Chapter 3 – Of bullets and books.
"Mom…stop pushing me…" Kagome mumbled as someone pushed her around on her futon.
"I'm not your Mom, Kagome-sama," that certain someone replied.
Kagome's eyes snapped open to see Miroku reading an orange book while pushing her back around. "Oh…you're not my mom," she said still drowsy.
"No Kagome-sama, I'm not. I am an honorable monk who has not done anything wrong to dirty his hands or eyes," Miroku said in a confident voice. (Still holding that orange book)
Kagome giggled, "Is that book Make out Paradise? I thought you stopped reading those books when Sango threw them into the river!"
"Ah, I did stop…for a while. But when I went to the bookstore I couldn't resist! Jiraiya-sama had written a new book and then I just bought the other books too!" Miroku exclaimed lifting his hands up in a panicked way.
Kagome sighed, "Should I be a good friend and keep it a secret, or should I tell the truth to Sango and let her burn them?"
Miroku was about to answer when a chime from a bell struck as the miko's said their prayers. "I'm guessing that's a breakfast bell." Kagome said.
Miroku rolled his eyes at Kagome's guess but didn't comment on it. "Let's go Kagome-sama."
"No. Miroku you go and…let me change, I'm still in my pajamas," trying to keep her cool because Miroku was staring at her face with a perverted grin.
"No problem Kagome-sama! I'll just wait for you outside the doo…OW!" Miroku's face sported yet another handprint on his cheek.
Trudging down the steps Miroku heard chuckles; those chuckles belonged to his sensei whose chuckles turned into great big balls of laughter. "Miroku! What –ha- have –he- you –ha- done –he- with –ha- your –he- face!" Bankotsu managed to choke out in the middle of his very … happy laughter.
"It is very obvious Bankotsu-sensei, Miroku-kun did something wrong again," a smooth voice sounded as Rakanu leant against a tall maple tree.
Miroku pouted, "I hadn't even done anything and then Kagome-sama slapped me!"
"Telling tales are we Miroku?" a very annoyed Kagome came walking towards them.
Miroku gulped.
Bankotsu tried to muffle his laughter.
Rakanu smirked.
Kagome raged. "WHAT DID YOU EXPECT! CAN'T I AT LEAST DRESS IN PEACE! I DON'T WANT SOME DIRTY PERVERT TO STARE AT ME! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF SOMEONE WAS STARING AT YOU WHILE YOU WERE CHANGING?" Kagome ranted.
"Ah, if it were a beautiful maiden then I would gladly let her," once again a perverted grin appeared on Miroku's face.
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT! WOULDN'T YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE?" Kagome exploded getting very very frustrated.
"Nope," was Miroku's simple answer.
But apparently it was the wrong answer Kagome wanted to hear.
"ARGH! MIROKU! YOU ID-!" she was cut off because a cup of Sakurayu tea was placed in front of her, "Oh, thanks Aunt Kikyo,"
Kikyo smiled, "This tea should refresh you all for your journey."
Kagome-sama's a total bipolar Miroku thought sweat dropping.
"Thank you very much for doing all this for us," Bankotsu thanked politely.
"No, no. I should be thanking you! You all are doing me a huge favor by getting the herbs!" Kikyo exclaimed.
"Well, it is training and we get to see beautiful girls," Miroku said with a surprisingly straight face.
Kagome rolled her eyes Leave it to Miroku and his wonderful acting skills.
As if he heard her he grinned mischievously with a weird glint in his eyes.
~Time Lapse~
Kagome has learnt about barriers from Kikyo.
The rest were just training normally.
"Be careful and come back soon!" Kikyo waved as Team 9 walked away.
"See you Aunt Kikyo!" Kagome yelled back.
While walking there was a comfortable silence between the team. With Miroku reading his perverted book, Kagome gazing at her surroundings, Rakanu was polishing his sword and Bankotsu examining the area.
Suddenly the silence shattered, "Are we there yet?" Miroku whined. (Obviously he's being deprived of "beautiful women")
"No, we're not there yet Miroku," Bankotsu replied.
1 hour later~
"Are we there yet?" Miroku once again asked.
"Nope," Kagome answered rolling her eyes.
A few more hours later~
"Are -he- we –ha- there –he- yet?" Miroku said between perverted chuckles.
"Yes Miroku," Bankotsu sighed.
"FINALLY WE'RE HERE!" Kagome yelled.
Because there was a valley in front of them, Kagome's voice echoed … a lot.
She blushed.
With Naruto's Team
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sakura screamed as their sensei was ripped into pieces.
"One down…and now it's two," the two ninjas whispered into Naruto's ear.
Poor Naruto, frozen by sheer fright just stood there awaiting his death.
Sasuke smirked and jumped into the air while throwing two very well aimed shuriken and kunai. The shuriken landed first pinning the connected chains to a random tree. The kunai then landed and secured the shuriken ensuring that the chain couldn't be pulled off the tree.
I'm stuck! Thought one of the attackers thought.
Sasuke landed on the two attackers' claws. And then balanced his hands on one of the claws and kicked both attackers straight in the cheeks.
W-wow Naruto thought. (Naruto really did think that in the manga!)
The two attackers abandoned the chains and one of them ran at Naruto again with his claws while the other one ran towards old man Tazuna, preparing to slice both of them open.
H-he's coming! Sakura thought as she readied herself.
"Sir, get back!" Sakura yelled as she held her kunai in front of her ready to defend.
The attacker just got closer and closer to Tazuna and Sakura. But Sasuke appeared with his arms out facing the attacker, apparently prepared to take the blow for them.
Suddenly Kakashi appeared holding both attackers by their necks.
Kakashi-sensei! He's alive!Sakura thought.
Bah, show off Sasuke felt.
Naruto just stared at him. Oh! Kakashi just used the Substitution Jutsu!
Phew! We're saved Tazuna sighed with relief.
"I bet Kagome-chan would whip their asses if she were here!" Naruto yelled.
With Kagome-chan~
Kagome sneezed.
"Are you all right Kagome-sama?" Miroku asked, concerned for the girl.
"I bet someone's talking about me," Kagome replied.
She sneezed again. "And twice must mean that it's bad."
Bankotsu chuckled, "Or maybe you have hayfever."
"Oh…" Kagome answered rubbing her nose.
"GET OUT OF OUR TURF YOU IDIOTS!" a foreign voice yelled.
A red chakra bullet flew through the bush. Miroku quickly dodged it.
"How is this place your turf? It doesn't have your name on it!" Bankotsu taunted.
"I'LL SHOW YOU!" a woman leapt out of the bush. She had light green hair with an emo fringe. She was holding a chakra gun.
She raised her arm and aimed her gun at Bankotsu.
BANG!
