Chapter 3 : Getting High Off New Friends and Secrets

"hai, you must take her to another priestess. A good friend of mine…"

"just spit it out old hag! Michelle's not the lightest thing in the world ya' know!"

"inuyasha, is that how you talk to your elders? Now, you must go right beyond this river and across the meadow on the other side. There in the village ask for priestess courtney."

"hello everyone, I've missed you all." came a voice.

"huh?" michelle mumbled as she opened her eyes. "WHAT THE????" she flew back and landed on her butt. "I was on his back!!!!"

"excuse me but….. Would you like some help getting up?" michelle looked up and saw a man with a black and purple robe.

"no."

"what?"

"I don't need any help, I am suited to do it myself."

"okay." the man said watching her get up.

"I'm surprised miroku. You haven't asked her to bare your children." inu stated.

"what is that supposed to mean!!!???"

"bare his children?!!?!!?!!?" michelle yelled out. "are you out of your mind??!!??"

"my dear,"

"where is fajii?"

"fajii?"

"fajii! Come here girl!!"

Miroku lost all expression in his face and leaned over to inuyasha. "is she in a relationship with a…….another………"

"what??!!??" inuyasha broke out in laughter. "fajii……….is her……..dog……." he continued to laugh as miroku let out a reliving sigh.

The little pet ran out of a tree and hopped into michelles arms. "fajii don't ever run off like that again okay?"

"yip!''

"michelle?" kagome interrupted. "we should get going now."

"go where?"

"to another priestess' village."

"and we cant stay here with the old hag why?"

"because the cure you need only grows in that village."

"of coarse. So who is this priestess of yours, huh?"

"her name is courtney."

"whaa?" was the closest thing to a word she could get out of her mouth, but inside her head was a whole train of thoughts.

'priestess courtney? Why does that sound so familiar?'

"michelle?" inu, miroku and kagome asked. "are you okay?"

"heh, I'm fine. Lets go."

"ahem! I'm leading the way!" inuyasha blurted out.

"why cant I lead the way?"

"because………because I always lead, and you have no idea were your going!"

"well sorry!!! Go right ahead!!! your majesty!!!"

"shut up." he said as he walked past her and headed for the river. Kagome, miroku, and michelle soon fallowed.

"I don't know how you do it kagome." miroku sighed out.

"what do you mean?" kags insisted on knowing.

"keeping these two stubborn, ignorant, self centered half breeds under control."

"huh?"

"look at them." kagome and miroku looked in front of them to see inu and michelle pretty much racing each other to whose going to lead the way.

"ya know miroku," kags said. "I don't know how I do it either."

The group continued to walk and they came to the village just before sunset.

"finally," they all sighed. "we're here."

"ah, its been a while hasn't it, sky?" the giant dog just let out a bark. He was a big red Siberian husky, with crystal blue eyes. His under belly was white and his legs, cheeks, ears, and tail had blue markings very much like the ones on fajji. "prepare to die demons!!!"

"WAIT!!!!!" the group yelled out. "we were sent here by kiate!!!"

"kiate? What is she doing dealing nicely with demons?"

"that's for only us to know!" inu yelled out.

"inuyasha!" michelle yelled. She walked up to the young priestess and stood in front of her. "now, I don't know what the old hag said. But I do know the only reason we're here is because of me."

"why are you here then?"

"all I know is I have some kind of dragon poison inside of me, and your village is the only one that grows the cure."

"there is no cure for dragon poison."

"what?"

"the only way you can get rid of it is to drain the infected area."

"drain?"

"your blood…"

"WTF!!!!! I traveled all this way for some thing I could of done at home!!!???!!!"

"so when did you want to get this done? I am sortta busy."

"as soon as possible!" inuyasha blurted out.

"what!!!???!!!" michelle yelled. "I am not going to let her touch me! As a matter of fact I ain't gunna let her come anywhere near me!!!"

"if you wont do this I'll make sure you do!!!" inu yelled back.

"and since when do you care?!!?"

"I don't I just want you to live for the sake of your dog!!!"

"my dog!!??!! So your gunna blame it on my dog!!??!!"

"fine you want to play that game!" inuyasha then bent over flipping michelle over his shoulder. "I cant play that game!! So where do you want me to put her?" he asked courtney.

"fallow me."

Inuyasha and courtney started for a small hut around the outside of the village, michelle kicking and screaming the whole way, Miroku and kagome went and found some place to eat. Meanwhile, inuyasha threw michelle down in the floor of the hut and closed the door behind courtney. She tried to get back up, but fell due to weakness of blood lose.

"what do you think…..who do you think you are???!!!" michelle asked.

"come on, you wont feel a thing, her drink this." courtney said while handing her a glass with a thick gooey substance inside.

"are you crazy?"

"no. I really need you to drink it."

"why should I?"

"would you rather feel the pain?"

"not really."

"then drink it."

"fine" michelle snatched the cup out of her hand and began to drink it. The substance inside was slowly oozing into her mouth. It wasn't the best tasting either.

"what does that crap do?" inu asked.

"it makes sure she doesn't feel any pain when I slice the wound open."

"you mean put her to sleep."

"no. she'll be awake, just, well, a little out of it."

"okay, whatever."

As soon as michelle was done drinking the cup, she instantly was effected by it. She was wobbling about and trying to keep her balance.

"inuyasha, I need you to hold her still."

"okay then."

Inuyasha grabbed her arms and slowly lowered michelle to the floor. He peered over and saw courtney cutting open the wound and just watching the blood seep out. Michelle was laughing and giggling the whole time, telling the monkeys to leave her alone. 'she must of given her some thing to get her stoned! She's not feeling a thing!' inu thought. Courtney continued draining the poison and wrapped michelle up.

"there, she's done. She'll be fine in the morning."

"are you sure. You could hit her on top of the head with a plank of wood and she'd laugh about it!''

"she'll be fine, now, it would be a good idea if you stayed here with her though."

"what? Why me?"

"well, she still hasn't stopped bleeding yet. And if any demons smell any kind of blood they'll come running."

"but there's nothing you can do about that!"

"no, but I have closed all the windows and I'm gunna lock the door to try to keep the scent in as much as possible."

Inuyasha let out a low growl as courtney turned around and locked the door behind her. "dang priestess! Making me stay in here like some kind of animal!"

"hello, inuyasha." michelle said in a sly voice. "we should of done this a while ago."

"huh?"

"oh inuyasha.'' michelle threw herself at him pressing herself against his chest. "oh inu- I love you."

"what!!!!"

Michelle looked up with the sweetest look and pressed herself closer.

''she really is of the wall! What the heck courtney! What did you give her!'' inu yelled out pushing her away. "listen!!! Sit over there until courtney comes back!! You have no Idea what your doing!"

"I'm doing what I want to inuyasha," she replied. "so lets get going."

"I ain't gunna do nothing'!!! now go away!!!" he turned around and tried to open the door but instantly got zapped. "unko!! She put those frikin' things up!"

"inu……yasha…."

"huh?"

"can you help me?"

"with what?"

"sitting down."

"sitting down? Can't you do it yourself?"

"I could but I would open up my wounds more than they already are."

"no, do it yourself."

"fine" she leaned herself against the wall and slid herself down to the floor, when she got half way down she instantly fell to the floor. Inuyasha ran to her.

"are you okay??!!??"

"huh? Oh, yeah I'm fine. Just a little……"

"a little what?!!?"

"I have a little pain."

"where!??!"

"where my wound is."

"oh, well unfortunately I can't look at……"

"unfortunately???"

"um……well……I…….aaa……."

"inuyasha What was that supposed to mean."

"NOTHING!!!!!!!!!"

"but….."

"IT WAS NOTHING!!!!!"

"okay, okay. No need to get all irritable. Now come and sit."

"no!"

"why not? You must be tired, caring me all day and all."

"I'm fine."

"come on inuyasha."

"well… no….."

"please? Perty-please?"

"um……well okay. Just for a few minutes." he walked over to the spot where michelle was sitting and sat next to her. He folded his arms across his chest and mumbled a few things to himself. Michelle leaned in and rested her head on his shoulder, scooting closer to him and put her hand on his thigh.

"I love you inuyasha. Since the first time I laid eyes on you."

"WHAT THE FRAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" inuyasha screamed as he jumped up from his seat. "what are you talking about??!!??"

"I love you inuyasha, and I want to be yours. Why don't you love me too?"

"HECK NO!!!! I wouldn't fall in love with you if my life depended on it!!!!"

"why?" she asked as she stood up and walked over to him.

"because!!!!!!"

She stepped closer to him and wrapped her arms around the back of his neck.

"inuyasha, I am feeling a little weak. Maybe you could help me with something?"

"um… well, I guess it depends on what it is." inu stated.

"well, I could need some help in this area." then she leaned up and touched her lips with his.

(inuyasha's POV)

I noticed her lean up and kiss me, I tried to push her away but my body wouldn't listen to me. I tried so hard but part of my mind said 'take her, and kiss her now.' the other said 'deny her ' I didn't know what to do. I stood there, not knowing why, I just stood there. It was so tempting to kiss back, the movement, the feel, the taste of her lips were so………… wait. I was kissing her back. No! I told myself not to kiss her!

(normal POV)

To michelle, she had no idea what she was doing, but she was having fun. To inuyasha on the other hand had no idea how to react. He stood there debating to kiss her, or not to kiss her. Kiss her or not to kiss her? 'damn, what am I supposed to do?' he thought. He tried again to push her away, but his body wouldn't listen to him. As much as his mind wanted to push her away, his body wanted the opposite. Michelle's lips were so tempting to him and his whole body tingled for her touch and he wanted her closer, he wanted to hold her, never wanting to let go. But no mater what he tried, he just stood there until able to break away. He lowered himself to the floor in shock, leaning himself up against the wall. 'why did courtney give her so much of that crap? Is it that she wants me do something?' michelle walked over to him and sat down beside him, leaning her head to rest on his shoulder. Inuyasha scooted away from her only causing her to get closer. Before they knew it inuyasha was backed into a corner with michelle peering over him.

"hey! Whatever you want to go on tonight, ain't gunna happen!'' inu said to her. " so do yourself a favor and get some rest." michelle noticed that he was sitting with his legs crossed and his arms resting on his knees in a frustrated way. She sat down in front of him and scooted so she was touching noses with him. "what the heck do you want?" he asked her. In reply michelle started to stroke his cheek with her hand, going from his cheek to his ears and back down his neck. She did this for a while. Inu's head found itself cocking back occasionally, and when she hit the sensitive areas he growled. He didn't even notice himself doing anything, until she kissed him again. Longer, deeper, more passionate, and this time inuyasha kissed her back in the same matter. She wrapped both arms around his neck, he held her close in exchange, she started to massage his shoulders and neck. Those two little voices came inside of his head again as he lowered her down to the floor. Just then they heard a rattling at the door, courtney walked in, and was shocked at what she saw.

"ahem…….." she blurted out. Inuyasha immediately looked up, and his face slowly changed from white to red.

"its…..its not……what…..it looks like….." he stuttered while getting up. "she is completely drunk off that crap you gave her!"

"and let me guess, umm……..she started to rub your ears and you gave into it, whispered a few things and decided to have sex…."

"well……we weren't gunna have sex! And if you tell anyone your dead!"

"don't worry….. I'm not going to tell anyone."

"really?"

"yeah."

"how do I know that I can trust you?"

"well, can you keep a secret?"

"maybe."

"then, I cant keep yours. I'm sure kagome would LOVE to hear about this."

"WAIT!!!!! Fine, I can keep a secret."

"well you can trust me cause I just got done flirtin' with the monk. You should of seen him he was so exited."

"fine. I wont tell anyone if you wont."

"is that a deal?"

"deal."

"kay! Well, you cant bring her out now."

"already?"

"what do you mean already? Its been 3 hours."

"3 hours?"

"yep, but I guess that's what happens when you get involved."

"just do me a favor and shut up."

"sure inuyasha, but I need you to carry her back to my hut."

"what? Me carry her? And we're staying in your hut?"

"yep, she's kinda out cold right now. To much romance does that ya know." she said with a chuckle.

He let out a growl and a small 'shut up' as he picked her up and walked out of the door. "to much romance." he mimicked. "it can do it to ya. Heh"

"oh inuyasha, you guys do make a sweet couple ya know."

"SHUT UP!!!"

"okay, okay. Sheesh. I'm just having a little fun."

"where's your frikin' hut?"

"right over here." she said as she pointed to a small hut in the outer part of the village. They walked in silence for the rest of the trip, inuyasha occasionally glancing down at michelle and letting out a small 'heh'. when they approached the hut inu kicked the door open startling every one inside. Kagome, miroku, fajii, sky and sango. Inuyasha set michelle down after courtney set up a small bed in the corner of the room.

"sango? What are you doing here?" he asked sitting down a few feet from the bed.

"well, I was getting kinda lonely wandering everywhere by myself. I went back to kiate's village and she told me to find you guys here. But inuyasha, who is that?"

"um…. that's michelle. She needed help with some things and kagome, of coarse, volunteered. Heh, I would of let her die."

"really kagome? Was it that bad?"

Kagome went on blabbering about what happened and why they were hear. Everyone listening even though most of them already knew what happened. Miroku kept glancing over at courtney with a 'thank you' look, and courtney just smiled, sometimes blushing. Kilala was examining fajii, and when she got to close fajii would nip at her telling her to 'get back'. sango was listening to kagome. And inuyasha was watching michelle making sure she was still breathing from all that 'crap' courtney gave her. Her eyes opened and when she saw who was kneeling over her she sat up and smacked him.

"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR?????!!!!" he yelled.

"what are you leaning over me for!!??!! Do you know how creepy you are??!!!??"

"me!!! Creepy!!!! Heh!!! You haven't looked in the mirror lately!!!"

The group looked over and watched the argument for a while, until inuyasha stormed out of the room. Michelle going out after him.

"inuyasha! I told you already, I'm sorry!!!"

"listen I don't care!! Now leave me alone!!!"

"inuyasha….I…" she watched him jump into the tree that stood above them. "inuyasha."

She stood there for a few minutes and let him cool down. Then she jumped onto the branch and sat beside him.

"inuyasha? Did you ever wonder why we're always in trees? I mean think about it we're dogs. Real dogs cant even climb."

"heh."

"inuyasha, I'm sorry."

" 'bout what?"

"about what happened…….earlier today."

"what are you talking about?"

"in that hut."

"you remember that?"

"yes, I don't know how, but I remember that particular part. Nothing before or after it."

"you mean when I……ya know…."

"yeah."

"um…. I never meant for it to go that far. I just…..sigh it was like my demon blood took over. I couldn't control it."

"I thought that your demon side was bad. So is mine."

"my mother told me about it before she died. Your demon blood does 2 jobs, both for the same thing. Love and protection."

"yeah, my father talked about it with me when I first got involved with erif. He gave me 'the talk' but in his demon point of view. But inuyasha, it didn't feel like what they described it as. Did it?"

"no. but listen, courtney saw us making out."

"what!!??!!"

"but don't worry I've got her in my grasp."

"how."

"lets just say, I'm keeping a very dark secret from sango…."
