Parenthood by Ryuu no Me

Author's Note: Sorry for the wait, I had a basketball game. My team lost 35-6. Humiliating…

Summary: When a fight with Naraku goes wrong, Sango and Miroku find themselves stuck with little, kid versions of everyone! Now, it's up to them to find the cure, avoid Naraku, and protect the children. Did I mention that they have to turn the kids back to normal by a month's time, or they stay like that forever?

DISCLAIMER: If I owned Inuyasha, Kagura wouldn't have died.

WARNINGS: Not for Kikyo fans.

Chapter Two: Someone Just Kill Me


"No!" Inuyasha yelled, "No!"

Sango groaned. "Ugh! Someone quiet him!"

"Now, now, dearest Sango," Miroku lectured, "To deal with children, one must have patience and-"

Koga chose that moment to hurl a rock at Miroku, which hit with a satisfying clunking sound.

"WHY YOU LITTLE! I'M GONNA HURT YOU SO BAD!" Miroku roared and chased after the mischievous wolf demon while Sango laughed.

"What happened to patience, Houshi-sama?" Sango tried to control her laughter and failed.

Kagura looked at Miroku chasing Koga with curiosity, moving her head back and forth as they ran from one side of the clearing to the other. Even Inuyasha had stopped yelling to watch and jeer from the sidelines.

Sango brushed the tears of laughter away and noticed the crying Kagome.

"Don't worry, Kagome-kun, you'll be back to normal in no time!" Sango put on a cheery face. Slowly, Kagome's sobs subsided and turned into hiccups.

Kikyo looked at this whole scene with disgust and wrinkled her nose every time someone got too near her for her liking.

20 minutes later

"Okay…I…give…up…" Miroku gasped out, "You…rascal…you…win…this time…but…oh, forget it…"

Sango giggled, then noticed Inuyasha searching for something in the bushes.

"What are you looking for?" Sango asked, coming closer.

Inuyasha looked at her through eyes full of worry and sadness. "Sess! Sess!"

"Huh?"

"Sess!"

Sango stared. 'Whose Sess?' she wondered, then, it hit her. "SESSHOUMARU! Oh, gods, I completely forgot about him!"

"Sess!" Inuyasha wailed.

"Don't worry, we'll find him…eventually…" Sango started off into the woods, yelling over her shoulder at Miroku, "Here, you take care of everyone! I'm going to find Sesshoumaru with Inuyasha!"

"WHAT!" Miroku's jaw nearly hit the ground. "YOU DON'T MEAN TO SAY YOU'RE GOING TO LEAVE ME WITH ALL THESE MONSTERS!" Sango ignored him.

"Sess! Sess!" Inuyasha wailed.

"It's all right, hush," Sango told him, while beside herself in worry. 'If Naraku gets his hands on Sesshoumaru, there's no telling what, new terrifying abilities he'll gain!'

"Sess! Sess!"

"Sesshoumaru! Sesshoumaru!" Sango called, over and over again. The name echoed in the silence of the forest.

3 feet away

'What do they want? Who is this Sesshoumaru and Sess they speak of?' a little, white haired demon wondered as he followed the strange twosome, leaping from tree branch to tree branch. Absently, he stroked the fluffy, white pelt on his right shoulder.

With Sango and Inuyasha

"Sesshoumaru! Oh, come on!" Sango yelled out, desperately.

"Sess! Sess!" Inuyasha's voice cracked from yelling too much. Finding his brother nowhere to be seen, he started crying, the salty tears flowing fast.

Sango was quick to try to reassure him. "I'm sure your brother is close by! Inuyasha, please don't cry! I'm begging you!"

'Oh, just perfect! Everybody's turned into little kids, Naraku got away, Sesshoumaru's nowhere to be found, Inuyasha's crying, I'm lost in the woods, and Miroku's probably killed himself because of all the trouble the other children are causing him! This day couldn't get any worse!'

Just then, it did. Rain poured out of the sky, soaking the demon slayer and the half demon.

"OH, THIS IS JUST GREAT!"

With Miroku and the Other Kids

"Please, please won't you do just this one thing for me!" Miroku pleaded with Koga, who stood there, looking bored.

"Please, I'm begging you! I'll do anything!"

Koga seemed to think for a moment, then pointed to Kagome. "MINE!"

"Fine, whatever, just please, do this!" Miroku managed a relieved sigh. Koga walked up to Kikyo, picked her up, and deposited her on the ground beneath the tree she was in earlier.

Kikyo hissed and glared at the wolf demon. "BAD!" she screamed. Koga looked hurt.

Kagome, meanwhile, was happily picking flowers when the rain came. In minutes, everyone was soaked to the skin. In several more minutes, all the children began to cry.

'Oh, great. I'm wet, Sango's out looking for Sesshoumaru, I'm stuck with a bunch of kids, who are crying, and Naraku could be preparing to attack any minute. This day couldn't get any worse…maybe I'll just kill myself…'

With Sango and Inuyasha

"OW!" Inuyasha yelled, letting go of Sango's hand.

"What is it, now?" Sango asked. She bent down to examine the pup.

"What's this? The ground looks kind of like…QUICK SAND!" Sango made a frantic grab at Inuyasha and missed, instead landing in the sticky sand as well. She could feel herself, slowly, sinking.

"Oh, god," Sango muttered, "and I didn't even get to say goodbye to Kagome…"

Inuyasha stopped crying all of a sudden, and smiled.

'Huh? What could he possibly be smiling at in a time like this?' Sango glanced up.

Standing in front of her was a six year old. He had purple stripes on his face and a blue, crescent moon on his forehead. He carried a long, white pelt, slung over his right shoulder. He frowned down at them.

"Sess!" Inuyasha cried out, happily.


URGENT QUESTION: Alright, I've decided to take a vote for pairings. The main pairing is going to be Sango and Miroku, but do you want any other side pairs? I will tell you this now, I WILL NOT do ANY pairs with Kikyo in it.

Author's Note: I won't be updating for a while. I got a C in math and I need to bring that grade up…Read and review, please!
