Chapter Twenty Two: Talks of Wishing Romances
A-CHOO!
"Great, someone's talking shit about me..." Inuyasha muttered.
* * *
Mei Lhi lay on her tree branch lost in thought when a small voice interrupted them.
"Mei Lhi-sama!" Myouga called.
"Yes Myouga-jijii?" Mei Lhi replied, annoyed, heaving a heavy sigh.
"I must agree with you, Inuyasha-sama should put Kikyo-sama to rest and stay with Kagome-sama."
"Well at least somebody agrees with me..."
Mei Lhi smiled slightly, a fang poking out.
"Mei Lhi-sama, perhaps, if it isn't too much trouble, could you help Inuyasha-sama with his problems, and lead him in the right way?"
"Why are you so concerned all of a sudden?" Mei Lhi asked, quirking an eyebrow.
"Inuyasha-sama would do well to marry a good woman. Like your father did. He could never be happy with Kikyo-sama. I've been watching, you see, Mei Lhi-sama. Inuyasha-sama is much happier when he is around Kagome-sama than he is when he's around Kikyo-sama."
"I see...well, alright then...I'll make sure Onii-san knows right from wrong and yadda yadda yadda..."
"Arigatou, Mei Lhi-sama!"
Myouga jumped back down to the grassy floor, then hopped away.
Mei Lhi sighed, inwardly smiling to herself.
'Well, I guess I'll have to break that little promise I made to myself...I've got no choice but to help Onii-san with his relationship problems now...' She thought.
She jumped out of the Goshinboku Tree's branches and headed back towards the village.
* * *
"What do you mean, Sango-chan?" Kagome asked.
"I think that Inuyasha is starting to realize that even though Kikyo seems alive, she is dead and always will be." Sango replied.
"I don't think so..."
"Then why did he reflect Kikyo's attack back at her when Mei Lhi was danger?"
"Well what about all the times I've been in danger and he's done nothing?!"
"Kagome-chan, that was before Mei Lhi was here...she could have changed him in a way that you can't..."
Mei Lhi walked into the hut.
"I changed who in a way that Kagome-chan couldn't?" She asked.
"Please, join our discussion." Sango urged.
"Uh...ok?" Mei Lhi replied uncertaintly.
"So back to our subject...Inuyasha-" Sango began.
"I knew it!" Mei Lhi interjected indignantly.
"Our subject, this ongoing Inuyasha, Kikyo, Kagome triangle...he will be faced with a decision."
"Inuyasha doesn't even like me!" Kagome exclaimed.
"I wouldn't say that..." Mei Lhi said quietly.
Kagome and Sango looked at her, blinking several times.
"You see...when we arrived back, we both went to the Goshinboku Tree, and we...talked...of things..." Mei Lhi continued.
"What sort of things?" Kagome asked curiously.
* * *
Inuyasha leapt through the trees until he finally reached the village. He silently made his way closer to Kaede's hut, but stopped when he heard voices.
"Inuyasha doesn't like me!" He heard Kagome say loudly.
"I wouldn't say that..." Mei Lhi replied softly.
'She's going to tell Kagome?! I'm never telling her anything again!' Inuyasha thought angrily.
There was a silence in the hut and Mei Lhi continued.
"You see...when we arrived back, we both went to the Goshinboku Tree, and we...talked...of things..."
"What sort of things?" Kagome asked.
He couldn't stand it any longer. He made his way to the hut making as much noise as possible.
* * *
Mei Lhi's white ears twitched, and she caught her brother's scent.
"Uh oh..." She said.
"What?" Sango and Kagome asked.
"Onii-san...he probably heard us..."
Kagome's face flushed red just as the door flew open and Inuyasha stormed in.
"Mei Lhi, we have to talk...now." He said seriously.
"What about? I'm sure you can tell me while I'm with my friends..." Mei Lhi replied.
Inuyasha growled then roughly grabbed Mei Lhi by the arm and proceeded to pull her out the door.
"Hey! Let me go!" Mei Lhi protested.
Kagome's blush faded and her voice returned.
"Inuyasha! Osuwari!" She yelled.
Inuyasha fell face first into the dirt and received a mouthful of grass, also dragging Mei Lhi down with him, causing her to do a back flip over his head, landing on her back.
"Thank you, Kagome-chan!" Mei Lhi said brightly.
About five minutes later, Inuyasha pushed himself to his feet from his seven-foot deep imprint of his body on the ground.
"Damn it, wench! What'd you do that for?! Is there something wrong or can I not have a stupid, simple, little talk with Mei Lhi, wench?!!!" He yelled angrily.
"Augh!!!! Inuyasha!!!! Osuwari! Osuwari! Osuwari! Osuwari! Osuwari! OSUWARI!!!!!!!!" Kagome screamed.
The hanyou was repeatedly slammed into the ground by the subduing spell, until finally on the last 'sit' he had made at least a twelve foot deep hole in the ground.
"Wow...you could bury two people in that one..." Mei Lhi commented. "Kagome- chan, you could get paid to make graves for people...just 'sit' Onii-san a whole bunch of times..."
By the time Inuyasha could stand again, his temper was at an alarmingly high level.
"What the fuck was that for, wench?! What'd I do wrong this time?!!!"
"My name is not, wench!!! It's Kagome! Ka-go-me!!!!! Get it right!!!!"
Mei Lhi was leaning against the hut wall, laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes.
"What's so damn funny Mei Lhi?!"
"You...it's just so...so stupid how you two fight...but it's hysterical..." She replied, still laughing.
"It is NOT funny!" Inuyasha yelled, accidentally kicking a rock.
The rock hit Mei Lhi right in the head. She stopped laughing instantly.
Kagome gasped.
"Inuyasha!" She exclaimed.
Mei Lhi glared at her brother, her eyes flashing menacingly.
Inuyasha backed away, wincing from his sister's piercing gaze.
Mei Lhi continued to glare at him, her eye now twitching.
Inuyasha sighed, then he turned away from Sango, Kagome, and Mei Lhi.
"Gomen..." He muttered.
Mei Lhi's gaze softened. Kagome and Sango looked on in shock.
"W-what?!" Kagome spluttered.
"You heard me, we-Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled furiously, just catching himself from calling Kagome a wench and preventing himself from getting 'sat' again.
"Don't worry, Onii-san. I never was mad at you...I just wanted you to apologize..." Mei Lhi said brightly. "And no calling Kagome-chan a wench anymore, ok?"
Her words only made Inuyasha even more angry than he already was.
"You little-forget it!" He shouted, jumping into a tree nearby until he reached his usual spot in the Goshinboku Tree where he went to sulk.
