Chapter 15

Lesson 13: Believe strange fantasies

AN: OMG I AM SO SO SO SO SRY! At my school, we've been having so much homework and either I haven't had enough time or I've been completely forgetting (I have to be honest with you, its true). I do hope you like this chappie. I have broken lots of promises, so at the end of my story, I WILL (I'll give you one little hint. Welcome back Izayoi) write a preview of the sequel (which will happen by the way because I have more then enough reviews). Thx, sry again and enjoy! Review if you want (because I do know some of you have been reading my stories and just not reviewing, ravenrockstheworld! Nah, just messing with ya Spock, and to others, yes we are friends and don't ask about the Spock nickname. There's no way to explain it without completely revealing what a dweeb she is. JOKING AGAIN! We do this all the time in our fanfics, we're like bffs so we don't actually hate each other) Okay, now enjoy for sure.

Everyone except for Inu-papa, Fiera and Suluko, were dragging themselves around. They ended up staying up past midnight. Shippo, Rin, and Sesshomaru actually were asleep. Rin and Shippo were on Ah Un while Sesshomaru was asleep soundly in his father's arms. His gigantic ears were flopping back and forth with every step he took. Kagome, who was half-asleep thought he was cute but was too tired to say anything. She couldn't take it any longer. She fell down into a bowing position in front of Bankotsu. Then, guess who showed up.

"Lord Inutaisho, I've come to bring you horrible- I never knew that the priestess in skimpy clothes worked for Bankotsu! I will inform all the villages that they are no friends to us!" The black dog demon said proudly, thinking he was doing a great deed for his Lord. Then, he noticed a ring Kagome wore on her finger from her time.

"THEY'RE ENGAGED! Well, that makes more sense now doesn't it?" He thought he was a genius.

"No, you've been misunderstanding every-" Inutaisho said as he suddenly saw the dog demon fall to the ground dead with foam at the mouth. That woke Inuyasha and the others up.

"He was a puppet from Kagura all along?" Kagome said, realizing that he had actually been nothing but a distraction from Naraku to help take away more precious time from them. Sesshomaru, who was slightly woken, simply looked at the body.

"I didn't know he had babies."

"What are you talking about?" Suluko looked confused at him.

"Babies, it's a disease."

"I'll have to agree with you there." Fiera said remembering her own son's difficulty in childhood.

Flashback

Fiera was becoming very stressed as her young son, Suluko, was not cooperating in the process of bathtime. He was completely naked, and attempting to run away.

"I don't need a bath! I don't need a bath!" He screamed over and over again. Fiera tried pushing him into the tub and ended up discovering a caterpillar that was apparently living in his hair. She had no idea where he could have been.

"You need a bath, so get in now!"

"NO!" He said as he pulled his unsuspecting mother into the tub with him. Fiera was furious. Suluko was laughing and giving his adorable toothy grin to her. She didn't care, which was definitely a first for her. Her favorite casual kimono was officially ruined.

"This is fun! After, can we play in the human farmer's cow field Mommy?" He said sincerely hoping that she would.

'Well, that explains how he got so dirty.' She thought to herself. This bath was definitely not worth it. She would have preferred him being dirty then what had happened. Then, he curled up to her. He was very warm and began to fall asleep.

"I love you Mommy." He said sleepily.

'Maybe it was all worth it after all.'

"Nope." She said aloud to that thought.

End flashback

"Do you mean rabies?" Kagome said, figuring that he had simply mispronounced it.

"Probably," he said as he fell back asleep again. Inuyasha rolled his eyes at his little-big brother. They quickly buried the dog demon's body, prayed, and left to a nearby village.

Village women stared perplexedly at the formidable fifteen. They would pretend not to stare when Jakotsu would finger at his sword's handle. Miroku was already reading women's palms.

"My oh my, you will have a very large amount of offspring. Perhaps I can help you with that." Miroku said perversely at the poor, blushing woman. Luckily for her, Miroku already was unconscious due to Sango's boomerang magically slamming him at the back of his head.

"We're never going to get anything done when everyone's constantly getting distracted like this." Fiera said, becoming fired up at her many companions.

"We may as well find something to do then." Inutaisho said, "Maybe leave Sesshomaru with Inuyasha and go to that deserted looking shack and have some-"

"I'M RIGHT HERE!" Suluko said disgusted at the two ex-spouses.

"Oh, alright then, if you really want to then here you go." Inutaisho said handing Suluko Sesshomaru.

"No, Inutaisho." Fiera said sternly disappointing her ex-husband. Suluko had already left with Sesshomaru.

"Suluko, what are they going to do?"

"Nothing you should concern yourself with."

"Well, I am, so pretty pretty please with a cherry on top tell me!" Suluko rolled his eyes and thought

'His own fault' and told him, without sugarcoating it at all. Sesshomaru went whiter then he already was, with a look of sheer disgust and horror on his face.

"Why would they do that! Wouldn't it hurt a lot!" Sesshomaru said yelling it loudly.

"Have fun talking to Mom about it!" He said surrendering quickly and handing him over to a confused Fiera.

Meanwhile with Rin and Jaken, who were hanging around a booth selling instruments

"Master Jaken, what's this?" Rin said pointing at a drum-like instrument.

"That is a tsutsumi." Rin began pointing at many instruments, Jaken answering each one correctly. Rin ran to a make-up and hair supplies booth, doing the same thing that she had done with the instruments. Once again, he answered them all correctly.

"Inutaisho and Inuyasha are right."

"Right about what?" Jaken said confused.

"You are gay." She responded simply.

"I AM-" He was cut off by the merchant, who was a male wearing a kimono and makeup.

"You are, huh?" He said in a deep, flirting voice. Jaken couldn't tell if he was human of demon. He was wearing to much perfume. But that didn't matter to him anymore.

"NO I'M NOT! NO I'M NOT!" Jaken ran away screaming that continuously.

"Wait for me, Master Jaken!" Rin said running after him. She was soon distracted by an old woman telling a story to many children gathering around her. She was talking about harpies.

"They say, if you are given a medallion by one, they will grant you one wish when you least expect it. They do it out of gratitude." Rin thought that was familiar with something from before.

To Sesshomaru, Shippo, Inuyasha and Miroku who were by a cliff

Sesshomaru and Shippo passed their new ball back and forth happily. Sesshomaru had thrown the ball backwards more then once attempting to throw it hard and impress his big-little brother. Shippo was beginning to wish he had played with Rin.

"Can I play with you too?" It was Toki. Shippo knew she could probably throw.

"Sure, you get the ball!" Shippo said, eager to get the ball.

"Go far!" Toki said throwing it longer then she should have.

"Oops, sorry, I'll go get it!"

"I can- I can get it!" Sesshomaru said running as fast as his little legs could carry him (which wasn't very fast). Then, it happened. He tripped over the ball, over the cliff. Everyone was too surprised to do anything, except for Toki who covered her eyes. There was no way anyone could save him without killing themselves. But then, Sesshomaru came back up, being held by a very familiar harpy.

"Are you alright?" It asked in a low, kind voice.

"Yep yep yep!" Sesshomaru said in an enthusiastic voice.

"Do you want to play with us?" He said excitedly. It was his way of saying thank you to him. Everyone came quickly after, horrified about what had happened. All except for Rin, who looked amazed. Perhaps it was true. She told everyone about her story and Inutaisho took the medallion out of his armor.

Kagome had decided to make lunch while everyone was gawking at the medallion that had a third of it burning off. She had bought some new supplies and wanted to try some of the noodles she had bought. She finished them quickly and they smelled delicious.

"Oh no, they're all ruined now." Kagome said sadly at the expensive noodle that lay at her feet.

"No big deal." Inutaisho said simply, as he took some chopsticks out of his armor. Sesshomaru was complaining about how his chopsticks were still with his kimono meant for his regular big body. The harpy left, well thanked. Everyone was settled in and eating roasted roots, except for Inutaisho who was eating the noodles and refused to share with even his own young son. Everyone was at ease, except for Jaken who was worried that the cross-dressing man might show up at any moment. Everything was perfect until…

"Ah, this is nice. These roots are well done today. Nice cooking Jaken!" Kagome said complementary to him. Inutaisho and Inuyasha grimaced at that and Jaken felt embarrassed.

"Give me some too!" Everyone gasped. It was a 5-year old Naraku/Onigumo sitting among them.
