Lesson 3: Put up with rumors

Ever since the Naraku incident, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were inseparable. Either they were walking right next to each other or the usual one, Sesshomaru would be on Inuyasha's shoulders.

It was just an ordinary day, nothing really going on. It was sunny out and they were in a beautiful forest with plenty of trees and flowers.

"Why can't you get rid of that contraption Kagome! It's driving us insane!" Inuyasha yelled at her because it popped again. It always made Shippo jump on Inuyasha's head and that caused trouble for Sesshomaru up there too.

"For the last time I won't! My mom bought it for me so I'm not going to waste it because of some self-centered jerk!"

"Look who's talking! It only causes trouble for us and you're keeping it when it slows us all down and Sesshomaru's time limit is running out!"

"Inuyasha, SIT!"

Inuyasha went crashing to the ground. Sesshomaru and Shippo went down with him. They were in a huge knot of limbs and couldn't get up.

"We should just let Inuyasha stay there. He'll catch up." Kagome said heartlessly.

"Yes, but what about Sesshomaru and Shippo?" Sango said in a very questioning voice.

"We'll let Shippo up," Kagome said unknotting him and succeeding "but Sesshomaru can stay with his precious brother if he wants." Kagome was in her heartless mad mood. Sesshomaru did the only thing any cute little six year old would do. He did a puppy face.

"Aaawww, that's so cute. I know it's mean but I kind of want to deep him there so that he'll keep doing it." Kagome said in her cutesy voice.

"Why are you so heartless today?" Sesshomaru pleaded.

"Who says I'm heartless?" Kagome shot back.

Inutaisho 'accidentally' shoved her over with his shoulder and knocked her to the ground and helped his two sons up.

"Hey Dad, you're pretty understanding about the whole-"

"Kotodama rosary thing? Your mother had on of those on me. She always said 'beg' though. I went down so many times, even if she was just in a ad mood she'd beg me. The worst was when she did it by accident though."

"How did she do it by accident?"

"Just a couple of hints. The bed, 'beg me' and me crashing down on her at full speed breaking the bed. Does that tell you enough?"

"Yeah, poor Mom."

"She's the one who always begged me for no apparent reason and you feel sorry for her?" Inutaisho was getting mad.

"No, she had it coming big time." Inuyasha said nervously.

"Good, now where are we going?"

"Trying to find Naraku, he headed in that direction last time we saw him." Sango pointed towards the North. Inutaisho nodded and started a conversation with Sango. They were getting along great. Sadly that wasn't the case with Inutaisho and Miroku.

Miroku was getting jealous of Inutaisho because it seemed like he was getting farther with Sango then he was. Miroku wanted to stop that. Perhaps a little prank would work.

Sango and Inutaisho were up ahead so Miroku went past them behind some trees and went to a small place that looked like a circle sort of. He stabbed a little hole in the 2 trees that were sort of like a gate to it and stuck his staff into them.

"So, what was Inuyasha's mother like? He never tells me anything about her"

"She was beautiful, kind hearted and evil at the same time." Sango and Inutaisho both laughed at that. They were having a great time until they fell into Miroku's trap. Inutaisho went crashing right on top of poor Sango. He was huge compared to her so she was being crushed. Just as Inutaisho was getting up, a familiar dog demon voice came up from the bushes and said

"Lord Inutaisho, there you are! I heard that your son is missing and WO SORRY!"

Inutaisho was confused by the 'WO SORRY' and then he realized what it looked like.

"No, no, no, it's not what it-"

"Man so many things are going on in the western lands right now. I'll tell everyone there's a new lady of the West for you. Don't worry yourself with it!"

"NO!" Inutaisho and Sango screamed at the same time, but the stupid black dog demon didn't hear them because it was running at full speed already. They had another rumor on their hands, maybe even worse. Miroku knew he was dead. He went to grab his staff silently hoping that neither of them would hear him.

"Where do you think you're going, monk?" Inutaisho said in a mad voice. Everyone saw everything that happened and felt sorry for Inutaisho and Sango. This rumor was going to get them in serious trouble for later.

"Uh, well, I dropped my holy staff. I was just picking it up." Miroku said in a nervous voice, followed by a nervous laugh. He got his staff and did the smartest thing to do. Run for his life at full speed. Sadly for him he didn't get far because Inutaisho's eyes were glowing red and he was a dog demon so he ran at full speed at Miroku and caught him in 10 seconds flat. Inutaisho had Miroku in a head-lock and Miroku's feet weren't even touching the ground. He couldn't breathe but he knew it was coming. Miroku bit Inutaisho as hard as he could and everyone was cheering others on. Some saying

"GO FATHER!" or "GO DAD" or "BEAT THE MONK SO BAD THAT HE CAN'T GROPE ANYONE FOR THREE DAYS" or "COME ON MIROKU, YOU CAN GET YOURSELF OUT OF THIS ONE!" and "I BET MY MONEY ON YOU MIROKU! YOU CAN DO IT!"

Miroku then kicked Inutaisho as hard as he could in 'the males area' and Inutaisho bashed him into a tree. Everyone except them were laughing their heads off. They decided to stop when Miroku became unconscious so Inutaisho was the winner!

It was soon nightfall and they had wasted a day of Sesshomaru's time limit. Inuyasha felt kind of bad and Sesshomaru was writing in his guide book for half-breeds. Maybe he would get it published he thought.

It was going to be a long journey that was for sure.

"Has the monk come to yet?" Inutaisho asked curiously.

"Nope, still unconscious!" Sango said in a cheery funny voice.

"Has the rumor spread around?"

"All three of Sesshomaru being missing and being his own son and me and you ruling the western lands together."

Inutaisho sighed and so did Sango and Sesshomaru. There were so many rumors and they weren't sure whether they could handle anymore. Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo and probably Miroku were happy they didn't have to worry about rumors yet. Were they going to get away with no more rumors?
