Chapter Six

Master Ash!... Just what are you up to?

Lulu sighs as she takes the only path she can. Down the mountain. She knew she couldn't go to Ash, Not after that. What would he say if he saw her. No. She has already decided, Ash could never be hers. No matter how much she wants it, she knows (or is convinced) down deep that the she is unworthy. With hernessness heavy this day, she drudgesn thn the final path of Crystal Mountain.

Inuyasha stripes and climbs back in bed beside Kagome, placing and arm around her he scoots her closer and relaxes with a content sigh. Kagome curls in a ball so close her breath tickles his side. Waking up with a smile she starts to cover Inuyasha'a flesh with sweet kisses. "Kagome" he tries to talk but her mouth covers his with a passionate kiss. Quickly she climbs on him one leg on each side she lies her head on his chest to hear his heartbeat next to hers. Inuyasha throws his arms around her and holds her tight.

Miroku however, wakes to a different tune, as a half asleep fox demon stands "SHIPPO!" Miroku yells as he jumps out of bed. Sango, who as been up for a while giggles from the balcony.

"W...Wh...What?" Shippo shakes his head waking himself up, looking down he is standing on the bed and "Peeing?"

"YEAH!" Miroku stands holding out his robes, the bottom left side dripping.

"Sorry." Shippo says with such innocents.

Ash stands under thee wee where Sesshoumaru tired Lulu, shaking his head back and forth "Did you know it would come to this" he stoops down and dips his fingertip in her blood. "Does she have to suffer for him?" Ash looks at the sky as if waiting for an answer. "Tell me... How can I ease such pain?" He stands tall placing the bead of blood on his tongue.

"Inuyasha" Kagome lays a kiss on his chest as she rises to see him. "I am hungry." Inuyasha smiles as he pulls her up for another kiss.

"Then let us eat. You get ready I will tell Sango and Miroku." Kagome nods in agreement and rolls off to let him up. She watches him dress and leave before she pulls herself up to get ready. Inuyasha stood in the hallway looking up and down until it dawns on him that he has no idea which room is theirs, putting his nose to the job, he sniffs the air, upon finding their room he busts through the doors "We eat in the garden" he announces. Sango and Shippo jump when startled but Kirara takes off running leaping into Inuyasha's arms. He of course catches her like this is a norm. "Miroku?' he scans the room.

"He has clothes to wash." Sango answers with a giggle.

"Master Miroku." Ash says as he appears beside him.

"Ash." Miroku greets with frustration in his voice without looking he continues to wash his robes.

"Let someone get those clean for you." Ash bends down to look at him with a smile "I have something that will look good on a monk such as you. Go clean up I will fetch them to your room." Ash takes his robes as he nods a thank you and heads back to his room.

Ash's heart feels a tug as he retrieves his orb to look at Lulu, faint but still visible "I see now why you were picked" he sighs heavily as he puts the orb back.

Kagome and Inuyasha enjoy a close stroll in the garden, not a word is spoken, their smiles say it all. Sango walks with Shippo and Kirara many steps ahead.

"Afternoon sleepy heads" Ash appears behind them with a smile, walking over he extends his arm to Sango. "This way, if you will?". Sango smiles with a bow and wraps her arm in his. Ash leads them to the center of the garden where Diamond waits their arrival.

"Inuyasha" Diamond walks up and hugs him kissing his cheek before she looks at the others "Ash we are missing one."

"Yes Master" he bows "the Monk will be here directly."

"Very well then" Diamond turns and her hahimehimes as she takes a seat at the crystal table. "We shall eat while we wait."

"Why did you send for us?" Inuyasha asks while taking a seat.

"We will talk when the whole party..." Diamond looks up with a smile "Ahh... here he comes now." The others turn to see Miroku. Sango's mouth drops open, as does the rest of the gangs. Miroku walks tall, staff in hand however, his oar is illuminating a light purple glow, he is clad in layer upon layer of different colors of purple the top layer hemmed slightly higher then the on below, the top robe a deep purple. The light silk shimmered off his eyes as it danced with the wind, hugging tightly to his legs with every step.

"What?" Miroku greets them all with a smile.

"Miroku..." Kagome spits "WOW!"

Inuyasha snaps his head in her direction "WHAT?" Then he looks at Sango. Throwing his hands in the air "STOP IT" he barks, both girls snap out of their gaze at Inuyasha's bark.

Ash giggles.

"Sit Miroku, we have been waiting for you." Diamond motions to a seat across from Sango. Diamond sits acrorom rom Inuyasha, and Ash across from Kagome. Sango sits not taking her eyes off the shinning Monk, with a sly smile she sits back and watches while he settles in his chair. Miroku finally settles looking up he catches Sango's smile. Being caught a little off guard, he quickly looks behind him. Finding no one there, he turns to meet her smile with a 'Miroku the Monk grin'. Sango quickly drops her head and twitches in her chair.

"Well now..." Diamond clears her throat.

Ash giggl
S
Sango turns red.

"We have all come for a reason. My reason for coming is to tell you your reasons, for coming. Ash is here...Reason Being... he will answer your questions." Diamond stands up and starts to walk around the table. "Inuyasha, I am Diamond the Crystal Master and Old friend of your fathers. Many years ago, he came to me and asked of your future. It saddened him at first but as it came, it grew happy." Diamond stops behind her chair and smiles at Inuyasha. "However, not truly convinced by what I had seen he set forth to make sure it would happen. He has hidden two halves of a Diary one half is yours the other Sesshoumaru's. Now! Listen to me boy because here is where it gets tricky" she bends to speak in his ear. "So try and keep up." She then starts a slow stride around the table. "Your brother does Not know that the Diary is in two halves, Nor does he know of are meeting. You... Inuyasha must find your half before he finds his."

"Why?"

"Because... where as his half can destroy the world... Your half can save it."

"What?" Inuyasha shoots to a stand. "You just said it was to ensure my happiness now it can destroy the world." Inuyasha cocks his head and crosses his arms. "Either I am missing something or You're leaving something out."

Ash giggles.

"Your Father, Inuyasha is more powerful then you will ever fathom."

"Humph... Yeah, that's why he is dead."

"His time came, that is why he is dead." Diamond smiles calmly. "However during his life he collected many secrets of many powerful demons. Potions. Techniques, magic... You name it your Father dabbled in it. Once he mastered a new secret, he would write it down. Thus- the Diary" Diamond says with a cutesy attitude.

"Why split it in half?" Inuyasha questions.

"To bring them back together" Ash smirks "of course."

"But... Why would he give Sesshoumaru such power?"

"To make up for the sword thiouldould be my guess." Kagome thinks aloud.

Ash giggles.

Diamond smiles "Yes parents are hard to understand in that way." So iSo it is true." Miroku speaks. "You really can tell futures."

"Yes." Diamond smiles.

"Will you tell me mine?"

"For a price."

"O.K." Miroku relaxes "Name it."

Diamond laughs, "For your future she will have to pay." Diamond places her hand on Sango's shoulder, which makes Sango sit strait, back tight.

"WHAT?" Inuyasha questions. "Doesn't seem far, if you ask me."

"Well... No one did." Diamond smirks.

"Hump
"
"What price would I have to pay for his future." Sango asks and Miroku looks at her.

"Why my Dear, you only need to confess." Diamond rubs her arm and kisses her cheek. "SO! Now we know the reason for the Monk, he wants to know his future, and Sango's reason is to clear her heart. However my Dear." Diamond slowly caresses Kagome's arm raising her hand to rest on her shoulder. "Your reason... we have not yet gotten to."

"M...my reason?" Kagome stutters.

"Any thoughts on that" Diamond brings her face down to Kagome's "Ummm, well do you?" She jolts to a stand. "Well I do... your reason for being here is to help Inuyasha read his half of the Diary."

"w..w..what?"

"Yes... the words will only appear to his eyes if his heart knows true love."

"WELL THEN THAT SETTLES THAT" Inuyasha spits with a laugh.

"Settles what?" Miroku asks "SH "SHIT!... Sesshoumaru's heart will never know true love" He kicks his feet up on the table "We got this one in the bag." He relaxes back. "We don't even have to look" He finishes off by tossing some cake in his mouth.

Ash giggles.

Inuyasha looks at him and their eyes meet. Inuyasha shakes his head for a double take. Did his eyes change color...yes...I'm sure that's what I saw. "Something funny Ash?" Inuyasha snaps with attitude.

"Little Brother, I-nu-yasha." Ash stands "Your father planed this whole game. Do you think he would not give Sesshoumaru a chance at reading his h"
"

"But how?"

"Your brother travels with a human, a female human, sent here by your father to guide Sesshoumaru on his quest."

"Sent by my Father?"

"Yes... I am sure it is all explained how and why in the Diary."

"But!..." Kagome buts in, "If his heart knows true love, then he wouldn't want to end the world... Right?"

"I'm afraid..." Diamond speaks with a sad monotone. "That your Father didn't take into account that a Broken heart hates more intensely, than a heart that's never known."

"Ohhh!" Kagome sighs heavy, her voice Truly sad. "She will break his heart?"

"STOP THAT!" Inuyasha barks.

Ash giggles.

The conversation went on until early evening when they all broke off and went their separate ways. Inuyasha high in a tree trying hard to answer all the questions in his head. Kagome lies on their bed wondering if she is Inuyasha's true love or is it "Kikiyo". Sango sits in her room pondering over what she is to confess. Miroku walks the garden wondering if his future would be told.

"Lord Inuyasha."

"Ash" appears in front of him.

"Do you truly understand your quest."

"Humph!" Inuyasha relaxes against the tree arms cuddling his head. "My quest is to gather the jewel shards."

"Does your Father's Diary not interest you at all?"

"Look.. Ash... I will play Fathers game, however I think there is more to it."

"OH! How so?"

"First he teams Sesshoumaru up with some poor human, who will probably die before this is all over anyway. Secondly he has plotted brother against brother for a 'Maybe' Diary, and ThirdlyWhy Why did he place you as the referee?"

"Referee?"

"Yeah!" Inuyasha snaps to a sitting position. "I think there's more in this for you then your letting on about."

"I see...very well then..." Ash smirks, "I will tell you."

"Listening!" Inuyasha relaxes back but keeps his focus on Ash.

"Do you want it kept simple?" Inuyasha nods a 'yes' "Very well... Your Father saved my life and I owe him."

"So what your telling me is... Houghought you in on this silly game because you owe him one?"

"I owe him two" Ash holds up two fingers as he corrects him. "My life and my Mothers."

"Well if you know so much about it. Can you tell my what is in the diary and his purpose for this game."

"I think his purpose for the game is to bring his Son's together, as for what is in the Diary" Ash smirks. "That is THE secret." He is gone.

"Humph!"

Kagome is fuming right about now, poor girl worked herself up in a frenzy thinking of that 'other girl' "JerkJerkJerkJerk!" she stomped as she paced.

Miroku stands at the mountains edge watching the sun set slowly, his thoughts broken at the sound of footsteps coming. Now his ears focus on the sound but his eyes do not move. "Miroku." He relaxes at the sound of Sango's voice.

"Yes?"

"Can I ask you something."

Miroku turns to her with a sincere smile "Anything... you know that."

"Why do you want to know... about your future. Would it beexciexciting getting there if you already know where you're going?"

Miroku turns back to the setting sun. "Sango...I really only want to know, how much longer I have to live." Sango's whole body tinged at that thought, she always blocked it out. She just went on daily assuming all the while, that Miroku would always be with them...her.

"I have thought all day Miroku... a small price to pay and gladly I would... If only I knew what to confess."

"Miss Sango." Ash appears behind them. "A small price you say. How big a price would you pay for Master Miroku's future?" His lips rise slyly across his face. "Would you give your life?"

"I wouldn't let her!" Miroku snaps with anger.

"Down boy." Ash motions with a giggle. "I'm not asking her to do it, I'm simply asking if she would."

"I...I..."

"Come now Don't Stutter." Ash smiles.

"Yes...if it meant that much to him."

"What are you playing Ash" Miroku asks.

"I was simply helping her with her confessional." With a tilt of his head, he is gone.

Sango's hands rise to her open mouth and she turns slowly to Miroku. "What Sango... what is wrong?"

"I know." She says moving closer to Miroku, looking up into his eyes she smiles as a cool ze wze washes over them dancing with their hair and clothing try hard to get them to touch. "I love you." She confesses. Miroku stands dumbfounded unable to even breathe. Ash pops up long enough to snatch up the 'Jaw Dropped' Fox and Cat demon. Reappearing beside Inuyasha, dropping the little ones in his lap "You baby-sit tonight" he says and disappears.

As Inuyasha returns to his room, he opens the door to one angry girl. "Kagome?" He asks with a sweet tone.

"How could you Inuyasha?" She points in his face. "I don't know why you always do this to me." Inuyasha stands frozen, stuck in disbelief. "I don't want to ever see you again!" She says as she stomps out. Inuyasha creeks on over falling stiffthe the floor.

"ASH!" Diamond snickers. "What did you do to that poor girl Kagome?"

"I didn't do that Mother, she worked herself into that frenzy." Ash smiles. "Poor Inuyasha, his road may be harder then Sesshoumaru's" Diamond giggles in agreement.


Ash feeling frogy couldn't go without taunting Sesshoumaru a little. Popping up he stands beside Sesshoumaru on his puff hovering over the mountainside watching Lulu's slow descent. "I see your style of Love Making has slowed her down a bit."

"Go Away!"

"Now...Now... why sound so angry... Did you not enjoy it as mush as her?"

"Ash... Why do you fancy her?"

"Why do You?"

"I do not."

"Then why do you stand and watch...Just leave I would gladly take her off your hands."

"I was going to leave her for you Ash..." Sesshoumaru looks at him with slitted eyes. "But I havcidecided to watch you Grow Weak, with every torture I give."

"I see..." Ash smiles. "You think I have fallen in love. Good!..." His face lights up. "It goes accordaling to plane." With that said, Ash is gone.

Miroku snapping out of his dumbness quickly wraps around Sango before she takes it back. Embracing her tightly he sniffs her hair, rubbing his face in it, always wanting to be this close to her, and here he is, pretty much as close as he can get. Sango tries to push away but he squeezes tighter "Miroku" she muffles in his chest "Miroku I can't breathe." OH! Miroku quickly backs away to give her some air.

"Sango...I...I..."

"Here!" Ash stands with an innocent smile as Sango and Miroku turn to him. Extending his arms Ash hands them each a blanket, when they accept he is gone as quick as he came. Miroku turns back to Sango, who is looking down at her blanket, as she lifts her head Miroku swallows hard at the mischief grin on her face.

"Sa...Sango" He stutters as her grin widens. She flips the blanket open, holding it by two corners she lays it flat on the ground. What little rays the setting sun shined, reflected off Miroku like a new dawn. Sango walks over to him, he stands still- unmoving. She takes the blanket and staff out of hinds and lets them drop where they may. Without a word, Sango bends down and pulls his top robe off over his head. With the lifting of his arms he fights her None. "Sango." He manages to spit again, considering his mouth is very dry.

"Yes." She answers in the sexiest tone he has ever heard; as she bends down to relieve him of yet another robe.

"I will...I mean..."

"I know." She smiles as he stands and lets her undress him.

"I've never really..."

"Nor I." The vixen sheds him of another robe.

"You want...Me?"

"Very Much." Sango breaths in his ear, he now stands naked. "I have wanted you for so long." Mirokabs abs her face and brings his to meet it locking on to her with passionate furry. Moving his hands quickly, as if he has never done this before, her clothes drop to the ground to lie by his. Pushing her from the embrace he stands arms length to gaze upon her body.

"OH...Sango." Is all his stupid mouth could spit as his body melted from her beauty. Where to Start? His mind wonders as his hands do a gig. Barely lifting up then dropping back down to his sides. Wanting to touch yet scared to. Is it Real? He went to lift his hand again and Sango quickly grabs it before it can retreat. Placing it on her breast, she looks at him with a smile. Moving his fingers a little causes her to moan, sending pulses through his body. Quickly realizing where his mouth should be he bends over and sucks her other breast into his mouth, with another moan her body relaxes and he catches her before she falls. Lying her down gently, he moves to her side. Their eyes meet once more. Miroku's questio and and hers reassuring. She smiles and runs her fingers through his hair. After returning her smile he starts at her neck moving up behind her ear and back down to her shoulder, covering her with licks and kisses. Sango resting her hand on his head gives it a little push to move it down until his warm mouth covers her hardened nipple. Taking to her guides he stops when her hands rests without pressure. Sango does a buck and moan as he nibbles her peek. Taking her hand she moves his on down stopping only when she cannot reach, hoping he gets the picture. And He Does! Moving his hand down he comes back up over the spread of her legs digging eagerly but gently for what she wants him to find. With a jolt and 'yes' moan, Sango lets him know that's the spot he needs to focus on. Miroku the quick learning Monk that he is moves on down to view this spot with his eyes. Rubbing his finger over her clit makes her whole body jolt, he does the motion again licking his lips with hunger, wanting to lick her, taste her, Yes! He even wanted to bite her... Bite that spot that seems to please her so. "Sango" he saystly tly as he parts the folds that protect such a delicate bundle of nerves "Sango" he says again for her to look at him. Sango weakm pam passion lifts her head to look at him. "Please" she begs as he swipes his wet warm tongue over her clit. Upon contact Sango takes in a deep breathe, holding it until his tongue strokes her again. Exhaling out her legs spread further apart inviting him to explore even more. Sliding one finger down following the guides of her folds, when he reaches the end, he slides his finger in, slowly releasing her juices. "Miroku" she gives him the O K to continue. This time easing in two, her body raises to meet them. Placing one hand on his head, she pushes him down making him suck on her clit instead of lick it. Bucking her hips with every stroke of his hand. This was it and she knew it."MirokuMirokuMiroku" she calls out while bucking faster up to meet his fingers. "Yessssssssssssssssss!" Shouthouts as her whole body goes numb under his touch.

"Sango?" He looks up, her head is turned and she lays unmoving. "Sango?" He moves up to look at her face, her eyes are closed but she has a wide smile. "Sango." He says softly and her eyes pop open. "Are you O.K. Did I do something wrong?" Miroku asks with much concern. Sango pounces; throwing him down, she now hovers above, moving quickly so that she now sits squatting over him. Miroku lies very still enjoying the moment. Sango reaches down and positions him against her. Slowly she slides down on him, but-oppps- not to much She teases. She dances around awhile teasing him, not letting him feel all of her warmth. Finally... after she can't stand the teasing anymore, she slides slowly down on him, drowning him as far as she can in her juices. Miroku's body jolts and his eyes roll back, as she gracefully glides up and down on his shaft. Sango watches with a smile of delight as she tortures Miroku just righirokiroku's instincts take over as he grabs her hips and helps her to pump faster. Sango does her best to keep up, his body does another jolt or two then he stops her and holds her tight. She sits -still mounted on top as he pulses inside her. "Sango" He says after a moment, she lies down on top of him. He reaches up and wraps happily around her as a cool breeze comes to sting their sweat soaked bodies.

Lulu descends the last stretch well after the sun as gone. With no one to greer, sr, she flops on her ass with a sigh and leans against the mountainside. 'Figures' she spits closing her eyes ready to 'sleep, just need a little sleep' she tells herself as she relaxes more.

"You are slow." Sesshoumaru barks as he hovers on his puff.

Lulu without looking thinking and barely breathing from exhaustion, bends one arm to bring her middle finger straight up in the air. Sesshoumaru gives a little head tilt as this reaction. "Come" He commands and Lulu drops her arm but sits unflinching. Reaching down he grabs her by her shirt and flops her on the puff, at his feet, like a rag doll. Lulu with slow movements sits up in front of him both facing the same direction. Lulu having a hard time staying awake keeps jerking her head as it bobs tiredly. Her head then falls back to rest on Sesshoumaru's legs, tucking comfortably between his calf's. Sesshoumaru looks down, his first instinct is to kick her over, but then like a needle he saw the bite at the foot of her breast, a bead of blood seeps out slowly. "Humph." He says as he looks up "Feelings." That thought angered him, without looking back down, he nudges her off him and she falls limp to her side.

"Lord Sesshoumaru you have returned." Jaken greets him eagerly as the puff descends from the sky. "The Human?" Jaken says with surprise. "I am surprised you traveled so long without killing her." Jaken giggles.

"Shut up, Jaken." Sesshoumaru warns as he reaches down and grabs Lulu by her shirt, the puff shrinks and he flips her over his shoulder. Her bags hit the ground and something's spill out. "Take those to her room." Sesshoumaru says as he enters the Castle, Lulu draped over his shoulder. Sesshoumaru carries Lulu gliding gracefully through the halls, his mind empty of thought, and his face void of expression. Lulu's limp body exhausted from her torturous adventure hangs helplessly from his body. A big wind blows through all the castle windows, to stir on the inside. Dancing around Sesshoumaru and up his nose caring with it the many smells of Lulu. Now climbing the staircase to her room his mind sorts out the smells of her sweat, and blood, and something sweet, through clouded by other smells, he can smell it... It smells "Sweet" his lips pucker into a small smile. Entering her room, he places her gently on her bedding. Why? Hell, he does not know, becauometomething inside told him so. Standing tall, he looks down at her frail f "Br "Bravo-Human." He smirks. "You have showed me shame." He walks to the door but turns again when she stirs. "You stood unveiled... Yet... I Could Not Look."
