After going to Shinjitsu no Shi, link in bio, I found people paired up just about everybody on Inuyasha like others have done with Gundam Wing, if you know where to look. So I decided that I would have a little fun myself. And if readers on FFN are too narrow minded to appreciate the wide range of Inuyasha Yaoi pairings then readers at Shinjitsu no Shi will.

"Who's to say what I shouldn't feel?" Full Devil Jacket - Screaming Jesus part of the chorus.

Shippo whimpered slightly as he collapsed next to Miroku his protector and friend. His right foot had been injured during yet another battle with Naraku's youkai but with Inuyasha once again getting seriously injured no one had noticed. The two girls were patching up the fallen hanyou in perpetration for the trip back to Kaede's village leaving the weaken Miroku to rest alone. Shippo whimpered again as he curled up in a cute little ball thankful none of the group had been killed. The kokitsune jumped when something touched his tail lightly, weakly. "Shippo?" Miroku asked softly hoping it was the little cubs tail and not something he would have to worry about.
Shippo turned to look behind him, "Miroku?" Tiny hands pressed down on dark cloth in protest when the young monk tired to sit up, "Lay still!"
Miroku smiled weakly but stopped trying to get up, "You worry too much Shippo." Shippo smiled when Miroku ruffled his hair. "Did we all make it?"
Flaming locks bounced as the kitsune nodded happy he could give his friend some good news, "They're taking care of Inuyasha right now. We're going to head back to the village tomorrow. Inuyasha needs to heal and it'll be a new moon soon. Are you ok?" Shippo questioned he hated it when Miroku was so pale but there was so little he could do for him.
Miroku smiled reassuringly at his little friend he did not want the normal cheerful child to worry too much over him, "I'll be fine by tomorrow so don't worry yourself over me." Shippo nodded wincing when his foot throbbed reminding him of his own ailments and that they still needed tending to.
Miroku frowned in concern hoping it was nothing, "What's wrong Shippo?"
Shippo looked up he did not want to burden Miroku but he knew better then to try and hide anything from him, "I hurt my foot." He held out his adorable little fox paw for examination hoping it was nothing too bad as well.
"Shippo this needs to be taken care of," Miroku half chided frowning in thought it was nothing too bad but it could get worst if not taken care of youkai or not.
"Inuyasha got worst and you're tired. It can wait," Shippo protested he could stand it until one of them was free he could be strong for Inuyasha.
"No Shippo it can't. Kilala!" Miroku called sitting up ignoring Shippo's look of protest sitting up was not going to kill him. Kilala ran up to him mewing softly always ready to be helpful when she could be. "Could you fetch me some bandages? Shippo hurt his foot." Kilala looked at Shippo's foot and nodded. "Good girl," Miroku praised patting her head before she ran off she was a good companion as long as you treated her well.
Shippo frowned worriedly he did not want Miroku making himself worst on his account, "Miroku you should be resting not worrying about me."
Miroku blinked at him as he leaned against the wall before sighing softly, "You don't have to act brave around me Shippo. Now come here?" Shippo limped closer to Miroku trying his best to be like Inuyasha and just ignore the pain but it was so hard. Miroku picked him up and gently set him in his lap, "What did I tell you about acting?"
"I want to be strong like Inuyasha," Shippo sighed sadly he had made Miroku worry about him but at least he was not upset.
Miroku smiled, "One dose not become strong over night give it time. Push yourself too hard you'll end up in worst shape then him." Shippo nodded in agreement he had time he just had to be willing to take it little by little unlike Inuyasha. "You're stronger then you think."
"I am!" Shippo asked cute little voice betraying his surprise however pleased it my be.
Miroku nodded chuckling softly Shippo was just too cute sometimes, "Your sprit."
Shippo blinked he had never really thought of that, "My sprit? Do you think I'll become a great youkai someday?"
Miroku smiled hugging him gently every child need encouraged now and then, "You already are, but yes you and Kilala will be slaying youkai with the best of them." Kilala ran up to them holding a small draw bag in her mouth. "Thank you Kilala." Kilala nodded and ran back into the other room. "Now let us see how bad it really is." Shippo held still as Miroku took his paw gently in his hands. "Looks like you have something stuck in there?" Miroku took a pair of tweezers and pulled it out with one quick jerk.
"Owowow.. So what was it?" Shippo asked curiosity getting the better of his pain for the moment.
Miroku held up a long white fang like tooth, "Must have been from one of the snake like ones." He commented pocketing the tooth, "No wonder it hurt."
Shippo hissed as Miroku carefully cleaned out his wound, "Where did you learn to do this kind of stuff Miroku?"
"I was friends with a healer when I was younger," Miroku answered as he worked, " Lady Kaede taught me few tricks to."
"What happened to your healer friend?" Shippo asked Miroku did not speak much of his past and he was curious about it and anyone he use to know.
Miroku smiled absently the pale old women had been so kind he did miss her but everything that lived died, "She was old and just died. Her name was Rainna."
Shippo bit his lip, "I'm sorry," He comforted bowing his head to watch Miroku's hands work.
"Thank you Shippo, but that was a long time ago," Miroku informed him not surprise he was curious, " She's at peace now."
Shippo nodded thankful for that little bit of comfort, "Do you think my father's at peace to? Kaede said those killed by youkai sometimes have trouble passing over."
"Yes they do. I'm sure his watching you right now," Miroku assured him thinking of his own father he was still unsure what happened to a soul trapped in the void.
"Do you think he's proud of me? I couldn't avenge him," Shippo asked young voice sad.
Miroku nodded he knew how Shippo felt, "You tried Shippo it's all any of us can do. My father's killer still lives."
"But he's Naraku! You can't beat something like that all alone!" Shippo protested even Sessho-maru with all his power had not slain Naraku and he was a youkai lord.
"Just like those Thunder Brother were too strong for you to kill alone," Miroku countered making his point.
"That's different," Shippo pouted those two were nothing like Naraku.
"How?" Miroku asked gently sometimes he was just too hard on himself, " Shippo you can't judge yourself against us that's not fair to you when I was your age I just got my air void."
"Really!" Shippo asked looking up surprised but interested he had not known his friend had suffered so long with his curse.
Miroku nodded it was not something he enjoyed speaking of but if it helped Shippo he would. "Yes, I watch my father being sucked in to his and unless Naraku is killed I know exactly what my own death will look like. There all done." Shippo blinked down at his white paw and leg as Miroku sighed tiredly. "I hated wasps before all this but now I really hate them."
Shippo smiled, "I don't think they like you either."
Miroku smiled as he closed his eyes, "I think you're right."
Shippo smiled as he snuggled against Miroku, "I like you Miroku."
Miroku wrapped his arms around Shippo as he shiver slightly, "I like you to Shippo." He assured his young friend before sighing tiredly it had been a long day.
"You tired Miroku?" Shippo asked even tough he already knew the answer.
"mmm just a little," Miroku answered half teasing weak as he was he still had his humor.
"Go back to sleep Ok? I'll wake you up when the other's are done with Inuyasha," Shippo promised eager to help.
"Thanks Shippo," Miroku murmured patting his head gently.
Shippo smiled as he closed his eyes yawning, "Welcome."

"I just thought of something!" Kagome announced sitting back on her heals.
"Oh and what is it Kagome?" Sango asked form where she was sitting across from her.
"Ok you know how Kouga wears a breastplate?" Kagome said even though she knew she did.
"Yes. So?" Sango questioned unsure where she was going but she did have a guess.
"He should wear one to," Kagome answered as if it made perfect sense, "He's always getting fists shoved through his gut it's so X."
"X? What is that?" Sango frowned the theory had some merit but she did not know a X.
Kagome blinked unaware she had even said that out loud, "The X is a story. I'll bring the manga with me when I get back."
Sango nodded, "Manga is the storybook with pictures?"
"Yeah. -sigh- Do you think Miroku's awake or not?" Kagome asked curious about their other friend.
Sango thought for a moment, "Well it has been some time since Kilala returned. I'm sure he's resting quietly or maybe talking with Shippo?"
"I totally forgot all about Shippo," Kagome admitted frowning, "He's usually underfoot."
"He wanted to stay with Miroku," Sango reminded her glad someone was watching over him, "What is it you gave him anyway?"
Kagome nodded towards her bag, "It's something Kaede taught me to make. It's good for most youkai poisons and it works great for those wasps things but it wears him out."
"I wouldn't worry too much about that Kagome," Sango assured her aches from the battle starting to catch up with her, "We all need some rest."
Kagome nodded stretching out white clad arms, "Yeah I know. Well I'm ready to become dead to the world. What about you?"
"I want to check on the others," Sango answered Kagome had worn herself out so it was best she just relax with Inuyasha.
Kagome nodded smiling as she laid down ready for bed, "The extra blankets are over there." Sango nodded as she stood Kilala fallowed her into the other room.

"Oh look how cute?" Sango whisper walking up to them Kilala mewed softly in reply. Shippo half opened an eye as Sango knelt beside them before covering them up. "Sweet dreams Miroku." He watched as Sango gently kissed Miroku's cheek before standing and walking away.

"Is everything packed Sango?" Kagome asked while she checked on Inuyasha one last time.
"Just finishing up," Sango answered still a bit sore and stiff, "One of us should go wake the others."
"I'll do it Sango you finish up in here," Kagome volunteered standing. Sango nodded as Kagome walked into the other room.

'Aw too cute!' Kagome smiled as she walked over to the two sleeping shard hunters, "Miroku, hey wake up?" The former miko whispered nudging his shoulder Miroku opened his eyes blinking.
"Kagome?" Miroku asked sleepily.
Kagome smiled, "Good morning to you to sleepyhead," she teased, "Feeling any better?"
"Fine, how is Inuyasha?" Miroku asked now more awake then asleep she seemed calm so he assumed he had not died in the night or something to that extent.
"No worst then he was last night. We want to leave soon so," Kagome informed him looking him over he seemed alright if not he would tell her or so she hopped.
Miroku nodded, "Understood Kagome." Kagome nodded heading for the back room. "Shippo?" Shippo moaned softly as he snuggled close. "Shippo you have to wake up now." Shippo sat up stretching. "Good morning Shippo."
"Good morning Miroku, " Shippo greeted smiling, "Will we be leaving soon?"
"Yes. How's the foot?" Miroku asked looking down at the little cub in his lap.
"Not too bad thank you," Shippo answered it hurt a little but he could walk at least.
"It's not that hard to ask a question Shippo," Miroku teased. Shippo smiled joking was a good sign it also assured him Inuyasha was alright.
"Ok you two let's go! The sooner we get back the better I'll fell." Kagome called ready to get going.
Miroku nodded standing Shippo still in his arms, "Agreed." He smiled as he set Shippo on his shoulder heading out, "You stay were I can see you." Shippo nodded as Kagome mounted behind Sango and Inuyasha before holding out her hand.
"Oh Shippo you're foot?" Kagome frowned feeling guilty again for not noticing him.
Shippo smiled reassuringly at her, "It's all right Kagome Miroku took care of it for me." Kagome nodded as they took off.

First chapter done! Good or bad only the reviews will tell.
This fic deals with Shouta-con short for Shotaro Complex. In Yaoi stories this term is used for stories involving a grown man and a young boy, or two young boys. Since Miroku is 18/19, sites can't seem to agree on this, and Shippo is a little kid it fits. After all 18 is a man even in our culture. This fic is not meant to disgust people or make Miroku out as some pedophile after all he didn't sleep with that 11 year old girl now did he? I think they are cute together on the show and that's really the only thing.
Shinjitsu no Shi is the source of that info and also has a few fics of this paring which inspired me to try one.
