InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ All For The Sake Of Love ❯ All For The Sake Of Love ( Chapter 1 )

All For The Sake Of Love

Thestral…

A/N: This story was inspired partly by the story Drunk As A Dog (I think the author is Silver Fox but I can't be sure, correct me if I'm wrong.) It's similar in that InuYasha gets drunk but I tried to make the plot/story line substantially/drastically different so it can't be considered plagiarism. Also I DO NOT encourage the drinking of alcohol excessively.

Arigato!

Disclaimer: Although I can make InuYasha as drunk as I want, I still don't own him. And I also don't own any of the songs I use in this story.

Kagome clambered out of the well lugging her abnormal pack after her. She was going to get hell and more from InuYasha, for Christ's sake she was a week late. She had been gone for the end of the year exams, SAT's and such, for a week that she had told InuYasha about, but on the last day of school her family had insisted on treating her to an all inclusive spa vacation they had all saved up for. It had been an amazing week; she had been pampered head to toe with all sorts of things! Her family had been there too, they all had enjoyed every minute of it. But the euphoria of the spa was wearing off now that the challenge of facing the over-protective hanyou loomed before her.

She tried to think of things she could say, besides sit, that would calm the surely enraged InuYasha. She could think of nothing other than The Word. With a sigh she resigned herself to her fate and continued down the path that led past the God Tree and to the small village they used as `base'.

When she neared the God Tree Kagome began to hear bits and pieces of discordant singing.

"When I'm finally gone I'm gonna be gone without a trace, there's a lot of good times ahead before we're done."

Kagome ran around the bend in the path only to come upon the very person she had feared meeting. InuYasha lay eagle spread below the branches of the tree, He was obviously drunk (You know how anime characters look when they're drunk). It looked like he had fallen backwards off his favorite branch, and he now lay on his back surrounded by the shattered remains of clay jugs that had once contained sake. (Alcohol)

"Hey G'ome how its gone." InuYasha said waving his hand at the sky.

"Oh my God, InuYasha are you okay?!"

"I'm Mokay-oka-okadokyo if the suns a shinin' I'm mot whinin'." He said gleefully.

Kagome looked down at the drunken hanyou and quickly decided that she needed to get him back to the village. She walked to the edge of the clearing and grabbed InuYasha's discarded fire rat haori, laid it over top of him, and then pulled the sleeves under his arms so she could drag him to Kaede.

"G'ome, swrong?" InuYasha questioned as Kagome went about preparing to drag him all the way to the village.

"I'm just concerned," Kagome said with a sigh," InuYasha, if you were a normal person that much alcohol could have killed you."

"But I'm mot." InuYasha said with a grin.

Kagome just shook her head and began the tiring task of transporting the drunken dog to the village. InuYasha looked around and, although Kagome was pulling him, began singing off key again.

I don't know why I'm with you

The only right thing I do is get along with you

And days go bye-bye for you but they fly by for me

It's true

I talked to you late last night

You said it wasn't all right but it would be all right

And when you sleep by yourself you're

Alone I'm with you

Oohweooh

But you weren't listening when I told you everything

That you need I ain't got

You should be gone by now but you're not

I play guitar all night long

And I know hundreds of songs and I'll just play them all

And even when I get home somehow you're still alone

It's true

I don't know why you're with me

The only reason I see some sort of fetish thing

Some people like to be pleased and

Some like to be teased

Which are you

I tried to warn you but you said just play dead

As long as we stay true

InuYasha then went into humming the melody of the song rather badly. Kagome however was thinking about the previous lyrics, most of them seemed realistic, although he could just be drunk. The part about the guitar she was sure was at least partly true; she had given it to him so he would have something to do while she was gone. She didn't even know if he had ever used it; she had given it to him months ago and even Sango and Miroku hadn't heard him even try to play. InuYasha began singing again and was slightly better. Kagome took it as a hint that he was, hopefully, sobering up.

Did your head not receive the shape of everything

That you are and I am

I shouldn't be happy as your man

You know I am

I play guitar all night long

And I know hundreds of songs and I'll just play them all

And even when I get home somehow you're still alone

It's true

But you weren't listening when I told you everything

That you need I ain't got

You should be gone by now but you're not

InuYasha ended his drunken ballad with a grin and started bobbing his head up and down to a song that he kept a secret in his head. Kagome just sighed and continued slowly dragging him down the dirt road, thinking about the reasoning of InuYasha's song.

After about a half an hour of dragging Kagome decided to take a rest. She leaned InuYasha up against the trunk of a tree even though he was still to drunk to notice or care. She sat down and realized that she had left her pack at the God Tree. At least now she had an excuse to escape InuYasha's upcoming hangover, she was sure it was going to be one helluva hangover.

Kagome sat alone for a few minutes before see spotted Miroku running over the crest of the hill where she had chosen to rest.

"Kagome," huffed Miroku, it looked like he had run all the way from the village," where's InuYasha? I think he got into my secret stash."

"He's over there." Kagome said gesturing towards InuYasha." Wait, Miroku, secret stash of what?"

"Oh, it's nothing…"

"Miroku, tell me. Now."

"Sake."

"Well then," Kagome said, popping a vein," since it was your alcohol you get to pull InuYasha back to the village."

So with a sigh Miroku began pulling the drunken hanyou who started bobbing his head again.

After a few minutes of walking in silence InuYasha broke out of his drunken stupor.

"Hey, I'roku," InuYasha slurred," d'ya think lit worked?"

"InuYasha, NOT NOW." Miroku growled an almost perfect imitation of InuYasha when he was sober and angry.

"No," Kagome interrupted and stopped moving," please continue InuYasha."

"N'kay," InuYasha continued on, despite Miroku who had also stopped and was making a slashing motion across his throat with his hand," Lell nou see I uzz worried about G'ome kuz she's been gon bout taweek. But I'roku gnot n'idea, he snaid I culd gnet nher ta come back by gnettin' nher wurried . So nhe gav me snum sake t'hat tie wuz supposed tah drink nd thnen g'down thne well."

InuYasha ended his narrative with a nod and a small, satisfied grunt.

"Miroku," Kagome said in another near perfect imitation of an angry, sober InuYasha," is all of this true?"

Miroku answered with a single nod in the affirmative.

"Do I need to tell you how I found him?"

Negative nod.

"Now tell me why did you two do this."

Miroku opened his mouth to answer but he was interrupted by InuYasha who, after falling down, said with glee:

"It wuzz all for the sake of love!"

I hope you liked it. And here's what InuYasha said translated out of drunkard speak: Well you see I was worried about Kagome because she's been gone about a week. But Miroku got an idea; he said I could get her to come back by getting her worried. So he gave me some sake that I was supposed to drink and then go down the well. Keep in mind that this is a rough translation because the language of the drunk is tricky and very hard to decipher. ;^)

Arigato!
