I can't actually remember how I came up with this idea but here it is nonetheless. HUGE thanks to my friends Jenny and Spirel for all of their great ideas. Another big thanks to Jenny for all the editing as I am a bit iffy on some stuff. I love you both but something I might love even more is people who review. YAY! Well, enough of that. On with the story.
I also don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters…yet.
The Inebriated Mistake
The growing chirp of birds aroused Sango from a deep sleep. She stretched her arms above her head, which was throbbing, but saw another pair of arms wrapped around her waist. The arm beneath her was wrapped with light blue prayer beads and in reply to the sight, she screamed loud enough to rouse the entire village.
"Sango, stop screaming," Miroku complained. "My head is already killing me as it is." He seemed to be completely oblivious to the fact that they had slept in the same room.
Sango quickly forgot the pain in her own head and screamed, "Miroku, what are you doing in my room?"
Miroku peered around curiously but realized something. "Isn't this my room?"
Sango looked around the room nervously and realized that Miroku was actually right. "You lured me here somehow, didn't you monk?"
Miroku didn't give a chance to answer. As he was rubbing his head and repeating to Sango to keep it down, Inuyasha entered the room.
"Sango what's wro-" Inuyasha began to demand, his hand on his sword followed closely by Kagome, but when he saw Miroku on the floor, he trailed off and released his hand from the handle of the tetsusaiga.
"Sango, what's with the screaming?" Kagome casually asked her like nothing was wrong.
"Miroku tricked me into bed," Sango said, outraged that Kagome could not see the problem right away.
"How could he have tricked you when you did it willingly?" Inuyasha asked.
"What are you talking about?" she snapped.
Inuyasha looked a little taken aback; Sango never usually took harsh tones with him.
"Oh come on Sango," Kagome started. "Inuyasha and I saw both of you going into Miroku's room last night after your wedding. I always knew this would happen and I think it's taken way too long."
Sango just stared blankly at her two comrades for a minute. "WHAT!" Sango screamed again. "I'M MARRIED TO THAT LECHER?" Sango paused for a moment because a very awkward thought popped into her head. "Oh no," Sango turned to Miroku. "We didn't. Did we? Miroku, tell me we didn't."
Miroku's face lit up because a light bulb went off in his head (and he promptly forgot about his headache). "I don't know. But just to be sure…Kagome, Inuyasha, you two should go," Miroku demanded before he got an idea. "On second thought, I don't mind if Kagome stays."
Kagome horrifically screamed and transformed Inuyasha into a human shield.
"You keep your hands off Kagome," Inuyasha yelled at Miroku, shaking his fists as a threatening gesture.
Miroku felt an all too familiar slap on his cheek and rubbed it as he turned to face Sango. "I cannot believe you Miroku!" Sango exploded. "You invite Kagome to consummate our marriage which I don't even remember. How do I know this isn't some type of scheme to get me to sleep with you Miroku?"
"What's so bad about sleeping with Miroku? Mom, dad, and I used to sleep together all the time," Shippo commented, just entering the room.
"Shippo's right Sango. Why won't you sleep with me?" Miroku grinned sheepishly.
"Because…it's Miroku the lecher. It's icky."
"Why?" Shippo innocently questioned.
"Shippo, I think you're a bit young to be part of this conversation," Kagome said crouching down to his level.
"Yeah. So why don't you get going kid?" Inuyasha said after picking up Shippo by his tail. Shippo struggled and tried to fight back, but his efforts were futile.
"Don't be so rough Inuyasha," Kagome scolded.
"Don't worry Kagome. I won't hurt him…much." Inuyasha took Shippo outside and threw him a fair distance away. "Well, he should stay out there for a while," Inuyasha chuckled.
"Can we please get back to what's important? How did this happen?"
"Well Sango, do you remember anything from last night?" Kagome asked.
"Not a thing."
"Miroku?" Kagome asked, turning to him.
"No, but I wish I did," he said smirking.
"Well, should we tell them what happened?" Inuyasha turned to Kagome as if he was a child asking permission.
"Yeah. I suppose they deserve to know. Okay you two. Here's what happened," and Kagome began the story of the inebriated mistake.
The gang had settled down in the midst of the forest for a late lunch when a small but unusual sound unnerved Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha what is it?" Kagome asked him on account of his ears noticeably twitching and the fact hat he actually turned away from his meal (which he had been eating very noisily).
"Something's coming. Kagome, can you sense any jewel shards?" His voice had now taken on a more serious tone.
"No. Whatever's coming this way isn't being powered by the jewel," she said, her brow furrowed in concentration as she attempted to discern whether or not whatever was coming had even the tiniest shard of the jewel embedded deep within.
"Well, then it doesn't concern us," Inuyasha said and then returned to his meal.
"Maybe not, but I think it's worth it to at least check it out," Sango replied changing into her battle armour (from behind a few trees). "Something seems a bit…different."
The gang agreed and rose to leave but Inuyasha and Shippo stood for a moment staring longingly at their unfinished meal before advancing toward the nearby clearing so they could fight the demon a bit easier.
The group stoodin the clearing,staring at the head bobbing slowly atop the trees. A flame engulfed Kirara and her fangs glistened in the late afternoon sun while Sango held her hiraikotsu ready and stared off into the trees. Miroku braced his staff with a slight jingle, Shippo gripped his feet into the ground to better balance himself, Kagome readied an arrow into her bow and Inuyasha unsheathed the gleaming tetsusaiga from its protective shell. The demon cleared the last of the trees and turned its attention to the silver haired half-demon. It was a hyena demon with glowing red eyes and dark hair that appeared to have gone un-groomed for decades. With no hesitation, it swept its claw to destroy the group in one motion but to no avail. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and jumped out harm's way while Miroku, Sango, and Shippo grabbed hold of Kirara and joined Inuyasha and Kagome. A rustle in the bushes caught their attention and Sesshomeru emerged from the forest with Jaken gasping a bit for air, at his master's heels.
"Sesshomeru!" the entire group (except Kirara obviously) exclaimed in perfect unison.
"It's good to see you to Inuyasha," he said with serious sarcasm.
"Let me guess. You're here to kill me again right?" Inuyasha stated like it was part of ordinary conversation.
"Yes. And I won't fail this time with the help of my friend here." Sesshomeru inclined his head towards the new demonic beastie.
The demon attacked again and as Inuyasha leaped out of the way he yelled, "Afraid to do your own dirty work Sesshomeru?"
Sesshomeru ignored the comment. The gang offered their help but Inuyasha insisted that this was his fight. The fight didn't continue much longer than usual until Inuyasha took off the demon's head. The anger rose in Sesshomeru's eyes and he pulled out his sword.
"Lord Sesshy, be careful," Rin called, just entering the clearing.
"Sesshy? You've got to be kidding me." Inuyasha was doubled over on the ground from laughing so hard. "You actually let her call you Sesshy?" Inuyasha was now gasping for air. "That makes you sound like some big fluffy idiot." He hammered the ground with his fists. "I can't believe she calls you Sesshy."
By now the others had begun laughing as well though it was difficult to tell if their laughter was concerning the emasculation of Sesshomeru because of his new nickname or if it was concerning Inuyasha's continued hysterical laughter.
Sesshomeru's face turned a deep red. "MY NAME IS HARD FOR A LITTLE GIRL TO SAY! Rin, didn't I tell you to stay at camp?" he said, now both infuriated and thoroughly embarrassed.
"What? Too many syllables?" Inuyasha asked, finally getting a hold of himself.
"I would but I was worried about you and Master Jaken," Rin explained innocently.
"Rin, go back to camp," Sesshomeru ordered, the colour finally beginning to recede from his face.
"Yes, Lord Sesshomeru is right. This is no place for a little girl. You'll just get in the way." Jaken added, nodding his head repeatedly.
"Alright Lord Sesshy," she sadly agreed and a new wave of laughter hit the group.
Once Rin was out of sight, Sesshomeru charged at Inuyasha. Inuyasha noticed him just in time to avoid a deadly gash into his chest but not quickly enough to avoid a deep slash in his left arm.
The fight continued though Inuyasha was not fairing too well because his wound wouldn't allow him to hold onto his sword properly and the group could only look on helplessly. Naraku's poisonous insects were nearby, Sango and Kagome couldn't get clear shots, and, let's face it, Shippo couldn't do much of anything. It looked as though Inuyasha would be on the verge of losing until a young girl's scream echoed from the canyon.
Well, that's the first chappie. I thought I would leave it at a bit of a cliff hanger. Aren't I evil? Mwa ha ha. Don't worry though, I'll update soon. One more chapter and it's got lots of stupidhumor. Let's just say that Inuyasha is basically a baby-sitter. Keep an eye out for it but don't forget to review before leaving this window. Reviews equalhappy.
