Love's Labour Lost Chapter 13

"Inuyasha, can't we rest?" Sango meekly requested "We've been traveling for days"

"Inuyasha there is a hotspring nearby that perhaps would be an ice place to stop" Miroku suggested.

Realizing they were both being completely ignored they tried one more time.

"INUYASHA!" They both screamed in unison

"I heard you! We still don't know where Kagome is, we can't just sit back and rest!"

"You didn't seem so concerned when you were fighting with her" Shippo mumbled.

"Fine! We'll stop" Inuyasha yelled back at the group.


After group set up camp, Sango and Shippo went off to the hot spring.

Shippo has been really quiet. Maybe he's worried. Sango thought

"She'll be fine Shippo, we'll find her" Sango encouraged the young kitsune

"Huh? Oh yeah, I know she will" Shippo replied staring off into the distance (West )

What is going on with him? Sango wondered. He's hiding something and I'm going to get it out of him.

As the two prepared to head back to camp, Sango grabbed Shippo and tied him to a tree.

"Sango! What are you doing?"

"Where is Kagome-chan?" Sango demanded, brandishing a weapon

"How would I know?" Shippo wailed

"I know you are lying. I am a demon exterminator, torture is my specialty"

"umm Sango, what are you talking about... HELP!"

"Very well, but remember that you made me do it"

As Sango began torturing poor Shippo, Inuyasha and Miroku stormed out of the bushes and both sweat-dropped at the scene before them.

Shippo was tied to a tree and was being tickled by Sango with her weapon, a feather.

"Stupid kit" Inuyasha mumbled storming away.

"Sango why are you..." Miroku started.

"He knows about Kagome"

"He what!"

"No I-I don't" Shippo wailed

"See, he's nervous, he's lying. Care to try your luck Miroku?" Sango offered, both of them acquiring an evil gleam in their eyes.

"WAIT!" Shippo cried as Miroku inched toward his prayer beads. "She'll kill me if I tell" Shippo tried as a defense one last time.

"Kagome would never hurt you" Sango reminded, cutting him down.

"N-not Kagome, Kagura..."

"KAGURA!" Miroku and Sango screamed!

"You were protecting Kagura!" Sango bellowed

"No, I wasn't. I was protecting Sesshomaru!... oops"

"Sesshomaru!"

"He saved her again. I think he cares for her"

Snarling Inuyasha landed before Shippo, "MY BROTHER WILL NEVER CARE FOR A HUMAN. WE LEAVE FOR THE WEST IN THE MORNING!"

"A human, well perhaps he could, your father did and you do. Besides, Kagome isn't an ordinary human, she is a priestess who saved and cares for Rin, as well as respects him." Shippo retorted.

"DON'T EVEN SUGGEST THAT SHE CARES FOR HIM!" Inuyasha barked.

"Is that so wrong. At least he's ALIVE!"

A hush settled over the area as Inuyasha tried not to tear the little brat to pieces. The silence was finally broken by a harsh slap, followed by a ringing scream of "PERVERT!"

"I am very sorry Sango, I really do care for you and respect your wishes, but my cursed hand has a mind of its own"

With a sigh Sango and Miroku left the two fuming demons to settle their dispute and wandered off hand in hand.

At least if I hold his hand he can't grope me. Sango thought, enjoying Miroku's company.


A/N: Ok, so the chapters are a bit shorter than normal, but I wanted to keep these stories separate. I hope you liked them. Hopefully I'll have more up soon!
