Chapter Four

Miroku woke up and almost jumped when he felt an arm wrapped around him and noticed that his head was resting on a chest. He saw the beautiful, sleeping, face of the youkai lord and he inwardly smirked, and cuddled a little closer to him. Miroku listened to his breathing and his heartbeat as he began to fall back to sleep. His eyes opened again when he heard footsteps.

"Miroku?! Are you around here?" Shippou's voice echoed through the deathly silent forest, making both Sesshomaru and Miroku jump.

'Damn...now how am I going to explain me and Sesshomaru to Shippou?' Miroku asked himself as he felt the demon lord tense as the kitsune called out again. Sesshomaru sat up and looked around, searching for his clothes. Miroku chuckled as the youkai finally found his clothes, which were only a few feet away, and began to put his pants on.

Miroku snuck up behind Sesshomaru and licked the youkai's neck, noticing that Sesshomaru shivered as he began to move his tongue down Sesshomaru's unclothed back as he ran his fingers through the white hair. Sesshomaru turned around and cupped Miroku's face, bringing it up to his. Miroku opened his mouth immediately when Sesshomaru brushed his lips gently against Miroku's. The youkai explored Miroku's mouth, making the houshi begin to breathe heavily. Sesshomaru's tongue left the monk's mouth, but he began to leave kisses down Miroku's neck and collar bone. Sesshomaru pushed Miroku down onto his back and continued his gentle assault on the houshi.

"MIROKU!!!" Kagome's voice called, full of worry. Miroku tried to ignore the voices calling him, but then he heard Sango's voice join in. He sat up, sighing, as Sesshomaru looked at him with his golden eyes.

"I..." Miroku said as he watched Sesshomaru put the rest of his clothes on, then throw Miroku's at him. Sesshomaru began to disappear into the forest when Miroku finished his statement. "I love you, Sesshomaru."

The youkai stopped and said quietly, just loud enough for Miroku to hear, "I cannot say the same," then he was gone.

(Authoress: *sniffle* DAMN YOU SESSHY!!! THAT WAS MEAN!!! WAY TO HARSH THE GUY'S BONER!!!!...sorry...continuing...^___^;;;;;;)

"Miroku, there you-" Kagome said, seeing the houshi. She noticed he was sitting on the ground, naked, so she averted her eyes until she was sure the monk was dressed.

"Good morning, Kagome," Miroku stated quietly as he glanced over at the miko, dressed. She looked over at him, and could see the tears running down his cheeks.

'What happened to him?' Kagome asked herself as she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him. Miroku sobbed quietly into her shoulder. "What's wrong, Miroku?"

"Nothing," he replied, lifting his head, then wiping his eyes. 'I guess it's what I deserve after chasing so many women...the one person I fall in love with hates me...' Miroku thought to himself.

"Then why are you crying?" Kagome asked, looking up at Miroku. The houshi shook his head, then walked over to the hot spring and washed his face. "Miroku, tell me what happened. I want to help, but how can I if I don't know what happened?"

"Someone broke my heart," Miroku answered, glancing over at Kagome. Her eyes widened when she heard his answer.

'Broke...his...heart?! Who...who did Miroku fall in love with? It couldn't have been Sango...not me...Inuyasha?...no...who could it be?' Kagome asked herself. "Who?"

"No one..."

"Miroku..." Kagome said, walking over to the houshi and kneeling down next to him. "Maybe you just misunderstood her..."

Miroku chuckled quietly. "No...I didn't misunderstand him..."

'HIM!?...who could it be?! I always though Miroku liked women...' Kagome commented inwardly. 'Inuyasha, Koga...what other men could Miroku know? Naraku, never...um...' Kagome's eyes widened when she thought of another man, one who she thought would never be able to fall in love. "Sesshomaru?"

"H...hai..."

"What did he say?" Kagome asked, glancing down at the water. 'Sesshomaru...no wonder he broke Miroku's heart...' Kagome thought to herself, staring at Miroku's reflection.

"That he couldn't love me..." Miroku whispered, new tears forming in his eyes. 'I guess I was stupid to think that Sesshomaru could ever love someone...especially someone like me...' he said to himself.

"Well, I don't think he deserved you," Kagome stated, glancing over at the houshi. "Why don't you come back to the camp...I already made breakfast...and I'm sure everyone will want to see that you're okay...we were really worried when you were missing this morning and never answered..."

Miroku nodded his head slowly, brushing away the tears in his eyes. 'Kagome's probably right...why should I love Sesshomaru? He hasn't ever been kind to me, I hardly know anything about him...' Miroku thought to himself, but couldn't stop thinking about the night before.

* * * * * * * * * *

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken cried as the toad raced up to Sesshomaru. "Why did you leave without me, Lord Sesshomaru?!" He got an angered glare from Sesshomaru, so he shut up, bowed, and left, hoping his lord was going to be in a better mood later.

"Where is Rin?" Sesshomaru asked, looking at the toad who was trying to run away. Jaken's eyes filled with fear as he gulped.

"R...Rin, my lord?" Jaken stuttered, beginning to see his life flash before his eyes. "S...she was...with you...wasn't she, my lord?" Jaken winced, sensing Sesshomaru's eyes on him...and instead of being filled with anger, they were calm, which scared him even more. "She...she was...kidnaped, m...my lord..."

"Kidnaped?"

"H...h...hai..." Jaken gulped again, knowing his time was near. "It wasn't my fault...she went of in search of you...th..then a group of demons took her...before this lowly Jaken could make her come back..."

"Where is she now?"

"She could be anywhere...this unworthy Jaken sent out guards to search for her...but only their...bones...have returned..." Jaken replied, glancing over at a pile of bones in a corner of the room. 'Where could Lord Sesshomaru have gone? And why does he smell different?' Jaken asked himself. 'He smells of humans...'

"Jaken, if she isn't back by tonight, you will be the first to die." Sesshomaru continued to walk to his room slowly, making the toad quiver in fear. 'How could that idiot lose Rin in the day I've been gone...' Sesshomaru asked himself as he closed his bedroom door behind himself and locked it. He walked out onto the balcony and leaned against the railing. 'K'so...who could have kidnaped her?' Sesshomaru looked out over his lands and took a deep breath. He tried to clear his mind, but his thoughts kept traveling back to the black haired houshi.

Authoress: O.O;;...oooooo...that's good...

Miroku: WAHHHHH!!!! *sniffle, sob*

Sesshomaru: (not here)

Inuyasha: Don't cry, Miroku...it's really depressing...
