Hey everyone, I'm back for my fourth and final installment of Speedo! This is my favorite chapter so I hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I only own a little bit of stuff, sadly Inuyasha isn't one of them. Oh, and "I'm too Sexy" is owned by Right Said Fred. (curious now?)

Speedo!
Chapter 4: Inuyasha is…GAY?
========
"Are you guys ready to go?" shouted Kagome from the bottom of the stairs. She already had her swimsuit on under her clothes and was now waiting for her friends. They were supposedly putting on their swimsuits and shorts and t-shirts Kagome gave them. When no response came Kagome tried again. "Are you guys alive?"
"Damn wench, are you always so impatient?" asked Inuyasha gruffly from the top of the stairs.
"Yeah, like you're one to talk," shot back Kagome. She then happened to look at Inuyasha's legs. They were pure white. In fact, so were his arms. She couldn't help it. She cracked up.
"Hey what's so funny?" demanded Inuyasha.
"Your…farmer's tan!" gasped out Kagome.
Inuyasha looked confused at this answer. "Have you lost your mind? I'm not a farmer!"
Kagome regained her composure long enough to explain it to Inuyasha. "No, it just means your body is white except for what is always out it the sun. Since with what you wear only your feet, hands, and face are tanned. So you look a little funny."
Inuyasha looked a little hurt at her explanation but before he could respond Sango pushed him aside, ran down the stairs, and hid behind Kagome.
"Kagome save me!" she begged.
"Huh? What's wrong?" asked Kagome, craning her neck to look at her friend.
"Miroku won't leave me alone! He keeps trying to convince me to model my bathing suit for him," she frantically explained, digging her fingers into Kagome's shoulders.
At the mention of his name Miroku casually strolled into view and started making his way down the stairs. And now Inuyasha was yelling at Sango for pushing him. Kagome's eyes lit up.
"Sit."
Inuyasha fell forward and since he was at the top of the stairs he started sliding down the stairs. He ran into Miroku who yelled in surprise. As the girls watched Inuyasha and Miroku roll down the stairs in a mass of flailing limbs they cracked up. Which was too bad for them. They were so busy laughing they didn't have the sense to move out of the way. Kagome saw too late what was going to happen.
"Oh shit."
Sango turned to her friend in shock. She had never heard Kagome curse before. "Kago…OOMPH!!" And the girls were bowled over by Inuyasha and Miroku.
Miroku slowly opened his eyes when he stopped moving. He was on top of something somewhat soft…and smooth. He looked down and was greeted by one pissed off girl. His eyes lit up in glee. "Why Kagome, I had no idea you thought that way about me. But you know, it would be easier, and more fun, if we got rid of our clothes."
"Damn perverted monk," growled Inuyasha as he grabbed Miroku by his arm and flung him off of Kagome. Kagome immediately stood up and grabbed a book that was sitting on a table. She pitched it at Miroku.
"OW!" shouted Miroku as the book hit him square in the forehead. "Jeez Kagome, where did you get such a good arm? That hurt!" he whined while rubbing the red mark the book had left imprinted on his forehead.
"Hmph, it's no more than you deserve," retorted Kagome while stalking out the front door. She turned her head to shout to her friends, "Well, are we gonna go or what?"
Sango abruptly jumped up and ran out the door. Inuyasha grabbed Miroku's collar and dragged him out the door. Once outside he threw the monk unceremoniously into the open van door and jumped in after him. Sango and Kagome were already in the van as well as Kagome's mom.
"Alright mom, we can leave now," said Kagome, refusing to even glance in Miroku's general direction. Kagome's mom nodded and drove off. The trip to Eri's house only took five minutes which was good. Not a word was spoken the whole time. Kagome was pissed at Miroku. Inuyasha was pissed at Sango and Kagome. Sango was pissed at Miroku. Miroku was pissed at no one, but then no one would talk to him.
"Well we're here," stated Kagome's mom. "You have towels in the back."
"Oh, thanks mom. I'll see you later, alright?"
"Of course. Have fun."
Everyone piled out of the van and Kagome grabbed the towels. Kagome led the way to Eri's front door and she rang the bell. She heard someone shout and run up to the door. A moment later it was flung open and there stood Eri. She had on a pair of blue board shorts and a white tank top from which her bikini top could clearly be seen.
"Kagome! You made it!" shrieked Eri in joy. She gave Kagome a quick hug and then her eyes landed on Inuyasha. "Oh my, who's this?" she whispered in Kagome's ear.
"This is Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku," replied Kagome, pointing to her friends in turn.
"Wow, Inuyasha and Miroku are hot!"
When Miroku heard that his eyes lit up and he walked up to Eri. Before he could say a word Kagome knocked him out of the way.
"Kagome what was that for?" complained Eri, a little put out that she couldn't talk to the cute guy.
"I would keep my distance from Miroku."
"Why?"
"He's a pervert."
"What does he do?"
"Oh, I'm sure you'll find out today," replied Kagome offhandedly. "Now are we gonna be invited in or just stand on your front porch all day?" she teased.
Eri lightly blushed and stepped aside to let the four in. "Sorry about that. Well everyone else is already here. They're all by the pool."
"Oh, who else is here?" asked Kagome.
"Um, there's Yuka and Ayumi of course. Then Hojo, Yoshio, Shuya, Sakura, and Izumi. It's just a small party."
"That Hobo guy is here?" growled Inuyasha.
"Hobo? Oh, you must mean Hojo! Of course he's here!" said Eri, completely ignoring the way Inuyasha's face darkened at the mention of Hojo.
"Inuyasha stop it! Just be good for once," whispered Kagome.
Inuyasha stopped growling at once. The last thing he wanted was to be sat in a crowd of people.
"Well what are you guys waiting for? Let's go join the party!" said Eri excitedly. She grabbed Kagome's hand and sped off to the back of her house. Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha chased after them. Sango and Inuyasha managed to get on the open side of the sliding glass door. Miroku…not so lucky.
SMACK!
All the partygoers stopped talking and turned to the door to see Miroku plastered to it. They watched in silence as he peeled himself off of it, stick his hand tentatively through the open side, and then step on the patio.
"Hi. I'm Miroku," he said, waving to the awestruck people. At this point everyone laughed at the scene they had just witnessed.
Once everyone calmed down Eri made introductions. She started off with her friends.
"This is Yuka and Ayumi," she said pointing to her other best friends. Yuka had on a simple blue two piece with the boy shorts bottom. Ayumi had a bikini that was a flamboyant pink. "And this is Sakura," she continued, pointing to a petite girl with long black hair pulled into a loose ponytail. Sakura had on a pair of black board shorts with a white bikini top. Sakura shyly waved to Kagome's friends and Miroku enthusiastically waved back. Eri continued. "Next up is Yoshio." Eri pointed out a well-toned guy with shoulder length black hair. He had on a pair of board shorts that was dark blue on the front and back and light blue on the sides. Before Sango could check him out any further Eri continued. "And here would be Hojo, or Hobo as Inuyasha originally thought," she joked. Hojo had on a pair of dark green board shorts with a loose fitting white t-shirt. When Inuyasha started growling Kagome smacked his arm before anyone else could hear him. "This is Izumi." Izumi was wearing a black and blue one-piece and her hair was cropped close to her head. "And finally, this is Shuya." Shuya looked the part of a party animal. His hair was spiked and happened to be dyed a dark red. He had his eyebrow pierced as well as his left ear. And his bathing suit was neon green. All in all he stood out pretty well.
Inuyasha stared at Shuya. He was trying to determine if Shuya was a demon or not. When he started sniffing in Shuya's direction Kagome poked him.
"What are you doing?" she hissed.
"Is that Shuya guy a demon?"
"What?" shouted Kagome. When everyone stared at her she smiled and lowered her voice. "How can you think Shuya is a demon? Doesn't your nose work anymore?"
"No reason to get all worked up over it. I was just wondering," grumbled Inuyasha.
Inuyasha and Kagome's attention was brought back to the party when Eri started introducing them.
"You all know Kagome. She was kind enough to bring three of her friends. This is Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango," said Eri.
Yuka and Ayumi immediately ran up to Kagome.
"Oh wow Kagome, I had no idea you had such hot friends!" squealed Yuka.
"Please tell me they're single!" added Ayumi.
"They may be singled but you definitely don't want them," mumbled Sango.
"Why not?" asked Yuka.
Sango looked extremely flustered. "Oops. I didn't mean to say that out loud." Sango was saved from further embarrassment when Yoshio and Sakura joined the group.
"Say Inuyasha?" asked Izumi.
"What?"
"I was just wondering, are those real dog ears?"
At this question the Feudal group froze up. Kagome had completely forgotten about covering Inuyasha's ears. But by thinking quickly she came up with an excuse.
"Birth defect," she said like it was no big deal and there were always people being born with dog ears.
"Birth defect?" repeated Yoshio.
"Yeah. The doctors don't know how he got them. Maybe radiation or something," said Kagome.
"Wow! When I'm pregnant I'm gonna stand in front of a microwave all day so my kid will get dog ears!" exclaimed Yuka.
At this comment Kagome's jaw dropped, as a matter everyone's jaw dropped. Well to rephrase that everyone but Yuka, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango's jaw dropped. Yuka was daydreaming about a baby with dog ears and the others didn't know what radiation or a microwave was.
"You may not want to do that Yuka as there is a much higher chance of you getting cancer than your kid being born with dog ears," said Kagome.
"Oh phooey. But if the doctors ever find out what caused them you'll be sure to tell me, right Inuyasha?"
"Of course Yuka. You'll be the first person he will hell," Kagome dryly said.
Yuka clapped her hands and giggled like a giddy schoolgirl. "Oh yea! I can't wait!"
Before anymore stupid comments could be make about dog ears and radiation Kagome changed the subject. "So are we gonna go swimming or just stand around all day?"
"Yeah, we'll go swimming. But I ordered some pizza half an hour ago so it should be arriving any minute now," said Eri. "But why don't you guys relax until then? Heck, you still have your shoes on!"
Kagome looked down and sure enough, her shoes were still on. She bent down to take them off and signaled for her friends to do the same. But too late she realized that Inuyasha was standing in the sun. And he was about to put his bare feet down on some extremely hot concrete. "Inuyasha…" was as far as she got before he screamed.
"AHHHH! Hell! Shit! Damn! This shit is HOT!" he yelped while hopping from foot to foot. He didn't realize that if he stepped a foot to his right he would be in the shade, and on some cool concrete. Instead he decided to jump in the pool, clothes and all. As he came to the surface sputtering he was greeted by a wave of laughter. Everyone was laughing at the show he had just put on. He dragged himself out of the pool and quickly ran into the shade. He looked the picture of a poor, pathetic, wet dog.
Kagome patted the soaking Inuyasha. "Poor Inuyasha. But you know, if you wanted to go swimming so bad you just had to tell us. No reason to jump into the pool with your clothes on."
Inuyasha swiped at her hand but she withdrew it before he was able to make contact with it. At that moment the doorbell rang. And Inuyasha smelled food. Really good food. His ears perked up and he followed the scent to the front door. And since he was starving he thought it would be a good idea to go to the food. Before anyone could stop him he charged off back into the house.
"Well, guess he's hungry," remarked Eri, following the wet dog. Kagome laughed and followed her fried, after all, there was no telling what Inuyasha would do to the poor delivery boy. She never should have worried. Inuyasha wasn't even able to get to the delivery boy. She and Eri, and everyone else as they thought it would be funny to see what Inuyasha did, were just in time to see Inuyasha run onto the floor, the nice shiny hardwood floor, and go flying into the front door. He body slammed the front door and then fell backwards onto his back. And for the second time in two minutes everyone laughed at the disgruntled hanyou's expense.
Kagome walked up to him and grabbing one sprawled out hand she dragged him away from the front door. Eri smiled her thanks and opened the door to meet the frightened delivery boy. He stared at her in fear; after all, something had just flown into the door that was now open. It wasn't right. He peered over her shoulder to see a boy lying on the floor. 'Ahh,' he thought, 'he must have slid into the door.' The boy then did a double take. 'He has…dog ears?'
"Excuse me?" said Eri, waving her hand in front of the boy's face. "How much do I owe you?"
"Huh? Oh. $40," he said, not taking his eyes away from Inuyasha. When Eri paid him he gave her the pizzas. Then before she could slam the door in his face he found his voice again. "Say, are those real dog ears?"
Eri looked at the boy and decided to not waste the time telling him the truth. "Nah, he just likes to pretend to be a dog sometimes."
"Weird," said the boy before the door was slammed in his face.
Inuyasha looked up when Eri had slammed the door. "Hey, I heard that! I do not like to pretend to be a dog!"
Eri simply smiled and held the pizza above Inuyasha. "So would you like some pizza Inuyasha? After all, you did attack a door to get to it," she teased.
"I did not attack a door," grumbled Inuyasha, rising to his feet. He then cautiously walked the rest of the way to the back patio. He was not going to slip again.
Luckily for his sanity and reputation Inuyasha made it the rest of the way without any unfortunate mishaps. Miroku did try to push him once but Inuyasha caught him before he was able to and slammed the monk into a wall. Miroku didn't try that again.
Once everyone was outside Eri opened the pizza boxes. "Help yourself. There should be plenty for everyone."
The pizza disappeared in about 5 minutes, Inuyasha eating half a box to himself. He would have gone for a full box but Kagome made him save some pizza for the others. Once everyone was done Eri threw the boxes away.
"So are you guys ready to go swimming?" she asked.
When there was a chorus of 'yeas!' Eri walked over to her CD player. Then looking slyly at Inuyasha and Miroku she quickly picked a song on her CD and pressed play, and pumped up the volume. "Let's swim!" she shouted.
Eri pulled off her tank top and dove into the water. Miroku watched with an awestruck expression. 'Oh wow. She's a goddess! Must go join her.' As Miroku started walking dumbly towards the pool Kagome reached out a grabbed him.
"You have to take your shorts and t-shirt off first," she reminded him while the modern kids jumped into the pool.
"Ahh, right." Miroku pulled off his shirt but before he got to his shorts a grin lit up his face. He had heard the music. "Sango! It's my song!" he shouted in joy.
I'm too sexy for my shirtToo sexy for my shirt
So sexy it hurtsSango rolled her eyes at the perverted monk. "In your dreams maybe!" she shouted back. She then followed Kagome's lead and took off her outer clothing. She happened to glance back at Miroku and Inuyasha and couldn't help but laugh. Both of them were speechless and their faces bright red. "Hey Kagome," she whispered to her friend, "I think we got ourselves a couple of admirers."
Kagome looked back and laughed as well when she saw the boys. She then whispered slyly, "so what do you say we put on a show?"
Sango grinned evilly and followed Kagome's lead. She and Kagome walked to the other side of the pool so that they could look at the Inuyasha and Miroku. The boy's eyes never left them. Kagome then bent down seductively and splashed some water on her chest. Now the boy's eyes were glazed over. She stood back and did a perfect swan dive into the pool. Sango watched her friend and inwardly laughed. Sango smiled flirtatiously at the boys and was pleased when Miroku gasped for air. 'Haha, they're such morons!' She attempted to copy Kagome's dive. She belly-flopped instead.
When Sango hit the water with a resounding smack everyone groaned in pain. They all knew how painful belly flops were. Sango broke the surface of the water and gasped in pain. "What the hell kind of mess up jump is that Kagome?" she groaned in pain, clutching her stomach.
Kagome couldn't help but laugh at Sango. "Sango, Sango, Sango. You weren't suppose to land on your stomach! You enter the water with your hands first!"
Yoshio swam up to Sango and patted her shoulder comfortly. "It's alright. Everyone belly flops many times in their lives. It's how you get christened to a pool."
Sango glared at the way Yoshio was supposedly comforting her. She splashed his face in mirth and swam away.
Miroku, who was about to jump in to rescue Sango from the clutches of the evil Yoshio, sighed and backed off. He thought Yoshio was moving onto his girl but he was relieved when Sango splashed. But when he saw Sango laugh at Yoshio's expression his face soured again. 'Could it be that she was flirting with him? Would my Sango actually flirt with another guy?' This idea seemed preposterous to Miroku so he quickly threw it out of his mind.
After seeing Sango's grand entrance to the pool Kagome turned back to Inuyasha and Miroku. She couldn't believe it. They were still standing there looking like idiots. She watched as Miroku's face grew worried, than confused, than angry, than happy, than worried again, and finally turned to bliss. She had no clue what was going on in his head and she really didn't want to know. She looked at Inuyasha and laughed when he had the same dumbstruck expression on his face as he had before she had dived.
I'm a model you know what I meanAnd I do my little on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk
On the catwalk, yeah
I do my little on the catwalkAs Miroku's ears registered the song again he slowly blinked. The song had disrupted him from his fantasies of swimming with Sango. At night. Alone. But it was such a good song that he immediately forgave it. He turned to Inuyasha and waved his hand in front of the frozen hanyou's face. "Hello? Anyone in there? Inuyasha? You alive? I'm guessing you noticed the girls?" he said lecherously.
Inuyasha dumbly nodded. "How could I miss Kagome?" he softly said.
Miroku slyly grinned at Inuyasha and slapped him in the back. "You dog! You do like her don't you? And it's about time you noticed Kagome's beauty. So why are you still standing here? Go join her!"
"Inuyasha! Miroku!" called out Kagome. "Get your butts in here! The water's great!"
Inuyasha made up his mind and pulled off his shirt and shorts. He was then treated to several girls whistling at him.
"Wow Kagome. Give him a tan and he could be a model!" whispered Yuka to her friend.
Kagome stared at Inuyasha and realized that Yuka was right. Besides for his ghostly white body Inuyasha was a prime specimen of the male species. 'Jeez, I'm getting to be as bad as Miroku. Looking a man only for his body…but Inuyasha sure is hot…I wonder what his pecks feel like…stop it! You really are turning into a pervert!' Kagome shook her head to rid herself of her perverted thoughts.
Inuyasha, noticing all the girls staring him except for Kagome who was shaking her head for some odd reason, turned red with embarrassment. "Hurry up monk. I want to get in the pool," he growled. There was no way he would go in the pool by himself. Not with the girls looking like they were ready to devour him whole and the guys looking like they were ready to murder him.
"Ok Inuyasha. I'll protect from the ravenous girls. I'll take them all for me!" he said, his voice filled with joy. This was what he was waiting for. A flock of girls who were wearing next to nothing. The world truly was too kind for him. But the world then decided that it was being too kind to Miroku. In fact, it decided to make Miroku's life, as well as Inuyasha's life, hell. Right about now.
Miroku yanked off his shorts.
I'm a model you know what I meanAnd I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk
On the catwalk yeah
I shake my little tush on the catwalk
At the sight of Miroku in all his speedo glory Sango gasped and forgot where she was swimming. She bashed her head into the pool wall and was starting to go under when Yoshio came up and grabbed her arm. Yoshio than turned his head from the disgusting scene in front of him and gagged. Kagome, Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi all lost their knack for swimming and sank. They all resurfaced a few moments later only to repeat the process again. Sakura and Izumi stared at Miroku in embarrassment. Neither wanted to look but then they also couldn't command their heads to turn away. Hojo and Shuya covered their eyes with their hands.
Miroku, standing there in his skimpy purple speedo, looked confused. These weren't the reactions he was expecting. Well the guys reacted the right way, if they reacted in another way he would have been concerned with what way they swung. But he would have expected the girls to run up to him and treat him like a god. He knew if he were a girl he would have reacted that way, seeing how impressive he looked with his speedo on. But then he caught Izumi and Sakura staring at him with their mouths hanging open. Miroku beamed. It seemed that they were too awestruck to move. He had impressed them so much they were speechless.
Kagome, finally regaining her ability to swim, covered her eyes. "Miroku! Why are you wearing THAT?! I told you get a bathing suit. Not a SPEEDO!" she shouted in disgust.
Once Kagome spoke the spell was broken. Izumi and Sakura turned their heads so fast Miroku was afraid that they gave themselves whiplash.
Miroku saw everyone's disgusted faces and quickly realized his mistake. But then he figured out a fine way of seeking revenge on Inuyasha. He turned to his friend only to see him smirking at him. "What?" he asked.
"No reason the sock fell off. You're tiny," he scoffed.
At that comment Miroku's revenge was sealed. He didn't care what people thought of him, already they thought he was disgusting, all that mattered now was ruining Inuyasha's reputation as well. Miroku turned back to the group. "You mean you guys don't like it? But Inuyasha said it looked lovely on me!" he cried.
"Oh dude, that's beyond sick!" shouted Yoshio. "Jeez Kagome, I didn't realize that your friends were gay."
"What a waste of a fine male body. He's gay!" cried Ayumi.
Yuka turned to Sango. "So I'm assuming this is what you mean when you say we definitely don't want them?"
Sango, too busy trying to swim without cracking up, didn't respond. She knew Miroku wanted revenge on the hanyou, but this was something she never thought Miroku would do.
Inuyasha glared at Miroku, murder clearly written in his eyes. "You bastard! What the hell made you say that?"
Miroku held his hand up to his mouth in feign surprise. "Oh no! What did I do? I'm sorry Inuyasha, I forgot it was suppose to be our little secret."
Now Kagome joined Sango in her quest to not drown because she started laughing too hard.
Hearing Miroku's response to him Inuyasha backpedaled away from him. Right into the pool. And landed on top of Hojo.
"Eww! He's feeling Hojo!" squealed Izumi.
Kagome lost her battle for a moment but she quickly gained the advantage again.
Inuyasha and Hojo surfaced and Hojo looked at Inuyasha in fear and swam away as fast as he could. "A gay man touched me! A gay man touched me!" he screamed. "Someone help me! A gay man touched me!"
Inuyasha looked like he was about to attack the insane boy when Sakura swam to Hojo and put an arm around the distraught boy. Hojo calmed down and stopped shouting about gay men.
Sango swam over to Kagome and Inuyasha immediately followed her. He looked hurt when everyone else swam to the opposite of the pool. When the girls met they could no longer hold in their laughter and together they laughed at the thought of Miroku and Inuyasha being gay. They were the last two males on the face of the planet that would ever even think of turning gay. Inuyasha growled when he reached them and the girls slowly calmed down.
"Kagome, tell them I'm not gay!" demanded Inuyasha. He tried to sound gruff. He really did. But he whined. Kagome never heard the great Inuyasha whine before. She started laughing again.
"Why don't you try telling them?" suggested Sango.
Inuyasha thought for a moment and decided that it wouldn't hurt. "Hey! I'm not gay!" he shouted.
Miroku looked upset and threw his shoe at Inuyasha. It hit the hanyou in the head. Turned out shouting out you weren't gay could hurt.
Inuyasha glared at Miroku and threw the monk's shoe at the monk. It hit Miroku in the chest.
Miroku clutched his chest and screamed in agony. "No! Inuyasha how could you? How could you deny my love for you? Don't you know that I would do anything for you?"
"Then how about you go throw yourself off a cliff?" suggest Inuyasha.
"Poor Miroku. Even though they're gay doesn't mean Inuyasha has to be so mean to his partner," said Yuka.
"Inuyasha is such a jerk. I guess it's good he's gay. He would be a rude boyfriend," said Ayumi.
Kagome snickered at her friends but at the hurt look Inuyasha gave her she stopped. She hated his puppy dog eyes. Whenever he gave her that look her heart melted. And right now her heart was a pile of slosh. "Alright guys, fun's over. Inuyasha is in fact right. He is not gay. Miroku was just pulling a mean prank on him. Right Miroku?" Kagome sent Miroku a withering look; she was just daring the monk to make another gay comment.
Miroku laughed nervously and held up his hands in defeat. "Alright, alright. Jokes over. Neither Inuyasha or me are gay. In fact we love the female body."
"Pervert," muttered Sango.
"Well even if you aren't gay can you please put your shorts back on?" asked Shuya, still refusing to look at Miroku.
Miroku looked down at his speedo. "You mean you guys don't like it?" he teased.
"NO!" shouted everyone at once.
"Fine, fine. I'll put my shorts back on." And much to everyone's relief Miroku did just that. Once his shorts were on he jumped into the pool. He swam underwater to Sakura.
"Eeek!" Sakura shrieked, "someone just touched my butt!"
Sango swam over to the frightened girl, reached down, and dragged up a wet monk by his hair. Miroku smiled innocently at Sakura.
Eri looked on in amazement. Now she knew why Kagome told her to keep her distance. Miroku was a pervert.
Sakura glared at Miroku. "Can you pretend to be gay for the rest of the party?"
THE END
The moral of the story is: Friends don't let friends wear speedos.
=========
Break out the champagne! The story's over! Or how about soda since I'm pretty sure most of my readers are underage, sigh, I am too. Only 2 years to go! Yea! But I realized that this story was very important to read. It taught everyone a very crucial lesson in life. Now I hope everyone will take this moral to heart and listen to my words of wisdom! : ) And I sure hope you enjoyed the wild stunts of Miroku, I think this story pretty much belonged to him. I'll see you all later (esp. if you read my other stories!). Thanks for taking the time to read my weird story.
