didn't feel like it! I don't own the InuYasha characters only the
characters that I made up/ based on me and on friends are mine!
More reviews please! This is my first fic and I need reassurance of people telling me that it's good. Sorry it took me so long by the way.
Chapter Four
"Strip Poker and Demonic Powers."
As the dawn's sunlight hit the clearing Sorayu mumbled "Mine!" as she pet the bag of nuts that she slept on. InuYasha, Sesshomaru, Kouga, Naraku, and Yasai held their hand(s) over their ears to protect them from the lumberjack snoring of Shinsetsu.
Akaineko was sprawled across Naraku's lap, which was odd considering that she fell asleep in the tree above him. Suwaru had used her five tails as a bed. Yoru was a lump under the trench coat that she brought with her. Sango was asleep against the bigger form of Kirara. Kagome and Shippo were lumps in Kagome's sleeping bag.
Miroku sat up looking at the sky wide eyed. He was unable to get any sleep considering that Shinsetsu, who had fallen asleep against his back, snored like a foghorn all night.
Jakin, luckily, had been missing for a while. Rin slept under the tree that Sesshomaru was in. InuYasha was on the branch above him.
"YORU! AKAINEKO! SHINSETU!" Namida shouted.
Everyone jumped at the volume of Namida's voice. Sesshomaru fell out of the tree, just missing Rin, and InuYasha landed on top of him knocking the breath out of him. Shinsetsu didn't stir, and Akaineko rolled over.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME!?!" Namida grabbed Yoru and shook her furiously. "I LOOK LIKE A FEMALE SESSHOMARU!!!" She was right. She had one blue stripe on ether side of her face, red markings above her eyes. (picture the marks above Sesshomaru's eyes.)
"Go away..." Yoru said groggily, "and who says I did it?"
"You have a fluffy dog tail too, Namida." Sango said as she was now wide awake.
"I know!" She snapped to Sango, to Yoru she said. "Well, Akaineko looks way to happy to move. Shinsetsu can barely manage a strait line, let alone a stripe!"
There was a short silence followed by Yoru's tired reply. "Leave me alone."
Namida heard someone come up behind her, thinking it was Miroku trying to 'comfort' her, she whirled around and came face to face with Sesshomaru. Namida's face turned a bright red, after all they were so close that their noses almost touched.
"Um...Hi?" Namida said a little embarrassed.
".....................The markings might have just shown up over night." Sesshomaru said as he looked at the new markings that she had.
"Why?" Namida tried to take a step back, but her legs wouldn't respond.
"Well Naraku said that the transformation wasn't complete." He said looking at them a little too close.
Yoru sat up half asleep, "Why do my ears hurt? Why are they so close together?" Yoru went wide eyed. She looked around the clearing everyone else was also wide eyed.
"That's probably it. You're a dog demon and your transformation wasn't complete." Sesshomaru said standing up strait. "Namida?"
Namida had scuttled away as far as she could without him noticing.
*I think I made her nervous.* Sesshomaru thought.
After a couple minutes of prying Rin, Shippo, and Sorayu out of bed they walked into the forest.
"Sorayu! This is the tenth time we've had to stop and wait for you! Leave the nuts!" Akaineko said while everyone else nodded in agreement.
"No! My nuts! Mine!!" Sorayu's eye twitched.
"How about I carry them?" Namida reached out to grab the bag from Sorayu.
Green stuff, much like Sesshomaru's poison, shot from her hand. It melted the bag and the nuts inside. Namida turned around to see Sorayu's eyes slowly filling up with tears.
"I'm so sorry, Sorayu! I don't what happened or how!" Namida reached her hand forward to put it on Sorayu's shoulder. Her hand started to glow green again. Everyone jumped out of the way as the poison melted the tree behind them. "This is not my day!" Namida said.
"Sesshomaru teach her how to use those!" InuYasha said, he had dived on Yoru and Kagome to save them.
"Don't worry, I will! That poison hit what was my left arm! Damn that stuff hurts!" Sesshomaru put his hand where the poison hit.
"I'm so sorry!" Namida rushed over, her hands dripped with poison.
"It's fine." He said.
Suddenly a bright blue-green glow blinded everyone. The glow vanished as fast as it came. Once they could see again they saw Sesshomaru unconscious. Namida and Akaineko were the first to make sure he was ok. It turned out that Namida's poison had healing properties, because Sesshomaru's left arm was fully healed.
Sesshomaru woke up to see Namida and Akaineko staring down at him.
"You alright?" Namida and Akaineko said at the same time.
"Just shocked." He moved his left arm. He was a little that Namida was worried and apparently it showed because what Akaineko said surprised them both.
"I'm glad you're ok. I wouldn't want anything to happen to Namida's lover." Akaineko said in a very sweet tone of voice, Namida shot her a glare.
"I'm glad everyone's alive too. But I'm hungry! Can we get some food?!" Yasai said breaking up the sweet moment.
Kagome took her backpack off and dug through it. "Sorry, everyone, but it looks like I'm out of food. But Kaede's hut isn't too far off."
"Good we'll eat there." Akaineko said, she apparently was also hungry.
Poor Sorayu had remained quiet the entire time, but no one paid any mind to her. The finally arrived at the rice patties, where a couple people sat down to rest.
"Hey, guys! I have a great idea!!" Akaineko said.
"I thought you were hungry?" Namida said, she was a little mad that Akaineko and Yasai had stopped a possible kiss.
"I can wait. How about we all play strip poker?" Akaineko smiled. "And to make it even more interesting, the first one to loose all of their clothes has to streak."
"Namida, what is strip poker?" Sesshomaru asked her.
"Umm........" *Crap! How am I going to explain this?!* "It's where you play poker and when you do badly you take off a piece of clothing. And the first person to loose all of their clothes looses the game." She leaned back and whispered so that only he could hear. "You and I have the best chance of winning, we have the most layers on."
"Should Rin, Shippo, and Sorayu be here while we play?" Kagome said eyeing the three younger ones.
"Kagome! What are ye doing here?!" Kaede's voice made them turn and look.
"Kaede! Would you look after them for us?" Kagome asked.
"Alright, but who are ye new friends?"
"Oh. This is Shinsetsu, Namida, Yoru, Sorayu, Akaineko, and Suwaru. They are all new demons that are going to help us along our journey." Kagome explained.
"But what about—"Kaede said.
"Don't worry about Naraku or Sesshomaru. They're Akaineko's and Namida's boyfriends." Sango said, making Namida, Sesshomaru and Naraku blush. Akaineko on the other hand looked very pleased.
Kaede started walking away when Kouga caught up with her. "I'm coming too. I'm hungry."
With the little ones gone, the group sat down in a circle as Kagome got the cards out and explained how to play. Most everyone targeted Akaineko because she seemed to always have the worst hand. Naraku had a different reason; Akaineko was the one responsible for making him a little more than half naked.
"You lost fair and square, Akaineko." Yoru said.
"Take it off." Naraku said.
"One condition, you too!" Akaineko said, smirking.
Naraku thought for a moment, "Fine." He finally said.
They both pulled off their last garments as Namida spoke up, "Only Akaineko has to streak though." She only had her bra and underwear left.
"I don't mind." Akaineko said.
"Go then." Namida said and pointed in the direction Akaineko was to run in.
"Bye!" Akaineko said and took off.
After she was gone Suwaru spoke up, "It surprises me. Akaineko is the best at poker and she lost, and I'm the worst at poker and I won."
"Judging by what I have seen from her, I'll bet she lost on purpose." Sesshomaru said. He only had the fluffy-thing left.
"Ye children are nuts!!" Kaede's voice startled everyone. "Ye could have al least done that in the woods instead of the rice patties!!"
Namida walked up behind Kaede, "We're only playing strip poker."
"It's not as bad as it looks." Shinsetsu came up behind Namida. She had her arm over her chest, for she only had underwear on.
"Where is Kouga?" Namida asked.
"He said he wasn't feeling well. So he is resting." Kaede said.
Shippo, Rin, and Sorayu poked their heads out of the door.
"Children avert thine eyes!" Kaede said to them.
"But we want to see!" Shippo begged.
"Ye ain't old enough!" Kaede said pushing them back into the hut.
Namida and Shinsetsu looked at each other and decided it best to go back and get dressed in the rice patties.
Once they reached the group they found that they had all already put their clothes on.
"Naraku's been oddly quiet." Yasai said.
"He's hiding something." Sesshomaru said.
Namida pulled her Sesshomaru shirt off the ground and tried to brush the dirt off. "What's he hiding?" She shook the shirt furiously trying to get the dirt off. "Damn. If I ever get home, I'll have to wash this."
"That would be why I'm happy that my costume is black and purple." Shinsetsu said.
"What are they doing at Kaede's hut? Eating? If so, I'm envious." Yasai was taking the 'subtle' rout in saying that he was hungry.
"Well, Kouga wasn't feeling well, and I guess the others are eating." Shinsetsu said.
"I'll have to ask if Kaede has any kimonos I can wear." Namida said glaring at her Sesshomaru pants.
They reached the hut and Kaede handed a kimono to Namida the second she saw her.
"Can we have one too?" Yoru asked.
Kaede nodded and walked into a back room as Namida followed to get dressed.
Namida came back with the other kimonos, she had already put hers on, and Kaede came back with some food for them. Miroku let out a whistle when he saw Namida and the other girls in their new kimonos.
Namida had a white and blue kimono with silver designs on it. Yoru had a green and white with red flowers on it. Suwaru had a black with blue designs. Shinsetsu didn't want a kimono, she said she was happy with what she had on. The same went for Sorayu and Akaineko was still streaking.
Sesshomaru had been pestering Naraku about what he was hiding from them. When Naraku was about to say what he was hiding Akaineko came stumbling into the hut.
"Hide me! ...Villagers... chasing... hitting me with rocks...They hit my head...butt... and back...One smashed my tail." She whined.
Kaede tossed a kimono to her and hit her in the face causing her to fall over backwards.
All of them started laughing. In the middle of the laughing fit Kouga blacked out.
Sorayu was the first to notice. "Kouga, noooooooooo!" She cried.
Namida rolled her eyes. "Drama queen." Well again I'm sorry it took me so long to get this one up. I'm having horrible writers block. So it might be a longer wait for the next chapter.
