Chapter Seven: Kagome Meets Miroku

Miroku and Inuyasha were in the large livingroom. Miroku watching TV and Inuyasha, once again, eating ramen for dinner.

Miroku glanced over at the dog eared hanyou. "Inuyasha, don't you ever get tired of that stuff? You've eaten nothing but ramen for almost two weeks straight!"

Inuyasha glanced up at the would-be monk with a bored expression on his face. "No," he said through a mouthful of the flavored noodles.

Miroku shook his head and glanced out the large picture window before he turned his attention back to the Tokyo News Team 7. And he did a double take back to the window. I could've sworn I just saw someone coming out of the well house, he thought, standing and walking over to the large window, narrowing his eyes through the darkness that had settled over the shrine grounds after the sun had set. "Hmm,"

"Oi, what are you gawking at?" Inuyasha grumbled, slurping up more ramen.

"Nothing, just thought I saw something," The black haired monk replied absently. He leaned closer to the window. And nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw a pair of green eyes flash through the darkness, reflecting the light from inside the house. "Okay, I know I saw something this time," he said, not really realizing he had spoken until Inuyasha said something in reply.

"What you see? Your reflection?" He grumbled, standing and walking over to look out the window next to the monk.

Miroku motioned for Inuyasha to be quiet, using his monk training to see if what he saw had a human aura or a youkai aura. He felt the powerful aura of a youkai, though he couldn't identify what type it was. "Inuyasha, there's a demon out there," he said, turning to look at the white haired man beside him.

Inuyasha let out a growl as his instinks kicked in slightly. What's another youkai doing on my territory! His youkai half fumed with rage.

Inuyasha did let a low rumble escape his throat. "I'll take care of it," he said, bounding out of the livingroom and out the front door with out making a sound.

He rushed out into the yard, using the darkness to cloak his presence. He lifted his nose, trying to scent out the youkai. But the wind was blowing down wind and he couldn't scent a thing. Dammit, he thought with frusteration.

But he still had his fantastic dog like hearing. His white ears stood straight up, catching every sound in the yard. The crikets chirping, the cars down in the streets of Tokyo, the TV playing in the livingroom. And the intruder prowling just behind the well house.

Inuyasha, quickly and silently, bounded over to the Goshinboku, jumping high into the branches and using its thick leaves to hide himself.

He watched the well house, until his golden eyes picked out a shadowy figure sneacking out from behind it and moving cautiously towards the house. Just a but closer, Inuyasha thought as the intruder slowy made his way under the Goshinboku, right underneath the dog hanyou.

The prowler was right underneath Inuyasha now and with a yell, he pounced on the person, both of them tumbling to the ground

Kagome had spent half the day in the well house, scared to venture out into the unknown that was the future. Finally, around after sunset, she had gathered the courage to jump out of the well and wander, slowly, out of the well. And she almost jumped back through the Well at the new things she heard, saw, and smelt.

The air reeked of something that smelled almost like smoke, but was thicker and caused her to cough and her green eyes to water. The noise hurt her pointed cat ears and gave her an instant head ache, making her pin her red ears to her head to attempt to block out some of the sound. She saw moving lights coming from off in the distant, and there were buildings that were nothing like the huts she was used to seeing in Kaede's village!

One of those moving lights let off a loud noise that sounded like a dying horse and Kagome jumped behind the building that housed the Well, fearing that a youkai was going to attack for entering into its territory with out its permission.

What kind of future is this? She wondered, her heart pounding like a rabbit being chased by a fox.

Once her heart rate returned to something close to normal, she ventured out from behind the building, finally getting a good look at her surroundings. Where could that dog be? She thought, her gaze finally landing on a larger structure with more glowing light.

She slowly began to make her way towards the large structure, glancing about her wildly, keeping an eye out for any attacking youkai. Too bad she didn't glance up when she was under the Goshinboku. If she had, she would have noticed a pair of brightly glowing amber eyes watching her every move. But she didn't.

The next thing Kagome knew, there was a yell from above her and she didn't even have the chance to glance up towards the noise before a heavy weight crashed into her, causing her to go crashing to the ground and roll slightly.

Kagome was scared sensless. She thought it was a youkai prepairing to kill her for trespassing. She glanced about her wildly, looking for her attacker, until her eyes locked with a familure pair of amber eyes glaring back at her. "Inuyasha?" She asked in a small, uncertain sound voice.

Inuyasha stopped his growling at the voice he heard the soft femenine voice that was coming from beneath him. He sniffed the air and his golden eyes widened in surprise when he recognized the scent. "What are you doing here, you mangy cat?" He growled out, getting off of the neko hanyou almost in disgust.

Kagome was still breathing hard, but she stood up, brushing her kimono clean of the grass that was clinging to her. But before he opened her mouth to reply to the hanyou, another voice interrupted.

"Inuyasha, what's going on?" Came Miroku's voice as he jogged over to the two hanyous, assuming that he had taken care of the youkai he had sensed.

Inuyasha growled in irratition and crossed his arms over his chest stubbornly. "Feh, nothing's going on, you baka monk," he mumbled, turning his back on the neko that was now glaring daggers at his turned back.

Miroku slowed his jog to a walk when he saw the two, Inuyasha with his back turned, and the most beautiful female, neko hanyou he had ever seen. "Well, well, well. Inuyasha, aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?" He questioned, giving the neko a charming smile when she glanced at him.

"Feh, she ain't no friend of mine. She's just a stinkin' cat," Inuyasha mumbled a reply.

Kagome's eyes flared. "Who you callin' a stinkin' cat, you worthless mutt?" She hissed.

Inuyasha whirled around, his own amber eyes flashing as well. "Wortless mutt! Listion, you bi-"

Miroku interupted the dog hanyou before he could finish his sentence. "Now, Inuyasha, that is no way to talk to a lady of such beauty." He said and walked over to Kagome and smiled charmingly once more.

He bowed politey. "I am Miroku." He said.

Kagome blushed at being showed such respect. She returned the bow. "Its a pleasure. I am Kagome, the neko hanyou." She replied.

Miroku straightened, smiled again, and took a step closer to the lovely neko hanyou. "Kagome, may I ask you one question?" He asked, still smiling.

Kagome cocked her head curiously, and nodded her consent.

Oh boy, is he gonna get it. Inuyasha thought with an inward groan, waiting for the inedable to happen.

Miroku got very close to Kagome, so close that their bodies were almost touching. "Kagome, would you do me the greatest honor of bearing my child?" He asked, reaching around and grabbing ahold of Kagome's butt.

Kagome's face turned blood red and her eyes widened in shock when she heard the question. And then her eyes narrowed in anger as she felt a wandering hand groping her rear. Her left eye began to tick. "You hentai!" She screamed, slapping him so hard across his face that he not only fell to the ground, but he flew back in the direction of the house.

Inuyasha was smirking, fighting the urge to laugh out right. "Oi, Miroku, you alright?" He called after the monk.

Miroku stood shakily to his feet, a burning hand print on his cheek. "Inuyasha, next time remind me not to grope a female hanyou with a temper," he said and then fell back to the ground, blacking out with a goofy smile on his face.
