Oooh, I have been hitting the Cherry Coke much
too hard this time....
That, and the papers are piling up. So, here's
the daily equation: me plus computer, multiplied by too many cans of Cherry
Coke. Add to that the importance of four midterm papers, and it equals
a fair dose of insanity. Ah, the wonderful stress relief that is humorous
fanfic writing...! ^_^
This is a companion piece to another fic I
wrote called, 'Not Quite Shining Armor.' You don't have to have
read that in order to get this. All you have to know is that Inuyasha and
Kagome had another one of their fights, and Sango, Miroku and Shippo are
nowhere to be found in the story. I still have no clue where Shippo is.
But I really did want to know where Sango and Miroku had wandered off to.
(hehe....^.~) So, this is a companion piece, showing what they were doing.
And on final note, Sango is probably the least
familiar character to me (at this point, at least) out of the usual group,
since she's the newest. So, this is a rather interesting experiment to
see if I can get her personality right. I considered doing one of these
from Miroku's pov, but...I'm not sure if I want to know everything
going on in his head. o.O;;;
Have fun, and enjoy.
Inuyasha does not belong to me.
He belongs to Kagome.
Sango owns Miroku, though she may be a bit in denial.
Miroku belongs to Sango, even though he's a bit
of a hentai.
All of them belong to Rumiko Takahashi-sama.
Not me. I'm too poor.
Ah, much better.
I don't understand those two, sometimes.
Inuyasha needs to get his mouth under control.
Shard detector, indeed. No wonder she 'sat' him. Wish I had a rosary like
that for houshi-sama sometimes. Hentai. Just when I think maybe...gah.
Baka. At least out here it's quiet. Just so long as I stay within shouting
distance, it should be all right. Out here. In the stars. Hm, they'll make
up eventually, they always do. But I don't want to be around....
Sometimes they're loud. Well, usually.
Hai, I'm glad you agree with me, Kirara.
Nani?
Yes, I know you love me Kirara. You need a
bath, ne? Nani? Don't want to? Not surprising. But all these battles with
messy youkai. This isn't exactly the life I was expecting. Wandering with
a perverted houshi, a kitsune, a hanyou, and a girl- who, so far as I can
tell, doesn't belong here at all. I'm not supposed to be wandering at all...I'm
supposed to have a home....
A nice, normal life.
Well, sort of normal....
Anyway.
Kohaku....
Damn.
I'll kill that bastard Naraku.
If I can.
Maybe.
With the others to help.
We all have our reasons.
Killing loved ones.
....
Kohaku.
Kami-sama, he didn't deserve that.
Smiles. Arigatou, Kirara. But as wonderful
as you are and all, another human would be nice, too.
Hmm....
He almost kissed me once...kinda...well, we
were almost drowned fighting with that so-called water kami. What did Kagome-chan
call it when I told her? CDR? CPR? Something like that. I don't know. So
I smacked him. 'A terrible misunderstanding', huh? What was I supposed
to do, him leaning down toward me like that?
....
Well...I guess I could have....
Baka! I would not!
He had the right idea anyway...not kissing...helping
me breathe...yeah....
Ano....
Argh. Baka! This is ridiculous. Houshi-sama,
you and your wandering hands problem really must be fixed. You know, you
never have asked me. Not that I really want to 'bear the child' of such
a perverted, unthoughtful, insensitive monk. But he asks every other random
female. I thought I looked feminine enough. I mean, I wear a kimono, I
don't think I'm totally ugly or anything. Is there something wrong with
me?
Gah.
What a thing to worry about, ne, Kirara? Hm?
Hiraikotsu?
Oh...no, that's silly...isn't it...?
Are my hands too callused? Maybe a softer
girl.... Is that the price of being a youkai exterminator? Back home, that
wouldn't be a problem. Respected then. Well, still am, I suppose, but a
bit of an outsider. Hmph, not that I really want the eechi asking me that,
but kami-sama, why not? The baka. Fine, I'm good enough to grope, but not
to have children with, huh? Bastard.
Anyway, at least it's quiet out here. We'll
be leaving again tomorrow. More shards to find, more youkai to kill. All
that fun stuff.
Kirara? Nani? Something coming? Hiraikotsu....
Ringing?
Oh. Houshi-sama's staff.
Houshi-sama.
Great. Just great.
He probably wandered off too, getting away
from Kagome and Inuyasha...when they get like that, it's best just to give
them some space. Did he follow me or something? Why would he do that?
"Konbanwa."
"Konbanwa."
"May I join you, Sango?"
Join me? Should I be suspicious of you yet?
Hey! I didn't give you an answer, houshi!
"Arigatou."
For what? Not replying? I'm keeping an eye
on you....
It is kind of nice for company that can talk
back though....
I think.
If he tries anything, I'll just rip his arm
off.
Yeah.
I think.
Baka! Sango!
Mental control should kick in right about
now....
Kirara, maybe you'd better get off my lap....
Good. Best be ready for anything. He is in arm's reach.... This is really
sad, that I have to be on alert just because he's here.
"I'll behave."
Behave? You? "Is that a promise?"
"Really."
Damn that smile of his, anyway. Almost lopsided.
Boyish...Sango!
"Did you follow me out here?"
"Not exactly. Just getting away from Kagome-sama
when she's that worked up."
"Not as if Inuyasha didn't deserve it for
that."
"True."
Silence.
He actually does seem to be behaving...at
the moment, at least. And it's not so uncomfortable, being out here alone
with him. Not while he's being decent. And it is nice out. Not too cold.
Hm...Kirara's all curled up already. It is getting late. Maybe I should
curl up too.
"You could sleep, if you want to."
Or not.
"I'm fine, houshi-sama." I do not want you
watching me sleep. You've been good so far, but I don't trust you as far
as I could throw you. Well, maybe in a fight. But...not in anything else.
I'll stay awake, thank you very much.
"Ah. Well, if you don't mind...."
What are you up to, houshi? Yawning...stretch...oh
kami-sama not this old trick. Stretch and try to grab as you go? Oooh,
if he thinks I'm just going to let him grope me again he has another thing
coming! "Houshi-sama, if you even think about-"
Huh?
"Think about what?"
My arm? My...arm? Nani? Arm? Arm. Yes,
that is definitely my arm. Not my rear end. Not breast, or anything else
he needs to keep his hands off of. Huh? Bastard! He's grinning! He planned
that!
"You know damn well...."
"No, really. What do you mean?"
Oh, don't even try that innocent look with
me, Miroku. You think I don't know you better than that yet? All it ever
is is grope, grope, grope.... Kami-sama forbid you treat me like a human.
You'd do the same to Kagome-chan if Inuyasha weren't around to beat you
into a bloody pulp if you tried. And stop grinning at me like that! Dammit,
you tricked me....
"Don't play games!"
"Oh, so you mind? If you do, I'd be happy
to remove my lecherous hand from your arm."
Oooh....dammit!
Scowl.
If I say fine, keep your hand there, you'll
just have the opportunity whenever you like. If I say no...then...then...argh!
And if I don't decide within the next few moments, he'll just take it as
a-
"Ah, then you don't mind, I see...."
I should beat him with my boomerang, I swear.
Set Kirara on him. That would be fun...hm, mental images of the houshi
running in abject terror....
"Humph."
Glare.
"Oh...well...if it really does bother you...."
What...what's with that tone? No, he's doing
it again. Just trying to...do...something.
Disappointed...?
Sango, don't fall for that again! But he does
sound a bit...sad...no, it's just him being a pervert again...I think.
Maybe...not? He's being...nice...sort of.
"No...."
Blink...wow...he's...surprised? No...yes.
That...that was surprise there...why on earth would he think...does
he think my slapping him every time means I don't care at all about him?
What does he expect? We fight together. We travel together. Of course I
care. But I'd like to see someone try grabbing his ass once just
to see him jump....
Oh, now there's an idea....
"Ack!"
I am so evil.
Actually, I'm rather enjoying that expression.
Mouth open, mouth closed...eyes wide...I probably shouldn't have done that...but...oh
kami, that is so...funny.
"Now how does it feel?"
Is he seriously blushing? No- I'm seeing things.
Talk about role reversal.
"Um...."
Yeah, 'um'. Tell me about it. Um. So, what
now? I kinda spoiled the moment. Moment? What am I thinking? Baka, what
moment? Sigh. Moment, moment, the moment he actually treated me decent,
even if it was just to trick me into blabbing...something. Why would he
try to get me to talk like that, anyway? To see what I think of him? Shouldn't
that be obvious? Perverted houshi....
And yet....
"Huh?"
This is probably the stupidest thing I've
ever done in my life. No, grabbing his butt was just the most impulsive.
Though that was pretty stupid too. I think. Maybe.
"I said I didn't mind...."
"Oh."
I think I've just totally confused him.
Sango, don't you dare blush, you've actually
gotten the upper hand for once.
Dammit, I'm blushing anyway.
Well, he can't see me...not my face, anyway...not
so long as I keep my head down...now what's he doing?
He's leaning back against me?
Kami-sama, I'm so glad he can't see my face.
I must be absolutely purple.
"Gomen."
Yeah. Gomen. Now that you know what it feels
like. "It's degrading."
Silence.
Sigh. You know, this is very strange. And...he's
actually...comfortable? Baka...I wonder what youkai senses would pick up,
like this. Scent. Just a little spicy. And his clothes are faintly water
scented. From cleaning...mmm....
Sango, snap out of it. Don't you doze off.
Don't. Just don't.
Though I said I don't mind....
I wonder why he was trying to get me to talk
like that. He wanted to know if I would mind...if he touched me...normally.
Well, I guess he got his answer after all. Still, this isn't right. I really
shouldn't let him. He'll just try to take advantage later...maybe. Do I
want him to?
Baka.
Then why was I worried about it earlier?
He still hasn't asked me.
But why is he acting like this now?
Damn houshi. Mmm...what are you up to?
Sigh. Do I always have to be so suspicious?
Probably.
Still...he is so warm....
If he did ask me...mmm...I think...I think
I would say....
"Sango?"
"Mm...maybe someday...."
"Huh?"
...but right now, I'd better watch what I say.
Don't want Miroku getting ideas....
Definitely not.
**********
Ah, that's much better.
The part about Sango...hehe...'grabbing' Miroku...I
have no idea what possessed me to have her do that. The idea just flowed
out of her thoughts, and then I couldn't resist having her actually do
it. (revenge is sooo sweet, ne?) It was probably drastically out of character...but
I was laughing so hard when I wrote that. I hope you got a kick out of
it too. Anyway, this-
Shippo: storming in> HEY!
Me: Uh....
Shippo: You wrote two fics, and I'm not in
either of them! I should be there! If Sango and Miroku are there, then
I'M there too! Myoga runs off all the damn time! I'm there! Where am I?
This has to be a breach of contract!
Me: Actually, Shippo-chan...um...this is a
fanfic. Contract notwithstanding...it doesn't apply here. See the disclaimer
thing at the top....
Shippo: reads disclaimer> I'm not in the
disclaimer either!
Me: sweatdrops>
Shippo: Where AM I?
Me: Uh...you're off defeating a terrible,
evil youkai all by yourself. Everyone else is busy having romantic moments.
Lazy, lazy people! Bad Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango and Miroku!
Shippo: Why can't I have a 'romantic moment'??
Me: (thinking> Because you're a kid?)
Uh.... You're rescuing a beautiful kitsune chibi-damsel in distress from
a terrible, evil youkai.
Shippo: That's better.
Me: Oh good....
Anyway. This, at the moment, is just going
to be a one shot. I don't know if I'll do Miroku's pov....
Shippo: What about my pov?
Me: Uh....well, I'd better be going now....
Shippo: What about my point of view!
Me: Ja ne, minna! Til next storytime!
Shippo: I've been jipped!!!
