InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Choices Made ❯ Chapter 22

Chapter Twenty-two: If Boulders Had Ears

 

Inuyasha leaned over to whisper to Kagome “I think that Miroku gets more beat up from Sango then he does from fighting demons.”

 

Kagome allowed herself a giggle. “Think I should talk to Sango about that? I mean, it won't help be any help to us fighting demons if he is already sore from Sango. Speaking of talking with Sango, shouldn't we find someplace to rest? It will be getting dark soon. Smell any hot springs around here?”

 

“Keh! You and your bathing habits. You don't smell to me, but yet you never trust the guy with the nose. There smells like there is one a distance up there.”

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hey Sango! Inuyasha says there is a hot springs. Care to go and take a bath?”

 

“That would be nice. Let's go.”

 

“You don't think Inuyasha will decide to peak now, do you?”

 

“Weren't you the one who said that he was such a cold fish and wound never peak?”

 

“But then you asked me if I wanted him to…well….this may sound weird, but if he did, I would at least know that he is attracted to me.”

 

“But you know that he is. You are going to get married, right?”

 

“I think it's an unspoken agreement, but we are dating first. In my time, that is what people do. They date for some time, then after a while of dating, if they love each other, they marry. I wouldn't be able to marry anyways now; I'm too young.”

 

“You could marry him here. You aren't too young to marry here.”

 

“My mom, grandpa, and brother would want to be there. Maybe I should just have two weddings; one here and one in my time.”

 

“You could marry him now in this time, then marry him when you are old enough in your time if you want. Or do you just feel weird marrying this young over here and are going to wait?”

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

“Inuyasha. The girls are already planning your downfall. I heard them talking about marriage while you were fishing.”

 

“How exactly did you hear them monk when I can't even hear them from over here?”

 

“I um…thought I heard someone over by the bushes so I snuck over to check. After all, last time I though I heard someone and checked, Sango saw me and thought I was peaking, and to avoid getting hit, I snuck instead of openly walked up. Remember, she started throwing things at me that a single person should not be able to lift.”

 

“Keh! Wait monk…isn't Kagome bathing with Sango? Monk, if you saw any part of Kagome naked, I'm goi…”

 

“Relax Inuyasha. Kagome is safely hidden behind boulders…you may go check if you don't believe me.”

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`I can't believe that I am actually checking to make sure that monk is telling the truth' thought Inuyasha as he made his way towards the hot springs. `I'm going to throttle him if he isn't telling the truth'.

 

He could hear Kagome and Sango talking.

 

“So what about the prayer beads? Are you going to take them off of him? You know that he isn't going to try and kill you anymore, or steal the jewel” he heard Sango ask.

 

“Yeah, I know. He hasn't tried to kill me since the first time we met. You have to admit though, they are extremely handy. They saved his life several times, and they let him know how mad I am at him.” Inuyasha snuck behind a nearby bush. `The monk was lying! She isn't behind a boulder. I am going to kill that monk!' Inuyasha got up to start going back to the campsite.

 

“Sit boy is a really good command though…” Inuyasha slammed into the ground.

 

He heard the two girls give a shriek, then Kagome cursing and moving.

 

“SIT!” Kagome yelled again. Again, Inuyasha was forced face first into the ground.

 

`Fuck! She knows. I'm dead.' He jumped up after the spell wore off and was about to yell at Kagome but thought better of it was he saw her face…and the bath towel she was wearing.

 

`First I run, then I thank Miroku, then I kill Miroku' he though just before he started to run.

 

Kagome seemed to know what he was thinking. “SIT!” she yelled again. “You should go check for Miroku when I take care of Inuyasha” Kagome called out to Sango.

 

“Yeah…just don't hurt Inuyasha too bad…we need him” Sango said with a wink, then left.

 

“Inuyasha, why did you spy on us? You usually don't try to spy on us, so why now?”

 

He sat down and looked at the ground while growing red. He grumbled out a response which Kagome could only make out “Miroku” and “naked”.

 

“You are going to have to say that louder because there are so many different sentences I could make with “Miroku” and “naked” in them.” Inuyasha looked up at her with a surprised look. She explained further. “You could have said that Miroku suggested that you see me naked, or you could have said that after you saw Miroku naked, you wanted to see...”

 

“I…Miroku-said-that-he-heard-you-guys-talking-and-the -only-way-he-could-hear-you-was-if-he-was-close-enough-to-see-you-but-he-sa id-that-he-didn't-so-I-came-to-make-sure-that-he-didn't-or-couldn't.”

 

She looked at him. “I can't believe you said all of that in one breath and that fast. So now that you know that he could see me…how…how did you like the view?”

 

“I'm not apologizing…or complaining…”

 

Kagome smiled and leaned down to give him a quick kiss. It didn't end up quick.

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

“They still aren't back yet…should we check on them?”

 

“I think Inuyasha might be more prone to killing us if we did go check on them.”

 

“Kagome! You are finally back.”

 

“And I see that Inuyasha is not with you Kagome” interrupted Miroku.

 

“Yeah. He went to take a bath. You should go join him. When was the last time you two bathed?”

 

“Hmmmm. What kind of mood is Inuyasha in?”

 

“The usual self.”

 

“That bad eh? I might as well go.”

 

Miroku shortly left to bathe.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

“Oi monk! I would beat you up now for seeing Kagome naked, but last time I rose too quickly from hot spring, I fainted…and Kagome saw more than I ever thought she would see. As I remember she screamed and seemed to think it was gross…” Inuyasha looked down as his face turned red. “Miroku, do you think I'm gross? I mean, when Kagome and I get married, we will…I mean I will want to….but will she want to? That's one thing that married couples do and…”

 

Miroku gave him a look. “You should talk to Kagome about THAT.”

 

“You are the one who is suppose to know all about that kind of stuff, especially with all the womanizing you do. Do they ever seem grossed out?” Silently he thought to himself `well, I think she is afraid of it instead of being afarid or grossed out by me.'

 

“I'll have you know that I resent being called a womanizer. Also, I don't know as much as you think I do. Actually, you probably know and have gotten further than I have. Yes, I do grope and ask every pretty woman I see to bear my child, but other than that, I have done nothing else. However, I hope to change that with Sango.”

 

“You are still a lecher.”

 

 

 

I hope everyone found this chapter funny. More attempts at jokes. I'm weird at night.

 

HigherBeing: it is on for 12:3o for me also. Well, I guess one day a week is better then no days a week. For what happens next…I have no idea. Fauna visits me on and off. Usually she isn't here. She visits at 3:00 am, but I like to sleep then, so this story is taking a long time to write. With the excuse of Inuyasha being on and late at night, maybe I'll be up late and get chapters written quicker.
