Chapter 4
The Guessing Game
&&&
(before I start I want to give Kitten Kagome a big thank you on the rp… ok now I can start)
The hanyou growled and spat out the grass, Rin looked on in amazement at the scene. She wasn't sure whether to laugh or pity him. It seemed so mean to do that, but at the same time he kinda deserved it. The miko turned to the taiyoukai and bowed slightly, "Would you care to join us for dinner?"
"Why would this Sesshomaru join his dispicable hanyou brother and his friends for a meal?"
"Perhaps you and I could figure a way to get these things off." The monk said as he slowly pulled himself back to consciousness.
Sesshomaru only nodded and motioned to the bushes and the auras of the dragon and Jaken headed away, the friends gave him a curious look and he said cooly, "Jaken does not need to know about this."
Kagome nodded and let them back to camp, Sango came up and whispered to her, "Are you sure this a good idea?"
"Sure, I want to know how well they work, and maybe we can resolve the family feud for good."
"Good idea Kagome-chan."
They came back to the campsite and Kagome sat down on her sleeping bag, the taijya had gotten some fish before she left, and they were roasting by the fire, she had more than enough for everyone. The taiyoukai looked curiously at the miko's pajama pants and normal top, it was a strange combo, with the yellow ducks and light blue background. He took a seat on the ground and watched as the kitsune hopped into her lap. She was certainly a strange being, having no trouble accepting that she had a demon in her lap. The taijya and monk sat across from him, the taijya keeping her Hiraikotsu close, like it really mattered. The monk looked slighty on edge as well. His half-brother however seemed unusually calm, causing the taiyoukai to raise a brow.
The hanyou had an idea… he smiled as the little girl entered the firelight, "Hey kid, c'mere."
Rin skipped happily over to him and took an ear between her fingers, "Oooo its so soft!"
The friends bit their lips trying to hold back the laughter, he gently took her by the wrist and removed her hand from his ear, "Yeah, yeah, I got ears, so do you."
"But your's are cute like a puppies!" she was about to reach for them again, but he handed her a finished fish before her hand could get a hold of his sensitive ear.
She flopped down next to him and happily bit into the fish, "This is nummy! Thankyou taijya lady!"
"Your very welcome Rin."
"Almost as delicious as you my dear Sango." The monk said as he bit into his.
She blushed furiously, much to everyone's amusement. Miroku continued, "Would you do me a favor Sango?"
The taijya quickly regained her composure, "Depends, what is the favor?"
"I believe I left one of my sets of prayer beads over there, would you be so kind as to hand them to me?"
"I don't see any," she looks around.
"Oh, there they are." He reaches under her, receiving a very painful handprint on his cheek, she gave him a menacing look, "Don't make me say it Houshi-sama."
"Is this monk always so leacherous?" The taiyoukai inquired.
"It was a simple misunderstanding," the monk said as he pulled out a string of beads. She blushed slightly as he put them away.
"Mmmm, Sango-chan, this is good!" the miko smiled as she took a bite.
Shippo hopped out of her lap and took a piece, taking a seat next to the girl, "So what do you like to do for fun?"
"I like to sing and pick flowers!"
"Do you ever play games?"
"Um-"
(WHAM) Sesshomaru ate dirt, the hanyou took a huge bite out of his fish inorder to mask the laughter. Rin rushed to his side, "GOMENASAI SESSHOMARU-SAMA!"
He groaned, "It was an accident Rin, just watch what you say."
"Hai Sesshomaru-sama!"
The friends exchanged a look of surprise, Sesshomaru? Being forgiving? Were they in an alternate universe? The hanyou's idea only grew, he mapped out a plot as he chewed on his fish. Everyone enjoyed the fish, until there was only one left. The hanyou eyed it and reached it, just as his brother did. "Let me have it!"
"Why should you have it, you are a pathetic half breed."
"Inuyasha he is a guest." The miko warned.
"Oh and that makes him high and mighty?"
"My blood does. I do not need to be a guest to earn food."
"What makes you so much better than me?"
"I am a full blooded taiyoukai, and Lord of the Western Lands. You are a pathetic creation that shouldn't be allowed to survive."
"And yet it was me that got tetsusaiga."
"He has a point, it is his human blood that allows him to get past the barrier." The miko added.
"Does it really bother you so much that Sesshomaru has joined us for dinner Inuyasha?" the monk asked.
"You have a brother who is constantly trying kill you and take what's your's!" the hanyou growled.
"Because that sword belongs to one far more powerful. Tetsusaiga is a sword that belongs with a Lord, it is a sword worthy of my strength."
"And Tokijin is what? A play toy?" Kagome sarchastically asked.
"Tetsusaiga is also an hierloom, and I am my father's heir. Therefore the sword belongs to me."
"You already have Tensaiga." The taijya noted.
"And it is of no use to me."
Kagome took her pillow and hugged it, wanting to scream into it, "Inuyasha just cool it, he can't take your sword because your father put a special barrier so that only you could wield it. Sesshomaru, you are already a powerful taiyoukai! You have no need for this sword, and despite what you think, Inuyasha has a power that you may never actually find in yourself. Maybe that is why your father gave you a healing sword, ever think of why he did? Why can't you two just cool it and relax for one night!"
Everyone looked at her in amazement at her bravery to confront the taiyoukai, but her eyes were filled with determination and she released the smell of frustrated anger. There was a long silence as everyone thought on what she had said. Then the taiyoukai asked something unexpected, "Miko, why do you have no problem with demons?"
She froze, thought about it and looked him in the eye, "Because I trust my friends not to hurt me, and I know I can defend myself from my enemies."
"So what am I to you?"
"A pain" the hanyou growled, receiving a glare from the miko.
She turned back to the taiyoukai, "I see you as one of those in the grey, I believe you have good in you, but you believe kindness equals weakness. I believe you could be an ally if you cared to join us. I think you care for Rin, and I believe one day you maysend her to us because you see that we are kind and would protect her as one of the group. I believe you are a loner, and care to stay that way because your heart has grown cold."
There was another long silence, then the miko sighed, "Shippo, I believe you were hinting you wanted to play a game earlier."
"What was that game where you pretended to be something and we had to guess. But you weren't allowed to say anything."
"Sharades?"
"YEAH!"
"Um whats that?"
(WHAM!)
"GOMEN SESSHOMARU-SAMA!"
The hanyou smirked, the kit had done exactly what he had hoped, he stood up, "I will go first."
He stood up and pointed to his wrist and stuck his arms, freezing. Everyone gave him a strange look and started guessing..
"Um-" (WHAM!) "GOMEN!" he bit his lip holding back the laugher
"Scare crow!" he shook his head
"You, after I get through with you." The taiyoukai growled, the hanyou snorted and shook his head.
"Statue?" he rolled his eyes and pointed to his wrist again, then retaking the position.
"I know! Time tree! Goshinboku." He nodded and sat down, letting the triumphant kitsune stand up and take his place. He had a bit of his own mischief. He grabbed his tail and fell to the ground.
"Someone tripping?" he shook his head
"Someone getting caught?"
"Um, a clumsy person, (WHAM) GOMENASAI!"
He sighed and tried again, grabbing his tail, then slapping his face before falling, the taijya jumped up,"I KNOW IT'S A HENTAI!" (WHAM!) "Oh, Houshi-sama, Gomen!"
Kagome groaned, "I think we need to end this game, anyone care for dessert?"
"What's that?" the girl asked.
"YUMMY!" Shippo exclaimed.
She smiled and dug into her backpack, "I have some cookies…" she suddenly glared at the hanyou, "Or I HAD some cookies, Inuyasha?"
"WHAT?"
"You ate the cookies!"
"Only a couple."
"Osuwari:"(WHAM)
"Sorry guys, I guess no dessert, cause a certain pig ate them all."
"So is dinner all done?" Rin asked.
"Yeah, thanks for joining us!" Kagome gave her a light hug.
"Yeah, it was entertaining." The hanyou muttered with a smirk, which was quickly wiped away when he received a warning look from the miko.
"Rin. We are going." The taiyoukai stood and began walking away. The miko smiled and yelled after him, "Think on what I said!"
He and the girl disappeared into the night and the miko settled into her sleeping bag, falling asleep after an exhausting day.
