Miroku prepared to climb up the plateau in order to find this 'kangaroo' beast, when steady thumps could be heard approaching them.
He stepped in front of the girls and a quaking Shippo and said "I'll protect you! Don't worry!"
He held his staff in front of himself threateningly…he soon dropped his staff however, as the source of the thumping halted in front of him.
"Kagome? That wouldn't happen to be a Kangaroo would it?"
"Yes it is…why?"
"No reason…I've just never seen a Kangaroo, that's all." He stuttered out, while thinking how much it resembled a very large squirrel.
Noticing that his companions were staring at him strangely he said, somewhat,
confidently holding the machete in front of him.
"As long as you support me, I'm sure I'll do fine…" and advanced.
Shippo sweat dropped, looking between a very nervous Miroku, and Kagome and Sango…who were doing Miroku's funeral plans.
"Hm…what wood should his coffin be made of?" asked Sango
"How about pine?"
"Ok. Er…where are we going to bury him?"
"We'll shove him down the well, and bury him in Feudal Japan"
"…" Shippo shook his head, and wandered off stumbling around a little bit before coming across…
Well, more like falling across actually.
…Falling, tripping, rolling, cartwheeling,…er….whatever you want to call it, across a rock…
A little tiny rock the size of a toenail…
Shippo blinked and picked it up. Sniffing at it cautiously he grinned and ran back.
In the meantime Miroku was bravely trying to face down his worst fears…
The squirrel like kangaroo…
Or maybe more like a Kangaroo like squirrel…
Whichever one it was Miroku was facing it down.
"Er…Miroku…perhaps you should come out from behind the tree?" Sango asked
Or maybe not.

A/N 12 should be posted shortly. I'm very sorry for the delay but RL's been busy and my interest in IY has been waning. I'll poke at this here and there, but for now, consider PP on hiatus.
