The Motherhood Trials!

Chapter: 4

Miroku under goes some changes!

Miroku kept thinking of his strange dream last night. He remembers the spite full voice, which sounded as if it had belonged to a woman but he wasn't sure. He recalled the words, which it had said to him 'Now it begins', and those words were forever etched in his mind as he was walking though the village. He still couldn't figure out what it meant. What would begin? It was so weird! He wouldn't have cared so much for the dream if he weren't a monk also that dream felt so real. He could still feel the agonizing pain in his stomach, which he had felt when he was dreaming. He walked a little further through the village until he came to a clearing of trees. He sat down on the smooth grass and began to ponder the recent events that had happened lately like with Shippo…. Why did he care so much when Inuyasha had hit him? He was so used to there little routine, every time Shippo did something that made Inuyasha angry he would get hit on the head and he didn't care so much when Inuyasha would do that to Shippo so why did he care then…it didn't make sense! His thoughts were interrupted when he heard Sango's voice.

" Miroku…" he turned his head to look at her she was in her usual kimono and usual hairstyle, she sat down next to him and began staring up at the beautiful cloudy blue sky. Miroku softly smiled at her making her blush a little.

"So what has bought you out so early."

"I was just wondering…" he began to get curious as to what she was thinking about and not wanting to think about his own problems made him, wonder even more.

" About what?"

" Well I…am…really worried."

" What's wrong? What are you worried about?"

" About…. You." she was worried about him…. However, why? There was nothing to worry about. Well he had been acting weird all day, avoiding everyone and not to mention what happened yesterday with Shippo.

" I'm sorry if I did something to worry you…. I just have had a lot on my mind lately." Miroku took a beep breath.

Mean while Sango and Miroku were UN aware that just behind some bushes they were being watched buys a sneaky Kagome and Inuyasha. They sat side by side as quiet as they could not to alarm them of their presence but still quietly talked to each other.

" I love watching this stuff…. I can't wait to see how this turns out." Kagome whispered as softly as she could so that only Inuyasha could hear her.

"Keh… it wont be a pretty sight." Inuyasha whispered back. Kagome looked away from Sango and Miroku to look at Inuyasha.

" What do you mean?" not taking his eye's away from the happy couple he answered her question.

" That stupid letch is going to get knocked out for putting his hands were the don't belong."

" What do you mean he hasn't even gotten his hands close enough to do anything."

" Keh…. Whatever!"

Sango put her hand on Miroku's shoulder. Kagome began to smile.

" I know there's something wrong with you… so tell me what's wrong." He smiled at her once more.

" There's nothing wrong with me, my dear Sango… I just didn't get enough sleep last night." Sango accepted his answer although she knew he wasn't telling her the truth.

Miroku stood from the ground, wiped the grass from his clothes, and reached for Sango's hand to help her up.

" Come on lets go back to Lady Keade's"

Inuyasha began to laugh.

" Ha I told you! Now watch he's going in for the kill."

Sango smiled at him as she pushed his hand a side and got up her self. Then they both walked to Keade's.

Kagome smiled

" No he's not! See I told you he wouldn't ruin it, he was just trying to help her up." Inuyasha growled at her.

" Keh!!! Whatever! Let's go! There's nothing more to see!" not wanting to get in another hopeless argument with him, she decided to agree and the both left to the hut.

Miroku knew perfectly well why she rejected his help, she probably was afraid he would do something perverted if she were to take his hand. So he didn't say anything since he understood where she was coming from *I was pretty perverted towards her almost everyday. * He was beginning to feel bad for being like that to her. He stopped a few feet ahead of Sango, staring at the ground debating with him self whether or not he should apologize. She seemed worried enough about him so that meant she cared at least, so he owed it to her to try and say sorry.

" Sango…. I need to tell you something of great importance!"

" Yes Miroku." she said with great worry in her eyes.

" I must tell you that I'm sorry for groping you all time, you deserve better than that so like I said I'm sorry, Dear Sango." he smiled at her and then walked away toward the hut. He had left her in such shock she couldn't even bring herself to stop him from leaving. When the shock kind of wore off, she began to ponder what just happened, but couldn't come to any conclusions. She decided to talk to Kagome about it, to see what she would have to say on it.

"Kirara." she screamed for the fire cat as loud as she could and in a matter of second was picking up from the ground.

" Let's go to Kagome." Kirara smelled for Kagome's sent once she had found it; she began taking off in her direction. A few minutes passed and she had made it to Kagome. Kagome was sitting with Inuyasha making lunch for everyone. Sango entered their camping ground and ran over to Kagome to whisper in her ear, so that Inuyasha couldn't hear what she was asking Kagome.

" Kagome I need to talk to you in private." Kagome nodded and whispered back.

" Lets go to the hot springs where no can here okay." she was pretty sure it had something to do with Miroku and new that if they talked there Inuyasha could pick up what they were saying and she didn't want Sango to be embarrassed. Inuyasha saw them quietly whispering to each other and began to get rather paranoid that they were talking about him.

" What hell are you two talking about?" Kagome shot Inuyasha a murderous stare.

" It's none of your concern."

" Like hell it isn't! You better tell me what your talking about or I'll…"

" Your you'll what…"

" I will have to take the matter into my own hands and your not going to like what I will do!"

" I liked to see you try." Sango cut in on them trying to stop them from fighting.

" Were not talking about you Inuyasha. It's about Miroku, I'm worried about him." Once Inuyasha had learned that they weren't talking about him, he tried to become more helpful.

" What in hell did he do now?"

" Nothing bad, he just isn't acting like his usual self." When Kagome had learned that she was right, that they were indeed talking about Miroku came up with a good idea.

" I have an idea! Me and Sango will go to the hot springs and you Inuyasha can have talk with him and find out his problem." she them clapped her hands together. " Its perfect don't you think?" Inuyasha growled at her again.

" I refuse!" Kagome's cheerful smile turned upside down and she began to cry.

" You never like any of my idea's. You make me feel so useless." tears poured down her cheeks making Inuyasha shocked.

" Are you crying?"

" Yes and why wouldn't I be you never take anything I say seriously." Inuyasha became sadden at her words just as Kagome had planned.

" I…I… take every thing you say seriously Kagome…please stop crying." she began sniffling a bit before looking him straight in the eye's.

" Dose that mean you will do my plan and talk to Miroku." Inuyasha *sighed he didn't want her to be sad anymore and if that meant talking to Miroku then he would have to do it,

" Fine whatever." she quit the crying act because she had gotten what she wanted and that meant all was right in the world.

" Thank you Inuyasha." She felt sort of bad about guilt in him into doing what she wanted but she had to, he wouldn't have helped other wise. She would just have to pay him back later. Sango and Kagome left for the hot springs just as Miroku Entered the camp.

Inuyasha readied himself for his long talk (that he promised Kagome) to Miroku. Miroku sat down by the fire and began looking around for the one's who were missing. He could see Shippo lying down near the fire fast a sleep but he couldn't find Sango and Kagome.

" Inuyasha… where'd everyone go!"

" There at the Hot Springs." Inuyasha then became all protective like. " And don't you dare go and try and peep other wise I will kill you." Miroku looked as though Inuyasha had offended him.

" Don't look at me like that you letch you know damn well as I do that you were thinking about it." Miroku held his stomach as he answered Inuyasha.

" I don't know what you're talking about… I wasn't thinking about anything, I was merely wondering were every one was." Inuyasha noticed that he was holding his stomach and that Miroku had put on a few pounds.

" What's the matter monk did you put on some weight." Miroku gave him a death stare as he went back to holding and rubbing his stomach. Then the strangest thing happened he began to talk to it.

" Don't worry sweetie he didn't mean it!" and then he patted it. Inuyasha was terrified at this moment. Never before has he seen him do something that strange before. He began to become as worried as Sango had been she was right he defiantly wasn't acting like himself.

" Miroku what is wrong. With you you're not acting right."

Miroku soon realized that he had not been himself for the third time.

Miyuu: pulls fluffy's tail, and then begins to stroke it once again "I saw that fluffy" grins "you're just lucky that you, agreed I am evil"

Sesshoumaru: Stiffened when his tail was pulled and then even more when she began petting him again. (I said I was evil and agreed you were mentally unstable.) "Sighs" and then began to get closer to Miyuu when he sensed his brothers presence. He did not want him to be found out before he could be saved!

Miyuu: sighs continently "I knew you would come around Sesshy!"

Meanwhile Inuyasha began sneaking around the outside of their camp, trying to find a way to rescue his brother, even though he did not want to admit it even he could leave his brother in the hands of that deranged wench!

Miyuu: smiles evilly, turns and throw leash over Inuyasha's head and ties it to self "Did you think that I wouldn't notice you stalking around out there Inuyasha sweetie, now you will never get away from me again hahahahah"

Inuyasha: sighs sadly "So much for Kagome's plan" he whispered

Sesshoumaru: growls "I'm never going to get away from her, Damn you Inuyasha you were my last hope!"

Inuyasha: "If you had run when you had the chance none of us would be stuck here with this insane mental case!"

Miyuu: pulls both leashes hard causing them both to choke "Now is that anyway to speak to your mistress, huh? Now you two be good or I'll" grins evilly "Or I'll have to dunk your heads under water till you agree to shut up!"

Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha: Gulps and agrees to be quiet for the time being
