Hikaru?
"What do you think you are doing Miroku?" Sango asks the amorous monk as he is 'teaching' some of the village girls how to protect themselves against unwanted male attention. (How Ironic huh?) Of course the village girls are eating this up and laughing and flirting with the deceiving monk. "I m rendering my services as a man of the cloth, these girl need to know how to protect themselves, as I am a bit experienced in the ways of battle, I could teach them." Miroku replied with an innocent tone. "Yeah right, that's what you're doing alright!" Inuyasha spat at him, rolling his eyes, "Aaaarrgghh!!" was heard as Sango stomped off into the village. After enjoying a plentiful meal, Shippou asked Kagome if she would color with him again, nodding she began to put out the book and its supplies asking him to drag her sleeping bag over by the door so they'd have light to see. "Ok." Shippou chirped happily as he padded over to the blanket and drug it to the door. "I like coloring Kagome, its fun, but you always make everything better." He smiled at her and gave her a big hug, "Well thanks Shippou, I like doing stuff with you too." smiling back at the kit in her arms. They then began their task and colored many pages before Shippou yawned, and Kagome told him that it was a good idea if he went to bed, "Ok." He said in a small voice, she drug her sleeping bag back to the corner of the room and tucked him in, squeezing her neck and giving her a peck kiss on the cheek, he said a happy goodnight and faded off.
Kagome then searches out a bath and then the company of her female friends. "So you and Inuyasha are getting along much better Asami." She said glancing sideways at her friend next to her, "Yes, I suppose we are." the girl replied, "What happened?" Kagome questioned further, curious of how this headstrong girl and the stubborn hanyou got over their differences toward each other. "I think he realized that I can pull my own weight, and I realized that even though he has many flaws, he's a good person, errs...demon or whatever deep down, I feel kinda bad for him for the life he had before, and he is a very loyal person to his friends, so I guess he's ok." Asami explained to Kagome, "That's great Asami, Kagome said excitedly as she threw her arms around her friends neck and gave her a big hug, "You've seen past someone's rough exterior and found the good, I told you it wasn't that bad, besides I'm glad that we're all friends now, I can't stand it when my friends fight." She said to the girl happily, slowly letting her out of the embrace, "Yeah, I guess you were right, just don't think I'll be able to do that with everyone or every demon." She told her wryly, with a smile, "Hey it's a start and that's great, well I think I'm going to head to bed, I'll see you in the morning."
Kagome headed towards the hut but decided to go and see one more friend before she retired for the evening. Walking up to the tree that Inuyasha was lounging in, she quietly stood there, but had already caught the attention of the half demon. "Don't come over here getting' all mushy on me now." He said with his usual mach voice, "You heard that?" she questioned him, "Of course I heard it." Kagome smiled at him knowing that he now held respect and friendship with the other girl, "Ok then I won't, I'm glad you two got over your differences though, well I'm off to bed, and I'll see you in the morning." She said to him, "it's no big deal; I don't know why everyone's gotta go around tiptoeing around me like I'm some baby." Inuyasha replied, but he then smiled, he knew it made Kagome happy to see all of her friends getting along, 'I wonder if that's part of the reason I did it.' He thought to himself, Kagome broke him from his thought when she whispered "Goodnight Inuyasha." "Good night." He replied recovering from the strange feeling he was getting from hearing her whisper his name that way, 'Why did she do that? Why does her voice do that when she's happy?' shaking his head slowly he watched her walk into the hut and just sat there in his thoughts.
In another part of feudal Japan someone else was also letting their thoughts run about our young Miko. 'I haven't seen Kagome in a few weeks,' the figure smiled to himself, the thought of Kagome always brought a smile to his face, though he couldn't understand why she chose to be by that dog- turd's side, the way she always pulled away from him, it didn't matter though, he new once that mutt was out of the way everything would fine. The thought enraged him a little and fueled his desire to kill the damn half breed that was cutting in on him and his chosen mate to be together. Sighing he sat back 'I'll just have to go and see her soon, besides it'll be entertaining to see Inuyasha get all worked up when I show up and woo Kagome.' he acted as though she was nothing to him, even hurt Kagome with that dead bitch, but he got awfully jealous when he came around, and talked about Kagome being his woman. Kouga smiled at this, he loved pissing that dog off, and he couldn't wait for his next visit.
The next morning was like every other one, very uneventful, the girls busied themselves with breakfast and getting things together for their departure from the kind village. Shippou was running around with one of the village children, of course he was antagonizing Inuyasha to show off, which resulted in the kit on the ground with swirly eyes and a few large lumps on his head. Kagome walked over and picked him up, rubbing his gently and saying "Now, you know better Shippou." Smiling down at the kit that had adopted her as his surrogate mother, "Well if he wasn't such big butt head all the time he wouldn't be such a big target." Shippou said over Kagome's shoulder to Inuyasha sticking his tongue out, Inuyasha growled and started towards him, he cringed back into Kagome's arms "Kagome he's being mean." Yelling in desperation to be saved, knowing full well that Inuyasha would not hurt him as long as he was in Kagome's arms. Kagome whirled around and said "SIT, Inuyasha! You're such a child sometimes, leave Shippou alone." She yelled at the hanyou that was now facing down in a small crater, muffled growling could be heard, and as the spell wore off Inuyasha jumped up and cursed. Yelling at Shippou, "You won't be in her arms forever you little brat, I'll get you, don't you worry about that!!" he warned then stalking off.
After gathering their things together and saying their thanks and goodbye's to the villagers they set off once again, about thirty minutes into their walk, Inuyasha heard a male yelling and then Miroku's voice "What the......." THWAMP. They all turned to see Miroku on the ground, with a guy standing over him, wait a minute Miroku is standing over Miroku? What the heck is going on here, by then the real Miroku had regained himself and was standing and the two began a battle "You demon, why do you take my shape and appearance?" The unknown man was yelling, "What? Demon, who's a demon?" Miroku replied. The two went on until they were both to tired to finish, "What is going on!!" Inuyasha demanded, the unknown man only sneered at him answering "You should know you disgusting demon, what is your plan, to wreck my good name and do horrible things?" "Ok, wait a minute, you think that he's a demon because he looks like you, what about you, how do we know that you are not a demon that is trying to look like him?" Sango questioned, "I am not a demon." said the man, "Well neither am I." Miroku replied defensively. "Neither one of you are demons." Came a voice in the back ground, Kagome walked to the center of the interruption and stated flatly. "You both are human, though why you look exactly alike I'm not sure." "How do you know that we are human missy?" the man asked her. "She is a Miko, she can sense demon blood, and she obviously senses none at this time, now back to why you look like me." Miroku said matter-of-factly.
Just then Inuyasha felt a familiar prick on his cheek, slapping at it, a flattened Myouga floated to the ground, after coming to, he jumped on Inuyasha's shoulder and said "I'm sorry Lord Inuyasha; I cannot contain myself when it comes to your blood." Myouga stated a little starry eyed at the thought, he then noticed the two men and asked "What's this?" "Well this guy looks like Miroku, and we can't figure out why." Shippou answered him, "Hmm, is it possible?" Myouga said more to himself in thought, "What? Is what possible?" Miroku asked the flea companion interestedly. "Well I was once traveling towards the western lands when I had stopped at a village, there was big commotion, and it seemed that there had been a rare birth of twins to a family there, though the man was given two sons, he sent one away because as the first son was born with a family curse that had been inflicted on his father while battling a demon, the second born son was not born with this curse, and though he was sad for his first son, he sent his second son away so that the demon responsible for the inflicted curse new not of the second son, so that he would not bestow it upon him."
Myouga finished looking at everyone's stunned and dumbfounded faces, he commented "I never thought it could have been you Miroku." "Ok, so you're saying that this is my twin brother, and I never even knew I had one? How come no one ever told me, even when I was older?" Miroku questioned, Myouga only sighed and finished "I am sure they thought it best for neither of you to know, for I'm sure they never dreamed you would one day meet." The two brothers looked at each other, circling staring, "What was this family curse?" the man asked, "A wind tunnel void that I have in my right hand, it's kept in check by this rosary." Miroku told the man showing him his hand. The man looked down at his own hand and said "Perhaps that is why I have this." Showing his palm to Miroku, there was a lightly colored circular mark in the center of his right hand, Miroku and the others could only stare.
"My name is Hikaru, my age is twenty, and I was raised by a family in a village to the east, the only story I was ever told was that they found me." The man stated looking at Miroku for a reaction. "Well this certainly is strange turn of events." Sango replied trying to ease the tension that was fogging the area, "Yes, but it's a good thing, I mean hey Miroku just met a brother he never knew he had, so you have family now Miroku." Kagome addressed the monk that had become her friend over the year and a half she'd been traveling to the feudal era. "Yeah, I guess." Miroku said a little lost in his thoughts, just then a yell was heard and then a loud slap, the group turned to see Asami yelling at Hikaru with a large deep red hand print on his face "You Pervert!!" Sango rolled her eyes and walked to Miroku, patted him on the shoulder a replied with a smile "Oh yeah, he's your brother alright." The group laughed and Miroku walked to Hikaru and stuck is hand out to shake hands, "How are you brother, tell me about your life, we have a lot of catching up to do." Everyone stared off at the two Hentai men a little surprised, "Figures." Inuyasha replied rolling his eyes and walking in the same direction, everyone else followed talking amongst themselves about the new comer to their group.
A few days past and the two brothers were getting along just fine, though the girls hesitated every time the bent down or took a bath, it was not very comforting to know that there were two 'Miroku's" around. The only thing that seemed out of place with the group was that Kagome noticed a few long stares Hikaru received from an ever interesting Sumie. She smiled as she thought to herself, 'That's very interesting, I'll have to speak to Asami and Sango about this.' It was funny now that she looked around at the group, that things had started with just her and Inuyasha, now they had gradually gained more and more friends to help them on their search for the shard's, they now had Her, Inuyasha, Shippou, Miroku, Sango, Asami and Sumie, and now Hikaru, along with Kirara, and Uuri. Wow she thought we look like a gang there's so many, ten all together, she smiled and wondered how Inuyasha felt about having so many follow him around, she knew that on the outside he may act like he could do without them but on the inside they were his friends and they all cared for him as such, which was something he'd never had before, and she knew they were all dear to him whether he wanted to admit it or not.
"What do you think you are doing Miroku?" Sango asks the amorous monk as he is 'teaching' some of the village girls how to protect themselves against unwanted male attention. (How Ironic huh?) Of course the village girls are eating this up and laughing and flirting with the deceiving monk.

Miroku replied with an innocent tone. "Yeah right, that's what you're doing alright!" Inuyasha spat at him, rolling his eyes, "Aaaarrgghh!!" was heard as Sango stomped off into the village. After enjoying a plentiful meal, Shippou asked Kagome if she would color with him again, nodding she began to put out the book and its supplies asking him to drag her sleeping bag over by the door so they'd have light to see. "Ok." Shippou chirped happily as he padded over to the blanket and drug it to the door. "I like coloring Kagome, its fun, but you always make everything better."
