Chapter Two: The Misadventure

The next day they had packed up camp quickly and started off. Since Kagome could not since any jewel shards, they continued north. Everything seemed normal, Sango had been in a good mood until Miroku had decided that, because she was in a good mood, he should grope her, which earned him 'the Hentai Award', a bright red hand-shaped mark on the houshi's cheek. Kirara walked next to the now-angry Sango, and Shippou had perched himself on Kagome's shoulder, chatting away about anything that sparked the young kitsune's interest. No one seemed to notice that Inuyasha was on the edge.

With every step he took, the hanyou only grew angrier. What was wrong with Kagome? Why did she touch her stomach every few seconds, and get a look of disbelief on her face? Didn't everyone else see it? Didn't they know something was wrong with her? His face grew dark and mean. What if someone had hurt her, and she was trying to hide it? He could see her doing something like that. If that was the reason, then he would hunt down whoever the bastard was and make sure their slaughtering was so brutal and inhumane, that future generations would make a horror movie about it called 'The Inu Hanyou Kills Bastard Massacre.'

"AHH! Inuyasha, your face!" The loud, and very high-pitched, sound of Shippou's scream brought everyone's attention to Inuyasha, who still held the 'I'm going to kill the bastard' look on his face. Everyone took a slow, almost unnoticeable, step away from him, even Kirara cringing slightly.

"You know, Inuyasha, that if you keep looking like their, your face would be stuck." Miroku said in his usual calm voice, and you could tell he was trying to hold in his smile. For some unknown reason, making Inuyasha unhappier seemed to be Miroku's greatest pleasure. That and groping pretty young women.

"Um…Inuyasha, are you are right?" Kagome asked tentatively, taking a step towards him. Shippou, not wanting to be in fire range, jumped off her shoulder and scampered over to Sango and Kirara, who seemed to be the only sane people in the group.

Inuyasha watched with narrowed, angry golden eyes as Kagome stood in front of him, a hesitant hand reaching forward, although whether to shake him or just merely touch him, no one was sure. She stopped suddenly in her tracks, eyes wide open, when she heard Inuyasha issue a low growl. She looked around, as if she was expecting a youkai to jump out, but was a little scared when she understood the growl was for her. Brown eyes grew wider, mouth gaping before she stuttered out the words. "Uh…Inu…Inuyasha?"

Suddenly, he turned and just started walking in the direction they were going, ears almost falling flat against his head as she growled at anything that was in his path. Everyone stared, gaping, as he continued on, and slowly everyone started to follow, wondering what the hell had made the look appear.

"What got his panties in a bunch." Kagome muttered to herself, but she made the mistake of saying it while Shippou was on her shoulder.

Shippou, to naïve to know what she really meant, screamed out loudly to Inuyasha. "Inuyasha! You ware panties? Are they in a bunch?!"

The said hanyou then turned slowly around, golden eyes wide and mouth open, totally shocked to hear what the little kitsune had said.

"My.... My panties?" He said, and then suddenly, an angry scowl marked his features as he took off towards the young youkai.

"My…. My panties?!" He yelled, jumping towards the young youkai with fisted hands. Shippou, immediately sencing danger, ran in circles around Kagome, with the inu hanyou following right after him, spitting curses that would've made a slayer proud.

Shippou jumped onto Miroku's shoulders, and the enraged hanyou started off towards Miroku. Muroku, wanting not to die, took off running the opposite direction, stumbling down a sloped hill with the young kitsune youkai yelling at him to run faster. Kagome, Sango, and Kirara watched as Inuyasha jumped into the air over them, his hands ready to do some serious damage to the two. The demon slayer and priestess shared a concerned look, both of them wondering what had gotten Inuyasha in such a bad mood today.

Kagome nodded faintly and took a deep breath before shouting. "Inuyasha, SIT!"

The subduing command was followed quickly by a loud crashing sound, followed by the sharp yell of a kitsune youkai, the guttural moaning noise of a houshi, and the loud swearing of a very pissed inu hanyou.

Both of the girls waited for the trio to come trudging up the hill, but were rewarded with the continuing groaning. Sharing a puzzle look, they started towards the top of the hill.

Staring down the sloped land, all Inuyasha and Miroku heard were peels of laughter, and even the young kitsune snickered a bit as he stood back and watched the two males.

Because of Kagome sit while Inuyasha was right over Miroku and Shippou, Inuyasha had feel directly atop of Miroku, the two hand ended in a position that either would have you guessing about their sexuality. And the fact that Inuyasha's rosary had somehow got wrapped around Miroku's cursed hand and stuck with his prayer beads didn't help any. Now, they both had to hold still in case that Miroku's prayer beads were broke and released the void in his hand. Shippou, who had sencing the trouble when he did, had jumped to the safety of the grass, and enjoyed the funny site of Inuyasha's landing.

"Wow, Inuyasha, I never knew you two were that way." Even though he was just a kid, Shippou wasn't that ignorant. What was better, Inuyasha couldn't get up and beat the hell out of him. He smiled smugly at the thought, and sat down with his arms crossed.

"Um… Sango, Kagome, could one of you two lovely ladies come help us into a more…. Moral position?" Miroku asked, a desperate fringe to his usually calm voice.

His calm voice sent Kagome and Sango into galls of laughter again, and earned him a glare from the very pissed inu hanyou who somehow managed to bring his free fist down on the houshi's head. Inuyasha growl stopped the girls laughter, and even though they begin to help the two out of their mess, they couldn't stop their smiles. Shippou, knowing that he better be ready when Inuyasha is free, quickly scampered up on Kagome's shoulder and tried to hide himself in her hair.

Just as predicted, as soon as Inuyasha was free he leaped up and growled menicingly at Shippou. Kagome opened her mouth to say the word but Miroku's cry broke through. "KAGOME! Please, uh, wait for me to move?"

Which caused Kagome and Sango to burst out laughing again and Inuyasha to turn his threatening glare to Miroku. Shippou smiled slightly, glad to have the teen hanyou's anger aimed at someone else but him. Kagome just shook her head, knowing they needed to get going. "C'mon, Inuyasha, we need to go get the jewel shards."

Mention of the jewel shards snapped the inu hanyou back to attention, and he nodded slightly although he gave the houshi and kitsune a slight glare before stomping off up the hill. The two girls, along with the two youkais, followed behind him, trailed by a very reluctant monk.

Second chapter! WOOT! I changed the summary, didn't like the original idea. I encourage SUGGESTIONS AND REVIEWS! And don't ask me where this idea came from, I have no idea. But I think it'd be hilarious if something like this happened! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Kagome: :::snickers::: Inuyasha, and I always thought you loved Kikyou!
