomorrow Sesshoumaru will stop being a frigid asshole? Nah, not gonna happen, but I do know, that tomorrow I will love Kagome just as much as I do now, no amount of alcohol is gonna change that.
