InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Just Pretend ❯ Torment Miroku ( Chapter 3 )

Summary: Basically Inuyasha is single and quite happy with his life until his dad becomes more nagging then usual about him settling in. He comes up with this stupid idea involving Kagome being his fiancée. See where this is leading? If you don't read to find out… and if you do read anyways.

Flare4ever: Actually I have seen most of the series [manga too]… ive downloaded so many episodes ive basically received hell every time my mom sees the electricity bill ^_^; it just seemed that only Kagome's family was a bit on the odd side [NO OFFENSE!] I mean isn't Inuyasha's mother like a princess or something and his dad's a demon and in the 3rd movie preview [haven't seen it *weeps* but I will as soon as it's out as a download online] they seemed very um …mature-ish? Then again that could be me thinking too. I guess we both do alotta thinking ^_^

A/N: Thank you to everyone else that reviewed! Remember your reflection on my story is very, VERY important to me, so don't hesitate to tell me what you think but don't just something like 'its stupid' the end and no reason why [I don't know why it's stupid and I don't know how to improve it]. You guys keep me fueled with hope that I'll reach the finish line! [Did that make sense? Whatever you'll figure it out]

Sorry I just realized that italics don't work when I upload so for thinking I'll do it with these brackets [ ] so very sorry! But if anyone knows why and how they can get it to work PLEASE! Tell me!

Oh by the way I completely forgot to mention before that I do own Inuyasha, the books that is and some of the DVDs and little plush dolls and maybe some of the wall scrolls, all the typical fan stuff but owning the actual rights to it and all that other good stuff, sadly belongs to Rumiko Takahashi -_-;

Another thing I forgot to mention, Inuyasha is not a hanyou sadly but just a normal human being [but have no fear, he is still equally sexy! ^_^; and Sesshomaru who might show up later on is also a human [with natural silver hair! Sorry Sesshy with black hair doesn't seem right and for any of you that think it would look cool, I'm sorry.]

"Talking"

Chapter 3: Torment Miroku

Inuyasha P.O.V

Boy did my parents bring alotta stuff. They could probably move here with all the stuff they brought. Why the hell would they have to bring so much stuff? What the hell would you do with all this stuff? That was what plagued my mind as we exited out of the airport, I had a ton hovering over my back since they ran out of the damn little carts and to topthings off we had to pried Kagome and my mother away from the little shops. Simpler said than done. I swear shopping does things to people.

We had to take two taxis back in order to transfer all the stuff to our place I was a little nervous about where all the stuff would be stored when we reached our destination considering the place was small enough as it was. Well naturally, I sat with Kagome and my parents sat in another car. The seating capacity was a bit small considering all the luggage compacted into the trunk, front seat and half of the back seat. I still couldn't figure out why my parents would bring so much stuff? I just don't get it damnit!

Normal P.O.V

On the way back Kagome and Inuyasha just sat quietly not exchanging any words. They were so close they were basically sitting on top of each other. Kagome was the only one to really noticed and tried to get as far up away from the him the luggage would allow, but whenever she did Inuyasha would only move over more to make himself more comfortable. Eventually she gave up once she was basically on top of some of the luggage. It was then she noticed how quiet it was the only thing she could hear was the taxi driver blabbing to himself asking them questions not really caring if they answered or not.

[Its way too quiet! Come on think of something to say Kagome! Ah got something] "Its going pretty well, isn't it Inuyasha?" Kagome asked quickly out of the blue.

"Yea" Inuyasha said staring out the window at the passing scenery.

[Damnit Inuyasha! You could say something else!] "Well I get the feeling they do buy into our act; the only thing I'm worried about is how everyone else will react." Kagome said trying to keep the conversation alive. "I mean it's so sudden, at least Sango and Miroku are in on it or they'd probably give us hell"

Suddenly Inuyasha's reflection on the window winced [Oh damn! She's gonna hammer me for this] "um yea about that Kagome? I didn't tell them and we can't really tell them" Inuyasha turned to show Kagome a rather sweet lopsided smile but instead came face to face with something he'd rather have avoided.

"AND WHY THE HELL NOT!" Kagome shrieked, her face suddenly looked twenty sizes bigger. "Inuyasha!" Kagome said shaking with anger "you have ANY, ANY idea what you have brought upon us?"

"I'm sorry, really, really sorry!" [Jeez I didn't think she'd overreact this much!] "We can't tell Miroku cause he'll probably spill the beans if you bribe him, I hear he's struggling and well Sango is a really bad actor and you know how she goes off about everyone when she gets drunk. So I conclude that we just keep it as it is." Inuyasha finished proudly awaiting Kagome's expression.

Kagome could only sign after realizing that Inuyasha was probably right, but still decided to pound him anyways. [How did I get myself into this?] Kagome thought depressingly as their taxi pulled to a brief halt with a 'sleeping' Inuyasha slumped over his seat.

Sango P.O.V

This morning I was rudely awake by Kagome and Inuyasha as they left for the airport to go pick up Inuyasha's parents. I had the day off from work so I decided I would make the house a little tidier for the sake of Inuyasha's image, not that it really would have mattered. I mean it doesn't take that long to figure out how much of a slob, Inuyasha really can be. I mean he had to have lived with them some point in his life.

I slowly made my way downstairs only to find Miroku flirting with the package delivery lady. I quickly rushed in front of him, thanked the lady who seemed quite relieved to have an excuse to leave and as soon as she did I turned around and slapped him hard.

"Sango-chaan! There are other ways to express your love for me you know?" Miroku told me while rubbing his cheek.

"Miroku" I told warningly

"Hai, hai I'll be in my room then" He said in somewhat of a sulking as he made his way up the stairs and about halfway there turned back to look at me "by the way is that a Canterbury chemise from Victoria Secret?" he said slyly before running to his room and left me there completely red after realizing I had forgotten to change.

This is why I sometimes wonder why I live here. Miroku, Inuyasha, and Kagome can't seem to afford to be able to live alone or some other reason they won't seem to share but I on the other hand, I would be inheriting my family's very successful extermination business. I suppose it would just be too lonely living alone, anyways if I wasn't around who would protect all the passing girls from Miroku. Okay don't know where that came from but I guess in the end the truth is I really do like it here, there's never a dull moment. Actually with Miroku around dull moments are always welcome.

So there I was spending my morning cleaning after I got changed anyways while Miroku left for his room to prepare for some job interviews. Seemingly, he had just gotten fired from his previous job for groping his boss's daughter. Sadly the poor idiot can't keep his hands to himself for anything. Now the odd reason he's never been able to keep a secure job seems a bit more apparent.

Miroku P.O.V

Seriously I don't think it was really necessary to fire me. Jeez, whoever knew money was so hard to earn these days. Well now I'm back to ground zero browsing through pointless ads, until usually one pops up and ends up being as stupid as the rest. It's as if right on cue an ad captures my complete attention. Hmm…looks like they're looking for a male striper, one that can entertain and show what it really means to part-ay and when I thought this job couldn't get any better it didn't. After completely finishing the ad, I cringe and dropped any earlier interest. Why does this happen? It's like the world is out to get me. Just when I think something good is about to come my way it turns out to be for gays. This is depressing.

I paged through more ads when I heard the vacuum start down on the level below me and knew Sango was cleaning the house again, she's so neat it's scary. But this was my chance! I had been planning this for months. I looked up at the small pencil hole I had carefully carved into a side of my wall and smiled. I quietly opened my door and when the coast was clear, quickly snuck into Sango's room which was conveniently right next to mine.

The room I had just entered was painted a plain, boring beige color and the only furniture in the room was a bed, a desk, a drawer, and a laptop. Where were the huge idol posters I imagined? The ones NORMAL girls had? Well I suppose being- how is she? Twenty-eight I guess you tend to lose interest in those things. Now my hopes of creating a hole for peeping, well I wouldn't exactly call it that, crumbled. Although I did see something that did catch my eye; it was a picture of what looked like a younger version of Sango with a younger man standing next to her hands wrapped around each other, smiling. As I walked over to the desk I couldn't help but noticed the chemise Sango had on earlier. I tried to resist temptation but I couldn't. I just had to see what company made it. I quickly flicked the back over, ha-ha! I knew it was from Victoria Secret. My attention adverted back to the picture, disgusting! How can Sango be interested in younger guys? I was a little on the side of pissed off and probably didn't notice myself slamming the sharp object in my hand right into the ground that somehow struck my foot.

I cried out in complete agony as I slumped down on Sango's bed trying to sooth my purple foot. That was when I realized it had gotten very quiet, very sudden and it was then I noticed the squeaking floorboards, followed by Sango's voice calling for me. I cussed silently as I hobbled over to the door and was about to open it when I remembered that I didn't take my screwdriver with me.

I quickly picked it up and went back to the door, I was about to open the door when it opened itself and slammed full speed towards my lurching head. That was the last thing I remembered before everything went black.

^___^

I slowly forced my eyes open trying to focus the blurry setting before me and it was then the actual impact of what seem to be a blow the head take effect. I had the honor of both the presences of a horrible headache and a seemly not very pleasant looking Sango. "So tell me Miroku-san whatever are you doing in my room?" Sango asked sweetly bending over to look me right in the eye, her glowing magenta orbs shinning brightly.

I was at a loss of words and before I knew it I was caressing Sango's oh so wonderful butt. I guess they don't call it natural reflexes for nothing. I only heard Sango shriek HENTAI which I obviously am not; I'm just a very healthy man with rather lively hormones. The next thing I saw was Sango's hand, connect hard against his face and then everything went black a second time. Sometimes life could be so unfair

Normal P.O.V

"Why that pervert!" Sango huffed angrily. [He never learns!] Then she took another glance at him and felt a little sorry for what she had just done [damn what's wrong with you? Now you're feeling sorry for a hentai. Maybe staying in this place has caused some permanent damage.] Feeling satisfied with the explanation she gave herself, she continued to drag Miroku back to his room

^___^

Kagome softly shook Inuyasha "Hey, we're here" she whispered

"No, five more minutes!" Inuyasha pouted before shifting into another position.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome hissed, but Inuyasha dismissed her call and continued to sleep. Kagome had come to the end of her string; she quickly smacked Inuyasha awake telling him that they were back.

"Damn wrench didn't have to hit that hard did you?" Inuyasha mumbled angrily as he got out of the taxi.

"Sorry, what did you call me dear?" Kagome said sweetly.

"I called you a w-" Inuyasha stopped in mid sentence seeing his mother emerge from behind him. Inuyasha's mother smiled "Inuyasha please finish I don't want to hold you from your conversation."

"It's alright our um conversation can wait…" Inuyasha said nervously hoping his mother hadn't been behind him the whole time.

A/N: Does anyone know Inuyasha's mother's name? Please if you do tell me. ^_^

"No Inuyasha I INSIST!"

For a moment Inuyasha stalled then he cleared his throat "yes, uh where was I? Um… I mean Kagome I can't stop telling how w-w-w-wonderful you are uh in uh bed?" Inuyasha finished taking a breath of relief. Kagome however was quite flustered [Mental Note: Kill Inuyasha!]

*giggles* "well it's nice to see such lively couples"

^__^

When she returned to her own room she noticed a screwdriver and a picture of her next to it. She slowly walked over and picked up the picture. She turned it over to face up and smiled sadly at the photo before walking over to set it back to its original spot. She was about to continue cleaning when she stepped on top a hard object. Before picking up the object, she stringed up a nice line of cusses and stalked over to Miroku's room. [What has that hentai been up to?!]

^__^

A/N: I = Inuyasha, K = Kagome, S = Sango, M = Miroku in case of confusion whose thinking what when their in a group.

At about the same time Inuyasha appeared in the doorway with a junk load of stuff as Kagome and his parent's followed. [I: When will Sango ever quit? What a waste of time. The house is only gonna be a mess again. Stupid girl]

^__^

Miroku had just begun to regain consciousness just in time for Sango's appearance at the entry way of his room. It was then that Sango first noticed a strange hole that lead to the wall in her room. Miroku sluggishly sat up and smiled [M: Think quick Miroku] "So Sango you like my peep sake hole? It's for keeping my very special pencils" he said smoothly and was about to continue but decided to stop when he saw Sango's knuckles turn white griping the screwdriver he had left in her room. "MIROKU!" Sango screamed right before an audible thud was heard from the floor below.

Kagome and Inuyasha laughed nervously [I: Shit not good] [K: Why now, Sango?!]. They both watched Inuyasha's parents shrug it off as if was nothing at all and proceeded to take small bags of luggage. [K: *sweat drop* Wow, they seem even more carefree than mom…]

A/N: That was the longest chapter I have ever written in my life. I guess I'll have to break my promise that I'll make things go faster. I have to stick with this pace for now it just flows better for me. I hope none of you guys mind. Hope I'm still living up to the story's standard. Ja! O R&R!
