Hey peeps. Right now its 1:37 am and of course I can't sleep. Oh yes I do not own Inu and crew la de da but I do own Jeido which means Jade in English (my favorite stone!) Enjoy

You sank my battleship!

Wink at me popo.

'I know Miroku. I know about Jeido.' Ki lala just looked at the monk with her cold stare. She had known about the situation sense the first time she went into his mind. "But just to make sure I understand this correctly, tell me why she still haunts you?'

Pain continued to fill up Miroku's chest. 'Jeido' He didn't want to talk about her ever again. "You don't understand." The monk knew he wasn't going to get out of this so he started. "She meant the world to me. She was everything. And now she is gone. What more do you want me to say." Tears tempted to fill his eyes but he just forced them back down. Even though Ki lala was just a cat demon he wouldn't let her get to him.

"That is true, I don't understand. She was your best friend; you didn't care for her romantically." The cat pondered over why this inhibited the monk so. 'Men' she thought to herself. 'They are the same no matter what species.'

Miroku knew the cat would not be able to comprehend his feelings. It was a situation where either you knew from experience or you wouldn't know at all.

It was time he brought back what needed to be said. "But I loved her with all my heart and she died. I couldn't save her." He started "I remember it so well.

It was ten years ago, we were just talking in the woods when we were attacked by a hypnotic demon. Just like the one that got to Sango. He took her soul but not mine." Miroku paused a few seconds before continuing. He probably already knew my life was damned but she held so much promise." Now that the words were started they would not stop, he finally let go.

"The villagers wanted me to save her. I wanted the village priest to do it, but they said I was the only way. I had just begun my studies and I was so weak. I went inside her head into her worst memories. I had no idea what she had been through and when I finally found her, she was insane. She told me she despised me with all of her being, and said I was the source of her pain just for trying... just for wanting her to be happy. I don't understand what I did but it was me who caused her so much pain just for telling her how I felt."

The monk stopped at this. Looking over he noticed Ki lala just staring at him. The pain in his chest started to relieve but was still there.

"It wasn't your fault Miroku. You said it yourself she was insane. You just happened to the the scape goat. Something easy she could pin her frustrations on. Though love is pain no matter how you look at it. Nothing will ever change that." After pausing a few seconds to let the information sink in she gently asked. "Do you feel any better?" She walked closer to him and he bent down beside her.

"Actually, you're probably right. And I guess I do feel a little better. Now what do we do?"

Ki lala looked over at Kiaede's hut. "Now we must save her." Miroku now noticed pain in the animal's eye. This must be hard on the poor creature.

"Don't feel sorry for me monk. I want this perfectly clear. I don't like you and I don't think you are worthy of Sango's affections. I have gone through your mind enough times to know you are a perverted fool, but I also know you are a decent guy and you may be the key to her rescue."

"So you have really seen all of my thoughts?"
