InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Fallen Samurai ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

DISCLAIMOR: I THINK YOU GET THE IDEA.....

---------------------------------------

It was close to sunrise when the air rang with Shippou's frightened scream. The other three awoke to find the young kitsune hanging from the the back of his collar by a large white feline with glaring eyes. (a/n not to mention sharp fangs but anyway, *ahem*)

"A little help please?" Shippou whimpered.

"Oh my god!" gasped Kagome. "Shippou!"

Inuyasha made an attack but was stopped by a giant boomerang that he barely had time to dodge from. The boomerang returned to the trees, as did the feline with Shippou still hanging from her teeth. All looked up to see the neko stand next to a shadowed figure.

"Let him go right now!" Inuyasha demanded.

The shadowed figure held a daggar to Shippou's plump cheek. "Are you really in a position to be giving me orders? I'd be careful of what comes out of that big mouth of yours if you don't want the boy to be my friend's breakfast."

"Dammit," Inuyasha spat. "Just who are you and what do you want?"

The figure stepped into the light, but the face was still hidden by a mask. "Who am I? I'm the person that wants you dead."

"It's a Demon Slayer!" exclaimed Miroku.

"It's a she," stated Kagome.

"So it is," the monk said with a smile. "So it is."

Sango jumped from the tree and so the battle began. Inuyasha drew his Tethseida (sorry about spelling) which clashed against Sango's weapon.

"Not bad for a girl!" said Inuyasha.

"Just don't cry later on because you were beaten by a woman," Sango snapped.

"You know it's funny, it seems that I've become so popular lately, everyone wants a shot at me."

Ignoring the comment, Sango addressed Kagome, "Young girl, priest, run while you can. I'll take care of him."

"What?" exclaimed Inuyasha and Kagome simultaniously.

"Keeping these two as prisoners so you can eat and have a punching bag is cruel!"

"Yes, Inuyasha! How could you!" exclaimed Miroku.

"Hey!" said Inuyasha glaring at the monk before dodging another attack from the demon slayer. "You know very well-

"That you were planning to keep us as slaves? Yes! Thank Budah for this angel!"

"Oh please," moaned Kagome. "C'mon Miroku, we have to help Inuyasha."

"But he deserves what he's getting you got to admit. Nothing you say will change my mind."

"You want to eat another meal?"

"...fine..." Miroku pouted.

Kagome drew her bo and arrow and fired it between Sango and Inuyasha. Sango moved away enough to dodge the attack and for Miroku to restrain her from behind.

"Let go of me!" she demanded.

"Sorry," said Miroku, "but not until you get your facts straight."

Miroku then rubbed Sango's ass and she first elbowed him in the gut and then whirled around and punched him with an angry flush. Once that was taken care of, seeing the man had been imobilized she turned her attention to Inuyasha.

"Please don't!" Kagome begged. "Inuyasha didn't abduct us!"

"Oh, and I'm supposed to believe you're with him on account of your own free will."

"That's right."

"That's absurd! And what of you, priest?" Sango said pointing to him. "Do you go about blessing this demon's actions before he goes killing others?

"Hey, I resent that sarcastic remark of yours and for your information I'm a monk."

"I didn't see much of a difference a moment ago, PRIEST," Sango huffed.

"Could you please put Shippou down?" Kagome asked.

"Why the hell are you asking her nicely?" Inuyasha demanded. "She just tried to kill me, or did you forget?!"

"It was a misunderstanding! She thought she was protecting me from you!"

"Heh, I think she just found out I'm not the one she should be worried about."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Miroku asked.

"Whatever you want it to PRIEST!"

Miroku calmly whacked Inuyasha's head with the staff he held in his hand. "I apologize for his rude behavior Lady..."

"Sango. My name is Sango. Kirara, you may put him down."

As soon as he was released, Shippou ran and hid behind Kagome, quivering in fear. "It tried to eat me!"

"Well," said Inuyasha, "as much as I'd like to stay I think we should be going.

"I will accompany you," said Sango.

"Good...hey wait a sec!"

"I find it inappropriate for this girl Kagome to travel with three men."

Miroku and Inuyasha looked at eachother and then down at Shippou. "Ummm..."

"Shut up!" Shippou mumbled.

Miroku held up a hand and said, "I meant to imply nothing Shippou, it's all Inuyasha's doing.

Sango spotted something familiar about the monk. Those blue beads on his hands...and then it hit her like a ton of bricks falling from the top of a mountain.

"It's you!" she exclaimed pointing at the monk. Everyone else blinked in confusion. "You were the one spying on me!"

Surprise surprise. End of chapter three. A reviewer mentioned the fact that Sango having a demon as a partner completely contradicts Sango's beliefs. I know that and I'm working on an explanation for that further along in the story. I don't like to have loose ends when I'm writing, so if their was any concern on that matter, rest assured.
