Maru-sha: here's another chapter for all you wonderful fans ! Laugh and enjoy !

Hot, almost oxygen-less winds blew across the blazing sands in the desert of Japan. A tall young man in tattered clothes slowly trekked across the wasteland. "So...hungry" he moaned before falling over face first into the sand. Before he passed out, he saw what looked like a woman in a white sundress coming towards him.

When he awoke, he was on a mattress on the floor of a house. "You awake, human ?" a feminine, yet tough voice asked. The man looked to his side and saw a slander woman sitting on a chair near him. Her eyes were deep blue and almost lifeless, and her long blonde-ish hair rested on her shoulders. "Huh ? How did I get here ?" he asked, sitting up and looking around. "You passed out a few miles away from here. I hope you're alright" the woman asked, not looking up at him, but busy sewing something up in her lap. "My name is Rokuro and I'm on a training mission. I've been all around the world and I'm close to home" he said. "That's nice" she said, not bothering to pay attention. "Well...thanks for helping me. I'm going to be heading off now" Rokuro said, starting to get up. The moment he stood up, he felt a pain in his stomach. "Ugh, I forgot...I haven't eaten in days..." he said. "Why didn't you say so ?" the woman asked.

The next thing he knew, Rokuro was devouring bowl after bowl of rice with small chunks in it. "Thank you so very much, what is this ? I've never had anything this good !" he cried.

"It's nothing but rice and the body of a snake that's been simmered for three days" she said. Rokuro's forehead turned blue and he slowly finished the last bit of food in his bowl and didn't eat anymore.

"May I know your name ?" he asked.

"It's Yuuki Aura" she said.

"What a chilling name..." he thought.

"I am a coyote demon, so is my son. That's why we can live in the desert very comfortably" Yuuki said.

"Mommy ! I'm hungry !" a small boy cried as he ran into the room and clung to Yuuki's legs.

"In a minute dear" she said. The boy sighed, then saw Rokuro.

"Who's the human ?" he asked.

"His name is Rokuro, be nice" Yuuki said. He smiled and bowed.

"Hi ! My name is Hank and I'm two !" he giggled.

"What a nice little boy" Rokuro said with a smile.

"So, what will you pay me for bringing you into my home and feeding you ?" Yuuki asked, a grin coming to her face for the first time since she saw Rokuro.

"Uhh...I have no money" he gasped.

"Then give me your hand in marriage" she said, taking hold of Rokuro's hand.

"Yay ! A new father !" Hank exclaimed, waving a pair of paper fans.

"NO ! I'm already married ! I have been for the past year !" Rokuro shouted.

"So you have no way to pay me..." Yuuki said, standing up.

"n-no...what are you going to do ?" he asked nervously. Yuuki reached behind her back and stepped closer to Rokuro.

"You better promise me something, or my child and I will have chopped human for our next meal !" she shouted, pulling out an ax almost as large as her. Rokuro backed into a corner and screamed.

"AAAAAHHH ! Okay, okay ! I'll give you my child !" he cried. Yuuki slung her ax over and let the handle rest on her shoulder.

"I don't want a child, I already have one..." she said.

"Then I'll let him have my child ! Yeah, that's it ! When my wife and I have our first child and it's a girl, your son can have her as his fiancée !" Rokuro offered.

"Hmm...not a bad idea..." she said, keeling down to Hank. "Son, do you want a fiancée ?"

Hank blinked and titled his head. "What's that ?"

"A girl, hopefully, you will marry once you grow up"

"A girl ? EWWW !" he cried.

"YOU WILL LIKE THIS GIRL AND YOU WILL CONTINUE OUR FAMILY LINE, UNDERSTAND ?" Yuuki screamed as she shook Hank by his shoulders. "Yes mommy !" he cried. "Good !" she said in an overly cheery voice.

"Then it's settled, your son will marry my first child ONLY if it turns out to be a girl" Rokuro said.

"Deal" Yuuki said.

(15 years later)

"YES ! I am in the greatest scientist in the world ! All bow down to me !" Hank shouted from his room. His only audience was the living definition of 'cute'. "All hail Hank-san !" Mimi cheered as she bowed on her knees. "You don't count !" he growled. "Aww..." she whined.

The door creaked open and Nabiki came in. "I need you to make me something for Randy ! Something he'll like so he'll like me more than ever !" she said. Hank sweat-dropped.

"You're lucky I'm so giving...here !" he said, tossing her a Rubik Cube.

"I finished that thing over twenty times and I'm bored with it" he continued.

"Is that so ?" Nabiki asked, fiddling with it.

"Yes, he's smart !" Mimi giggled.

"That's right, and there's no way an air-headed dipstick like you knows how to figure it-" Hank began, but was interrupted.

"Done !" Nabiki chimed, showing Hank the finished cube.

"Out !" Mimi finished for Hank.

"Wha...but...you...only seven and one-eighth seconds !" he gasped.

"This should be good for Randy, thanks Hank-chan !" she said as she left.

"I'm not Hank-chan to you ! I'm older than you !" he shouted after her. Mimi started to poke at a liquid in a beaker. "What's this do ?" she asked. "It's something that will bring my dear mother back to life !" Hank said. "You're mommy died ? Is that why you're so sad and locked up in your room all the time ?" she asked. "How'd she know ?" Hank thought. "No ! I just wanted to make her proud by me becoming a great scientist" he said, patting Mimi's head. "Oh, alright !" she giggled.

Hank walked over to a shelf and took down an urn that was way on the top. "These are her ashes...this will only work once. So I can't mess up" he said softly, his eyes showing sadness for once. He went over to a table, threw the many books on it to the floor, revealing a star-shaped pattern carved into the wooden desk. After placing the urn in the center of the star and lighting many small dishes of herbs, he carefully poured the concoction he made into the urn. "What we do now ?" Mimi asked. She looked over and saw Hank was bowing with his face pressing into the floor. "Get down !" he said, pushing Mimi down in the same position as him. "We must say the incantation !" he said. "What is it ?" she asked. "Zamba tarka ishtu memory" Hank said. "Okay !" Mimi said with a nod. They both began chanting over and over again. The afternoon seemed to turn into night. For many hours they chanted.

"Zamba tarka ishtu memory... zamba tarka ishtu memory... zamba tarka ishtu memory..."

(At midnight)

Mimi had fallen asleep during the chanting. She laid cuddled next to Hank. He was sleeping as well. "Zamba tarka ishtu memory..." he said in his sleep.

Then, the urn on the desk glowed a green aura and the lit herbs around it blew out. A large white form floated out of the urn and formed on the floor near Hank and Mimi. A woman with blonde hair that had a white age stripe through it, pale skin, and lifeless blue eyes appeared. She was dressed in the same white kimono she was cremated in.

"Who has called on me ?" her voice asked. Then she saw Hank lying on the floor fast asleep. "My boy...he did this. Oh my son !" she cried, kneeling next to him and hugging him.

"Hmm ?" he said, slowly awaking.

"My son, it's me !" she said.

"Mommy ?" Hank gasped, his eyes tearing up.

"Hank-chan !" Yuuki cried, hugging him tighter.

"Mommy !" he shouted, returning her hug and crying on her shoulder.

"No more waffles..." Mimi groaned in her sleep.

(The next day)

"Everyone, this is my mother !" Hank announced to everyone at the table.

"Wow ! She's beautiful !" Kamatari said, suddenly appearing next to Yuuki.

"Don't you dare, she's my mother, you pervert !" Hank shouted.

"I would never EVER do that !" he said slyly, his hand already stroking Yuuki's behind. She snarled and spoke up.

"Get your nasty hand off me !" she yelled, punching Kamatari in the face. He flew into a wall and went right through it.

"I'll call a repair man for that..." Sesshomaru sighed.

"Whoa, she's strong for an old hag !" Serenity laughed.

"What did you call me...little boy ?" she hissed.

"N-nothing ma'am ! And I'm a girl !" Serenity gulped.

"Sure fooled me..." Yuuki thought. Rokuro began to leave, but Yuuki was standing right in front of him.

"You still remember your promise ?" she asked.

"Uhh...well..." Rokuro hesitated. Yuuki went over to Nabiki and felt her chest area. "umm...could ya' stop that ?" Nabiki asked, trying not to lose it.

"Hmm...yep. You're a girl ! And you smell just like your father. You must be his daughter ! Meaning that the promise is going to be kept !" she chimed.

"What promise, father ?" Nabiki asked. Yuuki grabbed Hank and Nabiki and made them hug each other.

"These two...are betrothed to be married !" she said happily.

"WHAT ?" both Nabiki and Hank gasped. Randy spit out the milk he was drinking and gasped.

"Great, things were starting to get boring around here. Time for some action !" Inu-yasha thought smugly.
