Lotsa reviews coming in, maybe I can accumulate some groupies? Who knows.



Scroll 2: Miroku cheats



The next morning, Miroku and Inu Yasha were acting ironicly nice toward each other.

"Good morning, Inu Yasha!" Miroku said with a large smile, "Sleep well?"

"I slept just fine!" Innu Yasha said with a large smile. "Thank you for asking."

Sango, Shippou and Kagome watched with sweatdrops.

"This is weird." Sango said.

"They seem to be in a good mood." Shippou said.

Kagome thought so to and she decided that now was the perfect opportunity to announce to Inu Yasha that she was going back to her time. "Inu Yasha?"

"Yes, Kagome?" he asked.

"Um, I have to go back to my time, I need to replenish my stuff and turn in my homework, I'll probably gone for a few days if there is a test."

"WHAT?!" he shouted, "You-!" All of a sudden he felt Miroku's eyes in his back. He could just imagine the monks smile as he waited for him to lose the bet. Inu Yasha straightened up and said. "I mean, go ahead, Kagome. We'll be here when you get back."

Kagome stared at him wide eyed. She put a hand on his forehead, "Maybe I shouldn't go, you seem kind of sick."

He peeled her hand off of his head. "I'm fine!" he said reassuringly.

"Are you sure?" she asked. She pushed a bottle of water into his hand. "Get some rest and drink plenty of liquids anyway, for just in case." And with that she started off for the well. Inu Yasha must've been using every ounce of strength he had to keep his feet right where they were.

Miroku stood beside him, "Sure you don't want to go get her?" he asked.

"I repeat, I'm FINE!" Inu Yasha said with a large fake smile. He looked over at Koaglme as she walked off.

"She's leaving you, probably for a week." Miroku said.

"Feh!" Inu Yasha said.

Then Miroku whispered, "I wonder how many guys are in her time?"

"I don't care!" Inu Yasha said then jumped into the tree.

Miroku turned his head just in time to see Sango bending over. Her butt pointing right at him, practically begging for a good goose. Miroku's hand quivered. It rose. His other hand shot forward and tried to hold it back. Sango stood up straight she looked at him suspiciously. He through both of his hands behind his head and smiled at her. She rolled her eyes and walked off.

Miroku looked up to see Inu Yasha smirking down at him. Miroku kept a straight face, "Start worring," Miroku said. "For Buddha gives me the power to go cold turkey!" "Feh!" Inu Yasha said.

Miroku started to walk off. 'Geeze! That was close!' he thought. 'I don't know how much more of this I can take, and it's only the first day!' Then he had an idea. 'What I need is a little insurance.'



"Shippou!" Kaede called to the foxkid, "Shippou, stop staring at the sun, Honey!"

The boy looked over at her while spots circled his vision. "K!"

He heard a whistle. He looked to his left. Miroku stood a few feet away waving to him. Shippou scampered over.

"Hey, Shippou? Name something you really like!" Miroku said.

Shippou looked upward. "Kagome!"

Miroku smiled at him, "Welll, that's very sweet, Shippou, but I meant something like a toy or-"

"Botan rice candy!" Shippou said. (Hu: I-LOVE-Botan Rice candy!)

"Great!" Miroku said. "If you could do just one thing for me, I'll give you a pound of botan rice candy!"

Shippou drooled.

"You see, I absolutely hate to lose bets, especially ones of important matters such as this one." He explained the bet to Shippou.

"Inu Yasha? NICE??" Shippou smiled in amusement. "What do you want me to do?"

"Just one simple thing." Miroku said. "I want you to annoy Inu Yasha."

Shippou thought about it. Simple? Not at all. But if he did it, not only would it be fun, but there was free candy in the deal. "What if Inu Yasha bops me?" Shippou asked. "He won't bop you!" Miroku said. "Just yelling at you will make him lose the bet, but if he does hit you, I'll throw in some extra candy for your pain."

Shippou acknowledged this and smiled, "Deal!" She shook the priest's hand.

"Now remember, he's as serious about this bet as I am, so it won't be easy!" Miroku said.

"Don't worry! I've been practicing!" Shippou said.
