Disclaimer: I own Inuyasha AND The Wizard of Oz. ::Stands there, hands on her hips as she glares:: Well? Go on, arrest me! I claimed to own something I don't! Two things! Haul me off to court! I dare you! ::Police take a step forward:: I- Was kidding!!

----

Coming up to the final flight of stairs, Kagome and Co. were in quite some pain (Except Shippou, who rotated between shoulders. Twice, Naraku made to toss the little fox down the stairs, but Kagome chucked her shoe at his temple each time, causing him to tumble down the previous flight, while Shippou would jump off.).

"I'm.. Exhausted.." Kagome panted.

"This is too much work.. I quit! What kind of maniac puts in this many stairs!?" Naraku whined with such emphasis, a 5-year-old would have been proud. He seemed on the verge of a temper tantrum, and stomped his foot while huffing.

"Oh, are you?" Inuyasha mocked in a voice covered in false syrupy ... goo.. ,"Well, do you want me to help you down!?" His voice changed to a snarl as he made a move towards the once baboon-pelt clad coward.

"SIT!"

..Inuyasha was in mid-air when this command was administered..

SLAM!

"K'SOU!"

"HE SAID A BAD WORD!" Shippou shrieked.

"SIT!"

SLAM!

"FOR THE LOVE OF—"

"SIT!"

..A few minutes passed...

...The dust cleared....

... And Inuyasha pulled his face out of the hanyou-shaped impression he had made in the marble floor.

"What was that last one for!?" Inuyasha demanded.

"Sorry, I got caught up in it," Kagome giggled apologetically, "You're okay," She helped him up, ignoring the uttered obscenities.

Naraku looked hurt. His bottom lip quivered. "Y-.. You were going to hurt m-...!?" He burst out into tears. Kagome walked over to him, patting him on the shoulder. "Now, now.." She cooed, "He wasn't going to.. No one would ever hurt you." But Naraku broke away and headed straight into the unprepared Seshoumaru's arms. Kagome fell over in a comedic fashion.

"I can see your panties..."

"Sit..."

But there was no responding crash. Kagome looked up, confused. Why had her command failed? She soon saw that the source of the declaration was not Inuyasha; but instead, a man in purple robes. He was grinning in the most perverted way, like all of the men in the village. Flustered, Kagome stood up, looking towards Inuyasha as if asking him why he had not said it.

The "scarecrow" tried to look innocent, but to no avail. She could tell it meant 'He beat me to it'.

Before Kagome knew it, the man in the purple robes was taking hold of her hand.

"What can I do for you, m'lady? Name it, and it will be done, for a beauty such as you". He kissed her hand.

Outside the 36th story window (Go figure, it's a castle), Chaos and Death sighed dreamily on their pearly white authoress cloud of DOO- err.. happiness. "I wish I had a man like that.." Chaos sighed. "Yeah..." Death agreed. "You want a man to slobber all over your hand...?" Questioned a third voice; Kenshin! Chaos, the jumpy little neko that she was, leapt a few feet into the air, and went plummeting down from 36 stories. Death scowled at Kenshin, and started lecturing him about how he shouldn't surprise people; She'd also forgotten to try and catch her partner in crime, and was reminded when she heard a sickening 'thump!'. Death Winced.

"Cats land on their feet... right.....?"

A feeble "I'm okay.." Came echoing up, along with a groan.

Anyway....

"We're in need of The Great Monk Of Oz to help my friends get a brain," She pointed to the scarecrow, "A heart," She pointed to the Tin-Fluffy, "And.... Some mental help," She pointed to the bawling Naraku still in Seshoumaru's arms. "Oh," She remembered, "And I need to get home."

"No problem!" The man announced cheerfully.

Kagome's eyes lit up. "Really!? Oh, are you the Great Monk!?" She clasped her hands.

"Nope!" He said in the same cheerful tone. Kagome's face fell. "Oh..." She said. "Well, do you know where he is?"

"Sure!"

"Where!?"

The man pointed up the next flight of stairs. "Up again, and to the left. You'll see a big orange door."

"Orange..?" To this point, everything had been purple... She shrugged it off and thanked the man profusely, dragging her companions onward.
