Chapter 5: The Humiliation of Saving the Day

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha. Gees, how many more times do I have to say this horrible sentence?

A/N: Listen, I'm actually being really nice about doing this chapter before I go on camp for 5 days! Also, thanks to those who reviewed:

InuYasha Obsession

InuYashasmistress

Also, there's a bit of Sango/ Miroku in here. Oh man, I'm getting too soft on all you readers...

With InuYasha and Kagome

The two were asleep in a tree. The night was silent, but the dog demon couldn't sleep, thanks to Kagome's drink; she called it coffee. He had drunk 18 cups before bedtime, and now he had to have several toilet breaks and insomnia.

Stupid Kagome! Why didn't she warn me about the consequences? An angry hanyou thought, trying to get a comfortable position on the thick tree branch. Oh well, every good thing has its tolls.

As he got up for the fifth time to go to the bush he'd nourished well over the night, he decided to walk around the area for a while. He finished, got up and began to stretch his tired limbs. He was about to jump back into the tree again when something icy lightly scratched the back of his neck. InuYasha whirled around, Tetsusaiga drawn and parried a blow from the icy creature that was about to murder him.

The attacker was 7ft. tall, and he was all ice, but his sharp teeth were a reddish-brown, stained with the blood of the many humans he'd devoured a long time ago. In other words, be was a big, bloody white snowball.

"What are YOU doing?" InuYasha roared, parrying yet another blow from the monster's claws. "And what's your name?"

"My name is Kohirashi," the demon hissed. "And it's none of your business WHY I'm here, you dirty little half-breed. Besides, you should take a look at where your lover is sleeping. I've already devoured her."

Kohirashi's last words made the dog demon falter for a moment, and this tiny moment of hesitation nearly caused the hanyou's head to be chopped off. As InuYasha caught a quick glimpse of Kagome, who was now trying to help, the icy monster scooped InuYasha up and carried him off, leaving the poor girl shouting and crying.

Sango, Shippo and Miroku

Everyone was now awake, brandishing their weapons. They had slept in the afternoon, so now they were ready for anything. For once they had decided a new tactic: They were going to split up, and Shippo was going with the perverted priest to see that he didn't flirt with anyone.

"Let's meet up at Hollow's Tree by midnight," Sango said (A/N: I made Hollow's Tree up). With a not of satisfaction, the demon exterminator left the clearing in search of her friends, InuYasha and Kagome. Knowing the dog demon, Kagome would be safe and sound. She'd better be, Sango thought to herself. Or else I'll kill that dog demon.

After 10 minutes of walking, Sango decided to go to Hollow's Tree, for it was now a half hour's walk over. She was nearly there when she heard someone crying and singing softly to him/ her. Deciding to investigate, Sango walked around the tree where the sobbing was loudest. Finally coming to the loudest singing spot, she looked up and saw Kagome sobbing and singing sadly to herself. InuYasha was nowhere to be seen.

"Kagome, my friend, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" the demon exterminator asked, feeling rage burning inside her. InuYasha would pay for making her friend so sorrowful!

"Oh, you see..." Kagome explained, and began telling Sango all that had happened during their night in the tree (A/N: Even Kagome wasn't shamed to tell Sango about the kissing part!)

When the teenager had finished, Sango was positively fuming.

After breathing slowly for about 15 minutes, Sango said, quite forgetting about meeting up with Miroku and Shippo, "Well, let me help you save that hopeless dog idiot from the ice demon!"

Kagome laughed, tremblingly, after so much crying. "Yeah, let's go," she replied, getting down from the tree she'd name 'Lovers' Tree' in her mind. And the two set off on an adventure the two would never forget.

Miroku and Shippo

They were struggling in their bonds. A very large shadow loomed over them and yelled for the unfortunate two to be silent and to stop struggling. Finally, it hit first Miroku, then Shippo on the head, therefore knocking the two out...

Back to Kagome and Sango

The two loyal friends were wandering about in the woods, Myoga the flea suddenly with them. He had explained that he had escaped from InuYasha the moment they were caught by the ice demon. This, of course, wasn't a big surprise to the two girls, as their history-keeper was constantly deserting his master.

The trio were making great progress, as Myoga was sniffing out the demon's scent and that no demon was crossing their path.

Myoga, who was leading all the time, finally stopped before a humongous castle. Sango, who was surprised by this abrupt stop, accidentally trod on the poor and cowardly flea. Kagome giggled, but then stopped as she took in the 45ft. tall mansion.

"Well, this is it," the flea said. "I have been in there, and it's magnificent." He added, buffing himself up in pride.

"Thank you, my friend," Sango said rather pleasantly. "Since you have helped us so bravely, I propose that you go in first." The demon exterminator smirked.

Kagome couldn't help but snicker as Myoga's face looked as if it had met the inevitable. Myoga then did something much unexpected to the girls; he slid through a gap in the double doors, and disappeared out of sight.

"Alright, if Mr. I-want-to-show-I'm-not-a-scaredy-cat wants to be like that, let him be," Sango said, striding towards the door. "I'm going in next. Be careful, Kagome."

Kagome was the last to enter the double-door. Once inside, she gasped; everything was beautifully furnished. It looked like as if many servants had been there, but was dead now, as there was an eerie silence to the welcome hall. Sango and Myoga were also dumbfounded.

The trio finally found the feeling in their legs and began stumbling around in the huge manor, ashamed to be here, as they thought themselves as commoners. On the other hand, this place looked perfect for a noble, and the size intimidated them greatly.

"Myoga, can you hear anything?" Sango asked quietly, for fear that a demon was spying on them.

"Of course I can, human," the flea replied indignantly. "But you'll have to find the demon on your own." And before the girls could do anything, the little coward darted off into nowhere.

"Stupid flea," Kagome angrily muttered, feeling lost now that they had no one to guide them. "I wish he would just reconsider."

Sango agreed, and the two of them then went on wandering around the castle in circles. One time they had nearly found the perfect room, for voices were talking inside. All they had found, however, was a scared Myoga chattering to himself in different tones of voices to keep himself busy. This caused a beaten up Myoga to limp out of the room; Sango and Kagome had stayed behind to exchange high-fives for injuring the annoying little flea.

After what seemed like eternity, they found the right room. An evil voice was talking to itself, and Sango could sense three people sleeping inside.

"Oh, yes, you'll be dead for sure," a smug voice said. "Kikyo will be very pleased to have you back in Hell again, InuYasha."

Sango and Kagome froze; did Kikyo really HAVE anything to do with the kidnapping? Kagome secretly hoped so; she'd have a reason to kill Kikyo, but part of her wanted to stay innocent; maybe the demon was just lying about the priestess.

"Ready?" Sango whispered, and Kagome jumped. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she'd completely forgotten that Sango was there as well.

After calming down, Kagome agreed. She had her bow all loaded, and Sango had her boomerang at the ready.

"One, two...THREE!" the two women yelled, and flung themselves at the door.

"Ho. I was expecting you two wenches," the demon laughed. It was the same ice demon that had captured the dog demon. Sango noted, with some surprise, that Miroku and Shippo were also in the room, unconscious. InuYasha, however, was awake, and he was trying to untie himself.

"Well, too bad, buster, because you're going DOWN!" Kagome yelled, and loosed her string. The miko's arrow went flying towards Kohirashi, but it missed. The monster had jumped aside. Since Kohirashi had not been expecting the arrow, he landed on top of InuYasha, making the hanyou howl in pain. Kohirashi grinned and tried to squish the poor dog demon, but luckily InuYasha could just resist death. His eyes, however, were bulging.

"Get off InuYasha!" Sango bellowed her voice at its loudest. She let her boomerang fly, and it nearly killed Kohirashi, but once again the ice giant dodged. InuYasha, on the other hand, rolled away, and somehow landed at the giant's feet, belly pressed against the demon's legs.

InuYasha was about to shout, but some sort of tingly feeling met his privates; the coffee Kagome had given him was screaming to be released. He couldn't take it any longer. Closing his eyes, he began to pee all over the poor Kohirashi. Since pee is warm, you can guess what happened to the unfortunate demon: he began to melt.

"WE'LL MEET AGAIN SOMETIME, B!" Kohirashi shouted before transforming into a pool of water and urine mixed together.

There was silence, which was broken by the cheers of Miroku and Shippo, who had just woken up. Gradually everyone but InuYasha began cheering and laughing; the dog demon was embarrassed, as he couldn't hold his urine back.

Shippo, who had been untied by Kagome, walked up to InuYasha, squatted beside him and said, "Hey, why did you pee? It was hysterical!" and with that, everyone began laughing again.

Sango was feeling lonely all of a sudden. She would never have her family to laugh with, as all of them were already dead. Now she even wondered when she'd join them. Despite her greatest efforts, the demon exterminator had a tear escape down one of her cheeks.

The priest, on the other hand, had guessed what Sango had been thinking about. Kagome and Shippo had noticed nothing; they were too busy teasing InuYasha about his urine problem. The dog demon's haori was soaked, and everyone could see the wet patch.

Sango and Miroku then went out onto a nearby balcony, unnoticed by everyone else.

"Sango, you know how much I need you to be with me when I'm in a sad situation," Miroku said, clutching one of Sango's hands.

"Yes, I know, Lord Monk," Sango sighed, bracing herself for another of Miroku's lectures on lonely people.

"Well, Sango, we've been through a lot together. We've always needed each other, and nothing's going to tear us apart now," Miroku said, cuddling Sango. "Right?"

"Yeah, yeah," his love grudgingly replied.

Then Miroku did something unexpected; he kissed her.

Kagome, InuYasha and Shippo

"Aw...look at the happy and perfect couple," Kagome sighed, wiping a tear from one eye. She wished that someday InuYasha would do something just as kind. InuYasha and Shippo snickered from behind the curtains.

"Shut up!" hissed Kagome. "Do you think you want them to see us?"

"Yeah, that'll be great," InuYasha chortled, quite forgetting about how he had wet his pants earlier.

"SIT!" Kagome yelled, finally giving everyone away. As InuYasha's face hit the dusty floor, Kagome jumped on top of him and shook his haori hard. "DON'T MAKE ME ANGRY LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN, YOU MONGREL IDIOT!"

"I love you too, Kagome," InuYasha growled, then closed the space between them. Before you could say, "Love", the pair was rolling around on the ground, kissing each other passionately.

Shippo sighed impatiently. What a pair of horny bunny rabbits InuYasha and Kagome were! Now he was being totally ignored: Sango and Miroku were talking on the balcony now, InuYasha and Kagome were still kissing each other, and now it was just him and Kirara.

"Oh well. Want to practice kissing, Kirara?" Shippo joked. The kitten, feeling shocked, immediately bounced away and left a giggling Shippo behind.

InuYasha could smell Kagome's b.o circling around them, but for the sake of stupid love he decided not to pull away. Finally the smell overcame him; he fainted, and Kagome's face paled. Her b.o. had come back to haunt her again.
