Welcome to yet another Inuyasha fanfic destined to be posted on FFN and Shinjitsu no Shi. Not that FFN isn't enough for me but there are plenty of open-minded people that go to Shinjitsu no Shi looking for this kind of fic. Not to mention the many closed minded people who sadly come here and live to rip apart people like me. If you're into Inuyasha Yaoi and/or Yuri then go to Shinjitsu no Shi it kicks ass.

WARNINGS: Yaoi, OOC, Normal amount of violence and such you see on average in the show. Not for fans of Het couples.

Aishi Say "..."

Inuyasha sighed softly to himself as he looked down from his perch up in a tree. The rest of the gumi was talking to Kagome as she rolled her bike towards the well. It had gotten trashed in the last battle so she was taking it home to be fixed. For once she could leave not worrying about anyone the worst that had happened was Sango's slightly sprained wrist. Kagome smiled. "Don't worry Shippo I'll be home in a day or so I promise."

"Are you sure Kagome? You and Inuyasha didn't have a fight did you?"

"No Shippo. I need to get my poor bike fixed up and resupply that should no more then two days. So I'll be back by Saturday ok?"

"Ok....um what's Saturday?"

"That's it I'm bringing a calendar with me this time. It's what the day two days from now is called."

"Oh."

"Kagome we will miss you."

"Thank you Sango. Miroku?"

"Yes Kagome?"

"Keep Inuyasha out of trouble tonight ok?"

"Of course."

Kagome turned to face the tree. "I'm leaving now Inuyasha!" She called.

Inuyasha snorted crossing his arms. "So getting going already no one's stopping ya!" He called back.

"Why you...SIT BOY!" Inuyasha hit the ground as Kagome turned on her heel walking away.

"Useful trick." Sango commented eyeing Inuyasha as he stood.

"Kagome thinks so." Miroku commented hiding a grin.

"Can we get you one to?" Sango asked sweetly turning to look at the monk.

Miroku coughed. "One set of bespelled beads is enough thank you." He retorted fingering his beaded wrist absently.

"I bet you two wouldn't think it was so funny if you were the ones nose diving every five minutes." Inuyasha muttered.

Miroku nodded his head slightly in agreement. "This is true but surly a great youkai such as yourself Inuyasha can not be hurt by so weak a hit?"

"Stop the flattery monk or I may just suspect you're up to something." Inuyasha sneered.

Miroku laughed. "You know me all too well Inuyasha." Inuyasha snorted at him.

"Ok that's it both of you stop picking on each other and move." Sango order. She sighed at the two blinking men. "Back to the village with the both of you. There's plenty of work to be done there." Inuyasha and Miroku shared a look before turning and walking as commanded. ~Who needs a spell when you have a great do-it-or-pay look?~ She smiled as she fallowed Shippo and Kilala after them.

##################################################

Inuyasha watched Kilala as she pulled a wagon of debris past him Shippo on her back. Sango was helping the best she could with one good arm making sure the workers got enough water. He looked for Miroku expecting him to be lazing about only to blink when he saw him. The monk was working beside some of the larger men as they lifted a new wall which surprised him since Miroku usually did not do hard labor unless it evolved burying the dead. Miroku nodded at him as he walked up. "You there start nailing it in place!"

"At once."

"Well look who's actually getting his hands dirty?" Inuyasha jeered as Miroku leaned against the wall tiredly.

"I don't see you doing anything?" Miroku replied.

"Yeah well no one asked. Why you helping them? What are they offering you?"

"Nothing Inuyasha. We do live in this village at times the lest we can do is help rebuild it when some youkai tears it apart because of us."

"You actually sounded like a monk there for a second Miroku."

"I do have my moments don't I?" He smiled resting his head against the hard wood. "If I asked would you help?"

"Depends? What do you want?"

"You see that house there?" Miroku asked pointing with his arm.

"Yeah so?"

"Could you knock it down?"

"Wait, wait you're asking me to destroy someone's house? Ok why?"

"It is old and needs to be replaced like this wall."

"No one's gonna to yell at me later will they?"

Miroku shook his head. "Lady Kaede herself asked me to make sure it came down and naturally I thought of you."

"Yeah sure might as well have some fun before I go all human tonight." He glanced at Miroku who had his eyes closed. "Do you think anything will attack tonight?"

Miroku groaned. "Two nights in a row would be so tiring." He muttered placing a hand over his face. "I don't even want to think about it."

"You lazy monk you sound like a little work will kill you?"

"We are not all gifted with youkai blood Inuyasha and you're the who hasn't done a thing all day."

"Don't you start with me monk I mean it!"

"Blah, blah now were is my staff?" Miroku asked looking around.

"Don't you even think about hitting me in the head I swear I'll break both your arms!"

"Then what good would I be to you? You know you only let me stay because I come in handy."

Inuyasha gaped at him. "I...no. I...oh never mind."

"Can you two bicker some other time? It's distracting?"

"Terribly sorry." Miroku apologized rubbing the back of his head.

"You are not and you know it." Inuyasha muttered.

"We'll be going now." Miroku grabbed Inuyasha's closest ear and pulled him after him.

"Should we tell him he forgot his staff?"

"I'll take it to him?" One of the girls volunteered running up.

"Sure here."

##################################################

Inuyasha growled pulling away. "You are way too violent to be a Buddhist."

"Well you never listen."

"You never have anything of value to say."

"I didn't mean me baka you never listen to anybody."

"And why should I? You're all just a bunch of humans trying to control me."

"That's just Kagome " Miroku teased.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Inuyasha roared grabbing Miroku with one hand raising the other.

"If ye two are busy I can come back later."

"What do you want now hag?"

"Nothing from ye oh rude one I have need of the monk."

"I'm not done with him yet."

"He is of no use to me dead ye can have him when I am finished with him."

"Fine." Inuyasha muttered releasing Miroku. "Just leave me alone. Damn holy people."

"I heard that. Ye think one as old as ye could learn some manners."

"Yeah, yeah." Inuyasha muttered walking off.

"New moons always make him so touchy. What was he mad at ye for now?"

"Now? You make it sound like he's always mad at me."

"That I did. Well out with it boy?"

"He thinks we're trying to control him."

"I can see were he may get that idea. The beads were meant to keep him from killing Kagome but she uses them whenever he upsets her, which is often. I have considered removing them but after hearing about his transformations I thinks it's best they stay. Now come with me boy there's work to be done."

##################################################

Inuyasha growled as he slashed the house apart. ~Damn it why do I always get so emotional before a new moon?~ He kicked down the door. ~I almost slashed Miroku back there. I'm not safe to be around right now. I'm staying away from all of them till I change... as a human I can't hurt them.~ He looked down at his claws before looking away and slashing over and over.

##################################################

"I'm starting to worry about Inuyasha Miroku."

"He's always touchy before the new moon and being frustrated by Naraku isn't helping any. Oh here it is."

"What?" Sango asked confused.

"My staff I was looking for this."

"Are you sure it's not something else bothering him? You and Shippo have been with him longer then I have."

"Yes I'm sure. He dose not handle stress well."

Sango nodded. "True enough."

"Female intuition telling you something?"

"Not really. I'm going to do a little training with Kilala before nightfall. Try and stay out of trouble will you?"

"I always try Lady Sango I just do not always succeed."

Sango laughed. "True enough. Good bye and behave."

Miroku smiled. "As you wish." He called before walking out as well.

##################################################

Inuyasha growled as his claws raked the earth. The former house was in splinters from Inuyasha's obsessive slashing. He knelt down patting thoughts racing. ~Shut up! Get out of my head!~ With a growl Inuyasha grabbed his head shaking it. "Are you alright Inuyasha?"

~Miroku?!~ Inuyasha jumped up when a gentle hand touched his shoulder. "Stay away from me!" he ordered lashing out. Miroku jumped back holding his right hand. Inuyasha blinked at the red on Miroku's pale hands horrified. "Miroku...I...I..gomen." He turned away.

Miroku looked down at the bloody lines on his fingers. "It's alright Inuyasha. You only scratched me see?"

Inuyasha looked at the three long thin lines and winced. "Still gomen." Miroku shrugged. "What are you doing here?"

"Just looking for you. I see you killed the house."

"Yeah." Inuyasha muttered thoughts drifting to Kikyou and her blood covered hand held out before him.

Miroku blinked when Inuyasha gently toke his hand examining the wounds. "It's nothing really Inuyasha."

Inuyasha nodded releasing him. "So where is the rest of the gumi?"

"Shippo is most likely watching Kilala and Sango train. Why?"

"Just wondering. Sango trusted you to stay out of trouble?"

"I was until I ran into you."

"Yeah I bet."

"No really I was Lady Kaede needed me remember? We just finished so I came looking for you."

Inuyasha blinked. "You came looking for me?! Why?"

"I was just wondering if you were hungry...are you?"

"Yeah lunch sounds good."

"Good come on my treat." Inuyasha blinked at the grinning monk but fallowed him anyway. He felt calmer now and he was very hungry. "Why so quiet Inuyasha? Don't tell me destroying that little house wore you out?"

"No...I was just thinking. Why is it when I'm quiet you all just assume something is wrong?"

Miroku shrugged. "Maybe because it usually is?"

"Yeah well I'm fine really just thinking I promise."

Miroku nodded. "Fair enough."

"Good. So what did the hag want with you?"

"Oh only a little help with a spell. Nothing to concern yourself with."

"Ah-hun. Should Sango really be training with a hurt wrist?"

Miroku sighed shrugging. "Most likely no but try telling her that. She's almost as bad as you."

"Shut up! She just happens to be driven." Inuyasha informed him arms crossed chin up.

Miroku grinned. "Yes she is. You two are much alike."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"As you should since it was meant as one."

"You know you can say some pretty sweet things sometimes."

"Can I? Imagine if I meant any of them?"

"Jerk."

Miroku bowed. "Why thank you ruffian."

Inuyasha smiled. "I am aren't I?" Miroku nodded. "I can live with that so where are we going?"

"What and ruin the surprise? Honesty Inuyasha." Inuyasha shook his head but fallowed Miroku as he started walking again.
