I love this story bunches!



Chapter 10: Shady Shio



Inu Yasha sat Kagome down on a tree stump. They were going to rest at a nice sandbar by a lake that night. Shippou spoke up, "Who's cooking tonight?" Which was practically like saying, "Let's have war!"

Then Shio stepped foreward. "I'll cook!"

"You?" Inu Yasha said. "When did you learn how to cook?"

Shio sat in front of the fire and looked over what he had to work with. "Fifty years is a long time, man."

Mike barked at Kagome and nudged her arm.

"What's wrong with him?" Inu Yasha asked.

"I think he needs to go for a 'walk.'" Kagome said.

Inu Yasha thought then realized what she meant. "Ewwww! Tell him to walk himself!"

"Could you do it, Inu Yasha?" Kagome said. "I need to put my eye drops in."

Inu Yasha glared at the dog then grabbed it by the collar and dragged it out into the woods.

Shio watched him disappear. He looked over at Kagome whom had just taken her blindfold off. He smiled evilly and turned to the other three. "Okay, I'm going to need some things!" he said. He pointed at Miroku, "Priestman, you find me a type of leaf shaped like long thin arrows and striped roots." He pointed at Sango, "Babe, you get me an orange fruit shaped like a square."

"Do those even exist?" she asked.

"Hey! Who's the chef here!" Shio said. Then he pointed at Shippou, "Meat, go get me a blue flower with red thorns."

He shooed the three of them off. As soon as they disappeared from sight he smiled in his evil way. Kagome opened one of her eyes and put a drop of the medicine in. "You must be a master chef! What kind of herbs are those?"

"I don't know, I made them up." He said. "It was to get rid of them." The next drop missed her eye and slid down her cheek. She grabbed a tissue to wipe it. "Excuse me?"

Shio turned to face her. He smiled and asked, "What's it like being a reincarnation?" he asked.

Kagome's heart sank. "How did you know?"

"I didn't!" he said. "You just told me!"

Kagome sweatdropped and tried to get her other eye without being bothered. "Actually, I picked some book out of your bag that said you were. It was brown and smooth-"

"You read my diary?!" she said.

"Only that one thing, I was just suspicious as to who you were." He said. He sat himself next to her. She had to close her eyes to let the eyedrops sink in. But she wished she had them open. Seeing a pervert through blurry vision was better then not seeing him at all!

Kagome frowned and said, "Listen, you! You'd better not try anything or-"

He put an arm around her shoulder startling her. "Now I'm not sure I like this accusation." He said smiling at her. "Would I really be that kind of friend? To get my best friend's woman alone with me, then when she can't see at all, I pull her skirt up over her head, make love to her, then steal her shikon shard and run?"

Kagome trembled wishing he'd back off.

Then he exploded in harsh laughter. Kagome turned her head in paranoia. Then to her relief he went back over to the fire and poked at it with a stick. "Inu Yasha found himself a cute one that's for sure!"

"What?" Kagome blushed. Then she realized her position. If she were to say that she wasn't Inu Yasha's girlfriend, then who knows what that demon would do to her. (AN: We can only imagine! oO)

"He is your man, is he not?" Shio asked looking back at her.

"Huh?!" she laughed fakely. "Oh-ak-of course he is! I mean we are so tight! Yes siree! Tight as the law will allow!"

Shio snorted and continued to prod the fire. That was when Miroku, Sango, and Shippou came in with the ingredients and dropped them in Shio's lap, surprising him. "Hah? What the seven hells!?" he looked at the ingredients. "You all actually found that stuff?!"

"Yeah! It wasn't far from here, either!" Sango said. She went over and sat by Kagome.

Shio looked over at the girl then leaned over toward Miroku, "Say, is she with you?"

"Oh, yeah!" Miroku said with a smile.

Sango threw a spatula at his head. "He's lying! The letch!"

Shio smiled mischieviously and whispered to Miroku, "Your right! She wants you BAD!"

Miroku sighed and a lump grew on his head.

"I bet I could get her to say she wants to bear your child!" Shio said.

"For real?!" Miroku's eyes grew wide.

Shio winked, "How much you want for those sweet words?"

"Whatever you want!" Miroku said. "You can't do it!"

Shio's eye's twinkled, "If I make her say it, then you've got to be my servant for the whole time I travel with you."

"Deal." Miroku said not thinking he could do it.

Shio's eyes twinkled again. He made the food and served it when Inu Yasha and Mike got back. He went over and sat next to Sango comfortably. She looked at him suspiciously, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I don't eat human food." He said. "I'll probably go hunt a horse later." He said. Ushi stirred nervously. He smiled at Sango. "Do you want to bear Miroku's child?" he asked.

Sango blushed angrily, "No way! He's a total perv!"

Shio looked over at Miroku who gave him an 'I told you so' glance. But Shio stayed confident. He asked her, "Are you a girl?"

"Yes!"

"Are you straight?"

"Yes!"

"Is Kagome just your friend?"

"Yes!"

"Is Inu Yasha just your friend?"

"Yes!"

"Do you want to bear Miroku's child?"

"YES!"

"HAH!" Shio shouted. "Gotcha!"

Miroku spit his soup all over the place.

Sango blushed furiously, "No fair! He tricked me!" She turned to her left and somehow, Miroku had materialized next to her. She jumped in shock at his smiling face. "I DON'T!" she shouted.

"Saaaaangoooooo," he said cupping her chin in his hand.

"Back off!" she smashed her bowl over his head and stomped over to the opposite side of camp. "Sorry about the bowl, Kagome."

"No problem." ;;;

Shio snapped his fingers, "Oh, servant boy!"

"She won't give me a child!"

"There was nothing in the agreement about her actually DOING it, as long as she SAID it! I won the bet! Now clean up the mess!" Shio said.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Shio! Don't worry his description will be written in the coming of chapters. I have a problem with knowing where to fit them in.
