Chapter 3- Introductions and Explanations
All three, preoccupied with the present awkwardness of the situation, failed to notice the approach of the others of their traveling group.
Sango was the first to speak. "Kagome, what are you still doing here..."
Apparently Maria had just been noticed. Shippo ran up to her, gave her a solid look, and declared aloud:
"I trust her. By the way, who ARE you?"
Startled for a moment by the adorable kitsune's blunt honesty, she bent over, resting her hands on her knees, and introduced herself.
"Hey there, I'm Maria. And who are you?"
Before Shippo could answer, Miroku had taken advantage of the situation, bending with Maria and letting his hand wander as it often did with Sango.
Amazingly enough, Maria didn't respond immediately. Sango and Inuyasha were about to step in when Kagome signaled them to stop with a warning look to get back.
Maria slowly angled her head to Miroku and looked him dead in the eye. Mistaking her look, Miroku asked her his trademark question.
"Would you bear my child?"
Arching one eyebrow, Maria delicately responded, "I'm afraid that we haven't been introduced yet, is that your preferred manner of getting acquainted?" A slow, suggestive smile grew on her face, her eyes still fixed on his.
For once, Miroku was at a loss for words, his eyes large and his mouth open in astonishment. Recovering quickly, he replied, "I'm glad that you are so open to new forms of introduction.."
Still smiling, Maria said huskily, "So please, allow me to respond as the situation requires."
In the blink of an eye, her left hand grabbed his right shoulder, pushing him while she slammed her knee inbetween his legs and further lowered the chances of him ever being able to provide a woman with a child. The others (excepting Kagome) watched in astonishment as Miroku fell to his knees and then collapsed on the ground, clutching himself in pain.
"From the bruises on his cheek, I assume that he should have known from previous encounters not to do that." This statement solicited a bright blush from Sango, though it went largely unnoticed.
The focus of the group now landed on Maria, who was giving Miroku the deadliest of looks.
"I don't appreciate such treatment, especially from one in the costume of an ancient monk. So much for being a HOLY man."
Sango looked at Kagome inquisitively, expecting an answer.
"Maria is... from a different land. She came to spend a year or two with my family weeks ago. When she got here, well..let's just say that another guy tried to get to 'know her' right in front of me. And the result was identical to that." Kagome punctuated her statement by pointing to the pervert monk now curled into a ball on the ground.
Maria spoke up suddenly.
"Excuse me for interrupting, but..."
"Yea?"
Maria swiftly ran her eyes over the people who were obviously friends of Kagome, and whose appearances she had been subtly examining during the conversation she had just interrupted.
"Judging by everything and everyone here, I venture to guess that we're not in Kansas anymore."
