Miroku in Love~

Chapter Three~ Cats~

"Miroku's got a WHAT?" Inuyasha yelled.

"He's got a girlfriend." Kagome retold him. She wispered,"And Sango doesn't look too happy about that."

"I can't believe anyone would like a pervert monk like him." Inuyasha declared.

"Well, obviously that girl does." Sango said hotly. Miroku walked up. He gave Sango a look over and frowned.

"What's wrong with her?" He asked Kagome.

"Nothing!" Sango yelled at him. "Absolutally nothing! Why would anything be wrong? Nope, I'm just fine!"

"I'll say so." Miroku muttered. He smiled as he looked at her.

Sango stared at him coldly and walked away, into the forest.

"I'll go after her." Kagome said and then walked off in search of Sango. Miroku sat down by Inuyasha.

"So what's this I hear about you having a girlfriend?" Inuyasha demanded.

"She's not my girlfriend. She's just a... friend. And I just happen to be interested in her." Miroku smiled.

"Aww, you crazy monk!" Inuyasha said. "You're interested in every girl that you meet. How is this one any different?"

"I think she likes me."

Inuyasha looked at him disappiontedly. "Haven't you learned by now, Miroku."

Miroku looked away. They sat in silence until Inuyasha's ears twitched as he heard screams.

"Do you hear that?" he asked. "It's the girls!"

Both of them jumped up and ran into the forest. They found the girls surrounded by two three large cats. The biggest was pink and yellow. The second largest was black and grey. And the smallest was red and green.

"They're cat demons!" Miroku yelled. "Everyone get out of the way, I'm going to use my wind tunnel!"

The smallest cat jumped forward and stared up at the group.

"It can't be..." Inuyasha mumbled.

"What?" Miroku looked at him. When he turned back the cat demon's were gone and the girl's had fainted.

When Kagome and Sango were safely put away and asleep Miroku brought up the subject of what was said in the forest.

"What were you saying in the forest?" he asked, siiting down around the fire that was made.

"It was them. All three of them together..."

"Who? Who were those demons?"

"They were the Takahashi Cats. The children."

"The Tak- Sugouroku and Yuna Takahashi's children?!" Miroku gasped.

"Yes." Inuyasha nodded somberly.

"But I thought that the were dead. How can they be here?"

"I don't know."

The Takahashi Cats, as the are more commonly known, are famous for destroying over fifteen villages in less than an hour.

"But how are you sure that it's really them?"

"Did you see the colorings and the sizes? That is how I know. That confirms their identity."

Miroku and Inuyasha sat quietly and watched the fire die.
