Chapter 2

A small smile came to Nayamashii's face. "So, you do remember me, Miroku- san. I was beginning to wonder for a moment, I certainly haven't forgotten you these past five years. How have you been?"

Miroku gave her a cold stare. "Don't talk to me as if we're friends, I still hate you for what you did to me all those years ago. You're a complete dirty whore, I hate you."

"My my, what naughty language we have. You shouldn't be so sore about this Miroku-san, it happened a long time ago. Why don't you forgive and forget?" Nayamashii moved closer to Miroku, so close that she was right in his face.

"Get the hell away from me!" Miroku pushed her aside and walked towards the direction the others had gone.

"Wait a minute, don't go. Let's talk for a while, we have so much to catch up on."

"Just shut up! I have nothing to say to you, leave me alone. I want nothing to do with you." Miroku turned back around and headed towards his friends.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you do that Miroku." She walked up to Miroku and put her arms around his neck. "Come on, let's catch up on old times. What do you say?"

"Get your arms off of me right now!"

"Huh?" Sango stopped for a moment and turned around. "I could have sworn I heard Miroku's voice. 'Hey, wait a minute; he's not here with us.' "Hey guys! Wait up a moment!"

Inuyasha turned around and looked at her with an annoyed expression on his face. "What is it Sango?"

"Miroku-sama, he's not here with us. I hadn't noticed, but we lost him back a ways, I think."

"Damn, alright then. Lets backtrack our steps. Come on Kagome, Shippo we're heading back."

It was Kagome's turn to be annoyed. "Back? Why?"

"We lost the monk, he got separated from us. We need to go find him, that idiot is off in his own world and is going to get himself in trouble if we don't go and retrieve him."

"Alright, lets go find our lost monk then."

The gang did a 180 and walked around looking for Miroku. They didn't have to go too far when, Inuyasha spotted him out of the corner of his eye with a female clinging unto him.

"Hey, guys, I think I found our missing monk." Inuyasha pointed over to Miroku with Nayamashii still clinging to the back of his neck.

"Nayamashii, I mean it, get off of me right now! I have to get back to my friends, so let go of me this instant."

She broke her grasp around the monk's neck and stood there pouting. "You're no fun anymore, Miroku-san."

Miroku gritted his teeth at the particular comment. "Glad to hear it, now if you excuse me." Miroku was cut short when he heard a familiar voice yelling at him.

"Miroku-sama! Where in the hell have you been!? We were wondering what happened to you. Were you flirting with another woman, again?

"No, Sango, I wasn't."

"Then who's this?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and took Kagome by the hand. "Let's go, this ones going to take a while. Miroku is really in for it."

Kagome nodded. "Ya, I think you're definitely right." The three of them walked off leaving Sango and Miroku to argue with each other.

"Sango, she's nobody. She's an old." Miroku struggled for the right words. "She's an old acquaintance, nothing more." Miroku looked over at Nayamashii with a disgusted look on his face.

"I don't believe you, Miroku-sama. How do I know you weren't asking her to bear your child?"

Nayamashii smiled. "He didn't, you don't have anything to worry about. It's as Miroku-san says, we're just old friends."

"I see, fine then." 'By the way Miroku-sama is acting around her, he certainly doesn't consider her a friend. What could be going on here?'

Miroku let out a long sigh. "Well, now that this is settled lets go."

"Wait a minute, Miroku-sama. What about your friend?"

Miroku cringed at the word friend. "What about her?"

'What about her? Miroku has never been this cold to a woman before.' "What do you mean what about her? She's your friend; lets let her enjoy our company for the night. What do you say?"

"I rather not, thank you."

'What the hell is up with him? I would think he'd be happy to have his friend stay with us for the night. What kind of relationship are the two of them in with each other?' "That's nonsense Miroku, she's staying with us for the night."

Nayamashii had an evil grin on her face. "Thank you, you're too kind."

"It's not a problem, any friend of Miroku's is a friend of ours."

"Sango please, don't do this."

"You're being silly Miroku-sama, she's staying." 'That way maybe I'll get some answers.'

"Fine, she can stay."

"Oh thank you, Miroku-san." Nayamashii gave him a big hug.

Sango stood there just about ready to pop a vain. 'Why that little bitch, there has to be something more between them. Miroku better not hug her back, or I'll be really pissed.'

Miroku removed her arms from him and put them to her side. "Please, don't do that again, I mean it." Miroku turned to Sango and smiled. "Shall we go?"

Sango could only nod her head; she was in shock for a brief moment. 'Ok. Now I know something isn't right here. Since when does Miroku not want to hug an attractive woman? This is just freaky.' "Yeah, lets get going."

As they walked each of them seemed to have something on their minds. Miroku had to constantly tell Nayamashii to stop clinging on to him and Sango had to suppress her anger, not to kill Nayamashii.

Sango stood and watched as Nayamashii hung all over, Miroku-sama. She could feel a vein popping out of her head. 'Who does that bitch think she is? I can't believe she's not getting the message that Miroku-sama doesn't like her. Is this how Kagome feels when Kouga is always hitting on her? Now, I regret ever asking her to come along with us.'

Miroku was getting totally frustrated by Nayamashii's stupid actions, and was looking ghostly pale. 'Stupid Nayamashii, I hate the bitch. Why did Sango have to invite her to join us for the evening? This is going to be awful, I think I'm going to be sick.'

Nayamashii had a huge grin on her face, she enjoyed pissing Sango off, and it satisfied her to know how angry and jealous she was making her. 'This is so fun making the two of them so angry. Who knows what sort of fun we could have tonight?' An evil smirk appeared on her face. She began to nuzzle her face into Miroku's chest. 'Now how will he react, I wonder?'

Miroku came to an abrupt stop. He was obviously very agitated. "That's it, I've had enough of you. You don't have my permission to do things like that to me. You can't touch me, and you can't get close to me. Got it!?"

"Feh, that doesn't sound like the Miroku I know. Since when do you not enjoy women draping themselves all over you?"

"Shut up Inuyasha, this isn't the time! I'm very vexed at the moment and you're making it worse."

"Whatever, so who's your friend here?" Inuyasha looked curiously over at the young woman.

"She's an old acquaintance, nothing more." Miroku's eyebrows were beginning to fidget. "Where are Kagome and Shippo?"

"We're right here." Kagome appeared next to Inuyasha with Shippo resting on her shoulders. "We were beginning to wonder what happened to you guys. Why don't we all go to a bar and talk? Huh? What do you guys say?"

A small smile came over Inuyasha's face. "Ya, sure I would love a drink."

Miroku let out a long sigh. "Why not?"

Sango looked over at Nayamashii with an angry expression. "I could really use a drink, or a lot of drinks."

A big smile was all over Kagome's face. "Ok, it's settled then, we're going to the bar. Oh, hey, you coming with us?" Kagome looked over at Nayamashii.

"If you'll have me, then yes."

"Of course, we'd love your company. Now lets get going guys."

The gang began walking and Miroku let out a small whisper to Sango. "Is it just me, or is Kagome-chan really exited about going to the bar?"

"No, I think I know what you mean. It's sort of scary in a way."

"Are you mad?"

"About what?"

"Nayamashii."

"Your friend, no. She's just um well. Very straightforward, I guess you could say."

"My apologies lady Sango. I didn't intend for her to come with us, I believe that was your idea."

"Only because I wanted to know what she had to do with your past."

Miroku had a small grimace on his face. "Some things are better left unknown."

Sango noticed the monks face and couldn't help but feel bad. "Miroku, I."

"Hey you two, you done chit-chatting yet? We're at the bar now. You can stop talking and get in."

Miroku and Sango both looked at Inuyasha with cold stares and went inside followed by the rest of the gang. They found a suitable place to sit and all ordered some Sake, except for Shippo, he got nothing.

Inuyasha took a big swig of Sake and smiled. "Man, this stuff is good tonight. What do you say we have a little drinking competition? Everyone drinks till they can't drink anymore. Who's in?"

Sango raised her hand immediately. "I'm in, I need to loose some of my woes."

Kagome raised her hand as well. "Sure, this could actually be pretty fun. It's nice to get hammered everyone once and a while."

Inuyasha turned to Miroku. "You in buddy? Don't tell me I'm going to be the only guy."

"Sorry to say that you are. I don't feel like drinking that much tonight."

"Fine whatever. How about you Miroku's friend."

"SHE'S AN AQUIANTENCE!"

"Uh ok, you want to join in the fun Miroku's acquaintance?"

"My name is Nayamashii and I would love to join your little game."

"Alright then, lets start. Everyone start drinking."

With in no time most of the gang was already wasted. Kagome had two shot glasses worth of Sake and was passed out on the floor. Sango had drank about three normal glasses full of Sake and was starting to get woozy. Inuyasha and Nayamashii were the only ones who were still acting normal.

"I'm impressed Nayamashii, I've never seen a woman drink so much."

"Thank you, I just really enjoy drinking Sake. However, I'm starting to get pretty woozy, I'll declare you the winner."

"Yay! I'm the winner!" Inuyasha had a huge smile on his face. He stood up and shouted, "I'm the winner!" He then fell down and passed out.

"Now that they're taken care of you and I can have some time alone, Miroku." "I don't want to be alone with you. I find it pretty devious you got all my friends drunk just to get to me. I told you before, I'm not your play thing."

"Come on now, we really had some fun together. I really like you, Miroku."

He looked at her coldly. "Parts of me, you mean."

"Tsk tsk, I would have thought you'd grown up by now Miroku, I see that I'm wrong."

"I've grown up, it's you who hasn't yet. Leave me alone; you're only going to cause more pain and trouble for me. I told you that I hate you, so go."

"I can't leave you, I'm in love with you. Ever since the day I gave myself to you, I couldn't get you out of my mind. I love you."

"What you did to me was wrong, I was only a kid. You're sick and twisted, I don't care if you love me."

Nayamashii smiled and leaned over and kissed Miroku passionately on the lips and didn't break the kiss. It looked as if it would never end.

Sango got out of her woozy daze and looked around the table. She noticed Kagome was passed out with Shippo happily sleeping next to her, and Inuyasha was passed out as well. Then she saw it, she saw Nayamashii kissing Miroku. 'I can't believe it, Miroku is kissing that girl, I just can't believe it. That bastard is going to pay.' She stood up and faced Miroku. "I hate you, Miroku!" Tears were flowing down Sango's cheek. She quickly ran out of the bar sobbing.

Miroku broke the kiss and slapped Nayamashii. "You bitch! Now, look what you did! If I could, I would kill you! Get the hell away from me! I LOVE SANGO, NOT YOU!"

She touched her cheek. A great sensation of pain ran through her. "Fine, Miroku I'll leave you alone. I just have some advice for you though."

Miroku looked at her angrily. "What is it?"

"If you lover her tell her, don't wait, you'll loose your chance." "For once I'll agree with you. Now go and never look back, I never want to see you again."

"As you wish. Good bye, Miroku-san." She got up and walked out of the bar, never to return.

"Good, now that she's out of the picture I can go find Sango. I need to tell her how I feel before it's too late; I don't want her thinking I'm in love with that bitch, Nayamashii. I need to go and find my true love. I need to find Sango."

With that Miroku got up and ran out the door. He began his frantic search for Sango.
