Okay I'm back here's the chapter hope u like it :)
"Sango!" he yelled and all the eyes of the conscious in the hall turned toward him. Inuyasha recovered first.
"Sorry to disappoint you, houshi, but she ain't here." Inuyasha said.
"I see that now, Inuyasha, but where is she?" Miroku said with as much patience as he could possibly have and even then his voice was strained.
Emerald cleared her throat.
"She's downstairs in the dungeons with that cat demon."
Miroku stood up and picked up his staff, which had fallen to the floor when he was knocked out. Then with the politeness only Miroku could have in a situation like this, turned to Emerald and said:
"Then could you, fair maiden, be so kind as to direct me to her."
Emerald widened her eyes in mock amazement." I didn't believe it possible but there are still cute guys with manners."
Inuyasha snorted. Emerald turned and glared daggers at him. "Which is more than I can say for my moron of a cousin. I'd be happy to. Please follow me and excuse the less than warm welcome my father's guards gave you but you can never be too careful nowadays."
She walked over to the door behind the throne but instead of going through it she walked right past it and a few feet from the brass knob began poking at the wall as though searching for something.
She apparently found it because she let out a small 'aha' and applied pressure to the spot. Miroku, Kagome, and Inuyasha, who had snuck up behind Miroku - Kagome with Shippou in her arms- during Emeralds search, looked at her in confusion.
"I don't remember that being there." Stated Inuyasha.
"Newly built. It's a laundry shoot." With those parting words she dove in headfirst.
Miroku hesitated for a moment before remembering that Sango was supposed to be in that direction. He dove without a second thought.
Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other.
"Isn't it a little odd that a laundry shoot would be in a throne room?" Kagome wondered out loud staring at the shoot.
Inuyasha shrugged. "This is whole place is really weird. It's supposed to be a hideout. There are trapdoors and secret passages hidden all over the place. This one probably doubles as a laundry shoot."
"Oh... so are you going down the shoot or not?"
"Ladies first," Said the hanyou simply while gesturing toward the shoot. A grin graced his face.
Kagome shook her head. "I would go first but I'd squash Shippou when I land I need u to catch him at the bottom."
"But-"
The now awake Shippou jumping out of Kagome's arms, running over to the shoot yelling, "slide" and jumping in on his back and headfirst cut Inuyasha short.
(A.N.: that is OOC of Shippou but it's late and I'm lazy.)
They could here him giggling all the way down.
Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other.
"I thought he was unconscious." Said Kagome.
"Me too."
"I can't believe he slid down like that."
"That's nothing." Inuyasha boasted.
"Oh and I suppose you would slide down like that." Kagome said her eyebrows raised.
"Yeah I would."
"Go on then."
Inuyasha put this stupid macho smirk on his face that annoyed Kagome to no end and strutted over to the shoot and threw himself down in the same style as Shippou.
The instant he was out of sight an evil smirk graced Kagome's lips
"Sucker!" she yelled as she threw herself down the shoot but on her stomach face first.
Kagome felt as though she were on Inuyasha's back as she nearly flew through the twisting shoot. It was pitch black and Kagome enjoyed the exhilarating feeling for about 10 seconds until she saw a light at the end. She flew out of the end and on top of everyone's favorite hanyou. When Kagome opened her eyes (having squeezed them shut on the way down) her face was centimeters away from Inuyasha's. She was still panting from the ride down but took no notice of it. All that she could think about was the fact that she was lying on top of Inuyasha and her lips were approximately half an inch away from his. The thing was he hadn't pushed her off yet.
'Probably forgot who I a-'
Her thoughts were interrupted by Inuyasha leaning up slightly and capturing her lips with his. At first Kagome was too shocked to do anything but freeze that got Inuyasha a little worried but as soon as she responded the hanyou was happier than the first time he ate ramen.
They were so caught up in each other that unbeknownst to them they had an audience. Emerald, Shippou, and even Miroku stopped worrying about Sango and Kirara to watch, with their jaws pretty much on the floor, what looked like Kagome and Inuyasha making out in a pile of dirty laundry. Emerald remembered Shippou and covered his eyes. Now normally the kit would have protested and moved away but Kagome was like his mom. Put yourself in his place! Kagome pulled back to look at Inuyasha with confusion in her eyes. Inuyasha looked like a scared puppy. Absolutely terrified of Kagome's reaction, he looked for a possible route of escape.
'She's gonna sit me into next week.'
Kagome caught the panicked look in his eyes and decided to reassure him that she wasn't mad and tapped his lips with hers. Now it was Kagome's turn to be anxious, maybe she had misread the look on his face. Her doubts were reassured when Inuyasha's face cracked into the most genuine smile she had ever seen on him. Kagome couldn't help but smile as well.
That's when someone started clapping. It turned out to be Emerald, who had forgotten about Shippou. She couldn't ever remember ever seeing her cousin that genuinely happy. Emerald was soon joined by Miroku and then even Shippou but if they standing on their heads doing the hula he probably would have joined in too.
"That was so cute!" Emerald added faking tears.
Kagome jumped when she heard the noise. Inuyasha already know they were there he had just decided to ignore them.
Kagome rolled off Inuyasha whilst turning an interesting shade of orangish red.
"How long have you been standing there?" she asked.
"The whole time, You guys were just too busy to notice." Emerald answered as she helped Kagome stand up. Inuyasha glared at anyone who looked at him.
"If no one else has any objections I'd like to find Sango." Said Miroku
"Whoops guess I forgot about her. Inuyasha, pick Shippou up I think you guys have scarred him for life." Inuyasha got up and tucked Shippou under his arm. The kit still didn't move. Inuyasha shrugged it off. He'd get over it. Right now he wasn't worried about Shippou. He was concerned about Kagome. She seemed embarrassed that she had kissed him.
'Of course she did you're a hanyou. Who wouldn't be ashamed of you?' A voice in his head taunted him.
Inuyasha tried to suppress the voice but it kept nagging at him. One question haunted his mind as Emerald led them through a on the right side of the room. Is she ashamed of me?
The door led to a flight of old unstable looking wooden stairs. As they descended down the steps all of them groped at the wall to their right. The little light that the torches lining the wall every few feet made things even more difficult. When the finally reached the bottom of the steps (first Emerald then Kagome, Miroku, and Inuyasha with Shippou) the sight wasn't pleasant. The cells went on for a good distance each one the same: bitterly cold, dark, and depressing. Miroku moved forward looking for Sango leaving Inuyasha and Kagome in the back. Kagome trembled so violently Inuyasha gave her a worried look.
"You ok?"
She nodded without looking at him. Inuyasha didn't buy it.
"No you aren't."
He was about to question her further when he felt Shippou wiggling under his arm. One look at the kit's terrified face told him that the baby kitsune wanted Kagome so he handed him to the miko without a second thought.
Kagome obviously was happier holding Shippou and Shippou seemed thoroughly happy at being in his surrogate mother's arms.
During that little exchange, Emerald walked about halfway down until she came to a specific cell. She proceeded to take off one of her rings and use it as a key. The cell door creaked as it opened. Miroku stepped inside to find Sango in her exterminator suit curled up with a transformed Kirara in the corner. Sango's closed eyes and deep breaths told him that she was asleep but her furrowed forehead told him that her dreams weren't pleasant. Miroku wasn't surprised she was asleep they had been up all night riding Kirara. The only one that had slept was Shippou. Kirara was awake and alert having apparently been told to wake her mistress if anyone came into the cell she licked her companion's face until her eyes opened sleepily. Her eyebrows furrowed at being awakened.
"Miroku? What are you doing here?"
"Getting you out." He answered simply. "Can you stand?"
"Yes. Did you find Inuyasha and Kagome?"
He nodded his head.
"They're waiting for us as we speak. Are you sure you're all right?" he asked watching her struggle to stand.
"They threw me in here and I landed on my hip I think it might be bruised but don't worry I'll be-"
She didn't get to finish because Miroku had picked her up bridal style. Then he proceeded to walk out of the cell Kirara behind him. Sango was too tired to argue so she buried her face in his chest and drifted off to sleep.
Okay there it is. The 4th chapter of the revised Drops of Venus hope enjoyed it leave me one if u did if u didn't kiss my ass cuz I don't care.
