(A/N): Wehoo! I'm finally back, sorry for the lack of updates here but you won't be disappointed anymore! You asked more of Miroku and Sango and here it is and from now onward also be expecting more Inu/Kago, Kouga/Ayame, maybe if the fans want me to I can also make an extra chapter of Rin/Sesshou and of course Miro/San!

Disclaimer: Maybe I own the rat that slid inside my boots last week or my dirty and stinky socks (who no one else would want and killed the poor rat) but nothing else. Much less Inuyasha (whimpers and digs a small cave for the just as unlucky rat).

Chapter 18:

The Cousin?

Last time:

There she saw as from between some students and heading their way came Miroku wearing a black dress shirt and dark pants. He was also carrying a backpack and was walking toward her friends and her.

Kagome sweatdropped, ´What is Miroku doing here anyway!´

Kagome was stunned as she saw Miroku wearing modern day clothes instead of his usual monk robes, he was carrying a brownish schoolbag, and he was heading their way.

Ayame and Sango couldn't stop watching at the young newcomer that was walking toward them. Sango stared at him with sparkles in her eyes. She suddenly had this strange feeling and she believed he was so handsome, so perfect, she wanted him for herself. When this thought came to her mind she blushed and sighed wistfully.

Miroku continued his way until he got to where Kagome, Sango, and Ayame were. He stopped and turned to face the girls.

"Hello beauties," after he said these he grinned widely and his teeth shined.

Kagome grumbled slightly as Sango and Ayame giggled. Kagome made a movement with her head and Miroku approached her. She dragged him by his shirt and made some distance from her friends so they couldn't hear their conversation.

"What is it?" he whispered.

Kagome hissed in his ear, " What on earth are you doing here!"

Miroku shrugged, "Nothing, it's just that I wanted to know you time and this way it would be easier to protect you."

"But you don't know anything about my era!" she responded sounding a bit louder.

"Hey! I'm a fast learner!" he shouted back.

"Yeah, right, just tell me what have you planned about..."

Before she could say something else Miroku had stopped her shouting by groping her bottom, as he did when they met.

Kagome slapped him, "What was that all about!"

"You were losing control," said Miroku simply and started rubbing his swollen cheek.

Kagome's gesture turned softer as she apologized, "I'm sorry Miroku, it's just that I had a complicated moment with Tsubaki..."

Miroku nodded in understand as his master sighed heavily.

"Okay, I'll keep it down but don't make a mess out of it," said Kagome talking back in a whisper when she suddenly noticed the curious looks that were set upon them. She turned back at Miroku, "I just don't want to get in trouble." After she said these she turned to the floor shyly.

Miroku continued rubbing his cheek, "Okay, but that hurt..."

Kagome glanced back at him, " So you learn, just do that again!"

Miroku smiled mischievously but then sighed, "As you wish."

Kagome frowned but heard Sango calling her. She turned and noticed Sango and Ayame staring at them in wonder. Ayame approached Miroku and studied his face, then he turned to Kagome.

"Kags, do you know him?"

Kagome pondered about it and a logical answer, ´What to say? What to say?´ she thought. She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Miroku's response.

"My name is Miroku Houshi. Kagome here is my cousin."

Ayame stared at Kagome waiting for her answer. She simply nodded not knowing what to explain to her friend.

Sango frowned, "Cousins? But you have different last names."

Kagome reasoned an answer quickly. She thought about it so fast that even Miroku was stunned, "We're distant cousins."

Now it was Ayame's turn to frown, "Distant?" She tilted her head in question.

Miroku turned to Kagome with a worried look. She nudged him so he just nodded as Kagome continued her explanation, "Hai. He is the son of the brother of my father's father." She lied and ended with a wide grin.

Sango, Ayame, and even Miroku blinked confused. Kagome nudged Miroku again and he simply nodded, "Exactly!"

Ayame and Sango turned to one another and blinked with confusion and turned back to the "far off cousins".

Sango bit her lip and finally talked, " So, what are you doing here?"

Kagome turned to Miroku, she too was wondering about that, she pondered about what would be his answer to Sango. Now she knew why he didn't respond her calls that morning, he wasn't sleeping but preparing himself. Kagome almost had a heart attack when she knew about his "surprise", she had clearly forbid him to come to her school but it seemed he was determined to know the "Modern Age" everyone talked about recently.

Miroku cleared his throat, "I just moved to town."

Kagome sighed with relief, ´What a great excuse!´ she thought.

Sango nodded as she stared at Miroku suspiciously then she grinned and stretched her hand toward Ayame and Kagome as if presenting them.

"Welcome buddy, my name is Sango Taijiya and she is Ayame Tachi."

Ayame smiled and waved, "Pleased to meet you."

Miroku grinned and Sango blushed because of his cute expression. Kagome noticed and nudged Sango slightly. She turned to her still looking red and whispered on her ear while her "cousin" greeted Ayame.

"Kagome, I don't know how to say this but I think he's cute..."

Kagome smiled, "Go meet him."

Sango nodded shyly and turned back to Miroku turning redder, "Well, why don't you tell me about you?"

Miroku smiled sweetly, "Why don't you tell me?"

Sango grinned while turning ten shades of pink. Ayame and Kagome had made some distance to leave them alone and have a fine chat. They smiled mischievously as they stared at the couple.

"Look at that Kags, Sango likes him," said Ayame giggling.

Kagome nodded, "Yep, I could say it was love at first sight..."

Ayame nodded in approval as they continued looking at Sango and Miroku. It was strange because it was odd to see Sango looking bashful with a guy. It seemed as if it was a spark between them, and Kagome chuckled because of the thought, maybe it was a charm. She chuckled again. Now that she thought about it they could make a cute couple together.

Miroku and Sango were chatting happily and at every comment Sango giggled while blushing. She was almost like a tomato.

"Hey and do you think we could be good friends?" she asked shyly.

Miroku nodded and put his hands on Sango's shoulders making her shocked with astonishment. Sango grinned understanding the message and she turned to Kagome and Ayame who were still looking at them in suspicion.

Sango noticed and felt embarrassed, "Hey! What you looking at?"

Kagome and Ayame giggled, "Nothing."

Miroku turned downward and stared at Sango's butt. He smiled mischievously and was about to touch it when he stopped with regret.

´No you can't do that! Not with this girl!´

Suddenly a winged thumb-sized angel Miroku appeared on his left shoulder saying: "Miroku you must get a hold of your perverted ideas. Maybe she's the one and only and you're going to lose her because of being a hentai?"

Then on his right shoulder appeared an also thumb-sized devil Miroku saying: "Bah! Don't listen to that fool and do it!"

Miroku turned hesitantly to Sango's bottom again but resisted the temptation. The Angel Miroku joined his hands as if praying and flapped its mini-sized wings, "Well done Miroku."

The Devil Miroku nudged him with his trident angrily, "Don't be stupid! Come on!"

Miroku sighed heavily as the Devil Miroku continued talking, "Aw, come on! You know you want to!"

The Angel Miroku shook his finger reproachfully to Miroku, "No! You mustn't..."

All of a sudden Sango opened her eyes wide, she blushed, and clenched her fists with fury when she felt Miroku's hand touching her behind! And with pleasure!

She snarled slightly and turned back to Miroku who flinched. The Angel Miroku slowly started hovering over his shoulder shooking his head in disapproval, " You shouldn't have done it." After saying these he disappeared in a small cloud of white smoke. Miroku turned to the Devil Miroku who was hovering to. "Ha!" he said, "Idiot!" and with a "puff" he too disappeared within a red cloud of powder. Miroku turned back to Sango awaiting his fate.

Ayame and Kagome sighed disappointed as Sango hit and smacked Miroku who was shouting for mercy. Curious looks were set upon them as Sango beat the crap out of Miroku.

Ayame turned to Kagome with a frown, "Didn't you mean love at first grope?"

Kagome shrugged, "I guess." She smiled slightly, "There are definitely a great couple."

Ayame half nodded, "There are made for one another..."

Kagome agreed as they saw Sango hitting Miroku now with the counselor's broom. Miroku screamed out in pain and fear, he couldn't escape this one because he couldn't use magic in public.

"Stupid Devil..." whispered Miroku as Sango twisted his arm.

Ayame blinked with surprise, "Hey. Should we stop it? Isn't it enough?"

Kagome and her stared at Sango smacked him loudly and the sound echoed throughout the hallways. Students were already gathering to see the "show".

Kagome pondered about it but shook her head in denial, " No. He's into this mess by himself so he will get his butt out of it alone."

Ayame nodded as she turned back to her friend beating the pervert.

After some minutes Ayame called Kagome again, "What is it?" she asked not willing to miss the entertainment.

"Now?" asked Ayame feeling desperate.

Kagome turned back at them and nodded, "Now!"

Ayame took Sango by the shoulders to stop her while Kagome ran next to Miroku who was on the floor almost unconscious and his hand was twitching.

"Are you okay Miroku?" asked Kagome concerned. He didn't answer.

Ayame turned to Sango amused, "You sure beat the crap out of him."

Sango "humphed" and turned her face away, "That hentai asked for it!"

Kagome was about to ask Miroku if he was okay one more time when she felt he had groped her too. He was fully conscious.

Kagome took Miroku by the shirt's collar and pulled him down the aisle away from the peepers and a raging Sango.

"He is fully awake and full of energy!" she shouted.

Miroku smiled weakly yet mischievously and held his hand high in the air, "It's the hand! I swear!"
