Chapter 9

The Monk and the Demon Slayer

Miroku just stood there. Inuyasha was busy pacing back and forth not really noticing anything; completely oblivious to the small fact that he was talking to himself. Miroku chuckled, he hated to see is friend in utter heartbreak but it was hard not to laugh at the hanyou as he paced around trying to come up with some crazy plan to get Kagome back.

"Oh well….." Miroku sighed. This was becoming a normal thing for Inuyasha to do these days. Sesshomaro would simply walk away from his idiotic younger brother. He thought that Inuyasha was going mad. However, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo stayed by Inuyasha's side throughout all of his tough times. They were his true friends.

Sango looked out of the tiny window in the dojo were she had slept. She smiled. Miroku was a very handsome young man when he wasn't being a complete pervert. He had came into her room the night before when the air outside had become chilled, and placed his shawl thingy over her shoulders while she calmly slept. He was a true gentleman…..when he wanted to be.

He noticed her staring at him, and he smiled. At least she hadn't tried to hit him yet….he was sure that would come before the end of the day.

He smiled. Her heart pounded inside her chest….a bright red blush swept across her cheeks. 'Why do I feel this way towards such a jerk?' It wasn't the first time she had asked herself that. And she was certain that it would not be her last. Oh well, there was no use in trying to hide it from him….the light from the sun had began to shine through the window, lighting up her naturally pale face. She gave up trying to hide the redness on her cheeks from him…what was the point, he would find some absurd way to make her blush before the day was over.

She walked outside, the sunlight brightened up her pale features and gave her an angel like glow. She was beautiful. That was all Miroku could think at that time was simply how beautiful Sango was. He walked up to her and spoke with a clear untouched voice:

Good morning, Miss Sango. How was your night?"

Wow, she had never expected him to say something like that. What was going on with him?

"Miroku, why are you being so….so courteous?" she stuttered, not knowing if she should go on. "I mean, I like you much better when you act like this but why are you acting like this now? It doesn't make any sense.."

Once again, he smiled. This was killing her.

"Miss Sango, I am only trying to be a nicer more polite person." he placed his hand on her shoulder "I can assure you that this is no trick….I am honestly trying to become a better person." He knew it, his sincerity had struck her….it was nothing like she had ever experienced from him, and he was proud of it.

Gaining his own courage, he took another step closer to Sango. This frightened her at first but she quickly relaxed. He smiled, and spoke softly: "I am going to be the perfect gentleman and do this…."

(Okay by now you probably think that he is going to grab her butt…..but hey, he did say perfect gentleman didn't he?)

Her eyes widened, and she froze…..she was completely unable to move a single muscle in her strong body.

He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her cheek.

He pulled away slowly, figuring that he would be an even better gentleman and give her time to slap him across the face. But she didn't, to be exact she didn't move. However, she manage to smile at the monk. Through the extreme loss of blood due to the fact that it had all rushed to her cheeks, the only thing Sango had managed to say was : "Thank you, Miroku….you have surprised me with your behavior….but I am very pleased." The monk was shocked.

"She didn't hit me yay!" he did a little dance once Sango had walked away.

Inuyasha and Shippo had witnessed the whole thing. Inuyasha's jaw dropped when Sango didn't belt Miroku across the face. Shippo was just surprised she looked at him. "I wish I would have done that with Kagome….." Inuyasha's voice trailed off before he finished his sentence. He and the kitsune stood and watched as Miroku danced around them, and before long the wind grew cold and the snow began to fall.

A/N: Okay so I gave you guys a hint as to what my next chappie is going to be called….check out the last four words if you don't get it…..and Princess Fey, I think the next chapter is going to be kinda mushy-so there's your warning…but don't quote me because I'm nor quite sure what is going to happen next. So please RR! thanx to all my reviewers so far! Ja Ne
