Lover and Enemy Part II
by F4 girl
The sun is completely gone. Inu-Yasha turns into a human boy and one of the monsters shoots him with a poisoned darn. Inu-Yasha screams in pain and falls to the ground. He watches in fear as the monsters get closer to him.
Miroku jumps down from the tree and stands between Inu-Yasha and the monsters. The young demon hunter waves his staff and says, "Touch the boy and you all die."
All the monsters charge toward Miroku. Inu-Yasha screams and closes his eyes. Suddenly, everything is quiet. Inu-Yasha opens one of his eyes and peeks. Miroku is smiling at him, "don't be scared. They're gone now."
Inu-Yasha opens his eyes and look around. All the monsters are on the ground unconscious. The young demon exclaims, "you beat them all up?"
Miroku says, "don't worry about that now. Did they hurt you?"
"I feel dizzy." Inu-Yasha says as he faints. Miroku sees the poisoned darn on Inu-Yasha's thigh. He pulls the darn out and sucks the poison out from Inu-Yasha.
The young demon wakes up and sees Miroku's lips on his thigh. He screams and jumps away. Miroku shouts, "be careful!"
Inu-Yasha realizes then he is jumping right into the river. Miroku tries to grab the demon boy but ends up falling into the water too. The two boys get out of the water; Miroku looks at the soaking wet Inu-Yasha and he does something he never did in his entire life.
Miroku laughs.
No one even makes Miroku feel that way before. Inu-Yasha makes Miroku's heart light up warmly. Inu-Yasha starts laughing, too. The two boys laugh for a long time until Miroku stops and says, "pardon me. I don't mean to startle you. You got hit by a poisoned darn and I have to suck all the venom out or you'll die."
"Hmm. Thanks for saving my life. My name is Inu-Yasha."
"I'm Miroku. You're shivering. Let me get a fire start to keep you warm."
Miroku starts a fire and says to the young demon, "let me take care of your wound."
"No, it's fine. I'll be okay in the morning."
"Don't be silly. Wounds don't heal by themselves." Miroku cleans Inu-Yssha's wound and wrap it. Inu-Yasha blushes as Miroku's warm and gentle hand lightly blushes the sensitive skin on his thigh.
Inu-Yasha's wound will disappear in the morning when he turns back into a demon. But he likes the way Miroku cares for him; so he just let Miroku do so. Miroku finishes wrapping Inu-Yasha's wound and smiles, "there, all better now. Poor boy, those huge monsters must be really scary to you. Don't worry. I'm going to protect you, okay? Now get some sleep."
Inu-Yasha is mesmerizes by Miroku's handsome smiles. The young demon says, "I'm not sleepy yet, can I stay up with you a little longer?"
"You can stay up as long as you like. Here, eat some bread. I don't have anything good to eat. I only have some bread that the villagers gave me."
"As long as it's from you, then it's the best food on earth." Inu-Yasha takes the bread.
Miroku smiles. Even since his parent's death, Miroku is dead inside. Today Inu-Yasha makes him feels alive again.
Inu-Yasha asks Miroku, "did anyone tell you that you got a nice smile?"
"I never smile to anyone. I never smile, not until I met you." Miroku says.
"Then I'm glad I met you. You look handsome when you smile, you should smile more." Inu-Yasha says happily.
Miroku blushes, "don't be silly."
They continue eating and talking as if they are old friends under the starlite sky. Soon, morning comes and Inu-Yasha stands up. Miroku asks, "are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm changing back to my real form." Inu-Yasha answers as he turns back into a demon. Miroku jumps up and shouts, "you're a demon?"
"What's the matter? I thought we are friends!" Inu-Yasha asks.
Ten millions thoughts rushes through Miroku's head. Inu-Yasha is a demon! In the heat of confusion, Miroku points his staff to Inu-Yasha and shouts, "demons are my swore enemies! Leave now or I will kill you!"
"But I'm still Inu-Yasha! Nothing changed!" Inu-Yasha says desperately.
"Run! And don't even show your face again. Next time I see you I'll show no mercy!"
Inu-Yasha lowers his head, "Miroku, I love you."
Miroku's heart seems to be speared by a hundred knives. He looks away from Inu-Yasha.
"You don't believe that I love you? You don't trust me just because I'm a demon?" Inu-Yasha asks. When Miroku doesn't answer, Inu-Yasha leaves with a broken heart. He gets back to him home, only to discover that the castle is empty.
"Ni-san must be worried that I didn't come home last night and went out to look for me." Inu-Yasha thinks. He feels awful and lonely in the huge empty castle all by himself. So he goes out to look for his Ni-san.
