Miroku's Accident
When I came around again, I noticed that I was in a small room. My arms and legs were still tied with that strong rope and there were fairly strong youkai wards keeping me in this room.
"Must be that dang guy I saw. He looked like some sort of monk." I looked around some more and found the guy I was thinking about in one corner of the room on the other side of the wards. The other corner had that girl that put this rope on me.
I growled quietly at the irritation of being caught by a lowly human. Even if I am injured like I am, I should have been able to get away from her.
I tried to get up but fell back down. The ropes on my legs were too close together to allow me any movement.
"I'll fix that though. All I have to do is get my claws a little lower to the legs." I thought as I struggled with the rope. I jerked my head up when I heard someone coming into the room. The cover over the room was pushed to the side as the old hag I saw earlier came in.
"Miroku, Sango, I need your help gathering some herbs. Shippo is gathering more clean water for Inuyasha's wounds, so I can't have him gather them." The old hag was looking over at the girl as she said it.
She got up and nodded. "I'll help you gather the herbs. Miroku, please stay here and make sure Inuyasha doesn't get out."
The monk got up, "But Sango, don't you need some company as you help Kaede out?"
"I'll be fine Miroku. Besides, if I let you go with me, all you will do is grope me."
"Of course I wouldn't Sango. I would never do that." He said as he got closer to the girl, he moved his hand to her back where it wasn't suppose to be, like that other time I saw him do it.
Smack! It echoed around the room as the girl hit the guy on the head with the over sized boomerang. The guy lay twitching on the ground rubbing his head.
"You see? You can't even contain yourself in here, Miroku. You stay here and I'll go with Kaede. Besides, someone needs to make sure Inuyasha doesn't do anything we don't expect." She turned around and went out the door. "Come on Kaede, we should do this fast. I don't know if Miroku is determined enough to keep watch when I'm gone."
The old hag nodded and followed the girl out. She gave one last look at the monk, shook her head, and went out the door.
During the entire conversation, I was slowly cutting through the blasted rope and it was taking forever to get it done. I finally finished cutting the ropes to my legs so it still looked like it was on about ten minutes after they left. I had the rope weak enough to snap easily when I forced my legs apart but that would be later after I got the ropes around my wrists done.
I saw the monk get into a sitting position on the other side of the barrier again. I took that as a sign that he didn't notice yet and started to try and loosen the ones around my wrists while keeping an eye on the monk. I occasionally got it a little but if it didn't happen more often it would take hours to get it off. And I didn't have hours.
The monk sighed in the corner and rubbed his head. Probably still feeling a throb from that boomerang. I wouldn't worry about that if I were him, though. He should be more worried about me killing him. But he didn't know that yet.
I felt the rope loosening around my wrists just five minutes later and smirked. They were weak enough to be snapped off along with the other ones around my legs. I shifted my self so I would be able to get up fast and lunge through the barrier as quickly as possible. It would hurt a lot to go through the barrier, but the pain doesn't matter. The point is to rip out that monk's throat. That gave me another smile on my face. The anticipation of killing that monk and feeling his blood on my claws was exciting.
I was about ready to lunge at him when a thought crossed my mined. "Kagome would never talk to me again if I killed him."
"What am I thinking? Why would I care about Kagome? I don't even know the kid."
"Yes you do and you care for her a lot." A little voice in my head said.
"Shut up. I don't know her and I don't want to know about someone who is friends with them." As I thought that, I got ready for the lunge again, thinking I won the inner battle.
"Then why do your eyes keep straying to her stuff?" The inner voice said again.
"They are not…." I noticed that my eyes were eyeing a backpack that was leaning against a wall near the corner. The scent coming off of it was distracting now that the dang voice in my head told me what I was doing.
It smelled nice to my nose and I couldn't keep my eyes off the blasted bag. I growled at myself. The inner voice was mocking me the entire time and if I could have ripped it out without killing myself, I would have.
I decided that I would be able to ignore it when I started to slowly kill this monk. I lunged through the barrier and the monk jerked up, startled at the scene unfolding before him. The rope along my wrists and legs snapped as easily as I thought it would and the barrier slowed me down only a little bit. Some part of my mind screamed at the amount of pain it was feeling at forcing a broken arm and leg to work as well as going through the barrier. I ignored the feeling and struck at the monk's chest.
The monk held up his staff and blocked my attack and tried to do a sideswipe at me but I dodged the attempt and sunk my claws into his shoulder. He cringed in pain and stumbled back after my swipe was complete. I smiled, thrilled at the feeling it gave me.
I charged him again before he could recover and struck my hand straight through his chest. His eyes widened in pain as I almost grabbed the heart to pull it out. He was lucky though, because a sword swung at me, forcing me to back up before I could finish the move.
The monk collapsed to the ground with his left hand covering the wound I made in his chest. His eyes were clamped shut in pain and he was breathing sharply, probably in shock.
The girl who had swung the sword at me ran towards the monk's body.
"Miroku" she said as she knelt down and shook his body.
All the monk did was hold his chest tighter where the hole was. He did open his eyes slightly but he was in too much pain to say anything. There was a big puddle of blood on the floor where the monk laid and it was getting bigger slowly.
I charged at the girl, hoping to get her while she was distracted. The monk pushed her out of the way before I could get her, making me sink my claws into his back instead of hers. Oh well, I got one of them. I turned to the girl as she screamed out the monk's name again.
Before I could charge again, a weird powder started to fill the room.
I started coughing and covered my nose. I looked around, still coughing slightly, trying to find the source of the powder. I saw that the dang kitsune was throwing the powder at me. The kitsune had a piece of cloth covering his nose so the powder wouldn't affect him as well. I charged at him with my claws out stretched and he yelped and ran for his life. He threw more of the powder at me, making me stop before I could swipe at him. It made me start coughing again. I was going to continue after him when I noticed that I was falling to the ground from all the coughing. I wasn't getting enough oxygen to keep standing with all the coughing I was doing. I was having a hard time breathing with the coughing as well making me unable to even focus my eyes. I tried to get up but my body wouldn't even respond.
The girl that was over by the monk came over and started to tie me up again quickly. I growled at her but it turned into a cough as I inhaled more of that powder. The coughing was starting to make my body shake and it made me feel like I wasn't breathing. I started to try and catch my breath but the powder was everywhere and so it made me cough even harder. The girl noticed that I was starting to not breath enough and was losing oxygen too fast. She picked me up and brought me to the other side of the barrier and set me on the make shift bed.
I tried to struggle, but I couldn't move at all and was just starting to catch my breath. The girl turned around and went to help the old hag treat the monk
I saw the blurred form of the old hag treating the monk that was unconscious from the lack of blood. The girl knelt down next to the old hag and started to make more cream for the wounds so it would heal faster. I wonder if that monk will survive. If he does, I can play with him some more when I have the chance.
"Sango, what should I do?" the kitsune asked, looking at the girl. The Kitsune walked in a little after the girl started to make the cream.
"You can tie Inuyasha to the bed, Shippo."
The kitsune nodded and ran over to me after grabbing some more rope. He then tied me to where I was. The bed was more like a futon with a blanket than an actual bed, so the kitsune was roping it all the way around the bed.
"Will Miroku be okay Kaede?" the girl who was helping the old hag asked with worry evident on her face.
The monk's bandages were done, but there was blood already showing on them. The one on his chest was leaking blood already.
Kaede just looked at the girl sadly.
Oh man this is the biggest chapter yet. I am so proud. I think I am getting better at writing this story as well. I mean, I am actually quite happy on how this chapter went, which is rare.
Sorry about not telling on what happened to Kagome in this chapter like I told you I would. I just thought of this and couldn't resist. I will try my best to mention it soon. It will probably be mentioned within the next two chapters.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. The next chapter will have someone's death. I am not telling who it is. It could be anyone.
