Hey! I have finished another chapter! Alas, my writer's block. Thank you, for leaving:D
Anyways... I hope you'll like this chapter. It's more... funny. Some InuxKag-ness, and a little bit of MirxSan. Not much, but a bit. For those of you that were wondering...
THIS IS STILL AN INU X KAG FANFICTION!
Just letting you know, cause of all those reviews that I read. No, it's InuxKag all the way, just like the rest of my stories.
InuYasha: Thank you. I'm not one-upped by a dog.
Kagome: Yeah. It's not too bad, seeing as InuYasha slapped and left Kikyo.
InuYasha: ... umm... you're welcome?
Kagome: -smiles-
InuYasha: So that's what made you mad at me in all the anime episodes! If you'd told me sooner, I would have slapped Kikyo already! Damn it woman, you're stupid.
Kagome: -sweatdrop-
Kikyo: Hmph.
So... enjoy...

Chapter Eight- Bath Time… Again?
"Shut up. I'm not in the mood." InuYasha snarled. Kagome backed away from both. God… how did it turn out like this? This isn't supposed to happen! Kagome thought frantically. There was silence. A slight breeze blew across the three. Kyoisei glared at him.
"What are you in the mood for then? Hurting Kagome and making her cry again?" InuYasha didn't say anything. He just went to Kagome and pulled her away, leaving Kyoisei standing there.
"InuYasha…" was all Kagome said. She was glad that InuYasha didn't go to Kikyo.
"Keh." Kagome smiled, and continued to let him pull her hand. When they arrived at the hut, Shippo and Kirara were already asleep. InuYasha let go of her hand and sat down. Kagome sat down next to him by the fire.
"I wonder where Sango and Miroku are…" Kagome said.
"Keh. They're fine wherever they are." Kagome smiled.
"I wonder if they're creating lust."
"Creating what?" InuYasha asked. Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Can you sniff them out? I want to spy on them again." Kagome said, smiling. InuYasha gave her a look, and Kagome looked away. She sighed, and then broke the silence.
"Where's Kyoisei?"
"Keh. He can take care of himself. He's 'powerful', remember?" He spat. Kagome looked away.
I knew he was jealous. For what I don't even know…shouldn't he know by now that Kyoisei is family? That I can't love him the way he loves me? Not that I want to…
"Thank you." Kagome muttered. InuYasha looked down at her to see her leaning on his shoulder. He blushed a bit.
"For what?"
"For coming out of the bushes when you did. I wouldn't know how to have replied Kyoisei…" Kagome trailed off.
"Keh." Thank you my damned ass. The one time I tell Kikyo to leave me alone for good, Kagome doesn't see it. She's too busy with 'Kyoisei', but she's not every other time when Kikyo forces herself on me. What the fuck is with that? Kagome sighed.
"And also for coming to me instead of Kikyo. I know how much you love her." Kagome got up from his shoulder, and they looked at each other. "Go." That caught InuYasha off guard.
"Go? Go where?"
"Go to Kikyo. She'll be waiting…" Kagome said. Her breaths were becoming uneven. Who am I kidding? InuYasha loves Kikyo…he just cares for me as a friend… InuYasha was quiet. Kagome looked up and InuYasha gawked.
Damn it, I smell tears coming…and her eyes are turning pink… oh shit.
"Kagome…" InuYasha reached out to her, but Kagome looked away.
"Go. You don't have to stay here with me, alright? She'll probably want to see you anyways."
"Kagome…"
"Just go! If you don't, she might die like last time. No offence, but I don't like saving someone's life when they're testing me and all that…" InuYasha was lost now.
Testing her? What the hell is she talking about?
((For those that haven't watched episode 151, Kagome sees a dead Kikyo in water. So she goes and helps Kikyo, only Kikyo was testing her to see if she would really save her, since they both loved InuYasha. Pretty damn stupid if you ask me… but you're not asking. InuYasha wasn't there at the time, until after Kikyo left.)) InuYasha didn't know what to do.
"Hey Kagome… don't cry… you'll wake them up." Kagome glared at him and then stormed out the hut. InuYasha followed her and grabbed her wrist. She turned around with a glare behind her tears.
"Kagome…" He pulled her into him and hugged her tightly. Kagome flushed. "I'm not going anywhere." He whispered. Kagome nodded slightly, and they pulled away. "I'm not going to see her anymore, Kagome. Not anymore, so quit your damn crying."
Kagome wiped her eyes and went back into the hut with InuYasha. She had many questions to ask, as to why he had just finally gotten over Kikyo, but decided to not ask if he didn't tell. Inside, they fell asleep. Kagome was leaning on InuYasha's shoulder with his red haori draped on her head, and InuYasha was hugging her shoulder, holding the Tetsusaiga in his other hand and resting his head on Kagome's.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Should we wake them?"
"But they look so cute!"
"It's already past morning though."
"But InuYasha might smack me in the head."
"Meow."
"Yeah. Let's leave and have Kirara wake them."
"Are you sure? They look so cute together."
"Rather close too."
InuYasha wiggled his ears a bit and opened his eyes. That's weird. I could have sworn I heard Sango and Miroku and Shippo…He blinked and tried to sit up, only to have Kagome hugging him around his waist. He turned into a light shade of pink, and gently hugged her back. She stirred a bit, but stayed asleep.
Kagome…
"InuYasha…" Kagome whispered. InuYasha looked at her.
Is she dreaming about me?
"Yeah?" He whispered back.
"Osuwari." Kagome's eyes shot open as something heavy fell on her. She looked down, and saw InuYasha buried in her chest, with his arms around her under his red haori.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
SLAP.
-----
"You didn't have to scream and slap me, you know." InuYasha grumbled. He poked at his hand-printed cheek. Kagome glared at him.
"What were you doing anyways?" Kagome shouted. InuYasha glared back.
"I wasn't doing anything! You're the one that sat me!"
"You must have been doing something for you to fall on top of me!" Kagome paused. "Were you going to molest me?"
"What does mo-lesk mean?" Kagome blushed.
"Nevermind. What were you doing anyways?" InuYasha rubbed his cheek.
"Nothing! I was trying to get up but your damn arms were around me!"
"They were not!"
"How would you know? You were asleep!"
"You were supposed to be asleep too!"
"So now I can't wake up before you?"
"I never meant that!"
"Keh."
"Hmph." Just then, the four came back. Kagome was the first to greet them.
"Miroku! Sango!"
"Kagome!" Shippo shouted. He jumped into her arms, and she hugged him. Kirara mewed in Sango's arms. Miroku's gaze turned to InuYasha.
"We heard Kagome-Sama scream. You didn't do anything to her, did you InuYasha?"
THUD
"I'm not a lech like you, Miroku."
"Where were you guys the whole time?" Kagome asked. Sango blushed and Miroku scratched his head and laughed.
"Well…"
---Flashback-----
"Sango…"
"Yes, Miroku?"
"Shippo and Kirara are asleep, why don't we go outside and find Kagome-Sama?" Sango nodded and they headed out the hut.
"Where could they be Miroku?"
"Kagome-Sama went to find InuYasha… maybe they're at Goshinboku."
"Why are we heading the opposite way?" Sango asked. Miroku grinned.
"You'll see." They went behind the hut and past a few hills, until they got to a bridge with no sides. Just a wooden board across the bank. Miroku sat down on it and Sango followed, slightly blushing.
"Sango Koishii." Sango blushed heavier.
"Just call me Sango." Miroku smiled at her.
"Sango."
"Yes Miroku?"
-rubrub-
SLAP
THUD
SPLASH
"You took me out here to do that?" Sango asked. Miroku got out from the river, just floating. He grinned and put his staff back on the bridge.
"Maybe…" He reached for Sango's ankle and pulled it, having her fall in. She splashed in, and swam back to the surface, spitting water out onto Miroku's face. Miroku wiped his face with his hand as Sango groaned and got out.
"Real nice, monk." He came out after her.
"Thank you, dear Sango. I thought you'd like a swim." He grinned. Sango rolled her eyes, and couldn't help but smile, until…
SLAP.
"You never learn."
………………………………………………
They went back in at noon, and found Shippo and Kirara playing outside.
"Sango! Miroku!" Shippo greeted. Kirara jumped onto Sango's shoulder, and Shippo ran up to them.
"Don't go in the hut…" Shippo warned. Miroku and Sango exchanged looks.
"Why?" Sango asked. Shippo gulped.
"InuYasha will get mad, and knowing Miroku, he'll get really mad…" Miroku raised an eyebrow but went in. Sango and Kirara went in and Shippo gulped, but still followed.
"Should we wake them?"
"But they look so cute!"
"It's already past morning though."
"But InuYasha might smack me in the head."
"Meow."
"Yeah. Let's leave and have Kirara wake them."
"Are you sure? They look so cute together."
"Rather close too."
"He's stirring! Run!" Shippo said, getting out. The three followed, but they peaked over the window.
"You didn't do what I thought you'd do…" Shippo congratulated Miroku.
"What'd you think I'd do?"
"Thought you'd rub Kagome's butt and make it look like InuYasha did it." Miroku's eyes widened.
"I should have done that."
SMACK.
Miroku smiled innocently at a mad Sango.
---End Flashback-----
"Nothing." Miroku said. InuYasha raised an eyebrow, and Kagome cocked her head. She was about to say something, when Kyoisei came in.
"Kagome!" Her eye's widened.
"Kyoisei! You're covered with mud!" Kagome ran to Kyoisei as Shippo hopped onto the floor.
"I'm sorry Kagome…"
"It's okay, Kyoisei." She smiled at him, and he blushed. InuYasha grabbed him by the collar.
"InuYasha!" Kagome shouted, but InuYasha ignored her.
"Why do you smell like Kikyo?" InuYasha growled. Kyoisei slapped his hand away.
"Kikyo? Who is Kikyo?"
"Don't play stupid! The girl with soul collectors and wears priestess clothing!" Kyoisei thought for a moment.
"OH. You mean the ugly bitch that smells like something dead and rotting?" InuYasha glared at him.
"Kaede smells that way too, ya know." InuYasha retorted. Kagome glared at him.
"InuYasha! Don't talk about Kaede like that!" InuYasha ignored her, and she turned to Kyoisei.
"Did you meet anyone last night?" Kyoisei wiggled his ears and looked up at the roof.
"Oh!" He snapped his fingers. Or, tried to anyways, until his claws cut his skin and he started bleeding.
"Damn it!" Kyoisei cursed. Kagome shook her head as she got a bandage. He's been listening to InuYasha too much. Kagome put the bandage around his finger, and Kyoisei smiled.
"Thanks, Kagome." Kagome nodded and smiled.
"No problem."
"As I was saying… yeah. I met this girl last night in the forest, by this huge tree." InuYasha clenched his hand.
"Who'd you meet at the Goshinboku?" Kyoisei looked at InuYasha.
"So that's what the tree's called."
"Just answer my damn question!" Kyoisei blinked.
"I dunno… All I know is she had this white shirt and red pants. She had like… three floating white snakes around her. She glowed brightly, and I thought she was a goddess or something. Her voice sounded like one…" He turned to Kagome. "She looked kinda like you…" Kagome bit her lip.
Yeah… he saw Kikyo…
"… except you're way prettier. That other girl looked like a fugly bitch." InuYasha raised a brow, and Kagome sweat-dropped.
"What'd you do?" Kagome asked.
"I just talked to her. She said something about you, Kagome. And she talked about InuYasha… she seemed like she was calm in an angry way. It creeped me out, so I didn't really listen. I just nodded, and kinda listened here and there, and then walked away. She didn't seem to mind, but when I looked behind me, she was gone. It was weird…" Kyoisei stopped, and there was silence, so he turned to Kagome.
"Can I take a bath, Kagome?" Kagome nodded. Kyoisei smiled. They stood there in silence, all seven of them, until InuYasha spoke up.
"I thought you were going to take a bath." Kyoisei nodded.
"Yeah. I'm just waiting for Kagome."
"Huh?"
"Say what now?" InuYasha glared hard at him.
"Kagome's going to give me a bath."
"I am?" Kagome asked, interrupting. InuYasha was about to say something, when Miroku interrupted.
"We'll be leaving now."
"Yeah. Have fun arguing." Sango added. Shippo nodded and followed. Kyoisei turned to Kagome.
"So when am I getting my bath?" Kagome bit her lower lip.
"Um… can't you wash yourself?"
"I don't know how though." Kagome sighed.
"How about if InuYasha gives you your bath?" Kagome suggested. InuYasha's face was screwed, and Kyoisei looked pleadingly into Kagome's eyes as if saying 'I beg of you, don't make me get murdered!' InuYasha was the first to speak up.
"Excuse me? Since when did I agree on giving him a bath?" Kagome smiled sweetly at him.
"You wanted to help last time…"
"That was last time! I'm not giving any mutt any damn bath!"
"Please InuYasha?"
"No."
"Fine." Kagome said simply. InuYasha looked confused, and Kagome smiled again.
"I'll give him a bath myself then." InuYasha frowned at her, but Kagome kept her smile up. He couldn't keep the frown, so he sighed.
"You." InuYasha said, pointing at Kyoisei. "You had damn well better cooperate." Kyoisei looked like he was about to cry.
"Kagome! Please!" Kyoisei went behind Kagome, away from InuYasha. Kagome turned around and smiled.
"You wanted a bath, right?" Kyoisei whimpered.
"But Kagome! Why can't you give me a bath?" Kagome stuttered a bit.
"Well… um… Kyoisei… you see… okay, the thing is… what's going on is… cause you know… we… I… er…" Kagome started to blush.
"Kagome… if he gives me my bath, I might not come out of the water alive!" Kagome smiled.
"You will." She turned to InuYasha. "Cause I'll make sure he'll behave." InuYasha grunted with his arms folded under his sleeves.
"C'mon runt. Let's get this over with." InuYasha said, walking out the hut.
The things I do for you, Kagome. You better damn well appreciate this…
((I wanted to stop here, but I thought that'd be too evil of me… and since it was such a short chapter last time… XD))
Kagome handed InuYasha the towel, shampoo and soap.
"So what you do is you soap him up, and then rinse him, then you wash his hair with this shampoo. And then, you rinse him. Make sure you get behind the ears, and scrub him, so he's clean. You have to wash his hair really well, and then use this conditioner. It's mine, but you can let him use it. Then, of course, you have to use this towel and dry him, and you also have to dry his hair. But you have to make sure he's clean. And you can't forget to wash his tail. It looks kinda dirty too. Oh, and InuYasha, don't forget too—."
"I GET IT!" InuYasha yelled. He took the shampoo, the conditioner, the soap, and the towel. "I'll just clean him like I clean myself." Kagome sighed.
"But you don't know how to use the conditioner! Oh yeah!" Kagome went back to her backpack, and came back out the hut with a brush in her hand. ((You know… the kind that people use to scrub their backs in the shower))
"You can use this to scrub him." InuYasha groaned.
"Why am I doing this again?" Kagome smiled.
"Because you don't want me to do it." He glared at her, but walked away anyways.
"Thank you!" Kagome shouted after him.
"Keh." He muttered to himself.
……………………………………………………………………
"Alright squirt."
"My name isn't squirt. It's Kyoisei." He retorted.
"You'll be more like Chikushou if you don't shut up." InuYasha threatened.
"I want Kagome!"
"Too damn bad. It's not like I want to get stuck doing this job." InuYasha groaned and set everything on the grass. They were by the river where Miroku and Sango were the night before. InuYasha sat on the wood that went across the deep river, and pushed him in.
"Hey!" Kyoisei yelled before splattering in the water. He got back up with his beige hair wet, and his ears sagging.
"Now I'm wet!" InuYasha rolled his eyes.
"Ya know, that's kinda the point of a bath." Kyoisei grumbled as he took off his clothes in the river. InuYasha sighed.
"Alright, get over here and I'll wash your hair." Kyoisei unwillingly obeyed, and sat against the wooden bridge. InuYasha looked at the bottles and frowned.
Which one was I supposed to use again?
"What's taking so long?" Kyoisei asked.
"Shut up and wait." InuYasha spat.
Oh shit… this isn't good.

Heh... sort of a twist there... XD... I was thinking of letting Kagome wash him... but I thought with InuYasha... it'd be a lot funnier...

Ja!
