Note: I do not own Inu and crew. I do own Jeido though. In my first note I mentioned that I do not follow the manga or anime story lines, well in this one I will be exercising that statement. I just had an idea and just for the heck of it I'm going for it. Also check out the 3 Days Grace CD...
Dawn came upon the village too soon. Miroku had not gotten as much sleep as he would have liked. He had an important mission today and that was to retrieve Sango's soul. His thoughts about her were confusing. He liked Sango, but was it more? Even he couldn't decide.
Finally lifting his eyelids the monk put on his robe, tied his hair back, picked up his staff, and got ready to meet Kiaede.
On his way over to the hut Ki lala came in front of Miroku blocking his path. Looking down he noticed the kitten demon staring at him intensely. 'What is it trying to sense?' Trying to this notion out of his head he stepped to the side and walked around the kitten. After a few steps another voice came inside his head.
"You know you must deal with this Miroku."
This caused the monk to turn around sharply. He scanned the area. The only creature nearby was Ki lala. "I must be loosing it." Miroku said to himself. He had come to turns with his 'possessed' hand, but he wasn't willing to deal with voices.
"You worry too much. You know that right?" This time Miroku knew it was Ki lala who was speaking to him. Giggling to itself the kitten came closer and looked him in the eye. "I didn't think it would take you this long to realize this, maybe I give you too much credit. But then again you had so little to begin with. So very disappointing."
"These are big words for a little creature. You seem to not like me. And how long have you been in my mind." Miroku was pretty dumbfounded and was surprised that he could even get words out of his mouth. Sango's cat was talking to him! Inside his head! 'I wonder if she knows.'
'You really are stupid monk.' Ki lala started. 'Of course Sango knows she is my master. And you are right, I really don't like you. Is it really that hard to accept, me talking to you? I've been inside for a while. I know more than you think.'
"What do you know kitten?" Miroku asked aloud. This scared him more than even he realized. Some things were sapost to be left in the past. And others he was unwilling to deal with.
"I must admit that I didn't expect some things Miroku. You have done a good job fooling people but it's starting to come undone, and you know this. Maybe I'm just judging you too much. Why don't you tell me exactly what I need to know?" With this she sat down on the hut's porch and waited for some explainations.
Miroku turned his back on the animal. "Incase you have forgotten your master needs my help, I've got to go."
Ki lala took this very easily. "Sango is much stronger than you giver credit for. I blame myself for this travesty. My line has been with the hunters for hundreds of years, and I was not there to help her. But you cannot rescue her, not now at least. Don't worry this won't take long."
This sunned the monk. "Why are you doing this? We don't have time for 40 questions! Sango is in a personal hell right now. I bet you could rescue her right now if you wanted too. Why are you letting her go through this?" These words made a pain in his chest. He didn't recognize this feeling 'What's happening to me?'
"That is what happens when you pile up your emotions, Im surprised that it hasn't caught up to you sooner. You're a wreck Miroku and it has been affecting Sango too. She cares about you, and you only poke at her emotions. Just tell me now, do you care about her?"
"Of course I care Ki lala. You didn't need a mind reader to figure out that." Miroku thought about what he just said. 'Is that all?'
"Then do you love her?" Ki lala asked.
"I don't know Ki lala." Miroku ansewered. "I would do anything for her, and I think about her all the time. But is it love, infatuation, or what? Maybe it's for the best, not to show her I care. I would only drag her down." Suddenly memories of Jeido came into his head.
"I know Miroku..."
