Chapter 8: Sure! Why not?

****************************************************************************

Inuyasha and Iliana spent the entire day outside. They decided that day was devoted to

themselves. Every moment was filled with some sound, whether it be with talk, laughter, or thuds of

one or both of them being pushed to the ground. When Miroku and Sango hadn't come back that

morning, the went on a walk together down to the river, where Iliana 'accidently' pushed Inuyasha into

the water. She tried to run away, but her laughter hindered her speed and quickly she was picked up

and thrown into the river, also. After, splashing around the river they went back to Kaede's hut and

dried off, still 'picking' on each other as if they had been together for their entire lives. Shippou even

made a joke about them when they came back all wet, being "instant siblings, just add water."

In the early afternoon, Miroku and Sango finally returned with their weapons and a cart load of

supplies that Miroku said that the villagers insisted on giving to him for payment of him casting out evil

spirits from shrine's and huts. When they returned, Inuyasha and Iliana were off again somewhere else.

Kaede told them of a new face, but nothing else was said about this girl. Completely worn out from the

journey, and smacking Miroku for groping her, Sango laid down with Kirara and fell fast asleep.

Miroku though was too interesting in the new female face to sleep, though he was exhausted himself.

He was sitting by the door of the hut when he saw Inuyasha come up from a walking path in the

forest, carrying on his back a short, quite shapely, unusually clad, red haired human beauty. She had a

sleepy smile on her face, obviously warn out from something.

"I told you, you should've tried to get some sleep," he heard Inuyasha say to the girl.

She yawned loudly and tried to say something, but the only thing he picked up was, "Yeah,

yeah, whatever."

He stood to greet the hanyou and his new companion, with a smile on his face and a glimmer in

his eye.

"Ili, wake up. You got to watch yourself around this guy," Inuyasha whispered in her ear.

She lifted her head and opened her eyes to see the monk looking at her. She jumped off her

back and said in a cheery, girlish voice, "You must be Miroku," she said holding out her hand. "I'm

Iliana."

Miroku graciously took it. He lowered his head and kissed the back side of her hand. "It's a

pleasure to meet you, Iliana. It has been awhile since I have met a woman with such beauty."

Iliana blushed at his remark. Inuyasha on the other hand, growled deep in his throat and gave

Miroku the death glare.

Knowing Inuyasha couldn't possibly have claim over this girl, sure that Inuyasha could never

just forget about Kagome and move on, he persisted in his charming ways. He held her hand and

ignored the glares and growls from Inuyasha. Finally, after talking to her and sufficiently buttering her

up, he popped the question and asked, "Will you bear my child?"

"Back of you lecher!" yelled Inuyasha as he ripped her hands away from his.

But she raised her eyebrows thoughtfully and stayed silent for a moment. Afterwards so looked

straight at the monk and gave him a corky smile. With a playful voice she said, "Sure, Slick! Why not?"

and

jumped onto Miroku, knocking him down onto his back. She then pinned him down by straddling his

waist and held his arms down with her own. Leaning down to him, she gave him a hyperactive smile.

Inuyasha's eyes grew incredibly large. "What the hell?!" he screeched. He tried to pull Iliana

off the monk, but she looked at him and winked before turning back to Miroku. That's when he

noticed that he wasn't the only one caught off guard by this.

Miroku wriggled underneath Iliana. Never expecting her to be so forward, he was completely

taken aback by her. He had even noticed, she slightly started to grind her lower body into him. He

totally lost his voice. The only thing he was able to say was, "I ah...ah...what are you...you're ah..."

"What's a matter, Slick? You asked me to bear your child? Isn't this what you want?" she said

coyly, letting go of his hands, and putting them onto her hips.

"I ah...I wasn't...."

"What? Serious?"

"No...I..."

"Ili, get off that pervert and get inside the hut," said Inuyasha sarcastically as he walked past

them and into the hut.

"Whatever you say, Yashie," she said through her giggles. She rose from the ground and gave

him her hand and helped him up. She gave him another smile before turning to go into the hut.

Miroku was in shock, his limbs weren't listening to his brain telling him to move. All he could

do was stare at the retreating girl with his jaw opened. The only thing he could think of for the next few

minutes was what she had said before leaving. "Yashie??"

When Iliana got into the hut she turned to see someone sleeping on the futon with a furry cat

with two tails curled up next to her. "Is that Sango?" she asked

"Yes, and she's doing what you should be," he said pointing at Sango. "But first..." Inuyasha

turned to her and placed his hands on her arms. He sighed and shook his head. "Ili, what the hell were

you thinking?" he asked.

She laughed for a moment before explaining her knowledge of men like Miroku. "In my time

where I live, you run into a lot of guys who think there all slick and God's gift to women. Ninety-nine

percent of the time, if you respond to them in a challenging way, he won't know how to react, and ask

you to back off," she said.

He thought for a moment and decided that explanation was acceptable. But then a thought

crossed him mind. "So, what happens if you find a guy in the other one percent?" he said curiously.

"Well, those are the guys that, unfortunately, get their ass kicked," she said smartly.

Inuyasha laughed at her comment, but he also expected her to say something along the line of

kicking someone's ass.

Iliana yawned widely as Miroku walked into the hut. He kept his eyes locked onto her as he

walked around the hut, staying against the wall, as far away from her as he could before sitting down in

the far corner. Inuyasha laughed under his breath when he saw Iliana wink at Miroku and he tilted his

down so she couldn't see his reddened face.

"Come here, Ili," said Inuyasha, sitting with his back against a wall.

Iliana walked over to him and plopped down next to him. He wrapped his arm around her

shoulder and she placed her head on his lap. She yawned one last time before closing her eyes and

letting sleep take her.

Miroku looked up to Inuyasha and gave him a questioning look. "Yashie?!" he asked loudly.

"Shh! I want her to sleep until I take her to get Kagome," he whispered to him.

Iliana stirred a little and drew in a breath. "Oh, Yashie. You're the best big brother ever," she

whispered before slumbering again."Big brother!?" Miroku said standing up stunned with the

information he just received.

"Shut up! I don't want you to wake up my sister," was all he said, deciding he'd tell Sango and

Miroku both later.



A few hours later, when the sun was still bright and shining, Iliana finally woke up to a loud

bang. She was startled and bolted up. Finding herself on the futon instead of on the floor with her

hanyou pillow, she looked around trying to locate the others and where the bang came from. She was

getting frustrated when she couldn't find anyone. One hand went to her bared hip as the other one

fingered her navel ring, a habit she picked up when she first got it. "Hello?!" she called.

BANG! "Ow!"

"Ah-ha!" she claimed, and she turned to go outside, where the yell of pain came from. Walking

outside. The burning sun somewhat blinded her. She flew her arms over her eyes. She stepped and

tripped over her own two feet, falling forward. Before she hit the ground, she fell into the arms of her

ever protective brother.

He stood her back up and smiled at her. "So, you're stubborn and klutzy?" he laughed.

"Well, I was voted most likely to be known for my writing talent, and not my balance," she said

with the straightest face she could muster.

"Oh! Stubborn, klutzy, and a smart ass," Inuyasha commented .

She was about ready to come back at him with another snood remark when yet another bang

and "Ow!" came from behind her. She turned to see Miroku was a red hand print across his face and

a very perturbed girl with long black hair moving away from him with the cat with two tails in her arms.

"Miroku, when will you learn?" said Shippou jumping onto Iliana's shoulder.

"Yeah, Slick. If you were doing what it looks like you were doing, you should try and take

Triple X's advice on this one," Iliana said with a smile.

Him and Sango were giving her a weird look. They were about ready to ask her who she was

talking about, when Inuyasha gave them both a knowing glace. Then, they remembered him telling

them of the 'nick name' thing that Iliana had. While Iliana slept, Sango had woken up and Inuyasha

moved Iliana to the futon as he talked to his companions. He retold them the story he had to Kaede the

last night. They were both elated to know of Inuyasha's sister. Sango even told him that she thought it

was wonderful that he had a little sister to be with, to always have someone there for him. Inuyasha

merely gave her a "Feh!" even though she knew he agreed with her.

After their confused look left their faces, Iliana turned to the girl who stood at least six inches

taller then her, stretched out her hand and said with her lips curled up, "We haven't been properly

introduced. I'm Iliana, and you must be Sango."

"Yes," Sango said taking the girls hand and shaking it. "It's nice to meet you." The cat in her

arms mewed. "Oh, and this is Kirara."

"Well Hello, Kitty," she said scratching the cat's head.

"I'm so happy you're going to be helping us now. You seem to be good for Inuyasha, also,"

Sango said looking towards Inuyasha, who snarled at her.

Iliana looked at him and he immediately stopped. The all chuckled at his reaction. "Feh! I

don't know why you guys are laughing! Ili and I have to be going anyway," kneeling in front of her.

"Where to, Yashie?" she asked.

"I want you to go with me to get Kagome. That way you can meet her.""I'm looking forward

to it." She ran it and retrieved her duffle before clinging to his back.

He sped off towards the bone-eaters well and in a flash, they were both just a tiny speck.

"So, what do you think Kagome will think of Iliana?" Miroku asked Sango.

"Well, after she finds out she's his sister and not competition, she'll love her," she said playfully.
