Fateful Curse

Disclaimer: I hope you get it so far. I do NOT own Inuyasha or its original characters in the anime or manga series. I'm just a pathetic soul who likes to write stories about them, and screw them over.

::thoughts:: ENJOY!

LAST CHAPTER:
He walked over to Sango and placed a hand on her cheek. ::She feels warmer. I'm glad:: Miroku smiled down at her with hints of love in his eyes and right at that moment, Sango chose to wake up from her sleep. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
::What is that presence I sense near me? It seems awfully familiar:: Sango felt something resting on her face. ::So soft. Just like that warmth:: Sango then seemed to regain her common sense and tried to put two and two together. ::Wait a moment. There was only one person who I was with this morning. There could only be one person with me. The others left me alone with him, so the person with me now has to be....::

Sango opened her eyes and came face to face with the monk himself. His smiling face was only a few inches away from hers. She blushed at the close proximity. Her chocolate brown eyes were filled with dread and anger. Both of them had the same thought in mind.

::This is NOT going to end out too good::

CHAPTER SIX: Explanations

"You hentai!!!" Sango yelled out loud enough for Miroku to wince at her tone. She woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Well actually, she woke up facing the wrong monk this evening. The furious raven-haired tajai raised her hand to slap the monk across the face but he anticipated her move, catching her wrist in his hand. That made her even more furious and aggravated. Her eyes were blazing with fury. She raised her other hand to slap him with all her might, but he caught her wrist in his other hand.

"Let me go hentai!!" She yelled at him.

"Now why should I do that? If I let you go, you will surely inflict harm on me," Miroku calmly said back to her.

"Harm that you deserve!" Sango retorted. "What do you think you were doing standing over people while they sleep? Don't you have any decency?! Or am I giving you too much credit!" This was now the second time she caught him standing over her while she slept.

"My dear Sango. I will let you go IF you do NOT abuse a poor innocent monk like me." His eyes were playful and that upset Sango to an even higher level than before.

"Innocent?! You don't know the meaning of the word!!" She yelled at him. She tried to wrench her hands out of his grasp but he held onto her tighter. Sango stared up at him with rage but he seemed oblivious to her fury and remained calm. After a few moments, she lowered her head in defeat. "Fine hentai. I will not inflict harm on you- for now!" He released her hands and stepped back, still looking at her. She turned her gaze up to meet his. "What is it now Houshi?"

Miroku blinked, coming out of his thoughts. "Huh? Oh... nothing." He mumbled. He turned around and walked over to the fire, his back facing her.

Sango stared at Miroku's back, a little dumbfounded. She felt a breeze across her chest and looked down. She blushed and yelped in surprise, pulling the covers on the bed up to her neck. ::What am I doing in bed NAKED?!::

Miroku walked over to the cabin door, taking hold on the doorknob. He remained with his back facing her but he spoke a little higher than a whisper so Sango could understand what he was saying. "You might want to get dressed. I'll be back in a few minutes." With that he walked out the door and closed it behind him before she could open her mouth to say anything to him.

Sango blushed a darker shade of scarlet than before. She mentally cursed herself and tried rubbing her cheeks to get rid of her blushing. ::So he knew I was naked in the covers. How did I get this way anyway? All I remember is being at camp and hitting my head and then going unconscious:: Sango touched the cut on her forehead and winced. :: At least it isn't deep. Oh well. Better get dressed before that hentai comes back. Weird though. He normally would have volunteered to help or at least watch me change. I wonder what's going on with him::

Sango stepped out of bed, still clutching the blankets to her body. She picked up her clothes on the chair next to the bed and changed quickly into her demon slaying outfit. After she was finished, Sango sat on the edge on the bed looking around the one room cabin. ::How did I get here anyway? Ok let's see. I woke up in bed naked with Houshi-sama standing over me:: She blushed at the thought.

"Oh! Stop thinking about it!" She scolded herself aloud. ::But how did I get that way? I didn't undress myself but then how...:: Sango blushed an unusual shade of red out of embarrassment but also anger. "He undressed me!!"

The doorknob turned and Miroku chose the wrong moment to walk into the cabin. He saw angered Sango sitting upright on the wrinkled untidy bed clutching hold on the blankets beside her tightly. Her knuckles were turning white under the pressure of her hold. "Are you alright Sango?"

"Explain yourself Houshi." She turned her head to face Miroku with a deadly glare that even Inuyasha would cower to.

"What do you mean?" Miroku didn't notice Sango's glare or pretended not to.

"You know exactly what I mean Houshi." She stared at him for a while before she turned her gaze to her lap, which she found extremely fascinating right now. "Why did I wake up...." Sango mumbled the last part but Miroku understood what she meant. If she looked up, she would have noticed a healthy light shade of red cross Miroku's face.

He was embarrassed. Miroku knew she was going to ask it sooner or later but he would have preferred if she waited till later. ::What am I suppose to say?:: He covered up his embarrassment and walked over to Sango. He stood in front of her but she didn't looked up to meet his gaze. "Sango, you blacked out back at camp when you fell. You hit your head on a sharp rock. These two women came out of nowhere and started fighting. I had to get us out of there but it started raining heavy." He informed her. "Umm... you started to shiver and I found this cabin." Miroku coughed lightly and continued. "I had to undress you and provide warmth for you so you wouldn't freeze." He whispered.

Sango stared down at her lap, digesting what he just told her. ::He saved me?:: Miroku lifted her chin up to face him. "You got a nasty cut on your forehead," He said quietly. "We better get back to camp and clean your wound." Sango stood up and looked up Miroku who seemed confused. Sango leaned forward and placing her arms around his neck, laying her head on his chest. ::He's so warm:: "Thank you for saving me... Miroku."

Miroku was overjoyed that she was thanking him personally by saying his name for once, but he winced when her elbow connected with the wound on his left shoulder. It still hadn't been cleaned and it kept reopening under any slight pressure. Sango's hug opened his wound up and he could feel the blood seeping through his robes. Sango didn't feel Miroku return the hug, but she instead felt something wet on her arm. She released Miroku and looked down at her arm and then to his shoulder.

"You're bleeding! How did this happen?"

"It's nothing Sango. Don't worry about it."

"This is not nothing. We have to get to camp and clean this fast! We don't want you to get infected. You need to worry about yourself once in a while."

Miroku was about to open his mouth and reply, but the sound of something knocking on wood stopped him. He didn't need to go over to the door and open it because the something knocking on the door decided to invite itself in.

Standing a few feet away was the blue haired woman from earlier. She acknowledged the two and nodded to them, her silver eyes glowing light blue. "I knew you would be here."

I know that was a very short chapter but I just wanted to get through the part where Sango woke up and now I left it off as a cliffhanger. I'll make it up in the next chapter. What do you think that woman wants with them? What's she going to do with them? Find out next time! ^_^ Please review! Sorry about the typos!
