Youko: . . . . . . . . .

Miyu: . . . . . . . .

Kitsunehime: What's wrong with you two?

Shippou: Did they eat something funny? Like when Inutaishou tried to fry eggs and they turned out looking and tasting like shit?

Inutaishou: Hey!

Kagome: Shippou! Who taught you to swear?! I bet it was Inuyasha, wasn't it?! Osuwari!

Inuyasha: Aaauugghh! *bam*

Kitsunehime: -_______- You still haven't answered.

*ten minutes later*

Kitsunehime: ok, so you're not going to answer? Fine, then I'll just go show these to everyone else. *waves Youko and Miyu chibi plushies around* Aren't they just so cute? *huggles them*

Youko and Miyu: No! Don't!

Kitsunehime: Then start talking! *still hugging the chibis*

Titian: I bet it has something to do with the bathtub thing in the last chapter, eh? Upset that she didn't let you continue, hmm?

Kitsunehime: Oh! That's what's upsetting you two? What, you wanted me to write a lemon? You could have just continued once the scenes switched.

Sakuya: *sees them both turn bright red and mumble* Bet you both feel really stupid right about now, ne?

*mumble*mumble*

Lucivar: Forget them, they're hopeless. Do you know when Mori no Kage's finally going to post her story?

Kitsunehime: No. Do I look like I know what's going on in my dear *cough*cough* little sis's head? She said she keeps forgetting to turn on her computer and type.

Mori no Kage: *yelling from next room* Shut up! I have it all on paper!

Kitsunehime: *Yelling back* Then post it already!

Mori no Kage: I did!

Kitsunehime: Good for you! *turns back to computer* Hey, who closed out the media player? *catches Surreal sneaking away* How dare you! You closed out one of my new favorite songs!

Rin: And that song would be . . . ?

Kitsunehime: Wild Wind, sung by the voice actors of Kurama and Hiei! Now go away while it's playing.

Saetan: Uh, don't you have to write the chapter?

Kitsunehime: Kuso! I forgot. Me no own, you no sue, read and have a bad day. Just kidding! Oh, and I got kind of bored with the neutral POV, so I'm now going to switch around, ok? Tell me if it's better or worse.







To Rule the Darkness

ch. 20 The Lecher's Grand Appearance



Sango's POV


We stood out there for what was probably ten minutes or so, then a girl with long black hair and brown eyes opened the door. She was probably sixteen or so.

"Hello, how can I help you?" she inquired.

"Would you do me the honor of bearing my child?" I fell over. That stupid Miroku . . . "I mean, a lovely lady such as yourself . . . "

As soon as she felt his hand on her butt, she screeched and punched him. Hard. Right in the face. I grinned. "Nice punch. Sesshoumaru sent us to find someone called Inutaishou." Behind me, Souta and Kohaku hurried to catch the lecher before he hit his head on the cold stone and give himself an ingloriously gory end.

The girl at the door seemed startled that she knocked Miroku out, but quickly got over it. "Oh, welcome! Why don't you all come in, we're having dinner right now, so you can just sit down and eat." When I opened my mouth to ask her name, she interrupted. "Save the introductions for later, in front of everybody so you don't have to repeat anything." Well, that did make sense.

Kohaku and Souta dumped Miroku onto Kirara's back and we all began to follow her down the hall. We eventually arrived at a huge, open room with large sheets of clear glass taking up most of the wall space. Heavy black and red curtains hung from the ceiling, presumably to shade the room's occupants when the sun was too bright. A sparkling black and red crystal chandelier hung from the high ceiling, and candle holders of the same colors held white tapers that lit the whole table up softly. All sitting around it were dressed formally in rich colors and patterns.

Souta and Kohaku stopped in the middle of the doorway, awed. Well, to be fair, I was awed too, but at least I didn't gape. I heard coughing behind us and quickly turned around.

The first thing I saw was a pair of piercing silver eyes. They belonged to a rather tall, beautiful lady with long, straight silver hair and furry-looking ears on top of her head, wearing a white silk kimono embroidered with silver roses around the hem. She was accompanied by a slightly taller man with equally stunning looks, except with golden eyes, wearing a white kimono and pale grey hakama bordered in black and gold along the bottoms. The lady coughed again and I realized I was staring.

"Gomen nasai," I murmured as I moved out of the way and they sat down. I noticed that another man who looked very similar to them make a comment to them about enjoying themselves in the bath, and they both told him to stuff it. By this time, Miroku seemed to be returning to the world of consciousness. Unfortunately.

Our guide waited until everyone at the table settled down, then cleared her throat. "We have some new Court members!" she announced. "This is . . . " It seemed she suddenly remembered that she didn't know our names either.

So I introduced us. "I'm Sango, this is my younger brother Kohaku, he's Souta, Kirara's my cat, and the half-conscious lecher's Miroku."

At the mention of his name, he seemed to wake up completely. And, to my dismay, the dashed right up to the table. "Oh lovely ladies," he began. I slapped my hand over my face in frustration. "Will you bear my children?"

The man in white immediately grabbed a fork and tried to stab him with it, snarling that he had better stay away from his mate. The lady right next to him tried to take away the fork and replace it with a knife. Across the table, a lady with past-shoulder-length black hair shrieked and threw a tomato at the hentai. The man next to her who had made the bath comment leapt up and lunged towards him with another fork in his hand. Another lady with silver hair proceeded to strangle Miroku. The Healer-Queen with a wide ribbon tied around her throat just stared.

The man next to her laughed and said, "You want her to bear your child? Not possible, she's dead." Seeing as Miroku was practically dying now, he rescued him from the other angry occupants of the room. "I'm Inutaishou, Sesshoumaru's demon-dead father, Demon Lord of the Western Lands and High Lord of Hell."

The woman next to him blinked and said, "My name is Sakuya, also one of the demon-dead. I'm the main Healer here."

The lady who tried to strangle Miroku to death announced herself as Fahleing, High Priestess of Dog Forest. The others introduced themselves after her. (You readers should know who they all are by now, so I won't put them here again. It gets too boring that way.) Then we sat down to eat.

It wasn't until after they showed us around and I settled into my room next to Shippou's that I finally remembered why Kagome's name and title sounded so familiar. But I was too tired to do anything about it.


Next morning~


After dressing in a simple pink and white kimono, I went to look for Souta. I wasn't really paying attention when the others were given rooms, so I had to try a couple of doors. They didn't have time to put signs on our doors yet, so I only knocked on the ones with none. The door across from mine was unlocked.

Miroku was inside, asleep, leaning against the wall. I shook him to wake him up.

"Huh, wha? Oh, morning, Sango," he said yawning. Then I saw the cup in his hand that he was previously pressing to the wall. He noticed what I was staring at and grinned his perverted little grin. "There were some interesting sounds last night."

"You hentai!" I yelled, whacking him with a chair. He fell unconscious with a satisfying thud after a couple more good whacks. Huffing, I went to the room right next to his and finally found Souta.

"Good morning Sango," he said, rather sleepily.

"Souta, you know how your mother said your sister's . . . " I began. But he caught on quickly.

"The High Priestess of the Shikon no Tama!"







Again, sorry for the short chapter and cliffhanger. I wanted to get something up before I left again. Just when I get to start updating again, my mom drags me to New Hampshire . . . . grr . . . PLEASE review so I have something to be happy about when I get back! Onegai gozaimasu!

And, could someone please help me with the summary for this thing? I always seem to come up with really retarded ones . . . HELP! My only requirements are: it has to be interesting (duh!), and it has to mention the main pairings (Sess/Rin, Inu/Kag, and Mir/San) and that the rating's mostly for language. Oh, and you can't give too much of the story away. That's all.

Oh, and one more thing: Is the first-person POV alright with you people? Or do I really suck at it?

And please check out my little sister Mori no Kage's new story, it's called "Lykouleon's Wedding," listed under Dragon Knights. It's pretty hilarious, especially the disclaimer parts. In my opinion, anyways.

hellraiser: Really? Well, that's good . . . But, still, how could they kill him?! Waah!

Ja!
