Chapter 10: Lies and Garbage

***Naraku's Mansion***

Kagome and Kagura had woken up later that afternoon in the attic. It seemed they had worked hard and had a little too much wine.

Kagome sat up blinking and looking around "What time is it? Kagome asked herself trying to rearrange her hair and wipe the drool from her mouth

"Its noon!" Shippou exclaimed as he hopped in from the attic window.

Kagura immediately sat up "Noon? We slept in that late?" Kagura felt woozy and fell back down to sleep.

Kagome stood up slowly grabbing a hold of a nearby box to hold herself. She wanted to vomit and started to lurch, but it was just an exaggerated burp.

She held the back of her hand to cover her mouth. "Ughh I don't feel so good" she said as she stumbled over to the window to let some air in and to vomit.

Kagura also tried to make it to the window but stopped and threw up into a plastic bag.

Kagome turned around from the window "Oh I'm so sorry Kagura, we really shouldn't have drank so much". Kagome turned towards the window again and hurled.

Kagura lifted her head from the bag to reply but couldn't say a word before puking again.

Shippou didn't like the smell or look of vomit and flew right back out of the window and decided to come back later. "See ya" he said quickly.

***Half Hour later***

Kagome and Kagura reluctantly walked back down the stairs to explain to their father why they were so late. They lifted their heads as they walked down the stairs to see a massive mess that seemed to be in every room. Food, clothes, paper, garbage, and even mud and dirt all over the house from top to bottom.

Kagome stopped at the bottom of the stairs "What the hell happened?" she exclaimed.

Kagura stepped in front of Kagome, bent down and picked up a few strands of long black hair. "Sabotage" Kagura said holding up the hair examining it.

Kagome looked at the hair and also examined it. "Kikyo" she said under her breath.

They both sighed and looked around.

Kagura took a few steps into the mess. "She sure worked hard to make this place a disaster, she must really not want you to go to that ball" Kagura said.

Kagome clenched her hands into fists and started to climb over the mess into Kikyo's room.

***BAM***

Kagome kicked Kikyo's door down with a thud.

Kagome looked around the room and discovered Kikyo's room was completely untouched. It was spotless. Kagome was hardly surprised. However Kikyo was nowhere to be found.

Kagura caught up to Kagome and was not surprised that Kikyo's room was immaculate.

"What a bitch!" Kagura blurted out.

Kagome turned to look at Kagura shocked and laughed "Well I never heard that come out of you before"

"Well she just makes me so mad!" Kagura said through clenched teeth. "We got to get back at her Kagome!"

Kagome sighed. "We can't. If I still want to go to the ball I'm going to have to clean this entire house before Saturday and it's already Wednesday."

Kagura put a hand on Kagome's shoulder "I'm going to help you, no matter what it takes we will have this house clean before then!" Kagura said enthusiastically.

"Thanks Kagura, you're a good friend" Kagome said as she tried to smile.

***Palace Garden Lounge***

Miroku and Inuyasha were pacing back and forth trying to figure out what to do about Sango.

Miroku ran his hand through his hair "Should I just walk over to her and wake her up and say 'Hey I'm sorry Sango I'm in love with you but I forgot our date and hit my head on a stump having temporary memory loss" Miroku said breathing heavily.

Inuyasha stopped pacing. "Look I'll go up to her and wake her up, you get out of here and go to your bedroom and get in bed and I will send her to your room and…"

Miroku interrupted Inuyasha "Whoa I like where this is going!" Miroku said enthusiastically while rubbing his hands together.

Inuyasha smacked Miroku across the head. "You idiot, just hear me out."

Inuyasha took a deep breath. "You are going to go back to your room and get in bed, I am going to wake Sango up and explain to her that you hit your head while riding a horse and…"

Again Miroku interrupted Inuyasha. "Oh no, no, no, I don't want Sango to know I got kicked off a horse and hit my head on a stump. She'd think I was a total klutz."

"Like she doesn't already?" Inuyasha joked.

Miroku glared at Inuyasha.

"Ok ok I will find another excuse, but I'm not that good of a liar! She'll see right through me. She's not stupid". Inuyasha explained.

Miroku thought for a moment and then suddenly snapped his fingers. "I got it! Just tell her that I hit my head saving a runaway carriage full of blind, orphan children!" Miroku said pleased with himself.

Inuyasha face palmed himself. "Sometimes I wonder about you man."

Just then out of the corner of their eyes they saw a flash of white fabric.

They both looked to see Sango staring at them with sad eyes with her arms crossed.

"You both should be ashamed of yourselves!" She said looking at both Inuyasha and Miroku.

"Hitting your head while saving a carriage of….what was it? 'Blind orphaned children?" Sango said as tears welled up in her eyes glaring at Miroku.

Miroku and Inuyasha just stared at her open and closing their mouths not knowing what to say.

Sango let her arms hang down at her sides and wiped her eyes. "You should've just told me the truth Miroku, I would've understood." She said sadly as she turned to walk away but turned back around and continued. "And I wouldn't have thought you were a klutz Miroku, I would've been concerned for you and helped take care of you. I can't believe you Miroku!" Sango clenched her fists and ran away down the hall with tears streaming down her face.

"Sango!" Miroku yelled and went to run after her, but Inuyasha stopped him and shook his head.

"I think she needs some space right now." Inuyasha looked down sadly.

Miroku reluctantly agreed.

Miroku slammed his fist down on the table with a thud.

"Easy" Inuyasha said as he put a hand on Miroku's shoulder to comfort him.

Miroku moved away from Inuyasha. "I need to go for a walk, I'll see you tomorrow"

"You gonna be ok man?" Inuyasha asked out of concern.

"I just want to be alone." Miroku said as he covered his eyes and walked down the stairs to the outdoor garden.

*** Naraku's Mansion***

"I'm home girls, I picked up some delicious…" Naraku barely finished his sentence as he walked into the pile of mess that was his home.

Naraku's eyes twitched and sweat beaded down his face, then his eyes rolled back into his head and fainted backwards.

After hearing a thud Kagome and Kagura ran out to see what the noise was and found Naraku lying there in a pile of garbage.

Kagura winced. "Ouch, we need to move him away from this mess or else he'll go bonkers when he wakes up.

Kagome raised an eyebrow "You mean more than usual?"

Kagura laughed "Oh yeah,"

Kagome sighed "Alright let's get him out of here, let's move him to his bedroom. You grab his feet I'll grab his head"

They maybe got him about 4 ft. from where he fainted then dropped his body with a thud.

"This is exhausting, He's heavier than he looks!" Kagura said as she wiped her forehead with her hand.

Kagome reached down to her shoes and peeled off a wrapper that was stuck to her heel.

"Yeah especially when all this junk is in the way" She said as she kicked the garbage.

"There must be a better way" Kagome said thoughtfully.

Just then Shippou came through the door "Jeez what happened here?" he said looking around with shock on his face, then proceeded to sniff around the place.

Kagome and Kagura turned to see the little Kitsune scrounging around in the garbage. They could see his little tail wagging back and forth while he jumped through the trash.

Kagome thought for a moment "This gives me two ideas" Kagome said out loud.

Kagura turned to look at Kagome, and then to Shippou "What do you have in mind?"

"Kagome stepped towards the little fox. "Shippou do you think you could get your friends in here to give us a hand with Naraku and to help clean up this place?"

Shippou's ears perked up. "Yeah that's no problem, all the animals love you Kagome!" Shippou exclaimed.

Kagome smiled and patted him on the head. "Thanks Shippou I'm counting on you"

"You betcha!" Shippou said enthusiastically.

The little Kitsune dashed off out of the house in a hurry.

***Few Minutes Later***

Kagome and Kagura stood there for a few minutes waiting to hear from Shippou.

Naraku still laid there passed out in the garbage.

Then suddenly they felt a sudden vibration all around them, it got louder and louder, faster and faster.

Then it happened.

Rodents, wildlife, insects, and birds came bursting through any and all openings, crevasses, and cracks. They swarmed in and took over the entire mansion. They all rushed in and surrounded Kagome and Kagura in a circle.

They were chirping, roaring, meowing, squeaking and stomping when Shippou hopped up on a bears head and shouted "Shut up and listen to Kagome, she needs our help!"

They all stopped their chatter and lifted their gaze to Kagome and waited for their instructions.

Kagome uncomfortably stood there next to Kagura who was also surprised.

"Erm, thanks for coming" Kagome managed to say.

Kagome sighed and took a deep breath. "As you can see, Kagura and I are in a bit of trouble" Kagome said as she looked down at Naraku and then to the huge mess.

Just then a little grey mouse suddenly ran up Kagura's leg, up her torso across her arm and into her hand. Kagura screamed and wiggled in the process but kept her composer in the end.

Kagura stood there holding the little mouse trembling.

The little mouse spoke in a tiny voice. "You want us to clean this mess right? We love garbage! We'd be happy to remove it from your house! We use it for food and homes, we like to recycle!" The little mouse explained.

Kagura and Kagome looked at each other and sighed of relief "Yes we would really appreciate your help!" Kagome said looking at the little mouse.

The little mouse nodded "Let's do this!" the mouse shouted. The other animals nodded, yelped, and roared in approval.

Kagura let the little mouse down with her hand and stood up.

"We also have another dilemma! Kagura said loudly.

Kagome and Kagura looked down at Naraku. "We need help to carry him up to his room, can anyone help us out?" Kagura asked pleadingly.

A large brown bear came forward. "Leave it to me" He said in a deep voice.

The girls both jumped at the sound of his voice and were a little unnerved when the bear opened his giant mouth and wrapped it around Naraku's head and continued to pull him up the stairs.

*Thump, thump, thump* Naraku's head hit the stairs one after another.

Kagome and Kagura winced while they watched Naraku being pulled up the stairs by a large monstrous bear.

***Meanwhile***

Shippou nudged the girls out the front door. "We need you out of the way for this, we'll come get you when we're done." Shippou explained.

The girls stood outside the house flabbergasted to what was currently happening in their home at this very moment.

Kagura leaned over to Kagome "We're not still drunk are we?"

Kagome laughed nervously "Afraid not"

The girls sighed and sat down on the lawn simultaneously. Pondering their next move.
