I am very sorry all, for taking so long to get this out. Life has been throwing curve balls at me, making it tough to get my thoughts in order. But here is the first (but short…) chapter in Miroku's Curse, the second in what I hope to be a three or even four story line. I have so many things going on in my life right now, that updates will be few and far between, but I will get this story done, and I hope it won't take too long. As some of you might know, my muse has a body, yet no name… and since I have no idea what to name her, I am hoping that one of you faithful readers will. The bio for me has changed, so ya might wanna check that out, since that is where the bio for my muse is.

*****

Now, this is the sequel to Sesshoumaru's Curse, which takes place when Kagome and Inuyasha, etc. have almost half of the jewel shards. I wont be focusing so much on the shard hunt, as the different reactions with what is going on. Yes, this is humor, but there will be serious undertones as well. Yes, this is romance, so expect lots of fluff. I am in a fluff writing mode for a while… Hehe…

One more thing, when I get to uploading chapter four, the following update will not be a chapter!!! It will be a review response to all of the reviews I have gotten since the end of Sesshoumaru's Curse, all the way to chapter four of this. I believe that is all I have to address right now, so have a good day, and please leave a review to tell me how I am doing…

*****************************************************************************************************************

Miroku lay on the comfortable bed, in the large room that he had gotten for their group. The older man that owned this place had been eager to get rid of the evil "spirits" that haunted his inn, in exchange for food and rooms. A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts and he pushed himself up to answer it. Sango stood before him, dressed in a more formal kimono then he had ever seen her wear. "Sango, you look amazing…" he murmured, examining her. "Absolutely exquisite…."

Sango blushed, and he let her in. "I just was wondering if you would want to talk to me…" she said softly. "About what happened earlier…" She looked down in embarrassment.

"Hai Sango?" Miroku barely retrained his lecherous grin.

"Remember when Kagome died…almost died?" A nod. "And what she said before?" Another nod. "Well, houshi-sama?"

Miroku let the smile creep on to his lips. "Sango, why do you insist on calling me houshi-sama? The entire group has been traveling for almost three years now, and you still call me that."

Sango shrugged uncomfortably. "I don't know…It…"

Miroku tipped her head up. "If you can answer why you always call me that, then I will stop asking every woman I meet to bear my child…" He offered, taking her hand in his. "And I will tell you what I told Kagome…"

Sango felt her heart pound in her chest, as she stared into his violet eyes, gulping. A sudden knock on the door made them both jump in surprise. A young girl of about 17 stood there, with auburn hair that reached down to her waist, and light green eyes. In a soft voice said, "My Lord Ryuu invites you to dinner now, if you so wish to come Sango-sama, Houshi-sama."

Miroku let Sango's hand go, and followed, forgetting about what they had been talking about, in favor of the young girl who seemed to be a goddess, with her beauty. Of course, no one compares to Sango…He thought amused. Then he froze in horror. Sango! He silently hissed, turning around to see her running toward Inuyasha's and Kagome's rooms.

"It's too late Miroku…" Came the voice of the girl. He turned to her, and watched as she shook her head. "I actually thought that you had a chance with that girl, but no, you and your hardheadedness made it all impossible. If you had not gotten so distracted over a girl-child, then you might have the woman you are so in love with…" She gave a mischievous smile. "I think I shall 'help' you on your way…"

Miroku's violet eyes widened. "What do you mean?" He inquired, nervous of the girl-child before him.

"I curse you…" The girl giggled, clapping her hands in amusement at her first three words. "Ohhhh. Those words send shivers up my spine every time! I curse you to have every woman you meet fall in love with you. Should you not realize what a true treasure is, in one months time, then you will lose something very dear…Good luck!"

A flash of blue light, and Miroku fell to his knees, and then collapsed in to unconsciousness.

Kagome shivered, as she felt the rush of power flow through her veins. Inuyasha looked over from where he was digging through her bag, and then frowned. "Kag? What's wrong?" He asked, as she froze. "Kag?" His voice rose in volume.

"Where's Miroku?" Kagome asked, softly. "I must speak with him."

Inuyasha frowned, "Oi! What is your problem?" he walked over, and stood in front of her. "Hellooooo?" He cocked his head when he noticed her eyes were glassy and her breathing slower then usual. "Oi! Wench! WAKE UUUUUPPPP!" He shook her gently, and she seemed to snap out of it. "Why do you need to see Miroku? What was wrong with you just a second ago?"

Kagome turned a bright and cheery face up to the half demon, and her eyes sparkled as she chirped, "I'm in love with him, I have to see him!"

*

Sango had been sitting in her own room instead of heading for her best friends'. Tears tracked down her cheeks as she sat on her bed. "Why? What am I doing wrong?"

A sudden flow of energy hit her body, and she winced. "Nani?" She whispered confused. Then her eyes turned glassy for a moment, and she murmured. "Miroku…"

Hope you enjoyed, and please review, I need to know how I am doing, and plus, my mom and I have a competition going, to see who can get more reviews. My mom's current story is like 67 chapters long, and she hasn't even posted all the ones she has written. Her name on here is Krismarief, and she writes mostly 'Stargate SG-1' and 'Buffy' stories, with a smattering of others. Right now, she has almost 160, and I am at 260 in Sesshoumaru's Curse. But she has another story coming out, but she wont tell me when…so please review, both if ya want!
