A/n Thanks for all the reviews guys! It really helps me to know if you like
my story or not. Before we get the story started I have a bit to say,
Satine89- Heh, in my stories violence is heavy. I can try to warn you if anything too messy is coming up. I did say before that this was a horror story. Besides, I believe that violence gives a story color and gives the villain a worse name then if you just said they killed someone. Gomen if the story gets too violent for your liking!
Des- Very sorry but I already have Kag down with an important part! I can try and give her a less so important part in my next story but I am kinda a fan of Inu/Kag pairing.if it fits you better I can write a San/Miro next time. I can even get started on it right now.sorry again! Um, I don't think I'll be including any in this fic!
Jade Pheonix- I do my best to fill your requests! Here's the next chappy!
And to my other reviewers who did not ask questions or make a comment I could reply to, thanks! I didn't expect this fic to do this well! Remember, if you review then I know you like this story, the more I know you like the story the faster I want to get chapters out! Enjoy chapter two!
Dedicated to my good friend who recently had a birthday, May 14th I believe? Well Happy Birthday, again, if you're reading! I hope you like this present!

Malistor Monks Chapter two, Friend or Foe?
Inuyasha and Miroku stood staring at the old man, their hearts pounding in their ears and the last warning echoing through their heads. Their breathing quickened as footsteps were heard in the distance, drawing nearer by the second.
"They're coming! Go!" Oshou-sama whispered hurriedly through the bars to his cell. Inuyasha felt cold sweat build up on his forehead as the people drew closer and the rhythmic click clacking of their shoes on the tile floor rang through the hallway. Miroku was still as pale as a ghost in the morning light and was currently trying to get his feet to move. Suddenly everything happened in slow motion. The group of Monks came around the bend and spotted the two intruders, Inuyasha and Miroku turned their heads and gulped loudly, then the Monks began the chase. Inuyasha grabbed Miroku by the robes and dragged him through the halls and to the exit, racing as fast as his hanyou powers allowed him. Sliding on the smooth tiles he turned a corner and took a peek behind him to see the Monks running at an equally amazing speed and even beginning chants. Inuyasha paled to match Miroku and put everything he had into his already draining activity.
Inuyasha stopped at the exit and quickly examined the wall. His eyes searched desperately over the solid painted stones. Miroku managed to choke out a strange word and the door swung open. Inuyasha looked at the Monk for a second before starting his desperate attempt to get out of the Monastery alive. They bolted down the hallway with the group of Monks close behind and turned a corner to face the large beautifully decorated front doors. All the other Monks stopped their business to watch the chase.
"Open the doors idiots!" Inuyasha yelled through clenched teeth as he charged across the room. The gate- keepers quickly yanked open the doors just before Inuyasha collided with the solid wooden surface. Some Monks yelled at the two charging people but the only sounds they heard were the muffled cries of people amid the blood pounding in their ears. Their lungs burned from the stress on them but they pressed on anyway. Though the only sound in the cool night air was the crunching of rocks beneath their feet they continued running.
After many hours of non-stop running the two boys finally stopped to rest. Inuyasha looked around for the first time in awe.
"No more tile or cement everywhere! So many trees and green hills! There is even new sounds too!" Inuyasha exclaimed turning his dog -ears every which way to listen to the animals and night sounds. Miroku just groaned from his position on the ground.
"Mister smart guy, what are we going to do about shelter for the night? We've worn ourselves useless with all the running we've done!" Miroku grumbled rubbing his sore legs. Inuyasha snorted at his pitiful figure though he had to admit, Miroku was right.
"Well this sign here says there's a town not too far ahead." Inuyasha suggested walking over to the fork in the road where there was a sign. Miroku just groaned as he picked himself up again.
"I'm afraid I can't walk any more friend." Miroku stated flailing his arms then falling back down. Inuyasha muttered something dark under his breath and walked over to his friend.
"Get on my back then and I'll carry you." Inuyasha mumbled and bent down so the Monk could get up.
"I believe that 18 years of Buddhism has really been very good for you. It teaches kindness and respect." Miroku began climbing on the hanyou's back.
"Don't start that Miroku, I'm just doing this because you helped me escape earlier." Inuyasha warned standing up again. He began walking at a fair pace down the road. "What should we do about the Father thing now that we're out of that place?" Inuyasha asked solemnly.
"I don't think we can stop them by ourselves. We need to get the facilities to help us. There should be a police station at the town ahead." Miroku stated in a tired voice. "You.don't.mind if.I sleep, right.Inuyasha?" Miroku asked before nodding off.
"Oh great. What good will a sleeping Monk do me?" Inuyasha asked to no one in particular. Suddenly he stopped and his ears twitched upon his head. "I may not be familiar with the outside world but I don't think that there is naturally screaming in the night." Inuyasha raced off towards the sound.
He came to the source and quickly hid behind a bush making sure that Miroku was unable to be seen as well. When he peeked through the foliage he managed to spot three figures. Two bandits were bullying a small kitsune youkai child. The boy screamed again as one bandit hurled him up high in the air and just barely caught him.
"Please stop! I promise I don't have any money or things except the cloths on my back!" He yelled piteously. The bandits just laughed evilly and continued to scare the poor kid to death. Inuyasha growled low in his throat. They couldn't just do that to a kid! Finally when Inuyasha had had enough, he leapt out at the bandits.
"You must be pretty pathetic to go after kids! Let's see you when you pick on someone your own size!!!" Inuyasha yelled slicing one bandit in the stomach. The other bandit took out a dagger and leapt upon Miroku who was still asleep. Inuyasha spun around and caught the man's arm and pushing himself forward with his rear foot, he countered with a powerful punch to the head. Sensing the man behind him begin to stir, Inuyasha kicked backwards and was rewarded with a sickening thud. Instead of bringing the leg back he swung it sideways, smashing into the man in front of him. Inuyasha let the man fall to the ground and pulled Miroku into a better position.
"Stupid lazy monk, can sleep through anything." Inuyasha mumbled then turned to the kitsune. "What are you doing messing with these stupid people kid? Shouldn't you be at home?" Inuyasha asked with a bit of concern in his voice.
"Y-you defeated them?! All of them?!" He asked in a small, astonished voice.
"No duh. What does it look like small fry?" Inuyasha asked back. He was starting to get annoyed with these people not expecting enough from him.
"Oh, I'm Shippo. I come from the village ahead. The bandits kidnapped me and were trying to steal what I had but I don't have anything. So now I want to go back home, can you take me home mister?" Shippo said with tears beginning to form in his eyes.
"Sure whatever kid. Just don't bother me or I'll kill you, and don't freak the monk out or he'll kill you." Inuyasha stated and began to walk to the town. The little boy scampered over to him and bombarded him with questions.
"Where'd you come from? How'd you get here? Are you just a wandering hero like in my book? Is the monk dead? What happened to him? Why is your face turning all red huh huh?" Shippo asked. He was rewarded with a punch to the head.
"Why'd you do that?" Shippo asked clutching his head with little tear streams running down his cheek. "If you answer my questions I can show you a place we can stay!" Shippo said as the bump suddenly disappeared. Inuyasha looked at him questioningly.
"Ok but it's a long story." Inuyasha told the tale as they walked to the town, Miroku sleeping through it as if he were back at the Monastery in his bed. Shippo would gasp at parts or giggle or yell angrily. Inuyasha just held back a smile at the kid's show and continued on until he reached the part when they met.
".so that's how it happened." Inuyasha finished with a shrug as they entered the town. Inuyasha looked around in amazement. Beautiful statues and fountains dotted the place and great stone arches surrounded the entrance. Cute little brown cottages lined the area and a gray-stone walkway connected them. Shippo just looked proudly up at Inuyasha as the hanyou's eyes flickered from site to site.
"Where's the place kid?" Inuyasha asked trying to keep the awe from filling his voice.
"Over here." Shippo whispered tugging on Inuyasha's overly large hoari sleeve. He led him to a small cottage that looked broken down. Inuyasha looked angrily down at Shippo but Shippo just told him that looks could be deceiving. They entered the place and Inuyasha's doubts grew larger at the sight of the breaking house.
"Shippo I don't think this is a very good resting spot." Inuyasha commented trying to sound calm.
"That's because you haven't seen it yet." Shippo said mysteriously as he opened a trap door in the ground. He led the Monks down into the darkness and shut the door behind them. The air was damp and smelt of soil and the wooden stairs groaned in protest at their added weight. Shippo reached up and yanked a little cord and a bright light streamed throughout the room. The walls were just made out of dirt as was the floor but the little house was well furnished with couches, chairs, cabinets, pot-bellied stoves, and the works. Shippo looked happily up at Inuyasha who was amazed that the kid really stayed true to his word.
"I wouldn't let you down would I?" Shippo asked with a big smirk on his face. Inuyasha just gave him the don't'-start-it look and Shippo immediately shut up. Inuyasha set Miroku on a couch and took a seat against a wall. Shippo hopped over and sat in front of him.
"You're going to sleep like that?" Shippo asked in a cute little kid voice. Inuyasha just smirked.
"Yeah." He said carelessly as he shut his eyes, a wave of exhaustion washed over him and he just wanted to get some sleep (*yawn* oops sorry!). Shippo looked at him like he was crazy.
"We have all these couches and chairs and all you want to do is sleep against a wall?" Shippo asked putting his tiny hands on his hips.
"Yep, a safe indoor wall." Inuyasha mumbled almost asleep. Shippo shook his head as the hanyou's breathing became even and his muscles became more relaxed. "All grown-ups ever want to do at night is sleep! They're no fun at all!" Shippo muttered to himself. He bound off into another room after shutting off the light.
Inuyasha was roused from his peaceful dreams by an extra weight on his chest. His eyes snapped open but didn't do him much good, as it was still dark. A person was sitting on his chest with a knife at his throat. The person wasn't heavy but Inuyasha was so startled that he couldn't throw the person off. The cold hard metal bit into his flesh but he held back a wince of pain. How could he have been so stupid as to listening to a fox brat? Inuyasha growled from deep in his throat and glared up at where the outline of the person's face was. Sleep was still in his eyes so he couldn't quite make out the full features.
"Tell me who you are, what you are doing here, and maybe I might let you live."
