Sesshou-maru in Bondage
By Icka! M. Chif
Inuyasha was the first to notice it, but Kagome was the one to bring it to everyone's attention. Their little group was on their way back to the well, so Kagome could return to her time for a while. Inuyasha wasn't happy about it, so he was sulking. Which meant he wasn't in the most charitable moods, especially when pointing out strange sights.
"Tell me I'm not the only one seeing this." Kagome stated, stopping in mid step. Shippou, Sango and Miroku all looked in the direction she was staring, the latter barely avoiding crashing into the tail end of her bike.
"Isn't that your brother, Inuyasha?" Miroku inquired.
"-Half- brother." Inuyasha snarled, looking away disdainfully.
"Should I exterminate him then?"
Sango's inquiry was cut short by Shippou's peel of delight. "Rin-chan!!!" The small kitsune was out of the bike's basket and running toward the figure of Sesshou-maru before anyone could stop him. A small girl a little taller than him squealed in joy and ran forward to meet him as well.
"Shippou-chan!!!" The two kids jumped up and down, chattering at each other in high speeds, both obviously excited to see the other one.
Kagome took this as a sign of all being well and walked toward them, the other
three hesitantly on her heels. She paused in front of Sesshou-maru, the sparkle in her eyes betraying the calm face she wore.
Sesshou-maru looked down his nose at her. "Laugh and die." Was all he said.
Inuyasha let loose a small bark of laughter, that grew into full fledged howls of laughter. He was already dead meat as far as Sesshou-maru was concerned, and his older brother couldn't really do anything to him at the moment.
For somehow, the Great and Mighty Sesshou-maru had gotten tied up in his own whip. From his neck down to his ankles, the glowing green ribbon wrapped around him like a multitude of writhing snakes. With as tight as they were, it was a wonder he was still standing at all. He certainly couldn't have stood back up if he had fallen down.
Sesshou-maru merely sighed, like he shouldn't have expected anything less from his brother. After a few moments, he finally snapped: "If you're just going to stand there smirking you might as well help me!"
Kagome took this as the cue to join Inuyasha rolling on the ground with laughter. Sango and Miroku soon followed, staying up right just a little bit longer than the girl from the future.
In the mean time, Shippou was entertaining Rin with various tricks and treats out of Kagome's pack. She had discovered that she did like gum drops, hated the heavy books (Even if they did have strange pictures in them) and agreed with Shippou that the thing that everyone told Shippou that something called a 'bra' was, in fact, a double barreled sling shot.
Jaken had wandered over as well, curious. And if Rin got in trouble, he'd get in trouble too. In a friendly mood, Shippou invited him over as well and offered him some of contents of Kagome's bag he knew were edible.
"What are these?" Jaken asked, holding up a small jar of roundish brown pellets.
Shippou peered at them for a second, then sniffed the lid. He made a face, pushing it back toward the reptilian youkai. "Chocolate covered espresso beans." He explained, rubbing his nose. "You can have them, they're too bitter for me."
Jaken opened the container and cautiously sniffed one. It smelled alright to him. He shrugged and popped one in his mouth. There was a slight pause as the other two watched him eat it. Jaken then grinned, straightening.
"These are great!!!" He cheered, popping a couple more in his mouth.
"Rin wants to try!!" The small girl scooted over and snagged one from her reptilian friend. She popped it in her mouth and chewed. She swallowed, making a face. "Bitter." She complained, taking a gum drop to clear the taste.
Rin sucked on the gumdrop for a minute, brows furrowed in concentration. Silently, she took another coffee covered espresso bean from Jaken and ate it. Her face lit up.
"Shippou-chan! Gotta try this!!" She grinned. "Stick the bean in the gumdrop, *then* eat it!!"
Curious, Shippou took a bean and stuffed it into a large gumdrop. He gave a little shrug, and tossed it in his mouth.
A second later, his eyes lit up. "It IS good!!! Gimme another!"
"Me too!" Rin grinned.
"I can eat more than you!!!" Jaken chortled, attempting to clutch the beans closer to his chest, his eyes taking on a maniac gleam.
"Can not!" Shippou shot back.
"Can too!"
"Not! Rin eat more than you!" With that, Rin tackled her companion, sending the canister into the air. Fortunately, Shippou caught it, and proceeded to dig in. Finding their prey gone, the other two went after the hapless kitsune, which resulted in a wrestling/tickling/bean scarfing match.
Their play merely paused when they realised they had somehow eaten all of the chocolate covered espresso beans. They then moved on to the other sugary sweets in Kagome's pack. Licorice, chocolate malted milk balls, jelly beans and a liquid drink called 'Jolt' soon followed in the foot steps of the beans.
They finally paused when the bag had been emptied, it's contents scattered and their bellies were full.
"So..." Rin giggled, flopping onto her stomach, eyes shining just a tad too bright as she looked at Shippou. "Where were you guys going?"
"A well!" Shippou said proudly, somehow managing not to blur into multiple
kitsune. "Wanna see?! It's not far!"
With a vibrating head nod from the girl, Shippou and Rin were zipping their way through the woods the Bone Gobblers Well. Jaken followed, his course just a bit more erratic than the younger ones do to the fact it was hard to run and carry a Head Staff at the same time.
"Wow!" Rin clapped her hands in glee as they stared down the opening of the well. "Is it deep?"
"Naw." Shippou shook his head. "Maybe two people deep."
"I wonder how many people you could fit down there." Jaken mused.
There was a slight pause as they contemplated that thought. A crow flew over head, cawing.
"We could... find out..." Rin mused, tugging on her lower lip.
The three exchanged looks for a few seconds. Then as one, they suddenly ran back the way they came.
Inuyasha, Sango, Kagome and Miroku were having a bit of an argument. Sango wanted to kill Sesshou-maru. Kagome wanted to free him. Inuyasha was torn between agreeing with Sango and just leaving. Miroku was trying hard not to laugh his butt off.
Then three little blurs buzzed in and the problem was solved. With an undignified startled yelp, Sesshou-maru vanished leaving a glowing green streak that marked where he had gone.
"What the-" Had just enough time to ask before she too was whisked off.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted.
"We're under attack!" Sango yelped. Before Miroku could say anything, he was gone too.
Then Sango vanished.
Inuyasha had just enough time to bite out a foul curse before he found himself looking up at the sky through the well's tiny entrance.
three small faces peered down at them.
"It's not even half full." Jaken said, sounding sad.
"So we find more people!" Rin cheered.
"Whoop!" With that familiar sound, the three heads vanished.
Inuyasha snarled, trying to get a purchase to jump out of the well when he found something soft and wiggling under him.
"PERVERT!!!" Kagome shouted.
Oops.
But thankfully, before she could say the accursed word, another body joined them in the well.
"Kikyo?!" Inuyasha yelped as he suddenly found the undead miko on his lap.
"WHAT?!"
Another body fell on top of her, staving off the upcoming argument. Which was followed by another. And another. And another.
Scouring the woods, Shippou, Rin and Jaken managed to find Kaede, Kikyo's entire village, a really fast wolf youkai, a pack of Wolf youkai, a youkai girl flying on a feather, a man in a baboon skin and several horses. And put Inuyasha back in the well several times. He kept crawling out.
"Is that everyone?" Jaken asked, jumping up and down on top of one of the villagers heads. The highest head was just a couple of inches above the of the well.
"Think so." Shippou grinned from his perch on top of someone's foot. Next to him, Rin nodded her agreement, a smile still burning brightly on her face.
"So how many does that make?" Jaken asked, pausing in his jumping.
"Uh..." Rin and Shippou shared a look of confusion. They didn't know. "...Didn't keep count."
"Bugger. So how are we supposed to know how many people fit in the well?"
This was answered by a sharp glow from below them, followed by a sinking feeling as the amount of people in the well began to vanish.
"Hold on!!!" Shippou shouted, glomping on to the foot for dear life as they slid deeper into the well. Rin did so, hugging Shippou's large fluffy tail. She then proceeded to giggle as it tickled her. For such an desperate situation, she didn't seem too concerned.
"Ack!" Jaken let out one final scream as the sinking feeling overtook him and the world around them vanished.
"We're faallllling!!!" Shippou wailed as they appeared to float through a strange blue water like area.
Rin giggled. "Nope! We're floating!!!"
"Oh. Right." Shippou's ears perked up as she realised she was correct. "We gotta find out how many people fit!!"
"Ah!" As if in a panic, the three small people proceeded to scamper, climb, jump and general cause more havoc in an already chaotic situation as they hurried to the front of the 'line'. Kagome was wedged between Sesshou-maru and Inuyasha, her necklace glowing as the two half brothers cursed.
"Heeeey, Kagome!" Shippou patted her on the top of the head. She glared at him, looking about as happy about the change of events as her companions.
"We're there!" Rin squealed.
The three trouble makers threw themselves out of the well as people began to appear in it. They quickly scrambled to the top of the well and proceeded to count (not very well) as the humans, youkai, horses and others climbed out.
"108!" Shippou reported as the last one came out.
"4two!"
"Um... I lost count..."
"You can count this..." Inuyasha growled, rolling one sleeve up as the large crowed of misplaced time travelers started to mill about the shrine grounds in search of an answer. Shippou let out an eep.
"Scatter!" Jaken squawked, running off. Rin and Shippou followed, quickly losing the irate half youkai in the crowds.
In the mean time, Sesshou-maru had decided he had enough. Seeing as everyone was distracted, he made a break for it, running as fast as he could while still bound.
Jaken noticed, and took off after him.
Rin saw Jaken leave, and skipped after the toady.
Shippou followed Rin, cheerfully bouncing after his friend.
This in turn drew the attention of Sota, who followed wondering who and what the little fuzzy bouncing giggling thing was.
Kagome, of course, then had to chase after her brother.
Both Kouga and Inuyasha noticed the shard sensor running off from the crowd and went into hyper-protection mode, following Kagome. And insulting each other the entire way.
Kagura saw Kouga heading off and decided to follow after. One never knew if the wolf had access to more shards, after all.
Kikyo shadowed Inuyasha discretely.
Realising his daughter was on the move and distrusting her intentions, Naraku followed Kagura.
Kaede baa-baa saw both her sister and Naraku on the move and decided that she had best keep an eye on them.
The villagers, not quite sure where to go, followed the old priestess. She usually knew where to go, and they were used to following her.
The horses decided to join for the heck of it. Everyone else was running anyway and they didn't want to feel left out.
Sesshou-maru glanced around wildly. Once he'd stepped out of the comfort of the trees that surrounded the shrine, he'd been launched into a world that defied logic. Strange scents he couldn't identify and wasn't sure if he wanted to. Buildings as tall as the hills. Wagons that drove themselves.
Humans everywhere.
It boggled the mind.
He became aware the sound of foot steps behind him and darted over some of the strange wagons to escape. The footsteps didn't stop. A human screamed as he jumped over them. He ignored it in favour of looking for an escape route.
Off to one side was a tunnel that the humans were walking in and out of like ants out of a ant hill. He could hide in there.
Or so he hoped.
***
"He's heading for the end of the station!" Kagome shouted, pointing to Sesshou-maru at the end of the track. A bell rang above them, startling the already panicky villagers. Kagome would have groaned if there had been time.
"Trains coming!" She called, following Inuyasha as he chased his brother.
"What?" He shouted back.
Kouga gave her a funny look, staying along side her. "What's a train?"
As if to answer his question, the sound of the air being pushed through a very large tunnel filled the room. A polite voice above them informed everyone that the train was arriving from the Nerima station. A second later, the subway train pulled up and opened it's doors, a flood of people stepping out.
Inuyasha cursed up ahead. "He's getting on the train!" He called back.
"What?" Kagome called. She was immediately pushed on to the train by the villagers who had merely heard the words 'On the train'.
Amazingly, all the doors stayed open long enough for everyone of their group to make it on to the train.
"What's this?" Kouga asked, waving to his pack who were in the car behind them. "Some sort of strange serpent?"
"It's a subway train." Kagome sighed, leaning against one of the poles. "It's how we travel here." As they passed by the station, she was minorly shocked to see Hojo standing on the end of the track, talking to an elderly gentleman who was smoking a cigarette.
Her distraction did not last long as she suddenly felt a hand stroking her skirt. She jumped and looked around for the offending hand. Kouga was looking around at the various posters that lined the top of the walls, apparently enthralled. He didn't do it.
She glanced around. No Miroku either. Inuyasha was in the car behind them. Kouga's entire pack was in the next car up, and she could swear she saw Sango's boomerang past them. It was hard to tell in with the small windows.
The horses were no where to be seen, but she had the funny feeling the were around there somewhere around here.
"Kyaa!" She jumped again as something reached -under- her skirt to caress her butt. Kouga gave her a funny look as she frantically looked around.
There was no one there.
***
Kouga had better keep his hands to himself, Inuyasha seethed. He did not like this moving car. It smelled funny and there were too many people. At least Sesshou-maru was in the same predicament, he smirked.
Before he felt the unmistakable feel of hands on his butt. "Pretty girl" Someone cooed in his ear. "Do you have a tail?"
He let out an outraged squawk as he spun, the Tetsusaiga transforming as he quickly pulled it from it's sheath. "Who's a girl?!"
Everyone hastily backed to the other end of the car.
***
Sesshou-maru sighed, leaning against the back wall of the vehicle as he watched the walls of the tunnel fly by. Behind him, Shippou had turned back into a smaller version of his balloon self and Rin, Jaken and Kagome's brother batted him around the carriage.
"Hey, baby..." A voice slurred behind him. A hand reached up and petted his hair. "C'mere often?"
Sesshou-maru's eyebrow twitched. A GIRL? Some stupid human dared to presume that HE, Sesshou-maru, son of the Great Lord of the Western Lands, was a pathetic human female?
In his icy rage, he discovered that maybe he could move after all...
***
Toward the front of the subway train, several women realised that they were still holding various kitchen utensils. Pots, pans and the occasional chopstick.
They looked down at the strangely dressed men who were attempting to hold various body parts of the women and grinned.
***
Behind them, Kikyo and Kaede had sat down and were having a very pleasant discussion, unmolested.
And for some odd reason, the majority of the people in the car were sitting shock still, odufa's stuck to their foreheads.
***
Kouga's pack decided to make the best of a bizarre situation and proceeded to calmly relive their fellow passengers of all goods worth any value or edibility.
They weren't exactly sure where they were, but they were having a grand time of it.
***
Sango was smirking, one hand resting on her Hiraikotsu, the other on her neko youkai companion. Kirara had transformed into her larger size and was growling.
Sango's 'pussy' was causing considerable amount of damage to anyone who was foolish enough to try to attempt to pet her.
***
"Amazing." Miroku commented, cheerfully talking to the group of men sitting beside him as the train began to rock from multiple explosions. "So the majority of the people on this train are on their way to a Hentai convention?"
***
The train came to a stop, just all train rides eventually do.
Only there wasn't really much left that one could honestly call it a train. Much less subway cars.
The passengers disembarked and dispersed. Some quickly headed upstairs to the main platform while others decided that now was a good time to pass out, much to the shock and surprise of the people who were waiting to get -on- the subway train.
When the police and medical officials arrived several minutes later, they paid no attention to the large and strange group of people (and horses) dressed in period clothing who were leaving the station, heading in the vague direction of the Higurashi Shrine.
Contently eating ice cream cones.
Except for one of the horses, who had found a subway sandwich place in the subway station. But he was also a horse of a different colour.
Fin.
Authour Notes:
Somethings are references to my trip to Japan, Fall two000.
Yes, there is a Subway sandwich place in the Kyoto Subway station. It's a little ways a way from the Ice Cream Parlour.
Hojo talking to an elderly gentleman smoking a cigarette was a tip of the hat to Emil from Boston, who was left standing on the end of the platform of the Hikari Station in Kyoto as the rest of our touring group rode the Bullet Train to Tokyo. ^^;;
Fare? Youkai don't need to pay no stinkin' fare!
Yesh, the subway stations are very confusing, maps withstanding. The train is underground, it stops on small platforms where you have less than 30 seconds to get on or off before it's gone again. Upstairs in the larger station are entire malls, like
miniature cities.
And usually above that is the actual city.
Could spend an entire story trying to explain actually getting around there. Hopefully the story gives you some idea, if simplified.
Heh.
