Chapter 11: Forests, Demons, Kitsunes, Oh my!
"Okay... I have to do this very quietly. If anyone were to catch me... I'd be dead meat! Thank goodness mother and Kikyo aren't around. If Sango saw, she wouldn't care, would she?" Kagome blinked a few times as she hurried quietly to the door of her home, once again wearing a kimono that didn't belong to her.
"Almost there.." The deep orange of her kimono flowed gently with her swift movements as she placed her hand on the knob, gradually turning it. "Just... abo-"
"A-hem..."
The instant she heard the voice, her form became frozen solid. Very slowly turning her head to glance over her shoulder, she felt her heart jump into her throat.
Standing right beside her, with a rather creepy expression upon her face was Sango. In Kagome's words, she looked as if she was slightly stoned, with the exception that her eyes were flickering wildly, and her hair stood up from static electricity. It was actually pretty funny if you thought about it.
"Either you're playing dress up, or you decided to try on Kikyo's gown to make sure it would fit her...." The maiden leaned back, her eyes filled with curiosity. She was determined to find out why Kagome was sneaking around, and why was she wearing one of Kikyo's kimonos.
The miko sighed softly, "Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag. To put it bluntly..." Kagome stood up straight, adjusting her kimono and fixing her hair. Smiling softly, she told the truth. "I'm in love with Inuyasha, and he loves me. I'm going out to meet him, and I couldn't leave in my servant clothes... so I borrowed one of Kikyo's kimonos. If she has a problem with it... not like I'm going to tell her or anything," she sweat-dropped slightly. "...she can just go and kiss a donkey's butt. I haven't told him that I'm a servant... but I'm scared to because he's the Prince... plus he also thinks that I'm the Lady of this house. Man... I never realized how big this situation was? So, Sango... please don't tell mother or Kikyo? ....eh, Sango?"
Kagome blinked a few times as she noticed the blank expression written across Sango's face. Taking her hand, she waved a few times before the maiden's face, trying to get her attention. "Erm, Sango?"
Sango simply gazed on, an expression of awe now embracing her features. Blinking a few times, the maiden leaned back and folded her arms. "M-hum... and I'm going to marry that lecher monk Miroku. Kagome, are you sure you didn't drink or eat something that's messing with your mind?"
Kagome frowned somewhat, a little upset that her sister didn't believe her words. "You don't believe me, do you?"
"Kagome, I don't see how you could've even met the prince... Besides, he's such a cold fish, he wouldn't fall in love with anyone." Sango unfolded her arms, noticing the saddened expression that slid across Kagome's face. "Kagome..." Taking a step forward, she was about to embrace her sister when she heard a knock on the door.
"Just a moment!" Sango was the one who answered the call, and nodded to Kagome. "I'll get it." The miko simply replied with a light nod, watching as the maiden walked over to the door.
Too bad for her, the guest happened to be impatient and continued to pound on the door. "I'm coming! Just a moment."
"Well move faster, damn it! My grandmother could walk faster than you!!"
Sango gasped slightly from the voice that responded back. Stopping for a moment, her eyes hardened as she raised her fist. "Okay, whoever the bastard is standing behind that door is about to taste my fist! No one talks to me like that!" Sango growled bitterly as she threw open the door, her cold eyes sending the person waiting there a death glare.
"About time you answered the door! I was thinking that you had fallen over and died or something. Now.. If you would excuse me Ma'am... you're not the reason I'm here so there's no use in talking... to... you?" The person standing in the doorway was none other than Inuyasha, and this sight happened to stun Sango once more.
"Eh..?" The hanyou waved his hand slightly before the maiden's face, receiving the same results as Kagome had previously. Only this time, she actually said something. "Well... what do you know... she really is with you... oh my..."
Kagome approached Sango from behind, sweat-dropping slightly as she did. "Told ya. I'll be back later, alright?" The miko smiled softly as she passed up her sister, walking towards Inuyasha. "Remember what I said... please? See ya around Sango!"
Inuyasha blinked a few times as Kagome approached him. "What the hell? What's going on here?" The hanyou practically barked for an answer. He gasped somewhat as the miko placed her hands on his shoulders, guiding him out of the house. "Eh.. Ka-go-me! Spill some answers now!!"
Once the two were out of the house, and somewhat down the road, the maiden finally came to a halt. Taking a deep breath, she let out a relieved sigh. Stretching somewhat, Kagome grabbed Inuyasha by the hand, trying to ignore his really questionable, irritated look; he hated not knowing what was going on, and this was one of those situations.
"I'm not going to get anything from you, am I?" The hanyou glanced away from her, his eyes still holding that angered expression. "Feh..."
Kagome frowned somewhat, but how could she tell him about the conversation she had with Sango?
"Well, Inuyasha... we talked about how me and you are going together... and most importantly why I'm wearing these clothes because I don't want to be seen in my regular attire. I'm a servant you know..."
The miko shook off the feeling inside of her gut, the bad feeling of how he would react to the words. ~I'll tell him soon... but not now. Until then, I have to find a way to cheer him up.~ And that's exactly what she planned on doing.
Turning towards the hanyou, Kagome wrapped her arm around his, bringing his form closer to hers. "Let's just enjoy the scenery... you and me, alright? I want to forget about what happened with Sango, and you should too. There's nothing to worry about, so don't be a sour lemon about it."
"Hmph. What would you do if I was having a conversation with someone, you suddenly appeared, somehow it involved you, but I didn't tell you anything about it? You'd be hurt too, so don't go telling me that I should forget about it when you damn well know I shouldn't." Inuyasha snapped slightly, gently pulling away from her grasp and folding his arms. Picking up pace, he was now in front of her.
"Inuyasha..." Kagome's eyes saddened as she watched him. She didn't want to tell him about it- in fear on what may happen, but she also didn't want to see him in this state of emotions. ~I'm sorry...~ She spoke subconsciously as she picked up her speed, once again walking beside him.
"I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Yeah, yeah." The Prince was still ignoring her.
"Inuyasha... I really am sorry, can't you accept my apology?" Kagome's hand grasped his sleeve, bringing both of them to a halt. Her eyes were now flickering with some anger as she gazed into his amber orbs.
The hanyou merely sighed, his expression altering entirely. Gently embracing Kagome's hand, he looked deeply within her chocolate orbs. "You don't understand. So many people keep a lot of stuff from me, and it hurts not knowing what's going on. I just wish people would confide in me more, sharing what they think and how they feel."
"Don't you think they would if you did the same back? You don't exactly express your emotions all that well you know." The miko chuckled softly, nudging him in the shoulder. "I do understand... there's just some things that need time to be told, otherwise mistakes could be made. I hope you can see that?"
The hanyou rolled his eyes, understanding very well on what she meant. "I hear ya, I hear ya. Now..." A smirk graced his features as he swept the maiden off her feet, holding her bridal style.
"Enough of this mushy talk, it's making me sick." Kagome giggled once more, "You started it dough head." "Eh... you're the dough head!" "Tisk, tisk. The hanyou is being a bad little boy..." She tapped his nose softly, her eyes beaming with bliss. These actions caused the hanyou to squint his eyes, feeling somewhat stupid.
"Let's just go already." "You're the one keeping us held up Inuyasha." "And why is it my FAULT?!" "Just is." "Now listen here you-" His words were silenced by the touch of Kagome's gentle lips, forming a sweet kiss upon his. Blinking a couple of times, the hanyou let out a sigh. "That's not fair..."
"Another way I have control over you, how fun." The maiden giggled as he began to walk along the path once more. "Hmph.."
"I don't care if you're a guest of the Prince! I don't appreciate what you have just done you damn pervert!!" "I assure you miss that it was merely for good intentions. I heard a squeal, so I only did what my instincts told me to do."
"Let me guess: I just heard a woman squeal, that must be my opportunity to take her into bed when it's totally against HER WILL!!!" "Now listen here Ma'am, I never said I was going to take you into bed..."
"BUT you THOUGHT it!" "Eh... possibly... but that's another story. I thought you were in danger when I heard you squeal."
"Like hell you did! Just wait until the Prince get's back. When he hears about this, you can kiss your sorry ass goodbye!" The maiden standing in the door way picked up one of her books, one of her heaviest books.
The monk standing feet away gasped. "Now please, there's no need to take violent measures Ma'am. I promise I won't do it again!" He held his hands up in defense as he sweat-dropped, realizing his fate once more. "Oh crap..."
"GET OUT!" She began her charade of throwing everything in her reach at him. Book after book, tables, lamps, bowls, the list goes on and on.
"Eeeep!" Miroku knelt down and retrieved his staff, hoping it would block a few of the thrown objects so he could flee, but that didn't work out too well. As he turned away, a book hit him dead center in the head, causing his body to freeze on contact. "Ouch..."
His leg began to twitch as he instantly began to run for his life, dodging things here and there. "Perhaps I shouldn't help women in this castle anymore?!" Racing towards the stairs, he jumped onto the railing and began to slide down, no longer in contact of the raging woman.
"Ahh... safety at....." His suddenly bulged out as he stopped at the bottom of the stairs, a very abrupt stop. ".....llllaaasssstttt....." The last word was prolonged as he toppled over, both legs twitching.
"Forgot... about... the... ball...."
"So, how's Miroku doing in the castle?" The hanyou glanced down towards Kagome, sending her somewhat of a "good question... why the hell did you even bring him to me?" type of look. This caused her to only sweat-drop.
"Eh...." "I'm surprised the damn lecher isn't dead yet. Considering how many rough encounters he's been through... not too mention the ones he's probably dealing with right now, let's just say he's been through hell and back since you brought him." Inuyasha smirked somewhat, recalling several of the incidences in his mind.
"Eh... yeah. You should've seen him the first time he met us. Goodness it was a nightmare for him, but he deserved it for the actions he took. It'll teach him a lesson... hopefully." The miko sweat-dropped, thinking that most likely he'll never learn.
"But then again... he has his reasons for doing it, but he should choose a new path on taking those actions." "Yeah, he explained everything to me. Makes you feel a little bad for the guy."
"I agreed to help him."
"You what?! Why would you say something like that?!" Inuyasha was the one to stop this time, grabbing her gently by the arm.
"Because, he's a human being and he needs help! I want to be kind to him, so I chose to help with his problem. If you have an issue with that, then fix it!"
"Don't say that to me! I don't have a problem with it. It's just, he's a pervert! Doesn't that bother you?"
"If he does anything really stupid, I know I have you there to protect me." Inuyasha paused for a moment, uncertain on what to say.
"Eh... so, that may be true... but still!" "Aw come on. Let's just drop the subject and enjoy the rest of the walk, alright? ...Inuyasha?" The miko gazed in confusion as the hanyou suddenly became tense, his eyes scanning around the forest as if searching for something.
"What's wrong?" "Shhh." He embraced Kagome in a protective manner, holding her close as he took a few steps. "Someone's following us.." "Really? But who?" "I don't know. Someone is though."
As if on queue, a large blue flame came erupting from the trees, instantly creating a ring of fire around them. "Aiyee! Inuyasha!" The miko held Inuyasha just as the close, the sudden flame frightening her.
"Damn it. The day I don't carry my sword, a freakin' demon decides to attack. Just stay close to me. I'll have to tear it apart with my claws." "Alright..." She whispered softly, her hold tightening.
Another burst of flame shot out from the trees, causing the wall to grow immensely. As the two stood within the depths of the flame, a deep voice was heard from outside.
"I have finally found you. Now that you are within my clutches, I wish to take what I came for." A slight chuckle could be heard after the spoken words, echoing throughout the air.
"Inuyasha, I don't like this." "Just stay close. I'll keep you safe, no matter what it takes I will protect you."
"Aww, look at what we have here. Isn't it such a darling sight to see? The man protecting his beloved woman... such a precious moment. Alright, enough of the sappy stuff. Let's move in guys! I want what I came for."
"Inuyasha! Look, so many of them... and they're so big!" The miko gasped as large shadows surrounded them in the flames, their monstrous forms clearly larger then they.
Inuyasha was becoming unsure of the situation, and growled deeply as his hold on Kagome tightened a little more. "I won't let them near you."
"Descend and attack!!" The deep voice echoed throughout the air, growing louder as all of the figures approached closer. Within time, they began to enter the fire, total immune to the intense heat.
"They're just walking through the fire! That's not natural!" Kagome gasped even more as the figures closed in.
~Damn it! I can't touch the fire because I'll just get burned... so there's no way out! What else am I suppose to do?!~ The hanyou cursed within his mind as he glanced up, his eyes suddenly widening somewhat.
Hovering above them was a large, unknown figure, also emitting a powerful aura. "Get down Kagome!" Inuyasha towered over her, making sure she wasn't in range of getting hurt from the demon.
"Now I've got you!" The large figure descended upon them, now less than feet above them. Opening it's wide mouth, he encompassed the hanyou's head, chomping down.
"Inuyasha! ....Inu...Yasha?" The miko blinked several times when she lifted her head, noticing the extremely irritated look written across his face. Watching in awe as he lifted his hand, the hanyou struck the large figure, sending it through the air like a balloon.
"Oh wow... that was easy. What's with the look Inuyasha?" Kagome watched as he raised to his feet, holding his hand out to the fire. "Uh... don't! You'll burn off... your... limb?"
She was shocked yet once more as Inuyasha simply placed his hand in the flames, absolutely nothing happening. Gently grabbing Kagome by the wrist, he lead her out of the wall of flames.
"My, that was new. Huh?" The miko blinked several times at the sight before them. Instead of a huge army of demons like it was made out to be, there were only trees surrounding what used to be flames. Someone had created an illusion, and it was obviously a good one, to a certain extent.
"Who the hell is responsible for this?!" Inuyasha barked angrily as he walked forward, his amber orbs scanning the area. That was a bad mistake.
"Inuyasha!!" Kagome screamed as someone swept down, embracing her form and carrying her off.
Landing several feet away, the miko continued to scream and thrash about, trying to release herself from the demon's clutches.
"Kagome!! Let her go you bastard!" He raced forward, his eyes blaring with anger as he encountered the two.
"Is that a way to talk to someone boy? I don't think so! I better hear an apology before this here girl get's... Ouch! What was that for?!" The demon glanced up at Kagome, her eyes blinking several times as she held her fist up.
"You're a little kid."
"Eh..." He sweat-dropped as a firm expression graced his features. "I am NOT a little kid, thank you very much. I am a demon of high power, so you had better fear me! Fear me I say, fear me!! FEAR... OUCH!!!" The demon jumped up high as something grasped his tail, holding it quite firmly.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome's eyes glistened with happiness as he stood in front of her, holding the demon within his hand.
"You're a squirt... nothing but a damn little brat." The hanyou glared angrily as he held the child up, gazing into his emerald orbs.
"That's Shippou to you, you big meanie!" The child barked back in his face, crossing his arms just as angry. "Hmph. I shouldn't have wasted my time on going after you. It was worthless.
"Worthless you say?" Inuyasha's eye twitched as he lifted the child, ready to hurl him through the air.
"Shippou huh? Hehe, you're such a cute little kid. Why were you trying to kidnap me?" The miko leaned down, gently pinching Shippou's cheek.
"Hey! I'm not a little kid for some old granny to pick on! Leave me alone before I get you again!" "You and what army?" Inuyasha growled annoyingly, still holding the child within his hand firmly.
"...MY army bozo! What other army would I use?" "Then let's see it." "I...eh... why?" The hanyou gently lifted Kagome into his arms, dropping down to the ground easily. Setting her down carefully, he held Shippou even higher into the air.
"The army I hold in my back pocket."
"You have an army in your back pocket? What else is do you have?" Kagome's eyes were gazing in wonder at the child, obviously in some type of daze. "I want to see it."
"Kagome? Are you feeling alright? You're acting pretty loopy." Inuyasha lifted his free hand, holding it in front of her face and slightly waving.
"Who would be alright after spending their time with you? Hmph." The child turned his head, ignoring the others as much as possible.
"Kid, you're barking up the wrong tree! I'm getting tired of hearing you and your smart ass mouth! You had better apologize before I get REALLY mad and decide to make you my lunch."
"Eww! You would actually eat a little kitsune like myself? What a barbaric beast! You're a monster! Let me go before... before..." "Before you cry?" "I WASN'T going to say that!" The young kitsune began to sniffle slightly, folding his arms even tighter against his chest.
"Were too." "Were not."
"Were too." "Were not." "Were too. Now if you don't shut up I'm going to find a demon who really will want you on his lunch menu."
"You're so mean."
"Inuyasha. You shouldn't be so harsh? He is just a young kid." "I am NOT a kid already..." "Alright, I apologize, you're not a kid. But nonetheless, you should leave him alone Inuyasha."
"Just whose side are you on anyway? That brat tried to kidnap you, so wouldn't that make him an enemy?"
"True, but how can someone who looks so cute be a bad guy? I mean, just look at him!" The miko smiled softly as she took the kitsune from Inuyasha's grasp, gently lifting him into her arms.
"See? He's a little fox, so adorable, you just wanna give him a big hug!" The wrapped her arms around him as if he were some type of doll, giving the poor child the hug of his life. "Shippou... can't.... breathe!"
"Eh? Oh! I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" Kagome gasped somewhat, setting the child upon the ground. "Heh, you okay? I really am sorry." The miko kneeled down, giving the child another gentle hug. As she did, she whispered something quietly into his ears, something only for him to hear.
"Well, since we know your name, why don't we introduce ourselves?" The maiden rose once more to her feet, turning to glance towards Inuyasha. He was giving the hardest irritated glare he possibly could towards the child, nothing but that expression gracing his features.
She sighed, "I'm Kagome, and this is Inuyasha." "Prince Inuyasha! So that means you need to bow down and obey me!" "Inuyasha! Would you stop being such a cold fish? Give him a break!"
"Hey Shippou, the owner of the circus called, he said they're missing their star clown, the stupid one."
"Kagome! Tell him to stop!" The child hopped onto the miko's shoulder, acting almost as if it was his rightful place.
"Inuyasha, I'm warning you."
"Feh. Don't let that brat take a hold of you. He's only going to become attached, and then you're going to do everything he says! I've seen it before! I'm not that stupid you know."
"Oh really?"
"Eh..?" Inuyasha blinked a few times, becoming more aggravated by each passing second. Simply letting out a sigh, he took a step forward, slowly releasing his angered expression.
"Let's just go."
"Bingo!" Shippou vaulted into the air, formed a small fist, and clubbed Inuyasha right in the middle of the forehead. "Ha!"
The hanyou growled deeply, grabbing the child before he could flee. "Bad move." "Aiyee! Please don't hurt me! I was only teaching you a lesson!"
"Inuyasha! Don't you dare do anything stupid!"
"The only one around here who needs a lesson learned is you, you rotten little brat!" The kitsune covered his head, fearing what may happen. "I'm sorry?"
"Hey Shippou? Ever wonder what it's like to see a flying fox?" "Huh?" "I sure as hell would like to see one. Oh, would you look at that? I see one now!" The child blinked, looking in the direction the hanyou was. "Really?!"
"Heh." Winding up his arm, with the child in hand, Inuyasha sent Shippou hurling through the air, landing way out of sight.
"You're so meeeeeaaaannnnnn....." Shippou's voice echoed as he was no longer in view, his voice slowly fading out.
"Inuyasha! That was so mean! Why did you have to go and do that?!" "The brat needed to learn who's boss around here, so I had to show him." Kagome whined slightly, grabbing Inuyasha by the arm.
"You didn't have to throw him." "He'll be fine. Now let's go. I had something planned for us, and it's already been spoiled by everything that's happened."
"Forests..." "Demons..." "Kitsunes..."
Oh my! The wind whispered quietly as it brushed through the forest, gently wrapping around the two.
Both blinked in response to the whisper, shaking their heads afterwards. "Let's go." "Right." Taking Kagome by the hand, they waltzed down the path as if nothing had happened, almost.
"This sucks. Why do I have to sit out here and wait for him to come home? Hmph. I don't even want to stay here... I hate him..." Shippou was waiting impatiently at the foot of some steps, his arms folded and his legs crossed. His emerald orbs were glaring hatefully at the ground, words occasionally leaving his lips in angered growls.
"I wish he would hurry up and get here... stupid hanyou."
"Oh no!! What the hell are you doing here, you stupid brat?! Did I give you permission to sit on my doorstep?! I don't think so! You'd better move it along before I decide to sick my guards on your little foxy butt."
"About time you came home!"
"I asked what the hell are you doing here?!" Inuyasha stood before the kitsune, his amber orbs blaring with irritation. He couldn't stand this child, and the last thing he needed was him sitting on his doorstep.
"I'm living here."
The hanyou stopped dead in his tracks, his ears twitching slightly. Raising his fist, he felt his chest rise in as he took a deep breath, ready to yell the child out of here.
"YOU'RE WHAT?!?!?"
The kitsune came a halt as well, every little strand of hair standing up from the hanyou's scream. Sweat-dropping somewhat, Shippou straightened his fur, his kimono jacket, and responded very maturely.
"I'm living here, and you can't refuse. Kagome said that this is my new home, and if you say no she would use the word on you a thousand times. So look at it my way, you don't have a choice."
"Eh... che... what? Do you think you can go and decide these type of things? I don't think so buddy! Now unless you really want to feel my wrath, I suggest you move out of the way!" Inuyasha thundered past the kitsune, ignoring his whimpering and complaining.
"But how could you leave me out here in the cold? All by my little 'ole self? Would you really be that mean to me? Come on!! Please don't do this?! Inuyasha! Prince Inuyasha! Inu-" Shippou gasped as the door was shut right on his face, literally. "....Yasha...."
The child's leg twitched as he fell over, landing flat on his back with a beat red face. "I'll... get... you..."
"Who does that child think he is? Stupid kid, thinking he can barge in and do whatever he wants. He can't run my damn life, only I can. Hmph... little brat." Inuyasha thundered through his room, Shippou's words still ringing in his head.
"I'm living here, and you can't refuse. Kagome said that this is my new home, and if you say no she would use the word on you a thousand times. So look at it my way, you don't have a choice."
"Feh, whatever. That idiot isn't coming inside of this home, and nothing is going to change that."
The hanyou removed his upper kimono and shirt, revealing his very handsome torso. Throwing the attire to the side carelessly, he dropped down onto his bed, wrapping his form in the silken sheets.
"Man..." Letting out a sigh, his amber orbs blinked a few times, gazing out towards the window and at the moon. Watching the glistening ball of what looked like milk, a silhouette of Kagome's beautiful face formed in his mind.
"This is what it's like... to be happy..." A weak smile graced his features as his amber orbs were concealed behind heavy eyelids, the Prince gradually drifting off into a peaceful slumber.
"Eh... not so fast buster. I am going to live here, whether you approve or not. And one way to make someone agree, bother their sleeping."
Shippou spat out his words as he made his way up the wall of the castle in his pink balloon form, drawing closer to his destination.
"Almost there.... bingo!"
"I know a song that get's on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves. I know a song that get's on everybody's nerves, and this is how it goes."
The hanyou's eyes shot open instantly as the high pitched voice filled his sensitive ears. Revealing his angered amber orbs, he rolled over onto his side and growled furiously, burying his head underneath his pillows.
"99 cups of tea on the wall, 99 cups of tea. Take one down, pass it around, 98 cups of tea on the wall. 98 cups of tea on the wall, 98 cups of tea. Take one down, pass it around, 97 cups of tea on the wall..."
"Damn it... I can't believe this." After a few more moments of listening to the voice, the hanyou was able to recognize it. Digging his hands into the comfort of his sheets, he growled again in a more threatening tone.
"This is song that never ends, it goes on and on my friends. Some people, started singing it not knowing what is was. Now they continue singing it forever just because... this is a song that never ends, it goes on and on my friends...."
"Shut the hell up before I march out there and ring your little neck!" Inuyasha tightened the grip on his pillow, trying to drown out the sound.
"Then let me in!"
"Not on your life!"
"Fine! Osuwari, osuwari! Down the hanyou goes! Prayer beads around his neck, bringing him to his nose!
Osuwari, osuwari! Down the hanyou goes! Prayer beads around his neck, bringing him to his nose!"
"If that brat doesn't shut up, it will be his nightmare."
"Five centuries ago, Inuyasha lay pinned to a tree. Then Kagome came, and set the hanyou free!
The hanyou was real bad, the hanyou was real mean. So someone took some prayer beads, now hear Kagome scream!"
Inuyasha growled even deeper, slowly rising to his feet and taking a pillow with him.
"Osuwari, osuwari! Down the hanyou goes! Prayer beads around his neck, bringing him to his nose!"
The hanyou opened the window fully, glaring angrily towards the singing kitsune.
"Osuwari, osuwari! Now Kagome's cross! Grind his face into the ground and make some hanyou sauce! Grind his face into the ground and make... some... hanyou saaaauuuucccceeeee!"
"Time to fly." Inuyasha took the pillow and struck the kid, never realizing where he had sent Shippou flying.
"Aiyee!! ...huh? Muwahahaaa..."
Letting out a relieved sigh, the Prince turned around, dragging the pillow along with him. Shrugging back to bed, he toppled over onto the comfy sheets. "Where did he come up with that song? ...I hate it..."
Grasping the sheets, he pulled them over his head and snuggled into the warmth.
"....GAH!! What the hell are you doing in my bed?!" Inuyasha barked angrily as he jumped back, Shippou watching him with a perky smile from underneath the covers. "I told you I was going to live here, so I AM!"
"Damn it you little brat... I've had it. Get out..."
"Nope! This is my home, so deal!" The child held his ground firmly, or at least tried.
"This is the last straw. Get out!"
"99 cups of tea on the wall, 99 cups of tea! Take one down, pass it around! 98 cups of tea on the wall! I won't shut up until you give me a room to sleep in!
98 cups of tea on the wall, 98 cups of tea! Take on down, pass it around! 97 cups of tea on the wall!"
Inuyasha's eye twitched as his fist tightened by his side. "I hate you." Grasping the child firmly by the head, he chucked him towards the door.
"Inuyasha! Argh!" Shippou covered his head as a huge lump formed, a very painful one.
"Find yourself your own damn room and leave me alone. Now... once more... GET OUT!!!!"
"Leaving!" With a satisfied grin, the kitsune grasped the door handle and left, making sure to slam it behind him. "Heh, mission accomplished. Now to find a room...."
"I'm sorry miss!!!!"
The child glanced up only to see a man half dressed running out of another bedroom, a storm of objects trailing behind him. He continued to run at high speed, and happened to be heading straight for the kitsune.
"Eahh!!" Shippou gasped as the monk tried to stop in time, but to no avail. His crash landing was the child, knocking both to the floor, and creating quite a ruckus.
"I'm sorry little one! But, before many apologies are made, we should run for our lives!!" Shippou blinked several times in confusion. "Why?" The monk simply pointed towards what seemed like a stampede of raging women.
"..........."
"Run!!!" Hesitating no more, the two ran down the halls rapidly trying to escape the women's wrath. "What happened? Why are they so mad at you, and WHY did you drag me into this?!"
"Let's just say don't walk into a woman's room when they're either; a) undressing, b) bathing, c) sleeping and you accidentally trip and fall on their bed, or d) all of the above."
"Stupid..." Shippou sighed as he figured it out instantly. ~He's a pervert.~
"It's hopeless..." Resting on the floor with one foot in the air, twitching, Inuyasha growled angrily. The sheets were wrapped around his form as he listened to the noises going on outside. "Forget it."
Taking the blankets, he got into a comfortable position and gradually began to doze off. Using the floor to drown out the sound, he found that it worked somewhat, so it was more quiet in his bedroom.
"This nightmare... will end... someday..." he whispered softly as sleep claimed him entirely.

A/N: So, hehe, how was it? Did you enjoy the chapter? I sure hope so! It was suppose to be the part of the movie when the robbers come and attack the two. I know I didn't follow along there perfectly... I don't even remember that part very much in the movie. So, I added things... more so to give it some humor. ^^
Oh, and the song Shippou was singing about Inuyasha, it's one that I made up... hehe, yes, I made it up... and it goes to the tune 'Jingle Bells.' Cute, ne?
Anyway, I don't know when the next chapter will be up... mainly cause school starts Monday, and I have finals... x_X I'll get it up as soon as I can! Until next time, ja ne!
