Now that Naraku was gone, the group decided to stay together, and live as one big family. Kagome had gone back to her time and visited once every month. Shippo left for training, so he's no longer in the picture until further notice. She stayed for about a week or so and left. It was now Inuyasha and Miroku sitting in Kaede's hut while Sango was out on a mission. Demons don't flee around like they used to. Now with Naraku being gone, it's almost as if everyone and everything got back to their normal lives.
"I'm so bored." Said Inuyasha. He was laying on the ground on his stomach. He glanced over at Miroku, and the monk was staring at him. They quickly locked eyes and Miroku blushed. "Is there something wrong with me?" he asked. Miroku quickly shook his head.
"No, I'm just bored too." Said Miroku.
"Hmph. I'm going to the springs. Laying around isn't doing anything for me." Said the hanyou.
"So laying around while submerged in water will?" said Miroku with a smile. Inuyasha snorted. "You mind if I join you?" asked the monk. Inuyasha shook his head and with that, both of them headed to the springs.
Once they got there, Inuyasha was first to take off his clothes. Miroku usually kept his eyes to himself when Inuyasha disrobed, but for some reason, he kept looking at Inuyasha's groin.
"Keep your eyes to yourself, pervert!" said Inuyasha. Miroku blushed hard and looked away.
"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" he said, looking down. Miroku shed his clothing and got in next to Inuyasha, keeping his distance. Miroku sighed and laid back against the rock wall behind him.
"What's on your mind?" asked Inuyasha. The boys usually don't talk much about deep things, but when they're alone, it's a whole different story. They are secretly best friends. Miroku looked down.
"I don't think me and Sango are going to last." He said.
"What makes you say that? You two love each other." Said the hanyou.
"I don't know if I do anymore. I don't think she does either. We just kind of drifted apart." Said Miroku. "And I saw her speaking with Kagome about another man, but I don't want to assume things." He added. Inuyasha looked at his friend.
"Damn, Miroku. That sucks. Did you talk to her about it?" he said.
"No, I don't want to." He said.
"Why not?" asked Inuyasha. There was a moment of silence.
"I just have feelings for someone else." He said. Inuyasha's eyes went wide.
"Really? Who?" he asked. Miroku shook his head.
"If you found out, you probably wouldn't be too happy." He said.
"Is it Kagome?" asked Inuyasha, with a concerned look on his face.
"What? No!" said Miroku. "Not at all!" Inuyasha nodded.
"Well, whoever it is, just do what makes you happy. Sango is like family, but that doesn't mean we pick sides. I'm here for you. He said, we he put his hand on Miroku's shoulder for support.
"I just feel like everything is going downhill for me." Said Miroku with his voice breaking. Inuyasha knew he was about to cry, so by instinct he pulled him into a hug. Miroku immediately wrapped his arms around the hanyou. "I feel like a child. I'm sorry." Said the monk.
"Feh, it's fine." He said, not letting go of the hug.
"Inuyasha, we're naked. You can let go now." Said Miroku. Suddenly Inuyasha remembered that they were naked, and not only that, their groins were fully touching. They quickly let go and blushed hard.
"Y-You think it's time to get out?" asked Inuyasha. Miroku nodded. They quickly got out and Miroku couldn't help but look at Inuyasha's member.
"I-Inuyasha…" said Miroku. Inuyasha looked at him.
"What?"
"Do you like men?" asked the monk. "It seems that your penis is hard." He added. Inuyasha went red as a cherry. He indeed was semi-erect.
"I-It was the hot water with the friction! That's it!" said the hanyou, quickly getting dressed.
"O-Oh." Said Miroku. Inuyasha couldn't help but realize that Miroku sounded a bit sad. He shrugged it off and followed the monk back to the campsite.
'That was close.' Thought the hanyou.
