InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Choices Made ❯ Chapter 18

Chapter Eighteen (ummm… Clever title, clever title…) Just Getting Started

 

“Inuyasha. Stop grumbling. You are here, so you might as well come with me to get you some clothes…you can't wear your fire-rat clothes when we go out on a date. Oh…we'll also need to get you shoes-“Inuyasha had his characteristic pouty look on his face.

 

“I still don't see why I can't wear my fire-rat clothes, and what's wrong with me not wearing shoes? I'm a hanyou and tougher then you humans…” Inuyasha sniffed the air. “I smell…is that…Ramen! Com'n Kagome. You owe me!”

 

 

 

“Inuyasha…you already have had six bowls…aren't you full yet? I bet even hanyou's get stomach aches if they eat too much Ramen. Besides, you need to stop eating all this Ramen now because soon I won't have enough money left to buy clothes for you.”

 

“Feh. I told you Kagome-I don't need clothes or shoes for the date. Also, Ramen is worth sacrificing for!”

 

“Inuyasha...” Kagome said with a falsely sweet smile,” we are leaving now, and you are getting some different clothes, or else I'll say the word…”

 

“Er…what are we doing waiting around here wench? Let's go get those baka clothes you wanted me to get…humph.”

 

`I love those prayer beads' thought Kagome secretly to herself

 

 

 

 

`Today will be the day. I will talk to Sango about the possibility of getting married. Kami…give me strength…or just give me enough control and common sense not to do or say anything perverted…or stupid. Ok…here I go…' Miroku put out his foot to take a step forward, held it there, then put it back down.

 

“Er. Who am I kidding? Maybe after a walk I'll have a little bit more courage.” Miroku walked off talking outloud to himself.

 

“More courage for what?” asked Shippo changing from his flying pink blob back into his kitsune form. `Hmmmm. Flying has more advantages then just fun and escaping danger…' thought Shippo as he changed back into the pink balloon.

 

 

 

“I can't believe I agreed to getting these clothes and abominations that you call shoes.” These pants are so tight I can't believe you say guys can walk in them. Although, whatever this shirt is made out of feels really nice. I wish my clothes were made out of this stuff, although I don't think it is as strong or practical as my fire rat clothes, is it? My fire rat clothes do heal themselves so I don't have to sew them, plus they are very…”

 

`Kami. He is so talkative…is the six bowls of Ramen doing this to him?' Kagome thought to herself with a smile and a roll of her eyes.

 

“Inuyasha. The pants aren't really tight. They are quite loose by today's standards. You need nice pants and a shirt to go on a date, and shoe are required for most places. By the way, remind me never to let you have six bowls of Ramen again. You're too talki-“

 

“Oi. Kagome. Look! It's the Ramen stand again. And it's still open. You have money left, right? Right? Let's go get some more!”

 

Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand again and started dragging her over to the stand.

 

`Sheesh. How do I get out of this one?'

 

 

 

 

 

“Why is Sesshomaru-sama keeping that…thing…here” grumbled Jaken to himself.

 

“Jaken. Don't be so funny. You know that Kikyou is a human-just like Rin.”

 

“Rin. Kikyou is dead.” Jaken took a big sniff as if to prove his point-but…there was a lingering smell of grave dirt and death on Kikyou, but the smell wasn't being emitted by her anymore.

 

“Master Jaken, if Kikyou is dead, then why is she eating? And why is she awake and talking now? I think Sesshomaru-sama likes her. Does Sesshomaru-sama like Kikyou Master Jaken? I think he does. Are they going to get married?”

 

“No! Sesshomaru-sama would never disgrace himself by marring a disgusting human you stupid…thing!”

 

“I don't believe you Master Jaken-I think Sesshomaru-sama likes her, and she likes him back. Rin is going to see and talk to Kikyou again.” Rin ran off to go visit her Sesshomaru-sama and Kikyou singing a little song to herself.

 

 

 

 

`So…Miroku wants to propose to Sango-that's believable, but him being afraid of actually asking…that's hard to believe. He is always going around touching pretty girls' butts, so why would he have such a hard time asking Sango to marry him? Should I just go ahead and give this information to Sango, or should I bargain with Miroku to keep this information secret for a price?' Shippo weighted out the options in his head. He decided to tell Sango-her reaction to this might be more interesting than withholding it from her than Miroku paying Shippou's price.

 

 

 

 

“Kikyou. Rin said you were awake-this seems to be true. You are also hungry?”

 

“Quite hungry actually. What is really hard to believe is that I am a human. Sesshomaru-I have a question to ask…why did you bring me back here? After all, I thought that you were after Kagome and wanted revenge on Inuyasha.”

 

Sesshomaru stared at her. She could guess that through that cold, blank stare he was actually panicking about how to answer her question. He was being silent and staring at her faking the whole not caring thing because he was too afraid to admit to himself that he might actually be falling for a human, like his father did. Also, like his brother did-both of them paid for it, and also Sesshomaru himself did say that he would never be that weak or stupid to fall in love with a human.

 

Lucky for Sesshomaru though, Rin burst into the room all smiles just before Jaken came in with food for Kikyou.

 

 

 

 

 

“Sango? Can I ask you something about Miroku?”

 

`Oh no' thought Sango. `He has started wondering why Miroku touches girls' butts and why he always asks them to bear his children, and wants to know why we slap him for that. Well, as least he isn't asking about Miroku about it-Miroku would corrupt him for life, and poor Shippo would have no chance to marry a nice girl…'

 

“Shippo. Go ahead and ask.”

 

“Do you like Miroku? He wants to marry you.”

 

Sango looked at Shippo first with shock, then a rising blush filled her cheeks.

 

“Well, um….wait. How do you know this Shippo? Did he tell you, did you guess that, or were you spying like you always are?”

 

“I wasn't spying! I was conviently flying overhead while he was talking to himself.” Shippo stated very matter-of-factly. But anyway, he wants to marry you, but for some reason he is too afraid to tell you this…now this, I don't understand-I mean, he goes around touching butts and everything, and sometimes trying to spy on you when you are taking a bath, which I don't understand why we all don't take bath together-my mom and dad and I use to do it all the time, but maybe you guys don't do it because you and Kagome talk about the guys then…but anyway, are you going to marry him?”

 

“Shippo, I can't tell you anything” Sango said again her blush rising. “I have to get revenge on Naraku for my people and at the least release my brother from his control before I can even think about marrying anyone.” `Plus' Sango added to herself…'You'll tell Miroku my positive response, then he would try even more, and I would never hear the end of it. I remember he kept on trying to kiss me and did end up doing it when Kagome kissed Inuyasha. Then, I thought it was him being his perverted self, but maybe he actually meant it?'

 

 

 

 

 

 

SmartJock: it's not the guys (there's none) that keep me busy, it's the homework. Also, Fauna has really been hating me as of late, and this chapter does not want to get written. I am trying my best though….

 

J-love: is my grammar really getting that bad? I can't help it…Fauna hates me. I thought the last few chapters weren't that bad…well, still not much going on in the story. Hopefully something will happen. I'm thinking that I am going to end this story soon…its getting there…slowly.
