Chapter 6: A Witch's Spell
Inuyasha woke up to the bluest sky he had ever seen. He rolled over and looked at Kagome and Shippo sleeping beside him. He smiled and walked over to Kagome's bag and pulled out some ramen and started cooking it for everyone to have for breakfast. Kagome opened her eyes and got up slowly making sure not to wake Shippo. She looked around the hut and saw Miroku and Sango still sleeping on the other side of the hut. Miroku grabbed Sango and she slapped him in their sleep. Kagome laughed and Inuyasha looked up noticing that she was awake.
"When did you get up?"
"A couple minutes ago. What are you cooking?"
"Ramen"
Kagome laughed again and Shippo rolled over in his sleep.
"Is that all you know how to make?"
"No I can make other stuff too"
"Like what?"
"Medicine"
"That doesn't count"
"Oh well then," he thinks for a second, "Umm, nope I can't cook anything else then"
Kagome smiled then laughed as Inuyasha frowned at Miroku as he grabbed Sango again in his sleep.
"Stupid monk. He's even a pervert in his sleep."
Kagome covered her mouth still laughing so she wouldn't wake the others. 'Too late' she thought
Shippo sat up and stretched "Is it morning already?" he yawned
Sango woke up with Miroku's wandering hand resting on her bottom. She slapped him and he woke up startled "Wha- what happened? Are we being attacked by a demon?"
"No you pervert! You were touching my butt when you were sleeping!"
"See I told you he's a pervert when he sleeps." Inuyasha said to Sango, "and you thought he stops when he falls asleep." He smirked
Miroku's hand was inching towards Sango again. He looked down at his hand and smacked it with his other one to control himself.
Inuyasha grinned. He had seen Miroku slap himself. "Having problems monk?" he asked gesturing towards Miroku's hand.
Miroku blushed and tried to change the subject "What's burning?"
"Oh no!" Inuyasha ran back over to the pot and saw that the noodles were black. He growled sadly and threw them out. "Aww they're ruined!" he moaned
Everyone started laughing except Inuyasha who was deeply upset about the noodles.
"This isn't a laughing matter you guys!" Inuyasha said which just made everyone laugh harder.
o0o0o0o0o
A few hours later the group set out to go and find some more jewel shards.
Shippo was sitting on Kagome's shoulder, Kilala was following Sango, Miroku was walking behind Sango staring at her butt, and Inuyasha and Kagome were walking in front of Sango.
"Do you sense any jewel shards Kagome?" Sango asked her best friend
"Not yet" she replied
Miroku suddenly noticed a beautiful woman walking in the forest that was on both sides of them.
"I'll be right back guys" he called to the group, but they weren't listening. He shrugged and walked off the path towards the woman.
When he got up to her she smiled at him and he asked the same question that he had asked countless other women before her. "Will you bear my children?"
The woman laughed and mumbled some quick words that Miroku couldn't understand then she leaned forward and gave him a kiss.
She turned and slowly walked away from him. "by the way miss what's your name?" Miroku called after her.
She turned and smiled again. "Yasuko" she called to him
"Lovely miss, I love that name, and thanks to you, I'll never be the same." He said and walked back to the path where the others were.
"Where were you? And what did you go do?" Inuyasha asked unaware that he had rhymed.
"Don't yell at me yet. You'll never believe this girl I just met." Miroku replied
"Did you ask her to bear your children too? Oh my god the things you do." Sango sighed
"Her name was Yasuko and she kissed me." he suddenly saw her walk past them, "there she goes now don't you see?"
Sango gasped "Miroku that girl is a witch! She just floated across that ditch!"
Kagome stopped suddenly and everyone else stopped too. "Don't you all hear what you've said this whole time? We've all been speaking this conversation in a rhyme!"
The others all gasped.
"What are we going to do about it? Act like little kids and have a fit?" Inuyasha said
"We're all under a spell. Can't you guys tell?" Sango asked
"Well I don't like all this rhyming stuff. Its way to romantic and will lead to fluff." Inuyasha moaned.
"Then let's go to Kaede's hut. And Miroku you better let go of my butt!" Sango said then slapped Miroku yet again.
"I'm sorry dear Sango but don't you know? My hand truly has a mind of its own!"
The group walked in the direction of Kaede's hut and got there shortly before dark. Kaede was surprised to see them because she thought they were going to look for more jewel shards.
"What brings ye back here so soon?" she asked the group as she let them in her hut.
"We can't stop speaking in rhyme! It's been like this now for quiet a long time!" Inuyasha yelled
"Inuyasha you don't have to yell! Kaede we think we're under a spell." Kagome quickly explained
"Ah yes I see. Do ye know who might have done this to you?"
"Yasuko was her name. But all she wanted was to cause pain." Miroku sighed
"Yasuko? I see she's up to her old parlor tricks again." Kaede said
"Are we going to be like this for long? Because it sounds like we're in the middle of a song." Shippo said
"Its simple to cure this spell" Kaede said, "all ye have to do is tell a secret you've never told anyone before and you will stop speaking in rhyme."
Inuyasha's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
"And don't worry, when your saying your secret the spell is wearing off so you wont have to say that in a rhyme." Kaede told Inuyasha thinking that was why he looked so upset.
He gulped and looked around at the others. They were all thinking of a secret that they had never told anyone before. They were all concentrating on something inside each of their own heads.
Miroku looked around and decided to go first. He cleared his throat. "My secret is that, that," he looked at Sango and the others, "That I have never kissed someone before that witch." He finished quickly and looked away from everyone else.
They all stared at him for a minute. "What?" he asked "I just never wanted to kiss anyone after I met Sango."
Sango blushed then decided to tell her secret so she could talk to Miroku outside without having to rhyme. "My secret is that I used to bite my toe nails." She giggled
"Eww Sango that's gross! But you must have been very flexible to be able to reach your toes." Miroku said
"Pervert." Sango replied. Miroku only smiled lost in his fantasy.
Kagome laughed "My secret is that I used to steal other kids blankets during nap time and build forts instead of sleeping when I was in kindergarten."
Everyone laughed at her and she smiled sheepishly.
"My secret is that sometimes I see my dad when I'm walking with you guys but it always is just a shadow." Shippo said quickly
"Inuyasha its your turn" Kagome said
"Yeah, yeah I know give me a minute my minds running slow." He barked at her (not literally)
"You're the only one who is stuck rhyming still." Kagome laughed
"What are you slow? I already told you that I know!" Inuyasha exclaimed using the same rhyme he used before.
"Ok hurry up and say your secret so you don't have to rhyme anymore." Kagome said
"My secret is that I don't uh, love, uh, Kikyo anymore." Inuyasha said quietly
Kagome's eyes went huge and she stared at Inuyasha for a long time. He noticed her staring and growled softly at her.
"Miroku can I talk to you outside?" Sango asked him.
"Of course lady Sango whatever you wish." He replied and followed her outside
As soon as they were out of ear shot Sango turned and faced Miroku. "I have something I want to ask you Miroku."
He looked at her face and saw she was serious. 'No joking around' he told himself. "Yes Sango what is it?" he asked
"Do you love me?"
His jaw dropped. "I uh, I, I, uh…" this was not what he had expected to hear her ask.
"Yes or no?" Sango asked quietly looking at anything but the monk that was standing in front of her.
He looked at the ground. It was suddenly very interesting to look at the ground.
Sango asked again "Yes or no?"
He looked up at her "What I am about to say is completely true and honest." He said
To be continued
Hahaha sorry but I had too! Oh its such a cliff hanger lol sorry you guys but your just going to have to wait a little longer because I have a feeling Sango and Miroku are going to be interrupted… please review and tell me what you think so far and what should happen. Should Sango and Miroku be interrupted? Or should they be able to express themselves to each other? Or should I go back to Inuyasha and Kagome and see what they are up to? I WILL eventually get to Miroku telling Sango something very important. No worries cuz I wont forget about them! Plz review and tell me if you like it so far!
