Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Inuyasha, only my own characters. (Soon to be revealed… Ooh! Suspense!!!)

Chapter 1:

Miroku & the hot springs

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"Ahhhh…" sighed the young woman as she sank into the delicious warmth of the hot spring.

It had been a hard road from the north and the hot bath was a welcome relief.

She started the long task of trying to persuade her hair to surrender to a comb

When she heard humans, by the sound of them female, talking not to far away.

She sighed inwardly, she had being enjoying herself but now…

Something moved, in the bushes that concealed the spring from view.

She reached for her clothes and silently moved behind a rocky outcrop, where she dressed hurriedly and shifted into her human form.

Dagger in hand, she circled round to the spot where the noise had come from.

A young monk was hiding in the bushes,

Obviously trying to spy on the human females in the spring adjacent to the one she had previously been occupying.

(A/N: sigh he just never learns does he… oh well he deserves what's coming to him [evil smirk. read on…)

This really ticked her off; the two springs were just too close for her liking… if he had seen her…

"Mind explaining what your doing Monk?" she hissed putting a hell of a lot of malice into the word.

"Ah! Why nothing my good lady!" she was startled as he suddenly grabbed her rear

She slapped him across the face, hard, raising a large welt.

"Hands off Monk!"

"I am so sorry, could you find it in your heart to forgive me and bare my child?"

She slapped him again, the surprise had shaken her form and she regained her ears and tail.

His eyes widened as he realized his mistake, he swung his staff at her, which she avoided then pulled out of his hands

She struck him over the head with it, "Filthy Letcher!"

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

(Some hours later)

Sango looked concerned, "where do you think Miroku has got to?"

"Yeah…" said Kagome thoughtfully "I haven't seen him in ages! Do you know where he is Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha shrugged, "I haven't seen him since he went for a walk shortly after you two went off to the hot springs"

Kagome and Sango burst into flames

"WHAT?!" they cried in unison

"I'll kill him! This time I'll really kill him!" raged Sango

"We'll let's go find him!" said Kagome "I've got a few things to say to him and they aren't gonna be pretty!"

Inuyasha and Shippo, more than slightly startled by the girl's sudden ferocity, just did what they said and went off to find a very ill-fated monk.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

(A large tree near where Miroku was attacked)

"Hmmm, well knowing Miroku you'd expect him to be round here somewhere" said Inuyasha

Sango and Kagome had calmed down considerably and were content to scowl as they continued to search.

Inuyasha put his nose to the ground

"Yup! He was here alright! The no-good son-of-a… hang on" he sniffed around some more

"What?! Demon scent?"

"A demon?" questioned Kagome holding a sleepy Shippo

"An angry one at that, the aura is masked, but…" he sighed "start planning his funeral Sango, its female,"

"Um guys, I'm sensing a jewel shard around here."

"C'mon" said Sango "we better get going if we want him to be alive when we get there"

Inuyasha walked around to the other side of the tree, "err, I found him!"

Miroku had been pinned to the tree by his robe with several daggers lodged deep into the bark,

He had two black eyes, a blood nose, a pair of bright red 'slap-prints' and the word 'PERVERT!' written on his forehead in black ink.

Sango sighed and went to pull the daggers loose, Kagome went to help

"Whoa!" cried Kagome impressed, "these sure are stuck in deep!" she tried in vain to pull them out "whoever she was, he really pissed her off!"

"Feh! He had it coming to him" said Inuyasha, pulling out the blades till the unconscious monk was free.

"We'll you were right Inuyasha, who ever did this was obviously female" said Sango dryly, pointing to the painful-looking red handprints on his face.

"Whoever she was she sure is violent!" said Kagome trying to revive him using water from the springs, "he's not going to forget this one in a hurry"

Miroku came round

"Ow! I think I may have broken something." He said wincing as he sat up and met with the unsympathetic glares of his companions. "The last thing I remember is…"

"Is what?" scowled Sango "creeping up on some innocent woman trying to have a bath!!!"

"Err, well actually…" he reached around for his staff. "Huh! It's gone! My staff! It's disappeared"

Again the others gave him no sympathy.

"You probably dropped it while you were having the crap beaten out of you" said Inuyasha

Miroku got up stiffly and was about to go look for it when it came hurtling out of the trees to stick in the ground at his feet.

"What the?"

Kagome went to pull it out; it took her a few goes but she got it eventually.

"Whoa! Whoever threw it sure used a lot of force!" she said inspecting the good six inches of staff that had until recently been embedded in the ground.

"I don't know about you guys but I'm not sticking around to see if she's calmed down yet" said Miroku taking his staff back and hobbling towards the village.

"Ah! So it was a she!" said Sango dryly, "I think this is conclusive evidence that she's not" pointing to the small, yet deep hole in the ground.

"Ah! So you see my logic!" called Miroku, his mood greatly improved.

Everyone sweatdropped and Inuyasha muttered "coward" in his general direction.

Suddenly a cry of "FILTHY LECHER!!!" was heard and a rather large rock hit Miroku in the side of the head,

(A/N: pretty hard if I do say so. –Snigger-)

Everyone turned to see a young woman standing in a tree brandishing a similar rock as the one that just collided with the monk's head.

(A/N: -snigger-)

She hurled it at him with surprising strength and accuracy.

She turned to the others, "friend of yours?"

-To be continued…-

I hope you liked this first chapter

For all those wondering yes I did indulge in the fan fic tradition of;

'Over describing the first paragraph or so'

It may take me some time to update because I have very limited Internet time but…

Please review and tell me what you thought

Flames are ok because then I know I've done something wrong that you guys don't like.

I will post the next chapter (An Irate Demon) when I get 10 reviews, good or bad.

[Because what's the point of writing a story is no one reads it?!
