A/N: Wow look an uber-fast update, Lady Sango 7's 3 chapters in two days have inspired me 2 write faster. So I'll get this short story over with, it's not that complicated. Besides it's Friday tomorrow and Inuyasha is on! YAY! I hate living in Canada would you believe that we are only on episode 81 and 82? At least they put it back to an hour….
Enough blabbing on with the story!
MysteriesMysteries, lies that are tangled with one another.
All because of the betrayal, the one slight rift in the relationship,
Has opened up across an entire ocean.
And for us to bridge an entire ocean is impossible.
So still the mysteries remains,
The truth is unknown,
And the path of truth is blocked,
Until these mysteries are solved nothing will be normal.
I see you guys are back again, I suppose you want to hear my tale, or their tale I should say. Now where did I leave off? With a stranded monk, walking back through the forest.
"In bed with another woman! How could Inuyasha even think I would do that to my Sango!" Miroku said he name possessively, "Yuck, I sound like Kouga, but still how could he have thought that?"
'You would think everyone would the way you act!' a voice that did not belong to him echoed in his head.
"Who are you?" Miroku asked readying himself, "show yourself!"
Inside Miroku's head there was what sounded like a purr and then there was a voice, 'Honestly, I thought you loved her, if you loved her why can't you recognized the best companion Sango's always had with her!'
"Kirara?" Miroku asked amazed, he heard a mew of laughter and knew he was right. "So why haven't you talked to me before?"
The fire cat in her small form leapt from a tree branch into Miroku's arms and mewed, 'Because I have not needed to talk you with such great urgency.'
"What would that be about?" Miroku asked, "Everyone else seems to think that I cheated on your mistress."
'I believe you' was the Kirara answered, 'I can tell you love Sango as much as I do and I know you are not lying because there is no scent of guilt on you, Inuyasha believed Sango who saw who she thought was you, Inuyasha was overcome by anger and that is why he can't tell.'
"So what can we do about it?" Miroku asked.
"Well, it was obviously someone disguised as you, to make Sango believe you betrayed her." Kirara said hinting.
"So?" Miroku said miserably.
"My goodness you are slow." Kirara said sighing, "It's amazing Sango puts up with you. C'mon now Miroku you can do this! Think Hard! It was probably a demon that can change his SHAPE"(a/n: being quite obvious isn't she?)
"You mean Naraku? Why would he do something like this?" Miroku asked.
"To break you two up? You know like he did Inuyasha and Kikyou, it's like an instant replay."
"Replay?" Miroku asked.
"You and Sango, Kikyou and Inuyasha, it's the same idea." Kirara
"Not exactly, but I get the picture." Miroku replied.
"You know you really shouldn't talk out loud anyone who hears you is gonna think your insane!" Kirara scolded.
Miroku laughed, "Well," he whispered, "I could say I am,"
"Or you could just talk in your head"
"I don't kn-" Miroku stopped, "you mean like this? Just think it?"
"Well duh," Kirara said, "And yes I know you were going to say I act like a teenager, ha, I'm at least 3000 years older than you."
"I'm guessing you can tell what I'm thinking right?" Miroku asked silently.
"Well YEAH!" Kirara replied.
"Sheesh I never knew you had an attitude, so what are we going to be about this mess am in?" Miroku asked the cat, patting her head.
Kirara purred and said, "Talk to Kagome of course."
"She'll help me?" Miroku said aloud forgetting.
"Yes, now let's go, I'll come with you, if she sees I'm still allowing you to stay she'll believe or think you drugged me."
"Hopefully the first one!" Miroku muttered.
Miroku walked back in the direction of the inn, and stopped when he got to the edge of the forest, "Inuyasha's going to notice my scent now! So how will I get inside to get Kagome?"
"I'll go," Kirara volunteered.
Kirara jumped out of Miroku's arms and tramped into the inn, although small, in this case Kirara had an advantage, slipping between peoples legs reaching the staircase at the opposite side of the room that would have normally taken regular sized people ten minutes and her it took only mere seconds.
Running up the stairs Kirara sniffed her way to Kagome and Sango's room, Sango was asleep already, but it smelt as if she had cried herself to sleep. Kirara entered the room and brushed up against Sango's face, nuzzling her mistress and licking her cheek Kirara turned to Kagome.
Kirara brushed against Kagome's leg and meowed loudly, "Hey, Kirara!" Kagome cooed stroking the cream fur on Kirara's back. "Where've you been?" she asked.
Kirara meowed again and tugged on Kagome's skirt. Then she began to trot out the door. Kagome stayed where she was so Kirara traipsed back and tugged on Kagome's skirt harder this time, "Oh, you want me to come with you!" Kagome exclaimed.
Kirara meowed loudly and nodded her head. Kagome sighed and followed her. Out of the room down the steps out of the door and into the forest, she found Miroku sitting against a tree there. Kagome glared coldly at him. "Miroku, what do you want?"
"I just want someone to listen to me," Miroku said quietly, "And someone to believe me,"
Kagome pursed her lips but sat down to Miroku, "well, I promise to solve the first one."
And so Miroku started to explain his side of the story, Kirara perched on his lap.
Now that I am believed,
The mysteries are beginning to unravel.
But they are still unsolved,
And in the mean time
My love remains out of reach.
For as soon as these mysteries are solved,
She will forgive me, and trust will stay,
No longer will there be betrayal caused by me.
