'thinking' "speaking"
Chapter Five
"A jewel shard?" Inuyasha asked, glancing over at Kagome as he sucked down his cup of ramen.
"Hai...there's one not too far away..." Kagome replied as she scratched Kirara's ear.
Inuyasha sniffed the air, smelling a strong scent of demon, but there was also something else. "Human blood..." Inuyasha thought outloud as he stood up and began racing towards the origin of the smell. He heard Miroku stand up and follow him, while Kagome, Sango, and Shippou took a while longer to follow.
* * * * * *
"So, what should we do with this one?" a gruff voice asked, making all of the others heads turn. The youkai, that resembled a pincushion, glanced down at the unconscious nigen at his feet. "Whoever wants it, can have it..."
"I'll have it, sir," a round, an uncommonly ugly, youkai replied, walking over to pick up the girl. His large body smelled of rotting flesh, which made all of the other, smaller, youkai move out of the way long before he got near them. "I haven't eaten nigen flesh in months...especially that of a child..."
"I DON'T THINK SO!!!" an unfamiliar voice stated as he stepped between the ugly youkai and the human girl. The small demon in a red kimono cracked his knuckles and attacked the unsuspecting youkai before he had a chance to block. The demon stumbled back, his body falling to pieces. The demon bent down and picked up a small, glimmering piece of purple as he smirked. "Anyone else wanna eat the kid?"
"Who are you, little demon?" the youkais' leader asked, glancing over at the inu-youkai. 'hm...at least that pile of stench is gone...' he thought to himself, smirking inwardly. "And why are you so concerned about a nigen?"
"Feh..." the demon replied, glaring at the leader.
The leader saw that another nigen, a houshi, had arrived and was checking the girl. 'A...hanyou...' the leader thought to himself, laughing. "So, you're a hanyou...how interesting..."
"Inuyasha..." the houshi said, glancing over at the hanyou.
"Get the kid outta here...I'll finish with these bakas," Inuyasha replied, glancing back at the houshi, which was his first mistake. The leader grinned sadistically as he sliced his claws along the hanyou's side, embedding his nails into the half demon's flesh, then throwing him into a nearby tree. He inwardly laughed when he saw the hanyou's body slam into the tree with a loud crack, then fall to the ground, unmoving.
"INUYASHA!!!!" a new voice cried as two black haired humans and a kitsune raced over to the still hanyou.
The leader recognized the one human woman as the demon exterminator that killed a great deal of his family and the other, he could see jewel shards hanging from her neck. He began to advance towards the humans when he felt something pull him back. "WIND TUNNEL!!!!" was the last thing he heard before he felt his body lift off the ground and fly towards the houshi and the last thing he saw was darkness.
* * * * * *
"Stupid," Kagome said to herself as she placed another cool compress on Miroku's head. 'He should have known sucking in that prickly youkai would cut his wind tunnel...' she thought, sitting back on her heels to watch the houshi sleep.
"Is he doing any better?" Sango asked as she and Kirara sat down next to Kagome. Her gaze traveled from Miroku to the small human they had rescued.
"K...Kagome?" Miroku whispered, opening his eyes slightly to look at Kagome. She smiled when she saw he was awake.
"You had all of us scared...you've never collapsed from getting your wind tunnel cut..." Kagome commented, looking down at Miroku.
"If it gets any bigger...I'll be sucked in..." Miroku said quietly, just loud enough for Kagome to hear him. 'I'll have the same fate as my father...but I won't have to pass this curse along to my children...' Miroku thought to himself.
"Wasn't the curse supposed to be lifted when Naraku was killed?" Sango asked, glancing down at the houshi. He nodded his head slightly, lifting his cursed hand to stare at it.
"Then that must mean Naraku's still alive..." Inuyasha stated from behind Kagome. 'But...we all watched him die...and it was the real Naraku...so why does Miroku still have the wind tunnel?'
Kagome heard a noise from the other side of the room and glanced over at the small girl, who was beginning to stir. She opened her eyes and glanced around the forest, her eyes finally landing on Miroku. "MIROKU!!!!" the girl cried as she raced over to him, wrapping her arms around the houshi and not letting go. "Rin was looking for Sesshomaru-sama...then bad demons take Rin..."
'Sesshomau? What is that bastard doing now? I hope he died...' Inuyasha thought to himself, looking down at the sobbing girl in Miroku's arms. 'For everything he's done...he sure as hell deserves it...' (Authoress: *glares at Inuyasha* Inuyasha: *gulps* O.O;)
"When did you last see Sesshomaru?" Miroku asked Rin, sitting up so that the girl wasn't sitting on his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
"*sniffle* Weeks after you left...Sesshomaru-sama left in the morning...but he didn't return that night...Rin was afraid..."
'After I left...she probably is talking about that day...' Miroku thought to himself, inwardly sighing. "Sesshomaru is fine...I was with him that entire day, Rin," Miroku said, knowing that Kagome and Inuyasha were the only two that knew, besides himself, what exactly had happened between Sesshomaru and him. Inuyasha had told Miroku a few days after that he had heard them, which made Miroku blush more than he had ever blushed in his life.
"Really?" Rin asked, a glimmer of understanding in her eyes.
"Hai..." Miroku replied, hoping the human child wouldn't say anything in front of Sango and Shippou, who were looking at Miroku with curious expressions. He wished that Sesshomaru wouldn't be the one to come and get Rin, but when he saw Rin's face light up when she saw something behind him, he cursed his luck.
"SESSHOMARU-SAMA!!!!" Rin jumped out of Miroku's arms and wrapped herself around Sesshomaru's leg as the inu-youkai walked towards the group. "Sesshomaru-sama left Rin with Jaken..."
"Come Rin, we're leaving," Sesshomaru said quietly, barely glancing over at Inuyasha and the others. Miroku noticed that the demon lord didn't look at him at all, making him feel even worse about what happened between them. The youkai began walking away, Rin behind him, and he didn't turn back or say anything.
'...he really does hate me...' Miroku thought to himself, finally sure that the night between him and Sesshomaru meant nothing. He forced himself to look away from Sesshomaru's figure, and began examining a fascinating blade of grass as he continued to think. 'I gave up my virginity...(Authoress: yes, his virginity...when have you even known Miroku to actually get the girl he's been after?! *grins*)...I gave my heart to him...but...it wasn't enough...for him to feel the same towards me...'
* * * * * *
'Damn him...' Sesshomaru thought to himself as he watched Rin frolic ahead of him. 'That damn human...how dare he...'
"Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin asked, bounding back towards her 'Sesshomaru-sama', and looking at him. "Do you like Miroku?"
Sesshomaru inwardly twitched at her question, but he stopped himself from showing any emotion, expecially his surprise at her question. "No."
"Why? Miroku likes you...and Rin would like him to be her other tosan..." Rin commented, smiling at Sesshomaru, which made him want to uncontrollably twitch even more. "And if you don't like Miroku, why did you spend a whole day and night with him?"
"..." 'She's much more intelligent than she looks...especially since she's a human...' Sesshomaru thought to himself, trying to think of an answer to Rin's question, since he knew she would keep asking until he answered. "I was speaking with him..."
"Nuh uh..." Rin retorted, shaking her head. "You and Miroku were doing adult things..."
'Kami...' Sesshomaru thought to himself, taking a deep breath. 'Why am I cursed...first with that hanyou brother...then her...and now, that houshi ...' Sesshomaru wondered momentarily how much Rin knew about his and Miroku's 'relationship,' but decided against asking, not wanting to know what went though the nigen girl's mind.
"If you don't like Miroku, why did you make him fall in love with you?" Rin asked curiously.
"I didn't..."
"Then why did you bring Miroku home and do adult things with him? I know you did..." Rin questioned, making Sesshomaru begin to feel uncomforable. "You shouldn't play with a human's emotions, Sesshomaru-sama."
'She's lecturing me?!' Sesshomaru thought, forcing himself not to growl at the human girl he had a weakness towards, wondering when she became so observant. 'I shouldn't play with a human's emotions...she should tell that bastard not to toy with mine...'
Authoress: well...that was short...but what exactly did Sesshomaru mean by 'she should tell that bastard not to toy with mine'????
Sesshomaru: O.O;;;;;;;;;;
