Of Wolves and Tights

Chapter 15

Must be a family gene

Authors note: Ok it's been a while, a long while. I'm sorry, I'm not going to make excuses cause you don't wanna hear them. And in response to a certain review(which is the reason why I'm writing this) I haven't been taking a vacation from writing I've just been working on other things that can't be published here(stupid copyright laws). Also I know I said Nobunaga but well I like Akitoki better and since he's Houjo's relative it works for the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha or the song Footloose. I do own the enchanted boombox though.

Walking along the road the Inu group were nearing a bridge over a small river when the sounds of arguing reached their ears. Or rather Inu Yasha's ears and he informed everyone else.

Reaching the bridge the group gave a collective sigh as they noticed that the victim of yet another group of river bridge bandits was Akitoki. Walking forewards resolutely Inu Yasha picked the rear two bandits up and tossed them to either side a bored expression on his face.

"Hey Akitoki, what cursed family heirloom ya got this time?"Inu Yasha asked as he walked forewards to deal with the other two bandits.

"Ah Inu Yasha sama!"Akitoki exclaimed as he picked himself and his green bundle up from the bridge.

"Akitoki! Are you ok?"Kagome asked as the rest of the Inu Yasha group walked up to the bridge.

"Ahh Kagome-sama!"Akitoki perked right up turning quickly to look at her he slipped over one of the fallen bandits sleeves and went tumbling into the river.

"Seems his luck hasn't changed."Shippo remarked from his perch on Inu Yasha's shoulder.

"You expected it to?"Inu Yasha asked looked at Shippo. Shippo shook his head with a miniature sigh.

Later when they were all across the bridge and setting down for lunch Inu Yasha decided to ask his question again.

"So Akitoki what family heirloom do you have to get rid of this time?"Inu Yasha asked scooting behind Akitoki and grabbing onto the green carrying case.(if anyones what this things called please review and tell me)

Akitoki squirmed and grabbed onto the case trying to pull it free of Inu Yasha's grasp.

"It's not a family heirloom, it's a gift to my future wife Kagome."Akitoki said proudly. This of course did not get the reaction he wanted.

"WWWHHHAAAATTTT?"Inu Yasha shouted while growling at the same time. Miroku and Sango were looking at Kagome with shocked expressions and Kagome just shrugged.

"Not me."She said simply sipping from her water. Akitoki nodded quickly trying to pry Inu Yasha's hands off his shirt.

"Exactly as Kagome-sama said. A different Kagome."He sputtered as Inu Yasha's hold was cutting off his air suply. Inu Yasha huffed and dropped Akitoki sitting back down his back turned to the others.

"Why don't we listen to some music to lighten the mood?"Sango asked grabbing onto the enchanted boombox. Most of the group went rigid hearing that and the familiar whir as the boombox started up the CD inside spinning.

Kagome sighed when she heard the song knowing that she,Sango, and Shippo at least were safe from this song. What no one expected of course was for Akitoki to jump up and start dancing dressed in jeans and a t-shirt.

"I been working, I'm punching my card. Eight hours for what? Oh tell me what I got. I got this feelin, that times just holdin me down. I'll hit the ceiling, or else I'll tear up this town. Tonight I gotta cut."He sang dancing around.

Miroku, Inu Yasha, and Shippo were snickering to each other at the way he was dressed and dancing. Kagome and Sango looked at each other, Akitoki, and then the guys and sighed. Akitoki danced oblivious to them all.

"Loose, footloose. Kick off your Sunday shoes. Please, Louise, pull me offa my knees. Jack, get back.C'mon before we crack. Loose, your blues. Everybody cut footloose."As Akitoki sang this the others sprang up. Miroku was in a tux and Sango a prom dress(gotta have some refernece to the movie) while Inu Yasha and Kagome were just dressed in their normal clothes.

"You're playin, so cool. Obeyin every rule. Dig way down in your heart, your burnin yearnin for some. Somebody to tell you, that life ain't passin you by. I'm trying to tell you, it will if you don't even try. You can fly if you'd only cut." Akitoki was once again dancing alone. The others were looking at each other afraid of the fact that they were dragged in before. Shippo was the first to run managing to reach a safe distance before the refrain started again.

"Loose, footloose. Kick off your Sunday shoes. Oowhee, Mary, shake it shake it for me. Oh, Milo, c'mon, c'mon let's go. Loose your blues. Everybody cut footloose, cut footloose, cut footloose,cut footloose." Everyone was singing along now as they danced around.

"We got to turn your around."Akitoki sang and Miroku bolted off as the spell released him first.

"You put your feet on the ground."Sango was next dashing off with Hiriakotsu.

"Now take a hold of your soul."Inu Yasha jumped off as fast as his hanyou feet could carry him.

"I'm turning it."Now Kagome ran grabbing into her pack and hopping onto her bike pedling for all she was worth.

"Loose, FOOTLOOSE.Kick off your Sunday shoes. Please, louise, pull me offa my knees. Jack get back. Loose your blues. Everybody cut footloose. Footloose, kick off your Sunday shoes. Please Louise, pull me offa my knees. Jack get back. Come on before we crack. Loose your blues, everybody cut, everybody cut,everybody cut, everybody cut, everybody cut FOOTLOOSE."Akitoki finished with a pose only to realise the others were gone and the strange machine had turned off as if embarassed to be on around him.

Scratching his head he wrapped it up, slung it over his back and started walking figuring this as a good excuse to see Kagome again.

End Authors note

Wee that was weird trying to find the lyrics that matched what I was hearing on my discman so I ditched the lyrics sites and had to sit and type what I heard.Bah never wanna do that again. Anyway you all owe this chapter being done and put up tonight to the infamous all nighter. Now I have homework that I should have been doing instead of this but felt like putting off. I need more peach flavored sugar water. Next chapter will most likely have one of the bad guys singing something ridiculous, maybe Naraku singing the Mississippi Squirell revival.
