Chapter 2

nothing... remember that]
"How many times do we have to tell you... KEEP YOUR DISTANCE!" Yelled Kagome and Sango.
Miroku shrank back a bit, holding his hands up defensively. "I tripped! It was an honest mistake! I assure you!"
Inuyasha sighed, covering his face with one hand. "Why don't you stop following so close, Miroku. One of these days, you're going to be a dead monk very soon..."
Miroku sighed and trailed back, avoiding a few stones that were thrown at him and noticed Shippou walking up to him.
"You know what you're doing isn't going to get any girls." Started off Shippou before he ran back to the main group, whispering. "They go for the cute ones like me!"
Miroku sighed again, lowering his head and glanced at his gloved hand. 'Right... they all do...'
They group stopped at a river for lunch and decided to catch some fish to eat. Shippou sat on a rock at the river's edge with a fishing pole and waited while Inuyasha stood in knee deep water, barely moving and keeping his eyes for any moving fishes. After a few moments of uneventful fishing, they all sat down to a cook meal of fish... with tempers flaring between Shippou and Inuyasha.
"I caught more fish than you so I get to sit beside Kagome!" Yelled Shippou.
"That's because you took my spot at the river!" Snapped Inuyasha, baring his fangs.
The remaining people sweat dropped and watched the two have a staring contest while shouting insults back and forth.
"Lost dog!"
"Feather duster!"
"MUTT!"
"WHY YOU!!" And a fight broke out.
Kagome sighed, shaking her head slowly then looked at Miroku. "Hey. Is something wrong? You haven't tried to grope anyone lately and you seem kinda down. Is the food bad?"
Miroku looked up from his untouched lunch. "Oh... what? No! It's fine! It's better than fine!"
He then ate the meal very, very quickly and got odd looks from the others; even pausing the argument between the fish catchers. He coughed nervously and set his plate down in a calm manner, going back to his thoughts. After the short eventful meal, there was a period of relaxation. Inuyasha was lying in the sunlight, Shippou, Kagome and Sango sat at the river, dipping their feet in the water and Miroku sat under a tree, watching them all. He sighed and propped his staff against the tree, beside him.
'I'm doomed...' He thought to himself, glancing down at his gloved hand. 'They don't really understand what will happen...'
He closed his eyes and rested the back of his head against the trunk of the tree. He opened his eyes, feeling a few leaves brush past his face. His eyes widened slightly, seeing someone hanging upside down in front of him, looking straight at him. Miroku started to stand up slowly as the creature pulled itself back into the leaves. He looked up, a perplexed look on his face.
"Uh... hello?" He asked, trying to see the creature again.
Kagome looked back at Miroku and sweat dropped. "... Is he okay? He's been acting stranger than usual."
Sango glanced back as well. "I think he's just looking for attention. Who knows?"
The two girls shrugged and went back to their little conversation. Miroku scratched the back of his head nervously, hearing more of the leaves shuffle then something dropping out of the tree. He glanced around the other side of the tree and saw the same creature. The creature had silver ears and a silver tail, with long black hair with silver tips. She wore a white long-sleeved shirt that was obviously too big for her and the top of it cut just an inch or so above her collar bone, showing a very slight amount of cleavage, and she wore a black pair of loose-fitting pants; only held up by a few silver strings which hung on quite well.
Miroku blinked then noticed her face. "Uhm... excuse me, miss, but your face is bleeding."
The creature took little to no notice of the blood that had made a line down the side of her face. She looked at Miroku, with a slight look of wonder on her facial features then and shifted her gaze to Inuyasha, who was still sun bathing.
Miroku stole a glance at Inuyasha as well. "Oh. Him? He's Inuyasha. He's pretty known well around places. And I didn't catch your name. I'm Miroku, a very skilled monk."
The creature looked at Miroku again; still looking a little confused herself and spoke softly. "I am Tairei. That's Lord Inuyasha, Lord Miroku?"
Miroku scratched the side of his face nervously. "That's what I said... and why did you just call me that?"
He didn't really get an answer when Tairei jumped back into the tree, and into another one, towards Inuyasha. He watched her as she got nearer and nearer, almost unknown to Inuyasha and he started to get a little suspicious. He ran towards Inuyasha, keeping a glance at the creature jumping from tree to tree.
"Inuyasha! Watch out!" Miroku yelled, seeing the cat creature leap out of tree at full height and fall towards Inuyasha, claws outstretched.
Inuyasha snapped his eyes open and rolled to the side quickly, falling off of the little ledge as well and into the river. The three people who were sitting by the river blinked, and watched a sputtering Inuyasha curse quite a bit.
"What the hell is that?!" He yelled, glaring up at the ledge; but nothing was there. "What the hell!?'
He glanced up again, only to see that the creature was lunging at him again, ready for a strike. He ran out of the way, hearing a splash behind him as Tairei landed in the water. Kagome, Shippou and Sango jumped up, ready for another attempt for an attack, then they saw the creature slide herself out of the water, completely drenched; ear tip to toe.
Miroku, being the odd man as he was, went into his usual routine. He walked over to Tairei and grasped her hands lightly. "Will you bear my children?"
Kagome and Sango face faulted right on the spot. "Typical..."
Tairei looked up at Miroku and sat on her knees. "... Children?"
Miroku nodded trying to look as convincing as he could. "Yes, my children."
"... What are... children?" Asked Tairei, highly confused at that moment.
"You gotta be kidding me! She doesn't know anything about kids?!" Cut-in Inuyasha, slapping his forehead.
Miroku asked again. "Well? How about our family?"
Tairei tilt her head to the side. "... Family?"
Miroku blinked, and loosened his grip slightly. "... Are you serious? You don't know anything about that? About those words?"
Tairei shook her head slowly, not understanding the concepts of kin. Miroku's face went red quite quickly and stared at Tairei.
Kagome pointed at Miroku. "Is he -actually- embarrassed?! Well this is a first!"
Shippou burst out laughing, unable to keep quiet. "Usually it's the girls that look like that! This is great!"
Sango coughed slightly, clearing her throat so she wouldn't laugh. "Well, Miroku, what do you have to say for yourself?"
Inuyasha waved his hand in a lazy manner. "That's besides the point. Why did you attack me anyway-"
Inuyasha caught the scent of Tairei's blood. "... IT'S A CAT DEMON! Damn it all! What sort of a cat demon ARE YOU?!"
Tairei looked at Inuyasha. "Lord Sesshoumaru sent me here. He sent me here to get rid of you, Lord Inuyasha."
