Only You
Chapter Three: Horohoru!
~ The Next Day- Miroku's room ~
The sun's rays were peering through the windows, shining on Miroku's sleeping face.
"He's not awake yet. Perfect."
A woman walked into his room and sat next to his sleeping figure. She brushed her hand on his cheek. She just sat there, looking at him as if he was a priceless gem. She removed her hand as soon as she saw Miroku opening his eyes. She got up and darted to the door. Miroku woke up just as the woman left.
"Who was that?" /Sango?/
He got up and made his way to the garden.
~ Meanwhile in Sango's room ~
Sango was sleeping peacefully in her room. A dark figure came into her room and sat next to her. He gently shook her awake.
"Sango, wake up"
"Hmm? Who's that?"
"Good morning Sango. Did you have a good sleep?"
Sango sat up and looked at the man in front of her. All she could see however, was a dark figure. /Houshi-sama?/
The man smiled and placed his lips against hers. "I just wanted to see how you are doing. I'll see you later" and he walked out of the room. Sango just sat there dumbfounded. "He kissed me...he kissed me. Was that... was that Houshi-sama?" /I hope it was.../
~ Outside ~
The sun was up and so was everybody in the village. Someone reported that there was an "ominous cloud" hanging over a mansion. Just as Sango suspected, Miroku was after what was inside.
"I sense an evil presence inside this house"
Sango let out a heavy sign /yeah, right. More like another pretty girl that he wants to get his dreaded hands on./
She always would wonder. Why was he such a lecher? This question would always pop up in her mind. He was monk after all. Isn't he supposed to be sworn to celibacy or something?
"Sango, what are you waiting for?"
Sango let out a sigh and followed her beloved monk.
"Miroku!"
Miroku turned around and found whom the voice belonged to. Sango, who been doing a lot of sighing lately, let out another sigh./Not her again/
"Ah, Shibami. I wasn't expecting you here"
Shibami latched herself to Miroku's arm. "I was told that there was an ominous cloud hanging over the place. Don't worry Miroku, I'll help you"
Sango could feel the green bug of jealously creeping up. "Its alright Shibami, I'll help Miroku" She didn't latch herself to Miroku's arm but stood beside him instead.
"But Sango-chan, you'll need all the help you can get. There could be a very evil presence here" Shibami held on to Miroku's arm even tighter.
"ME, Miroku and Shippou can handle it. We've done it many times before. So you can leave now. Nice seeing you again, good-bye."
"Lady Sango, you don't have to be so rude to Shibami. I'm sorry about that"
Sango let out, yes you guessed it, another sigh, but her mind was screaming /Houshi-sama! She's flirting with you! She's going to take you away from me! Ah! I didn't just say that. Houshi-sama wasn't even mine to begin with!/
"Houshi..."
BOOM!
A loud noise was heard coming from behind them. Everybody got ready to attack. It was a large dragonfly youkai. Sango was ready to attack but a blur came out of nowhere and attacked the youkai. The dragonfly was slaughtered and disappeared the blur stopped and showed itself.
"You!"
Sango was surprised when she also heard Shibami's voice. Sango and Miroku turned to her. Shibami was talking to the youkai.
"So,your still alive"
Miroku turned to Shibami. "You know this guy?"
"Unfortuneately. Everybody, this is Horohoru. He's a Falcon youkai."
Everybody turned to him. Shippou tugged on Shibami's shirt. "If he's a falcon youkai, where are his wings?"
As soon as Shippou mention the word wings, Horohoru let them out.
"You see little kitsune, I can how you say, retract them and release them when I need them. Ah, Sango-chan, nice to see you again"
Horohoru flew over to Sango amd kissed her hand. Sango blushed. "It's nice to see you again too Horohoru"
He smiled at Sango. "You don't have to call me that, call me Horo for short"
This time, it was Miorku's turn to see the green bug of jealousy. /I remember him now, he was that demon with Sango last night. I wonder what he wants/
"You remember Miroku?" Sango asked Horo.
"Why of course. How are you Houshi?"
"I'm fine. Sango, since our job has already been done here, let's go"
Shibami piped up. "Miroku! Wait! What about that ominous cloud you sensed? Shouldn't we deal with that?"
Sango wanted to laugh. "There is no ominous cloud" /and she calls herself a miko/
Horo turn around. "Shibami. Long time no see. I've been looking for you."
"Do I have something you want Horohoru? Or are you just here to say hello?" That last part she was being sarcastic.
"Why do you still hold a grudge on me?"
Shibami walk over to Horo.
"Don't act like you know me! You know exactly why I dislike you!"
The owner of the mansion walked into the room. "I am grateful that you cleansed my home and I will repay you but would you please talk about your personal problems somewhere else?"
"Horo turned to the owner. "My apologies. We will be leaving now"
Miroku turned to Horo "That's my line!"
"Miroku? Can we leave now? I'm worried about Kagome and Inuyasha. They're not back yet"
"Don't worry Shippou, they're fine."
"Still, we should leave or the owner will get mad"
"You're right. Let's go"
Everybody left the mansion. The atmosphere around them was very...discomforting. Everybody, excluding Shippou was keeping an eye on someone. Shibami on Sango and vice versa and Miroku on Horo.
Shippou felt like a babysitter. "I wish Kagome and Inuyasha would hurry up, these guys are scaring me!"
