A Rozen Maiden Asks InuYasha for a Lollipop in a Fruits Basket!?

part 2: InuYasha!

Maria touched down, and then began climbing the ivy up to the top of the dry well. She got to the top, and Yuki poked his head out. She let him scamper up her shoulder to look around.  

It was a LOT different. Instead of the enclosed building that surrounded them in the other time, they were in a small clearing, full of sweet, open air. Instead of tall buildings off in the distance, All that could be seen in any direction was trees. Unfortunately, there was something that was supposed to be there that wasn't.  

"Kagome! InuYasha! Where are you?!" Maria yelled, unsuccessfully. They were nowhere in sight. Yuki stood up on her shoulder.  

"This is different. You weren't lying, Maria. Honestly, I thought you were." 

She shrugged. "I wouldn't see the need to. But yes, it's true. Inuyasha was a good friend of the goddess I represent. Unfortunately, he doesn't show me the same respect. INUYASHA!"  

Yuki shrunk away from Maria's massive voice, but she didn't notice. She was about to yell again when she saw a woman coming out from the trees. It wasn't Kagome, though. She was wearing armor, her black hair in a ponytail, and hauling a massive boomerang, or Hiraikotz. (spelling??) Sango.  

Maria waved. "Hey, Sango. Have you seen InuYasha or Kagome? They're supposed to meet me in my time period to go to the Festival, remember?" 

Sango shrugged. "They're out by the town. I think they're still building the shrine." 

"Shrine?"  

"Yeah. Kagome and InuYasha decided that they were going to build a shrine around the well, so Kagome can pass down the story of the Shikon jewel." 

Maria nodded. It was a historical paradox. the Higurashi shrine wouldn't have been created if a Higurashi hadn't gone back in time to build it. Funny. Maria was going to start off for the town when she realized there was something on her butt. She whipped around, swinging her leg in the air, sending the man there high into the air. "MIROKU! My goodness, you're married, and you're still a perv!"  

The monk slid up on his elbows, rubbing his red face with his hands. "I see you're as fast as ever, Maria. I'm sorry. I saw you, and I couldn't help myself." He chuckled, but Maria could hear Sango's ears whistling behind her. She started walking, just as she heard a hollow THUNK, meaning Miroku had just gotten hit again. Pity. Soon Sango and Miroku were following her, though, when she realized that it had been a while since she'd hugged Yuki, and... 

"Quick, Sango, turn around!" 

"Why?" 

"You see this rat on my shoulder?" Sango nodded.  

"Well, I was wonderng about that." 

"It's actually a boy, and he's going to transform back any second..." 

There was a POOF, and Maria screeched and barrelled into Sango, knocking them both to the ground as yuki reappeared, completely naked. Maria squeezed her eyes shut and tossed Yuki's clothes at him. Miroku just stood there, dumbfounded. But when he found that Yuki was clothed again, he said, "Ok, ladies, you can look now." 

Maria opened one eye, then another, to make sure it waw safe. Then she helped Sango to her feet. "Sorry about that. he wanted to come with, but the only way to get him through the well was for him to transform. Yuki, this is Sango and Miroku. sango, Miroku, this is Yuki. Now, I'm going to go find InuYasha." 

She began walking, only to trip over a good-sized hunk of red fur... 

"SHIPPO!!!!" 

A young boy looked up. He was sprawled out on the grass, drawing. A fox tail stuck out of his rear end, and he had pointed ears. Once he saw Maria, he jumped up and hugged her fiercely. "LAURENA! I told InuYasha you'd be back someday, and he didn't believe me! I told him, I told him!"
