I think I'll take a little break after this chapter. Besides, I'm looking for a job and that will take a while. But anyways, here you go! Chapter 3 of my first Inu-Yasha fiction.
As Inu-Yasha and Miroku walked into town, they where greeted with stares and odd gestures from the towns people. "What? It's like they've never seen a demon before." Inu-Yasha scolded. Miroku walked on trying not to bring anymore attention then they where already getting. "I'm sure it's just that they don't trust demons what's so ever." Miroku said as they made their way down the road. Their destination: The village lord's domain. "So, what is it this time? An ominous dark cloud? A demon exorcist? Or just maybe the lord's daughter is the target of an assassination." Miroku shook his head at the accusations he made.
"Not at all, my half-witted friend. I'm going to ask the kind sir if he'll spare us a room and share with us some food and a bath." As they made there way to the gate, Miroku offered Inu-Yasha the right of way. "After you." Inu-Yasha didn't know what was going on, but proceeded anyway. As they made there way to the main hut, there was a scream of desolate horror. Inu-Yasha drew his sword ready for battle. "AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!! A DEMON!"
"Where is he? Just leave it to me." Miroku was right behind him and drew his staff ready. "Hey, Inu-Yasha. Sorry." Inu-Yasha turned to Miroku to see what he meant. "What the hell are you talking about?" But the last thing he saw was Miroku bring his staff down and once again, he was enshrouded in total darkness.
It was almost sunset when Inu-Yasha woke up."Wha... what happened just now?" He heard a voice from above. "It's about time you woke up." Miroku said. He had a plate of food in his hand and was wrapped in a bath robe. "Inu-Yasha looked around and from the heap of steer fertilizer he was next to, he could only guess he was in a barn. "Ok, Monk. You have about ten seconds to explain yourself and maybe I'll only rip off one of you're arms" Miroku set the plate down and began to explain. "I wanted to make a good impression on the lord, so I saved his daughter from the crazed dog beast." Inu-Yasha stared a blank for a moment, but it eventually sank in. "Oh, so you saved the princess from a rabid, vicious, me, is that it?" Miroku reassured him. "Don't worry. I'll have you out of here by morning. Long before they burn you alive like they declared they would." Inu-Yasha's face went as pale as a sheet. "HEY, YOU TRADORUS, LIEING, SON OF A BI-." He was silenced by a jelly-bun shoved in his mouth. "I placed seals around this barn, so I suggest you keep quiet until I release you in the morning. Goodnight."
As Miroku exited, Inu-Yasha layed there sulking that he must spend the night with the farm animals. He looked at his meal and knew that this was out of pity. "Hmph. I don't need this. I'd rather starve." At these words, a mouse crawled out of a hole in the wall and began eating his meal. "Hey, I didn't say I wasn't going to eat it!" he snapped as the rodent ran back to the wall.
Meanwhile, Miroku was in the private bath house of the lord's mansion. "Haaa. A monk like myself could really get used to this." He layed back with only a towel and his hand wrapped in prayer beads. "I only wish Kagome and Sango could be here to share in this hospitality." As he layed back and began to float into a dream state, the door slid open. To Miroku's surprise, There was several beautiful women wrapped in nothing but towels which left little to the imagination. "Do you mind if we join you, kind sir?" Miroku could only smile and thank the gods for his blessings. "Not at all. Please, make yourself as comfortable as you desire." The girls all gathered around him with saki, tofu, bath oils, and other luxurious items. "Oh, kind sir," one girl spoke. "May I have the honor of washing you're back?" Miroku couldn't deny such a beauty her wish. "Why go ahead. If that is what you please." The girl sat on the bench and began to wash his back up and down. Miroku was loving every minute of this heaven.
The lord's daughter, the one who he 'saved' from Inu-Yasha, scooted right next to Miroku with a bottle of saki.. "Oh sir. Would you like a drink of our best saki? It's right from my father's private collection." Miroku was almost giddy with joy, but kept his cool. "Why if it's of you're lords private stash, then I'll humbly accept." With devious eyes, the maiden lifted the bottle over Miroku's head and continued to pour wine all over him. Miroku was drenched and the girls all began lick the rice wine off of his chest and stomach.
(author's note: This was heavily requested by the crazed Miroku fan girls. This was NOT my idea whats-so-ever! And this newer version is dedicated to Ruby Neko, the weirdo who suggested this.)
'Well, it seams the gods have rewarded me for all my rightful doings. But then again, I am cursed with good fortune and boyish good-looks. Miroku was in paradise when all of a sudden, there was loud banging at the door. "Open up! I know you're there, Arashi! Answer me! Arashi!" Miroku recognized the voice of the lord and quickly ducked underwater. The door flung open and the lord stampeded in. "Where is he?" the lord demanded to know. "I know he's here! Trying to steel my daughter away and for steeling my best wine. I will personally see him to hell!" Arashi stood up holding her towel up and demanded her father to leave. "Get out! You will not touch the man I love! He is a brave and noble man who saved me from the horrid, wretched demon this afternoon. If you dare touch him, I swear I will never forgive you."
The lord didn't so much as flinch as he snapped his fingers. Mere seconds later, the bath house was stormed with guards armed with swords and spears. As they surround the bath, all the women began to gather in the middle of the bath. Then, some bubbles floated to the top. Then some more, and even more so. Until Miroku, unable to hold his breath any longer, shot up from the water and was surrounded by a an army and several beautiful women. "Um... Kind lord, I wish to express my most humble apologies for this little scene we have here." Miroku was really brown-nosing now.
"It's too late for that, you back-stabbing letch! Guards, seize him!" As the guards came in lunging their weapons right at Miroku's heart, he reached over to grab his staff and fight his way out. When he reached out for it though, he found it was not where he left it as the guards continued to lung forward. "You'll have to go through me to get to him." Arashi, with one stroke of Miroku's staff, sent the guards through the walls of the bath and resumed a battle stance. "Father, leave now or I swear, I will not be held responsible for what i will do." Her father simply turned tail and hauled ass back to the main building.
Miroku felt like his pride as a man was broken as he sat there surrounded by women with the knocked-out guard's swords. He was saved by a princess. The very princess who shrieked because of a verminous dog demon. "Well, this was fun, but I think I'll leave now before I become any more unaAahh-" be fore he could get up however, Arashi grabbed him by the towel and made sure he didn't go anywhere.
"Why, you aren't going anywhere, Miroku, love. You'll stay with me and you will love me forever." As Arashi came closer to his face ready to embrace him, one of the other ladies shoved her into the rest of the women. "Like I'm going to stand here and let you take him for you're self!" Arashi stood up with her fists and face burning with rage. "You dare to shove me!?!? I am the lord's daughter! I can choose any man I want, I will have Miroku!" They started to grab each other's hair and faces as they fought one another for their prized Miroku.
Miroku just sat there and stared at the two girls as the began to get rougher and dirtier. "This should be held in front of a crowd of people some day. I'll refer it to Kagome when they've calmed down." The fun ended for him, however, as soon as a spear hit the wall just trimming his hair to the right of his head. "Ok, I think this is getting out of hand." Miroku said as all the women started to do battle with the gaurd's weapons. 'I think it's time for me to make my exit now. He thought to himself. As he was leaving, he found his cloths where set on fire. Most likely from the lord's men. "That's low for a man of his authority. He could spare me my dignity." He left his cloths burning and ran to the barn where Inu-Yasha was still tied up.
Miroku found his barn was nailed shut. "Damn," Miroku thought. "I guess that I'll have to give the lord more credit than he deserved." Miroku used the rings on his staff to pull out as many of the nails he could so that he could easily break in. As the last nail came out, he kicked open the door to find Inu-Yasha in a beaten, ran-down, mess. "Inu-Yasha!" Miroku hurried to his friend to see if he was all right.
"Inu-Yasha, can you hear me?" Miroku held up Inu-Yasha who was completely out of it. "C'mon, Inu-Yasha! Snap out of it!" Miroku slapped him a good five times to try and make his come to his senses. "Oh... It's you." Inu-Yasha layed eyes on Miroku and thanked the heavens he was here. Now he can give him what he's had coming to him for earlier.
Inu-Yasha ripped out of his bindings out of pure rage and gave Miroku the hardest bash in the head as he could ever possibly dish out. "Why the hell did you leave me alone? Those sick, cowards of the lord's beat me down in my sleep!" Miroku really didn't have to explain. "Well, monk. Judging by the way you're dressed and the fact you smell of liquor and women, I must say you where-" Miroku slapped a hand over his mouth before he could finish.
"Quiet! I think there's someone coming." He was right as the only way out was blocked by what was practically an army to Miroku's eyes. To Inu-Yasha, however, all he saw was women in towels and armed with spears and swords. "Damn, Miroku, how the hell you sleep at night?" Miroku smirked at the question. "very comfortably."
Arashi stepped out from the mob and addressed Miroku. "Monk, you have two choices. Either come with us and live, or die." Miroku shook his head. "I guess I have no choice...." A few seconds passed until Miroku turned to face Inu-Yasha.
"Well Inu-Yasha, I truly had fun, but I'm afraid we must part out ways from here on out. Goodbye, my half-breed, half-wit friend." Inu-Yasha fell over at that perverted monk's words. "LIKE HELL, THIS IS GOODBYE!!!" Inu-Yasha was more than fed up as he grabbed Miroku by the knot he tied his towel on and broke through the roof of the barn. The girls could only look straight up at the roof and look under Miroku's towel. They they could only stand there looking up in aww.
(Author's note: DAMN, YOU MIROKU FAN GIRLS ARE KILLING ME!!!! )
Away from the village, Miroku was trembling and rubbing himself trying to keep from freezing in the night. "Yo-you could ha-ave looked in- the vi- village for some sp- spare cloths" Miroku stuttered under the cold night. "Well, if you would keep it in you're pants for one evening, then maybe we wouldn't have this little problem, now would we?" Inu-Yasha took of his fire-rat coat and let Miroku have it for the time being. "I expect it back, washed. Let's try and head back to the village where the bone eater's well is. Maybe Kagome's place might have something for you" Inu-Yasha scolded. Miroku just nodded in agreement as they walked into the deep forest in the middle of the night.
