Chapter Three: The Meeting and Is It Just Me or Is He Gay?
Kagome stepped back down the stage and was suddenly hugged by someone. Suddenly, she felt a hand heading towards her rear and with her nine year's worth of practice; she punched Miroku's head, knocking him to the ground.
"I never knew you were gay, Miroku. I knew you liked women... but men?" a mysterious cold voice questioned. Kagome looked up and saw ice cold amber eyes staring back at her. Her gaze was broken when she heard Miroku moan. She looked down extended her hand to help Miroku up.
"Miroku, I can't believe you, to think...I'm even helping you back up! You better not do this again!" Kagome said with a hint of anger in her voice. She knew she could not stay mad for long.
"Well, Miroku, I see I'm not the only one that's surprised. Are you going to introduce me or not?" the stranger asked yet again.
"I didn't see you there Sesshy! Nice to see you again! You're a sight for sore eyes. What brings you here? Did you miss me?" Miroku asked.
"Miroku! Don't tell me you're seriously gay! You usually suppose to say 'You're a sight for sore eyes' when you're talking to the opposite gender! To think, you've been hiding this from me for so long Kagome shakes her head in shame... we're practically siblings!" Kagome exclaimed in shock.
"Miroku, you saw me two days ago, and don't tell me that your friend is telling the truth." the new guy asked.
"I'm not gay!" Miroku screamed as the remaining people in the hut turned around and stared at him. Miroku's face suddenly turned crimson red. "I can't help but think you two are girls by the way you have such long hair! Please don't kill me! I can't help the ways I was born with." Miroku begs with fear.
"Miroku... I'll let you off this time, seeing you acknowledge your lowly disgrace, but this youkai will not be so easy next time." the mystery friend of Miroku said. He turned to face Kagome and spoke, "This youkai's name is Sesshy. I am impressed with your intelligence. Your essay was well written. You have the potential become a great scholar."
"Thank you. My name's Kai. You were one of the judges then, I assume? How'd you meet Miroku? It's amusing to see him make any new friends aside from women." Kagome replied.
"I met him in my travels. My goal is to test my skill throughout Japan before I have to take over my families' business."
"It must be your first time in this village then. Come on, I'll show you around. Our village is considerably bigger than an average one and there are lots to do... maybe we can find someone who wants to fight you!" Kagome exclaimed as she runs ahead towards the center of the village.
"Your friend sure is open for someone who's extremely smart, Miroku. You should warn him to be careful...not everyone has good intentions." Sesshy advised to his friend.
"Well, that's the way Kai is. He's very open and helpful to those he thinks he can trust. However, maybe you should be the one watching out, he's got a sharp eye and he can be tremendously serious if need be." Miroku replied with a smile on his face at the thought of his best friend's trusting behavior.
Important Author's Note: I just wanted to let you know that the story is not short; rather, there will be many more chapters to come. What I have posted so far, is an introduction to the characters to come and how they meet, since this is critical to the story. However, with school beginning again, I would not be able to update as often as I would like to. I aim to update twice a week but I might end up only being able to update only once a week.
