((Since Miroku and Sango haven't solved their little problem, Shippou has another idea that might work.))
Shippou: Okay you two.
Sango: Huh?
Shippou: I'm shocked at you both!
Miroku: What?
Shippou: You haven't been able to spend even an hour together without whining and complaining!
(Shippou takes out some handcuffs and cuffs one of their hands together.)
Sango: Hey! What do you think you're doing?!
(Shippou smiles happily.)
Shippou: Instead of having just that finger trap on, you now have handcuffs on as well.
Sango: Shippou... I guess you're right..
(Shippou looks at Sango in surprise.)
Shippou: Huh?
(He steps foward to Sango.)
Shippou: See, I knew you...
(Shippou is hit on the head by Sango's fist.)
Miroku: eep...
(Shippou holds his head in pain.)
Shippou: oowwie!
(Shippou retreats and runs into one of the huts.)
Sango: You better get these off!!
Miroku: Calm down, Sango. Shippou-chan put these on us because he knew the trouble that we've been having in our relationship.
Sango: ...relationship?! What relationship?! ((I fear I might go insane if I'm attached to him like this forever...))
(Miroku sighs and lowers his head. Sango stops and looks at Miroku.)
Sango: ...
(Later that night, Inu-Yasha and the others are sitting around the fire in one of the village huts. Shippou is once again holding his head from Inu-Yasha's punch.)
Inu-Yasha: Heh. You still have that thing on?
Sango: Sad to say.. yes. What happened to the one that was on you, Inu-Yasha?
Inu-Yasha: I got it off.
Miroku: We can see that, but "how" did you get it off?
(Shippou stand up in front of Miroku.)
Shippou: You can't know! You must find out on your own, or you'll never learn!
(Inu-Yasha grins and then chuckles a little bit.)
Inu-Yasha: I have an idea, why not use one of your little tricks that will tie you and Kirara together?
Shippou: Why? I would know how to get it off anyway. And Besides, Kirara and I don't have any problems to work out. Isn't that right, Kirara?
(Kirara is in her small form. She walks to Shippou's side and nods. Everyone sighs. Kaede chuckles a little to herself.)
Kaede: Their hearts are still free.. A relationship that you three can create, is something that Kirara and Shippou-chan cannot do yet.
Sango: ...
Inu-Yasha: You'd be talking, baba.
(Inu-Yasha turns to face Shippou with a glare.)
Inu-Yasha: ...
(Shippou looks a little scared.)
Shippou: ((If I don't watch out, he'll get me while I'm sleeping.. I think I'll hide someplace where he won't even think about touching me.. heh..))
(An hour has passed by and moon is half full. The crickets have begun their chirping and the crisp, fresh air has set in across the land. Inu-Yasha is sleeping on the roof of the hut while Sango and Miroku are inside. Kirara, in her bigger form, is sleeping in between Miroku and Sango, as to make sure nothing happens. Shippou tip toes over to Sango and pokes her shoulder. Sango opens her eyes a little and sees Shippou.)
Shippou: I hope its not a bother, but can I sleep with you guys? I fear for my safety from Inu-Yasha...
(Sango nods and Shippou crawls into the sleeping bag, staying close to Kirara with Sango's back facing him.)
Shippou: ((Hah! Now he'll never come close to me.))
(Shippou sighs and ponders about this more.)
Shippou: ((All I want to do is to stop them from their pety arguements.. but they resist. Is it that they want to argue all the time? If so, these people are dumber than I thought. At least Kagome-chan was willing to work it out. But Sango and Miroku on the other hand...))
(Shippou sighs and goes to sleep.)
(When morning comes, he is surprised to see Kagome, along with Inu-Yasha, Sango and Miroku, all eating breakfast. Shippou gets up and yawns and rubs his eyes.)
Kagome: Hn? Good morning, Shippou-chan.
Shippou: Kagome? I thought you had that school thing?
(Kagome has a sweatdrop on the side of her forehead.)
Kagome: I do.. its just that.. my school got flooded from the rain last night.
Shippou: Rain?
Kagome: Yeah. So everyone got sent home.
Shippou: But its so early..
Kagome: Inu-Yasha brought me back.
(Shippou looks at Inu-Yasha with a surprised face.)
Shippou: ((He probably just wants her to look for more shards for him... ))
Inu-Yasha: What are you looking at, pup?!
Shippou: Nothing.
(Inu-Yasha looks very annoyed with Shippou, but trys to ignore him.)
Kagome: Sango-chan..
Sango: Yes?
Kagome: How will you guys fight if you're still attached like that?
Sango: Good point..
Miroku: ...
Kagome: Miroku, you wouldn't be able to use your air rip..
Miroku: I know. Any little mishap, and Sango might be sucked in.
(Sango has a look on her face thats like "omg! Why me?!?!". Miroku smiles again.)
Miroku: Don't worry, Sango. I'd never do such a thing to you.
Sango: Huh.....?!
(Sango realizes Miroku is rubbing her butt again and quickly slaps him, causing him to topple over. Shes blushing a little, but shivering at the same time.)
Shippou: ...((Maybe I should take it off them.. it doesn't seem to be working. Or maybe I just have to leave them alone for awhile.))
(Shippou runs over to Kaede and whispers something to her. Inu-Yasha scratches his head in confusion. A few minutes later, Shippou returns with Kaede.)
Kaede: Come now everyone. I need some help.
Kagome: Okay.
Inu-Yasha: ...
(Sango and Miroku get up, but Kaede puts her hand up, indicating them to sit back down.)
Sango: Kaede-sama?
Kaede: You two will stay here and guard the village.
(Kirara and Shippou follow along with the others. As they leave the others behind, Shippou looks back at them.)
Shippou: ((If this doesn't do it, then nothing will!))
(Sango and Miroku just stare at the others as they leave. Miroku looks at Sango with a depressed face.
Miroku: Sango..
Sango: What?
Miroku: Do you hate me so much?
Sango: Huh?
(Sango turns to face Miroku.)
Miroku: It seems that you don't like me very much. You wouldn't care if I just disappeared from this village forever.
Sango: Miroku..
Miroku: I can make that happen you know. That is... if you want.
Sango: Miroku! Stop saying such things!
(Miroku grabs ahold of the beads on his arm.)
Sango: Wait! Stop!
(Sango grabs Miroku by his arm. Miroku looks at Sango.)
Miroku: Yes?
Sango: Don't pull this! You know I wouldn't wish for such things! ((What is he doing? Hes acting like such a child..))
Miroku: I guess you're right. I should not waste me life.
Sango: Huh?
Miroku: I still have many things to look foward to. I'm sorry, Sango.
Sango: S ..sorry for what?
(Sango starts to blush a little.)
Miroku: For worrying you.
Sango: What?
Miroku: I now know how much you really care for me.
Sango: ...
Miroku: So I shall ask you again...
Sango: Eh?
(Miroku grabs Sango's hands and looks deeply into her eyes.)
Miroku: Will you bear my child?
Sango: grr...
(Sango slaps Miroku and faces the other way. Miroku is now on the ground, with a big slap mark across his face.)
Sango: ((Maybe I spoke too soon about him changing...When are the other planning on coming back?!))
(Back with the others... Inu-Yasha is helping Kaede cut a tree down for firewood. Inu-Yasha puts his hands on his hips and smirks.)
Inu-Yasha: Is that all you wanted, baba?
Kaede: For now anyway...
Kagome: Inu-Yasha.. I really wish you would be more polite to Kaede-sama.
Inu-Yasha: Feh!
(Shippou is on the horse's back with Kirara in her small form.)
Shippou: I wonder if anything happened yet...
(Kirara mews and scratches her neck with her backleg. Shippou sighs and watches the others as they chop up the tree into little logs. After they're done, the pieces of wood are tied up into little bundles and attached to the side of the horse. Inu-Yasha is left carrying two of the bundles. Kaede hops back onto her horse and starts to head back to the village.)
Kagome: Remember, I'm not staying here tonight. Just because my school was flooded today, doesn't mean it will be tomorrow. ((And I had an exam today.. phew.. it gives me more time to study.))
Inu-Yasha: Feh. Don't worry. I wasn't expecting you to stay here anyway. ((Although.. I can fix it so she DOES have to come back..))
(Inu-Yasha thinks about him breaking all the water pipes at Kagome's school and flooding it.)
(Meanwhile.. back at the village. Sango and Miroku are still attached to one another.)
Sango: ((I just hope that no demons come while we're like this...))
(Miroku is sipping up some of the soup that Kaede had made.)
Sango: Miroku...
Miroku: Yes?
Sango: Please stop your little hobby of harassing other girls.
Miroku: Huh? What makes you think that I...
(Sango turns around and glares at Miroku. Miroku jumps back, a little scared.)
Sango: ...
Miroku: But!
(Sango turns around again. Miroku sighs and rests his hand on Sango's shoulder.)
Miroku: If it will make you happy... I shall do so.
(Sango looks shocked and turns around to face Miroku.)
Sango: You..
Miroku: I will no longer do that.
Sango: Are you telling the truth?
Miroku: Of course.
(Mirou has a serious face as he stares at Sango. Sango smiles slightly.)
Sango: Miroku..
(The fingertrap that was on them, disppears, but the handcuffs are still attached to them. They both look down at their hands.)
Sango: The fingertrap..
Miroku: Its gone.
Sango: But then why are the handcuffs...
Miroku: I'm not sure.
(They both look up to see the others, off in the distance as they return. Miroku and Sango walk over to them. Inu-Yasha stops in front of them, still carrying the two bundles of wood over his shoulder.)
Inu-Yasha: So.. What have you two been up to?
Miroku: Just discussing some things.
(Shippou jumps at Miroku and Sango and hangs onto their hands. He searches their hands for the fingertrap, but doesn't find it, so he jumps back down.)
Shippou: The fingertrap..
Sango: Yes, its gone.
Shippou: ((But.. how?! These two could have never...gotten along.))
Miroku: Why the confused look, Shippou?
(Shippou has a sweatdrop on the side of his head.)
Shippou: Oh.. its nothing.
Kagome: Kaede.. where do you want the firewood.
(Kaede is still riding on her horse.)
Kaede: Just follow me, child.
(Kagome and Inu-Yasha follow Kaede. Shippou starts to walk off when Kirara (in her big form), stops him.)
Shippou: Kirara?
Sango: Shippou.
(Shippou turns around and sees Miroku and Sango.)
Miroku: Tell us how to get these things off..
Shippou: Eh..
(Miroku grabs Shippou by the back of his shirt.)
Miroku: Well?
Shippou: Um.. I..
(Shippou breaks free from Miroku's grasp and lands on the ground. He takes out one of his little stone figures and puts it on Miroku's other hand and slaps a spell scroll onto it. The stone figure gets bigger, unableing Miroku to move from where he is.)
Shippou: Sorry about that.. but I gotta go!
Sango: Shippou!
Miroku: Where are you going?!
(Shippou has a sweatdrop on the side of his head again.)
Shippou: I thought you two would have figured it out by now..
Miroku: What?
Shippou: I can't get that off of you.
Sango: Huh?!
Shippou: Those are handcuffs.. you need a key. Of which I currently don't have.
(Miroku and Sango look at Shippou in disblief.)
Shippou: See ya.
(Shippou walks off with Kirara. He takes out the key from his pocket and tosses it into one of the little water holes. Inu-Yasha walks back over to Miroku and Sango, who are still in the same position from when Shippou left them. He notices that Shippou's statue toy is on Miroku's hand and chuckles.)
Inu-Yasha: I'll just leave you two alone. Heh.
(When he tries to get past them, Sango, with her free hand, picks up her boomerang and throws it at Inu-Yasha.)
Inu-Yasha: GAAHH!
(Inu-Yasha runs away from Sango and hides behind Kagome. Kagome looks down at Inu-Yasha, then over to Sango and Miroku.)
Kagome: Whats wrong?
(Inu-Yasha points to Sango.)
Inu-Yasha: Shes dangerous..
(Kagome giggles.)
Kagome: ((If you say so Inu-Yasha.. if you say so...))
(THE END) ^_^;
Shippou: Okay you two.
Sango: Huh?
