InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Sweetest Sin ❯ Training to win, to dream, to love... ( Chapter 21 )

Gives everyone a sleepy eyed look as she walks in and starts to type more again....but keeps nodding off, Yuka in the meantime watches and sighs....

"Tired?"

"Huh what?"

"I said tired?"

"A bit...had the strangest dreams..."

"Oh?"

Simply and Yuka chat about something as they get down to answering reviews...

Hilo...-Hands you a cookie and a half....the half because you are getting warmer....

CriscoKittie, BellDandy chan 16, hypergurl220022...-Why thank you kindly

Yvonne...-I am working on more Miroku and Sango...I thought to make that particular bit short because they had only just woken up and Sango seems the type to avoid things if she got caught unlike Miroku who embraces it. Actually Hojo is NOT the person Naraku possessed...remember I have said Hojo is Hojo.....he will eventually....

Ceaseless Cloudy Days...- Me popular with men? I guess you could call it that....I like to think of myself as just plain finicky when it comes to men and the ones I pick are usually worthwhile....

HPangel...-Yep...remember Inuyasha is a persistent hanyou when he wants to be...look how stubborn he is when he wants her to stay with him....wouldn't he pull the same tactics on her to get her to fully be his mate a lot faster? And you are welcome I hand out cookies to those who see between the lines....smiles....and I am working on more Sango and Miroku...

Mystic Hanyou...-Yep....hands you a cookie and smiles....am so not telling

Chibi-Inu13...-hands you a cookie and smiles...and I know poor Akira....but this time he has help from the best...Inuyasha.....as to Sango and Miroku...she felt guilty for making him sad...she wanted to bring him back to his normal self...and got a little more than what she expected.....

kag+inu=love....-Yep you were right and as to the one concerning Tokaji I will not say anything the other you are right they are tied in to one another....three words family tree....and curse

Anyway folks....a lot of you have figured out who Tokaji is and be proud of your hard earned cookies....but just to reiterate a few things Hojo is Hojo...Naraku is someone else... Remember what I said....he took someone whom Inuyasha and Sesshomaru would recognize....

Leaving you that much....I don't own Inuyasha in any way shape or form....Lemon ALERT...Maybe?

Chapter 21

Training to win, to dream, to love

Inuyasha ducked as Yuka tried to punch him and she winces as she is thrown back twenty feet.

"You are dropping your right shoulder."

"DAMMIT!" The young woman replies with an annoyed tone. She winces a bit as she starts getting up. Looking toward Akira and her friends who watch with Kagome, she frowns as they each hold up signs with numbers ranging from 9.1-9.4.

"I would like to see you guys try it!"

Wincing a bit, Akira runs over to help her out. Noticing her pain, Inuyasha lets it be and declares break time. Eri is chatting with Kagome as Ayume and Tsukasa watch with amusement as Kagome berates her hanyou.

The other three had arrived about an hour after what had happened with Naraku. Seeing the glove on their friend's hand, they had wisely remained silent and not said anything. They just went around and left the couple alone in their pain. Inuyasha waited and after a while the two came back and the first thing out of Yuka's mouth was..."Let's train."

Inuyasha nodded for he could tell she needed to blow off some steam. Looking at Kagome, who silently agreed with him, she whispered a few words. "Go easy on her ok?"

So he did, he had deliberately been holding back on his hits, and so with that he had kept her mind on something else for a while. Kagome he knew was berating him just to make them smile, for he could tell from her eyes, that were filled with love and admiration for him.

"I thought you said you were going to go easy..."

Yuka whirled at that, despite her pain and Inuyasha raised his eyebrow a notch in surprise and respect.

"You were going easy!"

Looking a little sheepish he nods his head and the others just look amazed. Pondering this, Yuka remembers what her father had said.

"Next time you see him ask him about my left arm...."

Raising a curious glance, she wonders....

"Inuyasha...?"

"What Yuka?"

"Daddy told me to ask you about his left arm...what did you do to it?"

"I cut it off?" Inuyasha replies and without any remorse, Yuka just pales as she realizes, that Inuyasha is extremely powerful. She knows her father is considered the most powerful demon in the land. The fact that his half human brother, her uncle could do that...means he must hold a lot of power.

"How?" She whispers as the others look in awe. They are listening in on the conversation. They know Yuka's father and the fact that Inuyasha could do what he did....well that just amazes them.

"You really want to know?" Kagome asks as she sits down and Inuyasha in front of her. Her hands idly going to his ears, he starts to growl pleasurably like a puppy. Tsukasa gags a little as Eri and Ayume watch with delight.

"Yes..."

"Well it all started when your father Sesshomaru went looking for your grandfather's resting place..." She begins to tell the tale. Inuyasha just content to rest as his ears get rubbed, the girls smiling as he relaxes as Tsukasa and Eri pay attention. Time passed as she talked about the black pearl, the Un-mother....

"He didn't do that..." Yuka denies as she hears how Sesshomaru had forcefully pulled the pearl out of Inuyasha's eye.

"I was there Yuka, he did...it seemed Inuyasha is where your grandfather hid his tomb. It was in a black pearl hidden in his eye. In fact it should still be there right Inuyasha?" Kagome muses and her only answer is a nod as he whimpers don't stop, for she hits a spot on his ear just right.

"So my grandfather's grave is in your eye? Can I see it?"

"NO!" Comes out a cry as both Inuyasha and Kagome yell the others just back away, as the pair look at one another and shake their heads. Resuming his comfortable position, Kagome resumes rubbing his ears and he once again becomes a happy puppy.

Relaxing as they calm a little Yuka approaches again slower this time and asks..."Why?"

Kagome smiles, "Well one thing is because it hurts Inuyasha...I mean it is in his eye, and it won't come out the easy way."

"Oh and the other..."

"Other?"

"It sounded like you were going to say other thing?"

"True...well the other thing it is the grave of the great Lord Inutaisho, Demon Lord of the West. Many I think would love to get their hands on it...."

Yuka concedes that point although reluctantly. Gesturing for her to continue, she listens as they describe visiting the grave, Kagome pulling out the Tetsaiga and the eventual fight.

"So the Tetsaiga did that....?" Yuka whispers in amazement. Her father is so powerful to imagine that something as simple as a sword can do what it did...it is staggering.

"Yes....it was all because of Kagome..." Inuyasha interjects as he nuzzles Kagome's hand. She responds with a loving touch and special warmth just for him.

"Why her..."

"Because I'm human..." Kagome states quietly. "The Tetsaiga is a sword that can slay 100 demons in one blow, but it is a sword for one of demon blood to protect those that are human....no demon with malevolence in his heart can use it."

"Not to mention they have to be at least part human to touch it..." Inuyasha adds on, remembering those times Sesshomaru has tried to wield and take the Tetsaiga, but each time was refused.

"Maybe...." Kagome starts to muse earning a curious look from the others.

"What?" Inuyasha responds, not liking that gleam in her eye.

"Is Totosai still around Yuka?" Kagome asks and Inuyasha breathes a small sign of relief, but yet that feeling is still there.

"Last time I checked I think he was in the United States....what is his name this time around.....Wesson....or something like that...he makes guns that's all I know...."

Kagome smiles, as Inuyasha backs away. That look is making him nervous. "Ask Sesshomaru to contact Totosai....I have an idea for you..."

"You do?"

Kagome leans forward and starts' whispering something in her ear and after a few minutes Yuka is starting to giggle.

"Think it will work?"

"It just might...and Inuyasha can teach you the movements while he teaches you how to defend."

Yuka smiles and looking at said Hanyou, she stands up and stretches. Her hope renewed. "I am ready now!"

Inuyasha gets up himself, and smiles. "Are you sure, Yuka?"

"Of course and don't hold anything back...."

Grinning, he asks one more time. "Are you sure...?"

"YES!" Yuka yells and then she winces as all of a sudden she feels as his foot connects with her belly and she is kicked into the air. As he leaps up, she manages to twist herself, in time to avoid his hit.

"Soda anyone?" Kagome asks as the others look at the intense speed and the force Inuyasha is using upon their friend. They look at the miko in shock, as Akira resists the urge to call them out to stop.

"How can you..."

"At a time like this..."

Kagome shakes her head softly. "I guess because I am used to seeing it."

The others watch momentarily as she disappears into the house.

"The past must be brutal..." Eri says silently as she leans on Akira, who watches Yuka with a passion. Tsukasa and Ayume simply nod their heads in agreement. The proof alone is the fact that Inuyasha is not letting up on Ayume showing, that one thing he knows is how to fight...and how to survive.

Akira can't help but protest as Yuka takes a direct hit from Inuyasha fist right into her cheek.

"CUT IT OUT!"

Yuka, winces a little bit as Akira runs to her. Inuyasha watches and says two words.

"Leave Now..."

"No I won't let you hurt her!"

Yuka weakly smiles as she presses a reassuring touch upon his shoulder. She is about to say something when Inuyasha cuts her off.

"Hurt her...HURT HER! You listen right now Akira and I will tell you that not only Kagome will vouch, but so will my brother and all the others that were there or have encountered Naraku. Back then it took all of us, me Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Sesshomaru, Shippo...ALL OF US to defeat him. The power and strength I am using...is nothing compared to Naraku's....if he even has truly half the power we sensed from his little visit that gave you that wind tunnel. What she is learning and taking right now can save her life!"

Inuyasha's rant causes Akira to pale considerably. The thought of someone like that existing in this time with that much power...it scares him...

Having come with several sodas, moments earlier Kagome is about to sit him, but changes her mind. She knows it was needed for the others here will know that they will have to work together to defeat one who will destroy them all.

Handing out a soda, she watches as Yuka, says something and he nods his head and reluctantly leaves her side. Once again she watches as the hits were done, and Yuka was once again being trained. She watches as he approaches her, his skin pale and the glove glowing....he looks at her with a deep sadness and resolve.

"Kagome...?"

"Yes Akira..."

"Teach me what you know...teach me to become stronger..."

Kagome looks thoughtful; she has learned much in the time she has spent in the past through experience and with Kaede's help.

"It won't be easy...the few things that Miroku taught me took a long time and it can be mentally draining."

"Whatever it takes...I have to fight and get stronger."

"Tomorrow then, 10:00?"

"Why 10?"

"Do you really have to ask?" She smiles looking directly at Inuyasha and despite his anger and his pain towards what the hanyou had said he laughs.

Naraku waves his hand and chuckles as the image disappears of the hanyou and his allies. Looking at this body he has taken as his own, he chuckles.

"It was a blessing in disguise to find this particular body. The power I sensed emanating is incredible and I intend to use it."

Looking in a mirror, the image is not the one of black hair and red eyes and a lean muscular body that was once reminiscent of Lord Kadowaki. The image in front of him is of a man in his late 40's with long silver hair, which is tied back at the neck and amber eyes.

What was once a friendly smile, became malevolent, as the image seemingly transformed, into the face he was familiar with.

Waving it aside the silver hair and amber eyes returns.

"Ironically in this body it will make it harder for them to kill me.....for who knew the soul inside that I now hold prisoner was that of the great lord....the irony it humors me so. Kikyo was reincarnated as that girl and proven to be stronger. Now someone else close to both is reincarnated as well....such fun and interesting times..."

"Mr. Yasutake? Your 3:00 is here...." A young woman calls to him over an intercom.

"One moment....Now let them in"

Naraku turns to meet a soon to be client of his host's company.

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888

Sesshomaru shows his mate the crumpled up scroll, and whereas he got mad, she pales considerably.

"Shippo gave you this?"

"Yes..."

Kagura shivers and begins to pace.

"He will come after us...."

"That is a given, but..."

"I know, the body...." Kagura reassures her mate as she feels her heart ache for him. Placing her hands upon his shoulders, she offers him comfort. "How did he take the news?"

"When I called, he was still ranting about the unfairness of it all...according to her."

Kagura laughs softly as she can picture said person. "Why am I not surprised?"

Sesshomaru stands up and looks at his mate with calm. "I think what irks him though, is that he can not get involved....we can do a degree but this time...."

"Yuka, and the others must do it. It is a good thing that they are here...even though they are not...."

A slight grin appears on his cheeks... "It is confusing...but he will figure out along with the miko...the only thing we have to do is to help them by finding a way to separate Naraku...."

"From the body and soul of your reincarnated father..."

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888

Feudal Japan...

Sango watched as Miroku approached from his soak, saying nothing her skin just flamed as she remembers the sight of him in all his glory. He was beautiful and to see what he had been given by the grace of god....her body still tingles....

He simply smiles at her with an all knowing grin and she looks away. Her hand is ready to smack him, if he even says remotely one word about the incident at the grotto.

Time passed as they packed up all their supplies and weapons, and still not one word was said. Miroku every so often would catch her looking at him and she would look away immediately, her face flaming.

"So there is hope for me yet." He muses to himself and silently he starts humming a little tune as his mind begins roaming....

Sometimes I wake up in the dark of night

And in my mind there's a picture of you

I know someday this dream will come alive

Miroku remembers her words last night and the pain that he felt. He now knows that she does care for him, but that she simply can't trust him. But yet her reaction to seeing his body this morning had given him hope. Turning to look at her, he catches her staring and licking her lips a little...when she notices, she rapidly turns away but not without blushing tremendously.

So for now your shadow will do

I've never seen your face

But I know you're in my heart

Maybe someday some place

I'll hold you in my arms

Wanting to reach out and take her in his arms, he allows in his mind to fantasize doing just that.

Fantasy...

I have a gift for you

Something that I've held on to

Waiting for your sweet caress

Pulling her to him, Miroku brushes his lips against hers and despite that fact that she is ready to flip him over to beat him. He wins out with this amazing feat of strength to restrain her impulse. Eventually her hands reach around his neck as she moves her body closer, in an innocent trusting gesture.

No ribbon has been untied

From all that I hold inside

And only you will possess

This heart of innocence

Breaking away, he watches as she is about to say something, but doesn't as his lips take hers once more and with greed. His hands reach and take the ribbon out of her hair to allow it to flow and move down her back.

"I like it better down..."

As his hands reach for her armor, she seems nervous almost as she stops him. Respecting her wishes, he whispers in her ear and watches her reaction with a smile.

"Would you like to undress me first?"

Watching her as her hands reach for his robes he helps her as she reaches out and one by one they fall away and he lies naked. She licks her lips as she views him in all his glory...still she is nervous which amazes Miroku to know end.

I lay my head down on a pillow of white

Your in the dark I am cradled in peace

No thoughts from yesterday to haunt me at night

His Sango, her bluster and all her temper, when faced with something that she truly desires and wants is scared....

"It's all right touch me....I won't disappear I promise."

"You promise?" Her voice replies softly and with nervousness.

At the nod of his head, she reaches out and touches his cheek with her hand. Leaning into her gentle touch he feels as her hair drapes over his legs.

No tears to dry, no sad memories

It isn't hard to hold

And now I'll safely keep

The strength that's in my soul

Until you come to me

As her hair drapes him, it brushes against his arousal with such sweetness, that he moans with such need, causing Sango to jump back a little. "Are you Ok?"

"I am fine..."

"I didn't hurt you?"

Shaking his head, he draws her to him once more and kisses her to show her how much, he cares.

I have a gift for you

Something that I've held on to

Waiting for your sweet caress

"Touch me again...."

Sango nods her head and reaches for him, her hands sliding down his chest and eh can't help but tremble at her touch. He sees her looking at his face for any negative reaction, and the hint of a smile appears as he seems to be in a pleasurable daze. Turning her head to something else....she watches as his manhood seems to have grown considerably...and so she touches it with a single finger....

No ribbon has been untied

From all that I hold inside

And only you will possess

This heart of innocence

Jumping a little bit, Miroku lets out a low sound as he whispers soft words of encouragement.

"Do that again..."

Hearing his words, and somehow wanting to accommodate him, she does so and his body trembles.

"Saaannnnggoooo!"

Every night I make a wish before I fall asleep

That destiny will take your hand

And lead you to me

Fantasy ends....

I have a gift for you

Something that I've held on to

Waiting for your sweet caress

"What Miroku!"

A little surprised from her yell of concern, Miroku opens his eyes to see himself looking at the worried slayer with a dazed look. All at once glad of his robes, hiding the fact that he is aroused by her mere presence and also the fantasy he had he thinks fast and immediately gropes her.

"YOU...YOU...PERVERT!" She yells and slaps him hard, knocking him into a daze. It was worth it to cover what was hidden from her sight.

No ribbon has been untied

From all that I hold inside

And only you will possess

This heart of innocence

I love you

Watching as she finishes packing the rest of their supplies in a rage. Miroku hums the last of the tune as the dream rocks his mind.

"I do love you Sango..."

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888

Well that's the end for now...I hope you all enjoyed and I gave those who requested some more Sango and Miroku fluff to a degree...giggles....The song is called Heart of Innocence from Jessica Simpson and I thought it suited the pair and their somewhat relationship. I agree with someone said in one of their stories....that the purity and innocence is not in the body but in the soul.

Sango also may seem a little OoC but I took some thought into that...she might be tough, but remember all those times she has felt sadness and cried...I think when it comes to Miroku...she is scared a little to go further...not to mention her lack of faith in him. So in the fantasy dream...in my heart I believe that is how Sango would be when she is with him. Not all eager, but shy at first and then growing bolder by the moment unlike Kagome who due to the fact that she is from our era...well she would be similar...but she might be more open.....does that sound bad?

Anyway folks I hope you all enjoyed and if you are wondering I did say Naraku's body would be close to both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru...and Sesshomaru doesn't know Hojo.....but he does know their father Inutaisho.....Inuyasha knows him as well through stories and images that his mother painted for him as a child. SO you tell me did the battle just get easier or harder? Anyway don't forget to read and review!
