InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Sweetest Sin ❯ New enemies, new allies, new loves Part 3 ( Chapter 28 )

Hummimg a little tune…"And the winner is…drum roll please….A Heart so Pure!" Tokaji's sister stands forth, with a grin and a plea. "Her name…she kind of needs it to help out her brother…." Tokaji gives off a little snort…

"Don't need any help…"

Simply glares at the impudent young man and looks to his sister with a glint in her eyes.

"Could you?"

"Happy to…" His sister replies and turns around in a sweet voice. Kagome figuring out immediately plugs Inuyasha's ears as her future youngest lets out a torrent of sits on Tokaji…

Watching completely entertained…returns to the reviews with a grin on her face leaving the winner to ponder the temperamental sibling to Tokaji…

Weirdo's rule…-Thank you, I am glad that you enjoyed it

MysticHanyou…-Looks rather guilty…actually it does you guessed right sheepish little look…it has kind of grabbed a strong foothold right now

Laker girl…-giggles…glad you are enjoying yourself and thank you. By the way am churning them out as fast as I can

Uknown…-smiles…thank you

Inufreak831…-Smiles at cookie and gold star…chomps on one happily and pins the other to her shirt. What does Hojo see about Isao? Not telling…munching on cookie….

A Heart so pure…-Why thank you and I am glad that you think so…and don't worry…been asked three times for marriage since I started this one….Don't forget she needs a name…

KatrinaluvInuyasha…-Thank you and I am glad that you like it. As to where Rin is…she is in the past with Sesshomaru and unfortunately like Jaken, she is not that important a character, to this story. Her replacement for her simple wisdom in this story will actually be a 16 year old sister to Tokaji. Rin was important then…for later on she would grow and eventually three of her and two villagers from the past will have descendants that will turn out to be minor characters in this story, Eri, Ayume and Tsukasa. As to the Shikon Jewel, and no it hasn't been used yet…but there is a plan on how it will be used…giggles.

MoonSlayerMiko13…-That is the question…only the 500th reviewer can decide her name…but she will be 16 years old and in the same year as Kagome

Gittelbug…-Don't fret…was doing the same here

Inuyasha'sGirl 40111…-Well thank you and maybe I will take a look okay?

FoxylilRaven…-No he hasn't, but as to what he notices…smiles…not telling

Akuma river…-True that is…ain't it…but don't worry I think Yuka is smarter than that…but anyhow…I have someone else in mind…might organize it as a reward later…

Orb…- technically I have passed 500 combined between the sites I have this posted on. I have been trying to be fair and allow those on the lesser known sites to have an equal chance and 500 at the time was a good number…its confusing, but 500 is more of a time limit…once I surpass whoever is the last reviewer in my email will get it at that time…and have the privilege to name her. Which hopefully she will…and believe me she is getting anxious…and he will eventually just have to trust me there

Sunshine161820…-Thank you and I am

Chibi Inu 13…- True…but can't mess with time…bad Karma to do so and he is obsessed isn't he…shivers a little and as to Isao…who knows…

Inubunny…-smiles…thank you and I am not telling what will happen to Isao…

Chelsea…-Technically not anymore…remember I stated that their souls grew separate now. Kikyo has her own soul as does Kagome. Due to circumstances I mentioned in an earlier chapter that soul that was split eventually regenerated and Kikyo eventually became her own separate person. Kagome is the reincarnation of the good Kikyo from before. Not the evil psychotic formerly undead Kikyo.

Inu-lover 2004…-Thank you very much

Serenity's angel in Heaven…-Full lemon when come when Inuyasha answers Kagome's question and that won't happen until Kouga comes around…and I am not referring to future Kouga either mostly feudal Kouga…

Jenny…-Thank you and to be honest never read Ranma….Kind of took more of an interest in Inuyasha over it…Once I read it I might…

Ghettotrampoline…-Thank you and it was…ouch at least you fixed it right?

Kag+Inu=love…-Why thank you and Yukina as well as Izayoi will be making an appearance once more but later on in the story…they still have a role to play

Inuyashatotallyobsessed…-That is one of the feelings she wants him to realize…but will he ever admit it right away? We all know that answer…and right they are both marksmen…but that isn't the only thing. As to Totosai's role…it will be mentioned. He can't because this Inuyasha doesn't know about Older Shippo being around as well as Kanna. Miroku and Sango could never go through the well and they had their own roles to play out…with the ending I have planned, they will die within the comfort eventually of their friends, but Inuyasha and Kagome would live on because of the ritual stages. As to why Miroku doesn't have the wind tunnel…I explained in an earlier chapter, that Naraku's power was severely weakened to the point that the curse could no longer be maintained. Miroku was set free merely by his defeat. By the time Naraku would have been strong enough to reinstate the curse on him, Miroku would have long since passed away. So he decided to wait…wait and re-gather strength and gain a more suitable and powerful body

Anyway folks back to the beginning…or so to speak…time to get cracking…I don't own Inuyasha in any way shape or form

Chapter 27

New enemies…new allies…new loves…Part 3

Feudal Japan…

Sango still was silent as she remained tied up. Other than releasing her ties so that she can go to the bathroom and such under his careful eye, she has remained mute and has been ever since he took her back to camp against her will, and quite frankly it was annoying him.

Miroku, frustrated at the lack of progress starts to approach her, releasing her bonds, and then picking her up once again, he heads towards the grotto with a plan. Grabbing some things just out of her sight, due to her precarious position over his shoulder, he keeps heading towards it.

His nose wrinkling, he drops the stuff as they arrive swings her into his arms and drops her in.

"What the #$%##&%"

"Language my dear Sango language..."

Sango glares at him from the shivering cold water. She observes silently as he proceeds to sit there and wait.

"What the hell are you waiting for?"

He just smiles as he reaches for a washcloth and throws it at her. His eyes twinkling with a little bit of mirth and determination as she looks befuddled.

Realizing what eh wants her to do, Sango shakes her head. "No way forget it monk I am not stripping and taking a bath with you watching!"

"Well my dear Sango...you have till the count of ten…before I will come in there and do it for you."

She stares at him incredulously and listens as he starts. "One…"

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Try me…Two."

Gazing at him stubbornly, she still refuses to move and he continues to count. "Three…Four…Five…"

She begins having second thoughts as he begins removing his robes. Her face heating up as she remembers very well what lay underneath, she is almost oblivious to all else.

"Six…Seven…Eight…"

Halfway undressed she realizes, that he wasn't kidding and would come in with her whether she wanted him to or not. Looking around frantically she takes in the fact that she is in a semi-quasi deep end where she landed as he dropped her.

Hunching down, she shouts out loud as Miroku starts to say ten. "WAIT! I will do it…"

A little disappointment comes into his features, but remaining somewhat of a gentleman he nods his head and resumes sitting down. Most of his robes, off his body, she can't help but stare at his chest and its well defined muscles with admiration.

"Well…I'm waiting…" He comments with a sly grin. She turns a becoming shade of pink and much to her delight and his annoyance, she gets a little back when she buries herself in the water and slowly but surely manages to remove her wet clothes.

Throwing each one at him to show him, he catches them with ease. Finally ready to take a bath, she looks around for the soap which he then proceeds to hold out in his hand.

"Toss it Miroku…"

"No…"

"Miroku just toss it will you."

"No…you might drop it. Come and take it from my hand…"

"And give you a show! I will not!"

"My dear Sango I will join…"

Before he could finish his sentence Sango had reached faster than he could blink and snatched the soap right out of his hand. He smirked a little bit and observed how she had started to scrub at her skin with a tenacity unrivaled to anyone he has ever seen. Her skin reddening under the scrubbing he tsks in disapproval.

"Sango go easy on yourself. It seems like you are trying to take off your skin with the force you are using."

Agreeing with him silently, she still does it just to annoy him and continues to scrub her body vigorously. Eventually after a few minutes she ducks her head underwater and as she comes back, she is startled by the close proximity of his body next to hers.

"You need someone to help you wash your back." He murmurs quietly. His hands upon her shoulders gently turning her around, she does so without complaint. Her mind is befuddled slightly from his closeness, and she says nothing as he takes the cloth and soap from her hands. Moving her wet and heavy hair to the side momentarily, he then rubs the soap into the washcloth, and almost like a caress, he drapes it across her back in a loving touch.

"W…W…What are you doing Miroku…" She finally asks coming to her senses as the cloth flows across her skin.

"Washing your back Sango, everyone needs help with that." He says quietly as he brushes against a sensitive spot on her back and she arches a bit in pleasure. The way she does it, causes him to bite back a moan of need. He knows if he is to gain her trust that he shall have to be patient and wait.

Continuing to move, the wash cloth over her a couple of times. He is about to get up and go, when he is stopped.

"Miroku…I know you…you could have done more than just that if you wanted to. Why didn't you?"

"I said I would try and earn your trust on the way to earning your heart Sango I have to prove to you that I am not the way you think I am."

With those words, he steps back and out of the grotto and resumes putting on most of his clothes. Leaving a dry set of clothes for her since he did kind of dump her into the water, he turns around to find her back still him, but still lost in thought. Knowing deep within his heart, that she will not leave no matter how tempted she might be, he walks away and heads back towards camp.

Sango hearing him walk away turns around in confusion. His words still ringing through her ears, she watches as his figure disappears. Looking around for her clothes, she is about to scream in rage, when she notices something on the ground. It is long and a deep blue and very dry.

"He left me his robe to wear…" Grabbing the towel first so that she can dry herself off, she then reaches for the dry robe and marvels at is soft feel. Detecting a faint scent that stirs her senses, she brings it to her nose and breathes it in. It smells of cedar and incense...

"I wonder if this is your smell…" She whispers softly. Breathing in the scent once more as she slides the robe over her naked form, it falls to just below her knees. For which she wishes she could cover, but still sighing in simple pleasure at its warmth, she can't help but smile at the kind gesture.

Picking up the remaining items, she returns to the camp to find Miroku working on some soup for them. He looks up as she enters and for the first time, she smiles as she notices her clothes spread out over a tree branch to dry.

"Thank you…"

"You are most welcome Sango…"

"Are you sure I can wear this though?"

"I don't see why not? After all it was because of me that those are wet isn't it?"

"True…why did you drop me in there anyway?"

"Do you want to know the truth?"

"Yes…"

"The silent treatment was annoying me….I knew that would get you to react."

Sango just stares at him with an angry gaze, but it softens as she further listens. "And I figured you would also want to clean up some…it has been a few days has it not?"

Nodding her head, she watches as he continues to stir adding some various things every so often. Getting comfortable she sits down curling her knees up underneath her, so that they remain warm, she waits and observes his motions. Out of the blue without thinking, she says something that causes him to stop out of curiosity.

"Can I smell you?"

"Excuse me?"

"Can I smell you?"

Nodding his head, she watches as she crawls towards him, almost like a cat. Leaning forward, he feels her breath upon his neck and the tiny hairs lift with her sniff. Hearing a satisfied sound of pleasure, she heads back to her position and sits back down with a dreamy smile.

"What was that all about it…?"

"Nothing…"

About to say something else, he watches as she picks up part of his robe and breathes it in heavily. With a silly grin, as he resumes stirring he reflects on those words that she said only moments later, after the action.

"Yep…it smells just like him…heavenly."

Present day…

Isao starts to come around. Wincing in pain a little bit, he opens his eyes, only to hear a voice call out to him. "Slowly…Jinto hit you kind of hard…"

"I didn't mean to! OWWWW!! Eri cut that out!"

"I will when you ease up on others you dummy!"

Hearing a male voice growl something else, the other two quiet down, as he opens his eyes to come face to face with several figures looking at him. Four girls and four other boys stare at him with curiosity.

"What happened?"

"Jinto hear saw you watching the shrine and thought you were some kind of prowler. By the way…what's your name?" One of the dark haired girls said with a smile. He looks at her and sees the kind gentle warmth radiating from her as well as an immense power.

Looking towards the others he spies a silvery blonde haired young man, with amber eyes, with another dark haired young woman and he can't help but do a double take. "The name's Isao…Isao Yasutake."

Staring at the other against the wall, Isao can't help but comment. "We look alike…" He states as he proceeds to wince for the sound of his own voice had given him a headache. Hence he is grateful as someone hands him a glass of water and some painkillers.

"We though that to when we saw you. By any chance were you looking for Inuyasha here?" Replied the voice of another young woman, looking at her, she was the one who handed him, the medicine and he smiles in thanks at her kind gesture.

"No…but is that his name?"

"Yeah it's my name!" The young man replies with a venomous look of distrust. Isao cringes a little bit. His father was right. This Inuyasha is not one to be messed with casually. Drawing upon his skills that were instilled in him, Isao looks around to the others with a curious glance and a charming smile.

"So who are the rest of you?"

Hearing a bunch of names, he pays close attention to the identities of four of the individuals.

Yuka apparently was the first girl that talked to him as he came to. The kindness in her eyes is warm and soothing to him. She has a gentle air about her, but yet he can see the steel in that stance that she betrays with her movement.

Akira that supposed boyfriend of hers, according to his father, has dark hair and deep blue eyes. The features of the one, who his father said, had near destroyed him a long time ago.

"Must be his son or something…"

"What did you say?" Asks Kagome. She was the second young woman who spoke to him and she was the one who made him nervous, because of the sense of pure light emanating from her. The miko must be reacting to his presence and warning him…

"Nothing…"

"Feh! Yuka lets get back to what we were doing…"

"We can't Inuyasha…we have company" Kagome grits out between her teeth, as she gestures to Isao.

"So…"

"Inuyasha I ought to…!"

"Go right ahead…" Isao replies shakily. "Why were you fighting on another anyway?"

Hastily coming up with an answer, Eri manages to think fast to cover them all. "Training, we were training for a competition in a couple of months. Why want to join us?" She asks, before the others could stop her.

"What kind of competition?"

"Martial Arts!" The others reply and Inuyasha just groans. Kagome sighs in aggravation.

They look at one another as it seems the training has been called off due to the arrival of their guest. Luckily, during the time he was out, Yuka told Kagome the spell to alter Inuyasha's features enough so that he looks human. They gave it just enough to change his basic features slightly.

"Well how does the spell feel?"

"Weird…it's a tickling sensation right now actually…"

"How so?"

Smiling wickedly, his hands brush against her sides feathery light in texture almost and she shivers in delight.

"Behave my hanyou…"

"What if I don't want to…?"

Giggling as he whispers ideas into her mind, the others watch and shake their heads and resume talking with one another and their new `friend'.

"Someday they have to get themselves a room."

Smirking a little bit, Yuka and Akira look at one another and share a smile. "You didn't see them this morning…"

"Yuka you didn't!" Ayume cries out with a surprised look.

"Well they said 10:00, I and Akira were on time…but they were still asleep!" The young woman replies with her hands out. Her boyfriend right behind her is smiling as the three other girls converse. Looking at him Isao notices, the red and white beads and cloth upon his arm, and wonders.

"Why do you wear that?"

"Wear what?"

"Those, the things on your arm…"

Akira clutches his arm to himself. Looking up at him, he smiles weakly. "Something happened and well I was attacked…"

"By who?"

"Nobody in particular. But once I find him I will make him pay…"

"With my help!" Yuka chirped in and Isao watches as Akira pales at that thought.

"So he doesn't want her to fight…whoever did this to him. I know father couldn't have done it…so to prove them wrong…" He muses silently.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Yuka smiles as she links her arm within Akira's. Isao glares a little bit in envy at the closeness of the couple. He is already starting to want to be a part of them as well as the others.

"Just thinking…someone did that to you. It's wrong…and I would like to help if you would allow me?"

Inuyasha seems to look up and Isao looks sharply at the warming tone emanating from his voice.

"We don't need it!"

"Be nice Inuyasha!" Kagome replies elbowing him in the stomach. Glaring at him in such a way, that he starts to quiet down his growl, much to the surprise and confusion of those present.

Looking at him with a warm smile, he is prepared for her answer and is already planning on something else to get himself into their group.

"Isao, we thank you for offering. But it is too much to ask of you right now and well…we don't want to get you involved in something that shouldn't concern you."

"It's all right Kagome. But needless to say if you change your mind, I hope you don't hesitate to call me and ask."

"Thank you Isao…"

The others smile and nod their head in agreement with the young woman's kind words. Smiling Isao gets up to leave, but not before he is asked.

"Where do you go to school?" Ayume asks.

"Up here at Tsukimine high, why?"

"Really?" The gang replies in unison causing him to smile.

Nodding his head, the smiles around seem to light up the room. "That is where we go...what year?"

"Third."

"Cool…we go there as well. I think you will probably have classes with Akira…aren't you in that same grade?"

Akira nods his head and Isao looks at the young man with a hidden look of knowledge. "At least I will know someone…"

They continue to talk as Isao sits next to Akira, innocently asking him questions about school, as he studies the room full of people according to his father's plans.

Elsewhere…

Watching the proceedings from his scrying smoke, Naraku chuckles…. "Good work my son…I am already one step ahead of you and will create how shall we say a situation for you to come and help them with…"

I sincerely thought about adding some stuff with Hojo and the others like I had planned, but came up with a last minute better idea. Anyway guaranteed more Hojo stuff as well as other things in the next chapter not to mention Tokaji and his soon to be named 16 year old baby sister! So until next time folks! Read and Review!
