InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Fallen Samurai ❯ Chapter 4 ( Chapter 4 )

DISCLAIMOR: I THINK THIS ISN'T NEEDED ANYMORE....

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

Sango leaped up and tackled Miroku, sending him flat on his stomach to the hard earth. She dug her knee into his back, clutching his arms.

"What?" asked Miroku through gritted teeth. "What are you talking about?"

"Don't play innocent with me!" Sango growled. "Do the words hot spring mean anything to you?"

"Should it? Owww!"

After being kneed in the spine he somehow flipped her over on her back and before she could react, he was over her. Sango glared at him and Miroku took off her mask.

"Ah yes," he said with a smile. "I remember you."

"You thought I wouldn't figure it out didn't you? I knew I'd fine you so I could kill you!"

"It's nice to be thought of so intensely."

"Get off my priest!"

"Is that any way to speak to a servent of Budah? And I've said this a million times I'm a monk."

"And as I said, I didn't see much of a difference, MONK."

Miroku frowned. "Well at lest we're coming to more friendlier terms Lady Sango."

"Get the hell off me. As in now."

"For such disrespect, I'll have to put you over my knee and spank you."

"Oh Lord!" Kagome moaned.

Furious, Sango kneed him in the falmily jewels. "Dream on Monk. You might as well be a demon." She walked over to Kagome. "Now I know for certain Kagome needs my protection."

"She's got me for that!" snapped Inuyasha.

"Oh Inuyasha!" said Kagome. "You're willing to protect me?"

"The hell with that," Sango spat. "I don't trust demons. That goes the same for half-breeds."

"That's big talk for a demon slayer who has a cat demon for a pet," Inuyasha sneered. Kirara stepped forward and hissed at the hanyou. "Then again it's good we have ya to keep Miroku in line."

"Dammit!" cursed Miroku, who was still bent over. "Excuse my language." Then standing up straighter and smoothing out his hair he continued, "Don't be so high and mighty Inuyasha. She gave you a bit of a bashing too!"

"Good! We finally have someone in the group who can do that!" Kagome declared.

"Yep," said Shippou, "they both need the discipline."

Sango stood silent, confused as to exactly why they were letting her in their so-called 'group'. It was an odd group at that: a demon, a 1/2 dog demon, a priest or monk or whatever the hell he was, and a young girl with strange wardrobe.

Kirara downsized to a kitten and jumped on Sango's shoulder. Shippou blinked a few times at her in disbelief that this little thing tried to eat him.

"Shall we have breakfast then?" Sango asked.

Inuyasha and Miroku immediately stopped fighting and said simultaneously, "We're hungry."

"Good. There's a river nearby so let's go."

"Since when do you give the orders?" demanded Inuyasha.

"I'm not. It only sounds logical that we go to the river for fresh water for cooking right?"

"Yea Inuyasha," said Kagome picking up her bag, "no need to get so uptight. She's only trying to help.

"He's just steamed because there's another girl in the group," said Miroku. "Personally, I don't mind it at all."

"You would," said Shippou. Miroku sweatdropped.

"Got a problem with girls, Inuyasha?" asked Kagome.

"No! I just don't need any distractions, you know while we're trying to kill Naraku?"

"So I'm a distraction?!!"

The argument that would have rised from that coment would have been under way, if it wasn't interrupted by the sudden thump of Sango's Hirakotsu falling to the ground.

"N...Naraku?" she asked.

The others turned to look at her. There was fear and anger in her eyes, as if the name had control over her life. As if the very mention of the name would set her soul in a fury, completely unrest. In fact....

"You okay, Sango?" Kagome asked.

Sango shook her head. "Nothing...it's nothing.."

They sat by the river eating leftover ramen. Yipee for Inuyasha who pratically inhaled his meal.

"Tell me Inuyasha," Sango started, starring at her food, "what's this about killing Naraku?"

"I have my reasons. What's it to you?"

"Nothing."

"Why do you ask Sango?" Kagome asked.

"Yea, do you know Naraku?" asked Shippou.

"It's a personal matter," said Sango. "But I can assure you, it will be I slaying Naraku, not Inuyasha."

The others were dumbfounded at the announcement. She said it with such determination and with fixture in her eyes. Sango gave the rest of her meal to Kirara.

"You got guts, wench," said Inuyasha. Sango glared at him for what he had called her, but he continued, "but that won't be enough to beat Naraku. I've gotten away with the skin of my teeth and I'm a hanyou. You're just a mortal."

"I too have faced him!" Sango declared. "Are you saying that since you're a hanyou and you couldn't defeat him that it would take a full youkai to kill him?"

"No! I can kill him!"

"Well if a hanyou has a chance of killing him than so do I!"

Inuyasha was speechless, for once, and continued eating. Sango excused herself to wash her dish. A few minutes later Miroku followed.

"There he goes," said Shippou. "Should we stop him?"

"I think Sango has proven to us many times that she can take care of herself," said Kagome with a smile.
