InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Snow White and the Seven 'Dwarfs'...Sort of ❯ Twitchy ( Chapter 38 )

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

AN: I’m really sorry this update is late, again. I had some problems writing the new chapter and then my beta quit which made things harder. But I found a new one, so everything’s good now.
My Name is R.C- Thank you! You liked the lemon? Thank God, I wasn't sure if I liked it. It was only my third time writing one. And I wasn’t really sure if I should be throwing in humor with it, but it worked so yay me. And I’m really sorry about the late updates; I haven’t given up on this story. I’ve always been a little slow but it’s gotten worse since my beta quit and I can’t get anyone to yell at me to get working. Hope you had a good birthday, please enjoy the new chapter. (I was really scared about posting it because I had almost no ideas and no one to say if it was good or sucked.)
Kagome1322- Well I guess you’re going to find out sooner or later what it means, right? Yeah, and I know I’ve been focusing too much on other couples and not Kag/Inu. But they’ve been really busy, Kag training and learning how to use her powers while Inuyasha’s been annoying Kikyo. Don’t worry, I promise I’ll try to get some Inu/Kag fluff next chapter.
Mynera- Thank you! (Blush)
Japanese Dreamer- Well you’ll see what happens with Soten later. Thanks for reviewing, and I’m so sorry about the late update.
Mediaminer
Mischievous-Angel- That’s all right, someone else suggested an idea I’m going to use. Thanks for reviewing even though you’re tired.
OrlandoLover- Thank you!
And without more interruptions, here is Snow White and the Seven Dwarf’s . . . Sort of.
Disclaimer- I don’t own Inuyasha or Snow White, and I am making no money off this story.

Seven

"Do I have to wear this?" Jakotsu asked, sounding disgusted as he held the outfit away from him like it smelled bad.

Bankotsu paused in wrapping his sword in a straw mat, looking up to glare at him. "Yes." He gritted his teeth, trying not to let his annoyance show and failing badly.

Jakotsu pouted. "But it's so ugly! How can you make me go out in public like this Bankotsu?" he whined.

Rin looked the clothing over jealously, wishing she could wear a loose, comfortable gi and roomy pants like her men and not her constricting kimono. "Stop complaining and put it on, I still need to do your hair before we get to the city." Rin ordered him.

Jakotsu's eyes went wide and he protectively covered his messy bun, "What's wrong with my hair?" he demanded, sounding panicked.
"A straight man would not wear his hair like that. Besides, I'm sure Naraku has spies posted looking for people of our description, we can't look like ourselves." Rin reminded him, missing the weight of her daggers at her hips. Thank Kami she had grabbed Sango's wrist blades before she left, though it might have been a good idea to tell her she was taking them...

Rin blinked as a thought occurred to her. Slowly she smiled sweetly at Jakotsu. "Jakotsu," she began. "I've heard Sesshomaru loves spending time with warriors wearing his house colors, it shows how loyal they are to him, and look! You have white and red clothing!" Rin announced, like she actually knew what Sesshomaru's house colors were.

Jakotsu immediately brightened. "Really? Do you think he'll want to spend more time with me?" he asked eagerly.

Rin nodded, trying to look serious. "It's worth a try. And you remember what Sesshomaru said? He doesn't sleep with his workers, this might be your only chance." she urged him.

Jakotsu puffed up his chest. "Thanks boss, now I'm off to win Lord Cutie's heart!" he announced, taking his clothes and bouncing away to change into them.

Rin shook her head in amusement while Bankotsu ducked his head and tried not to laugh. They both looked up when they heard a soft sigh. "Why do I have the feeling you've offered me as the sacrificial lamb to Jakotsu?" Sesshomaru asked as he stepped inside the small hut, using a different entrance then Jakotsu.

Rin blinked, her mouth watering at the sight of him. Damn it, it wasn't fair that man would still look so good dressed like a simple samurai! The long, beautiful hair she longed to touch was gathered up on top of head, streaming down in a silver wave. His white gi was a little to small for him, showing off flashes of strong chest while his legs were hidden under the yards of green material for his pants. He had somehow covered his regal markings so he only looked like a simple demon warrior, but he hadn't done anything with his golden eyes, so they still ripped into her soul like he was seeing inside her.

Rin finally swallowed, "I see you found clothing that fit you off one of the villagers?" she asked weakly while fuming inside. He should look ugly and plain right now! Not hot enough she wanted to jump him and do things innocent little virgins weren't suppose to know even after eavesdropping on the other female's conversations. He gave her one small nod, still studying her.

"So have you, I see."

Rin tugged at her kimono. It wasn't the best piece of clothing, but it would do to disguise her. It was white with blue flowers, long sleeves and had a blue obi. She had her hair up with two very slim daggers that looked like hairpins. If need be she could snatch them out of her hair and into an attackers throat or temple. She had Sango's wrist knifes attached to her, hidden under her sleeves and her daggers on her legs. It would take some effort to get to them in a hurry, but they were still there if she needed them.

Rin cleared her throat, not sure why Sesshomaru was still staring intently at her. "Have Renko and Suikotsu found clothing?" she asked mildly, wanting to fill the quiet air.

Sesshomaru nodded once, "They were changing into them when I finished." he told her and finally took his gaze off her to watch Bankotsu finish tying the mat around his sword and throw it easily over his shoulder.

"We need to head out once Jakotsu puts on his clothes; the city is still half an hour away on foot." Bankotsu reminded them. "And then we need to find a way to get to the palace and see what's going on there."

Rin nodded in agreement. "Maybe one of us should be peasants looking for a job there? I'm sure with all of Naraku's generals and military officials in the castle they could use extra help." Rin offered.

Bankotsu considered the idea for a moment. "That could work. But I was thinking as sending in some of us as soldiers."

Rin shook her head. "No way in hell. Naraku knows Seven is back, he's warned his people about us. You wouldn't get pass them for more then a day." she argued.

Bankotsu frowned and opened his mouth to reply before Jakotsu came flouncing in, "Ta da!" he announced turning in a circle so Rin, Bankotsu and Sess could admire him. He slowly smiled at Sess, fluttering his lashes. "So Lord Cutie, What do you think?" he asked, reaching back to twirl a loose lock of hair around his finger suggestively.

Sesshomaru didn't even blink. "I think I need to go see about acquiring horses." he told them and ducked out of the hut to escape from Jakotsu.

Jakotsu's mouth fell open. "Wait!" he cried, running for the door if it wasn't for Rin's hand at the sleeve of his shirt, stopping him.

"Sit down Jakotsu; we need to do something about your hair." Rin told him calmly, reaching up to loosen his bun.

He pouted and dropped to the ground, resting his chin in his fist dejectedly. "Why can't anyone ever love me?" he moaned.
Rin tugged playfully on strand of hair she was holding. "You never ask for love, you ask for sex." she reminded him. "And besides, I love you; you and Seven are like my older brothers." She told him absently, focusing more on pulling all his hair to the top of his head.

Jakotsu quieted, surprised by the admission. "Thanks boss. We love you to." he told her quietly, sounding almost serious for once.

"Yeah," Bankotsu added softly, staring at the walls.

The stopped talking while Rin pulling his hair into a high ponytail while he sat there patiently.

"You know Rin," he began when she was finishing tying a strip of leather around his hair. "I think Cutie was checking me out when I first came in before covering it." he told her slyly.


"Maybe I should look into having more red and white clothes."

Rin smirked, "I know, why don’t you cover the purple tattoos with red paint?" she suggested.

"Why is he putting red paint on his cheeks?" Sesshomaru asked, stepping into the hut with Suikotsu and Renkotsu at his back, dressed in peasant clothing.

"To make you hot for-" Rin's hand slapped over Jakotsu's mouth, blocking whatever idiotic thing he was going to say next.

"He's just getting bored with purple, that's all." she said cheerfully. "Did you get any horses?"

Renkotsu nodded. "The village was only able to sell us one, but if we put you and another one of us up on it, we can pretend that man is your husband, and we your friends and servants moving with you to another village where we spend the night in this city. The next day we change identities and move on to another inn." He repeated the plan they had decided on the night before.

Had it only been last night they made their decision to move ahead? Rin wondered. It had barely taken any time at all to find themselves out of the forest and on a road, going to a village that owed Seven a few favors and who would gladly help them.

Kami, she hoped she wasn't in over her head.

She pushed her thoughts away, wanting to pay attention to where she was now. "So...which one of you is going to become my husband?" Rin asked lightly.

"I will." Sesshomaru and Bankotsu said at the same time, before glaring at the other.

"I'll pretend to be her husband." Bankotsu said, "You're only here to observe us, remember?" he reminded him.

Sesshomaru nodded. "Exactly, I will stay out of the way on the horse so if any fights break out, I will observe how all of you fight together." he said smoothly.

Bankotsu cursed and looked at Rin. "Rin, tell him you don't want him to do this." Bankotsu ordered.

"Yes Rin, tell your guard your feelings on this." Sesshomaru added.

Rin blinked, feeling slightly dazed. She looked over at Jakotsu and yanked him over. "I want Jakotsu!" she told them, only to have Jakotsu yelp and leap away from her.

"Are you crazy? I'm not getting in between the two of them!" he shrieked.

Rin glared at him, and looked back at the two males looking at her. She sighed and rubbed the back of her neck. "Can't we flip a coin or something?"

Later-

Rin sat on front of the horse, Jakotsu walking to the right of her, Renkotsu to the left and Suikotsu and Bankotsu at the rear. Sesshomaru was practically radiating smugness at her back.

The stupid jerk, just because he won the coin toss didn’t mean he had to hold her so closely against her chest!

Though feeling the heat from his skin and having his arms wrapped around her was rather nice.

"Are we there yet?" Jakotsu broke through her thoughts, sounding irate. "Any more walking and I’m not going to get the dirt out of my hair for weeks." he
complained.

Rin could almost hear Bankotsu’s teeth grinding from behind her, "We’ll be there soon." Bankotsu repeated for the 593rd time.

"When’s soon?" Jakotsu questioned.

"Soon."

Rin winced slightly. Bankotsu had been in a bad mood ever since he lost the coin toss.

But really, what was so bad having Sesshomaru pretend to be her husband? It wasn’t like he was interested in her like that.

Rin yelped Sesshomaru’s fingers started to rub tiny circles on her stomach. "Are you well?" he asked. "I felt you wince." he murmured against her ear, continuing his soothing caress.

"Everything alright Rin?" Bankotsu asked, hearing her yelp even from where he was. Jakotsu and Renkotsu looked over, and Sesshomaru stilled his hand.

Rin swallowed. "I’m fine Bankotsu." She assured him and Renko and Jakotsu looked back to the road.

And Sesshomaru started to stroke larger circles.





Kagome and the Dwarf’s

“Kagome, you’re holding the staff wrong. I could easily knock you on your feet. Like this." Miroku scolded before taking his staff, shoved it between my body and my own staff and pushed my knees out from under me. Out of reflex, I had let go of my staff and now Miroku held both of them, crossing them across my neck.

"See? You have to hold it closer to your body." Miroku lectured, looking down at me.

I blinked up at him, still dazed from the quick throw. I heard Inuyasha curse somewhere from my left.

"Damn it monk! Don’t be so fucking rough with her!" I heard him order.

Miroku pulled the staff back, holding out a hand for me to take. I lightly grabbed it and let him pull me up, almost losing my balance again when I was on my feet.

I heard Inuyasha curse again and I felt his hands around my waist, holding me against him. Any other day I would have noticed nothing else but his presence so close to me, but after being knocked to the ground already fifteen times today, I was wondering how I could beg for a break without looking weak.

"Inuyasha! Stop coddling her, she’s tougher then you give her credit." Sango broke in, making me want to glare at her. I liked being in Inuyasha’s arms even if I was too tired to notice it, why was she trying to go ruin it?

In response, he held me closer to his chest. "Give her a break and then work on something else with her! You rattled her brains around so much today I’m surprised she doesn’t have any more permanent damage!"

I blinked, wondering if I was being insulted or not.

"Ah leave him alone Sango, the guy can’t help loving her so much he doesn’t like seeing her hurt." I heard Hiten call out.

I felt Inuyasha stiffen and shove me out of his arms like I was burning him. "Love? Who said I loved that crazy wench? I’m just looking out for her, that’s all." He defended, sounding embarrassed.

I spun around and shoved my finger into his chest, even as I felt my heart sink. "Hey! What would be so bad about loving me?" I demanded.

He scowled and jerked his head away, a tiny red blush appearing on his cheeks. "Feh. Who said it had to do with you? Maybe I’m just not stupid enough to love anybody." he said arrogantly.

I put my hands on my hips, "And what exactly is so horrible about loving someone?"

Inuyasha opened his mouth, only to be cut off by someone clearing their throat.

"Um, excuse me?" the voice asked, and we all turned to see Soten standing nervously in the clearing, a bag thrown over her shoulder.

Hiten’s eyes went wide with longing and he took a step towards her before forcing himself to stop. "Sotey?" he asked hesitatingly.

She swallowed and tried to smile. "Hi Hiten, do you have an extra room I can stay in?" she asked shyly.


Seven
Rin’s eyes widened at they entered the town, forgetting for a spilt second Seven, their mission and even Sesshomaru sitting behind her.

It was so amazing.

The sounds and smells of the town captured her senses before she even saw it. Smells of mouth-watering foods of every kind, the dozens of different music that seemed to combine and form an odd but festive and becoming sound, the buzz of the dozens of hundreds of people who were laughing, gossiping, haggling and even dancing. It was all so much!

Coming around the bend of the forest, where the trees were barer, she was able to see the town, glittering with fire and lights, it almost seemed as if there was some sort of festival going on. She could see shops, dozens of shops filled with almost anything the heart desired; from food and weapons, to clothing, knickknacks, horses and other wondrous things. There were gypsies selling things from other lands and putting on shows to hopefully gain some coins and children playing and laughing and running everywhere.....The people looked fascinating, the sights beautiful, and all the city people gorgeous.

For the first time, Rin wondered if she hadn’t missed something...something important having to hide away in the forest all these years.

"The inn should be right over here." Renkotsu’s quiet voice broke through her thoughts and she was able to stop staring at a very handsome seller. Maybe if she had the chance later she would go over and see what he was offering...

She glanced over to see Jakotsu studying her with a slight grin on his face.

"Never been in the city before boss?" he asked.

Rin shook her head, her gaze drawn back to a beautiful jade necklace in a store window on display.

"Yeah, I guess you wouldn’t having been stuck in the woods all your life. Pretty amazing isn’t it?" he continued, grinning again when Rin only gave a wordless nod, her attention already on something else that she missed Sesshomaru frowning slightly down at her in the reflection of a window before looking back the jewelry.

"It’s right here." Renkotsu said, indicating with his head the building in front of them.

Sesshomaru forced the horse to a halt, swinging off the saddle and grasping Rin’s hips. Slowly he lifted her down, making sure some part of her body was touching his own. When her feet finally touched the ground, he held her close for a moment longer then necessary. Slowly he moved back and let her hips go, but immediately grasped her elbow like he couldn’t let her go.

She blinked up at him as he led her into the inn; totally missing Bankotsu’s twitching eyebrow and Jakotsu’s smirk as they followed them in.

The innkeeper, a skinny old man rapidly losing his hair and leaning against the counter of his desk, glanced up at the sound of the door opening and quickly stood up straight at the sight of the group.

He quickly bowed, "What can I do for you fine people today?" he asked, his attention mostly focused on Sesshomaru.

Bankotsu pushed his way ahead of Sesshomaru, sending him a glare over his shoulder. "We need rooms for the night, at least three."

The old innkeeper frowned. "I’m sorry, but I only have two free rooms to offer you."

Bankotsu frowned, "Is one room large enough to house five men?" he asked.

"Well no-"

"It is of no matter." Sesshomaru interrupted. "My wife and I will share the room; the other men can have the other one."

Bankotsu whipped his head so fast if he had still been wearing his braid it would have slapped Jakotsu in the face. "What? You can’t-"

"I believe I can Bankotsu." Sesshomaru said calmly, sliding a pouch over to the innkeeper. "Will this be enough for room and board tonight?" he asked the innkeeper, ignoring Bankotsu like he wasn’t angry enough his face was a strange red color and his entire body was shaking while his eyebrow twitched violently.

The old man glanced at the pouch. "Oh yes sir, this will be plenty." he assured him, quickly sliding the money out of sight while handing over two room keys. "You’ll find you and your wife’s room on the third floor sir; the others will sleep on the first floor."

Rin’s face started to blush as Sesshomaru accepted their room key and placed a hand on her back, leading her towards the staircase.

She glanced back at Seven and smiled slightly, "I’ll find you guys later." she promised, slightly worried about the twitch in Bankotsu’s face as his mouth hung open.

"Much later." she thought she heard Sesshomaru mumble under his breath, but when she looked up he had his normal emotionless expression and concentrated on the stairs, completely missing Sesshomaru slight grin of glee.
