The Sorting Hat Meets IY
A bunch of little groups were scattered across a cave with starry sky painted on the ceiling. There was a hooded figure holding an odd hat in their hands in front of them, blocking their way out of the cave.
"The only way you can go back to where you were is to accept the Sorting Hat's judgment," said the figure.
"Why do you think that this Sesshomaru cares for other beings' judgment?" asked the daiyoukai standing tall in front of his group.
"Listen, I am trapped here too, so just get at it, so we can all go home, okay?" asked the figure in less booming and more natural and tired voice.
"Let's be done with this!" Inuyasha sat on a simple stool and scowled when an old, funny-smelling hat was put on his head, over his ears.
"Gryffindor!" called the hat. "You are a stubborn, hot-headed dude, who is also brave."
"Keh, whatever." Inuyasha stood up, threw the hat at the hooded figure and went over a line drew between the stool and the cave entrance. He didn't leave, but stopped just behind the line waiting for his friends.
Kagome went next, smiling at the figure, who adjusted their hood and sighed as they put the hat on the girl's head.
"Hufflepuff," the hat decided. "You are hard-working and kind."
"Oi! She's with me, so she ain't sorted to that Huffy-puffy thing!"
"Oh, be quiet," Kagome patted the hanyou on the shoulder as soon as she stood beside him. "It's just a silly, meaningless game. Shippou... Oh."
"I, Naraku, will not be forced to wait for everyone else to be sorted!" Naraku glared at the miko in defiance. "Sort me, you inferior head adornment!"
"Ravenclaw! Because you're focused on self-improving and trying to outsmart your opponents."
"Because he's too weak to just win a fair fight." Inuyasha muttered. Naraku raised his nose in the air and went out of the cave, not waiting for his incarnations, who looked like they didn't mind that at all. Kagura winked at Sesshomaru, who pretended not to notice, but his mokomoko fluffed out a bit.
"Now me!" Shippou jumped on top of the stool. The hooded figure put the hat on his head with an invisible smile of relief.
"Hufflepuff, because you are nice and helpful."
"What? He gets to be sorted with Kagome?!" Inuyasha glared at the giggling kitsune hiding in Kagome's embrace. Meanwhile Sango took a seat on the stool and got sorted to Gryffindor, which obviously made the hanyou less annoyed. At least some of his friends were sorted to the same group he did
"This Sesshomaru will take this turn," the daiyoukai approached the stool.
"Fine by me," said the hooded figure and glanced to Miroku, who had been itching to get sorted after Sango, but now just nodded in agreement. There was no use arguing over it.
"Slytherin! Because you're an ambitious individual with strong sense of tradition," said the hat as soon as it rested on top of his fabulous hair.
"Go figure," commented the hanyou.
"Be silent, half-breed," Sesshomaru stood as far from his brother as possible, deciding to wait for his group. "Rin, come."
"Yes, my lord!" Rin jumped to the stool and smiled widely at the hooded figure when they put the hat on her.
"Hufflepuff!" declared the hat. When everyone was busy cheering the girl Hakudoushi, Kanna, Byakuya and Kagura sneaked to the stool and got sorted to Ravenclaw. Kagura waved at everyone as they left the cave, following after Sesshomaru and Rin. Finally Miroku sat on the seat.
"Ravenclaw!" called the hat. "For you always try to improve yourself and are pretty wise."
"That's good, I guess?" Miroku asked the hooded figure, who shrugged.
"Every house has its flaws and good features," they said.
"Come over here, monk, we have places to go!" Inuyasha called.
"Oh, don't be grumpy, it was fun.," Kagome giggled and pulled the lost in thought monk beyond the line. Meanwhile Kouga rushed forward and got sorted to Gryffindor, to his utter unhappiness. It only got worse when his faithful friends landed in Hufflepuff. Ayame went after them, getting sorted to Slytherin. Kikyou became Ravenclaw while everyone was trying to usher the unhappy Kouga out of the cave, because he wanted to pick a fight with the hat over being sorted to a different group than his pack and put in the same Inuyasha was in. Kaede shook her head at the youkai antics and thanked the hat for being sorted to the same group her sister was in, then they went out of the cave together, followed by three wolves dragging the struggling Kouga out of the cave. Behind them went the hooded figure, holding the hat in their hands.
And it was when Jaken finally realized that he was the last one left in the cave.
"Hey! Don't leave me there!" he cried and bounced off of the barrier of the magical line.
It took two days for Rin to convince Lord Sesshomaru to go back and get him.
