"Inu Family: Sidestory"

Side Story 1:

A Little of what happened in the aftermath.

"He is Aoshi, and he's 5 months old." Said Mikami proudly. Sesshomaru snorted and the girls ogled.

"What a pair of eyes!" Sango said petting Aoshi's nose.

"Look at his black ear!" Squealed Kagome. "It's So Cute!"

":yawn: Bu, bu!"

"Aaaww!" three feminine voices exclaimed. "He's sleepy!"

Nothing like a baby to melt a few hearts. Aoshi settled in his mothers arms, yawned one more time and closed his eyes and prepared to nap. Mikami and Sango smiled, Kagome, on the other hand, stared at Inu-Yasha… who was carrying his father with Sesshomaru. Miroku wasn't very far from them, but now, he wasn't leading the group: he was right behind the Inu brothers and his eyes were fixated on the wounded dog's back. Shippo and Rin on the other hand…

":runs in circles: TAG!"

"Hey! No Fair! I tripped :runs in circles: TAG!"

":giggles: TAG! :runs in circles:"

…Were playing like a couple of old friends.

"Inu-Yasha! I'm coming back to my house!" Kagome suddenly said.

":drops Inutaisho: WHAT! WHY? ABSOLUTELY NOT, YOU JUST ARRIVED!"

":tries to pick Inutaisho: BE CAREFUL, WHELP!" growled Sesshomaru as he tried to catch his father from falling. Miroku rushed to help.

":jumps in front of Kagome: Why do you want to come back when you just arrived?"

"I would like to get your dad a few clothes: look at him! He's dressed in rags!… And I want to get some other items…"

"BUT…!"

"I'll be back within the hour :teary eyes: please?"

":stare:"

":teary puppy eyes:"

"Ok, go… BUT BE BACK IN AN HOUR!"

":jumps and hugs Inu-Yasha: OH, THANK YOU:kiss: Bye, bye!"

Kagome rushed to the well. Inu-Yasha blushed and turned around. He found Sesshomaru's sour face and Mikami's perplexed face. Sango was trying not to laugh and Miroku was inspecting Inutaisho.

"This Sesshomaru thinks that you're careless and that you should control your woman better, otouto."

"Shut UP! Your control over your woman is as good as mine, Aniki!"

"Is WAY better than yours!"

":vein pop:"

THUD, THUD

Two rocks hit the brother's faces with a terrific aiming. Miroku winced, Sango closed her eyes and Kirara meowed in sympathy. The children (but Aoshi) kept running in circles, playing 'tag'.

"Oi! What's the matter with you, wench?"

BOMP, THUD

That sentence earned a bomp from Sesshomaru and another rock from Mikami. I believe that Mikami's supply of rock is endless. Inu-Yasha stood in a matter of seconds.

"Don't call my wife like that, understood?"

"I can defend myself, thank you very much:reaches Inu-Yasha: Sorry for the rock, but I couldn't help it. I won't do that again, promise."

"Feh."

"Bu, bu!"

":eyes Aoshi: Hmpf…"

"… Er… You don't sound like a bad person: Aoshi likes you already."

":walks away: Whatever!" muttered Inu-Yasha as he stared at the Houshi. Mikami shrugged and Sesshomaru growled. "What the F... are you doing, Bouzu?"

"Looking for the spider tattoo… in vain I think. Looks like this guy is the real Inutaisho." That explanation earned him a lot of raised eyebrows. "Sorry, but the whole thing smelled fishy to me: It crossed my mind that this could be some Naraku's trick, but there's no spider on this person's back."

"Pathetic humans and their pathetic sense of smell!"

"Hey! I resent That!"

"Feh."

"See If I Care! I don't bloody care about what the fck Naraku is planning this time:walks away: I'm out of here: I'm going to my tree to take a nap."

Sesshomaru just growled at him in disapproval and Mikami sighed. He sniffed at her and took her arm with delicacy. Miroku finished his inspection and stared at them. Sango kneeled by Inutaisho, secured the provisional bandages and tried to tame the old dog's hair.

"Dear Kami! His Hair Is A Mess!" complained Sango. "This is mission impossible… we better hurry with this guy: he needs Kaede-baba right away."

"Huntress, Houshi: can I trust my father to your care?" asked Sesshomaru with a slightly annoyed voice.

"Sure." Responded Miroku warily. "May I ask why?"

"Ah-Un will take my father to whatever you're planning to take him. We'll follow later. :eyes Mikami: I need to speak with my wife."

":surprised: About what?"

":walks away: About you following me here!"

":annoyed: Hmpf."

Sango and Miroku crossed looks as the couple disappeared in the forest. Sango sighed and desisted in her attempt to tame Inutaisho's bushy silver hair. Ah poked tenderly the Houshi's shoulder and Un signaled his back. In a swift movement, Miroku and Sango picked Inutaisho up and secured him in the beast back.

":runs in circles: TAG!"

"Ouw… :runs in circles: TAG!"

Rin and Shippo kept playing. Their energy supply was endless.

"Hmpf. Do we look like babysitters?" Asked Sango out of the blue. "Children! We're going to the village! Shippo: Take care Of Rin, Okay?"

":yells: OKAY! We're coming!"

"I have two theories for Inu-Yasha's whereabouts: he went to his tree to sulk, not nap, because of Kagome-sama's leaving or simply he followed her to her world. :stares at Sango: and I also have two theories about Sesshomaru and Mikami's whereabouts: they went to the spring to 'make out' :wink, wink: or they're going chew their heads off that way :winks again:."

":'why me?' expression: You never change, Houshi-sama." Complained Sango as she rolled her eyes to the sky.

And yes, Inutaisho was still out.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

SLAM, SMASH

Useless Whores! I knew that something was going to happen but I never believe that THIS MESS would happen:squeezes heart: What in the hell I was thinking when I 'fathered' such pests! My WHOLE plan is ruined, Ruined!

"AAARRRGGGHHH!… stop it!"

"HMPF!"

Kanna is now vulnerable thanks to Sesshomaru and that useless sword of his, HER mirror is lost, I didn't get the bones I wanted and now, a warrior, such as Inutaisho, is back to life and he isn't under my control! I GOT NOTHING! NOTHING! :squeezes heart: I Got Nothing but a Bigger Problem and a Tougher Enemy!

SLASH!

"AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!"

An Annoying Dog Pest! Just being resurrected and currently weak… huh? One of my saimyoushou enters to my presence… :picks bug and hears him:

As I thought, Inutaisho is in bad condition and he was taken to Kikyou's ex-village…

I could use that… :eyes saimyoushou: You know what to do…

In the meantime :picks three saimyoushou: I think I could use you guys too.

Ends of Side Story 1.
