Miroku in Love~
Chapter 2~Something special
I looked around for Byakko. He was nowhere to be found. I felt a wave of fear travel over me. My older brother was always my gaurdian and now that he wasn't here I felt unprotected.
"Byakko...?" I whimpered. I wander around during the day but I am usually back before dark and my brother is always there waiting for me. I felt vulnerable standing here in this darkness.
"Ryoko? Are you okay?" Byakko touched my shoulder. I screamed as I woke from the dream. I stared up into the face of my older brother, Byakko. His face, usually alive with humor, was full of concern.
I sat up and let out a deep breath. "I'm okay."
"Are you sure? You were yelling and rolling around in your sleep. And you're drenched in sweat." he said.
"Yes, I'm sure." Was I really rolling around and screaming? I wondered. I felt of my face and sure enough it was wet. "I just had a nightmare, that's all." I laid back down.
Byakko's face relaxed. He laid down beside of me and put a protective arm around my waist. I fell asleep and had nothing but good dreams the rest of the night.

"What a pleasant suprise, Lady Ryoko." Miroku smiled. Kagome and Sango looked up at the enchanting young girl standing before them.
"Why, hello, Miroku!" I smiled back at him and glanced at his two companions; both female. "What are you doing in town?"
"I got dragged along to do some shopping." He rolled his eyes and I laughed.
"I'm here with my brother, Byakko, and his friend, Metrion."
"Metrion? That's a name you don't hear everyday." one of the females spoke up.
I looked at her and said, " Exactly. Who wants a name that you hear all the time? Plus, I thinks it's charming."
The girl looked at me disdainfully and walked away to looked at some vegetables.
The other girl stepped forward. She had on strange clothes. "Hello, my name is Kagome."
I smiled pleasantly at her. " I am Ryoko.It is very nice to meet you."
Miroku watched as a young man walked up beside of Ryoko. He had dark brown eyes and spiky black hair.
"This is my brother, Byakko." the brother bowed.
"We had better get going." Byakko told his sister. Ryoko waved and walked off with him.
Kagome looked up at Miroku. "So what's up with your new friend?"
"Nothing." Kagome gave him a 'yeah right' look. " She sure is something special, though, isn't she." He gazed dreamily at the sky as Kagome shook her head on annoyance.
