Thoughts Sound effects "Speech"" Blood Anyone?"Chapter 1: Once Bitten…It was a beautiful day in the feudal era of Japan and all was quiet, well, except for maybe one little thing…
"Lecherous monk!"
Bam!
"Ouch!!"
Poor Miroku, due to a misunderstanding, he had angered Sango and despite the fact he had tried to explain himself, it had ended in vain, and a stinging pain in his skull.
'Did she really need to use the *hiraikotsu?' Miroku thought as he rubbed the lump left by Sango's favorite weapon. He sighed; it wasn't his fault, honestly. How had this happened, you ask? Well, let's go back to a few minutes earlier…

Sango was sitting on a small hill outside of Keade's village, wanting some alone time for herself.
'It's so nice out here, I think I'll take a little nap.' She thought happily.
Sango laid herself down upon the lush, green grass, letting the sound of the wind lull her off into a deep sleep. What she didn't know, was that a familiar face was watching her from some nearby bushes.
'My dear Sango, how I long to run my fingers through your hair and to whisper sweet nothings in your ears.' (What do ya know; Miroku actually has a romantic side.)
Growing bold, Miroku stepped away from his place behind the bushes, walking slowly, but surely toward the sleeping *taijiya. As soon as he was by her side, he kneeled down next to her, admiring her beauty as she slept.
'Sango, even while you sleep, you look so beautiful, so divine and oh so cute.' Miroku thought to himself.
As he gazed upon her sleeping form, his eyes soon rested upon her parted lips, pink and oh so soft, as if begging, pleading for him to place a kiss upon them.
'Sango, I long for the feel of your lips against my own, if I were to steal one, would you know? No, I mustn't. Even I would not stoop so low as to steal a kiss from my Sango as she sleeps, unaware of my presence.' Miroku thought angrily to himself.
He looked upon her once more, eyeing her lips hungrily, licking his own in anticipation, could he do it? Would he actually try to steal a kiss from Sango as she slept peacefully?
'No! I must not; I cannot do such a thing! Sango would kill me for even trying something so idiotic and foolish!' Miroku thought angrily.
He turned to leave, but a soft sigh from his sleeping *taijiya stopped him from doing so. He chanced another look at her lips, and then he regretted his decision almost immediately. When he had turned to look at her again, her small, pink tongue had slipped out between her lips, licking them before retreating back into her mouth. He bit into his cheek, almost drawing blood; that had done it; he had come to a descision. He leaned in close, watching Sango before closing his eyes, preparing himself for the pain that was to come.
'Forgive me Sango, but I cannot control myself any longer, I have waited too long for this.' He thought before he continued.
Then Sango started to stir; Miroku pulled himself away, watching Sango carefully as she moaned in her sleep. Thankfully, Sango didn't wake up, she twisted her body into a more comfortable position, her kimono opening slightly, showing a small amount of her bound chest. Miroku gulped hard in his throat, Sango had no idea how she was affecting him.
'Alright, it's now or never, no turning back.' Miroku thought.
He leaned in close, his lips just centimeters from her own. But then, fate decided Miroku was an ample target for their entertainment. Miroku's hands slipped out from under him, thanks to the dew that was still on the grass. Miroku's face ended up landing in the most unfortunate place: right in-between Sango's breasts. Though he hated to do it, knowing fully well what was going to happen, he looked up into Sango's eyes, which were now glowing a deadly crimson red.
"Um…Hello Sango, I hope you enjoyed your nap, please excuse my…disturbance, I'll just be going now." He said nervously, as he backed away slowly from the fuming *taijiya.
But Sango was never one to let her prey escape unharmed.
"Miroku! You lecher! I can't believe you!"
"Sango, I can explain!"
…And you know the rest.

"This is what I get for trying to steal a kiss from a *taijiya."
With that said, Miroku hoisted himself up into a standing position, dusting off his robes and following shortly after Sango, berating himself for his actions. After that, Sango completely ignored him for the rest of the day, while he tried everything to get her attention, and I mean everything.
Noon"Sango, please, I'm sorry, please forgive me!" He pleaded, showing his best puppy dog face.
But Sango just ignored his pleas for forgiveness, concentrating on polishing her *hiraikotsu.
Afternoon"These should put me back on Sango's good side." He said as he gathered up the flowers and made them into a bouquet.
Sango was busy brushing out Kilala's fur, her tiny friend enjoying the treatment. Suddenly, flowers were placed right underneath her nose, disturbing her task. She looked up and saw Miroku's face, smiling from ear to ear.
"Now do you forgive me?" He asked with a smile.
She looked at the bouquet, then back at Miroku. She sighed, looked him straight in the eye and said only a single word…
"No."
You could have sworn that his flowers wilted in his hands.
Evening"Sango, please! I'm on my knees, I am begging for forgiveness! I'll do anything, just please accept my apology!" He pleaded, holding her legs.
She sighed, he really was sorry, but no, he had to do better than that. She loosened his grip on her legs, pulling away from him.
"I'll be back for dinner later, I won't be gone long." And with that, she left.
Sango didn't wander too far away from the village; she was just exploring the forest a bit. She was enjoying the evening breeze and solitude, content with her surroundings, unaware of a set of eyes watching her from the bushes. Then, she heard rustling in the bushes, closing in on her.
'Damn! Of all the times to not have my hiraikotsu, why did it have to be now!'
Then, someone walked out of the bushes. It was a man, his hair was a snowy white, his eyes were blood red, and when he smiled, two long fangs were protruding from his upper lip.
"Such a fine countenance, I shall enjoy your blood, young lady." He said as he smiled at Sango again.
"Ha! The day I let myself get bitten by a vampire is the day I grow a third eye." She retorted. (Okay, I had no idea where I was going with that. I)
With that said, she started running back to the village, her legs working overtime to try and get away. She had almost reached the village, but her pursuer tackled her to the ground. He smiled once more, before he sank his fangs into her neck, drinking her blood contentedly, completely ignoring her cries of pain.
Back with our gang, Inuyasha picked up the scent of blood.
"Something's wrong, I smell blood, and I hear someone screaming, I think its Sango!"
Everyone started running outside, running towards the forest, the safety of their companion their main concern. Soon they found their comrade and her opponent wrestling on the ground, blood streaming down Sango's neck. The vampire lifted up his head, Sango's blood dripping from his lips.
"I must say, your friend here is a tasty one, too bad she isn't meant to live." He sneered, licking his lips maliciously.
Something in Miroku snapped, how dare he attack his Sango, his beloved, he would pay dearly for his transgressions.
"Curse you! I shall make you pay, you monster!"
Gone was the gentle monk, now a furious beast stood before the monster. Miroku went to attack, but the vampire spread his wings and took to the sky, laughing as he flew away.
"Foolish mortal! We shall meet again, and when we do, I shall have your head!"
Soon he was out of sight, leaving Miroku furious.
"Miroku! We need help carrying Sango, she's still breathing!" Kagome cried.
Soon they were racing back to Keade's village, Sango being carried by Miroku. Keade was outside, waiting for them. She took one glance at Sango's bleeding neck and ushered them inside.
"Ye say she was bitten by a vampire?"
Everyone nodded their heads solemnly, unable to speak about their friend's condition. As Keade was tending to Sango's wound, Miroku was off in his own little world, angry with himself for not being able to protect her. He chanced a look at Sango, hoping she would be okay.
"Will she be all right, Lady Keade?" He asked, his eyes darkened by sadness because of Sango's current state.
"We shall see how she fairs in the morning, young monk, but for now, it is late, it is time that we rest." She replied
Miroku rested uneasily that night, Sango's safety and health at the forefront of his mind. By morning, he was groggy and had a bit of a hard time waking up. He tried valiantly to open his weary eyes, barely managing to open them a crack. He could have sworn that he saw Sango right in front of him, upside down, but that wasn't possible, she would probably be laid up still, trying to recover.
"Morning Miroku, did you sleep well?' His Sango asked.
He had to laugh, his illusion was talking to him, what harm could come from answering it? After all, it wasn't real.
"I had a little trouble sleeping, I was worried about you all night long." He replied, smiling at his so called 'illusion'.
However, when he rubbed his eyes to wake himself up, his illusion was still there, smiling.
"Am I imagining things?" He asked.
Sango reached for his cheek and pinched, receiving a short 'ow' as an answer.
"Nope, you're awake, Sunshine." She replied, giggling behind her hand.
He couldn't believe it; Sango was fully recovered! Wait a sec, did Sango giggle? She never giggled, ever. He took a glance up at the ceiling, slowly taking in the fact that she wasn't hanging by her legs; she was standing on the ceiling like it was normal, it didn't even seem to register in her mind.
"Uh… Sango, how are you doing that?" He asked dumbly, pointing to her feet on the ceiling.
Sango looked down, finally taking in the abnormality of the situation. She swung herself up, grabbed the ceiling boards and placed her feet back on the ground. She brushed herself off casually before turning her attention to Miroku. She kneeled down to his level, watching him curiously. Then she did something that was out of her character; she cupped Miroku's face in her hands and brought him close.
"What's the matter, afraid I'll bite?" She asked playfully, winking at him.
Outside, he was mildly surprised, but on the inside, his heart was pounding hard in his chest, when had Sango gotten so bold and playful, and when the hell did she start winking at him! She surprised him even further by nuzzling his nose with her own; acting like it was normal, like she did this everyday.
"Um…Sango, do you feel okay?" He asked nervously.
She pulled away from him, sitting down on the hard, wooden floor, staring at Miroku like a curious pup. Then she smiled, and … dare I say it? Gave him a loving look, turning his insides to mush.
"Whatever do you mean, Miroku?" She crooned, smiling at the monk.
That's when he noticed two pointed fangs sticking out from under her upper lip.
