Chapter Two: The Perverted Monk
A//N: Some of you are probably wondering whom this new character named Amber is, and how she met Inuyasha and Kagome. Well, she was just another enemy of Inuyasha's brother Shesshoumoru, and they joined forces to fight and travel together, eventually becoming friends. Anyways, on with chapter two! (Oh, and by the way the shikon jewel is now in the custody of Amber)
Disclaimer: I only own Amber and Kouji. Rumiko Takahashi owns everyone besides Louis and Lestat; Anne Rice owns them.
The two travelers, Inuyasha and Amber, traveled the entire morning until they reached a village where a friend of Amber's lived. His named was Kouji, and he was an old friend of hers from when she was still a young girl. They hadn't seen each other in years. When Amber came into town, she immediately told Inuyasha that they were going to visit him.
"What? How do you know if he even lives in this town anymore? He could even be dead by now," Inuyasha said, trying to talk her out of it.
"You know, you could hang out at the local hangout, but I guess that you probably don't really want to," Amber suggested.
"Maybe I should go to the old man bar, and stare at the wall and drink sake until you come and get me," said Inuyasha sarcastically.
"Just don't spend all of our money. You can spend some quality time with the local drunks that'll stare at your cute ears!" Amber laughed. Inuyasha got angry when she called his ears cute because he didn't like being teased.
"Shut up! My ears aren't cute!" he said defensively. But Amber only smiled because she had said it to piss him off, and she knew that it would. "So, are you going to go to the old man bar, or are you coming with me?" "I'm going to go and have some sake. Maybe there'll be a man who I can have a conversation with about guy things. "Maybe. Well, I'm going to stop by Kouji's home, and if he's not there, then I'll go and find you," she replied, and then they separated to go mind their own business for a little while.
(Following Inuyasha)
Inuyasha headed towards the local inn, and found that there were quite a few old drunks in there, along with a few younger guys and about five whores working the floors. He sat down, and then one of the younger whores slunk over towards him.
"Hello, stranger," the girl said sweetly, trying to act sexy, "Is there anything that I can get for you this fine afternoon?"
"Just a pitcher of sake will be enough for me, thanks," he replied.
"One pitcher of sake coming right up," she said, and then slunk off towards the bar.
Inuyasha just watched the other people around the inn, and wondered whether or not Amber was going to find her friend. He didn't really care; he just needed time away from anyone that knew him because he needed to sort out stuff in his head about Kagome's death. He was mourning over her, and could hardly believe that she was dead. At one point he thought that he was in love with her, but then he realized that it would never work out between two people from two completely different time periods, and that she just reminded him of his dead lover, Kikyo.
The girl finally came with his sake, and made sure to brush up against him with her breasts after he paid her for the drink. Inuyasha was too preoccupied with thinking about the death of his best friend to care or take any notice of this. Not long afterwards, he began to drink the sake rather slowly. After an hour or so, Amber came in with a look of annoyance on her face.
(Following Amber)
Amber walked down the familiar road to Kouji's house. When she reached the old farmhouse, it looked as though it had been abandoned for a few years. She sighed, then turned around and headed back towards the main part of the village where she had left Inuyasha. As she was walking, she came upon a wandering monk, who carried a staff.
"Good afternoon, Miss," said the monk, putting on a good front.
"Uh, hi," she said, forcing a smile.
"Where be you heading on such a fine afternoon?" he asked her, making her stop in the middle of the small road.
"I'm heading towards the local pub to find my friend that I left behind earlier, if you'll excuse me," she replied.
"Oh, please beautiful woman, would you bare my children? I need to find a wife, and you would be perfect for the part!" he said, kneeling down on one knee, begging her.
"Are you crazy!?" she asked him. "You're not supposed to have sex anyway. You're a monk!"
"So what? Besides, you are too sexy to travel alone, especially in that outfit that you have on," he said because she was wearing a short mini- skirt with a shirt that Kagome gave her.
"I'm not traveling alone. Besides that, I can defend myself against perverted monks like you and from demons and other perverts," she said haughtily.
"Oh yeah? You letting me see up your kimono says you can't," he said, being a perverted monk.
"You're on!"
She powered up her chi, and then threw a ball of energy at him. He dodged it, and it hit the earth, causing a small crater to be created, making the ground shake. He whistled at the size of the hole it created.
"That would've hurt," he commented, and then he attacked her with a magical spell that was similar to her last attack. It missed her, having a similar effect on the earth. He attacked Amber with his staff and she held it off. She had to jump up in the air, and then he ended up seeing up her skirt anyway, so he just laughed.
"What's so funny?" she asked.
"I don't know," he said, then by catching her off guard, kissed her on the cheek.
"Hey!" she exclaimed, and then he gently covered her mouth.
"My name is Miroku, for future reference," he said, and then left her there, stunned.
She turned around and said, "My name is Amber, by the way."
Miroku was gone before he heard her name, so she was a bit annoyed by him. She kept this look on her face until she saw Inuyasha in the pub (or the local inn). She was relieved to see him, and then she told him about her encounter with the perverted monk, Miroku.
"I know Miroku. He's still asking women to bare his children; that doesn't surprise me one bit. He was always trying to watch Kagome bathe."
"Oh well, and my friend's house looks like it has been abandoned for a while, so I didn't see if anyone was home or not," said Amber.
"Anyway, do you want the rest of the sake? I don't really care much for it."
"Oh, I might as well try it," she said, then took a sip out of his cup, and then a look of disgust came across her face. "No wonder you don't like it! I really don't like the taste of alcoholic beverages."
"Hey Baby, how about you come and bring some of that sweetness my way?" one of the customers called to Amber because they thought that she was one of the whores that worked there because of her clothing.
"Leave her alone, she's with me!" Inuyasha said, standing up, causing the place to go quiet.
"Inuyasha, calm down. You don't want to get yourself into trouble," said Amber.
"Hey, wait a minute, you're the half-breed Inuyasha!" said one of the other men.
"Yeah, so what if I am?"
"Inuyasha's the name, and yes I am a half -breed. I get enough of it as it is, so would you just leave us alone?"
"Uh, something tells me that we should probably head out of town about now," said Amber.
"Good idea, lets go before they start something," he agreed, then the left the inn, and headed off for the forest to travel to the next town. Inuyasha didn't smell the vampire anywhere in the village anyway. They decided to camp in the forest that night, but Inuyasha didn't want Amber to sleep by herself because he smelled old death nearby, and he wasn't' sure what it was.
A/N: And now the author asks you what you thought of chapter two of the story. So what did you think? You can tell me in the review or in e-mail. What do you think the smell of old death refers to? What do you think of Amber? So I'll talk to you again in chapter three.
