InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Chibi InuYasha! ❯ Of Baths and Lords ( Chapter 1 )

Frustration. It is often confused or mixed with anxiousness and irritation. But today, frustrating and only frustrating was the perfect way to describe Kagome's day. Of course, other words came close such as painful or mind-boggling or hectic but frustrating was the perfect word so far.

Now she was lying on a grand futon in an enormous castle owned by the Lord of the Western Lands. Okay, so just how did she end up here?! Lets recap shall we?

First InuYasha just HAD to wake her (rudely of course) at 5 am insisting in his over grating voice that they had jewel shards to hunt.

Second at 6:30am, a bleary Kagome stumbled on a rock as they walked through the infamous InuYasha's Forest and sprained her ankle. Bandaging it and riding on InuYasha's back was a bit of a comfort but no one wants their ankle sprained!

Third, Sesshoumaru decided to oh-so-conveniently drop by and challenge InuYasha AGAIN for the Tetsusaiga.

Fourth, if she hadn't so stupidly stepped between them trying to stop their bickering THIS might have never happened. She would still be with InuYasha tending to his injuries that Sesshoumaru gave him, but noooooooo, she just had to be a smart ass and ended up cursing InuYasha.

In fact, none of them had ever thought THIS would've happened. It never, for once, crossed their minds. Now if she could only find a way to reverse THIS.

"Wench, you will fix THIS. I do not care how, but you will. If you have need of, I can offer you shelter. However, before this fortnight is through. THIS will be resolved!" Sesshoumaru's thunderous voice blared through one ear and out the next.

"Feh! I can take care of myself!" InuYasha tried to insist.

"InuYasha, I don't think so. And in fact, I think its quite kind of Sesshoumaru to offer us his residence." Kagome furrowed her eyebrows in concentration as she tried to come up with a solution for THIS.

"Not my residence, the servants quarters." Sesshoumaru sniffed disdainfully as if the mere presence of InuYasha and `his wench' had already ruined his day.

Which technically he wanted it to, but for some odd reason it felt like watching comedic actors. Of course, he would never laugh out loud, but it did relieve some tension.

"That would leave me and Sango free. I'm sure Sango and I could go sightseeing while you fix THIS problem." Miroku winked at Sango who promptly scowled back and hissed,

"Iie! No way are you leaving me with this lecherous, womanizing, groping monk!"

"Sango! I'm offen-" Miroku rubbed his sore cheek which had been slapped a total of 217 times now. Yes, he was counting! What? Is it wrong to have a fetish for being slapped by a beautiful woman? It was quite fulfilling actually to see her pretty glare and reddened cheeks. And being the blunt monk he is, he told her just that.

Slap #218.

Sesshoumaru's lips tried to curve upwards at the amusing scene before him. His self-control however would not allow it. He stared on, his face impassive as he waited for his HALF-brother and `his wench' to make up their minds.

"Well then, would you like to come with us?" Kagome inquired as she held InuYasha by his collar to prevent him from running off. What a bundle of energy!

"Hai hai!" Sango bobbed her head up and down enthusiastically.

"Iie. I do not have enough room," Sesshoumaru refused Sango's request.

"I'm sure you have more than enough guest rooms, but of course, only a dishonourable youkai would put us in the most dingiest rooms he has to offer. Even to his own blood." Kagome smiled sweetly at Sesshoumaru's insulted face.

"This Sesshoumaru is as trustworthy as the rising sun! Never disrespect my nobility!" he hissed and reined control over his emotions once more and fought off the urge to strangle his brother's wench before him.

"Ah, so then we will be staying in your guest rooms dare I say?" Kagome laughed at her manipulative abilities. True, she never meant to play him, but his own arrogance caused her to scheme against him.

"I don't want to stay at Sesshoumaru nii-chan's place!"InuYasha whined with the voice of an eight year old, which is quite ironic, as you will soon find out.

"Then Sango can come as well?" Kagome ignored InuYasha and looked up hopefully at Sesshoumaru's perfect face.

Wait, perfect?! Well, he was quite pretty in a masculine way. Oh no, she just complimented Sesshoumaru. Which meant she admired him. Oh God, things just got a hell lot more complicated. She fought off the oncoming nausea and concentrated on the trouble at hand.

Sesshoumaru crushed that hopeful face of hers with his next answer, which was quite simply,

"Iie,"

"Why?!" two females wailed with pitiful voices in unison.

"I honoured one of your requests and now you must honour one of mine." He explained in a don't-even-try-because-there-is-no-way-in-hell-you-can-change-my-mind sort of tone.

"Kagome, you must fix THIS soon!" Sango whimpered fearfully and embraced her best friend in a giant hug.

"I'll try. It won't be so bad. And if Miroku does anything you can always put him in a coma!" Kagome joked trying to lighten the dampened mood.

"Why would I want to put him in the middle of a sentence?" Sango asked in a confused fashion.

"Oh, its one of those new terms. Nevermind." Kagome giggled.

"We must be heading off now if we are to arrive at my castle before dusk." Sesshoumaru grunted impatiently.

"Hai. InuYasha." Kagome looked down to see InuYasha's red haori in her hand before realizing that InuYasha had run off.

"INUYASHA!" she panicked and gripped his haori until her knuckles turned whiter than snow.

"I can smell him. He is not far." Sesshoumaru eyed the miko up and down. Why she feared so badly for his little HALF-brother was beyond him, but in any case, they had to find his HALF-brother so off he went using his super human speed.

It took exactly 3 seconds to go off and bring the little brat back. Of course, it wasn't without much struggling and kicking and yelping and bickering and dodging and punching and lots of general noise making that InuYasha was brought back.

After they fix THIS, he swore never to look for InuYasha again.

He, being the perfect gentleman he was (cough cough), threw Kagome and InuYasha onto Ah Un, had Jaken manoeuvre the dragon back to his castle and started to race back on his own.

"You could've at least helped me up!" Kagome shrieked as she landed on her stomach on the saddle.

"Feh! If you weren't so weak you wouldn't have needed his help." InuYasha grumped.

"Shut up!" Kagome fumed angrily. Being told off by a kid was quite abusive to say the least.

"And when can you fix me?!" InuYasha complained quite dissatisfied.

"Just shut up!" she pulled a pair of earplugs from her bottomless knapsack and proceeded to ignore the wailing hanyou behind her.

"But Kagomeeeeeeeeee!!" he protested violently, almost to the point of ripping her plugs off.

Meanwhile, the miko just sat there and concentrated on other things. Unfortunately, the only `other things' she could think of was Sesshoumaru.

White, silverish hair.

Piercing golden eyes

Creamy white skin

Perfect face

Sexy stripes

Sharpened claws.

SHARPENED CLAWS!

Kagome gasped as InuYasha brandished his claws and threatened to kill her if she didn't listen to him.

She mutely removed them only to be subjected to much more moaning and whining and grumbling and complaining and to put it nicely, annoying noises.

There was absolutely no way to get InuYasha's irritating noise out of her head so she just sat back and tried to tune out his exasperating voice.

Tall lean body

Cute crescent moon

A freaking Lord!

Fancy traditional outfit

Totally rich

She shuddered as she realized she was thinking about HIM again. Goodness, why is it that all of a sudden, just because she had a good look of him now she can't get HIM out of her head?

So deep in thought was she that she didn't realize Ah Un had landed before a magnificent castle.

"Wench, do you plan on sleeping with my dragon in the stable?" just as she could almost picture him right in front of her, Sesshoumaru appeared.

"Well, it just so happens I sprained my ankle and can't get down!" Kagome hated his taunting.

With a dramatic heaving sigh, Sesshoumaru had her leaning on his side.

"Can you walk?" it was more of an order than a question, but Kagome answered anyways.

"No," she exhaled noisily but it slid into a gasp of surprise as Sesshoumaru picked her up beneath her knees.

She squeaked and held on tight, and would've rolled her eyes if she hadn't just envisioned this a couple minutes ago on Ah Un. Shivering slightly, Sesshoumaru mistook it for coldness and draped his fur over her.

A small blush crept up her cheeks and InuYasha was forgotten for the moment. Well, that moment ended pretty soon as InuYasha growled "menacingly" at Sesshoumaru.

"She can rest on me!" he tugged angrily at Sesshoumaru's robes.

Strangely enough, if it were any other human woman, he would've dropped her already, but then he would lose her warmth and the way her body just moulded nicely into his was something he wanted to savour for just a moment longer. So he merely cast an annoyed glance at his annoying HALF-sibling.

"She's mine and I won't let you take her from me!" he snarled and planted his feet stubbornly in front of Sesshoumaru.

Kagome was again, elated that he had claimed her as his, but quite aggravated at his possessiveness. In order to keep this from escalating any higher she sacrificially jumped down from Sesshoumaru and leaned on InuYasha. Of course, she instantly missed the warmth the Lord provided, but said nothing as she hobbled along beside InuYasha who was substantially shorter than her.

Sesshoumaru lead the way, ever so often sneaking glances back towards the innocent miko whose face was currently screwed up in pain.

Wait a minute! He was the Lord of the house AND the Western Lands! HE shouldn't have to take orders from that little brat! He could do whatever he pleased and if he wanted to scoop that miko up in his arms again then he would do so! Except, that would seem quite odd and when did he let his heart rule his head? So he let it drop and decided that the sooner she got out of his sight the sooner he would let go of his fixation with her.

"InuYasha, take a bath!"

"Feh, NO!"

"InuYasha!" her motherly tone gently reprimanded him.

Ordinarily, InuYasha wouldn't be told when or where to take a bath, but this time it was different. For InuYasha was a 10 year old...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sango! We're alone!" Miroku stated the overly obvious as he watched Sesshoumaru and Ah Un bearing Kagome and InuYasha fly off.

"Unfortunately." The poor taijiya grumbled under her breath and groaned.

"Shall we help some poor damsel in distress or shall we go and do other `things'" Miroku grabbed Sango's hand before she could slap him again.

"HENTAI!" Sango struggled under Miroku's grasp for a bit before giving up and conceding that he was stronger than she.

"Now, now. Sango, play nicely." The monk chuckled at her reddening face and let go.

A deafening boom and a few harsh words later, the two started to walk mindlessly around. Or course, it wasn't so mindless anymore when the two of them got caught in a sudden downpour and just HAD to search for a cave.

Fortunately for them, it was found quite quickly, but they were still soaked to the bone.

"Bad weather, ne?" Miroku peeled off his outer AND inner robe, leaving his bare chest right in front of Sango. As always, his intentions were `pure'.

Sango swiftly averted her eyes and sat with her back facing the monk. No way in hell would she let him get the better of her! She wasn't innocent. She wasn't naïve. She KNEW what he was trying to do. In fact, if he started the rain she wouldn't be surprised.

A cool draft blew in; making the hairs on her neck stand up, but what freaked her out the most was Miroku's low chuckle as she heard him stand up.

"I've waited an eternity for this. To know that InuYasha or Kagome wouldn't interrupt." He knelt beside her and studied her face with a fascination that could only be rivalled by Naraku's with Kagome.

Sango gulped noiselessly as she figured out what was to happen. Yet, her body stood frozen in place, unable to move, as she watched him place a hand on her cheek.

Surprisingly, his hand was warm and felt herself unconsciously leaning into his touch.

His face neared hers and his breath was hot against her cheek. A husky voice that sounded nothing like Miroku said and blew into her ear,

"I love you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N I just cudn't get this idea out of my head and I don't really recall any other fic with InuYasha a chibi! He's so freaking adorable! I love the scene with the undead mother (=p or whatever she was) and they showed InuYasha as a little boy. CUTIE!

Sesshoumaru: and what of I, Lord Sesshoumaru.

Don't worry, you're still my bishounen!

Sess-kun: *smiles with satisfaction*

When otaku(s) take Japanese romanji too far: That is the bishiest guy I've ever seen! (me when I first saw Sess-kun!^^;;)
