Since the story had little plot to it, only a few moments passed before Miroku understood what had transpired between Kagome and the youkai. It was concerning, absolutely, but also a little humorous and he was hard-pressed to hide his grin.

"Ah, good." With a bit of convincing, he drew his gaze from the top of her shirt back to her face. "What do you want to do about the demon then?"

"I don't know. I don't want to worry Inuyasha."
