Shippo's Plans

Chapter Seven: Momma Said Knock You Out ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
They were near... he could smell them. Lying in wait behind Kaede's hut, Inuyasha waited until they arrived. He didn't have to wait long. Kagome came near, grinning like a mad fool and humming softly to herself. She never saw the clawed hand that reached out for her.
He pulled her close, breathing in her scent. "You reek of Monk." He growled.
"So?"
He stopped short at that one, his anger momentarily derailed by confusion. He'd expected apologies, excuses, denial... not calm acceptance. How dare she! So? SO?!?!? She comes in smelling like another man, that PERVERT, no less, and all she can say is SO?!?!? "What the hell have you been doing?"
He saw the glimmer of evil intent in Kagome's eyes and braced himself for the forthcoming 'sit'. However, it never came, instead came, "We spent the afternoon making sure that Miroku's family doesn't end with him, if you catch my drift."
And, folks, was all it took. Letting Kagome go, Inuyasha turned wrathful eyes towards Miroku's direction and waited. Oh, he knew they hadn't done anything, he could still smell the girl's purity... but the fact that it had even entered her mind set him on the warpath and there was no calming down.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
So Miroku ambled on his merry way, a tad dazed, more than a little excited, and happier than he had been since... Well, let's just say a very, very long time. Already his head was swimming with different ways to woo and seduce our dear miko. It was a shame really, because had he been paying more attention, he would have seen death coming straight for him in the form of a very angry half-demon.
In fact, it was sometime between the point where Inuyasha's fist hit his face and Miroku hit the ground. "What the hell?"
"That's my line, Monk. What the hell are you doing touching MY Kagome?!"
Miroku smirked despite the pain in his chin. He'd been waiting to tell off that stupid mutt for some time now. "Oh, I dunno, Inuyasha, she seemed to like it a great deal." He replied with false cheerfulness.
That earned him a sharp kick in the side, and Miroku learned first hand that Inuyasha really needed to trim his pointy-ass toenails. "Shut the fuck up! She's mine, god damn it!"
Standing calmly and brushing himself off, Miroku squared himself to the angry dog demon, "I know I haven't known her as long as you have, but Kagome doesn't strike me as the sort who enjoys being owned. I wouldn't let her hear that if I were you."
"What do you know." Inuyasha spat.
"I know that if I had a woman as wonderful as Kagome who loved me, I wouldn't go chasing corpses in the night. Now, Inuyasha, if you truly care about her all that much, why go after Kikyo? Can't you see how much it hurts Kagome?"
"Why should it matter if I'm with Kikyo? Kagome's her freaking reincarnation... they're the same person."
And this would be the point where Miroku lost it. Torn between inviting the stupid puppy to spend eternity in his arm and simply pummeling him, Miroku ground out his next words sharply, "How can you not see the differences between them, Inuyasha? They are the sun and the moon, complete opposites. Kagome is warm and full of life, touching everyone with her love, and Kikyo is as cold and distant as the moon, and just as dead. They may appear similar, but mistaking them for the same person is impossible."
Inuyasha struck the monk once more, laying him in the dirt. Drawing his father's fang, he laid it on Miroku's neck, letting the blade whisper against the skin that lay there, "Touch her again, and you'll die."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
And she'd had enough. After watching Inuyasha return the Tetsusaiga to its sheath, Kagome called out what was beginning to be her favorite word. "SIT!"
She ignored the swear words that were echoing out of a newly formed crater in the ground and helped Miroku up. Turning back to the now un- subdued half-demon, she spoke quietly and clearly, but any fool listening could hear the anger in her voice, "Inuyasha. You carry out that threat and you'll be purified before sunrise. You DON'T own me and you never will. I am NOT Kikyo, and I never will be. I'm Kagome! KA-GO-ME. "Learn it," she pinched his ear, "live it," she flicked his nose, "and love it. SIT!"
She grabbed Miroku's hand and dragged him away from the very pissed, but oddly quiet hole in the ground.
Her head was spinning though. The words Miroku had spoken in her defense ran circles in her head. She was the sun and Kikyo was the moon? Wasn't it just the other day she was thinking the opposite? It made her cheeks warm and her heart flutter. Yes, she'd had feelings for Inuyasha. He'd been the one to teach her the meaning of the word crush. But now it seemed that Miroku was going to teach her the meaning of love, and she couldn't wait for that lesson.

Review Responses:
Tokyobabe2040 – Yeah, this story has a mind of its own, and when I'm not sitting here typing it, I'm thinking about it. So – for my sanity, lots of updating. Another duplicate you say, hmm?? Sesshomaru's pretty... can I have one of him? ;)
Dark-Trinity – Thanks, I'm glad you like it, and funny you should ask, cuz this is the chapter you're looking for. He, he, he...
Addanc-Tsc – Dude, I'm glad some one liked this chapter, because I really didn't when I finished it, but I figured... Hey why not? Re-reading it though, I like the false kiss scene.
Puffin – Yeah, I really liked pushy Shippo, and I figured it wasn't too terribly out of character for him, cuz even though he's young in the show, he has outstanding moments of brilliance every once in a while.
Doujo – 'squeals excitedly' You put me in your favorites? Really? 'squeals some more' Thank you so much, I'm uber, uber touched!
Samanda Hime-sama – With wonderful reviews like you, how could I ever stop? I'm so very glad you like the story, and I'm going to give the lemon more thought. 'blushes' hmmmm naked Miroku.
Tinabug – No worries, I would never make poor Sango sad. She's got enough stuff on her plate to make a body break down. Nope – I figured it all out. 'evil cackle'
Denise D – I'm glad you liked it, and you got it... a brand new chapter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Thank you to all who reviewed. Your kind words rock my world!
