Alright guys, this is a new story with a strange paring that's been bugging me lately. I was working on "Legends and folklore", but I got stuck on a certain part and I really wanted to write something so TADA! Blame the yaoi fangirl in me. Please don't judge this couple, I really love it. Also the new " Seeing you again, " story is still in the works, but I'm glad that people like it so much. Also as you read this story, you'll probably notice some grammar errors, don't let it bother you so much.
Thank you enjoy and review!
"Thank you houshi-sama, now my house will protected from evil." An elderly villager said, thanking the young monk before him with all of his heart. "Thank you so much."
"Ah, it was no trouble." Miroku said, smiling kindly at the elderly villager. "Just remember to be careful at night, alright?" The old man nodded as he thank the monk once more and went his way.
Briefly watching the old man leave, Miroku began to walk back to where his friends were. "Another day, another village with nothing for me to do." He sighed, as he took a stroll down the village's market path. Normally on days like these, or at least anytime his group and him entered a village, Miroku would be spending his time asking numerous of young village woman to bare his child. Non married of course. He didn't want any trouble.
'Speaking of trouble.' Miroku grumbly thought. He didn't have to look behind him, to know that Sango was trailing behind him with a glare that had suspicion written all over it. He could just feel her staring holes into the back of his head. 'And I haven't even done anything yet.'
And still he couldn't because of her. Whether it was because he didn't want to feel uncomfortable flirting, or he knew the ladies wouldn't come near him if there was a person staring intensely at them. Miroku could only watch the beautiful women of the village pass by him, before he sighed pitifully. 'How I be so unfortunate?'
"I'm gonna pulverize ya once I get my hands on you, Shippo!" A voice that Miroku didn't have to think twice on, called out. "Come back here!" It was by hearing this Miroku realized that he was getting close to his destination.
"WAAA!" Shippo cried out, running to Miroku for safety, as soon as he saw the monk enter into the clearing. "Miroku, save me!"
"Sure but what's see-"Before Miroku could finish, Shippo quickly jumped up, and settled himself on the monk's back...Well more like, hid himself up there. From there, Miroku could feel the little fox demon shaking in fear as Inuyasha came running up to them.
"Hand him over Miroku." Inuyasha, covering the lower part of his face, demanded as he impatiently held his hand out. "There's no use in trying to protect him. He deserves every minute of this beating."
Squealing in fear, Shippo cried out, "No, don't do it Miroku!" Tightening his grip on the monk's robe to prove his desperation.
"Now, now, now. There's no need for violence." Miroku said, hoping to calm his hanyou friend and the situation, down. "What's seem to be the problem here?"
"I'll tell what the problem here is!" Inuyasha enraged, glaring straight at the fox demon. "Shippo had the damn nerve to draw on my face, while I was sleeping!"
"Only because you deserved it!"Shippo cried out once again, quickly hiding his face once again from the raging hanyou.
"Why you little- "Inuyasha began, trying to reach over the monk's shoulder to grab the fox demon, while still covering part of his face. "You made the wrong choice hiding behind Miroku, Shippo. You should've ran to Kagome for help. Hand over him already Miroku!"
"But first I'm curious Inuyasha." Miroku said, dodging his friend's attempts at trying to snatch away the fox demon from him. "Let me see your face."
"Hell no Miroku!" Inuyasha said, irritated at the monk for protecting the fox demon. "I'm obviously hiding it from you for a reason!"
"Yeah, but I'll give you Shippo if you show me the rest of your face." Miroku bargained, quickly grabbing said fox demon, before he could run away. "Come on, you know want to."
Hesitating a bit, Inuyasha averted his eyes from the monk in embarrassment. "Fine… but you better not laugh" Removing his sleeve away as he showed the monk his face.
Miroku could only stare for just a moment before, he bursted out in laugher, much to Inuyasha's dismay. "It not that funny alright! Now keep to your word, and hand him over already." Inuyasha demanded, annoyed at the monk for laughing at him.
"Alright, sorry, sorry." Miroku in between laughter, as he still held on to Shippo. It was impossible to take Inuyasha seriously with the stuff on his face. In fact he almost looked like a pig, with that pig's nose drawn over his own nose. Yet, that wasn't the part that really had Miroku laughing. What really had him was the words, "I may be a dog demon but I'm really just a pig on the inside." Written all over the lower half of the hanyou's face.
"Damn you Miroku…" Inuyasha growled, as he tried to reach over to grab the fox demon from the monk. "I showed you my face already, now hand the runt over!"
"Alright, alright…" Miroku said calming down, still holding on to Shippo. "But now I want to know what caused Shippo to do that to you in the first place." Provoking his friend even more.
"What the hell Miroku!" Inuyasha said angrily, seeing right through the monk. "You never planned to give me Shippo in the first place, did you? You just wanted to see my face!" Now Miroku wasn't going to lie, he really did want his friend's face.
"Though that maybe so, I am a man of my word Inuyasha. "Miroku said. "There's just a reason why Shippo did that to you, and I want to know. Care to explain Shippo?"He finished, turning his attention to the fox demon his hand.
"Gladly!" Shippo huffed, glaring at Inuyasha with angry teary eyes. "This box brain over here, ate the bag of chips that Kagome brought over from her time and gave me!"
"You obviously weren't gonna to finish it Shippo!" Inuyasha huffed. "I was doing you a favor."
"No you weren't, you were just being a greedy pig who wanted to eat mine after you finished yours!" Shippo started, glaring daggers at the hanyou. "Now apologize!
"How can I when I got nothin' to apologize for, you runt!" Inuyasha yelled back, still furious at the fox demon for his actions. "If any, you should apologize to me!"
Before Inuyasha and Shippo began their, 'Nah huh, you do,' war, Miroku decided to step in. "That's enough you two. It's obvious to me that you both are at fault here."
Surprisingly, Inuyasha and Shippo stopped arguing and just stared at him.
"What?" Miroku asked, confused his travel mates' staring. "Is there something wrong?"
Out of the two demons staring, Inuyasha spoke first, "No, it's that just I've been wondering... What are you doing over here anyway? I mean, shouldn't you be busy somewhere?" Shippo thinking the same, nodded.
"What are you saying?" Miroku said, now nervous by the stares that he was receiving. "Can't I spend some time with my friends every once in a while?" Inuyasha and Shippo stared once more before Shippo broke the silence with a know it all look on his face, "You were that bored, weren't you?"
At this, Miroku became annoyed and threw the little fox demon at Inuyasha. Ignoring its cries for help, as he turned his back on the little fox demon. Doing this, Miroku noticed that Sango was no longer glaring at him but was talking to some of the village women that he wanted to flirt with.
'Great, what's next?' Miroku grumbly thought, as he began to walk away undetected by the demon slayer and his friends, to a quiet little area not too far from them. Coming upon a tree, he soon settled himself under its shade as he sat down.
'Well I might as well mediate.' Miroku thought, getting into a comfortable position. 'Or maybe take a short nap.' Noticing that his eyes felt a bit heavy as vainly he tried to keep them open, before finally giving up and closing them.
It wasn't long before he went to sleep, but as he was sleeping, he felt himself become surrounded by aura. "Because you handled the problem in so calmly, I need you to take care of another problem for me." A sudden unfamiliar voice said, sounding like it was all around Miroku. However before Miroku could come to, he suddenly felt him being placed in a place that felt different. Different the one he took a nap.
The surroundings felt strange and even the air felt different. Miroku was about to dismiss the place as a dream, until he heard voices. Two voices, with one of them sounding oddly familiar.
"I can't believe it." Miroku heard the familiar one say, as if it was surprised, but it's voice was little more gentler than what Miroku was used to. "Is that really him?"
"It's possible, but it could also be a demon in disguised." The other voice said, in a deep and calm tone that made Miroku feel that there was something almost familiar about that voice as well.
Finally Miroku couldn't take anymore and open his eyes.
