The Fortune Teller
Chapter Three
Miroku's Fortune
Miroku and Shippo waited patiently for Inu-Yasha to be done his fortune. Shippo gave
a great big yawn and scratched his ear as he sat on Miroku's shoulder.
"What's taking so long?" asked Shippo, looking up at Miroku.
"I'm not sure, but we must be patient since our fortune could take as long as this, or
longer,"
The fortune teller came out from behin the curtain and was putting something into her
pocket.
"Where's Inu-Yasha?" asked Miroku, noticing that the half demon hadn't come out from
behind the curtain yet.
"He had to leave, and apologized for leaving you behind,"
"That idiot," whispered Miroku.
"So . . . who's next?"
With Inu-Yasha gone without a trace, Miroku and Shippo glanced at each other, not
really wanting to go behind the curtain.
"Well, hurry up! I haven't gotten all day!"
Miroku sighed, and got up from his seat, "I'll go,"
The fortune teller nodded and motioned him to follow her. Shippo jumped off Miroku's
shoulder and waited on the chair.
Miroku followed the woman behind the curtain and took the empty seat across from
her. He could sense Inu-Yasha's presence was her, but some how he had vanished.
"Now, like I told your friend I usually tell the person what I know about them,"
"Alright,"
The fortune teller gazed into her crystal ball and started to hum for a few minutes.
Finally she responded, "Your name is Miroku, and your are a monk . . . oh wait . . . a
lecherous Monk to be exact,"
Miroku sighed with embarrasement.
"You have a hole embedded in your right hand by a demon Naruka who you and your
friends are pursuing,"
Miroku nodded in agreement.
"When ever you meet a beautiful female you ask her to bear your child, and you are
currently in love with some one, but are to scared to admit it to her,"
Miroku slightly blushed, but nodded his head.
"Well now, what would you like to know,"
"May I ask a question before I ask?"
"I suppose,"
"Do we defeat Naraku?"
The fortune teller gazed into her crystal ball and said, "Yes, you do,"
"Then tell me what will happen to me after that,"
Smiling the fortune teller waved her right hand over her crystal ball, and with her left
hand reached into her pocket. "Lean closer,"
Miroku leaned as close as he could before the fortune teller pulled our of her magic
powder, and blew it on Miroku's face. Miroku's hands went to his eyes since he was
currently blinded, and felt like he was spinning in circles. Suddenly he felt like he
crashed into something, and slowly opened his eyes. He was on his back and was lying
in a clearing somewhere in a forest. The sun was shinning brightly and a soft breeze was
blowing.
"What in the world . . ." mumbled Miroku as he sat up and rubbed his head. "That was
the strangest thing that ever happened to me.
Getting to his feet, Miroku decided to find out where he was. Grabbing his staff on the
ground, he placed it in front of him and let it drop so he could decide on which way to
go. The staff fell to the left of him, and after picking it off the ground again, he headed
in that direction, hopping to have some clue where the hell he was.
"The last thing I remember was that old lady blowing some kind of dust in my face,"
mumbled Miroku as he made his way through the forest. Birds were chirping the odd
time, and the tempeture felt like it was the summer, but Miroku knew something was
wrong immediatly, since when they were traveling it was the middle of spring.
Finally he reached the end of the forest and gasped. Miroku stared at the village below
him and recognized it immediatly.
"Kaede's Village," whispered Miroku, "But that's impossible, were a weeks journey
from here,"
The village looked peaceful as always, but Miroku noticed a group entering the village
that he recognized right away. Sprinting to the village, he ran as fast as his legs could
carry them. Crossing the bridge he ran to where he saw the group enter and stopped. He
dropped his staff in surprise as the monk stared at the group. It was Inu- Yasha, Kagome,
Sango, Shippo, Kiara, . . . and himslef. Miroku tried to say something but stopped as the
group simply phazed through him. Turning around he followed them, wondering what
they were going to do. He noticed that Inu-Yasha and Kagome were walking hand in
hand, and Kagome was also carrying a completed Shikon No Tama in her hand.
"So this must be what happens after we defeat Naraku," mumbled Miroku.
The group headed to Kaede's hut like they usually did when they reached her village.
Kiara returned to her smaller form before they headed inside. Miroku followed
immediatly, wondering what they would do. Everyone had taken a seat on the floor, and
were waiting for old Kaede to settle down.
"So, Naraku is dead? And the jewel complete?"
Kagome held up the jewel, and Miroku saw his illusional self (I know this may sound
confusing, but try your best to understand, I'm trying to make this as clearly as possible)
hold up his right hand . . . the wind tunnel was gone.
"Very good, now the only question is . . . what are we going to do with it?"
All was quiet before Kagome spoke up, "Would you guys mind . . . if I used it?"
Everyones eyes were now on Kagome, "What for?" asked Sango.
"Well . . ."Kagome looked at Inu-Yasha who now had his arm wrapped around her,
"Since Inu-Yasha and I are going to be together, and he is immortal and I am not, I was
wondering if I could use it to become a half demon,"
Everyone gasped, including Inu-Yasha, "Now way Kagome! I like you the way you
are!"
All nodded in agreement.
"Why not use the jewel to become immortal?" suggest Miroku (the illisuion one).
Everyone was quiet for a sec before all nodding in agreement.
"That would work," said Kaede.
"Perfect," piped in Shippo.
Inu-Yasha looked so happy that he kissed Kagome right in front of them all. Miroku
(the real one) glanced at Sango and noticed that she had her head down and was crying.
She suddenly got up and ran out of the hut. Both Miroku's ran after her leaving a
surprised Inu-Yasha, Kagome, Kaede, and Shippo in the hut.
Sango ran into Inu-Yasha's forest with both Miroku's on her heels.
"Sango wait! What's the matter?" called Miroku (the illusion one).
Sango didn't answer she just kept on running. Finally she stopped and collapsed on the
ground. Miroku (the real one) staye back and decided to watch the scene before him.
(okay this next scene is just between the illusion characters. I'm telling you this so you
won't be confused)
Miroku knelt down beside Sango and placed and hand on her shoulder, "What's the
matter?"
Sango finally stopped crying and stared into his eyes, "Oh Miroku, I feel so lonely . . .
Inu-Yasha and Kagome are together now, and I have no one," sobbed Sango.
Miroku wrapped his arms around Sango and held her tight, "That's not true . . . you have
me,"
Sango stopped crying and looked at Miroku with shocked eyes. Before she could say a
word, he leaned forward and gently kissed her. Sango was so so shocked she didn't know
what to do, she just sat there frozen like a statue. Miroku pulled back since he didn't feel
her respond.
"Miroku . . ."
"Shh," he whispered placing a finger on her lips, "I have something to tell you and
would appreciate it if you didn't say anything,"
Sango simply nodded her head.
"Alright. Sango, from the moment I met you, I thought you were the most beautiful
women I had ever seen in my life. After we started to travel together, I . . . I started to
see what kind of person you were, and I started to fall in love with you. I never asked
you to bear my child since I knew you would never speak to me after that, and probably
would never want to see me again. I knew if that happened, something would die inside
me if I never saw you again. Ever since I met you Sango, I became alive,"
Tears were streaming down Sango's face as she listened intently to Miroku.
"Sango I love you, I have ever since the first time I've met you . . . I've never loved
anyone else they way I love you. Your beautiful, smart, and one hell of a demon
exterminator . . . I guess what I'm trying to say is . . . will you marry me?"
Sango gasped, her hand placed on her chest over her heart. "Miroku . . . I . . . I can't,"
Miroku grabbed Sango by the shoulders, forcing her to look at him, "Why? Why not?
Do you love someone else?"
"No . . . Miroku I love you, but . . . I'm just so scared that . . ."
"Scared of what?"
"I don't want to be alone . . . my whole village . . . my family . . . is gone, and I'm afraid
that I'm going to lose you, or you'll leave me,"
"Sango I would never leave you,"
"How do I know that though? What if you fall in love with someone who is worthy of
you and leave me . . . I don't think I could bear being heartbroken and left alone again,"
Miroku held Sango in his arms tightly, stroking her hair as he tried to comfort her.
"Sango I would never leave you, and do you think that you are not worthy for me?"
With out saying a word, Sango slowly nodded her head.
"If anyone is not worthy . . . it is me,"
"What?"
"I'm the scum who kept asking strange woman to bear my child, and I was always
touching you, and just being a dirty lecher like everyone calls me. Sango . . . I would
rather die . . . wait no . . . I would rather be sucked into my old wind tunnel than ever
leave you,"
Sango slightly smiled and kissed Miroku gently. Miroku closed his eyes and kissed her
back more passionately. When they parted for air, Miroku pressed his forehead against
hers, "You are not unworthy,"
"And you are not either,"
"So will you marry,"
"Of course," whispered Sango as she kissed Miroku again.
Miroku leaned back so Sango was on top of him, his arms wrapped around her while his
staff lay forgotten on the ground. Sango's arms were wrapped around his neck, making
the kiss more passionately. Sango moaned slightly as Miroku deepend the kiss by
running his tounge across her lips, begging for entrance.
(Okay, back to the real Miroku now from his POV)
I stared at the scene before me, and felt many emotions at that moment. Hapiness,
sadness, and relief. He felt sad because he wished that it was really him that was
kissing Sango, but mentally slapped himself realizing that he would eventually be able to.
Suddenly everything went black, and the everthing was gone around me, I was staring
into nothing but darkness.
"Where am I?"
There was a bright light in front of me as the fortune teller suddnely appeared. "Well?"
"Is that what will really happen?"
"Yes, only though if you do two things,"
"Well what?"
"One, you must not go back tonight and tell Sango how you feel, or that will be the
biggest mistake of your life,"
"Why not?"
"For Naraku will find out and then he will use her at one point against you,"
"Like taking her hostage?"
"Exactly, then everything will be screwed up, you'll die you would leave her all alone,"
"Okay and what's the second thing?"
Smacking him on the head she said, "Stop being such a damn lecher!"
(out of Miroku's POV)
Miroku rubbed his head, but nodded. There was a flash of white light and Miroky
suddenly found himself back in the traveling cart facing the fortune teller.
"Now pay up,"
Sighing, Miroku reached into his pocket and pulled out six gold pieces.
"You also need to pay for your friend, he left before he could pay me,"
Miroku growled and pulled out another six gold pieces.
"Thank you, and you might as pay for your little fox friend, I imagine he doens't have
any money either,"
Miroku grabbed some more gold and threw it on the table. Just as he was leaving the
fortune teller yelled, "There's some food in the cupboard near the door, take as much as
you like,"
Turning around, Miroku nodded and replied, "Thank you,"
TBC . . . .
Yes it was short, but oh well!!!!! If you don't like it, you can go to hell!!!!!!! Well that's
it for Miroku's fortune, next is Shippo's!!! Well tell me what you think of this fic, and if I
should continue or not. By the way, if anyone knows what the hell happens in the second
