Disclaimer: I have better things to do with my time than steal

other people's stories; like shave my legs, draw fake tattoos on

me with a sharpie, and um ya, well, uhhh… The point is, is I don't

own him so don't sue me! More fic, c'min' at'cha!

Sitting on Monkeys

"Alright, woman, I'll do it. But don't you think that I won't try

and steal the Jewel afterwards."

"Granted." Kaede conceded to everyone's surprise.

"What…?" Kagome raised an eyebrow in question.

"Trust me, dear, have I ever steered ye wrong?" Kagome thought

back and, for the life of her, couldn't remember a single instance

where the woman had done or said a thing wrong. That's Kaede for

you. Maybe she should have been the Priestess…

"So ye agrees?" she asked once more.

"Yes!" he said a little exasperatedly. With that, Kaede picked

some rosary beads out of her pocket and placed them around

Inuyasha's neck. She turned to Kagome, "Say a spell and ye will

have minimal control over this hanyou. Try it out when ye free

him, but don't do it too excessively, alright?"

"Sure, I can handle that." Kagome said confidently.

"Oh, no…" Inuyasha groaned. These Priestess chicks were pretty

rough (A/n: remember, he is from our time this time). Kagome

beamed.

"Oh, no…" Kaede echoed, she could see what was coming.

"Sit!!!" Kagome yelled; before she had taken out the arrow.

"AAAAAHHHH!" Inuyasha yelped as the arrow dragged it's way up his

torso as some invisible force pulled him closer to the ground.

Kagome looked pleased.

"Okay, we can go now." she chirped.

"Bitch!" he yelled as Kagome pulled the arrow out of his torso and

he fell to the ground in a heap. She merely turned and started

walking off to the secret shrine which held Tetsusaiga. Inuyasha

got up, rather perturbed, and followed.

"We will go get Miroku and Sango from the village and meet ye back

here." Kaede called after Kagome.

"Come on." She told Kouga and they headed off to the Village.

Kouga groaned.

"Why do we have to get Sango and Miroku? I could protect her fine

on my own, even without Inuyasha!"

"Yeah, if ye did not run off all the time I would have half a mind

to do so!" Kaede responded.

"Oh, fine" Kouga resigned, knowing when he was beat. But this

Inuyasha character better not hurt his woman in any way. Kouga's

eyes narrowed. Or he was going to get it.

"Here" Kagome gestured to a hill.

"What? I don't see anything." Inuyasha examined the hillside.

Nope, definitely nothing there.

"Of course you don't, you're a demon." Kagome said as she suddenly

pulled a scroll out of thin air. Actually, she had pulled it off

the door.

"Hmmm…" Inuyasha grunted as a wooden shack materialized before his

eyes. Okay…

"Follow me." Kagome commanded. Inuyasha grumbled but obeyed.

Inside the shack there was a small shrine dedicated to the

Tetsusaiga. It had a scroll written by Kikyou about Inuyasha, how

they had gotten the sword together from his eye, and her hopes

that he would return for it. Inuyasha looked away; there was no

use in getting mushy now, she was gone. He looked at Kagome as she

picked the sword up off of its shelf.

"Hey! Don't touch that!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome looked at him and

smiled slightly.

"Okay…" she said. Oh this was going to be rich. She set the sword

back down on its shelf and stepped aside. "After you, Inu-san" she

bowed. Kagome had to bite her tongue to keep from bursting out

laughing.

"Thank you." Inuyasha said. This was a bit suspicious but he

didn't really care. He didn't want that wench touching his stuff.

"OUCH!!!" he yelped as his whole body convulsed with energy. He

slammed back against the wall of the shack and almost blew a hole

in it. Kagome picked up the sword and the scroll underneath it.

She giggled.

"It's a scroll used to protect the sword, just in case some pesky

demons actually made their way in here…" she giggled again.

'Damn she is so annoying.' Inuyasha thought. "You know, you're

nothing like Kikyou. She was much more sophisticated, collected,

and-hey! Where are you going?" Kagome had already started heading

out the door and looked back at him with one eye.

"You're right, I'm nothing like Kikyou. But you're nothing like

the man Kikyou spoke of either. So let's just go, okay?" Kagome

started back out the door. Inuyasha was speechless.

'Kikyou talked well of me to her grandchildren?' he thought,

amazed. 'Well I guess I fucked that up' he shrugged and got up to

follow Kagome.

Kaede and Kouga walked through the village looking for

Sango and Miroku. The finally found them. They were running

through the streets; or, more precisely, Miroku was running from

Sango who had her boomerang already flying after the definitely

freaked out monk.

"Throw a scroll at that PERV!" Sango yelled after him as she

cackled. Kaede and Kouga exchanged disturbed looks.

"Aw, shit." Miroku ground his teeth as his face met the dirt. He

had barely managed to dodge the boomerang. He was one lucky monk.

"Allow me to apologize my dear lady." Miroku smiled.

"Your dear nothin' monk," Sango stuck her nose in the air "you'll

pay. Nahahaha…" She laughed maniacally. (A/n: I really do like

Sango, I promise! And Miroku, too.)

"Enough of this, ye two can do this later. Now, both of ye come

here." Kaede filled the strange pair in on the situation.

"Hmmm…" Sango mused. "Okay, we'll help. Uh, is it just me, or does

Kouga have a red fluffy fox tail?" a sheepish smile appeared on

Kouga's face as he turned into Shippo. Kaede rolled her eyes (A/n:

no kidding…)

"Can't I go? Oh please Kaede-san, please!" he looked up at her

with his best moony-eyes. Everyone else rolled their own.

"Oh, I guess that would be alright." Kaede sighed. At least she

wouldn't have to take care of him for a while. "Okay guys, let's

go meet up with Kagome and Inuyasha!" Miroku started walking and

then stopped. Um, where exactly did they go?" he asked, looking at

Kaede.

" They went to collect the Tetsusaiga from Kikyou's shrine." Kaede

started walking the other direction and Miroku hurried to catch

up.

"Wait, so you're telling me that you left Kagome with Inuyasha and

then sent them to get the Tetsusaiga?" Sango asked in disbelief.

"How do you know that you can trust him?" Kaede smiled.

"Oh, ye just knows these things in ye's old age sometimes, dear."

Kaede loved pissing young people off sometimes, just to see them

tick. Nhahahaa…

"The shrine is this way." Kaede directed. They spotted Inuyasha

and Kagome just over the next hill and met up with the disgruntled

duo. Kaede guessed that they where already starting to get under

each other's skin.

"No, I do not have the same scary strong powers as Kikyou did when

you knew her, but I am also younger, so get off my back!" Kagome

yelled.

"Well, I was just saying that we wouldn't be in this mess if you

just had a sharper eye…"

"You don't seem to have figured out how to kill your brother yet

either, so shut your big mouth you half-blooded hanyou!"

"Nobody calls m-!" Inuyasha started to say.

"That is quite sufficient for now." Kaede interrupted calmly.

"This group better be on its way, before Sesshoumaru discovers the

Jewel of Four Souls on Hojo! Ye must be quick about this. Take the

western route and this money. Be gone with you!" Kaede dropped a

small money bag in Kagome's hand and walked back toward the

village.

"Okay, let's get going." Kagome said stiffly and gave Inuyasha a

cold glance, which he chose to ignore. Miroku grabbed for Sango's

butt and ended up with a face full of fist before he could really

grab… Shippo sighed. This was going to be an interesting trip.

(A/n: Okay, I promise it will be a romance! Just give me a little

time. Review please and I might be more inclined to write

faster…hmmm… Anywho, um, tell me if anything is horribly wrong!

Like my speelinng or sumthing…)

*Mwah*

Love,
