Her First, His Last
Chapter 1
(A/N: Hello everyone. This is PhinalPhantasy. This time I decided on doing an InuYasha fic that I hope everyone will enjoy. This will be my first attempt to do a rated-M fic so please leave honest reviews. Just like with my first Naruto story, this was a one-shot that turned into a three-shot. Only the last chapter is M-rated though. As for MysticFireBlood, she wrote Sango's part in this. Originally this was part of a forum RP between the two of us on that we decided to make into a fanfic. I just rewrote parts of it to make it flow better as a story. I also added the lemon, but Sango's parts of the conversations are all MysticFireBlood's original work so I give her proper credit for that.)
(Disclaimer: We don't own InuYasha…Rumiko Takahashi does. She gets all the props)
InuYasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Kirara, and Shippo had just finished another hard day's worth of travel and had another harsh battle with Kagura. They were slowly approaching a village that looked like a very tempting place to attempt to find lodging. As they approached the village a group of villagers approached them.
"Ah it's Miroku-sama!" someone shouted and waved cheerfully.
"So you've been here before, Miroku?" InuYasha asked.
"Hmm…." The monk thought it over for a moment and remembered and pounded his right palm with his left fist, "Ah yes I remember now! I took care of some bat demons here once before I met you guys. It was one of my earlier adventures," he replied.
"You mean there were times you went to a village claiming to exorcise demons and it was true?" Kagome asked astonished.
"Why of course. What kind of a monk do you take me for?" Miroku replied in a mock-hurt voice.
"The lecherous kind…" Sango said pointing as several of the village's young women approached the group smiling brightly.
"It is Miroku-sama!" one of the elders said from a distance, "Now he can make good on his earlier promise to our village."
"What promise?" Shippo asked out of curiosity.
"We'll have his children for him!" The girls all said with enthusiasm and at once, then they all approached the monk and dragged him aside so they could all talk with him at once, hoping he'd pick one of them.
"What?" Sango was astonished. She turned to the elder, "You let him get away with that behavior?"
"It was my idea," the elder replied, "Miroku-sama is the hero of this village and a powerful and wise monk. Any of our women would be honored to bear him a child, but of course we told him he could pick only one. How about the rest of your group? If you're friends of Miroku-sama, we can provide you lodging for the evening." When he looked at Sango he could see a fury underneath her face. The elder turned to InuYasha, "Umm…is she always like that?"
"When it comes to Miroku, yeah this is pretty much how things go," the hanyo replied, "This isn't the first village we've visited where he tried to flirt with the ladies. I've just learned to ignore him when he's like this. It really gets on my friends' nerves though, especially Sango-chan."
"What was that, InuYasha?!" Sango gave him a death glare.
InuYasha quickly ducked and hid behind Kagome, "Nothing," he said in a tiny voice.
"Ahhhhh...ok, I see. Miroku-sama is basically flirting with other women and Sango-chan is jealous of that, wanting some attention herself," the elder replied.
InuYasha laughed at his observation, "Oh, trust me, if Sango-chan 'wanted attention,' Miroku's given her plenty of opportunities. He's given her the same lines he's delivering to your women and all he ever got from her was a slap in the face."
"DO YOU TWO WANT TO DIE?" Sango had an aura of fire behind her as she glared at InuYasha and the elder. Kagome moved away and also joined in the staring down of her friend.
"Honestly InuYasha. You are so insensitive! SIT!"
"OUCH!" InuYasha screamed as he made yet another crater shaped like him in the ground. Kagome and Sango were moving towards Miroku.
"Her anger is probably an act to hide her true feelings. She probably can't wait till she has a chance to show her feelings to him during sunset and all that... ah, love," the elder said to InuYasha, helping him to his feet.
"Yeah, she tried that too, and he always ends up groping her butt and getting wailed on in some way. He'll never learn," InuYasha grunted then pointing to where Miroku was laughing and flirting away at the ladies and his two other friends were moving closer.
"I'm just glad I'm not old enough to get involved," Shippo said sweating as they were about to see a slaughter of a different kind.
"You know, maybe I should call off this whole 'giving away' of one of our village girls. I never once considered that Miroku-sama would find someone to love or someone that will love him in return," the elder replied, "Don't worry I'll settle this!"
"Oh boy please don't," InuYasha groaned, but the elder began to shout at the monk.
"Miroku-sama! I thought you were a man of honor, why do you flirt with other girls when your lover is there? That is one thing that seriously displeases me, men who don't care for the women they love...you should be glad that she cares for you!" InuYasha, Shippo, Kagome, and Sango all looked astonished at this man, a stranger, trying to get involved with their group's personal affairs.
Kagome couldn't believe what was said and who said it, but…he had a point, "He is right, Miroku, you shouldn't go around doing things like that. Sango-chan may never say it, but you do hurt her feelings, you know. You know, if I had the ability to, I would put some beads around your neck and sit you a few times. It just might break you of your habit of being a pervert!" She looked to Sango with sympathy before looking at Miroku, waiting for his reply.
The monk looked taken aback, "Me...and Sango...lovers? You've got
the wrong idea. We've never done anything like that. Why would
I do that to her? Especially since I know she doesn't want me
either."
The sound of Miroku's words and what they meant to
Sango began to dig into her like a knife. Although she tried to hide
it, the pain on her face could still be seen by Kagome. She tried to
sound composed as she replied, "That's right, Monk...who would
do anything with me? I, for one, have absolutely NO
interest in a lecher like you! You can sleep with every damn woman in
the village for all I care!" She walked away from the group,
trying to fight back her tears and when she thought she was far away
enough, she began to run towards the nearby forest and let the tears
flow freely.
Kagome turned to Miroku and looked at him with fury, "Good job, Miroku-baka!"
What Kagome? The other village girls seem interested in me and I know Sango isn't. I really don't see the problem," Miroku replied.
Kagome sighed in frustration then ran after her friend, "Sango-chan, wait up!" she yelled after the girl. Kirara was in her kitten-like form and also ran after her mistress. After searching for ten minutes, Kagome and Kirara finally found her. Sango was leaning on a tree still crying. "Sango-chan, are you alright?" Kagome asked, approaching her slowly and putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Kagome-chan, please leave me alone. I don't want anyone to see me right now, not like this," she sobbed. Kirara mewed and approached her and crawled onto her shoulder and nuzzled her cheek, trying to cheer her up.
"Well, Sango-chan, it's just you, me, and Kirara. The guys aren't here so please, let's talk," Kagome pleaded. She hated seeing Sango like this. She always seemed to be a strong woman who has gone through hell in her life and still manages to keep on going. Kagome truly admired her and felt as though they were sisters, "I know Miroku's been an idiot, flirting with every woman he's ever encountered, but usually you just slap him or give him an angry stare and that's it. There's got to be something else he did to make you break down like this. Did he do something worse to you? Or are you finally tired of him?"
"Didn't you hear his words, Kagome-chan?" Sango looked at her tears still flowing and looking heartbroken and angry, "He said 'why would I do that to her?' He's willing to flirt and seduce every random attractive woman we come across yet he doesn't pay me the same attention."
"I'm sure he has his reasons," Kagome replied softly, trying to hold in her own anger at Miroku so she could try to help sort this out.
"Yes he does. He just doesn't see me as a woman," Sango concluded.
"What?!" Kagome was shocked. She honestly didn't see this coming.
"Who could blame him? He could have any beautiful and sexy woman he wanted really. He has a whole village full of them right here just waiting for him to…to deflower them. It sickens me! I guess this is the price I pay for being a demon slayer, fighting along side everyone, taking the same risks as everyone else without flinching. I've even had to rescue him on several occasions. I guess people think a woman shouldn't be as strong as I am. I'm too…independent for any man to want me, even one who isn't that picky like Miroku-sama. I guess I should get used to the idea of being 'one of the guys,'" she started to cry again, "I should be stronger than this, why am I so weak? Why do I want him to notice me so much?"
Kagome moved in and wrapped Sango in a hug, "You are not weak, Sango-chan. You are the strongest woman that I know," she told her, "You…are just in love. Even the strongest of us can get frustrated and heartbroken like this. I think your problem is that with all your strength, you haven't been able to truly reveal your feelings to him. But I think you're overreacting just a little bit. If he didn't think you were a woman, would he grope you so much," she smiled trying to cheer her up.
"I…guess not. It's just every time we have a moment where I can finally talk to him seriously, he has to ruin it by doing something perverted like that," Sango replied.
"Well this time, don't let it bother you. Just come out and tell him everything," Kagome said, "Let him decide then what he thinks of you."
"O…okay Kagome-chan. Just let me compose myself for a minute before I head back," Sango replied.
"Okay, I'll help fix you up too," Kagome replied. After another few minutes the ladies were ready to head back to their friends. They both rode on Kirara's back to get back quickly. They were both smiling as they approached the others, Sango and Kagome got off of Kirara and moved towards Miroku.
"Hi everyone," InuYasha started, "We've got a place to stay tonight thanks to that monk of ours," he smiled, pointing towards a nice looking house with a bath in the back.
"Oh Miroku can I talk to you for a minute?" Sango asked not paying attention at first to the monk because of what InuYasha said, but then the sight she saw drove the smile off of her face. Miroku was still flirting with one of the village girls, this one more than the others.
"I think I like you," he said to her, "Will you bear me my child?"
Sango approached Miroku and gave him her strongest death glare.
Miroku quickly ran behind Kagome's back and ducked. Looking over at
Kagome he asked, "Is it just me, or is Sango-chan more angry
than normal right now?" Sango walked over to Miroku slowly
and Miroku sweat dropped, "S...Sango? Why are you so upset? I
haven't done anything I haven't done before..."
She knocked him
on the head real hard with her Hiraikotsu, "I...I despise
you Miroku! I'm not talking to you again…ever!" Then she
walked off towards their accommodations, "Kagome-chan, I'll be
heading off to bed now," she informed her best friend.
Miroku,
after rubbing his head, looked completely devastated at Sango's
words, "Kagome-chan, what did I do wrong?.. I mean…more than
normal. I'm really confused. Can you talk to her for me? She doesn't
want to talk to me obviously."
"You messed up, you fix it. I am not going to, not this time!" Kagome shouted, Come on InuYasha, Shippo, let's go to bed!" She huffed and practically dragged the others inside.
Once they were inside, InuYasha noticed that Kagome was setting up some of the bedrolls, and that Sango was sitting quietly in a corner, "So Kagome which room do you and Sango want?" he asked.
"This one. If Miroku wants to sleep inside, he'll have to get past us! We'll let Sango have the other room to herself. I think she needs it…"
"Us? Are you sure you want me in the same room as you girls? I'm not Miroku but people could talk..." InuYasha said concerned.
"InuYasha, let them talk. It really shouldn't bother you, since we won't really be doing anything wrong," she said with a smile, "And Shippo will be here to protect my honor," she joked.
"Thank you Kagome, I'm remembering the few times we fell asleep together and they were nice. I wouldn't mind doing that again more often," InuYasha smiled at her.
She smiled back, "Well, it is getting colder at night concerting that fall is starting, and unlike my time where we have electric blankets and heaters to keep us warm, here in this era you have find other ways of staying warm, and well, body heat is always a good way."
"Well then, feel free to let me hold you while you sleep, Kagome," InuYasha replied.
"Of course, now I'm going to change into my pajamas for tonight." She led Sango into the next room where they could be in private.
"I'm so sorry Sango-chan. Miroku is such an idiot!" she shouted, "Don't worry, I won't let him get in here and bug you."
"Thank you, Kagome-chan," Sango replied softly, "I think I just need to sleep on this. We can talk tomorrow if you want…InuYasha is waiting for you after all and I wouldn't keep you from him."
"Sango-chan, he can wait. Sure I like him and all, but I'm more worried about you right now!"
"Please, I'll be fine if I can get some sleep. We can talk in the morning if you want."
"Well if you're sure…" Kagome said. She finished changing and when she came back she said, "I am ready whenever you are, InuYasha,"
"Wow Kagome, I don't think I've ever seen you like this," he said taking in the image of her in her pajamas, "You look nice," he smiled at her, leaning agains the wall.
"Thank you, InuYasha," Kagome blushed and she wrapped herself in a bedroll before letting InuYasha wrap his arms around her. He held her close and smelled hair, "Goodnight Kagome, you know...you smell nice," he said as he fell asleep.
"Goodnight InuYasha," she yawned, "Come here Shippo," she said. The little fox moved to sleep in Kagome's lap and all three began to relax then sleep in peace.
InuYasha was enjoying laying down with Kagome in his arms. It was very nice and comforting. He honestly never felt anything like this, even with Kikyo. After about half an hour though, his arm felt numb. He hated to wake her but he needed to move. He gently shook Kagome for a bit and then kissed her softly on the cheek to get her to move, "Kagome, could you move a bit, you're sleeping on my arm."
"Hm, okay..." and she rolled over so he could move and then she shot up, "Did you just kiss me?" her face was red and she looked shocked.
"Y...yes I did Kagome. Is there something wrong? I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that," InuYasha replied, waiting for her to shout her "SIT" command.
She blushed, "I kind of liked it," and she kissed his cheek, "Maybe we should try…becoming closer."
"I'd like that," InuYasha replied, "But maybe we can talk about that later, I don't want to make Sango-chan and Miroku feel worse…"
"I see. Well there's only one way for us to get close then. Get those two talking to each other again," Kagome smiled back.
"Alright. I'm not normally good at this mushy stuff but I'll talk to him. You just get yourself back to sleep," InuYasha said giving Kagome another quick kiss.
Miroku, for once, felt like it would actually be safer to sleep outside, but the cold was starting to get to him, "Maybe Sango just needs to sleep on whatever's bothering her," he thought as he shivered in his bedroll
"Hey Miroku are you still brooding over what Sango said to you?"
"Huh? InuYasha? I'm sorry did I wake you up?"
"No, but I think you need to resolve this now before things between you two get worse."
"She's been mad at me before, but she never said she despised me before in all the time we've known her. I might have taken my flirting too far this time, but the girl was honestly interested in me," Miroku replied.
"Who cares what some random girl thinks of you," InuYasha replied, "You can be such a fool sometimes, Miroku. Do you know how much Sango cares about you? If you can't return her feelings then at least be honest with her about why you can't and why you are the way you are!"
"You mean…tell her…everything?" Miroku said a little worried.
"You won't be able to make amends with her without talking to
her first, Miroku," InuYasha said, "And I'd hate for me or
Kagome to have to play middleman between you two again so you
better settle things soon between you guys if you know what's good
for you!" InuYasha replied knocking Miroku on the head
"OWW…I
guess you're right, InuYasha," Miroku replied, "though I'd
hate to have to wake her up..."
"Just do it monk or
I'll wake her up for you!"
"OK OK I'm going," he
said. He walked into the house and tried to sneak past Kagome and
Shippo without waking them up, but he didn't notice Kagome's eye
was half open.
"You better make this work or I'm gonna kill you!" Kagome thought…
(A/N: Well how do you like how this started? Will Miroku be able to tell Sango how he truly feels? And will she ever forgive his lecherous behavior?)
