Different Sides of the Track

Chapter 15: Lies and Deceit

"K-Kikyo?"

InuYasha gaped. Kikyo smirked at his loss of words and nodded. Naraku watched in mild interest for a second while Ayama stood in the far corner of the room, apparently bored.

"Yes InuYasha, I've come back. I've missed you so much."

She plastered a smile onto her face and embraced him.

"Kikyo, how?"

"Naraku. He brought me back. Now we can start from where we left off InuYasha."

InuYasha's mind was a blank. Nothing could compare to this. The feeling of having one you thought was lost to the world forever returned. He hugged Kikyo back, inhaling her scent. He had missed it terribly.

"Kikyo, I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you as well InuYasha."

Naraku smirked to himself. Everything was going as he hoped.

"Good. I'm glad to see that you to are once again happy together. InuYasha, as you can guess I don't need your services today. Why don't you and Kikyo go out for a late lunch?"

Still not comprehending anything, InuYasha walked out of the training room. Ayama watched him go, worry was evident on her face. This was the same hanyou who loved Kagome right? Would he be so easily swayed? One thing was for certain however. The monk must know. He could decide whether or not Kagome needed to know.

"Naraku-sama, I'm going. I'll be by later."

"Ayama, don't ruin this. No telling anyone."

"Yes Naraku-sama."

She walked out of the room, going threw a hall and out to a parking lot. Getting in her car, she drove to where she knew the monk would be.

"Miroku! Good to see you! Haven't been in for awhile have we?"

"Mushine, ya old drunkard! Long time no see gramps."

"I'm offended Miroku."

"Don't be."

"So what'll it be?"

"Just a beer gramps."

Miroku looked around his surroundings. Jewels of Souls was the biggest strip joint in town. The ladies all had rather clean reputations, Madam Zenski was very careful about who she let work for her. Sango was one of the best dancers in the whole joint, and she was very well known for not letting anyone take advantage of her on stage.

Smiling, Miroku watched as Sango walked onto the stage. Her hips were moving in beat to the exotic music that was being played. He only frowned for a second when he noticed just how little she wore. Nothing but a bra-ish thing and a form of a thong that covered more. The skirt around the back of her was sheer, so it didn't do much. But when she started dancing, he forgot all thought of her clothes.

Sango took the piece of skirt off and sung it seductively in front of her as she walked the length of the broad walk. She took the steps down still swaying and moving in time to the music, he eyes set on Miroku. Not completely ignoring everyone at her sides, she teased them with little touches and glances. Finally getting to Miroku, she straddled his lap, wrapping the piece of cloth around the back side of his neck. They locked eyes, and both started moving in time to the music.

When her song ended and the next dancer came on, Sango and Miroku stopped moving, but Sango did not leave his lap.

Ayama pulled into the parking lot of Jewels of Souls and turned her car off. Checking one last time to make sure that she was not being followed, she entered the building, squinting to see threw the blanket of smoke that covered the room.

Seeing both the monk and his girlfriend, she moved towards them.

Miroku glanced up, looking around.

"What is it?"

"I'm sorry my dear, but we have unwanted company."

Miroku spotted Ayama in the crowd, moving towards Sango and himself. He gently pushed Sango off him and stood to meet her.

"What do you want?"

"How do you know I want any thing?"

Miroku smirked and motioned around him.

"So your telling me that your into girls more than guys?"

Ayama scowled and sat down at the bar.

"Damn. Both of you should sit. I have something not too good to tell you."

Sango and Miroku looked around. Anyone could easily eaves drop on them. Sango motioned for Miroku to head towards the back room. He did, and she told Ayama.

Entering the room, Sango closed the door and turned to face Ayama, as did Miroku.

"Well?"

"She's back. And your little half breed friend doesn't seem to be able to resist her."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Kikyo."

Ayama glanced at Miroku. He was the one who answered Sango's question. She mentally praised him at being slightly less thick then the half breed.

"Yes, the miko witch is back. Naraku is trying to break you all up. He's starting with InuYasha, because he is the biggest threat. Most likely he will move to Kouga and Ayame then you two next. I am just delivering a warning."

She made towards the door, but Miroku leaned against it.

"Tell me, just why are you helping us?"

"Because no one likes Naraku. You think that I want to work for him? He has me just like he has all of you. Now please move."

Sango nodded behind Ayama and Miroku moved.

"They're eating lunch. Most likely at the café on main street. That seems like the type of thing Kikyo would like."

"It was her favorite spot. InuYasha was always there."

Miroku pulled out his cell phone. Dialing InuYasha's number, he motioned for Sango to stay quiet.

"Yeah? Hello?"

"InuYasha?"

"Miroku? What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Where are you?"

"Uh… Some where."

"Well, I've never been there."

"That café."

"With?"

"Um, Kagome?"

"Alright. Bye InuYasha."

"Bye?"

Miroku hit end and turned to Sango.

"You wanna call Kagome?"

"Sure."

Sango dialed Kagome's number and waited for her to pick up. She did after a few rings.

"Hello?"

"Hey Kagome! What are you doing?"

"Nothing much, just ordered some take out, you?"

"Shift just ended. I'll talk to you later k?"

"Yeah. Bye!"

"Bye."

Sango sighed and looked sadly at Miroku.

"He's lying. And she is in the dark."

"Well then, we have to get to the bottom of this."

"Right."
