InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Playboy ❯ Master Plan ( Chapter 3 )

[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]

A/N1: Updates: As of the 12th of January I have begun school, and I am currently taking 13 hours. I also have two jobs, one night and one in the early mornings on weekends. I do not get home from work until 1 or2 in the morning and my first class in at 8 or 10 depending on the day. That may sound like plenty of sleep time, but after you've been up 17 hours or so 6-8 hours of sleep isn't enough. I will and do write when I can. And I will get the chapters out as soon as possible, but I can not guarantee my updates with any regularity. If it makes you feel better to harass me, go a head, but I doubt it will help.

A/N2: Plagiarism: It seems as of late that plagiarism is at an all time high. Why, I don't know. But the fact remains that it is. With this rise there also seems to be a rise is the accusation of plagiarism, some of the accused being well known and respected authors. I myself have been approached on this issues by two separate people for two different reasons, and thought I should address my answer to all.

What Plagiarism is: Plagiarism is the unauthorized use of someone else's thoughts or words. This means that if you copy a story word-for-word, line-for-line, and/or scene-for-scene, you are plagiarizing.

What Plagiarism is not: Plagiarism is not similarity in setting, theme, or even plot. There are 5-6 billion people in the world, the chances of you coming up with a completely, totally, never before heard of idea, are next to nill. For an example, JadeWing's story 'Transcending A Dynasty' and my story 'Foundations of Neo Genesis' are both set in the future of Earth. Does this mean I am plagiarizing JadeWing? No, the stories, while they do share a similar setting, are very different. Neither JadeWing nor I have a copyright on 'The-future-of Earth' theme or setting. I hope this clears up some of the confusion that seems to be going on. (On a side note, if you haven't read 'Transcending A Dynasty', go do that. It is an amazing story. You don't even have to search for it, just go to my bio page then my favorite stories list.)

Chapter 3: Master Plan

"Kagome you are calling him and telling him you aren't going!" Miroku ordered as he shoved the phone into his sister's hand. Kagome sighed and put the phone back in its cradle. Her brother frowned and reached for it again.

"Really Miroku!" Kagome batted his hand away. "I know what I'm doing."

"No, Kagome, I don't think you do."

"If you aren't going to help Miroku, then leave."

"I'm not letting my little sister throw herself to the dogs!" Kagome was about to retort when the doorbell sang through the house.

"Thank god, that probably Sango here to help me make the plan." She jumped up and hurried down the stairs. Miroku stayed at her heel every step of the way. Kagome thanks her lucky star that her mother and grandfather were out, because her older brother was now talking about how hard it would be if she got pregnant. Kagome sighed as he opened the door to her friend.

"Sango please tell her this is crazy!" Miroku begged.

"Miroku, you're over reacting." Sango replied calmly, "Has he been like this all day?"

"Yes."

"Poor thing."

"Let's get to work." Miroku opened his mouth to protest once again but Kagome rounded on him sharply. "You can help or stay out, Miroku. But you're not talking me out of this. So which will it be?" Miroku's shoulders slumped in defeat. He knew his sister and if she had set her mind to something, there was no stopping her.

"All right Kag, I'll help you. But I want it noted that I do so under protest."

"Protest noted. Now let's get to work." Kagome led the way back up to her room. Miroku brought up the rear shaking his head. When they got there, Kagome flopped down on the bed, Sango took the desk chair, and Miroku was left to sit in his sister's pink beanbag chair. "So what do we know about Inuyasha?"

"He's a playboy, he's going to hurt you, he might get you pregnant…"

"Miroku! Helpful things." Kagome scolded her brother.

"Fine. From what I've heard about him, he always knows what to say to make a girl melt. Though there are some that find him too romantic, his looks make up for it. He's had a string of girlfriends a mile long, most have been left in the dirt. But I did hear about one that's still pretty obsessive. She attacked one girl who dated him. I think he got a restraining order."

"He got a restraining order?" Sango asked in amazement, "He seems the type to love someone like that."

"Hey every guy has his limits. Maybe she is a real whack-job, or has some sort of weird fetish he can't deal with."

"So if he becomes too close think of something strange." Kagome took a note on the pad in her lap.

"And of course you don't want to give into him at all." Sango added. Kagome nodded as she took note of that as well.

"Actually…" Miroku began, both girls looked at him. The older Higurashi clamped his hands over his mouth.

"Miroku…" Kagome's voice held an edge of warning. Miroku shook his head vigorously. Kagome gave him a far too cheerful smile before turning to face Sango. "Hey Sango, did you know that under Miroku's bed is-"

"Ok you win!" Miroku yelled over his sister before she could reveal anything to the other girl. Kagome smiled at her older brother again as his shoulders slumped. "Ok, if you are going to keep him long enough to break his heart, you have to throw him a bone. He'll leave if he thinks he's not going to get anything."

"Ok, don't completely shut him out." Kagome noted.

"But don't get pregnant either." Miroku added.

"Don't you ever get tired of harping on the same thing?" Sango asked, "It's not like Kagome is easy or anything."

"I know that!" Miroku snapped, "But what kind of brother would I be if I didn't worry."

"So far all we have is your basic player with a fear of anything too weird." Kagome muttered. "Now how am I going to break his heart?"

"Over the phone like he does to all those other girls." Sango answered, "but not until you have him completely wrapped around your little finger so it will hurt even to look at you. Then turn around and start dating some one else immediately, like Hojo."

"Sango you are a cruel woman." Miroku added, "Remind me to stay on your good side."

The conversation went on for several more hours. They discussed strategies for avoiding his advances, ways to parry his wit, and how to keep him coming back for more without giving into his wooing. Kagome found herself assuring Miroku she would not swoon more often then anything else. Sango never did find out what was under Miroku's bed, but she had her suspicions. And in a final attempt to pacify her older brother, Kagome agreed to one double date with Sango and the guy of her choice. They were just finishing when the phone rang. Kagome reached over to answer it.

"Hello, Higurashi residence, Kagome speaking."

"Hey babe." Came the answer.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome almost yelped in surprise, "I was just thinking about you."

"I was just wondering what movie you wanted to see?" Inuyasha asked as he flipped through the pages of the newspaper to the movie listings.

"Well I - hey!" Inuyasha took the phone away from his ear as the sound of a struggle broke out. "Miroku! Give that back!" This was followed by a loud crash as if the phone had hit something solid. There was laugher from a female voice that was not Kagome and a loud 'Ow! Kagome that hurt' from a male voice. Finally "Miroku if don't let me up this instant!"

"Hello?" The male came across the phone.

"Hello…?"

"So you are the guy taking my little sister out." It was not a question. In the background he could hear Kagome making threats of bodily harm and something about a bedroom.

"Yeah…" Inuyasha replied slowly. His experience so far with elder brothers had been limited, but he had found them very protective at times. So far he had not come across one he could not lick if need be, but they did prove irritating at times, like now for example.

"So where are you taking her? What are you going to do? Who will witness your date? When will you have her home?"

"That was why I called." Inuyasha said dryly as he sat back against his couch. He could see this was going to take some time. From what he could hear of Kagome, her brother was now sitting on her. She in turn was proclaiming that she would make sure she was never an aunt.

"Really. And what did you have in mind?"

"A movie."

"Horror?"

"No. Comedy, but if she wants a horror movie I have no problem with it."

"Rated R I assume."

"I was going to let her choose."

"Miroku if you don't get off me this instant! Sango stop laughing and help me!" Kagome's voice cut into the conversation.

"And you aren't going to give her anything alcoholic."

"Damn. I can't have beer with my movie. I was going to bring her some wine too." Inuyasha let sarcasm drip from his voice. "No, we won't be drinking." He muttered a 'dumbass' under his breath.

"And what about - hey! Ouch Kagome! Sango! Hey, don't! That shouldn't been that way!" Inuyasha held the phone away from his ear again, waiting patiently for the siblings to finish their struggle over the phone. There was a series of thumps that he assumes was Kagome banging Miroku's phone clasping hand into the floor. There was the sound of something heavy being dragged across the floor, then the sound of a door opening a shutting. After another short pause…

"Hello?" Kagome asked sweetly, "Are you still there?"

"Sure am babe."

"Sorry about my brother, he's an idiot."

"That's ok. So what movie was it you wanted to see?"
