A/N: hey people first off let me say that this is my first fic that I've had the nerve to place online, and I am actually quite proud of it. I hope you will all like it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. If I did he would be my slave and do everything I wanted him to do. (thinks about that for a while. Throws in both Kouga and Miroku. DROOL) sorry about that I let my mind wander a bit too much. Anyway only the story is my idea.

On with the fic...

Chapter 1. Firewood

'Oh shit.' thought Inuyasha as he looked toward the evening sky. 'The crescent moon will be tomorrow night. And not only that, but that time of year that I hate is also going to happen at the same time. This just sucks.'

Inuyasha looked around and cursed his luck. The first of the two secrets mentioned above was not the real problem, he dealt with this monthly and it was very easy to cover up thanks to his rat skin kimono. It was getting a little harder lately though because Shippo was become less of a child and was starting to notice a change in his smell. Inuyasha kept on coming up with lies to keep the little kitsune of his track, but that wouldn't last forever.

The second secret was the real problem. This secret only happened only once a year. During this time he usually convinced Kagome to head home for some reason or another, but this year she had proudly announced that she had finally finished highschool and that she could spend as much time as she wanted in the feudal era. With Kagome gone he usually told the monk and youkai slayer that this was the time that his fathers death and that he wanted to go visit his grave and pay his respects. Inuyasha didn't usually do this but sometimes guilt got the better of him and he did. This excuse wouldn't work this year either, just yesterday they had passed the grave and Sango had remembered that it was around this time that the hanyou went to visit the grave. The ningen had let him spend a couple of hours at the grave all alone. Inuyasha was so surprised at this that he had spend the couple of hours just sitting on the ground staring at nothing.

As Inuyasha followed his fellow jewel hunters he was unusually quiet (do to the thoughts printed above), Kagome took notice of this and slowed her bike down. Inuyasha didn't even notice what was happening until the young miko reincarnate opened her mouth to speak.

"Inuyasha," she questioned quietly, "Inuyasha are you okay?"

The hanyou looked over at the dark haired girl and saw real concern covering her face. "Kagome," he responded in a very docile tone, "I've just been thinking a lot that's all. Nothing to worry about okay."

Kagome smiled up at his at started to petal faster to catch up with her best friend Sango. When she reached Sango she whispered to her, "I think stopping at Inuyasha's fathers grave was a great move, but now he seems to be thinking about it an awful lot."

The hanyou in question was not suppose to hear this comment but his sensitive inu ears picked it up. He chuckled to himself and wished that was all her was thinking about.

He sighed to himself and tried to push his thoughts away, but it would be easier to kill Naraku then to douse his thoughts.

Inuyasha then smelled a demon approaching. "Guys," he yelled, "lets go have some fun." He ran ahead of the ningen and started to run towards the demonic smell.

As he rushed forward Inuyasha's sensitive nose picked up another scent. It was fresh blood. He recognized the smell and that made Inuyasha run a bit faster. He wanted to arrive there so he could make fun of the ookami and that he had been beaten. When Inuyasha arrived in the valley where the demon and Kouga were he was not prepared for what he saw.

The wolf prince was knocked unconscious and had many cuts and a major head wound. Inuyasha started to attack the demons and when he was battling them he could tell that these demons were not the reason Kouga was in such a state. The demons were salamander demons and very easy to defeat. The ningen arrived right after Inuyasha had finished off the demons. Kagome seeing Kouga's state ran to him and started to yell at the hanyou about what happened to him.

"From what I can see, and smell, Kouga was standing on the cliff over there and he somehow fell. It was unexpected and he banged his head and received all the cuts. The blood he spilt was what was attracted the salamander demons. They were so weak that even that scrawny wolf could have handled them."

"Well help me pick him up," Kagome commanded, "we have to take him away from here and bandage his wounds."

"What we're taking him with us?" Inuyasha was amazed. If Kouga woke up and smelt the difference in him, his secret would out to one of his enemies. He couldn't allow that.

"Sit boy!" Inuyasha was pulled to the ground by the enchanted beads as Kagome

continued, "Yes we are taking him. Do you expect me to just let him die here?"

"Well no, but why do we have to take him." Inuyasha groaned.

"We are going to take care of him because we are the only friends he has at the moment. and without us Kouga is going to die." Kagome stated matter of factly.

'This is going to be so great,' thought Inuyasha, 'I just hope that he stays unconscious until the thing is over.'

He picked up Kouga and started to follow the ningen and kitsune to where they would make camp. He put the ookami on the ground and went out with Miroku to find fire wood as the girls went to work on bandaging the wolf prince.

Just as Inuyasha bent to pick up a large log, he felt as if he was being watched. He spun around quickly but the only one around was Miroku, and he was bent the other way picking up his own sticks. Inuyasha looked at the monk and couldn't help but wonder what type of body was hidden underneath those bulky robes.

'What the hell did I just think,' Inuyasha screamed at himself as he bent down to resume picking up the logs and sticks for the fire, 'why was it that I wanted to know about Miroku's body. I know that he must be quite muscular and healthy because of all the physical activity that he receives from hunting demons, but why does he have to keep himself so covered up. I wish that he would wear clothes more like Kouga...' Inuyasha shook his head to clear his thoughts. 'Great my two secrets are starting to work together to confuse me. This is going to be hell.'

He gathered up a few more sticks before yelling to Miroku that he was heading back to camp.

"Wait a moment will you Inuyasha," Miroku called back, "I am almost done and I want to talk to you on our way back to camp."

"Kay whatever." the hanyou called sitting down on the forest floor waiting for the monk to catch up. Inuyasha closed his eyes and went into a mental battle with his thoughts.

The monk came a few minutes later and was greeted by what he thought was sleeping hanyou. Miroku bent down and pushed a strand of hair from out of Inuyasha's face. At the light tug Inuyasha opened his eyes.

Miroku was shocked to see Inuyasha awake and was frozen in his act. His hand was still to the side of Inuyasha's face but he couldn't seem to move it at all.

Inuyasha was also equally shocked to see the young monk pushing his hair out of his face. Inuyasha could hardly believe it and raised his hand to lay on the monks to prove that it was true. His clawed hand fit perfectly over the monks wrapped and beaded hand.

Miroku gasped at the intimate gesture and turned his eyes towards Inuyasha, and looked deep into his eyes. They both just stared at each other for few seconds before Inuyasha leaned in towards Miroku and gently placed his lips against the monks. He was shocked by the genteelness of them and was even more surprised when Miroku started to kiss back.

Miroku moaned and opened his lips just a little. Inuyasha took this opportunity to gently slide his tongue into the wise mouth of Miroku. He started to explore the mouth and was amazed by the taste of the monk. Inuyasha was startled by the fact that Miroku now laced his tongue into Inuyasha's mouth. It was now the hanyou's turn to moan in pleasure. He then realized what he was doing and pulled back.

Both the hanyou and monk panted until they were able to speak. "Ummm... Well..." started Inuyasha at the same time that Miroku said, "My Kami... What... I'm so sorry."

"What are you apologizing for. This is all my fault anyway." stated Inuyasha matter of factly.

"It's my fault and it is I who should be apologizing. I'm the one who caressing your face. My how is this going to be explained to the girls back at camp."

"I think this is a bit of both our faults. We both did what we did and I don't think that we should mention this to anyone. Lets just get back to camp and pretend that this never happened."

"Okay that's a good idea." Miroku stood up brushed off his robes and held out a hand to help Inuyasha up. To his surprise the hanyou took his hand and was helped up. Afterwards he drew his hand back as if he had been biting by a snake. Inuyasha leaned down and picked up the wood that had fallen during his and Miroku's episode.

They both filled their arms with the fire wood and walked back to camp in total silence.

A/N: So what did you think. Was it any good? Was it horrible? Let me know. (that's my subtle way of asking for reviews). Oh and I must tell you. Please don't get mad if I don't put up a new chapter that often. I have good reasons so please don't hate me forever.

Fisrt off, I am finishing my last year in high school and am totally swamped with work. This is a way for me to relieve my stress.

Secondly, my internet at home is a hunk of shit so the only time I get to post this is when I am at work. And my schedual is so random it's not funny.

Anyway Love you all.
