It wasn't too long before Miroku began to notice the changes in his body.
The changes developed, one at a time, and once they started to make
themselves known, they did so very quickly.
When Miroku's sense of smell heightened, it happened so fast that it scared him. He was walking nest to Sango and Kagome, he was about to jog up to catch Inuyasha, when the scent of blood surged over him. He stopped and looked around, noticing the smell was coming from Kagome.
He glanced at her, and then ran up to Inuyasha, asking him if he, too smelled blood.
Inuyasha looked at him, and smirked.
"We need to talk, Miroku." He turned to Kagome, Sango and Shippo. "You guys wait here. We'll be right back." Inuyasha grabbed Miroku's hand and led him deep into the forest.
He sat down, and coaxed Miroku to sit on his lap. Miroku did so with little persuasion needed.
He laid his head back onto Inuyasha's shoulder and sighed in content.
"So, you smell it too, then?" Inuyasha said, softly into Miroku's ear.
"Smell? Oh, the blood, yeah. I was wondering why you didn't ask Kagome if she was alright. She's bleeding. I can smell it so I assumed you could too."
Inuyasha chuckled at Miroku and hugged him close. "She's fine. It's not a wound. She's in heat. It's a common mistake. You'll be able to tell the difference once you smell flesh blood. The scents will be overwhelming at first, but you'll get used to them in a few days."
"Inuyasha?" Miroku said, softly, "Remember the day we first got together?"
"Yeah, what about it?" Inuyasha asked.
"You called Kagome a slut. Do you really think that? I mean, I know she can be a bit... loose at times but she's not a slut." Inuyasha nodded, to get Miroku to the point of the whole conversation.
"I want you to apologize. It really hurt her feelings and I know you were speaking out of anger. Buddha says we must resist anger, to never speak out of anger, for it only causes pain."
Inuyasha pouted, a little, before finally saying, "OK fine, I'll apologize. Shit you act like she doesn't already know I didn't mean it."
"Oh Inuyasha, you can be a fool. But... oh well."
"Hey, I said I'd apologize, are you gonna lay off now?"
Miroku nodded and turned his head, nuzzling his nose into Inuyasha's neck. Inuyasha sighed and relaxed against the tree behind him, letting Miroku snuggle him.
"I've missed you. A lot. It seems like I'm drawn to you now. I love the feeling. It's like... like I need you, need you to love me. Is that normal?"
"It's love, Miroku. You love me. I love you, so very much. Don't forget it, ever." Inuyasha kissed the side of Miroku's head and tenderly lifted him up, turning him around so that they were face to face.
"I've been wanting to do this, but we haven't had any time alone." Miroku said, before he pressed his lips passionately against Inuyasha's and Inuyasha eagerly replied, wrapping his arms tightly around Miroku and licking the monk's lip.
Inuyasha slid Miroku's robe down his shoulder, exposing his back and chest. Miroku moaned and began sliding Inuyasha's own top off of him. He slid his hands across the toned chest and pressed himself further into Inuyasha's lap.
"I need you Inuyasha. I need you inside of me again." Inuyasha moaned and began to nip at Miroku's lips, when he suddenly heard Kagome calling his name.
Miroku obviously heard it too, as he pulled back and stood up, straightening his clothes and matting out the wrinkles. He growled a little, at the intrusion of their... 'session', and walked a few feet away, to as not make Kagome suspect anything.
She emerged from the bushes and walked over to Inuyasha.
"What's taking you so long, and where did Miroku go?" He had just walked into the forest, wanting to see how Inuyasha would apologize. He knew Inuyasha knew he was there, as Miroku was upwind.
"He went to find firewood." Inuyasha said, quickly.
"We're camping already; we've got a good hour of daylight left." She said to him, a little confused.
"Well I want to camp now. My feet are getting soar. I don't have no fancy 'tenny shoes' on my feet like you all do."
"Inuyasha, I... ok. We'll camp here. I don't feel like arguing with you right now." She said, looking at her feet.
"Kagome, I... need to talk to you." Inuyasha said. He could smell his mate, and he knew Miroku wanted him to talk to Kagome. And he knew Miroku would give him hell over it later if he didn't.
"What is it Inuyasha?" Her heart skipped a beat. He looked so... nervous. Was he going to...? Kagome instantly blushed.
"I... I wanted to say... that..." He sighed, and her heart raced, thinking that a love confession was coming from the Hanyou. "I wanted to say that I'm sorry... Ok, there I said it."
Kagome looked at him, confused. "Sorry about what?"
Inuyasha glanced over to where Miroku was hiding. He took a breath.
"Yer not a slut. Sorry I said you were. I didn't mean it." He was looking towards his feet, obviously not comfortable telling her he was sorry.
"I had already forgiven you for that, Inuyasha." Kagome said, wrapping her arms around him. He could feel her heart thumping against him.
"K-Kagome..." He stiffened; she nudged her nose into his neck and gently kissed the skin there.
"I love you, Inuyasha." She whispered.
He pulled back, slowly, carefully. Not wanting to hurt her feelings, but not wanting her scent to smother over Miroku's.
"Kagome, I don't love you. Not that way."
She looked up at him, in tears. "Is it Kikyo?"
Inuyasha shook his head. "It's not either of you. I'm trying be a lone wolf for a little while. I do not love any woman. OK?"
She nodded. And hugged him again.
"Look, I gotta go and... help Miroku get firewood. Go find Sango and tell her to start setting up."
Inuyasha walked into the forest, following the scent his lover.
Dracona: Listen, IYBG2000, I have nothing against Kagome. In fact, she is one of my favorite characters. I did state that this story was yaoi and if anyone has a problem with guy/guy relationships, then they shouldn't read yaoi stories. Personally, I don't think either one of them is gay, but I absolutely love Miroku and Inuyasha together. There is nothing wrong with making up fictional situations about fictional characters. So, do not FLAME ME!!!!! It's just mean. And stupid. I'm not gonna stop writing if I'm flamed by a few closed minded people. Just remember, "Words have the power to destroy or heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change the world." Karma will get you in the end. So watch it.
