Chapter 2

From a Worm's Eye View (or a Hentai's)

&&&&

What happened last time…

The taijya gave her a confused look, sitting down on the ground she looked from the bag to Kagome, back to the bag and to Miroku, and then to Inuyasha… She did a double take at the hanyou, specifically the black and white beads around his neck. Her eyes lit up as she realized what this meant, turning back to Kagome she nearly tackled the girl with her hug. After a couple moments she pulled back and Kagome's eyes glittered,

"Kaede told me to use them well, and now I'm telling you to do the same."

&&&&

The boys exchanged a look, both thinking the same thing, 'What's in the brown bag?'

Miroku wondered how one little thing could make her so happy so easily. His eyes widened in surprise when her eyes locked with his. She knew exactly what she had to do, and she didn't waste a second. The taijya stood up and walked towards the monk, a devious smile on her lips as she swung her hips ever so slightly. Miroku licked his lips as a hentai glint entered his eyes, she knelt beside him and gave him an innocent look.

Her voice was low and seductive, "You really want to know what's in here?"

He gave his biggest Hentai grin, "As a matter of fact, yes!"

"Are you sure?"

Inuyasha watched the whole thing silently, he was becoming increasingly aware of the taijya's drastic change in behavior. She walked as a tiger would, approaching her prey with stealth and a mischievious sparkle in her eye.

Sango knelt down next to the monk and reached into the bag, fingering the cool beats between her fingers as her heart began pounding with anticipation, with a dangerous look in her eye she asked, "Are you positive?"

Miroku, of course, was falling completely for the act. He was completely oblivious to Inuyasha shaking his head, or Kagome rubbing her hands together in anticipation, or even Kirara cocking her head at her master's strange behavior. The monk disreguarded all the little alarms going off in his head as his hand made its deadly journey. Just as his accursed hand was about to make contact with her backside she whipped out the beads, threw them around his neck, and yelled "HENTAI!" at the top of her lungs!

The rosary glowed an eerie purple and slammed his neck into the ground. Inuyasha had smelled the danger as soon as he saw the look on the taijya's face when she opened the bag. And he knew the monk was going to revert to his habits. But even he was thrown for a loop as the taijya threw the monk into submission with a familiar Thud! Seeing the beads and Miroku's personal imprint in the ground was a surprise for both of them.

The hanyou looked to the miko, then to the taijya, who was heralding a triumphant grin as she said happily, "Maybe slaps and bumps weren't enough, hopefully this will get him to learn."

Inuyasha marveled at the scene that was usually taking place between he and Kagome. It was nice not to be the one on the ground, and he had to admit, the taijya had a point! But he couldn't help but worry over the miko's new ability to make the accursed beads whenever she pleased. He pondered what would happen if she made several for their enemies. It would certainly be nice if Naraku or Kouga had a strand! Defeating them would be a piece of cake! But… on the other hand… she could pile them around his neck and really drag him to hell.

Miroku lay there, pain shooting up and down his body, he groaned slightly, 'So this is how Inuyasha feels… ouch!'

The monk just lay there, even after the spell wore off, just sitting, and staring at the dirt. Several moments later he spit out the grass and pebbles he had been forced to bite down on. He slowly pulled himself up, finally reaching a sitting position and looking up to see a very satisfied taijya, and a beaming miko.

"Kagome, I'm glad to see your powers are improving but… GET THIS OFF ME!"

He pulled at the beads, but couldn't get them over his head, he could feel it pull him back down each time he tried. Each time he touched the glowing beads is seemed as though they could sense his resistance and began activating. The harder he pulled, the harder it pulled him to the ground.

Kagome quelled her giggles and shrugged, "I can't pull them off anymore, you will have to ask Sango-chan."

The monk's mouth dropped open as he turned to the taijya, "There has to be a way."

"Sorry Miroku. Only I can remove it," the taijya said with a grin.

"Then do so!"
"No, you have a lesson to learn, and I think it will be a nice reminder," she fingered the beads around his neck playfully.

Shippo had been watching the scene next to Kirara and was rolling in laughter. He quickly received a whack in the head from the hanyou, "WHAT? I wasn't laughing at you! You-"

The hanyou bared his fangs as he growled menacingly, "You know… Kagome has another one in her bag."

"EEP! KAGOME!" the kit sprinted to her and hid in her hair, poking his head around her shoulder.

The miko smiled comfortingly and patted him on the head as she smiled at the hanyou, "Oh I think even you are going to like what I have planned for that one."

Inuyasha was taken aback by her comment, but his mind hoped that it was for Kouga…

One down and one to go! (snickers)

Well R&R I want to know how long to make this one! Cause I can make it short or long! The new laptop will arrive on Friday so I can write the next chapters for everything then… so within the next couple of weeks I will probably have at least one new chapter for each one and hopefully start up the others… talk to ya later!
