Giving her heartfelt thanks to Inuyasha, Kagome headed back toward her room, and Miroku became the devil on Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Don't tell me you're going to pass that ass up."
"She's a guest on the ship and I like my job."
Rolling his eyes Miroku persisted. "It's nothing but a dry spell on this ship, man! And she's just what I need to quench my thirst. That is, of course, if you don't want to…"
"Don't even think about it. She's definitely not for you."
"And you're saying so is for you?"
Inuyasha groaned. Leave it Miroku and his perverted twist on life to make him see the girl differently than he did 30 seconds ago. "Get out. Don't come back until morning and stay away from Kagome."
"You spoil all my fun." Miroku made a dash for the door before Inuyasha could wring his neck.
The next afternoon Kagome brought Inuyasha lunch in the infirmary. Dressed in a pretty yellow sundress and her hair pulled back in a braid she entered, sitting the to go box on his desk. Seeing Miroku she smiled.
"Is Inuyasha round? I brought him lunch."
"Nope. He's out checking on an older patient."
"Oh, ok, then. Tell him I stopped by, please." She took a step toward Miroku and before she knew it he had pushed his chair to the other side of the room. Surprised, Kagome looked at him, offended.
"Please, don't misunderstand, Miss Kagome, but I am under strict orders to stay away from you."
"What? Why?"
"Inuyasha said so, and I don't argue with my boss when it comes to his woman."
"His woman?" Kagome left the infirmary confused and excited by the way Miroku referred to her. Not paying attention she wandered the deck before tripping over a chair.
