VOTING: Guess what? B won, so sit back and enjoy!
Kaze no Kagura: I think your review is the longest one I've ever gotten. XD. Thank you so much for pointing out the positive AND negative points about my fic. And yeah, the karaoke thing was pretty random, I was just having a little bit of writers block. Also, people have been nagging me to make the chapters longer, so I had to appease them. I'm witty? :D Thanks again! Duo the Dark Magician: Jeez, you've reviewed for almost every chapter! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! *blushes* I don't think that my chapters were all that good but if you say so..
Disclaimer: Bananas are yellow. Sum41 rocks. I don't own Inuyasha. That's the way things work.
Ch. 6: Dear Fluffy
Miroku and Inuyasha were poised outside of Sesshomaru's campsite, anxiously anticipating the demon lord's awakening. As to how they got there, that could be explained by the events of two days ago...
******************FLASHBACK*********************
Inuyasha proudly boasted about his plan. "You see, I know a couple of guys that SEEM gay, but nobody actually thinks that. If we go ask one of them for advice, then we're set!"
Miroku incredulously asked," Do you just ACT stupid so I feel awed in moments like these?"
Inuyasha scowled and yelled," OI! What does that mean?!"
Miroku nervously chuckled," Oh, hehe, just a joke." Then seriously asked," But who are these guys?"
Inuyasha matter-of-factly stated," Naraku and Sesshomaru."
Miroku and Inuyasha were silent for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"*snicker* Naraku *snicker* gay?! BWHAHAHAHA!"
"*chuckle* F-f-feh..HAHAHAHAHAA!!!" After a couple of minutes, they finally settled down.
Miroku ventured," Okay, Naraku is not an option, but on the other hand Sesshomaru is just as less likely to help. How would we ask for his advice?"
"Well," grinned Inuyasha," when I was little, I always used to play pranks on him."
Miroku formed a wry grin as a picture of Sesshomaru tripping over Inuyasha's outstretched foot entered his mind, followed by a mental image of Sesshomaru opening a door and being drenched by an overhanging bucket.
Inuyasha, as if sensing Miroku's thoughts, wistfully murmured," Ah yes, those were the good old days..." He cleared his throat and continued, "Well, if we place letters wherever he goes asking for the same old advice, eventually he'll crack. I mean, one of his only fears is of stalkers."
Miroku didn't ask about how Inuyasha knew that, but instead asked," How would we do this without getting caught? He can smell us, remember?"
Inuyasha boasted," Oh, I thought of that alright. We can just have Kaede use a spell on us to remove our scents. She used it to spy on me and Kikyo when she was a brat, so she's had practice."
Miroku stood up and said," Well then, what are we waiting for?! I'll go ask Kaede-sama for her help while you go tell Kagome-sama that she can go home for awhile."
"Feh, whatever. At least Sango had to go exterminate some demon in a nearby village so she's out of our hair."
And that leads us to the present.
*******************************************************
Sesshomaru had told Jaken he was going on a "soul-search" to find himself, so he (Jaken) had to stay behind at the castle and watch Rin. Of course, that was just fancy talk for saying "you're ticking me off so I'm going far far away for a long long time". It was the dawn of his second week of freedom, and as he groomed himself, he couldn't help but feel as if something bad was going to occur to him in the near future.
*********************************************************
Miroku and Inuyasha, waiting in the bushes, patiently waited for the dog demon to find their little surprise.
Inuyasha whispered," Okay, he's going to find the letter in three...two...." *****************************************************
Sesshomaru then noticed a scroll on top of his pack. He undid the seal and unrolled the parchment to read:
Dear Fluffy, Since so many people think that you are gay, how do you convince them otherwise? Please shout out the answer as soon as possible.
-Friendly Forest Critters
And without further ado, Sesshomaru ripped the note up into little pieces and stormed out of the campsite.
**************************************************************
It was dawn the next day, and Inuyasha and Miroku had caught up with Sesshomaru at his new campsite.
Miroku panted," *gasp* How can you *pant* keep walking *wheeze* for so long?"
Inuyasha brushed it off and bragged," I'm part demon, much better than you lowly mortals. Of course I have more energy."
Sweat-dropping, Miroku planted a scroll on Sesshomaru's pack. Then he and Inuyasha hid in a nearby tree.
***************************************************************
Sesshomaru woke up and lazily stretched. His eye glanced over to his pack and saw that another scroll was there. Curiosity getting the better of him, he checked the contents, much different than yesterday:
Dear Fluffy, We asked you politely to answer us, but did you listen? Nooooo. We will continue to hunt you until you answer us. We WILL have our way. To remind you of the question, here it is: Since so many people think you are gay, how do you convince them otherwise?
-Very Big Forest Critters
Sesshomaru unflinchingly tore this letter to itty bitty pieces. However, just to spite the authors of the note, he kept camp and stayed for the day.
************************************************************ Around Midnight...
Miroku drowsily asked," Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha answered," Feh, what, can't sleep?"
"No, it's not that, I was just wondering, when will he crack?" Miroku sleepily replied.
"Soon. Very soon." Inuyasha ominously spoke. As soon as Miroku fell asleep, Inuyasha crept over to Sesshomaru's campsite and placed the third scroll by the demon lord's side. Inuyasha then forced himself to think of ramen and drool practically flew out of his mouth onto his elder brother. With his mission complete, he crept back to the tree and lightly slumbered.
*********************************************************
Morning, around 8:00
Sesshomaru was not in his happy place. He woke up with his favorite outfit covered in saliva and a scroll digging into his side. Without changing out of his clothes, he contemplated reading the letter. Deciding he would like to hear the excuse that it held, he undid the seal and read the contents:
Fluffy- Answer our question and we'll spare your life.
-VERY Big and Hungry Forest Critters
The letter didn't faze him at all. He was only shivering because of.. of his clothes! No, he wasn't afraid of some large youkai stalker without a scent..No, not him! But nonetheless, he hurriedly got on a new set of clothes and set a record time for closing camp.
***********************************************************
Miroku and Inuyasha stealthily crept after the full demon, making little noises so that he would be aware that they were following him. Miroku risked a glance towards Inuyasha and almost burst out laughing at the expression on his face. He looked like a little kid on Christmas morning! Inuyasha, sensing Miroku's stare, looked at him and said in a rather loud British accent, "Well, me mate, this is a jolly good hunt!" He then abruptly picked up Miroku and sped him over to a patch of bushes a bit away. Miroku was about to ask why when he noticed the jittery Sesshomaru poison-fang-ing everything in sight where they were 2 seconds ago. Noticing the lack of composure on the usually stoic dog demon, they burst out laughing, Inuyasha just barely getting Miroku out of the line of fire in time.
***********************************************************
It was almost dusk and Sesshomaru had set up camp long ago but hadn't done anything else. He seemed lost in his thoughts as sat on the ground with his arms hugging his legs and rocking to and fro with wide, terrified eyes. With every little noise he jumped and looked around madly for the source. In short, he looked like a sugar-high psycho.
******************************************************
Inside a nearby cave, Miroku and Inuyasha were munching on some chips that Kagome had given them for the trip while playing poker. So far Inuyasha was kicking Miroku's ass, since he had managed to so far get a full house, strait, four of a kind, and, on one of his worst rounds, three of a kind. And as for Miroku...he had jack squat. Inuyasha slammed his cards on the ground and sneered, "Read 'em and weep, Monk. A Royal Flush!" Miroku hung his head and put down his cards, a pair of twos.
**********************************************************
Sesshomaru had stayed up all night thinking. If he let them in on his "secret", then they would leave him alone. But giving in would be a blow to his pride! He pondered for a second when a rustle in the bushes made him duck under his blankets. He had decided. Tomorrow, he would tell them.
***********************************************************
It was the dawn of a beautiful day. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, Miroku was flat broke, and Sesshomaru was feeling the effects of paranoia. Inuyasha poked Miroku awake when he heard his half- brother call out," Very well, "friends", I will let you in on my secret. It's not like I'm scared or anything, I just tire of this silly charade."
Miroku and Inuyasha perked up when they heard the demon lord's announcement. They grinned at each other and prepared to be enlightened. Sesshomaru matter-of-factly stated," I kill all those who oppose me. I am also a very well known pimp, womanizer, and sex god." His head swelled as he held the victory sign and cackled," OHOHOHOHO!!!! BEST IN THE WORLD, BABY!!!!"
Miroku and Inuyasha face-faulted as Sesshomaru continued his "OHOHOHO"-ing that would make Kodachi Kuno and Ayeka proud (A/N: From Ranma ½ and Tenchi Muyo! respectively)
*******************************************
Packing up their stuff, Miroku sarcastically asked Inuyasha," Well, do you have any other bright ideas? I mean, this one worked out SO well.."
Inuyasha retorted," Feh, just because he didn't give any useful advice doesn't mean this was a failure." Miroku looked up at him, his head cocked slightly in question.
Inuyasha continued," If for nothing else, scaring Fluffy shitless was priceless!"
Miroku chuckled in agreement, but in the back of his mind he wondered if maybe he could use the stalker routine to get answers from a certain youkai-slayer...
BLOOPERS!!! BLOOPER 1: Sesshomaru then noticed a scroll on top of his pack. He undid the seal and unrolled the parchment to read:
Dear Fluffy, Are you in need of more money? Are you sick of depending on a man and are looking for financial independence? Ladies, change all that! Join Heavenly Bodies, we're looking for dancers, waitresses, and cocktail servers!
BLOOPER 2: Miroku and Inuyasha perked up when they heard the demon lord's announcement. They grinned at each other and prepared to be enlightened.
Sesshomaru burst into tears as he lisped," I AM gay! I'm tho gay ith not even funny! Theriouthly!"
