Chapter 3: Surprise 'Attack'
Another day, another night. Another fruitless search. It had been almost a month since InuYasha was last seen. Sango was many miles away from Kaede's villiage, and was beginning to miss it. She sighed, longing for the comforts of a familiar hut. She was almost ready to give up. Almost. Sango dragged herself out of her thoughts as she heard a rustling sound nearby. Quickly drawing Hiraikotsu, she readied herself for battle.
Miroku muttered under his breath as he pushed his way through the forest. It had been several days since he had set out in search of Sango. Now that he had found her, it was time to reveal himself. Miroku adjusted his flowing robes, though he looked rather comical with twigs and leaves in it and his hair. He was just about to step out into sight when a rather large boomerang came tearing through the trees, along with the accompanying cry of 'Hiraikotsu!', and connected with his head. Miroku let out a slight cry of pain. He winced as he sat up, rubbing his head. "Itaii..." he whined.
Sango started at the familiar voice. She stepped forward tentatively towards the sound. "Miroku?" she called softly. "Is that you?"
"Hello, Sango. Nice to see you too-" Miroku was cut off as Sango's palm connected with the side of his face. "Sango?" he questioned uncertainly, eyes locked on the fuming taijiya.
"Why were you spying on me?!"
"Huh?" was her only response. And so she tried again.
"I was just about to go bathe. Why do you show up now?"
"Lady Sango! I had no idea you were about to bathe! Would you mind if I join yo-" Miroku was once again cut off as Hiraikotsu connected with his head much harder than the original blow, knocking him out cold.
"Pervert..." Sango muttered as she walked away.
