INUYASHA VERSION OF THE RING

~*~Chapter Five: GROUNDED!~*~

~Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha, or The Ring. Aw, man! That sucks. . .oh well. . .Enjoy the story!! *runs off to find something InuYasha-like to own*~

". . .I just want you to know that, I'm. . .thankful. . .for that." "Really?" Miroku asked, raising his eyebrows, smiling. "Really." Sango replied, "Really."

"Domo arigatou gosaimazu!. . ." Miroku thanked the Tajiya. "Uh-h. . .excuse me. . .is my onesan, Kagome, here?" came a small, quiet voice. Sango turned her head to the door and saw Kagome's little brother, Sota, standing there, his arms behind his back. "Sota? What are you doing here?" "My mom wants Kagome to come home. Kagome left without doing her chores. Teehee. . .oh, a neko! Here, neko. . ." Sota ran over to Kirara, stroking her ears. "That's a neko-YOUKAI, Sota. . .careful. . .she, uh, can "catch on fire". . ." Sango winced as Sota moved a soot-covered hand away from Kirara, who had flames coming off her body, after she was being rubbed the wrong way from the little ototo, Sota.

"SOTA! What're you doing here?? I'm not in trouble, am I?" Kagome ran over to him. "Um, duh? Ya, of course you are! Mom got pissed 'cause you left without picking up all your clothes in your room! Have you looked at it lately? I mean, you've got freakin' clothes hanging from your ceiling fan! You better get home right now." "Uh, Sota? Right now isn't a good time. . .we're trying to find a way to save Sango. . .and. . .me. . ." Kagome squeaked. "Um, what're you talking about, onesan?" Sota looked up at Kagome with big, sparkling, eyes. "See, uh, well, Sango and I are going to. . .die. . .in 5 days if we don't find a way to save ourselves. We watched a, uh, erm, cursed. . .tape." "COOL! I mean, oh, I'm so sorry. I hardly even knew you." Sota exclaimed. "OW-W! KAGOME!" Sota rubbed his head as Kagome punched him hard with her fists. "Gomen nasai. . ." Sota apologized. "Hai. . .it's all right. Well, I better go, Sango. Bye, Miroku. Erm, InuYasha? You could come. . .if you wanna." (A/N: Kagome cleaned Inu up pretty quickly and now he's up and about. . .he's a demon, so he heals quick, you know. . .) InuYasha looked up at Kagome and said, "Well, I GUESS I could come with. . .it's quicker if I take you." "So. . .you're saying, you WANT to HELP me?" "Feh. It's just quicker if I take you."

Kagome nodded and she and Sota crawled on InuYasha's back. He leaped out the window and Kagome waved goodbye, turning back to face InuYasha.

"Dang. . .I can't believe InuYasha ACTUALLY wants to help Kagome-Chan clean her room! Once, I even got lost in there!!!!!. . .And Kagome was supposed to stay with me the rest of the week. . ." Sango murmured. Miroku looked up at her and saw the opportunity. "You know, anata, I could stay with you. . .heh. . ." "Don't even think about it, Miroku-Sama. Kagome is most likely gonna come back here. Don't keep your hopes up." Sango balled her hand into a fist and lightly conked Miroku on the head as he attempted to grope her. He sighed. As Sango walked out, Miroku watched intently. . .oh, how her hips swayed back and forth with every step she took. . .that was one thing that turned Miroku on. That, and her slender, curving body, along with that raven black hair, and, not to mention, her graceful movements. . .she definitely showed that off when battling in the Feudal Era.

A few years ago, Sango and Kirara, Miroku, InuYasha, and Shippou, all lived in the Feudal Era. It was only since they had all been born had they lived there. Then, Kagome ventured down the well, after being pulled into it by one of the otherworldly creatures. Kagome had first met InuYasha after releasing him from a spell, then met Miroku in a village when InuYasha picked a fight with the monk, then Sango came along when she nearly killed InuYasha with Hiraikotsu. Then Kagome invited all of them to come and live with her. So. . .that's where they are today.

Sango ran to another room to pick up the phone as soon as she heard it ring.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Sango. It's me."

"Oh. Hey."

"Listen, I won't be able to come back over. I'm grounded. . .damn."

"Oh-h, well that sucks."

"I know! AUUGH! The little brat had to come over and tell my mom! I swear, I'm gonna kill him!! SOTA!! GET OVER HERE!!"

Another voice came from the receiver: WHAT?! NO, GET AWAY FROM ME, KAGOME!! OW-W! OW, OW, OW-W-W-W!!!! LE' GO OF MY HEAD!! OW!! STOP!! NO!! GET AWAY!! FINE, FINE!! I WON'T TELL ON YOU AGAIN FOR NOT CLEANING YOUR STUPID ROOM!! JUST. . .LET. . .ME. . .GO!!

"Sorry, Sango. Had to go beat up that little runt."

Sango could hear groaning and moaning.

"Uh-h. . .that's okay?"

"Sorry, you had to hear that, Sango-Chan."

"Uh, yeah. Whatever. . .*sigh*. . .I just wish that Kohaku was still alive. . .he just HAD to go out with his classmate, Reiko, to the movies, and then they just died in that damn car accident! It wasn't even his fault! Some trucker swerved at him, crushing and totaling the whole damn car! And now, I've got myself cussing about the whole damn accident that was caused by some damn yaro! Damn it! Damn it all!"

"S––Sango? Are you okay?"

"NO! I'M NOT!! CAN'T YOU TELL?!"

"Uh, sorta."

"WELL, THERE'S YOUR ANSWER! *sigh* I'm sorry. . .I'm just so ticked off that Kohaku died. . .and I'm getting' mad at you when it's not even your fault. . .sorry, Kagome-Chan."

"'Sokay."

"But, you should be thankful to have a brother."

"Yeah. . .guess I am. . .hunh?"

"Yeah. . .oh, gotta go!"

"Later."

CLICK.

Sango ran from the room to her bedroom, seeing Miroku bouncing up and down on her bed, cheering to Shippou, "Maybe. . .since Kagome's not coming over. . .Sango will let ME stay here! Won't that be cool, Shippou?. . .Oh, uh, h––hi, Sango-Chan. You're wondering why I am bouncing up and down, aren't you?" ". . .Yeah. . .it doesn't look right." "I think Miroku might be high, Sango. . .he's acting like a retard. . ." Shippou grunted. Sango crinkled her face at the thought. "Miroku, Miroku, Mir. . .GET OFF MY BED!" Sango screeched as Miroku kept bouncing and in turn, he hit his head on her ceiling, crashing to the ground on top of her. "Uhhh. . .Miroku, please get off me. . .HENTAI!!" Sango's hand made contact with Miroku's face. Almost immediately, he snatched her hand and rubbed it against his cheek. "Ahhh. . .such a wonderful feeling. . ."

(Shippou after hearing this does the classic Anime fall, along with Sango.)

The phone started to ring again. "Oh, be right back. Shippou, watch Miroku for me, will you?" Shippou nodded as Sango ran to get the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Sango! It's ME, again! Guess what, guess what, guess what?"

"Um, what?"

"Well, okay. Since InuYasha helped me clean my room, muh momma's gonna let me stay with you for the rest of the week!"

"Well, she sure changed her mind quick."

"Ya, I know!"

"So, Inu's bringing you back over, right?"

"Ya."

"Oh, shoot. Miroku's jumping up and down on my bed again. . .*sigh, groan*"

"WHAT THE HECK?"

"I KNOW! Gotta go!"

CLICK.

"MIROKU! WHAT'RE YOU DOING?? I ALREADY TOLD YOU NOT TO JU––" Sango started to say, but stopped mid-way because as she looked at Miroku, the bed collapsed under Shippou's weight. "Oh, I thought it was you, Miroku-Sama. . ." "Naw, it's all right, Sango-Chan." Miroku said. "Sango, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to. . .I, I. . .I. . ." Shippou squeaked. Sango sighed in exasperation as she slumped down her door-way, onto the floor. "That bed- post. . .cost me $500!!" Shippou cringed as the last leg on the bed cracked and hit him on the head. Kagome stepped inside the window with InuYasha and. . . . .

~Okay. I got this chapter finally finished. I kinda got writer's block at the end when Miroku was on her bed and it crashed. . .ya. . .I don' really think that part was funny. . .but, that's just me. Ya. Feh. LOL I ALWAYS wanted to say that! ^-^ Oh, time for another voting thing! Since I'm not LuckyCloud9 anymore, I need a new catch-phrase like I had 'Catch you on the flip side! Peace out.' for my ol' pen name. Or. . .if you want me to keep it, just send me an email, etc. Or a REVIEW might be nice. . .hint, hint. *glints eyes* C'mon. . .it's waiting for you. . .(^.~)~
