Chapter 2: Home Bound

Inuyasha stood at the edge of the clearing waiting for his companion to finish relieving himself somewhere within the forest. 'What a waste of a trip! I didn't even get to use Tetsusaiga,' he thought glacing skyward.

He could tell by the position of the sun that it was well past midday. "Oi, Monk hurry it up will you?" the hanyou shouted impatiently.

Appearing at the hanyou's side, Miroku straightened his attire and inquired, "What's the hurry my friend?"

Looking at his companion from the corner of his eye, he replied, "Feh, I would just like to get back to the village 'today', if it's alright with you!"

"Oh, I see…you're missing someone, are you not?" Not waiting for a reply, because he knew he probably wasn't going to get one, he continued, "I'm sure your lady misses you too Inuyasha." With that said the monk began to walk away heading in the direction of the village.

"So how much longer do you think we have?" the Houshi asked, with a glance over his shoulder.

Talking a deep breath in order to still his irritation, Inuyasha replied, "I don't know, maybe a few hours or so. If we didn't have to stop at that other village, because 'you' couldn't leave a damsel in distress, we'd be home by now!"

Smirking Miroku replied, "Well what would you have had me do? Just leave her there, for the love of Kami, she had a sprained ankle." '...and a firm bottom', he thought with an even brighter smile.

"Feh, don't act like I didn't see you rubbing her ass Monk," Inuyasha stated as he passed his friend giving him a glare that would have stripped the bark off of the sacred tree. "Sango is going to kill you one of these days, and please don't look to me for help. Because you won't find any."

Miroku stopped dead in his tracks, his face riddled with guilt and fear. Stuttering, he pleaded, "Y...you're n...not going to tell her are?"

"Feh," was Inuyasha's only response as he kept his pace, determined to get home before the sun set.

"You know Inuyasha, Sango and I are not married. Yes, I do love her and would like to some day marry her, but today is not that day, my friend. Anyway, sometimes she treats me as if I'm no better than a womanizing pervert, and that hurts."

"Well Monk what do you want me to say? You sure do act like a womanizing pervert to me." Taking in the scenery he continued, "You're always spying on her when she's bathing, you grab her ass every chance you get, and you grab other women's asses in front of her. Not to mention you ask every woman with a hole to bear your child, so what is she suppose to think about you?"

Blushing, he replied, "I do not! You guys have never understood me. I just happen to appreciate the gifts that Kami has given women, and my dear sweet Sango seems to have been overly blessed, wouldn't you agree?"

"If you say so."

"Of course you wouldn't answer that, because you only have eyes for the lovely Kagome, she is quite something isn't she?"

"Feh," was his reply. Turning his head so that his companion could not see, he smirked with pride. 'Yeah, Kagome is well stacked, isn't she?'

Miroku smiled to himself. 'Inuyasha sure is in a talkative mood today perhaps I can get him to make a few confessions.' "So, what are you going to do?"

"About what?"

"Kagome-sama"

"Just what in the hell are you getting at, Monk?"

Making sure to step out of arms reach of the hanyou, Miroku continued, "Well you've built her a house, you don't let any male, it doesn't matter who he is, get within 3 feet of her, and Kami forbid Kouga comes around, you clearly loose your mind. So I ask you again, Inuyasha, what are you going to do?"

The last words out of the Monk's mouth brought the hanyou's movement to a screeching halt. "What was I suppose to do? She's always here! The wench needed some place to keep her things, and she couldn't very well continue to stay with the hag! Besides, it's not her house it's mine! She can leave whenever she fucking feels like it!" Knowing he had just told a bold faced lie, he continued, "And don't you ever bring that mangy wolf's name up around me! I'll gut him like a pig if he comes near Kagome, do you hear me?"

"See what I mean?" the Monk replied, as he continued walking feeling proud of himself for having proven his point. "You would think that Kouga was right here with us, by the way you're acting."

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes, debating with himself whether he would get into that much trouble if he maimed him. "Feh, say what you like, at least Kagome knows I respect her, which is more than I can say for Sango."

Determined not to let Miroku get under his skin, which was something that the lech was getting pretty good at lately, Inuyasha picked up his pace just a little to put more distance between the two of them.

"You know Inuyasha, when you build a house for a woman, you're promising yourself to that woman and only that woman." Staring off in the distance he continued, "So how can you build Kagome-sama a house, when you're not done with Kikyo?"

No response fell from the hanyou's lips.

"Inuyasha?"

Still no response could be heard.

Miroku looked to his side but there was no Inuyasha. He then stopped and turned completely around to find a very disgruntle hanyou seething. His eyes were hidden under his ragged bangs, but Miroku could clearly tell that he was not in a playful mood. The aura erupting off the Hanyou was enough to set the Monk in motion. He immediately started walking backwards as fast as he could waving his hands in front of his face as if that would keep his friend at bay, while silently trying to come up with something that could pacify the hanyou until they at least reached the village.

"Inuyasha, I mean really…are you upset? I surely didn't mean to offend you! I only wanted to know…well since we haven't seen Kikyo in a while…well, well never mind…it's none of my business, right? …none of my business?" He knew what he just said didn't make any sense, but right now he didn't care. He just didn't want to be on the bad side of a pissed off hanyou whose bad side could rival any full demon on their best day.

Inuyasha began to walk towards the monk, his head still hanging low, his breathing a little heavier than before. As he advanced he could feel Miroku stiffen, he could feel the fear, and the uncertainty. When he came with in swinging distance, he lifted his head cocking it to the side and hissed, "What Monk, did you think I was going to sharpen my claws on you? I should maim your fucking ass for sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong. However, if you shut up now I'll forgive and forget." That being said he walked around his trembling friend more determined now than he was before to ust get home.

"My dear friend…my apologies…surely you know that I wasn't trying to stick my nose into your affairs. I simple care for both yours and Lady Kagome's well being. I know how much she cares for you, I would just hate for her to be hurt is all, surely you can understand that?" Miroku said as he ran to catch up with the still disgruntle hanyou.

"Let me worry about Kagome," Inuyasha whispered just loud enough for the Houshi to hear.

He really didn't know why he was so upset with the monk; he had simply spoken the truth. 'I know he's right. I can't promise myself to Kagome until I'm sure that Kikyo is going to leave this world, or will be at peace with my decision. That's why I tell Kagome it's my house, not hers so that she doesn't get any ideas. I do know one thing for certain, there's no way I'm going to hell with Kikyo, so she can stick that thought…Feh!'

The Monk was still babbling about something, but Inuyasha didn't care because he had heard enough for one day. All he wanted to do was get to Kagome. 'Sneaky wench probably went through the well,' he thought as they continued down the path to the only place he'd ever been able to call home. He smiled then remembered he wasn't alone. 'Fucking Bouzu!'

"Inuyasha, can I ask you a question?"

"Pfft, can I stop you?"

"Well I just wanted to know…have you and…Kagome-sama…I mean have you ever…" Miroku scratched his head a chuckled nervously. 'Damn how do I ask this with out loosing a valuable body part?' "Okay, this is friend to friend, you know, man to man…"

"Just what in the hell are you trying to ask me?"

"Well, you know I see you as one of my very best friends, so I would think that we could talk about anything, right?"

"'You' can talk about anything," Inuyasha stated, making sure to add emphasize's the word 'you'.

"I'll take that as a 'yes'." Taking a deep breath, the monk continued, "Inuyasha, have you ever don it?" He just couldn't understand for the life of him why he could not just shut up and let it go. Maybe it was the curiosity of the Priesthood, his thirst for knowledge, or maybe he really was nosey, which ever it was, he didn't care he had been curious about this for a while.

Throwing the lech a disbelieving side-glance over his shoulder, Inuyasha asked, "Done what?"

"You know."

Stopping, he turned to face him. The pissed off hanyou knew what Miroku was asking him but decided that he would play along. "I know what, Bouzu?"

Miroku came to a stop in front the hanyou. Placing his staff in between the two of them as if it would protect him from the wrath that he knew would more than likely follow once all was said and done, he stated, "Have you ever done it…you know…gone all the…way…you know?"

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at him and made a step forward, but stopped. His back immediately stiffened, and he sniffed. 'Fuck,' he growled.

"What is it?" the Monk inquired.

Inuyasha hissed, "Kouga!"

Miroku immediately stepped back knowing what was coming, being that Kagome wasn't here to stop them. So he figured he'd just make himself comfortable because this would more than likely take a while. "Well I'll be over here under this tree. Wake me if you need me." he said with a smirk, knowing he would never doze off and leave Inuyasha to do battle alone.

"Feh," was all the hanyou said as he pulled Tetsusaiga from its sheath and prepared to do battle.

"I knew I smelled your stench!" Kouga yelled as he came to halt in front of Inuyasha.

"What the Fuck do you want?" Inuyasha growled back, bringing his fang to rest pointed at the wolf chest.

"Where's my woman half-breed?" Kouga inquired with a smirk.

"Your woman?" Switching his sword to the other hand he continued, " You just keep begging me to shove Tetsusaiga up your ass, don't you? Well Kagome ain't here to stop me this time!"

"Bring it, if you think you can!" Was the demon's reply as he jumped back away from Inuyasha.

Miroku sat under a near by tree with his staff laid comfortably across is legs and watched as the two leaped at one another colliding in mid air and sending both flying backwards.

Inuyasha jumped at Kouga again yelling, "You son of a bitch!"

The wolf replied as he dodged to the left, "Wouldn't that be you? Oh, I forgot your mother was a weak human!" As he came back around and landed a punch to Inuyasha's jaw sending him flying into the ground.

Inuyasha jumped back to his feet growling as he wiped a drop of blood from the side of his mouth with his free hand. "Pathetic wolf, is that all you've got?" He then flew at Kouga once more, this time he caught him off guard with a knee to his stomach. He continued to charge at the wolf before he could get his bearing and landed a kick to his face, which sent him hurling into a tree. "Keh, you're pretty slow today, wolf breath!"

Kouga pulled himself off the forest floor and stalked towards Inuyasha, "I'm gonna take your life, then I'm going to take Kagome!" he yelled as he flew at the hanyou landing several kicks to his chest and stomach and a final kick to the back of his head which sent him flying face first into the ground.

Inuyasha tried to block the kicks but it appeared that his opponent was moving at the speed of light. Before he realized what was happening, he was face first in the dirt. 'Damn it all!' he thought, trying to figure out what in the hell just happened. He could feel the wolf approaching, so he tightened his grip on Tetsusaiga.

"You still breathing dog shit," Kouga stated as he stalked up to Inuyasha. He came to stop directly over the half demons body with a leg positioned on either side of the hanyou's waist.

Inuyasha smirked to himself, as he rolled over so that he was on his back. This happened so fast the wolf didn't have time to react. "You were saying?"

Kouga looked down and froze. Inuyasha had his sword positioned directly between his legs, mere inches from his balls. He started to stutter, "I...Inu...yasha"

"K…Kou...ga", Inuyasha replied teasingly, now toying with full demon since he knew that if he wanted to he could split him in two with little to no effort. Finally, he had Kouga right where he wanted him. "If I move Tetsusaiga up this way," Inuyasha said as he slowly lifted his fang to rest on skin of Kouga's sacks, "Then I wouldn't have to worry about you getting between me and Kagome."

The wolf prince stiffened, refusing to speak or move, too afraid that one wrong move would cost him his manhood, even his life.

"Inuyasha, I think that's enough don't you? Clearly you've won!" Miroku yelled as he ran over to the two, thinking to himself, 'Damn'.

"It's not about winning! This wimp has gotten in between me and Kagome for the last time!"

Kouga still did not move. His eyes were closed and he seemed to be praying.

"Surely you've proven your point…you must not do this to him, it's rather humiliating," the monk said as he knelt down next to Inuyasha trying to get a better look at just where the sword was resting. "Uhm, Kouga if I were you I wouldn't even breath," Miroku said as tried to hide the smile on his face. "Just tell Inuyasha he's won," he said as he stared harder at the predicament the wolf had gotten himself into.

"Feh, as if that'll save him, I already know that I've won," the gloating hanyou yelled.

"Inuyasha this is not honourable," Miroku said in a stern voice. "What youkai would want to die in this fashion?"

"Do I actually look like I give a good god damn how a youkai would or would not want to die? I'm a half-breed, remember? And this bastard never let me forget that!" Inuyasha was quiet for a moment then broke out into gut wrenching laughter, "Death by penis gutting! That has a ring to it, wouldn't you say, Kouga?" he asked between bouts of laughter.

The wolf prince's only reply was a drop of sweat hitting him in the face.

"Watch that shit, do you think I want to smell like you?" Inuyasha said clearly gloating now. "Well I got to get home to Kagome, I know she's wondering where I am, so we might as well get this over with." He then took a deep breath and stated calmly, "Miroku you better move back, you don't want this shit to splatter all over your robes!"

Until Next Time…(please review)
