Disclaimer: Yup. Nothing.
A/N: Ok, so I'm totally pulling some strings. Something strange happens to Kirara, and it may finally bring Miroku and Sango together. This first chapter is really short, but they should get longer as I go along.
Angels Among Us
Chapter 1: The Miracle
Miroku couldn't sleep. He was lying next to the campfire with the rest of the gang. 'There she is, in all her perfection,' he thought to himself. He was staring at Sango. Now was the only time he could do so without nasty punishment. She was so beautiful, even asleep. He liked watching her sleep, because sometimes she'd smile so peacefully. However, when she was awake, she usually scowled at him. He wondered if she would ever guess the real reason he was always staring at her.
He sighed. 'Guess it's my own fault. I've never even tried.' He tore his gaze from her and focused on the stars. 'I just wish I knew how to tell her.' Miroku's thoughts were broken by a whimper. He turned over to see Kirara wiggle out of Sango's arms. She was whining softly, as if she was intentionally trying to be quiet. Her eyes were squeezed shut and she darted into the woods. 'It seems like she's in severe pain,' Miroku thought, 'But why would she leave us if she'd been hurt?' He stood up after finally shaking off his surprise.
Miroku followed Kirara slowly and quietly. If something was upsetting her, he didn't want to offend her by butting in. But then he heard a human scream. He ran to a cleaning, where Kirara lie. She was writhing amongst some pine needles. Miroku noticed her size was changing back and forth between her large and small forms. Her little pink mouth was open wide revealing her feline teeth. However the sound that came out was clearly human. He was awestruck. "What's going on? Kirara, what's wrong?" he yelled before a white light blinded him.
He hit the dirt by instinct. Miroku uncovered his eyes as the light diminished. Before him, where Kirara had been, lay a naked young woman. Miroku couldn't help but stare. She was utterly beautiful. She had long, limber legs and hair that ran all the way to her hips. It was cream colored with oddly familiar black stripes at the end. Her eyes were large and almond shaped. It was only when Miroku looked at her face that he noticed. She had a button nose and two furry ears. Adorning her forehead was a black diamond.
He scrambled to his feet and ran back to the fire. He shook Sango violently. "What? What do you want?" she yelled, obviously not happy about being awakened. Miroku suddenly realized he had no idea what to tell her.
"Um, Kirara….um…just follow me and bring your extra kimono," he stammered finally. Sango hesitated, but his mention of Kirara made her follow him without question. As the pair walked to where the girl was, Miroku did his best to explain what happened.
He was just finishing when they reached her. "And I guess you can see the outcome," he pointed at the girl. Sango blushed violently for the naked woman and quickly hid her from Miroku's eyes.
"Monk, you better be telling the truth," she said through gritted teeth, "Or else you are in big trouble. Help me." After Sango dressed her, Miroku helped her carry the girl back to the fire.
