InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Dirty Dancing ❯ Turnabout is Fair Play ( Chapter 14 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Inuyasha groggily awoke from the unwelcomed sunlight pouring into his room. His first coherent thought was of Kagome and he couldn't stop himself from plastering a goofy grin across his handsome features. He looked out the window to the sky, the sun making his amber eyes sparkle and create a stunning contrast with his silvery hair. Velvety soft ears twitched gently to the sounds of the birds chirping...and the sound of someone dying.

"MIROKU! GET BACK HERE YOU PERVERT!"

Inuyasha shook his head. Miroku was going to lose his life to his girlfriend if he kept pissing her off. His ears swiveled slightly as he listened to Sango chase Miroku around his cabin then back to theirs. Sounded like she was wielding that large boomerang again that she found in the props room. WEird thing was, it looked like it was made for her with the way she kept swinging it around. The young hanyou then swung himself out of bed, clad only in his boxers, and made his way to his bathroom. The guy loved his showers and he doubted Kagome would want him to smell good when he was with her. He didn't need to walk around like a muscle-bound barbarian, did he? Nope.

Shippo watched contentedly from Kagome's stomach as said girl slept soundly. Ever since he had gotten in her room he kept trying to figure out why Kagome had a smile on her face. She was sleeping, wasn't she? Maybe she was dreaming about someone? Hopefully she was dreaming about candy. Lots and lots of candy. And hopefully she would be considerate enough to get up soon and get him some. He had become extremely addicted to the sweet sugary goodness upon its entrance to his mouth the first time he tried it, not long after meeting Kagome. The little kitsune also couldn't figure out why Kagome had saved him from the ring a few days ago. She was human and from what he had learned, most humans didn't get along with demons. Even though there was some kind of peace settlement between the two warring species, a lot of people, human and demon, didn't agree and kept fighting each other. He was tired of the fighting. Why couldn't more people be like Kagome? Sweet, caring, innocent, and happy? Shippo's emerald eyes lit up when Kagome began to rouse from her sleep.

"Good morning, Kagome."

Kagome sleepily wiped her eyes and looked at the child addressing her. She smiled. "Good morning, Shippo. Did you have fun at your sleepover last night?"

Shippo nodded vigorously. "All the kids were real nice to me."

"That's good."

Kagome smiled more as the young fox kit chattered away about last nights events. Going from watching movies, to dancing with a cute girl he had met, to eating cake and icecream, and playing with water guns. Kagome thought back to when she and Inuyasha had first brought Shippo back from the fight. He was a complete mess, with his hair in a tangled mess and his clothes torn. He hadn't spoken to them at first and was quite hostile when he first woke up from unconsciousness. Now, he talked to just about every person he saw and played with all the kids on the resort grounds.

"Kagome?"

"Hmm?"

"What are you thinking about? Weren't you listening to me?"

"Of course Shippo. I'm still half asleep."

Shippo looked thoughtful then shrugged his shoulders. "Can I go play with Sakura now?"

"Who is Sakura?" Kagome asked as she sat up, making Shippo sits on the downy comforter. She smiled as his cheeks tinged pink.

"The girl I danced with last night."

"Sure. Have fun."

Shippo beamed with excitement and ran for the door. Kagome watched confused as he stopped his reach for the door knob to turn and look back at her.

"Umm...Kagome?"

"What is it?"

"Before you go meet Inuyasha..."

"Shippo?"

"Your breath stinks."

Miroku sat watching Sango, a safe distance away, as she stared at him heatedly. The poor guy sought refuge from Inuyasha the moment the half demon stepped from his cabin. Unfortunately for him and Inuyasha they were no match against the enrage female. Both men were sporting rather large lumps on their heads from the boomerang she angrily brought down upon them. Miroku thought it was a harmless joke but apparently it had made her a lot more angry than he hoped for. She had made no move to remove the whipped cream from her hair or the black lipstick from around her eyes and mouth. Not to mention he had left a couple of frogs in her bed for her to wake up to. Miroku was left speechless at her reaction. Instead of being the tomboy he remembered her to be she had become girly and squeamish. She screamed very loud and shrilly. Sounds he never expected to come flying from her mouth. After she screamed she turned on him and chased him down yelling out promises of pain and slow torture upon his capture.

Inuyasha rubbed his abused scalp. What did he do to deserve this? One minute he was thinking about his gorgeous girlfriend and the next he was knocked on the ground. Where was his girl to support him? Wait. Nevermind...scratch that. She would just sit by and watch Sango chase him around and abuse him. What kinda girlfriend was she? Still, he cared about her and coulnd't wait for her to show up. Him and the others were waiting for her to join them in the auditorium so they could get some more practice in before tomorrow night. He hadn't had a lot of time to practice with her because of her injury but now that she was better they had only one day to be ready. Miroku and Sango practiced just about every time they were together. When other people walked to their destination, the young couple would Tango to their desired location or do some other dance to get where they were going. Inuyasha mentally scoffed. He was jealous. He just wouldn't admit it to anyone. Sango and Miroku had known each other a long time before they started dating and the two complimented each other nicely. Inuyasha hoped that Kagome was the one for him so he could share memories with her and make new ones. She was definately different from Kikyo. He liked her just the way she was.

"Should we be practicing in here in plain view?"

Inuyasha's adorable ears perked up considerably at the soft voice of his girlfriend. He turned around to face her and was amazed that she was putting her full weight on the ankle that had been too sore to walk on just last night. She looked so cute just standing there, hands clasped in front of her, wearing a pair of short demin shorts with a green tank top.

"Where do you think we should practice then?"

Miroku just had to go and ruin the moment.

"I don't know. Kikyo and Naraku could walk in on us and our plan will be ruined."

"She's right. Let's find somewhere else to go." Sango tried to look as regal as possible considering her state of appearance.

Kagome took in Sango's appearance for the first time since walking in. She was speechless. Sango's hair was sticking up in odd directions covered in what looked liked whipped cream. She also had lipstick all over her face except on her mouth where it belonged.

"San....go...what happened to you?" Kagome couldn't keep her mouth from staying opening.

"I'll tell you what happened! Miroku thought it would be funny to put whipped cream in my hair and lipstick all over my face. And if that wasn't enough he put frogs in my bed!"

"It was only a little joke." Miroku replied in defense.

"YOU CALL THIS LITTLE?!"

Miroku shrank back against Inuyasha.

"Don't come to me again! Last time you did she whacked me over the head with that toy of hers."

"Toy...? I'll show you a toy!" Sango moved to attack Inuyasha who then shrank back on Miroku. The two quivered in fear.

"Sango! Calm down." Kagome said while she grabbed the young woman's arm. Sango stood still, glaring at the two boys while huffing. "Why don't we go get you cleaned up and the guys can go find us a place so we can dance, huh? How about it?"

Sango gave one last glare to Miroku and Inuyasha as Kagome led her out of the auditorium.

"Miroku?"

"Yeah?"

"Your girlfriend is scary man."

"Yeah. I thought I was going to die."

"Me too."

**********

Kagome made herself at home on Sango's bed as her best friend showered and got ready. It seemed like forever for Sango to get all the whipped cream out of her hair and the lipstick off her face. When she had come out of the bathroom to get her clothes Kagome noticed her whole face was red from the scrubbing she had done. Ever since Sango went back into the bathroom Kagome was thinking of ways to get Miroku back. Granted Inuyasha didn't help him in this but it wouldn't be fair for Miroku to get all the punishment while his best friend sat idly by watching all the action, now would it? Sango stepped out into her room clean.

"Well? Did I get it all?"

"Looks like. What do you say about getting a little revenge?"

Sango smiled devilishly. "Turnabout is fair play."

Kagome grinned. "Exactly."

**********

"So did you text Sango and tell her we found a place?"

"Yeah. Said she'd be here in a few. How are things with you and Kagome? I'm sure you spiced last night up after dinner." Miroku wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"Uh...no. We ate dinner in her room and then I fixed up her ankle."

"Inuyasha. How can you be so boring?"

"I'm not going to pounce on her. We haven't been together for a week yet."

"You like her though?"

"Sure I do. You were right. She's nothing like Kikyo."

"Told ya."

"So do you think anyone will find us here?"

"Inuyasha. Who in their right mind would come this far into the woods?"

"Kagome and Sango?"

"Oh...right. How you know about this place anyway?"

"I came here my first year. Was running around and happened to find it." Inuyasha shrugged some. No need to explain to Miroku that the times he came here before he met Kagome were because he was angry at someone who hurt him or the world.

All out of things to talk about the guys sat waiting for the girls to show up. Both hoped Sango had cooled off enough. Inuyasha was glad they weren't too far from the resort or she would complain about walking so far into the woods to find them. Inuyasha cringed.

"Hello boys."

Both hanyou and human turned around rapidly to stare at Kagome and Sango. They were so deep in thought they hadn't heard them approach. Inuyasha was cursing himself for not sensing their presence before they were upon them. It could have been an enemy and he would have been off guard to the attack. Something was off with the girls though now that he thought about it. Both of them were smiling too sweetly for his liking and had their hands behind their backs.

"Wha..."

Before Inuyasha could finish his sentence...or one word, Sango and Kagome opened fire. Balloons were tossed around the clearing at the two victims who were too shocked to do anything but stand there until they were hit with a balloon.

"What the hell?!" Inuyasha brought his hand across his face to wipe away the black that shielded his vision. Paint. Pink paint. Inuyasha came out of his stupor as another paint filled balloon burst at his feet sending yellow drops of paint flying onto his pants. With speed only humans could wish for the young demon bounded up a tree way out of throwing distance.

Inuyasha looked to see his fellow companion surrounded by both girls covered in purple, pink, yellow, and teal paint. He couldn't believe Miroku was just standing there taking the assault. He then began to doubt that the idiot would be able to run away fast enough. Sango was fast, from experience of course, and she would have probably knocked the poor guy to the ground before he got more than a couple feet away from her. As soon as the girls were unarmed he jumped down from his perch to land beside Kagome who had a huge grin spread across her face. The same could be said about Sango. If Tokyo could be lit up with a grin then Sango had the power to do it. Time ticked by slowly as Kagome, Sango, and Inuyasha watched Miroku just stand there. They couldn't see his face from all the paint so they had no idea if he was angry or what not. Sango took a step closer to her, for once, silent boyfriend.

"Um...Miroku? Are you ok?" She hesitantly asked, grin slipping.

It took a few moments for Miroku to answer. "I'm just fine Sango. Same couldn't be said for you though."

Sango backed away slowly. "What are you talking about?"

Before anyone could register what had happened Miroku had Sango trapped in his arms, rubbing paint all over her. "You will never beat me Sango!"

Inuyasha and Kagome stood watching dumbfounded while Miroku's evil victory cries filled the clearing sending animals running for shelter. Sango could only stand there as her boyfriend rubbed his body all over her, trying to get every inch of her covered in paint.
