Chapter Twenty-Six: How You Doing?
"Why do I always get stuck with the hard jobs?" A monk complained loudly to the kitsune beside him. Shippo looked up examining Miroku with his dancing bright eyes.
"I don't know why you have such a problem. You got what you deserved for trying to rub on Kagome's butt," the fox demon explained without sympathy. Shippo tried to juggle the load of logs that his monk friend had given him while trying to keep up. A large groan passed the lips of the elder wood collector.
"She didn't have to be so upset about it, she does have a nice backside," he contently mentioned.
"You were just lucky Inuyasha wasn't here, or else I bet you wouldn't be able to get anything for a while...including un-broken bones," the child warned. They hiked out of the cool shade of the forest and into the sunshine of the clearing where their village stood. After stacking the logs on a side of Kaede's hut, they strolled to the garden where they knew Kagome and the older priestess would be working. Suddenly a large hand grasped the demon's small auburn head and pushed him into the bushes.
"What's that for?" Shippo yelped as loud as he could in the dirt.
"Shhhh," Miroku replied with a finger to his lips, "There's a girl that Kagome's hugging." Two huge emerald orbs popped out of the foliage to get a glimpse.
"Oh, I know her, she just got here before I went to find you. Inuyasha said you were taking to long and I was to help," the little one told. The monk's mouth salivated a bit at the sight of her. Another girl, I wonder what she's doing here.
"Want to wipe your mouth monk?" a sarcastic voice spoke behind the two spies.
"Uh, Inuyasha, what a surprise," Miroku started uneasily, "So, what's the girl's name?"
"If you need to know, that's Sango. She'll be joining our group, but she's a demon slayer," the hanyou explained. Confusion found itself upon the monk's face.
"Why would that matter?" he asked.
"Because stupid, that means she can hurt you like Kagome can't!" the amber eyed boy snapped back.
"So, Kagome told you what happened, huh?" Shippo burst into the conversation. Inuyasha's eyes shrank into slits and stared at Miroku.
"What happened while I was away?" he growled lowly. A cold sweat instantly covered the muscular face of the dead man before the hanyou. The monk nervously laughed trying to chase away his fear.
"Nothing...much," was all he could get out before clawed fists started to pound him into the ground. Inuyasha snorted off the rest of his annoyance and went to rejoin the small group before him with Shippo at his heals.
"Kagome, I found Miroku! We have enough supplies for a year!" the child exclaimed. The dark eyed miko smiled tenderly at her son.
"Dear, could you help Sango with all of her things? She'll need a bed for the night, probably away from Miroku," the mother requested.
"Now, why would you say that?" the monk came from out of the bushes looking verbally assaulted, but appeared to already have a beating.
"Oh, Sango, this is Miroku. Miroku, Sango," introduced Kagome.
"And I'm Koga, so don't even think about anything going on," the cocky wolf demon threatened.
"Do you want to stay for supper?" the new group member asked.
"No, I'm leaving. I don't want to stay around mutt face here anyway and I got to get back to my den," he yelled whirling away.
"Sango, right? Do you feel up to taking a walk?" Miroku asked the slayer as he approached her. She cautiously glanced at him and nodded her petite head. They strolled up to the path of the forest while the other four watched.
"Shippo, make sure Miroku doesn't get into trouble," Kagome whispered in his ear. The small kitsune bounded after them.
Author's Note: Sorry for not updating sooner and having a short chapter, but I've been busy! I'm going back to college this Friday and I have to pack everything, plus it was my birthday on the 18th. Oh, and the Comic Convention that I attented (got away with a TON of Inuyasha stuff!) and got a horrible head cold from that just won't go away. So I probably won't update anytime soon cuz of school. Sorry! I still love you all!
