Chapter 3 – Introductions

"…and I swear to Kami, you pathetic hentai, that if you ever so much as INSINUATE that you are going to touch me in any INAPPPROPRIATE way EVER AGAIN then I will smash the back of your head in with my Hiraikotsu, take you to Kaede to get you healed, then drag you out to the springs in nothing but your naked glory, make you stand in the water until your entire body is shrivelled like a prune, then shove you under a freezing cold waterfall before smashing your head in AGAIN and then giving you to Inuyasha to finish off!"

"You really think me naked is glory?"

"PERVERT!!" WHACK.

Kagome entered to this scene: Miroku lying flat on the floor, his head smashed into the wooden floorboards, with Sango floating over him, holding her fist out over his body. Shippo sat in the corner, covertly sniggering at the pair.

"Hey, guys."

"Kagome!"

"Lady Kagome!"

"We didn't think that you would be back for a week!"

"Where are my niece and nephew?!"

"Kagome, did you bring any ninja snacks for me?"

Kagome laughed and held out her arms. "Easy, guys! Actually, I brought some people for you all to meet." She looked over her shoulder. "Come on guys, it'll be fine. Just watch out for the one with the ponytail."

In entered the Cullens. Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, Edward and, last but not least, Bella.

Sango looked thrilled. "Are these...? It's so great to meet you all!"

"Indeed," Miroku murmured. He had risen from the floor, a strange gleam in his eyes. "What beautifully charming ladies. I wonder, if any of you would possibly consider-"

WHAM.

"No they wouldn't monk."

"I was only asking," he said defensively, rubbing his head. "No need to be so violent, my dear; you know you're the only girl for me!"

"DIE, HOUSHI!"

"Guys! We have people!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Right," Sango muttered. "You've been given a few more hours of life, monk. Enjoy them."

"So…" said Kagome, stepping in between them. "Can I suggest we go outside? It's getting kinda crowded in here."

…

"This is doctor Carlisle Cullen and his wife Esme," Sango bowed in respect. Shippo, however, tugged on Esme's trouser leg. She smiled and went down to see him.

"My name's Shippo."

"Hello, Shippo," she smiled. She held out her arms to him. With a crow, Shippo jumped into her embrace.

"Emmett and his wife Rosalie,"

Rosalie glided forward and gave Sango a regal kiss on the cheek. Stepping back, she smiled. "I've heard so much about you from Kagome's stay."

Emmett held out his hand to Miroku. "So, you touch her in inappropriate places, huh?" he asked, winking.

"I'm thinking it was a bad idea to introduce those two," Inuyasha murmured.

"Jasper and his wife, Alice,"

Alice bounded forward with a squeal, catching Sango in a hug and kissing either cheek. Then she rushed over to Shippo, who was in Esme's arms still. "You are so cute!" she trilled.

Shippo looked absolutely ecstatic at all the attention he was receiving.

Jasper nodded and held out his hand to Sango and Miroku. "How do you do," he said formally.

Sango grasped his hand. "Arigato," she murmured. (A/N I know that means thank you, but it just kinda seemed appropriate)

"And last but not least, Edward and his girlfriend, Bella,"

Miroku slid forward, a strange glint in his eye. "Girlfriend? Could it be that you are yet unattached, my lady?"

Bella looked around, pleading for help. Edward stepped forward and growled.

"Don't mind the monk," Inuyasha said. "He's just a pervert."

Sango elbowed Miroku sharply in the ribs. "It's lovely to meet you," she said, smiling.

Edward nodded stiffly, still upset over Miroku. But Bella smiled and reached out her hand. "It's lovely to meet you too," she answered, wearing a grin.

"Mama!" Inutaisho screeched. "Mama!"

Kagome threw them a weary look. "Excuse me. Duty calls. Inuyasha, get the bag will you?"

…

They sat on the mat in a rough circle. Kagome and Inuyasha had put the twins to bed, meaning that they were now free to talk.

Sango leaned back on her elbows. "So, what did you guys want to do in the feudal era? Wow, I make it sound like a holiday," she smiled.

Alice launched into it. "Well, I was hoping we could visit the demon slayers' village, and the Goshinboku tree, and the village, and-"

"Slow down, Alice!" Edward laughed. He had calmed down once Sango had punished Mirkou for his earlier discretion. The bruise was going to be a very impressive colour.

Miroku smiled. "Well, my lovely lady, we have time for all of that. But, for now, how about the ladies visit the hot springs?"

As the girls exited, Kagome caught Inuyasha's arm. "Keep an eye on the monk."
