Night Watch: Break of Day

I do not own Inu-Yasha.
I only rent Miroku.
I have to claim Yagenei
So nobody will sue.

Whish
Plink.
Plat.
Silence.
Whish.
Plink.
Plat.
Ears lifted alertly, I cautiously opened one eye, being unable to identify those noises.
Augghh. The sun keeps coming up earlier every morning. I'm sure of it.
"Inu-Yasha," a whispered voice called.
Whish.
Thwap.
A clawed hand turns over and opens, revealing a tiny pebble.
"What do you want?"
"It's your turn for morning guard."
Groaning, I murmur, "so you had to try and kill me with these pebbles?"
"I would rather not move from where I am right now." I can practically hear the smile in his
voice.
About to give the lecherous monk a piece of my mind, I hop out of the tree. Upon landing on the
soft soil, I turn towards him. Eyes wide in surprise, I stare before asking, "how long has this
been going on?"
"I'm sure I don't know what you mean." He said with most certainly feigned wide-eyed innocence.
"Sango was cold, so I offered to share my blanket with her."
"Feh. Right. And she still shared with you after she beat you up with Hiraikotsu?"
His innocent expression still plastered onto his face. "She didn't hit me once."
"Eh?"
But-but...Kagome can't have been right...could she?

"Say, Inuyasha. This is what I think though."
"Hm?"
Kagome is smiling, her hands pressed together. "Sango-chan is in love with Miroku-sama, isn't she?
Surprised, I ask, "Huh? Whadda ya mean?"
"Meaning, you didn't notice?"
"Eh..."
Shippo admits, "I had this vague feeling."
"But, Sango gets angry when Miroku caresses her bottom."
"Hey, a girl is someone who values the mood."

"If you through with your interrogation, I'd like to get a little bit of sleep."
I was about to grudgingly let him sleep when a familiar, tinny scent breaks me from my reverie.
I smell blood. A relatively fresh kill, I suppose, because the blood doesn't smell stale. "Miroku.
Stay awake for a little while longer. I have something to check."
The kill was clean and quick. What blood that was there has seeped into the soil, nearly invisable to
human eyes, but unmistakeable to my demon senses.
The animal, a rabbit apparently from its tracks, was cleaned till nothing remained but fur and bone,
which were set in a neat pile in the nearby bushes to cover its tracks.
Whatever made this kill, made it very neat. I'd almost say it's cleaner than one of Sesshoumaru's
kills.
Something, someone has been here alright. Just outside the range of my senses and downwind from
the camp.
It may still be near.
The forest is far from quiet for this time of day, but something still is not setting well. The sun,
starting to loom above the horizon an the morning birds beginning to chirp.
Ears perked, I start to scan the trees in all directions, sniffing for a suspicious demon scent.
Nothing there....
Or there...
Or....A chill runs straight down my spine.
No scent. No sound. No tracks.
Just a pocket of cold air.
Spinning on the balls of my feet, I hasten back to camp, bounding through the trees.
Breaking out of the brush, I reach camp.
"What was it?" Miroku asked.
Somewhat breathlessly I answered, "get everyone up and packed. We're moving out."
*************************************************************************************************
Rants and Randomness:
1) In many stories and seemingly in Takahashi's version, Inu-Yasha is loyal and protective...but not
the brightest bulb in the set. I'd like to believe that he is a bit smarter than Ranma, mostly because
he was able to survive his time before Kikyo and Kagome, before he was exceedingly loyal and protective.
My version of Inu-Yasha will probably resemble Tailweaver's version (http://www.tailweaver.faithweb.com/
look for the White Dog). Go read it this summer if you haven't already. It's wonderful!
2) I made Miroku be sort of polite in this chapter. Bear in mind, when he first appears he does act
very polite to cover up his delinquency. He's keeping something from Inu-Yasha here.
3) Please Review this story. All of my reviews so far are for one writing style and I'm experimenting
with a new one, so I'd like some feedback to know where changes need to be made.
4) This chapter is frought to you by the letter "A" and the number "3".
5) This chapter is dedicated to the Schnee and the rest of the Union Crew. Have a great summer, minna!
No more dorm food! Now we can all lose weight! ^__^
