Chapter 4: Abnormally Large Boomerangs and Perverts




************************************************************************************************************************************************










"Wake up Letch!", growled Inuyasha, while he kicked Miroku in the side. The others were already awake and staring at Miroku expectantly. He didn't stir an inch.









"WAKE UP BAKKA!," he yelled again. He was about to say it once more, when he noticed Sango put a finger to her lips signaling for them to be quiet. Inuyasha sniffed the air cautiously while Kagome nodded at Sango knowingly. He was about to ask why he had to be shut up, but was interrupted by the very seductive, not to mention suggestive, voice of Sango.








"Oh, I'm glad Miroku isn't up yet, that might spoil our fun....how would all of you like to go take a bath with me while we wait on him to awake....I think I saw a hot spring over there...", her highly over exaggerated voice trailed off as she looked to Miroku for any results. Kagome blushed a little and tried not to laugh , while Inuyasha looked confused for a minute before the usual smirk once again resided on his face.









Miroku's eyes slowly opened to, hopefully, catch a glance of "something". He looked around, and saw...black? 'Why is everything bla-Oh hell…'









"Hentia!!" Sango screamed as her abnormally large boomerang went crashing down upon Miroku's head.








"I didn't know you could be so imaginative, Sango..", Before his that sentence could go on any farther, he was quickly stifled by the abnormally large boomerang once again.







"Pervert.."







"Get up letch, we need to get going if we want to make it there before dark."







With that, the group gathered up their belongings, which of course consisted of a big yellow back pack, an abnormally large boomerang, a staff, and Inuyasha. That done, they all hopped aboard Kirara and set out to fight the baboon pelt clad Naraku.

They road for about four hours in silence, except of course for the occasional 'Hentia!' *slap*, after all, its not really that easy to talk while riding on a gigantic cat demon. But, eventually it was bound to happen, and happen it undoubtedly did. It was Kagome who broke the 'hentia' infested silence.








"Inuyasha?, I'm sensing a LOT of jewel shards coming from there.", the girl from the future informed, pointing North.








"Ya think?, that is where Naraku is after all.."












"Just how many jewel shards do you think Naraku has?", she asked, pulling out her own collection of jewel shards, which, she noticed, there was a greatl deal of...










" How am I supposed to know that wench?"








Kagome was beginning to grow angry, "Well you do seem to know a lot more about the Shikon No Tama than I do!"









Inuyasha looked reluctant, but then answered her previous question, knowing that if he didn't he would be sat, and he didn't even want to think about what that would be like from so high up in the air, "I think he has the rest of them.."










This of course caught Miroku's attention, "The rest of them? What do you mean Inuyasha?"








"What do you think I mean monk? He has the rest of them!"











Sango finaly took her part in the conversation, growing annoyed with the other's arguing, "You mean to tell me, that, all the jewel shards are either in Kagome's hand there, or with the cursed Naraku?"











"That's exactly what I mean!"










It took a while for the full weight of that statement to sink in. Everyone looked thoughtful, as if they were all considering this. Once again, Kagome broke the silence.











"So, after we defeat Naraku...if we defeat him, we will have *all* the jewel shards? The Shikon No Tama will be complete? And...you wont need me anymore….?"









"Yes wench, we will have all the shards and the Shikon No Tama will be complete...feh..." Inuyasha answered, deliberately ignoring her last question.







Kagome noticed that he hadn't responded to her last question, and, was about to re-ask it, but stopped when she noticed the pleading look in Inuyasha's eyes..It was as if he were begging her not to ask that question..because he couldn't deal with *that* question right now. So she chose to pretend she had never asked it in the first place. Inuyasha looked *very* relieved.











"So Kagome, what are you going to do with the completed Shikon No Tama?" Sango asked, noticing the tension in the group after Kagome's last question. Miroku turned his head to Kagome, looking curious.










She hesitated a moment, not sure of how she should answer, "It depends."






The way she said it, everyone knew that it was a closed subject for now...Inuyasha didn't even say anything about how the whole reason for finding the shards in the first place was to make him into a full youkia...well...at least that's what he *had* wanted....originally.
