Anyone notice how fanfiction.net is being a pain in the ass right now? Some days it just wont come up, and others it works. I didn't know that websites suffered from PMS too…
Chapter 5
(Third Day)
Miroku kept walking as Sango trotted behind him, Kirara on her shoulder, while the unnamed neko bounded forward past the monk. "Did you start the fire?" Miroku asked rhetorically, scooping the demon up with a quizzical look on his youthful face. The fiery neko hissed lightly, and leaped out of his arms, to land softly, and twitch his tail in irritation. "Hn. Doesn't seem to be so friendly." Miroku murmured, glancing back at Sango who was gazing at him with nearly visible stars of adoration in her eyes.
"I'm sure he will warm up to you," Sango assured, linking arms with him, which was slightly awkward with her gigantic boomerang. "After all, you are an extremely likeable person, who is strong, courageous, charming, and handsome." Sango laid her head on his shoulder, and carefully made her way past the various roots and such in her path. "I love you, you know that right?"
Miroku stopped, violet eyes wide in disbelief.
Those words…I've wanted to hear them for so damn long, but now…it's the spell talking, not Sango…How cruel fate is…Miroku rolled his eyes in exasperation, and took Sango's hand, kissing the inside of her wrist with a smile. "Sango, as much as I love those words, I fear that I can not accept the full meaning, for that would-"
"Get your hands off of my man!" A shrill voice made both jump, and Sango whirl around, hand at the ready for her Hiraikotsu. What they saw made Sango bristle, and Miroku send a silent prayer out to any gods that happened to be feeling nice at that particular moment in time. A young girl stood there, hands on hips, and scowling deeply. She looked about fourteen, but, then again, looks could be deceiving. "And Rasiel, what are you doing, following them around?!" The neko youkai sniffed noncommittally, and sat down, his tail curling around him, and began to lick his paw, clearly ignoring the lot of them.
Miroku glanced back and forth, all the while aware of the tight grip that Sango had on his arm, and the tenseness emanating from the young woman. "Er…My lady, do I…know you?"
"No- but you will in a minute." The young girl sniffed haughtily, and sashayed over to him, swaying her hips. "My name is Sakura, and that is my cat, and you are my man!" She crossed her arms, and Sango surveyed her with barely veiled disgust. Long blonde hair, pulled up by a leather thong, with light brown eyes, and a light spatter of freckles on her dainty little nose. She wore a fancy kimono, and she was obviously of high stature from the many rings and jewelry on her slender hands. The demon slayer rolled her eyes.
"Oh please…You can't be serious…" Sango laughed lowly, her fingertips lingering over her long, thin swords. "I would swipe your petty little head-"
"All right ladies!" Miroku exclaimed hurriedly, placing himself between the two, and waving his hands. "Now, I'm sure that we can settle this like- oh for the love of Kami!" Sakura darted around him, and screamed out another word, and a ball of indigo light flashed toward Sango. The huntress jumped aside and drew her sword with a hiss of steel against hard wood. Another bright flash from Sakura, this time, crimson aimed toward the older girl. Sango was slammed against the tree, and slumped down, her head falling against her chest, breathing slowly.
Rasiel yowled angrily, and darted forward, transforming in to his larger form, as Kirara followed quickly. "Yasindir!" Sakura screamed, and a bright light enveloped the two youkai, sending them flying as well. Miroku drew ofuda out from the folds of his robes, and threw them at the girl, who froze as they landed on her expensive kimono. The girls eyes darted back and forth, panicking visibly, even though she was frozen, her lips parted slightly, and she swallowed convulsively. Miroku took a final glance, making sure that she was sealed so she could not hope to escape, and then hurried to Sango.
"Sango- Sango wake up! Sango!" Miroku scooped her up, and shot a dirty look at the girl. Kirara and Rasiel were regaining consciousness, and they stumbled over to the two humans, growling lowly. "Can one of you take Sango somewhere safe, and then come back and get me? I need to…take care of something…"
Rasiel cocked his head, but seemed to understand the monk's soft request, and transformed. Gently Miroku set the older woman on his back, and turned to the petrified girl. "I do not care, that you are under the influence of a spell, but you shall not attack someone with out just reason. And attacking a youkai, a neko youkai, was plain stupidity. What in the seven hells were you thinking?" The girl rolled her eyes, and tried to move her mouth. It became apparent what was going on when Miroku remembered the ofuda. "If I take these off, you must swear to not run away, or I will have Kirara rip you to pieces." Thought the threat was empty, the girl did not know that by the frightened and angry look in her light brown eyes. She nodded her head a bit, and Miroku reached over to pull of the small scrolls.
"You have created an enemy this day, love, and you will regret it…for if I am not able to have you…no woman shall." Sakura bit out, jaw clenching tightly. Miroku ground his teeth together, and held a snarling Kirara back with his staff. Sakura pointed her index finger at the furious monk, and stated angrily. "Be warned, you will not win against me, I am not someone you can trifle with. Asdur!" Sakura vanished, and Miroku hit his staff against the forest floor in anger.
Kirara growled lowly, and let Miroku mount her back, and then took off, sniffing for Rasiel's scent. They soon found them, almost a quarter mile away, with the male youkai standing protectively over the fallen demon huntress. Landing softly, Miroku dismounted, and knelt beside Sango. Please let her be alright…
* Kagome, Sesshoumaru And Inuyasha.
Kagome focused her energy in to the small sapphires, making them glow brilliantly, before the light faded, and the gems were normal again, except for the small blue fire that burned inside. Sesshoumaru had brought the jewels when Kagome had suggested that she might know how to make a protection seal against the spell that made them fall in love with the monk. The charmed sapphires were hooked to gold necklaces, and then placed around both girl's necks. Fingering the small jewel, Kagome probed it with her miko energy, making sure that the power was secure and if anything should happen, it would not explode with purifying energy, and purify all of the youkai in the nearby vicinity, including Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru.
"Well?" Inuyasha asked impatiently, tapping his foot. Kagome smiled a bit, and shrugged.
"I don't think there is any chance of it blowing up, but there is no possible way to be one hundred percent sure. I am almost positive that is safe though."
"Well why did ya want sapphires? Wouldn't a regular rock work just as well?" Inuyasha tapped the hard jewel that Kagome held up in her hand.
Kagome smiled, "In the short time that I was trained with Kaede, she told me that sapphires have the greatest capability to hold a large amount of miko magic without shattering or breaking. So, I figure that it was better to be safe then sorry." Kagome watched Rin hold it up to the sun, and then as the rays glinted off the shiny surface. "Sesshoumaru, where did you manage to get the jewels? Oh- never mind…" Kagome shook her head, not wanting to know how he got the two jewels. "You didn't kill anyone did you?"
Sesshoumaru gave her a level look, and said nothing. "Oh. Bad question…" Kagome uttered softly, turning to her hanyou companion. "Well, I think that we should get going, to make sure that nothing happened to either Miroku-sama, or Sango-chan. I don't want to have a rude surprise when we get back, like Sango-chan pregnant or something…I don't know what possessed you two bumbling fools to leave those two alone-"
"Alright! Kagome- that's enough!" Inuyasha snapped, grabbing a hold of her forearms, and bringing them close. Kagome gasped, and stiffened as she was drawn flush against his body. The younger woman stared up, a bit of fear tinting her scent, and he growled lowly. "I am tired of you ranting and raving just because we made a mistake! You were not capable of making a decision, and Kami knows Rin wasn't. We don't need your shi- crap about how we acted, when you were not even in your right mind. We made a mistake, but damn it, we're gonna learn from it- and you can stop-" A second later, he bent down, and crushed his lips against hers, pulling her tightly against him. Sesshoumaru pulled Rin close, and covered her eyes, as the two kissed hungrily.
"If you two could pull yourselves back to this world, I believe that it would be best to leave." Sesshoumaru stated in a bored voice. Kagome pulled away slowly, breathing hard, and smiling warmly.
"Gomen…" She breathed, before he hugged her close, and then released her. "Lets go."

Gods, I'm sorry for the short chapters, but trust me, they get longer later on. Now, I was wondering if anyone would like to do art for any of my stories. I am curious to see what people imagine some of the scenes look like, and I think it would be cool. If interested, please email me, or leave a review, and I'll get back to you. Also, I've started an email-list-thing, where I will email you every time I update, so you don't have to guess when I'll stop being lazy! If interested in that, leave your email, and I'll add you!
I don't have a lot of time for responses, but if I don't get to you today, I will next update, I promise!

Ghoul King- I bet being undead has its perks, but I prefer life. :D Anyway, I know, my chapters need to be longer, and it ticks me off too….*sigh* I'm trying, really I am!
SessRin- SessRin, where are you? Have you forgotten about meeee? I'm hurt!
Blackfire*101- Thanks for the advice, but my nicknames…are odd. I'm called the Squishy One by most people who know me. You ever seen Finding Nemo? It's the little jelly fish. Yeah…
\\\\
Also, before I forget, is there anyone interested in becoming a beta reader for me? I had one, but I think her computer got permanently fried. If you are interested, please tell me. I would like for the person to be able to speak English very well, and for them to be able to give me advice on how to better my writing skills. I'm kinda picky on who is my beta, F.Y.I.…
If you have any questions, I will try to answer them to the best of my ability!! Talk to you all later, and please leave a review!
Thanks!
Crimson Demon
