Chap: What kind of sutra?!

Miroku was now officially intrigued. He watched with a raised eyebrow as Kagome and Sango walked off with one of the miko's small bags to go off by themselves. He glanced over at the kitsune who glared back at him. "So you're to guard me once again to be sure that I leave those two lovely ladies alone, eh, Shippou?"

"You bet, you lecher. I'm not letting you get anywhere near them."

The houshi huffed in disappointment. "You could at least tell me what they're up to. With Inuyasha being gone too, if something were to attack the camp, you and I could be in trouble."

The little fox's tail twitched at that. He'd promised Kagome not to tell, but once the monk put it like that---"They're practicing this sutra thing."

Miroku paused in confusion, frowning. "What kind of sutra?"

"I don't know, she didn't really say. But it makes them do all kinds of stretching and stuff like that."

The man's eyebrows nearly vanished into his hair line. "Stretching?"

"Yeah, I watched them do it once. And it must hurt too, 'cause they keep making all these moaning sounds."

"Moaning sounds?"

"Yep. But they always look really happy when they come back from doing it," Shippou went blithely on.

Miroku's mind was in a whirl. Finally he managed to ask, "And just where did Kagome learn these sutras?"

"Hmm. She said that she learned them when she was about twelve years old, from—I think it was one of her teachers or something?"

"Oh. Thank you, Shippou, for telling me". 'He cannot be serious. I mean, I know they teach it to girls that young, but---but—Kagome?! Kagome-sama knows the'---

"Say, Miroku, do you know what kind of sutra they're doing? Maybe they'll let you join in, being a monk and all."

"Oh, bliss," he stammered out before he could stop himself. At the young one's confused look, he re-schooled his features to their normal calm mask. "Nothing, Shippou, nothing. I think I might bring it up to them later on."

"O—kay," the kitsune said worriedly. He might have just messed up big time on this one.

The monk finally managed to slip away as the kitsune drifted off to sleep. Sango and Kagome were taking much longer than usual to come back, and part of him seriously was worried. The other, much bigger part of him wanted to confirm his suspicions. 'She can't really be—no, Kagome's not Buddhist. Or Hindu for that matter. How could she know about such a thing? Granted, from the way she talks, sex is much more openly discussed than it is now, but still! Where would her teacher have learned it fro'—

He stopped still at the sight that he came upon.

Sango, in one of Kagome's 'swim suits', was all over Kagome, who was in these three tiny pieces of cloth. They were bending and flexing in all sorts of ways—

'Hell, who needs Nirvana when you can see this?' The blasphemus thought shot across the happy hentai's brain. But he nearly face-faulted when Inuyasha came into the clearing.

Kagome and Sango both untangled themselves and rose as he walked towards them. He stood in front of them, blushing as he removed his outer kimono, muttering something about tension, and could they please help him with it.

Miroku couldn't take anymore! He jumped from his hiding spot, shouting to the trio's stunned looks, "I can't believe this! You'll practice the Kama Sutra with him and not me?!"

For those who don't know, the Kama Sutra is a famous Hindu scroll that in ancient times was normally given to newlyweds on their honeymoon. It was a guidebook for the groom and bride on how to—um, well, how to be sure they'd never need the 'Complete Idiot's Guide to Sex.'

Its still available to read today in some bookstores, not that I'm advertising!
