Chapter Thirteen: I'm Miroku

Miroku stared at the half-demon before him. He couldn't believe his eyes, was this demon try to take Kagome back? Inuyasha glanced at the bride and did a double-take. Wow! She looks great! His jaw sagged and his eyes couldn't be taken off her.

"What Inuyasha? Do you have a problem?" Kagome screamed at him. How dare him! Without answering her, he glided up to the monk and glowered at his purple spheres. Growling, his arm moved back and soared forward ending in a right hook introducing his fist to Miroku's square jaw. The monk, not expecting this, dropped instantly by the punch. He awoke a few hours later and saw Inuyasha hunched in the corner of his residence with a very sour expression. "What are you still doing here?" the monk cried out scared silly.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you again...unless you try to take Kagome away from me again," Inuyasha growled as he cracked his knuckles, a smirk forming on his face. Kagome entered the room then.

"He won't hurt you again. I've explained everything to Inuyasha, it was just a big misunderstanding," Kagome chirped happy to see her patent finally awake. Miroku relaxed with the information his used to be bride gave. "Miroku, I've been sensing jewel shards ever sense I got here. Where are they?" the girl questioned.

"You can sense jewel shards? What are you?"

"Never mind that, were are they?" Kagome demanded.

"They're under my bed, in a little pouch." She toddled over to his bed and lifted the mattress slightly, finding the pouch and looking in. There in the velvet were nestled three more shards of the Shikon Jewel. While she did this the hanyou enjoyed the view of her black boy cut panties with pink lace trim. He was slightly disappointed when she stood back up.

"Great, thanks for the shards!" She placed them in the small vesicle around her neck.

"Just wondering, but why do you have some pieces of the jewel? I thought humans couldn't use it," the fanged boy inquired to the monk.

"To draw out Naraku," the victim answered in a hushed tone. The name pricked at silver canine ears.

"What does Naraku have to do with you?" Inuyasha snarled out, barely able to be understood because of his fury upon hearing the name.

"A few generations back in my family Naraku brought a curse down on my family because they were hunting him. The curse is the wind tunnel and as you can see, I have it. It'll be in my family until Naraku is destroyed. It'll slowly grow bigger and consume my body if that inhumane demon isn't killed." Miroku told the two enraptured listeners.

"Well, since I've wanted to slaughter that basterd for some time, why don't you come with us? You might even be useful, at least more than Kagome is," the dog boy snickered while inviting Miroku along.

"Ya! That'll be a great idea!" Kagome jumped up and down in blissfulness. Amber globes followed her breasts. Inuyasha then turned away and scowled at himself at already being so wrapped up in Kikyo's reincarnation. He heard Kagome speaking again. "As soon as you feel well enough we'll go back to Kaede's village, maybe she'll know more about Naraku." The next morning they left for the old woman's community.
"So ye all want to gain knowledge about the demon Naraku?" Kaede asked after hearing the entire story.

"Yes Priestess, will you please tell us what you know about the demon?" Miroku pleaded.

"Well young one, I know that he wasn't always demon. In fact, Naraku was a human before he transformed."

"But Kaede, how can that happen?" Kagome impatiently asked.

"Patience child and I shall tell thee. When Kikyo was still alive she found a man in a cave, burned very badly and abandoned by everyone he knew. She knew that he was not going to live, or if he did, he would know pain for the rest of his days. Kikyo took care of him for many days and he fell in love with her. The man knew that he could never be with her because of his injuries, so at a part of the day when my sister was not attending him to go and get food and water, he prayed to the demons around him. He begged them to eat his flesh and devoir his soul. They did so, enjoying feasting upon him, and the result was Naraku. Reborn from the demons that ate his body and his soul transformed from the evil that lived within the devourers. I've also recently heard that he has already gained shards of the jewel, twelve in fact, and has become very powerful." Kaede finished her story and then became quiet once more. No one spoke about Naraku for the rest of the day.
