HI! This is kinda...shounen ai. Yaoi. Meaning same sex relationships. If you don't like it, don't read. It's as simple as that.

Flames will be laughed at, constructive criticism will be accepted, and praise will be appreciated. And this is my first InuYasha fanfiction, so if any character is out of character, sorry. I think I have them pretty much on par. I hope. ~_^

Anyway, this is Kouga/Miroku, I haven't seen one like this, so I hope it's unique! Enjoy, and please review!

~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Miroku's POV.

The sky is so beautiful. Its stars...countless, but each one makes the sky complete, like little crystals. I stare at it, alone as usual, while InuYasha and Kagome squabble over something pointless. I sigh and curse under my breath. They frustrate me, especially when I hear the shout of "OSUWARI!", a loud bang, and a muffled shout of, "What did you do that for, wench?!" If InuYasha wasn't such a dumb person, then they wouldn't argue, Kagome wouldn't sit him, and late nights would be far more peaceful. I could stare at the stars, mutter a hello at my damned father, and wonder what life would be like if that miko and the legendary demon had never fought, or even existed. If the Shikon Jewel hadn't been created. Maybe we could avoid all this fuss over a small gem.

Then again, I wouldn't have this...this fucking Air Rip, that controls my life like you wouldn't believe. Naraku wouldn't have been born, Onigumo would be good, InuYasha and Kikyo would be together, Sango's father and brother would be alive, and all would be well. But Kagome wouldn't exist, and we wouldn't have destroyed all those evil demons. I wouldn't have met Sango, and I wouldn't be considering asking her to wed me right now. So it really is a mixed feeling situation.

InuYasha stomps off angrily in my direction. He takes a seat next to me and lets out a loud "HMPH!" He acts so much like a woman sometimes. "Fight with Kagome?" I say slyly, a smirk arising on my face. "Sod off, monk," he snaps, not looking at me. "I was here in the first place, so I suggest ~you~ sod off. Unless you want me to unleash the Kazaana," I reply, playfully tugging at my rosary. He's so fun to torture. He jumps back, but regains his poise and says, "Heh, as though your little wind can hurt me. It won't affect me at all, though it'll kill you in a few years. Feh." He then spits on the ground. I bite my lip and turn away. The comment hurt. But I turn back to him and smile a weak smile, make him feel guilty. Yeah, twist his emotions. I'm good at that. He bites his own lips and mutters, "Sorry," before leaving, without another word or second thought. I bet he feels guilty now. I sigh happily, and feel content with life at the moment.

I decide to make my way back to the village. The stars are losing their sparkle, and Father has left. In fact, he never even bother to appear. Such a nice man! Faggot, more like. As I walk, I see something move, very swiftly, out of the corner of my eye. Uh oh. Here comes trouble! Better warn the others!

I quicken my pace, from a slow walk to a paced jog, huffing and puffing all the while. I wonder if he - she - whatever ~it~ was - has gotten to them already. As I meet the forest opening, ready to fight, to give up anything for them, I am met with one of the biggest surprises in my life. One that shouldn't even be surprising.

It's Kouga.

And I hate saying this, but he's beautiful.

Absolutely fucking beautiful.

Despite all the cuts, scrapes, bruises, and just plain merciless wounds he has received so far (from that idiot of a hound Inu), he is gorgeous. In a strange way, of course, meaning that he's never looked this way to me before. His blue eyes, glowing; his hair, long, and up, as usual; but something's different. Kagome's not involved in this brawl, nor do I think it's over her. In fact, she, Sango, Kagome and Shippo are nowhere to be found. Back to the fight, and InuYasha's in the lead, striking the air with the Tetsusaiga. Kouga and I are thrown back by the force. And things are not pretty.

Kouga, of course, is perfectly alright, but I'm not sure if I am. He leaps to his feet, and rushes to Inu with a brandished fist. With one swing, Inu is out cold. He cracks his knuckles and says, "Well, well, well, I guess I can take Kagome now, eh puppy?"

Guess I was wrong about it not being over Kagome.

/BAKA!/ I think. /Kagome ran away, along with Sango and Shippo!/

He is a rather good-looking baka, though.

Kouga now realizes his mistake, and flushes in an embarrassed manner. I let out a weak chuckle, and he spins around, looking me straight in the eyes. Oh, why must the butterflies be out?! It's night time, and my stomach can't take this sort of thing. But then again, when can it ever take it...?

"You...you saved my life, you know that, human? Though you are a pitiful creature, you saved my life." he says, shocked that such a second- class being could save his life. That voice, so manly and domineering, it's rather frightening. I, trying to to stammer, reply, "Yeah, I guess so."

Kouga rushes toward me, takes me under his arm and says, "Are you willing to come with me...?"

Why not?
