Just to say, this story is not exactly on top of my priority list, so updates are questionable. In other words, DON'T EXPECT FAST UPDATAGE!!! That said, I'd like to thank all of my reviewers! All of you are kind, way too kind….sniffles But anyway, on with the fic!

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own Inuyasha. If I did, then Sesshomaru would be the main character and Miroku would get more screen time. :D

Ch. 4: Can You Hook Us Up?

Two days had passed, yet something seemed amiss. The three boys of the Inu-gumi looked up. The sky was blue and mostly clear. They looked side-to-side. Nope, no demons. So what could be the problem? Suddenly, the answer occurred to Inuyasha.

"AREN'T THOSE DAMN WENCHES DONE WITH THEIR FUCKING BATHS YET!?!?"

------------------------

"Do you think they've noticed we're gone yet?" asked Sango as she and Kagome slinked in the forest towards the well.

"Naaaaaaaaaah…… I mean, it's INUYASHA we're talking about here. He knows better than to check to see if we're still bathing and he's not exactly the sharpest arrow in the quiver, if you know what I mean."

The two girls giggled and Sango added," Although, I have to admit, Houshi-sama might suspect something's up."

Kagome slyly hinted, "You have a crush on him, don't you?"

Sango yelled "OF COURSE I DON'T!" and stomped ahead, sporting a suspiciously flushed face. Kagome chuckled and inwardly cheered as she came closer and closer to the portal, counting down the seconds until the well came into view.

Three………..two-

"PEEKABOO!!! WE SEE YOUUUUUU!!!"

"KYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT!!!" Kagome yelped.

Kagura and Kanna looked at her weirdly. Kagome sweatdropped and sheepishly explained," I thought you were Inuyasha."

"Oh….." Kagura said nodding. Kanna remained silent, sporting her normally expressionless appearance.

Remembering who they were, Kagome blanched and defensively asked," H-hang on, what are you doing here?! Are you after Inuyasha again?!"

Kagura looked at her with a 'you've GOT to be kidding me' expression and drawled," We DO have lives outside of trying to off him, you know."

Kanna titled her head in question and asked," We do?"

DING DING DING! Kanna had just won first prize from 'Wrath of Kagura Co.' Glaring at the older demon, Kanna fell into a sulky silence while nursing her newly acquired bump.

"So what DO you guys want?" Kagome asked with unmasked curiosity.

"Well………" Kagura blushed and started twiddling her thumbs.

"Kagura-san wishes for Kagome-san to help her in her plan to hook up with a 'hot and sexy piece of man-meat' ," Kanna bluntly stated. While Kagome's eyes bugged out, Kagura angrily chased Kanna around, with battle cries of "YOU BRAT" and "YOU ONLY OPEN YOUR MOUTH TO HUMILIATE ME".

Kagome giggled," You guys argue like sisters!"

The two female demons looked at her blankly and stated, "Uh, we ARE." Kagome sweatdropped.

"Kagome-chan! Where are you?!" echoed the voice of Sango along with Kirara's concerned mews.

"YAY!! More helpers!" Kagura cheered.

Kagome sweatdropped and asked," What exactly are you devising in that scary place you call a mind?"

As Sango jogged into the clearing holding Kirara, Kagura winked at Kagome and teased, "That would be Naraku, my dear."

------------------------------------

"M'Lord!! You've got mail!" Jaken exclaimed as he burst into Sesshomaru's study.

"……….has the art of knocking become lost to you Jaken? I am currently busy; I will read the letter at another time," Sesshomaru ordered as he waved his hand dismissively.

Jaken sweatdropped as he noticed the mess of origami, tic-tac toe games, and doodles of Inuyasha with devil horns and a tail scattered across his desk.

"Who is it from?" Sesshomaru sighed, noticing his lackey's blank stare.

"I think it's from another Demon Lord, Sesshomaru-sama."

The Western Lord daintily snatched the letter from Jaken and opened it. As he read, the air around him seemed to tense and cackle with the anticipation of bad news.

Jaken inwardly moaned, Oh holy mother of cra-

Sesshomaru tore the letter to miniscule pieces and stated, "Fanmail. How quaint. Now leave me, I have urgent matters to attend to."

"F-f-FANMAIL?! But M'lord, the envelope was drenched in BLOOD!"

"You say that as if my nose could not pick up such a scent."

Jaken gulped.

Noticing his nervousness, Sesshomaru smirked and thought, He expects punishment, does he? Then I should not disappoint.

Sesshomaru gracefully stood up and strode to a case on the other side of the room. The quaking Jaken peeked behind his hands to watch what his master was doing, only to realize his punishment.

Tetsusaiga.

Tensaiga.

"Oh. Shit."

--------------------------------

The four girls were sitting in a circle (Kirara was napping on Sango's lap), finishing the last details of Kagura's plan.

"So, as you see, our goals coincide; you can get back what's rightfully yours and I can claim….heheheehehe," Kagura trailed off, floating into Lala Land.

Kagome and Sango exchanged glances. It SEEMED reasonable enough, but could Kagura be trusted?

Flashback

"Now that Sango's calmed down, we can let you in on our grand scheme of things," Kagura began. Kagome nodded enthusiastically, while Sango remained motionless, obviously distrusting the two Naraku clones. Kirara growled and positioned herself for a quick pounce, trusting them as much as occupants of a prison cell.

"We have heard that Sesshomaru of the Western Lands has stolen the Tetsusaiga, leaving the hanyou pretty much defenseless." Kagome glared as Sango held the teenager back from maiming the wind witch.

Kagura ignored Kagome's strangling motions and continued, "So, here's our deal; we help you guys get into Sesshomaru's castle so you can steal back Tetsusaiga……HOWEVER. You leave Sesshomaru to me." She licked her lips and continued," I've heard he denies all women…… he's sure to be an EXCELLENT conquest."

End Flashback

As Kanna tried to snap Kagura out of her daydream, Kagome looked at Sango helplessly.

"Sango-chan…… I've been so useless except for finding the shards. Maybe….. maybe if I get Tetsusaiga back…….maybe then…." Sango patted Kagome's head and smiled.

"Okay Kagome. I'll help you. Inuyasha needs to see how strong you really are." Sango turned towards the two demons and took a breath.

"We're in."
