Chapter 4: A bit wrong in the brain

“InuYasha, where have you been? You missed this totally hot chick. I mean her body was hot.” Miroku said as he drooled. Behind him Sango tapped her foot impatiently. “Her black hair was a bit plain but it shined.” Sango’s eye began to twitch as Miroku ranted on, “Her eyes held your soul as if she knew something about you.” Sango lifted a board from the wagon and hit Miroku over the head with it. Miroku collapsed to the ground behind the stand.

“I saw a girl being mugged when I chased after Shippo.” InuYasha said as he hobbled over to Miroku. “Son you have to get up.” InuYasha said when two kids came up to buy some fruit. Miroku groaned as he stood up.

“Honey are you alright? I told you to watch out for that fruit. It was bad.” Sango said as she smiled.

“What fruit?” Miroku asked as he looked at her oddly.

“You two need to stop. We are leaving tonight.” InuYasha said as he backed away from the stall. “I’m going to our room.” he turned and out of the corner of his eye he saw that girl, Kori. Walking or to be more exact, hobbling away he warily kept the girls scent in check. As he reached the Inn InuYasha hobbled into the door and straight into the common room. Sitting at a table in the far corner InuYasha watched the girl walk in confused. She looked around and jumped when a man brushed his hand against her leg. InuYasha’s eyes narrowed as he watched the man wrap his arm around the girl. InuYasha glanced around and shrugged the farmers garb off and kicked it beneath the table. Rubbing his face with his hands InuYasha wiped the rest of the ash off. Standing to his full height he heard her say something that even at this distance he could hear.

“Let me go.” she said gripping the man’s arm.

“Nah, princess you’ll be staying here with me.” the man said drunkenly. The girl stiffened and InuYasha growled. He had to save her once again. ‘Is she a trouble magnet or something?’ he wondered as he walked briskly over to the scene.

“My dear where have you been? Father’s been worried sick.” InuYasha said in the sweetest voice possible. He looked at the man and lowered his voice. “My sister, she hasn’t been right in the brains since she got kicked in the head by our family horse, poor dear wouldn’t know a hitching post from her own brother.” InuYasha said as he pulled the girl away from him. Even though she remained quiet he could smell the anger coming from her.

“Sorry about that.” the man said as he turned back to the bar and drunk his mug of what ever he was drinking. InuYasha wrapped his arm around the girl’s shoulder and lead her to the table he had occupied.

“Wrong in the head!” she hissed at him. InuYasha smirked.

“Saved you from him didn’t I?” InuYasha said as he sat down and pulled the clothes out from under the table. Her eyes widened then narrowed as she recognized them. “Yes it’s me your angel.” he said grinning.

“Yash? You evil man! How dare you call me your sister!” she told him as she struck him across the face with her hand. InuYasha growled as the hat tilted back. (Never said he took the hat off. o.6) InuYasha reached up and fixed the hat.

“Now look here wrench, I wasn’t the one who followed a complete stranger into a Inn, now was I?” InuYasha growled keeping his voice low. Too many unfamiliar people where in the crowd.

“I am not a wench, I am a pri…private seamstress!” Kori glared at him from beneath her black bangs.

“Really?” InuYasha said sniffing out the lie.

“Yes!” she insisted.

“Then if you are a private seamstress why are your hands not calloused from days of working the needles?” InuYasha asked making things up as he watched her face.

“I’m a student she said.” InuYasha knew she was lying.

“Kori, if you had such a job then why wear rags?” he asked pointing to the filth she wore. Luckily he wasn’t Sesshomaru who wouldn’t even pretend to hold his breath so he wouldn’t gag; in fact he often had them thrown into the pond outside the window. “Look you positively reek. You smell worse than a pig pen.” InuYasha told her. “A seamstress apprentice wouldn’t even be seen like that.”

The girl turned bright red and exploded causing everybody in the common room to turn and stare. “I do not smell worse than a pig! It is you who smell worse than the kitchen midden heaps! And all of you are worse than him.”

“Sorry she’s not right in the head. Even her brother said that to me when I thought she was a whore.” the man said from before.

“Why I ought to.” Kori threatened as she turned on the hanyou.

“Sorry.” he grabbed the pressure point on her neck and lifted her as she passed out. “It’s okay crowds work her up. I’m sorry about this.” InuYasha tossed the farmers garb on her body and walked up the stairs ignoring the comments flying around the room.
