A/N: Hey everyone! This seemed like a cool idea so I thought I'd try it out! Tell me what you think!
Chapter 1: Who the Hell Do You Think You are You?!
"Villagers, heed my words! I beg you to leave this area at once!"
Kagome watched the monk speed off with Inuyasha close at his heels. 'Now where is he going?'
Holding Shippou close, she ran after them. Inuyasha was snarling like a mad dog (no pun intended) and getting ready to pounce when the monk suddenly stopped. He turned around and smiled sinisterly.
'What the-'
Kagome's thoughts were cut short when the monk lifted the prayer beads of his right hand and held it out in front of him.
"KAZAANA!"
An intense wind was unleashed. Kagome could feel herself being tugged toward the monk from her hiding spot behind a tree. Inuyasha had stuck the Tessaiga in the ground in order to keep himself from blowing away, but he was still slowly being dragged towards to void.
"I beg of you to stop this now!" the monk shouted over the wind. "Once you get sucked into the air void, you will never come out alive!"
"I'll never get sucked in if I cut your freakin hand off first!"
Inuyasha let himself be pulled toward the monk's hand, Tessaiga ready to swing.
'Oh God!' Kagome thought. 'Think fast, think fast, think fast, think-- I know! The monk warned the villagers to get away before he released that wind! He doesn't want humans to get hurt!'
With her decision made, she set Shippou on the ground and jumped out from behind the tree, letting herself be pulled up into the air and towards the monk.
'Please let this work!'
~*~*~*~*~*~
'SHIT!' Inuyasha thought! 'What the fuck is she doing?!'
"KAGOME!"
He reached up to grab her and felt nothing but air. He watched everything as if it were in slow motion. Kagome flying above his head, Kagome nearing the monk's right hand, Kagome CRASHING INTO the monk, Kagome landing on top of the monk about ten feet away in a position that he REALLY did not like to see her in (at least not with the monk).
Inuyasha gritted his teeth and growled to himself, 'WHAT. THE. HELL. WAS. SHE. THINKING?!'
Actually, that's a very good question. He figured it would be best if he found out the answer.
He stalked over to Kagome who had just started seeing straight again and growled, "WHAT. THE. HELL. WERE. YOU. THINKING?!"
~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome frowned at loud noise and the fact that there were two Inuyasha's and four Shippous in front of her. "Inuyasha, calm down! I wouldn't have done that if I had any doubts! The monk didn't want any humans hurt! I knew he would close the wind tunnel if I was in danger. Maybe we should give him a chance! He can't be all that ba--"
SOMETHING was touching her rear end; something warm and something suspiciously hand-shaped.
Oh. My. God.
Kagome shrieked.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Well this certainly was no fun. Miroku twitched as he lay on the ground with the girl on top of her. And to believe he thought this was going to be a good day. It all started last night. . .
Miroku had been bathing in a local hot spring. 'Oh this was a very good day.'
Indeed it had been a rather productive day. His stolen goods had earned him a lot of money, he found another shard of the Shikon Jewel, and he managed to get his own private hot spring.
'The only way this could get any better was if--'
"This hot spring is great!"
Miroku jumped, startled. He peeked over the boulder he had been leaning on.
'Oh great merciful Buddha, pinch me I must be dreaming!'
There was a girl, a naked girl, a BEAUTIFUL naked girl just a few feet away. AND she had a shard of the Shikon Jewel.
She seemed to be saying something, but Miroku wasn't exactly listening. He was too busy contemplating his good fortune.
'I could always just grab her and run, but being the polite gentlemen I am, I think I'll just stay here. I'll let her relax. I'll just watch her and make sure nothing bad happens to--'
She still up suddenly and let out a shriek.
Miroku snapped back to earth and glared his servant Tanuki (the raccoon youkai that hangs out with Miroku) who had startled Kagome.
At the sound of the girl's shriek, a man came bursting through some nearby bushes.
Miroku gasped. 'That's no man! He's a hanyou!' He prepared to use his Kazaana to protect the girl, but when she caught sight of him she froze for a minute before bashing him on the head repeatedly and yelling 'sit' multiple times.
Miroku sighed as the girl left he hot spring with the hanyou and a kitsune following behind.
'I never knew taking a bath could be so. . . stressful.'
~*~*~*~*~*~
Miroku quickly picked up the trail of the three travelers with the Shikon Shards and came up with a plan to get them. He gazed down at them from a higher cliff. The demon and the girl seemed to be arguing. The girl was wheeling an odd contraption with her and the kitsune was sitting in a basket that was attached.
It was decided that Tanuki would slide down the cliff in a more threatening looking form (face it folks, raccoons are not that scary) while he made of with the shards (and the girl).
The plan was going perfectly a first. The demon's fell off the cliff, he grabbed the girl, and began pedaling away on that contraption of hers. She wiggled while sitting on his lap.
"Let me go you big jerk!"
Miroku gazed down at her. He liked this girl. He especially liked this girl's clothing. If he leaned forward just a little bit he could see right down--
"Inuyasha!"
Miroku was brought back to earth from his perverted daydreams when the girl cried out for the hanyou. He couldn't understand it. 'How can she be traveling with a half-demon? Isn't she afraid of him?'
What Miroku saw then wasn't fear of the hanyou, but fear FOR the hanyou, fear of him getting hurt. He felt an unwanted pain in his heart that seemed an awful lot like jealousy. . .
"Let me go!" she shouted again.
Miroku attempted to placate her, "Calm down miss! You have nothing to fear from me, I am a man of Buddha. I have come to steal your group's jewel shards, though I must say you are an added bonus."
Kagome saw red. "WHAT AM I A CONSOLATION PRIZE?!"
She squirmed again and shouted, "Inuyasha!"
Miroku sighed. If she kept slowing him down, he wasn't going to be able to get away. He released her and she immediately ran towards the demon, Inuyasha. Miroku sighed wearily and decided to wait in the next village until Tanuki caught up with him. His lap felt empty without the presence of the girl. . . and so did his heart.
He didn't know why a girl he didn't even know made him feel this way. He didn't even know her name and we already head over heels for her?! Miroku smiled grimly. He had never been tied down by any girl and he wasn't going to start now!
Poor Miroku had no idea that he'd be pinned to the ground by this girl in about twenty minutes.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha was livid. First Kagome tries to commit suicide and now this freakin monk had the nerve to touch her! There was no way in HELL he was going to let this slide.
Kagome shrieked and scrambled away from the monk, her cheeks burning red with embarrassment. Without thinking, Inuyasha wrapped his arm around her protectively and held the Tessaiga in front of him threateningly.
"Okay I was wrong," Kagome squeaked. "Kill him!"
Shippou watched in bemusement from the sidelines.
The monk sat up calmly, now fully conscious. "Allow me to explain myself. My name is Miroku. I am a monk on a quest to collect the sacred jewel shards in order to seek revenge against the one who cursed me with this hole in my right-hand. It was caused by a shape-shifting demon named Naraku. It is said that he was last seen in the form of a hanyou and that he killed a priestess in order to obtain the jewel."
Inuyasha looked up startled and lifted Miroku off the ground. "What do you mean, he killed a priestess?!" Miroku pried Inuyasha's fingers of his robes. "I meant exactly what I said."
However, Inuyasha was no longer paying attention. His fist was clenched so hard it was bleeding and he was glaring holes in the ground. 'So that's what happened between Kikyou and I. Naraku tricked us! That bastard. . . I'll hunt him down and kill him, if it's the last thing I do!"
~*~*~*~*~*~
'Wonder what's wrong with dog-breath. . .'
Shippou jumped on Inuyasha's shoulders. He waved a paw in front of the hanyou's face.
No reaction.
He pulled his hair and ears.
Not even a twitch.
Shippou pouted. He dropped to the floor and bit his ankle.
The stupid dog didn't even wince, and had bitten down pretty hard too!
Shippou sighed. 'I give up. . .'
~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome was shocked after hearing Miroku's story, though it wasn't for the same reason Inuyasha was. "Miroku, you mean that if you don't defeat Naraku, you'll eventually get sucked into you Kazaana?"
Miroku nodded. "I am willing to except my fate, is that is what it is destined to be, but in the mean time I am going to do everything in my power to stop Naraku."
Kagome was desperate for a way to help. Something about Miroku just attracted her. "Miroku, why don't you travel with us to collect the jewel shards?" she blurted out.
'Ok Kagome, WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?!'
Even Inuyasha looked up. "Are you crazy wench?!"
Miroku ignored Inuyasha's words. "I usually work alone, but I guess collecting these shards would be more enjoyable if I were to do so in the presence of a beautiful woman. Yes, I think I'll take your offer Kagome- sama."
"HEY JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" Inuyasha sputtered, still in shock that Kagome was allowing this, let alone SUGGESTING it.
Kagome blushed. "We'll do anything to help you destroy Naraku and fix your hand Miroku."
For a moment, Miroku just stared at her. "You're really concerned about my dilemma, aren't you Kagome?" he said slowly. He grasped her hands, feeling a tingle as he did so.
"I guess," said Kagome hesitantly.
"Then will you bear me a child to carry out my mission if I am to fail?"
Kagome stared.
Miroku wrapped and arm around her waist and tilted her chin up with his other hand while moving his lips closer to hers.
Shippou stuck his fingers in his ears in preparation for the coming outburst.
Inuyasha exploded.
"NO WAY IN HELL!" Kagome felt herself being wrenched out of Miroku's grasp and pressed tightly against Inuyasha's chest.
"Don't lay a finger on her you stupid lecher!"
Miroku sighed. 'I guest that's a no,' he thought.
~*~*~*~*~*~
After some more arguing and a couple of sits, the group of four continued on their quest for the jewel shards, and even though Inuyasha didn't want to admit it, Miroku was a threat to his 'relationship' with Kagome.
A/N: Okay first chapter done! Most of this stuff comes from the episode where Kagome, Inuyasha, and Shippou meet Miroku, but I changed a couple of things. I don't know if I'm going to continue this or who Kagome will end up with at the end so let me know what you think! Thanks for reading! ^_^
