Chapter two- Conflict
The morning had come and the ground was covered in the morning's dew. The sky painted with dark shades of gray and the air flowing with a fresh breeze of air. The sky growled lightly, making it known that a storm was brewing. The monk was awake and was outside standing, just outside the hut. His posture was calm, but proper, his eyes stared out into the horizon as if he were to find something. His shakujou was held loosely in his hand as it stood on the ground, being held up by the monk. The monk's mind was wandering and he was thinking about many things.
"My cursed hand...has been passed down to me...and...if I were to defeat Naraku...the kazzana would disperse...and if a woman were to bear my child...I would not need to worry...but...what if it is so powerful...that my life will end anyways along with the next generation...I could not put Sango through so much pain...such hurt...maybe it would be best to leave her, let her find another...I could not allow myself to put her though so much pain...maybe I should leave the group...if I really think about it...I make no difference if I am there or not...all I really do is go after women while the others are serious...and Sango, Inuyasha, and Kagome are strong enough to make up for my absence...I shall leave to"
His thought was interrupted by a soft feminine voice. The monk turned around and saw the youkai slayer smiling softly at him, her soft, kind eyes looking right through him. "I...I've been thinking Miroku-san...I really have...even in my dreams...I've been thinking about you and me...we're good friends...and although you grope me...I still get over it...an" The youkai slayer had suddenly stopped talking. The monk's index finger was placed upon her lips and he smiled softly.
The taijiya's cheeks filled with a light shade of pink. Miroku got close to Sango and his smile ran right through her. "It's alright Sango-chan...there is no need to explain anything...lets just leave it be...it's not important..." He said and he moved his finger and
Sango had blushed more. "MMiroku-san..." She tried to speak more, but words had failed her. The monk went back into the hut and sat down, the miko had made everyone breakfast, it had been food from her era.
The slayer soon came back into the hut as well and everyone started to eat and was pleased with the sensational tastes that had formed in their mouths. The smiling faces of her fellow friends told the miko that her cooking was a hit. When they all finished they cleaned up and then stood up and looked outside, it had started to rain, the ground being consumed by water. "Hmmm...it's a good thing I came prepared..." Kagome took out three umbrellas from her overly stuffed backpack. She handed one to Inuyasha, it was a red and yellow umbrella, she then handed one to Miroku and she winked at him, his umbrella had a panda bear on it with blue raindrop on it, and Kagome's umbrella was blue with pink dots on it. They opened them up and stepped outside, their feet causing a small splash in the water. They began to walk to the next village in hopes for any signs of the demon Naraku. Miroku had asked Sango to share his umbrella with her, Sango didn't walk close to Miroku so his wanderous hand could not reach her.
"Sango-chan...you are going to get soaking wet...why do you stand so far out?hmhm" He moved close to Sango so she wouldn't be getting wet.
Sango knowing it was useless to resist his generosity stayed close to him, secretly enjoying his closeness and she gave off a small smile and thought "I can feel his body's warmth...why is he so warm? It's so cold out...he's not even shaking and he doesn't have goosbumps...I bet he's even warmer without his clothes on...AH..what am I thinking? Have I gone crazy? This...I...ew...god! How could I have thought that about Miroku-san? Ohhh..." She looked down and embarrassed by herself.
Miroku looked at her. "Is something the matter Sango-chan?"
"Uh...no! Nothing's wrong!" She said as she laughed a little nervously.
"Oh..I see...alright then..." The monk said as he smiled slyly. Sango then scowled at him, thinking he was up to something. Miroku looked away and he smiled nervously. "That look.."He thought. Everyone continued to walk, Inuyasha and Kagome talked to each other, the hanyou not caring, but listening anyways. Shippou walking with Kirara and back to Sango and Miroku. They were silent, not a word came from their mouth. Every time the monk went to talk, the youkai slayer gave him the same old look. What had he done? He was not going to grope her, simply...break the silence.
Finally the youkai slayer said. "Miroku-san? When do you suppose we will find all of the Shikon Jewel shards? What about...Kohaku..?" She looked down at the ground as they walked. The monk looked at her, he did not know what to say. What could he have said? Finally he spoke hoping these words would help.
"We will find the shards when it is time for us to collect them all...we have not have completed our missions...and we may know what those missions are...and we may Not…but we will indeed find the shards and your brother...he is kind...and innocent like you...he will be saved." This brought tears to Sango's eyes, but she tried to hold them back. Suddenly the monk held the youkai slayer softly, comforting her and not trying to feel her up.
Kagome seeing this, thought it was romantic and she was smiling hopelessly, while Inuyasha looked at the miko oddly. The rain started to let up from the break in the sky. The blue patch of sky that shown was as blue as ever, the suns rays hitting the group as they walked on, Kagome lowered her umbrella, but kept it open, for when the clouds moved back over them. Sango's tears had dried and the monk let go of her, a soft smile appeared on both of their faces. Though the youkai slayer was still skeptical about the monk, she did allow him to be close to her. The miko feeling happy went up to Miroku and Sango, leaving the hanyou behind and all alone. "You guys look so cute sharing an umbrella! You really do..."
Sango blushed and Miroku smiled more. "Thank you Kagome-san, you are...to kind." Sango said still blushing.
"Mhm! No problem!" Kagome replied back.
