Inuyasha

"The Last Piece of the Shikkon Jewel"

Part 3

"I wish you would quit staring at my ears!" Inuyasha said as the group walked along a quiet forest trail.

"But they're so cute." Sachika said with a wide grin. Kagome smiled.

"You'd better not cross her Inuyasha." She said. "I'll teach her the 'phrase' that I use on you" the dog demon scoffed.

"You're the only one who can make it work." He said. Kagome shook her head.

"She can sound like anyone. Even me." She said. Sachika smiled and nodded. Inuyasha scoffed again.

"Try it." He said.

"Okay." She said. She leaned over as Kagome whispered the phrase in her ear. She cleared her throat and smiled again. "Sit boy!" The necklace around Inuyasha's neck glowed as he fell to the ground. The raven headed girls started to laugh.

"That is so funny!" Sachika exclaimed. Kagome smiled.

"Now you have to deal with both of us." She said. Inuyasha groaned. Shippo laughed from his perch on a tree.

"That's what you get for messing with other worldly people." He said with a smile.

A blond haired girl sat alone in a forest just outside present day Judo, Japan. She sighed as the wind played with her hair.

"I'm so bored. There's nothing to destroy." She said. "I am the dreaded Baku Demon. There's nothing 'dreadful' for me to do. I've already destroyed the neighboring cities and towns. Tokyo and all of the other cities have put up warding sutras to keep me out. Even in little pathetic shrines within Okinawa." She wrapped a strand of hair around her finger. Her hand then went up to her left ear and stroked the jewel that had been there for as long as she could remember. Suddenly she was being dragged across the forest floor by an invisible force. The force had pinned her down to the ground. Her hand scrapped across a tree root, and she held on to it tightly.

"What the hell!?" she shouted. The root snapped under the tension and the Baku Demon scrapped along the ground once more. Soon she flew right threw the barrier that protected Tokyo.

I went right through that...I wonder how? she thought.

After about three hours of sliding along the ground, the demon finally came to a small shrine. She smashed through that and came to a well. The she went down it.

"Do you know where we can take a bath?" Sachika asked.

"Hmm...there should be a hot spring nearby. Oh, it's over there!" Kagome said pointing. She smiled. "I even have some shampoo and conditioner we can use."

"Alright!" Sachika cheered. The two ran to the hot spring.

"No looking Inuyasha." Kagome said. The white haired half-breed grunted and sat down behind a boulder. The two girls shed their clothing and settled down into the hot water.

"This feels so good." Sachika mumbled as she ducked under water. After a few minutes she came back up and grinned.

"Maybe after this we could give Inuyasha a bath." Kagome giggled and nodded. They heard a grunt from behind the boulder, which made them laugh even more.

About an hour later, the two stepped out and put their clothes back on.

"C'mon Inuyasha. It's your turn." Kagome said.

"I don't need a bath." He growled.

"Yes you do!" Kagome shouted. Inuyasha crossed his arms. Kagome did the same. She looked over to Sachika and nodded.

"SIT BOY!!" the two shouted. Inuyasha plunged into the ground twice as hard as normal.

"Fine...I'll take a bath." He said. The two girls smiled and sat down behind the boulder. Sachika peeked over and grinned.

"What! Are you just going to watch me undress?" Inuyasha shouted.

"Maybe..." she started. "Don't worry. I won't stare too much." Inuyasha grunted and turned around. He took off his protective kimono and tossed it to the ground. He heard a whistle. He blushed and turned back around.

"Quit watching me!" he shouted.

"Okay." She ducked back down behind the boulder. Inuyasha cautiously shed the rest of his clothing, looking toward the boulder all the while. All he heard was giggling and a wild cat pouncing on a rabbit somewhere off in the woods. He then slipped into the water. His ears perked up as he sensed someone coming from the west. He jerked around and stood, completely forgetting that he was nude.

"Who's there?" he demanded. Kagome, Sachika and Shippo rushed out from behind the boulder.

"What is it Inu..." Kagome froze, her eyes on Inuyasha. Sachika smiled and whistled.

"Nice body Inuyasha." She said with a grin. Inuyasha finally noticed his nudity and sat back down in the water. He blushed.

"I didn't know that you were graced with the presence of yet another beautiful woman Inuyasha. I should've stayed with you." A familiar voice said. A tall handsome man walked out of the woods and made himself present.

"I thought we got rid of you!" Inu growled.

"Hey! Not bad." Sachika said. "Who are you and where have you been hiding?"

"Go away Miroku!" the demon shouted.

"So that's your name." The raven headed girl said. Miroku walked over to her and laced his fingers with hers.

"I have a question to ask of you." He said. "For starters...you know my name, may I ask what yours is?"

"My name is Sachika." She said. Miroku smiled.

"Would you please bear my children?" he asked.

"Hey...I'm not ready for children...sorry sweetie." She said. She looked over at Inuyasha and smiled. "Are you feeling left out? I'll hop in with you if you want...I wouldn't mind taking a second bath." She smiled knowing that anything she threw at him would make him blush.

"C'mon Sachika. Leave Inuyasha alone. We've still got some catching up to do." Kagome said. Sachika nodded and followed her behind the boulder.
