Trouble in the wild

Sorry it's taken so long (uber ultra super MEGA long to be exact) MAJOR school priorities. Anyways… In the last chapter, there was some serious goings on between the girls and boys of the Inuyasha gang. Hehe w If you've been reading the previous chapters, you know that Onsuiji, the demon that nicked Kikijin's weapon, was about to be torn to bits by Inuyasha. Let the show begin, er… um, continue.

"Inuyasha!" shouted Kagome. "Stop!"

Inuyasha soared through the air, ignoring Kagome's plea, his sword poised and ready to slice Onsuiji in half.

"SIT BOY!"

Immediately, he was pulled back down to earth. Inuyasha plowed through the surface of the water, in the center of the lake, with a huge splash.

He resurfaced, spit out a mouthful of water, and swam back to shore, scowling. When Inuyasha got to dry land, he immediately began arguing with Kagome.

"What was THAT for?! He's a demon and he has a jewel shard! This… Onsuiji thing is obviously up to no good. On top of that, he stole Kikijin's weapon!"

"He said he had good reason!" Kagome shouted back. "And besides… is that why you're doing this?" She pointed at Kikijin, "For your beloved Kikijin?!"

Inuyasha's voice got caught in his throat. He looked at Kikijin, then at Kagome. She had tears in her eyes.

Onsuiji cleared his throat. He came down to the ground and landed in front of Kikijin. He pulled out her arm blades and knelt before her.

"I humbly apologize." Onsuiji said, holding the weapon up for her to take. "Forgive me. I did not mean any harm."

Kikijin took back her arm blades and almost immediately, Onsuiji took her in his arms and kissed her. Everyone's mouth drops open; once again, Inuyasha falls hard to the ground (Note: Not because of Kagome)

He reluctantly pulled away from Kikijin and looked deep into her eyes. Both Inuyasha and Miroku were scowling and clenching their fists. Miroku, however, was the one who took action. He strolled over to them and stood in between the two. He chuckles in a confident "I don't think so" way

"Excuse me, my good demon. Now I'm sure you're nice to be around and all, but I don't think Kikijin is interested."

"Uh…" Kikijin said.

"You don't actually like this creep do you? He's a demon! He's only acting! He want's something!"

"What's THAT supposed to mean?! I'M A DEMON!"

"Well, I… er… I meant no offense to you by it. You're different. You're not like most demons we've fought. They're murderous. You're not."

Onsuiji cleared his throat.

"If I may interrupt, I can assure you that I am indeed good. If I we're evil, I would have killed you all from the start"

"Yeah," Inuyasha scoffed, "I'd like to see you try"

"Oh I assure you Inuyasha, I have the ability"

"How do you know my name?"

Onsuiji did not answer, but only smiled and looked toward the lake.

"I," he said, changing the subject, "have been looking for a mate to rule the skies. After our cousins, the Birds of Paradise, were wiped out by a herd of wanderers, our kingdom in the sky has been quite empty."

Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango all remained silent. They all knew they took part in that mass slaughter.

Onsuiji paid no mind to their sudden uneasiness and continued.

"Kikijin," he took her hands in his, "you must bear my children, so that the skies will once again be filled with the sound of rushing wings."

"Oh! … Wait…" Kikijin said, looking over at a crestfallen Miroku. She turned back to Onsuiji. "I'm sorry, but I plan to bear Miroku's children."

"WHAT?!" said everyone in unison, including Miroku.

"K-Kikijin, are you serious?" said Miroku, astonished, "You would actually bear me a child?"

"Perhaps more then one," she replied, with a sly look in her eyes and a slight blush.

Miroku looked as if he would faint from pure joy.

"But alas," Onsuiji interrupted, "is the human race dying out? Kikijin, my love, the skies are almost empty! They must be teeming with the sound of rushing wings to bring balance and order to the circle of life! You must! I beg of you!"

"Look… Onsuiji, you're very tempting. Very, very… uh…" she said trailing off.

Miroku nudged her in the arm and cleared his throat.

"Oh! Sorry. As I was saying, forgive me, but I have made my decision."

"I see…" he mused, "Well, then I shall just have to travel with you"

"Heke?" said the girls in the group.

"Enya?" said the boys.

"Now wait just one minute! We have enough in our group as it is! Inuyasha, help me out here!" Miroku pleaded.

"I think it would best if I didn't mess around in things that aren't my business…" Inuyasha stated, a quick glance at Kagome.

Miroku and Onsuiji argue for a long time. Eventually, Miroku gives up and allows Onsuiji to travel with them

"But you must fight demons like the rest of us," Miroku explained.

"Exactly," said Inuyasha, "And Kagome is off limits."

"As well as Kikijin."

"And Sango," Sesshomaru added.

Both Sesshomaru and Sango were straightening out their clothes. They had been in the forest for a long time while Miroku and Onsuiji were fighting.

"Sango," Kagome said, "what happened? Your hair's messed up and you look exhausted."

"Shh!" Sango hissed.

"What's the matter Sang… OH… ok I get it. … HEY, WAIT! What are you doing THAT out HERE for? Don't you have any standards?"

"He seduced me," Sango blushed, "and he is very hard to resist."

"I see… so, uh…" Kagome paused, "is he any good?"

"Ah… ; well… I don't like to expose such delicate information, but… It was… spectacular."

"What was spectacular?" asked Miroku, strolling over to them.

"(OoO) Oh! Um, we were… just talking about… that… magnificent fight you had with Onsuiji," Kagome covered.

"O… Kay…"

He walked away. Kagome and Sango let out relieved sighs.

Kagome looked over at Shippo. He was sitting down, swishing his tail while Rin tried to catch it. Kagome laughed.

"Well Shippo, it looks to me like somebody's got a new girlfriend."

"Wha? Who me?" Shippo said innocently. "Rin and I barely know each other. I'm not like Miroku who goes chasing after every beautiful girl he sees. And I'm not like Inuyasha who won't tell the woman he's in love with how he feels, though she already knows."

Inuyasha pulled Shippo up by his tail.

"And just what is that supposed to mean?"

"Uhh… Hey! Did Onsuiji give us that jewel shard yet?"

"Oh, yeah. Right!"

Inuyasha dropped Shippo on his head.

"Onsuiji I believe we had an arrangement. Where's the jewel shard?"

Onsuiji pulled out a shard of the sacred Shikon jewel.

"I'm a man of my word, Inuyasha. The jewel shard is yours now…"

Onsuiji gave him the jewel shard. Inuyasha threw his fist in the air

"Alright! We've got another shard of the jewel!"

That's all for now. And once again I apologize for taking so long to update. Hopefully my next one will be up sooner. Until then, dream sweet dreams about your beloved fanfic writer. (Just kidding!) See you next chapter! v
