A/N: Hey Minna-san! GOMEN for not updating earlier! I'm such a lazy slob
thing, a pathetic excuse for a dedicated writer. (Dramatically Sobs) I've
finally lost it @.@ ! You might think I'm truly insane after you read this
part. I've been so sad because I couldn't update for so long (Cause I'm
lazy) I smacked myself with the book I was reading. ^_^;; I notice I
haven't got any comic relief at all and it's been so serious, sad,
depressing, gloomy, and yah, you know the rest. Miroku's dream scene going
to be my comic relief! Mwahaha! I think? _ I've been reading and busy
these past weeks into summer. And I finished reading the 5th HP book and
it's depressing to me, so it reflected. I'm on happier moods cause Cable
Modem works, sometimes, better than nothing, so I'll try my best to get
some laughs in here, or comic relief. I seriously think I'm going to mess
this chapter up sooo bad. I CAN'T write humor for my own sake, so of you
guys have ANY comic relief suggestions, throw em at me. ^_^ Thanks! Have a
good summer! (This was sure boring, and long; glad I'm done writing it.)
Finally, on with the show, or, story thing.

Well my warning is that this chapter, I'm trying to make it funny, but I'm failing miserably, and I'm afraid this is going to be sad, so have some tissues around your computer! ^_^ (Ahh I feel so strangled I can't even express something in short sentences, look how frickin long this is!)
The Decision Miroku's Dream, Inuyasha's Ingenious Plan (I've lost all creativity.::Sobs Emotionally::)
"Uh, Miroku? Miroku?!?! MIROKU!!!! Goddamn wake up already!!! Hello?" Inuyasha kneeled next to his pale body and shook him.
"Um, hello? Anyone in there? Miroku!!!" Inuyasha asked while he tapped Miroku's head. "Hrm, there must be something. There's gotta be.."
As Inuyasha shook him, and prodded him, trying to wake him, Miroku was having his little dream.
~*~ Miroku's Dream Sequence ~*~
"Father! Father, please, father! Don't go, DAD!" Little Miroku screamed as he struggled against his now legal guardian. (The um priest guy Miroku went to, to stitch his hand together, the one who he learned his bad habits from.)
"LET GO OF ME! DAD! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE ALONE! MOM IS GONE, DON'T GO. DON'T LEAVE ME DAD! DAAAAAAAD" Miroku screamed his strangely high-pitched voice echoed, and soon was drowned out by the huge sucking noise.
"MIROKU! PLEASE STAY AWAY! BE A GOOD BOY! CONTINUE BEING A PRIEST AND DEFEAT NARAKU! LIFT THIS CURSE, AND FIND A GOOD WIFE, DON'T BE LECHEROUS. MIROKU! YOU WERE THE BEST AND ONLY SON I HAVE! PLEASE GO GET A BETTER LIFE FOR YOURSELF AND DEFEAT NARAKU! MIROKU!" Those were the last words Miroku's father screamed above the sucking noise that came from the Air Void in his hand, sucking him away, soon he disappeared, and right in front of Miroku too.
"Miroku, please, stop struggling, control your anger, your dad only wanted the best for you." The priest holding him told him.
"NO. YOU'RE LYING! IF HE WANTED THE BEST FOR ME WHY'D HE GO! WHY'D HE LEAVE! I HATE HIM AND NEVER WANT TO SEE HIM AGAIN! SHUT UP! I DON'T CARE ANYMORE, THIS STUPID HOLE IN MY HAND IS THE CAUSE OF THIS, AND I HATE EVERYONE FOR IT! SHUT UP!" Miroku screamed as he flailed his arms around desperately trying to free himself from the tight grip, he was shaking silently while tears leaked out of his eyes. 'It's everyone's fault! Stupid Naraku, stupid dad, stupid everyone! Stupid hole, stupid life, AAAAAAARRRGG' With a freakishly strong force Miroku wrenched himself from the priest's grip and ran, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hands. He ran to the stream, which was inside the forest, where he and his dad used to sit during the sunset, after dinner.
"Dad, why? Why'd you have to go? Why'd you leave me, why'd mom leave me? Why'd you leave me alone, on this world, in this wretched place that makes me want to retch! Dad! WHY?" Miroku screamed until his voice was hoarse. He cried, the clear untainted droplets streaming off his facing profusely, making it glisten. He opened his eyes and scanned his surroundings, it was sunset. His dad and him used to sit here every night admiring the beautiful change in the sky, and the glorious colors painted across the sky. This was different. This time his dad wasn't with him, he wasn't even on the face of the earth anymore. His heart changed colors, it changed from bruised purple, to ice black. He felt as if everyone here on the face of earth was here only to hurt him, to get to know him, so they can gain his love, his trust, and then shatter it in a million pieces over and over again. They weren't even kind enough to stay on this world and at least be with him on the same planet, no, they had to DIE just to get away from him. It's tough to love. He crawled to the side of the stream hiccuping. A boy with a sad tear-streaked pale face stared back at him. He wish he knew a way to comfort him, to tell him it's all right, there wasn't. Miroku used his small hands to cup up some water and splashed it on his face. Then he dried it and crawled back to the spot where he was sitting and hugged his knees to his chest. Sniffling he buried his head in his knees but did not cry. He looked back up into the sky and instead gave a loud audible sigh.
"If no one loves me, I will love myself, and never let anyone close enough to hurt me. I will only do what everyone does to me, to play with them and then break them. But I shouldn't be as cruel. I'll give them some compassion. Won't let them close enough to me to break me-again. I won't bother them, they won't bother me. That's the way it should be. And Naraku, you WILL pay for all the pain you caused me." Miroku whispered quietly to himself staring at the sky.
Everything turned black. Miroku re-appeared, older, the age when he first met Inuyasha and co. In other words he was back to normal.
"I'm suspecting that was a flashback, a bitter one. One that I do not wish to remember, but why am I remembering it now? Where is Sango, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippou, and why am I here?" Miroku said bitterly, still affected by his flashback. Then it turned black again, and Miroku woke up in one of those rooms, with lots of girls doing a traditional dance for him. Unfortunately for Miroku those girls were ugly, as usual. 'This ALWAYS happens to me. Why am I here anyway? How come I don't remember anything I did or how I got here?'
Suddenly Miroku saw a glimpse of a girl. A girl with long dark brown/black hair, and hot pink mascara, pass by. He suddenly stood up knocking over some of the weird girls with tons of horrible make-up. Quickly, he gave chase to that girl he saw. It looked so familiar, so very welcoming, but who was she? It was on the tip of Miroku's tongue but he couldn't grasp it. 'That face. Who is she?' Finally up ahead he saw the figure, she was running around the corner and he finally caught up, but the girl disappeared. On the floor, there were 4 bodies, all very familiar. He walked up to them, and his foot brushed against Sango's shin.
As if that contact was his jolt back to reality, Miroku remembered. He remembered everything. His face turned pale, he felt his blood rush to his head, and his heart was ramming against his chest painfully. 'Please don't let this be real, please. I'm dreaming. Miroku, you are dreaming you hear me? Count to ten, yes that's it, count to ten and open your eyes, there will be no one lying on the floor dead. There is no one, particularly a hanyou with a bad temper, a girl who sees Shikon Shards and comes from the future, a small kitsune, or the one you love lying on the floor. None of your friends are lying on the floor.
Then where are they?
I don't know, not on the floor at least.'
Miroku hesitantly opened his eyes and looked down. The expression on his face could have melted the happiest person alive. It could've made the happiest person have a emotional breakdown. And it took all Miroku had to stop himself from having one right then. His friends were on the ground, all battered and worn out. It seemed as if Inuyasha was blocking all 3 of them from the last blow, and succeeded but, it still penetrated the group.
"Wha-Why? Why wasn't I here?" Miroku said, his confused eyes searching them for answers.
Miroku sank slowly to the floor beside Sango. She looked as if she were sleeping, quiet peacefully, eyelids closed, but never opening again. Heart stopping, never beating again, lips closed never speaking again, hands besides her never slapping him again.
"Sango, why? Why did you leave? Why didn't you call me? Who did this. Sango! TELL ME!" Miroku said denying the real truth, shaking her frantically. Sango's head heaved back and forth between her shoulders, finally resting her chin on her chest, head bowed, when Miroku stopped shaking her. He pulled her into a fierce hug, burying his neck on the crook of her shoulder and neck, sobbing uncontrollably. He sobbed so hard both shook, under his emotional spasms. He quieted himself down and stared at Sango's face. He set her down gently and picked Kagome up and laid her down next to Sango, and same with Inuyasha and Shippou. He tried his best not to think the same thoughts he did when his own father died.
"Sango, when my dad died, I was angry at the world, I thought it was everyone's fault they made me feel so, sad, depressed, alone, and unwanted. I'm sure I didn't feel as shunned as Inuyasha, but I did feel shunned in some ways. I became colder and colder as I grew older and older. In front of the girls I put on a happy buoyant face, a fake one. I allowed no one into my heart, I didn't change the way I acted. Little did I know that this was worse for me. My heart turned cold. I was unhappy and unloved. Until the day you, Kagome, Inuyasha, and Shippou appeared in my life. I found out we were all after Naraku in some way. I finally found out it was all Naraku's fault I was feeling this, not anyone else's. I forgave everyone, and I was going to hunt down Naraku and murder him, first I'd torture him the way he did to us. Then I'll kill him slowly. I couldn't let my heart break again, and so I built a wall and didn't let anyone in. You and everyone here broke it down, one by one, stone by stone. My heart was mended at last, I knew I could trust you with my love, so I let you guys enter my heart. You found a way in and when I was going to tell you I loved you, and when I was going to tell you my plans after we killed Naraku, you died on me. I know this is Naraku's fault also, so I'll NEVER forgive him. Even through eternity, every day he exists, every day I will hunt for him, until he's dead. Sango, I want to tell you, you entered my heart and sought out my feelings, I wanted to start a family with you when this is all over, but I guess it'll never happen, haha, I want to tell you.." Miroku whispered to Sango, as he struggled for the right words to say "I wanted to tell you that.that. I love you and I don't even want to think about another female, for you are the one who healed my heart, and you're there to stay. Sango, please listen to me! Sango!" Miroku whispered, his voice cracking beneath his emotions.
"Kagome, Inuyasha, Shippou. I want to thank you guys, you found the passage to my heart, you found the crack in the wall, and all of you found a warmth in my heart and melted the ice away. Please just wake up, wake up and let me tell you all how wonderful each of you are to me, how each of you make up a part of me, how if you guys died, each part of me dies along with you, please just open your eyes!"
Miroku enveloped all of them in one big, fierce hug, no perverted thoughts there. He missed them so bad, and then he felt it. His heart, it was feeling this pain, first a dull throbbing, then it took all his collective coolness to calm himself down and think straight. He couldn't bear the pain, it felt as if every part of his heart was being ripped, twisted and demented. Everything was spinning, he grabbed onto his friends tightly and his surroundings were spinning. Each of his friends owned a part of his heart, and if they died that part was literally ripped out, he couldn't see them leave, he didn't even help! It's his fault they died, it's his entire fault. That was the last thought he thought about before he slipped off into the world of overwhelming darkness. The only thing he would think about was killing Naraku.
~*~ Back to Inuyasha's Problem ~*~
"Agh, Miroku!" Inuyasha cried as he flung himself away from Miroku's flying arms.
"Whoa, what's wrong! Calm down!" Inuyasha screamed pathetically, since Miroku couldn't hear a thing. "Wake up! Wait, why are you crying! Hey! Hello? Stop trying to whack me!" Inuyasha cried out to Miroku, while dodging something Miroku unconsciously thrown. Still. No. Luck.
~*~ Back to Miroku's Dream Sequence ~*~
"Ow, my head hurts. Why am I bleeding?" Miroku asked a little too carefree as he winced at the bruise that his head received from falling to the floor. "What!? Why am I BLEEDING??!?!?" Miroku cried as soon as his common senses pitched in.
"Sango! Inuyasha! Kagome! Shippou! What? Where are you guys! What the heck just happened."
Suddenly someone sneaks up behind him and. "BOO!"
"GAAAHH" Miroku screamed in a high girlie voice. When he noticed it was Sango he posed on an imaginary wall, acting very 'cool'. "Hey, what's up?"
Sango didn't acknowledge him and instead set Kirara at him. Seems as if Sango forgot about him..
"AAHHG Kirara! Down Kitty, down!!!" Miroku screamed as he ran around in circles. (~Sweat Drops~ ARRG this ISN'T funny!! Waah.)
Kirara disappears and Miroku is left alone with Sango. She looks at him not very concerned. Miroku tries to hug her but suddenly Naraku's Bees appear out of nowhere and attack him. 'Why can't I touch Sango? What kind of harsh reality IS this?' Miroku once again runs around going very dizzy. (The Tales of a Swirly-Eyed Perverted Houshi ^_^ Sorry RK fans, don't take offense, just needed to put that in there)
Finally giving up he runs back to Sango and hugs her. Sango topples back and
FLASH
Miroku opened his eyes after toppling on Sango with a triumph smile on his face. Then his expression changed to one of pure HORROR. One that suggests that you want to absolutely THROW-UP. He found out instead of hugging Sango, when he and Sango toppled over, Sango changed into none- other than NARAKU!
"GAAHH! Kami-sama! Why! Why are you so cruel! I'm tainted FOREVER! Couldn't you at least give me a FEMALE? And NOT someone who detaches it's own body- parts and is possibly of both genders! Or at least let me hug someone who is sure of his or her gender entity. KAMI-SAMA!" Miroku wailed as he hastily sprang away from Naraku, and wiped himself off, again and again, and again. Suddenly he slipped and fell on top of Naraku again, just to find out Naraku turned into Kouga!
(Sorry Kouga likers out there! I like Kouga also, but I needed to find someone, -.-" my stupid attempts at humor! Make me stop!)
"Oh great! As if Kouga is any better than Naraku! He is still male! I didn't ask you to take me so literally! Fine! At least make it a girl this time!"
The girls that Body changed into.
Kikyou.
"HELL NO!"
Ayame.
"Erg. ::Visible Shiver::"
Kaede.
"GAAAAHH!!" (Girlie Scream pierces the blackness)
Kagome.
"She's Inuyasha's woman!!! But-" (Thoughtful tone of voice)
Sango.
"Yay! My woman!"
"Who said I was your woman hentai!"
Miroku attempts to grope her and just when he's about to..
NARAKU!
"EEEWWWWW!!! Fine I'll stop! Just change it! AAAAAAAHHH"
~*~ Back to Inuyasha's Problem ~*~
"Okay. Miroku just screamed like a girl. What the HELL is he dreaming about, and why did he just mumble 'Kagome'!!! She's MY woman! Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. MINE! :P"
Light bulb on Inuyasha's head literally flickers back to life. You can tell it hasn't been used for a LONG time, there is cobwebs all over it. ¤Snickers¤ A small snickering noise could be heard through out the room. The snickering soon came to be a laugh, a barking laughter, a howling laughter, and finally a maniac laughter. o___o;; One. Scary. Hanyou. Is. About. To. Launch. One. Sinister. Plan.
~*~ Back to Miroku's Dream Sequence ~*~
Miroku hastily got up and groaned again. This was going nowhere. He had no idea how he got here, he was lost, and forgot what he was planning to do, what's worst is that he is stuck with a very dangerous, 2 gender, EVIL plan-plotter guy. Great. Just great. He froze for one moment. This weird maniac laughter was ringing very faintly. Miroku dismissed it quickly when suddenly Naraku snapped opened his eyes. Miroku visibly cringed. 'Mommy!!'
"Miroku." The low creepy voice said.
"AAHGG I have a future, a life, and a goal, please leave me alone!! MOMMY!!" There wasn't any respond for a few minutes and Miroku opened his eyes. Sango was there NOT Naraku. Phew.
Lecherous thoughts were getting to him once again, this guy never stops does he? He almost got to touching Sango when.
~*~ Back to Inuyasha's Maniac Plan ~*~
You could see the wheels in the hanyou's head turning. (Inuyasha fans, please don't take offense).
A little bubble appeared over his head, presumably his thoughts.
Miroku.
Lecherous.
+
Sango.
Makes a move to touch him.
=
Jolt
"MWAHAHA I got the best plan in the world but Sango will hate me for this, but.oh wells!"
Inuyasha laughed as he attempts in dragging Sango across the space separating Miroku and her.
~*~ Back to Miroku's Dream Sequence ~*~
Miroku is WAY across the room from Naraku. Naraku is on one side while Miroku was on the other. He made sure that there was exactly 10 feet of space between them.
Miroku's thoughts as he stares of into space.
' (Sighs) I wish Sango would show me SOME sign of liking me or attempting to get near me (Perverted thoughts entering head.) If she ever did then I'll be the happiest man alive, hell. I could wake from the dead if Sango touched me if I happen to be dead. And where am I any ways. I DON'T want to be stuck here with this weirdo. If this is a dream, it's got to be my worst nightmare'
~*~ Back to Inuyasha's Maniac Plan ~*~
After much work Inuyasha FINALLY dragged Sango next to Miroku.
'Good, phase one completed. Phase 2: Check if Sango is awake, if she is and finds out what I'm doing, I'm going to be in for the third class, express train ride, straight to hell, if there is one.'
Inuyasha pokes Sango on the forehead and opens her eye to see if she is awake. When inspection was over.
'Phase 3 in reviving perverted houshi.'
"God I don't believe I'm doing this, Miroku better NEVER tell ANYONE or I'm as good as dead!"
Slowly he put Miroku in a sitting position.
(Miroku's Dream scene)
'Why am I sitting up all of the sudden, wasn't I just lying down? This is getting weirder and weirder -.-'
(Inuyasha's Plan)
'Okay Miroku is sitting up. Now I just have to do this, I MUST or Miroku will never wake up.'
He places Sango in a sitting position similar to Miroku's and....
He makes SANGO HUG MIROKU in a tight embrace, like they were lovers separated for 10 years time.
Miroku felt a jolt going through his body, like a chain reaction that wakens all his senses after a deep sleep. He felt his heart beating against his chest, demanding what was going on. Miroku was feeling all light headed and in La La Land. Something was waking him from his deep sleep, and he groaned in protest. 'I'm tired let me sleep' He was aware that something warm was hugging him, almost cutting off his circulation. 'Wait a minute. Why was I asleep in the first place and what is that sweet fragrance, so familiar, and who is that hugging me? Wait a minute..'
Miroku's eyes snapped open. He was dimly aware of the cry that erupted and sharpened his senses more.
"AAGH Miroku! You're FINALLY awake! It took you long enough. You didn't have to SNAP open your eyes like that. I was wondering if my plan would wake you up and I was looking closely at you. Suddenly you just SNAPPED them open. Sheesh."
Miroku groaned. Who was that jabbering to him. Nothing made sense. He shook his head and took another big whiff of that fragrance. Then it hit him on the head.
It was SANGO that was latched on to him. It was Sango's fragrance!! And also it was Inuyasha talking!
"INUYASHA! What happened! What happened! Why was a sleeping? What happened to Naraku! I don't remember anything except for dropping onto the floor."
Inuyasha explained what happened and what Kagome told him.
He backtracked his thoughts.something was not right about this scene. Inuyasha was talking to him, he woke up, Shippou was still asleep, and Sango was latched on to him. Wait, Sango latched onto him! SANGO!
Miroku unlatched Sango and stared at her in disbelief.
"SANGO HUGGED ME! WAAH! THANK GOD THAT WAS A DREAM! I thought I was dead or something. What I said was true! I did wake up from the dead when Sango touched me! I feel so happy! You finally admitted your feelings for me, Miroku the strongest, cutest, most handsomest person alive!"
"Eh Miroku?"
"Yeah?"
"She's asleep. She didn't have ANY intentions of hugging you, or touching you at the least. I put her in that position so you would wake up. Figured your hormones/perverted ways would give a kick to your senses, and it did! Ain't I smart. But mark my words Miroku, you BETTER not tell her what I did!"
The words didn't seems to seep into Miroku yet as he happily hugged Sango like a little boy hugging his most treasured belonging. When it finally reached Miroku..
"Oh wells! I'll just tell her she unconsciously hugged me to death, because in her unconscious form she admitted her love for me! YAY! She can't deny that right, she's unconscious!"
"MIROKU! DON'T TELL HER ANYTHING ABOUT IT! SHE'S NOT AS DUMB AS THAT! She'll KNOW I made her hug you! If you tell her your so dead!!!"
"Lemme think. 1) Telling her that she hugged me when she was unconscious, and that she really loves me, the most irresistible guy on this planet 2) or not telling her at all, and not being able to see how she can deny her feelings.. Hrmm.so hard.can't..choose.but alas.I must.soooo I'll choose..1!!! Haha, poor you!" Miroku cried gleefully as he gins evilly at the menacing Inuyasha.
A/N: WAAAH I'm such a failure, I hate this chapter! It seems so stupid!! Aww god I suck soooo much! Can you give me some serious humor advice? Sorry for the long wait, I was reading RK, Marmalade Boy, and Miracle Girls, and Fushigi Yugi mangas. Forgive my deadly sin of torture, and please review me and give me your advice/flames for this chapter. Agh I bet I'm going to get so much flames for how stupid this chapter is! Waaah. That's it I'm going to go back to writing the sad parts. My talent is not writing humor! Ahhh help!

None of your friends are lying on the floor.
Then where are they?
I don't know, not on the floor at least.'
Miroku hesitantly opened his eyes and looked down. The expression on his face could have melted the happiest person alive. It could've made the happiest person have a emotional breakdown. And it took all Miroku had to stop himself from having one right then. His friends were on the ground, all battered and worn out. It seemed as if Inuyasha was blocking all 3 of them from the last blow, and succeeded but, it still penetrated the group.
"Wha-Why? Why wasn't I here?" Miroku said, his confused eyes searching them for answers.
Miroku sank slowly to the floor beside Sango. She looked as if she were sleeping, quiet peacefully, eyelids closed, but never opening again. Heart stopping, never beating again, lips closed never speaking again, hands besides her never slapping him again.
"Sango, why? Why did you leave? Why didn't you call me? Who did this. Sango! TELL ME!" Miroku said denying the real truth, shaking her frantically. Sango's head heaved back and forth between her shoulders, finally resting her chin on her chest, head bowed, when Miroku stopped shaking her. He pulled her into a fierce hug, burying his neck on the crook of her shoulder and neck, sobbing uncontrollably. He sobbed so hard both shook, under his emotional spasms. He quieted himself down and stared at Sango's face. He set her down gently and picked Kagome up and laid her down next to Sango, and same with Inuyasha and Shippou. He tried his best not to think the same thoughts he did when his own father died.
"Sango, when my dad died, I was angry at the world, I thought it was everyone's fault they made me feel so, sad, depressed, alone, and unwanted. I'm sure I didn't feel as shunned as Inuyasha, but I did feel shunned in some ways. I became colder and colder as I grew older and older. In front of the girls I put on a happy buoyant face, a fake one. I allowed no one into my heart, I didn't change the way I acted. Little did I know that this was worse for me. My heart turned cold. I was unhappy and unloved. Until the day you, Kagome, Inuyasha, and Shippou appeared in my life. I found out we were all after Naraku in some way. I finally found out it was all Naraku's fault I was feeling this, not anyone else's. I forgave everyone, and I was going to hunt down Naraku and murder him, first I'd torture him the way he did to us. Then I'll kill him slowly. I couldn't let my heart break again, and so I built a wall and didn't let anyone in. You and everyone here broke it down, one by one, stone by stone. My heart was mended at last, I knew I could trust you with my love, so I let you guys enter my heart. You found a way in and when I was going to tell you I loved you, and when I was going to tell you my plans after we killed Naraku, you died on me. I know this is Naraku's fault also, so I'll NEVER forgive him. Even through eternity, every day he exists, every day I will hunt for him, until he's dead. Sango, I want to tell you, you entered my heart and sought out my feelings, I wanted to start a family with you when this is all over, but I guess it'll never happen, haha, I want to tell you.." Miroku whispered to Sango, as he struggled for the right words to say "I wanted to tell you that.that. I love you and I don't even want to think about another female, for you are the one who healed my heart, and you're there to stay. Sango, please listen to me! Sango!" Miroku whispered, his voice cracking beneath his emotions.
"Kagome, Inuyasha, Shippou. I want to thank you guys, you found the passage to my heart, you found the crack in the wall, and all of you found a warmth in my heart and melted the ice away. Please just wake up, wake up and let me tell you all how wonderful each of you are to me, how each of you make up a part of me, how if you guys died, each part of me dies along with you, please just open your eyes!"
Miroku enveloped all of them in one big, fierce hug, no perverted thoughts there. He missed them so bad, and then he felt it. His heart, it was feeling this pain, first a dull throbbing, then it took all his collective coolness to calm himself down and think straight. He couldn't bear the pain, it felt as if every part of his heart was being ripped, twisted and demented. Everything was spinning, he grabbed onto his friends tightly and his surroundings were spinning. Each of his friends owned a part of his heart, and if they died that part was literally ripped out, he couldn't see them leave, he didn't even help! It's his fault they died, it's his entire fault. That was the last thought he thought about before he slipped off into the world of overwhelming darkness. The only thing he would think about was killing Naraku.
~*~ Back to Inuyasha's Problem ~*~
"Agh, Miroku!" Inuyasha cried as he flung himself away from Miroku's flying arms.
"Whoa, what's wrong! Calm down!" Inuyasha screamed pathetically, since Miroku couldn't hear a thing. "Wake up! Wait, why are you crying! Hey! Hello? Stop trying to whack me!" Inuyasha cried out to Miroku, while dodging something Miroku unconsciously thrown. Still. No. Luck.
~*~ Back to Miroku's Dream Sequence ~*~
"Ow, my head hurts. Why am I bleeding?" Miroku asked a little too carefree as he winced at the bruise that his head received from falling to the floor. "What!? Why am I BLEEDING??!?!?" Miroku cried as soon as his common senses pitched in.
"Sango! Inuyasha! Kagome! Shippou! What? Where are you guys! What the heck just happened."
Suddenly someone sneaks up behind him and. "BOO!"
"GAAAHH" Miroku screamed in a high girlie voice. When he noticed it was Sango he posed on an imaginary wall, acting very 'cool'. "Hey, what's up?"
Sango didn't acknowledge him and instead set Kirara at him. Seems as if Sango forgot about him..
"AAHHG Kirara! Down Kitty, down!!!" Miroku screamed as he ran around in circles. (~Sweat Drops~ ARRG this ISN'T funny!! Waah.)
Kirara disappears and Miroku is left alone with Sango. She looks at him not very concerned. Miroku tries to hug her but suddenly Naraku's Bees appear out of nowhere and attack him. 'Why can't I touch Sango? What kind of harsh reality IS this?' Miroku once again runs around going very dizzy. (The Tales of a Swirly-Eyed Perverted Houshi ^_^ Sorry RK fans, don't take offense, just needed to put that in there)
Finally giving up he runs back to Sango and hugs her. Sango topples back and
FLASH
Miroku opened his eyes after toppling on Sango with a triumph smile on his face. Then his expression changed to one of pure HORROR. One that suggests that you want to absolutely THROW-UP. He found out instead of hugging Sango, when he and Sango toppled over, Sango changed into none- other than NARAKU!
"GAAHH! Kami-sama! Why! Why are you so cruel! I'm tainted FOREVER! Couldn't you at least give me a FEMALE? And NOT someone who detaches it's own body- parts and is possibly of both genders! Or at least let me hug someone who is sure of his or her gender entity. KAMI-SAMA!" Miroku wailed as he hastily sprang away from Naraku, and wiped himself off, again and again, and again. Suddenly he slipped and fell on top of Naraku again, just to find out Naraku turned into Kouga!
(Sorry Kouga likers out there! I like Kouga also, but I needed to find someone, -.-" my stupid attempts at humor! Make me stop!)
"Oh great! As if Kouga is any better than Naraku! He is still male! I didn't ask you to take me so literally! Fine! At least make it a girl this time!"
The girls that Body changed into.
Kikyou.
"HELL NO!"
Ayame.
"Erg. ::Visible Shiver::"
Kaede.
"GAAAAHH!!" (Girlie Scream pierces the blackness)
Kagome.
"She's Inuyasha's woman!!! But-" (Thoughtful tone of voice)
Sango.
"Yay! My woman!"
"Who said I was your woman hentai!"
Miroku attempts to grope her and just when he's about to..
NARAKU!
"EEEWWWWW!!! Fine I'll stop! Just change it! AAAAAAAHHH"
~*~ Back to Inuyasha's Problem ~*~
"Okay. Miroku just screamed like a girl. What the HELL is he dreaming about, and why did he just mumble 'Kagome'!!! She's MY woman! Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. MINE! :P"
Light bulb on Inuyasha's head literally flickers back to life. You can tell it hasn't been used for a LONG time, there is cobwebs all over it. ¤Snickers¤ A small snickering noise could be heard through out the room. The snickering soon came to be a laugh, a barking laughter, a howling laughter, and finally a maniac laughter. o___o;; One. Scary. Hanyou. Is. About. To. Launch. One. Sinister. Plan.
~*~ Back to Miroku's Dream Sequence ~*~
Miroku hastily got up and groaned again. This was going nowhere. He had no idea how he got here, he was lost, and forgot what he was planning to do, what's worst is that he is stuck with a very dangerous, 2 gender, EVIL plan-plotter guy. Great. Just great. He froze for one moment. This weird maniac laughter was ringing very faintly. Miroku dismissed it quickly when suddenly Naraku snapped opened his eyes. Miroku visibly cringed. 'Mommy!!'
"Miroku." The low creepy voice said.
"AAHGG I have a future, a life, and a goal, please leave me alone!! MOMMY!!" There wasn't any respond for a few minutes and Miroku opened his eyes. Sango was there NOT Naraku. Phew.
Lecherous thoughts were getting to him once again, this guy never stops does he? He almost got to touching Sango when.
~*~ Back to Inuyasha's Maniac Plan ~*~
You could see the wheels in the hanyou's head turning. (Inuyasha fans, please don't take offense).
A little bubble appeared over his head, presumably his thoughts.
Miroku.
Lecherous.
+
Sango.
Makes a move to touch him.
=
Jolt
"MWAHAHA I got the best plan in the world but Sango will hate me for this, but.oh wells!"
Inuyasha laughed as he attempts in dragging Sango across the space separating Miroku and her.
~*~ Back to Miroku's Dream Sequence ~*~
Miroku is WAY across the room from Naraku. Naraku is on one side while Miroku was on the other. He made sure that there was exactly 10 feet of space between them.
Miroku's thoughts as he stares of into space.
' (Sighs) I wish Sango would show me SOME sign of liking me or attempting to get near me (Perverted thoughts entering head.) If she ever did then I'll be the happiest man alive, hell. I could wake from the dead if Sango touched me if I happen to be dead. And where am I any ways. I DON'T want to be stuck here with this weirdo. If this is a dream, it's got to be my worst nightmare'
~*~ Back to Inuyasha's Maniac Plan ~*~
After much work Inuyasha FINALLY dragged Sango next to Miroku.
'Good, phase one completed. Phase 2: Check if Sango is awake, if she is and finds out what I'm doing, I'm going to be in for the third class, express train ride, straight to hell, if there is one.'
Inuyasha pokes Sango on the forehead and opens her eye to see if she is awake. When inspection was over.
'Phase 3 in reviving perverted houshi.'
"God I don't believe I'm doing this, Miroku better NEVER tell ANYONE or I'm as good as dead!"
Slowly he put Miroku in a sitting position.
(Miroku's Dream scene)
'Why am I sitting up all of the sudden, wasn't I just lying down? This is getting weirder and weirder -.-'
(Inuyasha's Plan)
'Okay Miroku is sitting up. Now I just have to do this, I MUST or Miroku will never wake up.'
He places Sango in a sitting position similar to Miroku's and....
He makes SANGO HUG MIROKU in a tight embrace, like they were lovers separated for 10 years time.
Miroku felt a jolt going through his body, like a chain reaction that wakens all his senses after a deep sleep. He felt his heart beating against his chest, demanding what was going on. Miroku was feeling all light headed and in La La Land. Something was waking him from his deep sleep, and he groaned in protest. 'I'm tired let me sleep' He was aware that something warm was hugging him, almost cutting off his circulation. 'Wait a minute. Why was I asleep in the first place and what is that sweet fragrance, so familiar, and who is that hugging me? Wait a minute..'
Miroku's eyes snapped open. He was dimly aware of the cry that erupted and sharpened his senses more.
"AAGH Miroku! You're FINALLY awake! It took you long enough. You didn't have to SNAP open your eyes like that. I was wondering if my plan would wake you up and I was looking closely at you. Suddenly you just SNAPPED them open. Sheesh."
Miroku groaned. Who was that jabbering to him. Nothing made sense. He shook his head and took another big whiff of that fragrance. Then it hit him on the head.
It was SANGO that was latched on to him. It was Sango's fragrance!! And also it was Inuyasha talking!
"INUYASHA! What happened! What happened! Why was a sleeping? What happened to Naraku! I don't remember anything except for dropping onto the floor."
Inuyasha explained what happened and what Kagome told him.
He backtracked his thoughts.something was not right about this scene. Inuyasha was talking to him, he woke up, Shippou was still asleep, and Sango was latched on to him. Wait, Sango latched onto him! SANGO!
Miroku unlatched Sango and stared at her in disbelief.
"SANGO HUGGED ME! WAAH! THANK GOD THAT WAS A DREAM! I thought I was dead or something. What I said was true! I did wake up from the dead when Sango touched me! I feel so happy! You finally admitted your feelings for me, Miroku the strongest, cutest, most handsomest person alive!"
"Eh Miroku?"
"Yeah?"
"She's asleep. She didn't have ANY intentions of hugging you, or touching you at the least. I put her in that position so you would wake up. Figured your hormones/perverted ways would give a kick to your senses, and it did! Ain't I smart. But mark my words Miroku, you BETTER not tell her what I did!"
The words didn't seems to seep into Miroku yet as he happily hugged Sango like a little boy hugging his most treasured belonging. When it finally reached Miroku..
"Oh wells! I'll just tell her she unconsciously hugged me to death, because in her unconscious form she admitted her love for me! YAY! She can't deny that right, she's unconscious!"
"MIROKU! DON'T TELL HER ANYTHING ABOUT IT! SHE'S NOT AS DUMB AS THAT! She'll KNOW I made her hug you! If you tell her your so dead!!!"
"Lemme think. 1) Telling her that she hugged me when she was unconscious, and that she really loves me, the most irresistible guy on this planet 2) or not telling her at all, and not being able to see how she can deny her feelings.. Hrmm.so hard.can't..choose.but alas.I must.soooo I'll choose..1!!! Haha, poor you!" Miroku cried gleefully as he gins evilly at the menacing Inuyasha.
A/N: WAAAH I'm such a failure, I hate this chapter! It seems so stupid!! Aww god I suck soooo much! Can you give me some serious humor advice? Sorry for the long wait, I was reading RK, Marmalade Boy, and Miracle Girls, and Fushigi Yugi mangas. Forgive my deadly sin of torture, and please review me and give me your advice/flames for this chapter. Agh I bet I'm going to get so much flames for how stupid this chapter is! Waaah. That's it I'm going to go back to writing the sad parts. My talent is not writing humor! Ahhh help!
