Chapter 12: Keeping the Peace

|

Rin found these demons to be disgustingly vile. They now had started an argument about who should 'do' her first. Barbarians…they sicken me. I think I should teach them a few new lessons…if I could gather enough courage to do so… She had noticed they had completely forgotten about her and had their sights set on beating each other up instead.

Crawling on her knees, she slowly made her way to the door, the portal to freedom. But it was easier said than done. Before she knew it, another demon, one who obviously had stayed out of the fight and was keeping an eye on her. She looked up at him and gave a nervous smile.

"Where do you think you're going?" He sneered at her.

"Uh…away?" He reached down and grabbed a hold of her kimono and pulled her up to his level.

"Wanna try that again?" This time his breath brushed against her face.

Ew…that's stinks… She had to think fast, suddenly an idea came to her. "Well I was just thinking since you sounded as stupid as you look that I could maybe get past you. I thought wrong. You're a lot smarter than you look and believe me, you look as stupid as a stick."

"Why you little bitch! I'll have your head for that remark." He pulled his free hand back, reading himself to punch her.

"Nope…you're still pretty stupid." She took this time to bring her foot back and swing it forward with a great force right into his groin. Immediately, he released his hold on her and fell to the ground in a great amount of pain.

"B…B…Bitch…" He whispered as she jumped over his form.

She high-tailed it down the corridor trying to find which way went out. It wasn't until she turned a corner did she run into something white, warm, and fluffy. She looked up to see her Sesshoumaru smiling down at her.

"I knew you would need help."

"Shut up, I got away didn't I? Besides, I didn't see you making an entrance into that demon pile to save me or anything." She looked around the corner at the sounds of demons. "Let's just go."

"Nope, can't do that. You have to finish this. By…"

"…killing them?" Rin looked up at Sesshoumaru. "You want me to kill them? But…but…I can't…"

"You want to become a demon? Then kill them." Sesshoumaru pushed Rin into the hall she just came out of.

"But…but…but…" Rin looked down the hall to see the group of pursuing demons. He's being an ass…fine, if he wants me to kill the demons then I will. You know something…this is how I got here in the first place. Rin stood up straight, a look of total panic on her face. *Gulp*…here I go…hopefully.

"Look! There's the little wench!"

"Get her!!"

Rin starred right at the demons, unfortunately that was all she could do. Her fear had froze her in that spot, this was a very bad time for her to get nervous and be frozen in her spot. Great…just perfect.

What's the matter with her? Why is she just standing there? Please don't tell me she's scared…kuso (a/n: means 'shit' in Japanese for those who don't know…^_^!). Sesshoumaru watched as Rin failed to move nor acknowledge the oncoming demons.

"This time she won't be so lucky to get away." One of the demons cried.

Rin just continued to stare at them as if they were a painting. Oh boy…this is bad…I'm dead. She forced her arms up to her face but for some reason they weren't responding to the call. …kuso…

One of the demons lunged forward. And Rin did the only thing should could, she screamed.

SLICE!!! (a/n: okay…okay…I know…but I couldn't come up with another word to put right here…dat sucks doesn't it?)

In a flash of light, the demon was gone as well as the rest of them. Rin slowly opened her eyes. "What…happened?"

"You really need to stop doing that."

"Huh? What?"

"The whole getting scared and not fighting then screaming really loud thing." Sesshoumaru looked at Rin with an annoyed look on his face. "I keep giving you all these chances to kill and you keep getting scared. You need to stop it."

"I know and I'm sorry, but I can't help it. I just get so nervous."

"Don't worry about it…we have better things to do than stay here all day. Come on…we still have to find a miko." He geustered toward a hallway, Rin didn't argue, instead she followed silently.

It was the crack of dawn and the birds seemed to be extremely perky this morning. Chirping away as if no one was there.

"…Damn birds…" Inuyasha silently growled at the stupid birds. "…don't they ever sleep-in?" His amber eyes slowly opened to see a blackbird at the end of the tree branch which he was currently occupying. "So you're the one who won't let me sleep…I hope you lived a long life…" He slowly crept toward the annoying bird and was about to catch when a voice called out.

"Inuyasha!"

"Wah!" With a loud thump, Inuyasha fell out of the tree and landed in front of the hentai monk. The blackbird then came and landed on Inuyasha's head and started to peck at it. "Ow…ow…ow…ow…ow…"

"Oh Inuyasha, you're up. Good." Miroku walked over to the fallen hanyou. "Lady Kagome and Lady Sango left earlier this morning to relax themselves. I was told to make sure you didn't hurt yourself."

"Ow…too late for that…ow…now…DAMN BIRD!!!" Inuyasha went to slap the bird and instead slapped himself. "…smart bird…"

"You're a hazard to yourself you know that?" Miroku helped Inuyasha get to his feet.

"Yes, and every woman is a hazard to your health." Inuyasha smirked.

"Check again…it's been a day and I haven't broken the bet yet." Miroku said proudly.

"Really? Well I think that'll change in time."

"I highly doubt that."

|

Kagome and Sango had decided to talk a little walk in the forest before either of the guys woke up but that had been shattered since Miroku was already up. So they still went.

"It's a beautiful day today. Don't you agree Kagome?" Sango chirped happily.

"Yes…a very beautiful day." Kagome replied in a smile. "Can I tell you something?"

"Sure." Sango continued to hold her chirpy attitude while she stopped every now and then to smell the wonderful assortment of wild flowers that grew within the forest.

"Well, Inuyasha talked to me last night—"

"That's not all you two were doing…" A evil grin appeared on Sango's face.

Kagome couldn't help but blush. "How…how…how do you know about that?"

"You two basically spent the entire night out there and then you two come walking back into the camp all giddy-like. Something had to happen between you two." Sango stopped again and picked a beautiful blood-red colored rose. "You honestly don't think we wouldn't have noticed that now did you?"

"No…" Last night kept repeating itself inside her head over and over again. "…but that's not the point…"

"Right…now what did you want to say?"

"Well…Inuyasha told me that him and Miroku made a bet…"

"Really? What kind of bet?"

"Well Miroku had to give up being a hentai for a couple of days…which is why none of us has been violated."

"I knew something was up. That explains so much." Sango continued to walk on, Kagome behind her.

"Wait till you hear what the loser has to do. If Inuyasha wins, then Miroku has to confess his deepest desire. And if Miroku wins, then Inuyasha must confess his."

"A lot on the line."

"Yeah, that's why Inuyasha thought he might be able to back Miroku into a corner."

"Make him lose? How?" Sango stopped and starred at her friend.

"With our help." Kagome had stopped as well and was now wearing a smile.

"You mean…"

"Yeah…get him to brake the bet…by making him touch one of us…you in?"

"Sure…this might be fun."

"Well we better be heading back…they're probably killing each other right about now." Kagome turned around and started back.

"You're probably right…" Sango turned and ran a little to catch up with her friend.

"One other thing…we can't let Miroku find out that we know. Okay?"

"Okay." Sango replied.
