Drink Qoo has returned!! So sorry about the late update, but the stupid Internet died on me. Grrrr! As I always say "Blame Bill Gates!" Don't ask me why, just do it! : p Oh yes and thank you all who had reviewed my story!
Also, I'm thinking of another story. Another of those "Inuyasha-in-school- whoop-dee-doo" things. But everyone has a different idea of these kinds of stories. So if I do decide to post that I hope you decide to read that too! : )

Chapter 4: Another Day, Another Shard
Miroku held the staff close to his body as Mushin walked around the house of a wealthy merchant. He was placing exorcism talismans all over the walls. Miroku was a bit reluctant to come with Mushin on a job; after all he might get in the way. The master of the home was reluctant as well, but he was desperate. An evil spirit had possessed his beautiful young daughter at thirteen years of age. She had flowing black hair and large brown eyes. If Miroku were a few years older he'd have found her perfect to bear his child, but now he was a bit worried about what he was doing.
"Miroku, hand me my staff." Mushin ordered and Miroku complied. "Sir, leave us with your daughter and do not look in no matter what you hear, understand? Take everyone else within the grounds away as well." The man nodded and exited. Once Mushin was sure everyone was gone he looked over at the young woman. "Miroku, be wary. Spirit, I know you can hear me." He spoke to it as though it was in front of him, and it was. The woman rose from her bed like a rag doll, her limp head rolled around on her neck until it finally looked at Mushin with fierce red eyes. She shot at him, but he merely rose his staff to push her back. "Miroku, the talismans." He nodded and shuffled through his bag,
'Where are they?' he thought. "Miroku!" he heard Mushin yell and looked up to see the woman's face in front of his.
Miroku was the third one to awake of his party. Kaede was already cooking breakfast, and Inuyasha was outside seeing if he could find out anything about Naraku or any jewel shards. Nearby Kagome stirred in her sleep, her arm draped over Shippo as though he was some sort of stuffed animal. Miroku turned towards Sango to see her hair covering her sleeping face. The monk took notice that she was very beautiful (although she was always beautiful in his mind) when her face was calm, and free of the expression of hate, which Miroku had seen many times. He gently placed her hair behind her ear, hoping she wouldn't awake as he did so.
"Good morning, Lord Monk." Said the old voice of Kaede. She handed him a bowl of soup. When he touched the ceramic bowl it warmed his fingers. The soup was obviously hot as the steam rose from it. He blew on it to cool it off, and took a small sip. Miroku smiled and placed the cup of soup on the floor, and excused himself.
Outside Inuyasha was just returning from what appeared to be a pointless adventure. "Not a single villager knows anything about the shards or of Naraku!" Inuyasha complained.
"I suggest you lower your voice, Inuyasha, the girls are still asleep." Miroku said.
"Feh, still asleep?" Inuyasha stomped into the house. Miroku could hear from outside that Inuyasha was yelling for Kagome and Sango to wake up. Then, of course, came Kagome's "sit" command causing Inuyasha to crash to the floor. Miroku laughed, "They never change." He walked back into the house to finish his breakfast.
About midday everyone was wide-awake and ready to set off for a long voyage. While everyone else was eating or off doing something, Kagome had returned to her time to tell her mother about the unfortunate accident that had broken her brand new cellular phone. Her mother promised to buy her another one as long as Kagome didn't take it to the past again. Of course, she agreed and returned to the past with a smile on her face.
They headed west towards smaller villages, hoping someone would know something of the Shikon shards. Inuyasha had taken the lead with Sango a few paces ahead of Kagome, on her bicycle, and Miroku walking beside her. "You seem quite happier than you were yesterday, Lady Kagome." Miroku mentioned.
"Miroku, if you're planning on touching me I'm going to run you over with my bike, because if you ruin my happy mood no one will be happy." Kagome said with a smile. Miroku flinched a bit and laughed. He placed his hands onto his staff hoping they wouldn't take a mind of their own and do something he'd regret. The monk looked up to see Sango in her casual clothing, the large bone boomerang on her back, and Kirara sleeping in her arms. 'How I envy that cat.' Miroku thought with a sigh.
Sango turned to see Miroku staring at her. "Monk, stop staring at me! I know what you're planning." Sango glared at him then turned back towards Inuyasha and the road ahead. 'Is that all she thinks of me? A lecherous monk that cares nothing of a real relationship, or even true love?' Miroku thought silently walking besides a happy Kagome, who was now humming some sort of song unknown to him, or rather everyone in this era (It's Sekai ni hitosu dake no hana by SMAP if you must know). 'Lechery is what brought this curse upon my family in the first place.' That was when his dream returned to his thoughts. Watching as his friends fought Naraku as he was being sucked into the void. A chill ran down his spine as he thought about it.
"Hey, guys." Kagome stopped cycling and placed her hand over her heart. "I sense a shard nearby. It's pretty faint, and it's moving away, but I can sense it." Kagome pointed towards the north. "Over there!" Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and placed her on his back, while also grabbing the bicycle. He ran towards the area Kagome had pointed. Miroku and Sango jumped onto Kirara's back, and flew off into the sky.
With every leap they were closer to the shard. Soon in the clearing was a large demon, unlike the one they had faced last time. It was flailing its arms swatting at large bugs. "Those bugs! They're Naraku's wasps!" Kagome stated as Inuyasha let her down. He leaped into the air. "Iron Reaver!" and he tore through the wasps with ease. The bugs flew away at a safe distance as though waiting for Inuyasha to take down the beast.
"Inuyasha, watch out!" Kagome yelled from the side. Inuyasha looked up to see a large clawed hand crashing down to the ground, where Inuyasha stood.
Also, I'm thinking of another story. Another of those "Inuyasha-in-school- whoop-dee-doo" things. But everyone has a different idea of these kinds of stories. So if I do decide to post that I hope you decide to read that too! : )
