Part Three: The Sun that Sets
_____________________
The weather has cleared to another wonderful day and I am glad it has not rained for a while, people seem to think there is something strange about my presence when it does rain. I can not help but think of my life when it is so quiet and peaceful. I find myself doing so today even if its sunny out. I am loathe to think rain is approaching soon, sometimes it is this way when evil is afoot. I wonder what Kagome's era is like? Pretty girls, nicer weather, not much violence, better means of making money. I know of only one way here for myself, so in her world it might be better to make an honest monk out of me. Perhaps they are more strict on religion there. Maybe I could be a vendor of some sort. Perhaps one of those psycics who exorcise evil like I do now. "Kagome, tell me what in your world a man like me could do for work?"I ask her. She looks at me as if I have gone mad then she kindly replies,"Miroku, why I believe you could continue to be a monk but its pretty strict so you can't ask women to bearyour child or steal from people." "Steal Kagome?"I asked puzzled. "Oh yeah thats right well you can't accept rewards!"She exclaimed on the verge of laughing. "You would be worthless like you are now,"Inuyasha said comming up behind me. "Tell me Kagome what could Inuyasha do?"I asked her. Kagome looked stupified while Inuyasha eagerly awaited to hear. "Well out with it Kagome."Inuyasha said impatiently as usual. "Well uh hmmm I guess... no.... uh well yeah I suppose you could... wait no..."she stammered. I laughed on the inside. Who was worthless now Inuyasha?
After we settled in for the night the weather became more cool and I noticed clouds were rolling in. I had not seen Sango all day and when she did come back she ate and went straight to sleep. I imagine of all things it is her brother's loss that is getting to her. It must be Kagome's mentioning of her brother that makes her feel this way and each time Kagome feels bad. They should not feel bad. There was nothing Sango could do to save him. So now she is fighting to save him from the clutches of Naraku. I lie my head down and stare into the night sky, hopefully we won't get rained on.
The group has awakened screaming. Its pouring rain and of course Inuyasha has found cover and not bothered to help the rest of us. Kagome is yelling,"Sit boy, sit sit sit sit sit!!!!!!!" She is frustrated that he would leave us in the rain. Poor guy though to have to go through with that but then again he could take it. He is a half demon after all. After a quick breakfast we decide to set out for a village, luckily Kagome has brought umbrellas from her era. She knew we should be prepared. Sango looks pale and sad. "Sango are you alright?"I ask. She sneezes. "I see."I say. "Perhaps we can move quicker lady Sango is ill."I tell them. "Oh Miroku no need to worry about me I just sneezed."She tells us. "You look pale Sango are you have a fever."Kagome says feeling Sango's forehead. "Damn, its just going to slow us down, what the hell have you been doing?"Inuyasha asked angrily. "Oh shut up we can't all be like you Inuyasha."Sango countered,"Besides its not your business." "Like hell it is, we are traveling to find shards and you're apart of this group. Getting sick prevents us from our travels."Inuyasha yelled. "Well fine go on without me you insensitive JERK!!!!"Sango screamed. Inuyasha just shut up and Kagome looked surprised. I on the other hand was worried. We fought like this but never had it gone this far. "We should mind our tongues and make it to the village in quiet."I piped in. Everyone was silent.
When we reached the village I immediately looked for a place to stay. Of course I found a small temple and went to find the owner. He of course let us stay and for free with food included, you see there was an ominous black cloud that was not rain clouds looming over them with an enormous amout of evil energy. The owner had said some strange things were happening that villagers were missing. I had to tell Inuyasha but by the time I had found him we were both face to face with a giant demon ox. Kagome had sensed a shard there and told us it was in his chest. Inuyasha unsheathed his great sword and easily defeated him. I had sucked up the remains with my wind tunnel. The shard was recovered.
We had a feast that night and Sango was too sick to join us so I went to her with some food. She was greatful and I promised to let her rest. She was thankful. We sat in silence and then she fell asleep. I stayed with her and kept watch all night. By morning her fever broke and she was better. Kagome had treated her well. She decided to bathe so I left her to do so, I am glad she is okay. We need her. We all joined up for breakfast before we decided to head out again. The rain was still comming down so we thought it would be good to stay until lunch by then it will be okay and the rain would pass.
After lunch we all felt wonderful and content. Even the sky had blessed us and we were ready to set off. Before I went I decided to pay my respects to the village while the others gathered their things. I sat in astonishment at the village and the sheer happiness that radiated after the demon was defeated. The missing people would forever be missed and not forgotten. It reminded me of all the deceased we had buried along the way. It made me even remember a time of happiness and my parents. I miss them so much. I wonder if they are happy now? Are they together? What will happen to me, will I suffer the same fate as my father and grandfather? It is time to go so I leave them all with a prayer for happiness to them all and peace, as much as they can have.
I met the group on the edge of the village. "Hey Miroku where did you get all that stuff?" Kagome asked me. "Yeah monk, who did you bamboozle this time?" Inuyasha asked in his usual manner. "I am sure I don't know what you mean Inuyasha,"I told him. This time Shippo spoke,"It's fairly obvious." "Yes I agree with Shippo,"Sango said. "Yeah well you better return it."Kagome said looking behind us. "Yeah idiot, can't you see the villagers forming a mob."Inuyasha grunted. "I believe its time to leave."I told them making the horse hooked to my cart trot faster. "We can sell this off in the next town." "Hey get back here monk, where do you think you're going, you better not leave us."Inuyasha yelled. The group ran in my wake. The villagers were chasing them screaming,"Get back here with our stuff!"
