Like A Fairytale –
Part Nine: Hansel And Gretel – Part II
"And
these, over here, are the water gardens, home to the ancient Water God. First
constructed by King Onigumou in...."
"Gods,
this is so boring." Kagome muttered under her breath.
"No
Kidding. This place has gotta have at least 20
different types of gardens." Inuyasha agreed,
then in a high voice, imitated Lord Naraku.
"This here is the moss garden. And over here is the fruit garden.
This here is-"
"Hold
your comments until after the tour." Sesshomaru
growled. He had to admit, this was more boring then watching paper dry, but he
was supposed to set a good example. In other words: If he couldn't
complain, Inuyasha sure as hell wasn't going to be
able to either. Plus, Sesshomaru just wanted a reason
to scold his half-brother.
"Feh, hypocrite," Inuyasha
pouted, crossing his arms. Glaring at Kagome he asked, "What's so
funny?"
"Nothing,"
she giggled, "It's just so cute when you pout."
Inuyasha could hear snickering come from his older brother and
that guy, Kuranosuke. (A/N: I think I wanna kill him off... Just for the hell of it). He could
almost swear Naraku was laughing too. "Cute?
Don't call me cute." Then, as an after thought, he added,
"Wench."
Rin, Sesshoumaru, Kuranosuke,
and Kikyou all stopped where they were, making
everything dead quiet. Kagome slowly turned to Inuyasha
and glared at the Youkai Prince. "What did you
say?" Kagome asked in a falsely sweet voice... Never.... EVER... Trust that voice.
"You
heard me."
"Yes, but
please, repeat. I'm not quite sure I heard you right."
. . .
"Wench."
Rin dutifully lead Kikyou and Kuranosuke away, who were closest to the pair. Inuyasha was really confused though, when Sesshomaru shook his head and let a flash of sympathy cross
his eyes. Soon enough, the entire group was well away from the danger zone.
Bombs away...
"HOW DARE
YOU!"

"Did you
hear something?" Miroku asked, looking up toward
the scattering birds
"Kagome."
"Oh..."
"Miroku, we're never going to get back." Sango sighed, sitting herself down on the ground. It seems
like they'd been walking for hours. And Sango could
have sworn she'd seen that berry bush at least four times already!
"Well
then..." Miroku stated,
a serious expression like Sango had never seen on his
face. Swiftly, he grasped her hands in his own, producing a small gasp from the
stunned Sango. "Then you must bear my children,
in hope to start a new kingdom!"
. . .
. . .
. . .
"Oh my god! You pervert, NO!" Sango
shouted, hitting Miroku with the closest object she
could find, which, unfortunately for Miroku (or
fortunately for Sango, however you want to look at
it) just happened to be a log. "Gods! The nerve of him." Sango
huffed, standing to her feet and leaving the twitching prince where he lay.

"And on top of that! I never called you cute! I said
it was cute when you pout, which it is, but NEVER that you were
cute!"
"Are you
calling me ugly?!"
"If I
was, you'd be too thick headed to tell!"
"Are you
calling me dumb?!"
"YES!"
Rin sighed, trying her hardest not to strangle the two youths.
Glancing to her left, she realized she seemed to be holding up better then Sesshoumaru. He was currently wringing his boa- ah.... tail
so hard his knuckles were turning white.
This really
was a pointless trip. Kagome and Kikyou were sent
here for marriage propositions, but nothing really seemed to be working out. Inuyasha and Kagome seemed to be forming this love/hate
relationship. It could work, but it would be hard to see. Kikyou seemed to take a liking to Inuyasha,
but he wasn't going for it. If Inuyasha were to end
up with Kagome, Kikyou would have to be with Miroku. But Miroku is currently
off with Sango who-knows-where, and Sango isn't even supposed to be in this love
triangle/square/thing! But she is. And there's nothing anyone can do about it.
"How dare
you call me dumb! You're nothing more then a naive
spoiled little princess!"
"No, that
would be Kikyou."
"HEY!"
Kikyou complained, she hadn't said anything.
The argument
could have ended there, but nooooooo, Kagome just had to
say more, "And speaking of spoiled, you're one to talk!"
she shouted, starting a whole new argument. *sigh* It's a think line between
love and hate....
*************

"Shoot...."
Sango hissed, a thorn tearing into her leg. Perhaps
it wasn't such a great idea to wander off after all. On top of that, it was a
bit dark.
' Not to mention cold' Sango thought,
rubbing her chilled arms. That was strange though, It was early fall, it
shouldn't get so cold so soon. It was as though the temperature dropped five
degrees (A/N: Now I have Cringe stuck in my head...)
"My dear god!" She all but screamed, tripping. Sending a
killer glare towards the evil root, she drew her knees to her chest, blowing on
the bleeding wound. It wasn't deep, but it sure did sting. Luck just wasn't on Sango's side today. Suddenly, Sango
whipped her head towards the thick bushes, hearing a twig snap. "Miroku?" she asked into the darkness, looking around
wearily. "Miroku, I know that's you,
stop....playing..." Sango words caught in her
throat as her gaze was met with a pair of blood red eyes that were penetrating
from the bush. Staring. The last thing she remembered
before things went back was a scream.

Kissing the
foreheads of her children the queen pushed the small boat down the river as the
footsteps and screams of her people sounded behind her. Tears filled her eyes
as she watched the river take all she had left, away from the inevitable horror
her kingdom had come to. Watching her children drift away, the Queen failed to
notice the shadows closing in around her as the temperature dropped.
The girl
screamed as the shadows swept her mother away. Instantly, the creatures attention was drawn to the child and infant. With
a wicked smirk, the demons leapt into the water, eyes blood red, intent on the demise or their witnesses.
