Authoress: O.O...sorry, it's been some time since I've updated...writing new stories, getting in a

little trouble in school...and my parents hounding at me 24/7...haven't had time to write a little

Yaoi...and (if anyone was wondering, for the strangest of reasons) I have a name on

fictionpress.com...and I've got a Yaoi story startin' there...name's Kanemoshi...just so I don't

confuse myself...I think...^________^

Sesshomaru: *glares*

Authoress: he's obviously pissed about the way our last chapter ended...lil' bit of a cliffhanger, I

agree...but I didn't have enough frozen coffee pops (*drools* they're so good!!) to go on...I need

to get more...now I have only a *thinks, searching through fridge and freezer*...frozen, stale

peeps...^_^, so good! *begins to munch on rock hard marshmellows (which are yellow)*

Miroku: *steals some of Authoress's peeps and chews on them* mmm

Sesshomaru: *pokes frozen chick-shaped sugary treats, wondering if he could kill the Authoress

with one of the yellow blobs*

Disclaimer: I don't own Peeps...I would be truly fat if I did...mmm...and I don't own

Inuyasha...poor Sesshy...I WANNA HAVE HIM!!! *sobs, continuing to eat peeps*

Chapter Six

"Master Inuyasha, have you noticed Miroku's odd behavior lately?" Myoga asked the

hanyou, contently sitting on the young man's shoulder. 'That houshi has been moping around for

days...he hardly talks, but, thankfully, Kagome's forcing him to not go even deeper into his

depression...' Myoga thought.

"Yeah, so what? He was dumped by my brother," Inuyasha replied, glancing down at the

demonic flea. 'Myoga sounds really worried...I wonder why...Miroku finally figured out he's gay,

he should have some time to think about that...not have a little bloodsucker doing everything in

his power to get him to talk about his problems...' Inuyasha said inwardly.

"Actually...I don't believe so..." Myoga stated quietly, grabbing Inuyasha's attention

immediately.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Master Inuyasha, why would Sesshomaru-sama have done such...acts with Miroku,

then leave him the next morning?" Myoga wondered, glancing up at the hanyou. "I have a

theory...but I can't be sure it is correct..."

"What is it?" Inuyasha asked, intriqued with the new twist on Miroku's and Sesshomaru's

relationship.

"Master Inuyasha...how is it a demon mates?" Myoga questioned, staring down at the half

demon's shoulder.

"Um...they have sex..."

"Anything else?"

"And...they...um..." Inuyasha frowned, trying to think of what else mating demons did.

"Nothing...mating to youkai isn't that important...but for a demon lord like

Sesshomaru-sama...his mate would be in extreme danger, assassins coming after her...or

him...every day, demon armies searching for his mate. Sesshomaru isn't exactly a well liked

demon lord...but no other youkai has the strength to defeat him and take his place...so what better

way to harm Sesshomaru than though his mate?" Myoga asked, seeing the hanyou's face light up

in understanding. "I...I think that Sesshomaru has been protecting Miroku all this time...but

Miroku doesn't know...and I think it is best not to say anything to him...in case this isn't what

Sesshomaru is doing..."

"Yeah, yeah..." Inuyasha replied. "So, why do you think Sesshomaru would care if

Miroku lives or dies...I mean, like you said, mating isn't important to demons..."

"...it isn't..." 'Unless children are involved...' Myoga added to himself, his mouth dropping

open as soon as he finished his thought. He covered his mouth, his eyes widening.

"What is it?"

"...Kami-sama..."

"Nani?"

"...it isn't possible...it can't be..."

"WHAT IS IT!?!"

"...could it be?"

"MYOGA!!! TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW!!!"

"S...Sesshomaru...and Miroku...Kami...that has to be the reason...but it defies all laws of

nature...it can't be...but it makes so much sense..." Myoga continued to ramble until Inuyasha hit

him in the head, making the flea fall to the ground.

"Myoga, what's up with you?!"

"...where's Miroku?" Myoga asked, jumping back up, then racing towards the camp faster

than Inuyasha had ever seen him move. 'what's up with him?' Inuyasha asked himself, following

the flea.





"Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin said quietly as she entered the dark room, immediately seeing

Sesshomaru sitting on his bed, his knees pulled up to his chest. He looked as if he was sleeping,

but Rin could see, even in the dim light, that his golden eyes were open.

"What is it, Rin?" he asked, his eyes fixated on one spot of his bed.

"What's the matter, Sesshomaru-sama...Rin's been good...but Sesshomaru-sama doesn't

play with Rin anymore..."

"I've been busy," Sesshomaru replied, smelling Rin's salty tears, which were running down

her face.

"Jaken is even beginning to worry..." Rin stated, climbing up onto Sessomaru's bed, sitting

down next to him.

"..."

"Sesshomaru-sama is thinking about Miroku..." Rin said quietly, getting the youkai's

attention instantly. He turned his head slightly to look at her, then he returned to his other

position, but watched Rin out of the corner of his eye. "Why doesn't Sesshomaru-sama go talk to

Miroku? Miroku likes Sesshomaru-sama...but Sesshomaru-sama won't admit he likes Miroku..."

'I do not hide things from myself...' Sesshomaru thought to himself, tightening his arm

around his knees. 'Why is it he plagues my thoughts...I can't sleep any longer without visioning

him...even in my waking hours...he is on my mind...all we had was a night of sex...it means

nothing to me. But, then why is it, constantly, him I think of...' Sesshomaru glared at Rin out of

the corner of his golden eye, knowing the child knew more than she had told him. 'She hardly

ever talked to me before...compared to now...why is it, all of a sudden, she can tell? She knows

that houshi is what I think about...and she probably knows, unlike myself, why...why this is

happening to me...and what that monk has to do with it...'

"Why can't Sesshomaru-sama just say he likes Miroku to Miroku's face...he would feel

much better if he did..." Rin stated simply, glancing up at Sesshomaru. "Rin can see how much

Sesshomaru-sama likes Miroku...but Rin thinks Sesshomaru-sama is too afraid to show his

feelings..."

"I fear nothing..."

"Then why does Sesshomaru-sama not talk to Miroku?" Rin asked, looking back down at

the bed. "If Sesshomaru-sama and Miroku talked, both would be happier..." Sesshomaru stood

up, much to Rin's enjoyment. 'Nigens...I hate them all...' Sesshomaru thought to himself as he left

the room, on the way, telling Jaken to look after Rin better than he did last time.





"That's not possible, Myoga," Kagome stated as she shook her head, looking down at the

flea on her shoulder. "Yeah youkai are different than nigens...but Miroku's a human!"

"I know that, Kagome...but can you think of a better reason...I think it makes perfect

sense...except for that one, small, detail..." Myoga replied, watching the houshi sleep soundlessly.

'I...I can be wrong...but what other reason is there?'

"Wouldn't you think Miroku would know?" Kagome asked, shaking her head in disbelief.

"Not necessarily...why would he suspect something like this?"

"Is...is there any way to know for sure...without talking to Miroku...I mean, I don't want

to get his hopes up just to be thrown down again..." Kagome questioned, glancing over at the flea

momentarily.

"Hai..one way...at least, one I know of...youkai who mate, they usually leave a mark of

some kind, a bite, a scar, something they can recognize the other by..." Myoga stated. "But, if

Miroku has a mark, that only means they're mated..."

"True...any other way?"

"...I don't know...waiting may work...or until Miroku notices anything..." Myoga replied,

getting a smack from Kagome. "Nani?"

"We can't wait! And Miroku's had enough problems already, no need dumping this

surprise on him as well!" Kagome retorted, glaring at the flea. "Is there any way...maybe we

could find out while he's sleeping, or drug him or something?"

"...drugging...but, drugs could be harmful..." Myoga pointed out. "I don't want to be

killed by Sesshomaru for my curiosity..."

"And worrying over our friend...that bastard did this to him in the first place!" Kagome

snorted, glancing over at Miroku. "I'll get something to drug him with tomorrow...when is the

earliest we could find out?"

"...Six months...so we have a while to wait..." Myoga replied, looking up at Kagome.

"...it's been almost two, but taking into account he's human...it may be sooner..."

"We'll try in a month..." Kagome stated, glancing up into the tree at Inuyasha, who was

remaining silent throughout the conversation, then to Sango, who hadn't said anything either.

"Are you two going to help us?"

"Of course!" Sango answered, smiling slightly. 'Good thing I didn't fall in love with

Miroku...I'd have Sesshomaru competing against me for him...' Sango thought to herself, a

small smile on her face.

school thing, 'n' the parents, and of course, I've been writing like five or six stories at once, so I

have to reread quite a bit to find out where I left off...then having my parents searching through

my folders for somethin' to get me kicked off the computer (I think this stuff would qualify), so I

have to save everything to floppies, with passwords, then I lose the floppies...and go on a hunt for

them for almost a week, then become frantic and find them in a large box labeled FLOPPIES

AND FANFICS...well...that is why...and added to the fact, I'm lazy, it's 10:19 right now...and I

have become immune to caffeine's effects...

Koga: it's true...she made me and Inutrasha sniff out the floppies...

Sesshomaru: *grabs floppy and begins to burn it with his evil glare*

Authoress: NOOOOOOOO *frantically gropes for the floppy, finally retrieving it, then whacking

Fluffy over the head with the keyboard* BAD DOG, BAD FLUFFY

deodorant is beginning to wear off...

Koga, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha: X.X

Miroku: *wakes up and glances around* *stares at Authoress* what happened?

Authoress: they died from massive pit stench...poor guys, we'll have to revive them...*begins

CPR* LIVE, FLUFFY, LIVE!!!!!!! *bolts of lightening (actually pieces of paper) come out of

nowhere*

Sesshomaru: *wakes up and flies out of room very quickly*
