Well here's Chapter 3, where it'll get... really emotional and drama-like. This is the hardest Chapter I've done so far, so I'm thanking a whole lot of you for supporting me in my writing...So here it goes! Shania Twain, singing from "When You Kiss Me", has lyrics in this that were borrowed for the moment.

Chapter Three- The Battle For The Jewel Shard!

The two lied on the grass, beside each other, head to head, only on opposite sides. It's only been a few days, since the two had met. Miroku took the time to take off from finding jewel shards, to spend it all with her until they parted. Kanisha glanced up at the sky, ears twitching. She glanced at her ears and sighed in frustration. Miroku, opened his eyes, and raised himself up, to look at the young demon. "Are you alright?" He asked, voice in a slight whisper. Kanisha tilted her head slightly to glance at the monk and nodded. "I'm fine... its just..these ears are so annoying... I wish I was human like you, at least you have it easy on you." Miroku glanced at his right hand silently, shook his head, and glanced at Kanisha, forcing a weak smile. "Maybe if you think about it, I guess you could say my life is a little more easier than yours... I wish I could help you although with that problem." Her eyes softened, and closed slightly, listening to his deep voice. She then added something silently, that caught Miroku's attention. "Unless you've heard of the Shikon Jewel... I cannot be helped or bothered by anyone in my way..." He felt as if she could easily predict that he possessed one, but then he felt those rays again.
Could it be that she has a jewel shard in her body? He carefully glanced at her body, hoping not to get caught by her eyes. He then targeted the jewel shard... If was located inside her heart. He let a weak frown. "How can this be...?" He thought to himself. His eyes closed, picturing the shard in his mind, just trapped into her heart. What if Inu Yasha realized it, and killed her for it? She was a peaceful person; she had a dream that Inu Yasha once had, to become full mortal... Miroku's eyes weakened, as the guilt within him increased. He had planned to steal the Shikon Jewel once it had become full from Kagome, to use it on his own to gain revenge and destroy Naraku once and for all. Only... when he looked at Kanisha, he couldn't keep his eyes off her. She was so beautiful; he couldn't get that out of his head. With her wanting to be human, it only hurt him to think of what could happen if he made a huge sacrifice onto her. Then it settled in his mind. Why not have a battle for the shard?
"Kanisha... I'd like to challenge you to a fight for that jewel shard, resting in your heart..." He said silently, eyes closed, pulling himself up with his staff. Kanisha blinked and glanced at him curiously and nodded, ears twitching. "Sure... Seems fair, since you have shards, yourself." She let a simple smirk appear on her face, as Miroku's eyes opened, biting his bottom lip nervously, sweating slightly on his forehead. He then nodded, and held his left hand out to shake hers. She glanced at his hand nervously, and held hers out, until both were joined together in a shake. The battle was on, only, how bad would it become? Miroku looked slightly into Kanisha's eyes, there was a blush in her cheek. It was a strong grudge for him too, on how hard it'd be to battle her. Then Kanisha slowly looked into Miroku's eyes. They were so deep and warm, full of friendship and trust. Her crush on him was too simple, but fighting him was going to be the hardest thing to do in her life.


"You are the one...
I think I'm in love.
Life has begun...
I can see the two of us together,
I know I'm gonna be with you forever.
Love couldn't be any better..."


The two then suddenly met their eyes. The silence between them both was strong. "What's was going to possibly happen now?" Kanisha's heart was beating, her eyes were slightly watered nervous as ever. Miroku slowly leaned his head over towards her, and placed a kiss onto her lips. Kanisha felt like the world was pushed away, where it was only the two of them. Her face filled with a crimson red, in shock. She then closed her eyes slightly, and returned the kiss, giving Miroku the exact same feeling. How strong love can be... Tomorrow was going to be a long day for them both.


"The world just goes away...
When you kiss me..."
