I don't own Inuyasha or anything having to do with this show. I also don't
own anything else quirky that may show up. (Including the movie Little
Nicky.) I only do this for entertainment purposes, (and an excuse to avoid
my homework:). So don't sue and enjoy the fic!
To read more of my fanfictions (sorry, not Inuyasha^^') then check out my site. http://takeoff.to/teardrop
BTW, if any of you have an internet site that would like this story, please feel free to take it. I tried one major site, and two minor sites. One said it was...yeah, and the others never got back to me. It was over about a month ago too, so it would be REALLY sweet if any of you could tell me you want this for your site. Otherwise, it'll just hang out at my little Gundam Wing site (When I put it up anyhow.)
The Feudal Fairy Tale Begins Again...

Chapter Twenty Four: The half-youkai Elmo Yarka?
****************************************************
That morning as they all set off for their journey to who-knows-where, there was surprisingly little complaining from Sly. Although there was...
"Wait! Wait up, Elmo Yarka!"
"Hey! Let's stop and look at that Ecko Nasha!"
"Inuyashtray! Can we eat now?!"
"Ello Yacka! My Kimono got tangled up!"
"Ino Habrains!" Sly shouted at Inuyasha for the millionth time.
Inuyasha had passed the stage of being upset that morning. He was now becoming pissed. 'How dare my pup think he can keep defying me!' "That's it!" he barked angrily as he stopped walking. He looked back at Sly, who looked back at him innocently. "Okay pup, I've been looking the other way at your behavior, because well...you're my pup and, hell I'd probably do the same thing, but enough is ENOUGH!"
"Inuyasha." Kagome said calmly. "Settle down."
Apparently, Inuyasha forgot he was a dad for a second as he started to point at Sly and whine. "But he started it! He won't say my name right!"
Miroku, Sango and Shippou all watched the family quarrel.
"It sure seems more homey now that Kagome's here, eh Sango?" Miroku asked as he smiled at Sango.
Sango couldn't help but smile. She had to agree with Miroku. Things certainly were not dull with Kagome and her son around.
Shippou just stared at the whining Hanyou and wished he still had some of that good chocolate Kagome used to bring from her own time.
Kagome huffed. "Inuyasha, he's just trying to get a rise out of you."
Inuyasha barked. "Well, he's pretty accomplished it!"
Sly twitched his ears innocently toward Inuyasha. "What? You're a professional idiot? Congratulations."
Inuyasha's mouth plopped open. He stammered for a come back, and eventually looked back at Kagome for help.
Sly suddenly lowered his ears in a sad manor. 'Time to live up to my new name.' he smiled on the inside, while on the outside he looked pleadingly toward his mom.
"I can't help it. I'm trying to learn everyone's name, but it's hard." Sly said softly. He pointed toward Miroku. "That's Miroka." Then he pointed next to Miroku at Sango. "And that's Sungo." Then he pointed innocently at Inuyasha. "But I'm still having trouble with his name. It's harder."
Inuyasha grumbled and looked back at Kagome. She wouldn't believe the pup, would she? He looked back at Sly and found himself wondering if the pup was telling the truth. I mean, he did look really innocent...'Wait!' Inuyasha's mind screamed at him. 'He's Kagome's pup too! He's messing with your mind, don't be fooled!'
Kagome looked at Kawayou. He really did look like he genuinely was telling the truth. 'Well, he never did say his name too much. I guess he could be...' "Actually, it's not Miroka and Sungo. It's Miroku and Sango...I never knew you had such trouble learning names." she said as she looked gently toward her son. It was true that she never let him associate with too many people. It was just too dangerous, so only close family and friends knew him. It was one of the terrors she had also faced when she was trying to get him into a school.
"That's why I just labeled her Tough Chick and stuff." Sly replied as he pointed toward Sango. "But since I'm staying here right now, I thought I should try and learn everyone's name." he said as he started to shuffle his feet.
Inuyasha felt his stomach churn as Kagome, Sango, Shippou, even Miroku was smiling at Sly. Sweet and Innocent His pup was NOT!
"Can we get going now Elmo Yarka?" Sly asked as he looked innocently in Inuyasha's directions.
"It's Inuyasha pup, and just call me dad or father!" Inuyasha shouted. "It's ten times easier!"
"But...." Sly began.
Inuyasha didn't like the look his pup was giving him.
"I...It's just a label..." Sly said softly. "When I call you father or dad..." He started to fidget with his fingers. "...I want it to be because I'm ready. Until then, isn't it just a label?"
Inuyasha just stood there with his mouth open. Oh Kami, his pup did it again!
"Oh..." Kagome said softly as she looked at her son. "I didn't know you felt that way." She turned toward Inuyasha and looked at him. "He's right Inuyasha. We shouldn't force everything like that on him at once. I think he should call you 'dad' when he's ready. Can you wait?"
'Wait?! It's a word Kagome, and he's just using it as an excuse and there's no way I-'
Kagome started giving him a pleading look. You could see that her eyes were all round, and maybe even a little watery...
'****.' Inuyasha thought. He had no way to combat her when she had that sad please-say-yes-or-you-might-make-me-cry look in her eyes. "...okay." he said weakly.
Kagome smiled as she looked at her son.
Sly smiled too. 'Almost complete.' "But momma, what about his name? I have such trouble with...what was it again? Elmo Yarka?" He started to hit his head. "No, damn! That's not right, is it? But...I tend to call him that the most."
Kagome looked at her son beating his head in frustration. She held his hand down, and looked at him gently. "Honey, don't hit yourself over problems with a name! If you remember him as Elmo Yarka, call him that."
Inuyasha's eyes grew wide. His pup had just made Kagome change HIS name! He felt like yelling out, but she looked back at him with those sad eyes again.
'Damn those eyes!' he thought. He had always hated to see her looking at him like that. He always had to make her stop.
So, poor Inuyasha had to accept his fate. He felt like whimpering, but because of his ego, he didn't. After all, if he started to whimper because his own pup had outdone him, how would that look?
Kagome smiled at him and turned back toward Sly. "Okay Ka-" She had to catch herself. It could be REAL dangerous to stumble on his name if anyone was around besides them. "Okay Sly, until you can remember 'Inuyasha', you can call him Elmo Yarka." She glanced at Inuyasha who had fallen cross legged under a tree. "Right?" she called out to him.
'Oh great.' he thought glumly. 'She has to get my verbal permission?' "WHATEVER!"
"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted angrily.
"I mean..." he sighed his keh.
Miroku stepped over towards Inuyasha. "Impressive."
"What." Inuyasha growled as he got up.
"I never knew youkai families were so different." Miroku replied. "In human families, the mother and children aren't the ones in charge."
An hour later as they started to walk along the trail...
Sly just walked calmly next to his mother and held her hand. Inuyasha stood on the other side of her while Shippou rode on Kagome's shoulder. Sango was walking next to Inuyasha.
Sango frowned. She really missed Kirara. She looked down at Miroku's pony tail. It had been bugging her for the last hour, but she didn't want to sound like she really cared. "Inuyasha." she finally asked. "If you're going to drag him, could you do it with his face facing up? Not that I care, but he might get a stick in his eye or something."
Inuyasha huffed and none-too-gently flipped the monk around on his back, then grabbed his legs again.
"Don't be so huffy." Kagome replied to Inuyasha's mood. "If you hadn't knocked him unconscious, you wouldn't be dragging him in the first place."
'Na-na-na-na-naa-na-na-na-nya!' Inuyasha mocked in a whiny tone. "He had it coming!" 'Besides, I didn't think he'd be out this long.'
Sly rubbed his eyes as he looked at his mom's watch. They'd been walking all day long and the sky was becoming dark. Although he always seemed to have extra energy, he was just about of it. "Momma, are we to a town yet?"
Kagome looked at Inuyasha.
"Nope." Inuyasha replied. "If we could've ran or....." Hmm...it had been a long time. What was that contraption called again? "or used that weird contraption we would've been there by now."
"Weird contraption?" Sly asked as he looked at his mom.
"My bike." Kagome replied. "And for the thousandth time, we couldn't take it Inuyasha! By now that chain's probably rusted shut. Besides, even if it was good, It wouldn't be fair. I'd bike, you'd run, but what about everyone else?" She glanced down at Sly. "Even Ka-uh-Sly couldn't keep up with us for too long."
Inuyasha looked at her as if that was blatantly obvious.
"Oh, I get it." Miroku said from behind Inuyasha.
Everyone stopped to look at the now conscious monk.
"How long have you been awake?" Inuyasha asked as he let Miroku's feet fall to the ground.
Miroku got off the ground and dusted himself off. He positioned his staff firmly on the ground. "Long enough to hear of your silent plea of 'alone time' with Kagome."
Kagome's eyes widened with realization. That's why he wanted her to bring her bike?
"If you like, I'm sure Sango and I could watch your pup if you wanted to whisk her away." Miroku smiled.
'What? Whisk my mom away?' Sly didn't know if he liked the sound of that.
Inuyasha watched Miroku closely. He NEVER did anything for free. "What's your plan monk?"
Miroku quickly shot a glance at Sango, then back before she saw him.
'Figures.' Inuyasha thought. He looked over at Kagome, then at Sly who was growling at him.
"Why do you wanna whisk momma away Elmo Yarka?!" Sly barked.
Inuyasha smiled. 'Protective, protective. Too bad, I'm still taking her.' He winked at Kagome as he quickly caught his pup and used his kimono for a straight jacket again.
"Hey you! Stop that, let me go!"
He handed his little prisoner to Miroku. "There. You and Sango can play mommy and Daddy for one hour-hey!"
Shippou didn't like what the hanyou was doing to Sly, so he decided biting him on his ear was a good idea.
Inuyasha pulled Shippou off and gave him to Sango. "And watch this brat too!"
Kagome started to come over to Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, why did you?-"
But that was as far as she got as Inuyasha grabbed her and ran off.
