Miroku looked at the fire, listening to the burning wood crackle, and
the gentle pitter-patter of the rain upon the small hut's wooden roof. He
also heard the rain's gentle hiss as it came through the summer foliage
outside in the forest surrounding Kaede's hut, and listening to the birds
sing their gentle songs about these soft summer rains. It was times like
these that he felt truly lonely. He had nobody really to talk to when he
was alone like this, except himself. He looked at his hand, the source of
the solution to so many battles early on, even leading him into a life and
death struggle with Naraku's insects' poison on several occasions. It was
the reason that he and Sango could not be together when Naraku was alive...
Sango. The reason he was truly alive, that woman that seemed to make him determined to... to live on. The hope that she gave him and the smack in the face that came with it went hand in hand... (AN: NO IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS, BUT I LIKE IT SO STFU AND READ!)
His thoughts were cut short as he looked up to see Kilala saunter in, shaking her fur in annoyance, water spraying onto the fire, making it hiss like an angered snake. He smiled "If Kilala is around, then so is..." Sure enough, like a wet weatherman says "its raining," Sango lifted the wood screen of the hut aside to let herself in, as Shippo bounded into the hut as well, causing the fire to hiss even more, and then begin to sputter a bit. "Shippo! Please don't shake! You could put out the fire!" Miroku warned. Shippo was in the middle of getting his tail air-dried when he stopped, heeding the monk's warning. "Speaking of Shippo," the young priest thought, "I wonder where his grandparents got off to..." The fox kit took a small sniff of the air, his tail twitching once, and then twice, before he broke into a run, blowing out the door in a flash of crème fur.
"Shippo!" Sango cried in alarm as the little fox bounded straight between her legs in his rush to get out the door, causing her kimono to flip up a bit in his passing. She looked back at the houshi, slightly shocked, walking over to the far wall of the small hut, sighing softly as she lay back against the hard wood of the wall. "Feels great to be sitting again, we had been walking around all of last night because Shippo had a nightmare!"
Miroku sighed. He knew what the absence of Kagome's scent did to him. It made him worry about her, made him whimper randomly in his despair...
Just then something slammed into the wall right next to the door, then a soft thump was heard. A few seconds silence, then a nearby snigger, a chuckle, then an outright full-blown roar of laughter. Miroku got up and walked to the door shade and pushed it aside, looking to the right of the door, where a woman with a tuft of fur for a face lay twitching, as her face fur twitched with a mind of its own... soft crème fur.
The monk raised an eyebrow. "Wait a second," he said, intrigued as he walked over and plucked the ball of fur off the woman's face to see a very shocked expression on the woman's face, her amber eyes wide with surprise. Miroku suddenly saw exactly what had happened and joined in the raucous laughter that filled the forest around the little hut.
It seemed Kagome had been running ahead of Inuyasha, when Shippo burst out of the hut and jumped up to meet her, but misjudged it, landing clear in her face, causing her to be unable to stop and slam into the wall at near full speed.
A young man dressed in black ran over to Kagome's side, a worried expression on his face. "Higurashi-sama! Are you alright?" He got to a knee and was about to check her forehead when a very familiar voice rang out across the clearing. "Don't you DARE lay a finger on her Hobo!" As Miroku wiped his eyes of the tears that had formed from his laughing so hard, his best friend in red came dashing across the clearing, standing above Hojou, his claws threateningly exposed, "if you do, your meat! Understand?"
Hojou and Kagome both gave him dry looks. "I believe my name is Hojou, Inuyasha, you know, last time I checked, or did it change without my knowledge?" Hojou replied simply, as though expecting a full explanation for the "mistake".
Inuyasha stopped dead; only Naraku reacted as coolly under the full flare of his threats and insults. "Either this kid is really smart, or really stupid," he thought, a look of intrigue passing across his face, "I need to find out more about this guy." Inuyasha let the cogs go into motion as he gave Hojou one ungrateful "feh" of annoyance.
At this Kagome marveled. "Wow," she thought proudly, "And here I thought Hojou would wet his pants at Inuyasha's death threats."
Hojou carefully pulled back. "She is all yours, Inuyasha..." he said uneasily. It was just something about this Inuyasha that unnerved him, really rattled his marbles, just like Kagome did sometimes. Sure, he had played dumb most of the time, but that was just a front for a truly inquisitive mind at work behind the dopey facade.
Inuyasha walked over to Kagome's side, offering her a clawed hand. "What are you, stupid or something bitch? It's raining! Come on inside!" His face was smiling, belying his true purpose of the rough words.
Inuyasha's face suddenly blanched when he saw Kagome's face darken, a look of rage ripping the former look of marvel to shreds. With her claws, fangs, and ears twitching like mad. She now looked truly dangerous, and it was definitely time for an apology and fast before he got a good skinning, or sat to the center of the earth. Something suddenly clicked in his mind as he saw her mouth form into an "s" shape. He chuckled with mirth inside, "I actually wonder if this works anymore..." he speculated mentally.
One of three things could happen. The first thing that could happen would be that the sit command still works, and he would be in a lot of pain. This was not a very good option for him. The second course of action could be to clap a hand over her mouth, which would invariably get bitten, and then if he could keep his body over hers, a sit could be avoided. This option looked classically entertaining to him. Third, he could whisk her off somewhere and make up for the insult by being her... he gulped, he didn't exactly like that one... or did he?
He felt the tug of the necklace as she began her tirade, "SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!" As he felt the pain mount up on his already ridiculous tolerance for it, he thought, "Wehell, that answers that little stumper!" The necklace just kept making the hole he was in larger and larger, then he slipped into blackness around the 17th shriek of "SIT!"
When he came to, he felt cold. Not the "ooo... goose pimples" kind of cold, but the "Holy shit! It's cold!" kind. His first job was to peel himself off the now soggy dirt that his nose had been so roughly planted in. "Well, I guess I sort of deserve this for snapping at her..." he thought, shaking his head as he got up, his silvery locks losing their small clods of dirt, and hopped up, hearing a small shriek of surprise, then a small thud as he looked down to see one of Kagome's friends flat on her butt in the entrance.
He gave a classic "Feh!" of annoyance, and then extended a hand to her, which she gratefully took, and he pulled her to her feet. "You must be vigilant around here..." He started saying, but was cut of by his mate's shining face poking through the shade.
Kagome smiled gently at her mate. "He is so cute when he's actually concerned about someone. Too bad he doesn't show that side too often..." she thought fondly. He smiled back sheepishly, walking inside the now warm, and very damp, hut.
The fire was crackling merrily in the hearth in the middle of the small wood shack; the monk was against the wall to the left of him, while Kagome's friends were sitting in the back, looking a little uneasy. Sango was sitting right next to the door, smiling as Kagome sat down next to her.
Sango cracked a small grin, which seemed to say, "well aren't you going to sit down?"
Inuyasha smiled back at the invitation, and sat down at Kagome's side, looking like a bedraggled mess.
Shippo held his nose, and questioned, "Does anyone smell the familiar odor of wet DOG?" Then a look of sudden fear shook the young kit, then jumping into his "mother's" arms, cried "Okaa-san! Save me!"
Kagome just stared, then growled like an annoyed dog, "Wet dogs, are we Shippo?" Her eyebrow was twitching in irritation. She thought angrily, "no one, not even my own pup, calls me a dog!" Her soft amber eyes turned to slits of annoyance as she bared her fangs at him, which got the appropriate whimper of submission Kagome was looking for from the little whippersnapper. Then she just patted his head and let him snuggle into her chest for protection and warmth.
Inuyasha stared at the kit, his expression at first blank, then his face contorted into a snarl as he bore down on the kit in his mother's lap. "Thank Kami that your mother is here, Shippo!" A look of sudden confusion crossed his face, as though you could actually read the words, "did I just say mother?" written across his face in huge letters.
Yuki, Eri, and Ayumi just watched this little family interaction unfold with a look of bemusement that one would wear if they were watching a fully dressed dog passing by across the street from them. Shippo was right, there was that distinct musky odor of wet dog quietly permeating the air in the hut, but how did Shippo detect it so quickly?
Eri looked thoughtful for a second, then giggled softly, and said in an honest, sincere tone, "well, you three make quite the family! When's the next kid expected?"
Inuyasha and Kagome both looked up at Eri, blushing like mad. "Umm... I don't really know yet, Eri, Inuyasha and I have yet to discuss that facet of our lives." Kagome said casually, though a little higher pitch than usual.
In all honesty, it seemed to be almost too much for Yuka and Ayumi when they saw Inuyasha's face at the words "next kid" was just too priceless. They couldn't stop giggling like morons for about two minutes before they got their heads back on and simmered down.
Kagome heard a small rustle inside the hut, and looked up to see Miroku scooting ever so slowly to the back wall of the hut. Kagome sighed, and said a little too obviously and loudly "Miroku, don't even think about it."
Miroku hung his head and sweatdropped. "She is so not fun!" he thought a little too high spiritedly. He scooted back to his original position, looking up to see Inuyasha making a very bold move. He saw him wrap his arms around Kagome's waist and pull her to him, slipping her up into his lap and letting her snuggle with him, in plain view of everyone present.
Kagome was shocked at first when she felt arms wrap around her, but immediately relaxed, and shivered in a bit of pleasure when she felt the familiar claws of her mate grazing against her now bare tummy.
Shippo ran off like a shot out the door, trying to get a good distance away from the hut. "I guess its mommy-daddy time now." he thought, "I'll just give them a little privacy."
Inuyasha just watched him run off, keeping his ears tuned in to his movements in the nearby woods. He took a sniff and realized exactly what had happened, and blushed furiously. "Kagome's aroused!" he thought suddenly. He sniffed again, "Nope, senses aren't lying! She definitely wants to jump my bones! That's what most likely triggered Shippo's instinct to run off like that!" He surmised mentally. He reached up to pet her ear, just to make sure he wasn't smelling things. The spike in her scent when he touched her ear with his claws and raked them gently down the back of her ear nearly sent him swooning. "It's so strong!" he thought, completely thrown off by the incredible potency of her arousal. He had a sudden thought that sent him almost into a panic, "maybe she is nearing her heat!" this thought both filled him with joy and fear. It would be his and Kagome's first chance to try at having pups, yet having pups would open the door to new responsibilities and liabilities... he looked up at Sango, who was staring at a place on the wall above Miroku's head with a far off look in her eyes. He then turned his gaze on the relaxing monk, a contemplative look on his face and mischief in his eyes, as he slipped Kagome off his lap, to Kagome's glares and growls, and got up, he thought, "If I'm going to have to be shut in for the next 15 years, I'm not going to do that alone! Besides, I feel like being a matchmaker today anyway..." He smiled as he motioned for Miroku to follow him.
Miroku simply nodded and got up to follow the hanyou out the door into the now heavy atmosphere of the forest. "I wonder what he's got on his mind..." he thought, curiosity brewing in the back of his mind. They walked into the darkening woods, owls giving regular hoots into the night, for what seemed hours, until Miroku finally spoke up. "Inuyasha, what's going on?"
Inuyasha looked back at the monk, that mischievous look still in his eyes as he said slyly, "so, how are things between you and the exterminator?" he gave him a small smile, "it seems like you two haven't.... progressed as quickly as I'd have expected."
The monk was confused, "Me? ...And.... and SANGO! It's preposterous! It's crazy! It's... it's... it's.... so... so right..." he thought, his facial expressions going from shocked, to even more shocked, to a little upset, to pensive, to a huge perverted grin. He thought for a second, "Maybe, since Naraku is gone now, just maybe I could ask her..."
Inuyasha was finally getting impatient, "okay monk, you don't need to answer..." he said calmly, walking towards him and clapping a hand to his shoulder. "Miroku," he said calmly, "from what I've seen of you two together, either you guys would love each other to death, or kill each other. I'm just not sure which it is yet!" He chuckled softly as he started off, "who knows, you two could actually have pups of your own! Wouldn't that be wonderful, Miroku? Living with Sango for the rest of your life?"
"Wonderful doesn't even begin to describe it! Oh, how much I would love to see her every morning in my arms... and other times of the day, and night, too..." The young monk thought with a small grin crossing his lips.
Inuyasha chuckled again, "Miroku, I can see where your mind is taking you, I don't even have to hear it!" he gave a small laugh as he shook his head, "Miroku, what the hell are we going to do with you? You know what we need for you? A cage! That's what we need!" He laughed harder, "No offense Miroku, but it is so true!"
Miroku laughed with Inuyasha, their laughs chiming thought the dense forest around them like church bells, ringing in a gentle chorus of bells in some European city somewhere.
I thought this was enough for a chapter. I hope everybody had an excellent 4th of July and yes, I did play with bottle rockets like a lot of other guys out there, and yes, I did get several second and third degree burns, plus a bald spot on my arm do to a loose bottle rocket! Looks at the burn yeah, that's pretty nasty! Oh yeah! Almost forgot! BUY ROMAN CANDLES! THEY ROCK! See you soon!
