Ok, so does anyone actually know what a tie-around is called? I looked on this website, ( and they called it a "pareo"… oh well, I'll go with that. I just know they are comfortable and that Sango is the type who would appreciate being somewhat covered. ;)
Sorry about the underlining, it just loaded that way and it won't let me fix it... :(
and FYI the "&&&&" are scene changes the computer wouldn't let me do the stars.
Disclaimer: Nope nothin of mine, Rumiko however, well the characters belong to her...
Ooo, the twists begin!
This chapter is the first of the competition/ war!
This is gonna be fun… but first a word to my reviewers:
Tsukiyomegami- Thank you for the feedback, you have no idea how much I enjoy getting reviews! & like always, I'm open to suggestions!
Phoenixoffireluysanime- Dude you have a long name! Glad to know you are enjoying the story, I have so many things planned I can't hardly write this one out fast enough! I already have the next three chapter's hand written! And your thoughts will be answered shortly, just have a read!
Blu-babe- I like to keep my stories light and happy!
Almost Human- this story is a post-Naraku fanfic. I would have combined it with the other, but I didn't want them to have to worry about the shards like they may need to in the other story. (Oops did I say too much) Any who I agree with the whole show, but they do get cute every once in a while, especially in the last few episodes, (epi. 160 and up) I have been told to add humor, and add romance for that one, so I will add both… Thanks for the review!
Fun in the Sun
Chapter 2
Shippo the Spy
&&&&&&
Inuyasha sped away from the well, taking great strides from branch to branch. Kagome always felt like she was flying when he took her at such speeds. Her legs were making her a might uncomfortable when Inuyasha had taken her knees in his elbows locking her in place. Inuyasha would never do anything like Miroku, but being so close, and without a shirt! It was all giving her quite a rush. The feel of his strong muscles and smooth skin against not only her arms and legs but her whole front side, her skin was tingling in delight, suddenly wanting to lean even closer. He slowed down and came to a stop on a high, well-hidden branch of a particularly tall tree. He carefully set Kagome down on the wide branch and she looked around, "Uh, where are we?"
"Don't you know?"
Kagome got a look at her surroundings, "on… Goshinboku."
"Yep."
Kagome sat down on the branch, leaning against the ancient trunk, trying to get over the rush that always came from traveling on Inuyasha, and this time he was only in swim shorts! She quickly readjusted her pareo, since it had ridden up very high during the ride, and closed her eyes, calming her racing heart and shifting her focus to the task at hand… or at least trying to.
Inuyasha looked over to the beautiful miko and marveled at her outfit. He had never seen her wear the halter top before, as with the pareo, which was now covering her toned legs. He smiled as he saw that it was a deep red, accenting her dark hair. He himself was getting over a rush of his own, it was so different than any other time she had ridden him, her skin was soft and warm and the soft fabric brushed against his skin, he had to fight to keep his mind clear. Usually when she rode him he was wearing both his haori and under kimono, and she was wearing several layers of her own, but now he was without a shirt and she only had the soft fabric of the swim suit, and even then her stomach touching his back and her hands on his bare shoulders, he could hardly control himself. As soon as he had set her on the tree he had to back up and sit down on his hands before he did something he might regret. He was surprised, also, at the comfort she had while wearing so few articles, he could not smell one bit of nervousness in her wonderful scent. He snapped out of his thoughts as he saw her ready her gun, adding a little more water and tightening the screw she looked up to Inuyasha with that same mischievous look she had earlier.
"So Inuyasha… got a plan?"
"Don't get hit?"
"Anything else?"
"Get them soaked?"
Kagome rolled her eyes, "No duh…aren't you the master planner." She added sarchastically.
"Keh."
"Inuyasha try to think for at least one moment… Sango is still a youkai taijya, both she and Miroku can sense you and Shippo and Miroku can sense my spiritual aura."
"Keh. I can sense Kilala, and equal both she and Sango's strength and you can locate Kilala and Miroku."
Kagome rubbed her temples, "and if they split up into little groups?"
"Keh. We can take em'."
"Inuyasha. This is going to take more then strength… considering our opponents it is going to take a little strategy."
Inuyasha and Kagome spent the next ten minutes discussing a plan, once decided upon Inuyasha went off to find Shippo and tell him his part. As Inuyasha left Kagome climbed higher to a well-concealed branch and settled herself for the long wait, "I hope this works…"
&&&&
Kilala landed just next to the stream near the village, the humans climbed off and took the trash bags full of water balloons off of her. With the weight lifted she shrunk to her miniature, (AN: adorable) size. Sango took the heavy bags and put them in the stream.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"Calm yourself Houshi-sama, I will explain-"
"YOUR GETTING RID OF THE WATER BALLOONS!"
"NO! I have a plan-"
"You gonna let them wash away and leave us defenseless?"
"Of course not Houshi-sama, the stream moves slow enough that the bags won't go anywhere and the water will cool them off further."
Miroku dwelled on that thought, realizing how cold the stream was, and how the cold shot he got in the back earlier gave him quite a shock, he smiled mercilessly, "Sango… I like the way you think."
"Why, thank you Houshi-sama… Kilala, Houshi, we still need a plan. We have a tough opponent, Inuyasha may not be the smartest on the block, but he knows what he is doing when it comes to a fight… not to mention he is more familiar with the 'weapons'."
"What about Kagome-sama?"
"She will probably stay with Inuyasha or stay hidden."
"You sure?"
"Considering her talent is archery, she will hang back and try to go for long distance attacks."
"You've really thought this out."
"So what do you have in mind?"
"I don't know, I have a couple of ideas but I don't exactly know what their plan is so I can't be sure."
"Maybe I can help." Everyone spun to see Shippo calmly walking out of the bushes, looking the mischievous kitsune he was born to be.
Sango eyed him suspiciously, "Why should we trust you Shippo-chan? You could easily squirt us all with that 'water gun' in your hands."
Shippo gave a dark look, "I want to get Inuyasha back for all the times he hits me."
Miroku went over and sat next to the kit, "I think he could be very helpful, as our… spy."
"I see your point Houshi-sama," turning to Shippo, "what do you know so far?"
"That they split up and have a plan, I don't know what yet."
"Well, go and find out their plan and meet us-" she leans to his ear and whispers a location.
Shippo gave a nod and sprinted straight to Goshinboku, scampering up the tree he came to sit directly in front of Kagome, she opened her eyes and smiled…
"Well Shippo-chan?"
"Yep, they took the bait!"
"Excellent!"
The kitsune beamed, Kagome wanted to make sure that he knew what was going on so she asked, "What exactly did Inuyasha tell you?"
The two went over the plan one final time and Kagome gave a false plan for the kit to tell Sango and the rest of the black team. Satisfied with her false plan she began to think, figuring that it would be best to have all the information…
"Now, what have they told you?"
"Nothin' yet, it took them forever just to trust me!"
"Well keep me up to date ok?"
"Sure."
"Ok Shippo-chan, see ya soon!"
&&&&
Sango got into position at the meeting place, as she began laying out the traps to be set she felt a youkai aura heading her direction. She leaned over and grabbing a couple of water balloons and readying them just in case. She relaxed as Shippo jumped through the brush and landed in front of her, she gave him a welcoming hug before asking, "What did you learn Shippo-chan?"
He revealed to her the false plan, as he explained it Sango's face lit up with delight, "Perfect! They will fall right into our trap!"
Sango revealed to her teammates only on a need to know basis, so she gave the kitsune the task of meeting up with Kilala and to give her some help with her assignment. Shippo gave a quick nod and raced off, not to Kilala, but to Goshinboku.
&&&&
"Whatcha got Shippo-chan?"
"Sango is STUBBORN!"
"Really now," Kagome's eyebrows went up in slight amusement at the kit's frustration.
"She is only telling us little bits and pieces."
"What's wrong with that?"
"No one on her entire team knows the entire plan except her! Like me, I am only given an 'assignment' and I'm suppose to help Kilala with her's."
"Well what is your assignment?"
Shippo eagerly leaned forward and told Kagome all about how he was told to go with Kilala and carry out his "important task". (Neiner! Neiner! I'm not telling you!)
&&&&
When the kitsune finished with Kagome he went to Kilala's hiding spot and called her out, with a welcoming "mew" she transforms and Shippo loads the water balloon carrier Sango made on her back.
"Phew! Being a double-spy is hard work!"
"Mew."
"Hey Kilala, you and me… we could be the deciding factor in this battle. I keep forgetting it's only a game!"
"Mew."
"What's that Kilala? Oh yeah… I know! I know more about everyone's plans than any other one player! Why do you ask?"
"Mew."
"Should you and me make a plan to get both teams?"
"Mew."
"You know… and get them all soaked?"
"Mew."
"That sounds like fun! Great idea Kilala!"
&&&&&&
So the plot is set in motion, there are several conspiracies arising, and Shippo is at the heart of it…
Having fun yet? You have no idea how much I've got planned for the gang! And the water fight is only half the fun! Wait til they go for a swim and a certain… oh I will wait to tell you, but I will say that the terms "wimpy wolf" and "mutt face" will be used later on…
Wait! That was for way in the future, everyone's got to make it through this water war first!
Updating soon!
