Sango's Counterpart- For the Miroku part...you will have to wait and see. For them being in the hut...they haven't left for battle yet...as you will find out in this chapter. All they did was visit like a shrine nearby. Why is everybody peeking at Sango? Because they want her so bad...haha...

Chapter Seven-

"Alright men, today is our first day in battle. Everyone will need to remain calm and make sure you fight hard. It is doubtful we will run into anything today but don't put your guard down...just in case. Move out!" the half demon paused, giving me a look and opening his mouth to speak for a second. "Santo I want you and me front and center on Kirara. You too Miroku and Kagome, but you'll be on foot."

I nodded looking down at Kirara. Kirara purred silently and transformed into her larger form. I leapt up on top of her and motioned Inuyasha to climb up as well. We rushed forward and rose above everybody else. Finally we were up front, Inuyasha had remained silent this whole time but finally he seemed ready to burst.

"So...you're a girl...?" he questioned, his voice too quiet for anyone but me and Kirara to hear.

I nodded solemnly. I really didn't need to put up with him right now.

"And you still want to fight? And you are aware that I could very well punish you for lying? And you do know that you shouldn't be here? And you must know that slapping your commander isn't exactly the smartest thing to do?" he spoke quickly almost all in one breath, giving me hardly any time to comprehend what he was talking about.

"You deserved it. And I want to fight."I said after a brief silence. "Have a problem with that?"

He just shook his head, then sniffed the air.

"I smell the stench of demon..." he growled. "And it isn't Kirara or myself. Or that little runt fox thing that follows that priestess around."

I placed my arm behind my back, readying my boomerang. I could sense an evil aura as well. But I couldn't exactly tell from where. I looked down, the other's hadn't sensed it yet. But it couldn't have been any closer to us than to them...unless...

"Up!" Inuyasha shouted, making sure everyone could hear him. "Bird Demons! Anyone with long range attacks move now! Short range prepare!"

I spotted one right away. Heading straight towards some of our comrades. I lifted my weapon and hurdled it towards the ground watching as the bird broke in two and my boomerang returned hitting another in the process.

The soldier looked around until he spotted me and nodded his head in thanks. I could tell he was very relieve, but suddenly his face changed dramatically. He rose his arm and pointed behind me.

"BEHIND YOU!"

I quickly turned but only to find a demon bird about ten times bigger that the other ones. The bird squawked loudly, and began flapping it's wings with great force. The wind around Inuyasha, Kirara, and I had grown stronger. I tried my hardest to steer Kirara away from the wind but it was of no prevail.

Inuyasha growled next to me, and he drew his long sword, which doubled if not tripled in size once it was out of it's sheath.

Tetsusaiga. I had heard of this sword before. Actually my father used to talk about it all the time. A sword owned by a great half demon. It had the power to destroy hundreds of demons in one swing. I heard it even had other abilities, some even stronger than the first.

As I stared in awe at the great sword, Inuyasha leaped from Kirara, towards the demon, swinging his sword rapidly. I heard him mumbling something about a wind scar. Then finally he swung his sword one last time, sending out a great light.

The great bird vanished, along with the other birds. Inuyasha smirked and jumped back onto Kirara.

"Alright everyone let's continue..." he paused abruptly, gazing at my shoulder. "That's a nasty cut...it looks like it could be poisoned."

I glanced at my shoulder, and saw a long cut, that I didn't seem to remember getting. The edges of the cut seemed to be glowing. I winced, and turned back towards Inuyasha.

"It's probably fine." I lied.

He shrugged seeming to loose interest almost instantly. I knew the consequences. I would have to go to a doctor or something. Most likely they would find out about me right there and then. Besides the cut didn't look too bad...

"Alright troops forward!" Inuyasha shouted breaking my train of though, once again he turned to talk to me once everyone was moving.

"Yes?" I asked, annoyed by his staring.

"For a girl you are a great fighter." he stated simply, then he smirked. "You know what I think?"

I just shrugged, not really caring what the demon thought. It's too bad I didn't notice how big his smile had grown.

"I think the only reason you haven't admitted to you being a girl is because of the fact that you have grown close to someone. Am I right? And you don't want them to find out you're a girl..."

I blinked, not quite sure how to depend myself.

He had a point. If he knew it didn't really matter if I kept it secret anymore...but something inside me didn't want Miroku to find out. But then again...

Somehow I wanted him to know. He sweet talked that picture of me. So he shouldn't care if he finds out I'm really not a guy, right?

"Is it the monk or that demon exterminator the you beat to a pulp?" Inuyasha asked, once again breaking my thoughts.

I remained silent and looked down to the ground. I saw Kiro walking side by side with my father. They were talking and for a second I saw my father look up at me. Kiro just seemed to be sucking up to him so I switched my view towards Miroku.

Did I like him? I mean it's true that I often find myself staring at him...but did I like him...

No I didn't.

I loved him...
