Tales of Sora part 24
The Monk named Miroku
You four of you traveled all day and found no jewel shards. But at least you and Kagome found these hot springs! Kagome happily lowered herself into the spring. "Ahh, this feels great. Com'on Sora." You wanted to but was it safe? You closed your eyes, "Ok." You quickly took your clothes off. Your nine tails covered your private parts. You slowly lowered yourself opposite of Kagome. Your tails relaxed at the touch of the hot water. "Ahhh." It did feel great. "Inuyasha, you better not peak." Kagome said. Inuyasha sat near the bank with his back to you and Kagome, "Don't worry, that doesn't interset me." He said. Kagome then looked annoyed, "Jeez, he is such a rude guy." She mumbled. You could feel the air get tense. Kagome had an annoyed look on her face. A minute passed and then she just stretched out her arms, "Its good to have a girl to hangout with." She said. Suddenly you noticed two monkeys behind Kagome on top of a rock. "Kagome...." You were about to tell her but too late. One of the monkeys pulled on Kagome's hair. "AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Kagome screamed. "What happened!?" Inuyasha and Shippo ran into the water. You screamed, "INUYASHA GET OUT!!!" Kagome grabbed a rock and hit Inuyasha in the head. "Its ok, so get out!" Kagome turned to the monkey, "Shoo! Shoo!" Shippo had a sweat drop, "It's a monkey." He mumbled.
*next
morning*
"Jeez, how long are you going to be angry for?"
Kagome said. Then she turned and mumbled, "Because you saw me
and Sora naked, you should see it as a favour." Inuyasha was
trailing behind you, Kagome, and Shippo with an annoyed look on his
face, "I didn't see anything!" Kagome then said to Shippo,
"He did see, didn't he?" Shippo looked nervous, "I
wouldn't know." You sighed, "Inuyasha, you so did see."
Inuyasha walked next to you, "So you are taking her side!"
The four of you suddenly stopped. A big rumbling sound was coming
from the cliff. All of you looked up at were the rumbling was coming
from. Coming down the slope is a sort of giant Pac-man with a round
head several meters wide, with a huge, fanged mouth and large eyes.
Inuyasha looks on with a sweat drop, Shippo's eyes bug out, and
Kagome looked on in shock, and you also had a sweat drop.
"Bastards!!" It said in a low voice. It was coming towards
you!! It slide past Kagome and crashed into you, Inuyasha, and
Shippo. Inuyasha was below the monster, trying to stand his ground
while sliding down the hill. Shippo tumbled down the hill. You too
were below the monster trying to hold it off. You looked up to see
Kagome in a mans lap. He looked like a monk. Inuyasha too saw this.
"Move bastard!" Inuyasha punched the monster in the mouth.
Your ring turned into your sword and you swung it at the monster, "If
you don't move..." You began to threat. The monster screamed in
panic and turned into a racoon dog. It was on its knees, clutching
its head, "Oh no, I'm going to be killed!" It cried. You
stepped back, it was scared of you. Inuyasha didn't hesitate though,
he took out his Tensagia and raised it, preparing to kill the raccon
dog. Before you could tell Inuyasha to stop a huge gust of wind came
and blew Inuyasha backwards and he crashed into the side of the
cliff, losing grip on his Tensagia. Whoa, did the monk just.....did
that wind just come from him? The monk rode away on Kagome's bike the
racoon dog ran after him, leaving Kagome. You and Kagome and Shippo
ran to Inuyasha. "Crap, how dare he do that to me!"
Inuyasha spat. You gave Inuyasha his untransformed tensagia. "Who
was that monk?" You asked. "He said he was a servant of the
Buddha or something like that." Kagome said. "Oh no!"
Kagome got up and looked at the tire marks her bike left. You and
Inuyasha looked on in confusion. "What is it?" You asked.
"He escaped riding my bike.
How nasty!" She hissed.
Inuyasha got up, "Why complain about that? Idiot, you were the
one who was about to be taken away!" Kagome turned to Inuyasha
and you with a worried expression on her face, "I'm so sorry."
She said. Inuyasha blushed, " It, it's not like I'm worried
about you or something. It's the Shikon fragment you're carrying
that..." Kagome interruped, "Yes, thats why. The big Shikon
fragment too was stolen." Inuyasha looked very annoyed. You were
too, but not at Kagome. "Lets get that bastard!" Inuyasha
said. Kagome and Shippo rode on Inuyasha's back. You ran next to him.
"That man shouldn't have gone too far with that bike. It falls
down a lot." Inuyasha said. "Inuyasha did you practice
riding it?" Kagome asked. "Shut up!" Inuyasha growled.
You smiled, amused by how Kagome treats Inuyasha. The four of you got
to the village. You and Inuyasha sniffed for the monks scent. "Still
nothing?" Kagome asked. "His scent is too mixed with
others." You said. Many villagers were staring. You could tell
that Kagome didn't like the attention. You could hear the villagers
whispering. "See that girls clothing? Do you think she's a
demon?" One villager whispered. You continued to sniffed around.
"Hey look, its my bike!" Kagome pointed to her bike sitting
against a building. Inuyasha smiled, "That means the monk is in
there!" Inuyasha slide the door open and sure enough the monk
was sitting in a room filled with girls. Inuyasha walked forward but
the monk walked straight passed him to Kagome. He gripped her hands
in his. "Hey! I'm your opponent!" Inuyasha shouted as he
swung his fist at the monk. The monk ducked, all the girls in the
building started to scream. "Jeez, your so violent!" Miroku
said. Inuyasha flexed his claws, "Somehow, it seems you don't
feel like handing over the Shikon fragment without fuss, does it?"
You stood there, this wasn't your fight. But you blocked the monks
way out. "This shouldn't be in the hands of a half-demon."
The monk said joke like. The monk ran towards you. You tried to grab
Miroku but he ducked and kicked you aside. You have not fought anyone
in a long time nor had the heart for violence. It reminded you too
much of Bankotsu. But what use would you be to Inuyasha if you could
not fight? Miroku ran out the door with Inuyasha chasing him. You ran
out after him with Kagome and Shippo. Inuyasha pulled out his
Tensagia and swung it at Miroku. Miroku blocked it with his staff.
Miroku smiled, "Are you prepared for your doom?" Inuyasha
looked surprised that Miroku blocked the Tensagia. "Who the hell
are you?" Inuyasha asked. "My name is Miroku. I help
people, I'm a monk." He said. "You're a monk helping people
in trouble!? Don't kid me, you thieving scum!" Inuyasha spat.
"This is for your own benefit, you will let me keep the Shikon
no Tama as things are now. Inuyasha..." Miroku said. Your ears
twitched, "How do you know Inuyasha's name?" You asked.
"Its what that beautiful young women called him by." Miroku
answered. You stared at Kagome. Kagome smiled, "Somehow, he
doesn't seem like a bad guy." You stared at the monk, he did
look somewhat innocent. "Get a grip Kagome! He is a jewel
thief!" Shippo said. Inuyasha rushed forward with the Tensagia.
Miroku held his staff up. Inuyasha hit the staff with his tensagia.
Miroku was pushed back, "Not bad, you've got good strength!"
Miroku said. This was your chance! You ran to Miroku and kick him and
took his staff. "Shit!" Miroku said as he fell to the
ground. Inuyasha ran to him to finish him off. "Hand the jewel
over unless you want to die!" Inuyasha yelled. Miroku quickly
got up and turned and ran away. "Everyone looking on, run from
this place!" Miroku said to the villagers. You, Kagome, Shippo,
and the villagers looked at him surprised. Miroku stopped running and
turned around. "Give it up! You lost!" Inuyasha said.
Miroku extended his right arm smiling. "I don't like violence,
but I hate even more to lose." He said. He pulled beads off his
gloved hand. A huge blast of wind started to pull Inuyasha. Bits of
wood disappeared into Mirokus hand. Inuyasha dug Tensagia into the
ground to anchor himself. The tensagia slide in the ground. "You
won't be able to endure for long!" Miroku said. You, Kagome, and
Shippo hid behind a wall support. Villagers were running away
screaming, "Run, or you'll be sucked in!" This was beyond
monk powers! "We should run too!" Shippo said. "No
way! We got to stop him!" You said. Inuyasha charged forward
with his Tensagia. "I'll cut off that arm!" He yelled. "Its
pointless. You and your sword will be sucked in!" Miroku said.
Kagome suddenly ran toward the wind tunnel. "No Kagome!"
You stupidly ran after her, forgetting about the wind tunnel. You and
Kagome flew over Inuyasha's head toward Miroku. Miroku saw this and
quickly wrapped his arm back up. Kagome flew head on into Miroku and
they slid across the ground. You flew and slid next to them. Deep
inside your mind you were screaming do that again! You got up and
went to Kagome and Miroku. Miroku's hand was sealed up with rosemary
beads. Kagome sat up. "Kagome! What were you thinking!"
Inuyasha said. "If he opened his hand earlier, he would have
killed us already. I think he is a person we can talk with."
Kagome said. Miroku's right hand twitched and started to rub Kagome's
behind. Kagome screamed and jumped into the safty of Inuyasha's arms.
"On second thought, kill him!" Kagome said. "You
perverted priest!" Inuyasha spat. You looked at them with a
sweat drop. Miroku got up, "Calm down, lets talk things over."
You, Miroku, Shippo, and Inuyasha went to some tree covered hills.
Miroku sighed, "The reason I have been collecting jewels shard
is to destroy a demon....he is called Naraku." You raised your
head and gasped.
*flashback*
"Have you ever heard of
Naraku?" Bankotus asked. That was the first time you ever heard
of Naraku. "No, who is he?" Bankotsu looked at sealed
Inuyasha. "A demon I met once, he told me about Inuyasha, Kikyo,
and the sacred jewel." Bankotsu said. You grew a little
suspicious on this Naraku person, how does he know about all that?
And why tell Bankotsu?
*end flashback*
"I know
Naraku!!" You blurted out. Everyone stared at you surprised.
"How do you know Naraku?" Inuyasha asked. You turned and
smiled, "Bankotsu told me!:)" A few seconds pasted, "Who
is Bankotsu?" Inuyasha asked. You stopped smiling. "Sorry
for interrupting, please continue." You told Miroku. "This
wind tunnel in my right arm was cursed by Naraku. Naraku has a strong
evil energy, and consumes people. Beyond that, my grandfather fought
Naraku when he was young. It was about 50 years ago. Over the course
of several years, there were several fights between Grandfather and
Naraku...on each appearance, he had borrowed the form of a different
human, I'm told. At their last battle Naraku was in the form of a
beutiful young lady. But...." Before Miroku could go on Kagome
cut in. "He was a pervert too." Miroku nodded, "Correct.
He put this wind tunnel in my grandfathers right arm. This wind
tunnel is inherited for generations. One day, I'll will be sucked up
into the tunnel. Unless I kill Naraku. The wind tunnel has become
bigger over the years, and it's suction power has increased
accordingly. If I get sucked up, should that happen, I don't mind. If
that is to be my destiny...but I'm not letting Naraku get away. The
Shikon no Tama should have been annihilated 50 years ago, but it has
appeared again in this time, scattered around, I've heard...Naraku
will definitely be collecting together the Jewel, and should be
seeking more power. The reason is that.... 50 years ago, I hear that
Naraku almost got his hands on the Shikon no Tama. He killed the
priestess protecting the Jewel..." Miroku said. Your jaw
dropped. Inuyasha was in shock. "K-Killed the priestess!?"
You and Inuyasha said at the same time. Inuyasha grabbed Miroku,
"Miroku! You said that Naraku or whatever guy, can borrow all
sorts of forms, right? What about now!? What kind of appearance is he
using now!?" Inuyasha asked. "Of course... if I knew that,
I would have found him out and done away with him already."
Miroku said. You couldn't believe it. It was all Naraku's fault about
this mess! Hatred swelled inside you. Its because of him!!! "If
we keep collecting the fragments, we will come across him, won't we?"
You said. "Lets collect them together." Kagome said. Miroku
stared, "I find that I, tend to dislike getting deeply involved
with other people. Kagome, are you worrying about me?" Miroku
went up to Kagome and clenched her hands in his. "In that case,
I have a question....will you bear my child?" He asked. You
giggled at the perverted monk. Inuyasha was getting angry. Kagome had
a annoyed look on her face, "Why should I?" She asked. "If
by some freak chance I cannot complete my revenge against Naraku,
when I die...it is essential that I entrust the family duty onto a
child." Miroku said. Inuyasha put himself between Miroku and
Kagome, "Give me a break you lecherous monk. If you bother
Kagome with one strange request again...." Miroku cut in, "I'm
so sorry. I didn't know you were in love with Kagome." You
started to laugh, this guy was pretty fun to have around. Inuyasha
went red with anger and embarrassment, "I'm just using her as a
tool to get the jewel!" Kagome spat, "That's right you
already have someone you care about!" Inuyasha edged away from
her. You sighed, "Inuyasha, you should treat Kagome better."
Inuyasha growled, "There you go taking her side again!" You
laughed, but deep inside your heart...a new hatred grew.
