Chapter 2

Blinking in shock at the hanyou's antics, Miroku let his gaze drift from him to the young girl, a smile splitting his face in half as he laughed, "Actually, Inuyasha, I've got more than one sister... truth be told, there's three of them."

Gulping, the dog demon whimpered while Sango and Kagome grinned, turning their attention to the newcomer once again, studying her intently.

Looking much like her twin brothers, the sister had a youthful face with shoulder length hair and mysterious eyes, but instead of miko's clothes, a light blue kimono wrapped around the girl's slim body.

"Awww, who's the cute puppy? No one told me we were going to have visitors!" She cried in joy, clapping her hands together while letting her gaze roam over the group, and when it landed on Miroku, her eyes widened with surprise before she launched herself at him, "MIROKU!"

Making impact with an laugh, the two toppled to the ground in a cloud of dust as Seiko and Haruko smiled, used the display of affection between the two, but the rest of the gang (excluding the once again sleeping kitsune) were equally surprised, blinking in shock.

"Ayame! Good lord, have you grown! Last time I saw you..." Shouting with joy, Miroku stood up, spinning the girl in his arms around in circles, continuing, "Man, have you grown! And into such a woman, too!"

Grinning down at her brother with dancing eyes, Ayame swatted at him when he finally set her down, tipsy from being spun so much, and replied, "Silly, that was eight years ago! Of course I grew up! Why did you take so long to come back? I missed you so much!"

When his sister sprung upon him once again with a bear hug, the monk stumbled, tripping on the ground and falling back into the rest of the gang, throwing them all to the ground.

Staring at the sprawled clump, Seiko and Haruko were the only two left standing, grins plastered on their faces from the mumbling and grumbling coming from the pile of arms and legs.

More shuffling sounded before a cry of shock pierced the air, the demon exterminator springing from the pile to glare down at the mass.

Another shout broke the air, followed by the hanyou jumping from the clump, also glaring down at the tangled mob.

Both Inuyasha and Sango opened their mouths and started shouting in anger, words jumbled together, but soon Kagome stood and joined in the shouting competition, leaving Miroku and Ayame sitting in the middle.

Brother and sister had identical expressions, holding their hands up innocently with wide grins, sitting back to back, though neither of them attempted to say anything, knowing the shouting trio would drown them out.

Taking a deep gulp of breath in sync, Sango and Inuyasha were momentarily silent, letting Kagome take the stage while she expressed her anger and frustration, "I swear, I just don't know... ahhh, SIT BOY!!!"

The hanyou slammed into the ground unexpectedly, completely caught by surprise, and the miko blinked in shock, turning from the monk to gaze at the dog demon guiltily.

"Oh, I'm sorry Inuyasha..." She whispered, realizing she had accidentally shouted his restraining spell in her frustration as Sango and Miroku noted it too, both breaking out laughing.

Eyes widening, Ayame glanced from the downed Inuyasha to the guilty looking miko, making the connection quickly, and was instantly at Kagome's side, asking, "Wow! How the heck did you do that? Are you a witch? Could you teach me that? Really..."

Ignoring the girl beside her, the miko looked around for the missing kitsune, spotting him sleeping next to the laughing monk, curled into a small ball, and despite herself, she smiled.

"Why did you do that, wench?" The dog demon mumbled, sitting up slowly and rubbing his head, quite surprised when the blabbering Ayame jumped into his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck, laughing, "Awww, your so cute! Miroku, can I keep him, pretty please?"

Shocked by the young girl's boldness, Inuyasha growled, dumping her off of his lap and quickly scrambling to stand behind the startled miko and demon exterminator.

"What, Inuyasha, afraid of a mere girl?" Kagome laughed, crossing her arms, and Sango joined in, managing to add, "Don't expect us to protect you! You're on your own!"

The hanyou snorted, slipping his hands up his sleeves, yet he crouched lower behind the two girls in order to stay clear of Miroku's sister.

"Ayame..." Haruko's deep voice caught everyone's attention, his eyebrow slowly rising, and the young girl sighed deeply, gazing at him with big eyes before finally giving in.

"Fine..." Standing up from her spot on the ground, she brushed off her rear, quickly darting over to where Miroku was sitting and asking, "Aren't you going to introduce? Especially to that adorable little puppy! Hurry, Miroku!"

Laughing, the monk stood up, his gaze landing on the highly annoyed Haruko for a brief second, then sliding to where Inuyasha crouched behind the girls as he announced, "Ayame, these are my friends... Sango, Kagome, Inuyasha, and..."

Glancing around, he spotted the sleeping kitsune, quickly picking up the bundle of fur with a smile and depositing it in his sister's arms, adding, "Shippo."

Studying the kitsune, Ayame's eyes widened with surprise as she cooed, "Ooooh, he's so cuuute!"

Turning back to Sango, Kagome, and Inuyasha, the monk smiled, wrapping an arm around his shorter sister's shoulders, finishing, "This is Ayame, the youngest of the bunch... my little sister."

Demon exterminator and miko turned towards each other, glanced back at the hanyou, then eyed the youngest lech with laughter in their eyes, but Inuyasha wasn't finding this funny at all, instead growling, "How could there be a female lech?"

"Payback sucks, eh?" Kagome laughed, though she quickly stopped when she noticed Miroku's twin wasn't in her line of vision, and his location quickly revealed itself when Sango's cry of anger broke the quiet, "Get away from me you pervert!"

Whack!

Whack!

Whack!

"Oooooh..." The moan came from the unconscious Seiko as he lie twitching on the ground, the steaming demon exterminator standing over him with her overlarge boomerang held high, flames in her brown eyes.

"Ouch, that had to hurt..." Ayame whispered, wincing slightly and cuddling the sleeping fur ball in her arms with tenderness, but Haruko was impressed, both eyebrows nearly touching his hairline when he announced, "Heck of a woman, Miroku."

Blushing slightly, the monk scratched the back of his head with a grin, replying, "Ah, yeah... I've suffered the brunt of that wallop quite a few times myself..."

Rubbing her temples, Sango returned her weapon to its rightful place once again, a heavy tension settling over them all.

Suddenly a yawn broke it, everyone turning to look at the tiny kitsune as he blinked his eyes, turned to Kagome, and announced, "I'm hungry."

"Aw, sweetie, we'll go get you some food!" The youngest sister cooed, cuddling the bundle of fur to her chest.

Abruptly turning on her heel and heading deeper into the village, Ayame gave the others no choice but to follow her, Kagome and Sango on either side of the young sister while Miroku and Haruko drug Seiko between them, leaving Inuyasha to follow behind them all.

"I can't believe Miroku came home! It's been eight long years, so many things have happened, yet still I was..." Ayame talked on and on, hugging the kitsune to her chest, completely oblivious that neither the miko nor the exterminator were paying attention, each lost in their own thoughts.

Behind them, the brother's were all walking on their own now, silent until Seiko braved the onslaught of Ayame's babbling ahead to mumble, "Why did you decide to come back now, Miroku?"

"Truth? I didn't really come here by choice..." The monk replied, turning his head away from his twin quickly, but Haruko stopped the conversation from proceeding, "That's enough. We'll discuss this later."

The group continued walking with only Ayame's chitchat filling the air, everyone lost in their own thoughts, when a voice startled them all.

Sango and Kagome glanced ahead of them, brows furrowed, and saw a tall man with a lean figure and hair much like Haruko's, a lighter shade then Miroku's or Seiko's.

"Well, hello there." Striding towards them with purposeful steps, he grinned at them and grabbed both of their arms, pulling them until they stood before a building, continuing, "You two beautiful ladies are lucky enough to be able to see the greatest thing ever..."

Bewildered, the miko and demon exterminator stood there beside him, barely listening to what he was saying, when a familiar squeeze triggered an automatic reaction.

Slap!

Whack!

The man stumbled from the assaults, a red hand print on either cheek, so when Miroku and Seiko caught sight of him, they doubled over laughing, clutching at their stomachs.

Grinning guiltily, the hand prints crinkling slightly, the newest brother simply shrugged, correctly announcing, "I'm guessing both of these beautiful women have already met one of my brothers..."

He studied the odd assembly of people, noting there were many new faces, but when his gaze landed on the monk, he shouted with joy, "MIROKU!"

Dashing over to the pain wracked Miroku, unable to breath due to the mirth he was suffering, the taller brother gathered him in a bear hug, squeezing the little air that was left out of his lungs, and the monk hugged him back, each thumping one another's' back without a sound.

"Another brother?" The demon exterminator growled, unsettled by the emotion the normally passive monk was showing...

"Take that, little brother! Two for one, bet you never did that well!" The newest brother's proud shout broke the hug, both pulling back as Seiko rushed over to join the two, and Miroku grinned, replying, "Well, you haven't been traveling all over have you? I bet I am quite ahead of you, without a doubt!"

"Ha! Both of you know I am surely whooping butt and winning, right?" Seiko cut in, his eyes sparkling, his grin nearly scary, and the three brothers gazed at each other for one second before reaching into a pocket, pulling a piece of paper out, "Let's see... add the ones from today and I've got... seven thousand, five hundred, and sixty-two! Beat that!"

"Oh, trust me, not only will I beat that, I'll cream you! Here... seven thousand, NINE hundred, and one!" The monk shouted with joy, not noticing the murderous expression the miko and demon exterminator were sporting, both of them having quickly made the connection on what the brother's could possibly be talking about.

"Ha, add those two sweet ones I just got a second ago and... eight thousand, one hundred, and twenty seven! I win!" The newest brother shouted, grinning proudly and tucking the paper back in some unknown pocket, then throwing his head back and laughing loudly.

Scampering over to the group of brothers, Ayame cuddled the kitsune in one arm while reaching into her own pocket, pulling out a similar sheet of paper while Seiko complained, "Ahhhh, that just isn't fair! You're older, I should get extra points for being the youngest!"

"Not true!" The youngest sister laughed, catching the twins and newest brother's attention easily, and with a grin, she added, "I think I win, 'cause I got eight thousand, two hundred, and five."

Studying the younger girl with laughing eyes, Miroku asked, "When did you start participating in this groping contest? I thought it was just between the three of us."

Rolling her eyes, Ayame shot the monk a dry look before replying, "Since when has that ever stopped me?"

"True..." Miroku chuckled, noting that Inuyasha was once again hiding behind the miko and demon exterminator...

Gulping, the monk also noted that neither of the two women seemed especially pleased with the results they had just heard.

The demon exterminator's eyebrow twitched every few seconds, the grinding of her teeth audible from five feet away where he stood, and she was fingering the overlarge boomerang that was slung over her back.

"This is ridiculous!" Sango shouted, eyes flashing dangerously as the twins and newest brother each took a step back at the same time, ready to flee from her anger if necessary.

"Unbelievable! Simply mad!" Kagome joined in, fists clenched and brows furrowed, causing each of the brothers to step back once again, and as one, both miko and demon exterminator started laying into them, "Seriously, a groping tally..."

"I should get rosary beads for all..."

"...think I will forget! Don't..."

"...listen up, no more! Let me..."

On and on they went, stalking towards the trio with steam billowing from their ears, and the brothers slowly back away until they hit a wall, their eyes wide with fear.

Less than a foot from the cringing three, Kagome and Sango bent over the huddled group, becoming hoarse from all their shouting.

With his ears ringing from the shouting two above him, Miroku's gaze was dropping from Sango's lips to study what her gaping top was exposing as she bent over him, but his joy was quickly erased when the demon exterminator straightened to point a finger down at him.

Blinking while cursing his luck, the monk noted he was sitting too far down to appreciate the front view, instead getting an eyeful of skirt... perhaps if he got a look of the backside, it would prove to have more merit.

Thoughtfully considering how he could get Sango to turn around, the monk realized neither of his brothers were paying attention to the shouting going on above them either.........

Ah, of course, Kagome was nearly standing on top of them, and that short skirt of hers definitely wasn't leaving much for their perverted minds to imagine...

Above them, the shouting continued on and on, raising in pitch then lowering in a threat.

Taking a deep gulp of breath to continue on, the pissed off girls were interrupted when a hand landed on each of their shoulders, a soothing voice asking, "What's all this racket about? Who's gotten into trouble this... AKIO!"

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

Sango: Do I even want to turn around?

Miroku: Oh, please do!

Sango: ... You pervert.

Miroku: Who, me?
