Inuyasha © Rumiko Takahashi, NOT ME!
A powerful smell enveloped Kagome and Sango while coming back from their hunting trip when. It was the stench of death. They rushed towards the smell, much to their noses dismay and found a terrifying site. The Taiji family castle was destroyed.
A few shattered frames here, some smoking clothes there and hundreds of pieces of shattered glass. Then they saw something that would have made less courageous women run, reenacting their previous meal--backwards. In the middle of the building lay the decapitated bodies of Sango's family and all the servants. Broken weapons littered the ground around them. It was obvious there was some sort of fight. Then Sango just couldn't take it. She broke down crying. Kagome ran over to Sango's shivering form and hugged her, tears silently streaming down her own face. They would have to find a new life, try to get on, forget the past.
"There, there, Sango. They're in a better place. Why don't you and I go down to the Marketplace and see if anyone will take us in? You know, so we can get some money to go one with our lives?" Kagome said gently. Sango nodded slightly, still sniffling. Off the two girls went to try and make a new life out of the old one.
Inuyasha found Miroku at the Marketplace in the village trying to woo yet another girl.
"Psst. Hey Miroku, I'm running away and I your need help." Inuyasha jabbed Miroku in a slightly less than friendly way.
"Whoa! No way Inuyasha! I have finally found a girl with which whom things are working out with and I am not getting involved in another of you hare-brained schemes, not again! Remember what happened last time?" Miroku waved his right hand in Inuyasha's face.
"Sure Miroku, whatever. Just wait 'til I tell your little girlfriend about your little habit of cheating. Oh did I say that out loud?" Inuyasha said with a mock disappointed voice.
"Oh dear, It seems I have forgotten to – err – iron the bed sheets…yeah." The girl who had been massaging Miroku suddenly remembered something important she forgot to do and excused herself.
"Inuyasha, you'll be the end of me, you know that right?" Miroku sighed despairingly.
"Yep and it makes me so happy!" Inuyasha chirped happily. A big grin appeared on his face.
"And this is coming from a guy who spends half his time depressed." Miroku muttered to himself.
"I HEARD THAT!" Inuyasha yelled and the two men went off in search of something to do with the rest of their lives. Who knew it would them hit smack dab in the nuts. Literally.
Sango had finally been cheering up. Kagome had found her some persimmons, which Sango loved dearly so. A certain perverted monk had been eyeing Sango for the past hour and was about to make a move when Kagome called to her.
"Hey Sango! Look at this! They've got some more persimmons and apples here!" Sango turned around sharply at the sound of Kagome's voice. She lost her balance and scrabbled for something to hold. This caused a nearby wheelbarrow to overturn. It flipped over and its handles quickly swung upwards between the unfortunate monk's legs. A dazed and pained expression came over Miroku as he clutched himself between the legs. Rocking back and forth in the fetal position he whimpered slightly and started shuddering.
"A little help here? Anyone?" Miroku called out weakly. Inuyasha stood by stunned for a moment and started laughing uproariously.
"You got what you deserved for you lecherous ways! I hope that wheel barrow permanently damaged your ability to make children!" Inuyasha managed to choke out.
"Very funny Inuyasha, I hope they get your balls too," Miroku managed to force out weakly.
Both Sango and Kagome were horrified and immediately went to help the injured monk to his feet. They were supporting him between their shoulders with Miroku hanging limply between them when the infamous hand of Miroku went to work. Both girls simultaneously dropped Miroku like a hot potato and Sango gave him a resounding slap on the face. When Miroku recovered a bid pink handprint could still be seen on his face. Inuyasha was highly amused, Sango disgusted and Kagome absolutely appalled.
"So…where are you two going?" Inuyasha asked finally.
"No where really," Kagome said airily.
"Hey I just remembered. Why don't we look for the Shikon Jewel?" Miroku exclaimed.
"Eh?" Was the reply that came in unison.
"Yeah it's this weird jewel, it grants the holder any wish as long as it's in possession."
"Sango, do you think maybe we should…you know, to bring them back," Kagome said uneasily. She was afraid to bring up the topic in case Sango was still sad.
"Yes, sure. Why not?" Sango said grimly.
"And if we fail we would have had a good time eh?" Kagome said.
"Yes! Alright! We're off!" Sango called to Miroku. "You guys comin'?" The guys ran doggedly after them, each having their own reasons for the Shikon jewel.
This chapter is really short but only coz I have other things to do like finish off some drawings. I'll try to write more! Promise!
