"What!" InuYasha yelled. Miroku shot him a mean look, but before he could say anything there was a knock on the door.
"We're fine Kagome," Miroku said, but it wasn't Kagome who walked in, it was Sango. Both InuYasha and Miroku put their right hand behind their back. Miroku thought better of it to stick his right hand in his mouth again.
"Miroku," Sango said not noticing that some one else was in the room, let alone not caring.
"Yes?" InuYasha said nervously.
"Do you remember that talk we had last night?" Sango asked. Behind Sango's back Miroku nodded furiously.
"Yes," InuYasha said seeing what Miroku was doing.
"Well, I'm sorry I ignored you, I was just really frustrated," said Sango, "anyway, so what do you say, will you at least give it a try?" Miroku was nodding even harder now; it looked more like head banging.
"Uh.sure," InuYasha said nervously.
"Really?" Sango said sounding delighted.
"Yea," InuYasha said trying to sound more confident.
"Thank you," Sango said. There was an odd moment of silence. Then Sango grabbed InuYasha's hand, shook it quickly and left the hut. InuYasha stared at Miroku with the most confused look he had ever seen. Miroku got the hint.
"I'm guessing you want to know what happened last night," Miroku said casually. InuYasha nodded. Miroku answered, "Well, it's kinda a secret and-"
"Just tell me what happened!" InuYasha said angrily.
"Okay, Okay," Miroku said, and he explained the whole conversation to InuYasha.
"So she wants you to stop being a pervert," InuYasha said when Miroku finished.
"Well, yea," said Miroku.
"You Idiot! She always wanted you to stop being a pervert!" said InuYasha.
"Well, she never said so," answered Miroku.
"She didn't think she had to," InuYasha said angrily.
"Well.she did okay," said Miroku, "I knew it bothered her but I didn't really.well I. I didn't think about it."
"Your pathetic," said InuYasha.
"Now, Now, InuYasha that's not very monk like," Miroku said calmly.
"I'm not a monk," yelled InuYasha.
"Well, your stuck in a monks body so you might as well start acting like one," Miroku said.
"Hey, I-" InuYasha began, but Miroku interrupted him.
"Do you smell that?" Miroku asked.
"No," said InuYasha.
"It smells like a woman, but its not Kagome or Sango, It. it must be the woman that lives here, I must go and meet her!" Miroku said in an excited voice as he ran toward the door.
"Not so fast!" InuYasha said grabbing Miroku's hair, and Miroku fell face first into the ground.
"Owe," Miroku said in a muffled voice. Finally, some one else knows what sit feels like
"I will go meet her," said InuYasha letting go of Miroku's hair.
"But then Kagome and Sango will think your going to be perverted if you go and meet her," Miroku said turning over.
"Why?" asked InuYasha.
"Because your in my body," Miroku said smiling.
"Fine," InuYasha said leaning closer to Miroku, "we'll both go meet her." Miroku got up and was about to walk out the door when a woman screamed. InuYasha and Miroku raced out the door and toward the forest. As they passed Kagome and Sango, Kagome asked, "What's wrong?" but they ignored her. They ran into the forest, and they saw a woman on the ground looking very scared with a large gash in her arm, and right in front of her was a large green demon with yellow horns. It looked very angry. Miroku did the first thing he thought of.
"I'll save you," Miroku yelled as he pulled out the tetsaiga then and jumped toward the demon, "Tetsaiga!" why isn't it transformingHe landed in front of the demon and hit it on the head with the Tetsaiga. It did nothing but make a 'clink' sound.
"Ut oh," Miroku said right before the demon roared, and punched him in the stomach. He fell back about ten feet.
"Idiot," InuYasha mumbled. He ran past Miroku and grabbed the tetsaiga. It transformed. InuYasha smirked as he ran toward the demon. He swung the tetsaiga like a bat at the demon and slashed it right through the torso. The demon fell to the ground and lost its green color. The woman said in a small voice, "Is it dead?"
"Should be," InuYasha said examining the demon. InuYasha didn't notice Miroku had gotten up and gone to the woman until.
"You are beautiful will you-" Miroku began, but when InuYasha heard the beginning of that phrase he hit Miroku on the top of the head with the tetsaiga. ((untransformed, don't worry))
"Owe that hurt," Miroku said rubbing his head where InuYasha hit it.
"Here's your sword," InuYasha said in a quiet, angry, voice handing the tetsaiga to Miroku. Suddenly, Kagome and Sango ran into the clearing, ready to fight.
"What's this?" Kagome asked in a confused voice. Then she saw the woman bleeding badly from her arm.
"Oh my, I'll go get the first aid kit," Kagome said quickly as she ran out of the forest, Sango followed. Then the woman looked up at InuYasha and gasped. Both Miroku and InuYasha looked back at the woman.
"What's wrong?" asked InuYasha.
"You're a monk, aren't you?" said the woman.
"Yes," InuYasha answered slowly.
"I've never seen a monk do that before," the woman said in amazement, "did you learn it from this demon?" ((she's referring to InuYasha killing the demon))
"No, I learned it from my father," InuYasha said with out thinking. dammit, why did I say that, a monk wouldn't learn that kind of thing from his father
"Wow, that was amazing," the woman said believing every word of word of it, "hey, but aren't monks suppose to be peaceful?"
"Yes but, I uhh, well you see, um.." InuYasha said, he had no clue what to say. Miroku had an idea.
"Yes, but after he became a monk he realized how many people were still getting hurt by demons, so his father, the samurai, taught him this so he could protect people," Miroku said confidently.
"But why didn't he try to kill you?" she asked.
"Well, I'm not a bad demon, I don't kill people," he said.
"Oh I see, thank you for saving me," she said. wow, she's really gullible Miroku bowed and said, "It was my pleas-"
"I was talking to the monk," she interrupted. Then she stood up, walked to InuYasha and said, "So what' your name?" Kagome and Sango ran into the clearing.
"Sorry it took so long I-" Kagome began, but she stopped when she saw what she thought was Miroku ((actually InuYasha)) next to the woman.
"Get away from her, Miroku, you pervert!" Sango yelled.
"What? He's not a pervert he saved my life," said the woman, "If any one's a pervert, it's that demon." She pointed to Miroku.
"What are you talking about, I'm not the pervert, he is," Miroku said quickly.
"No, you're the per-" The woman began, raising her voice, but was interrupted InuYasha who whispered, "Just go along with it."
"Okay," the woman said, her eyes huge as she stared at InuYasha. Kagome and Sango didn't notice he had whispered anything.
"Oh my god, I am so sorry," Kagome said quickly running up to the woman, "you must be in so much pain."
"Huh?" the woman said in a confused voice, she had completely forgot about her arm. Kagome sat the woman down on the ground and opened the first aid kit. She pulled out a rag and a bottle of ointment; she squirted the ointment into the rag and began to rub it on the woman's wounds.
"Owe, that stings, what is it," the woman asked.
"It's the latest in medical technology," Kagome answered, "It hurts a little, but it works really well."
"Oh, thank you," the woman said as Kagome began to bandage her cut with a roll of linen.
"By the way, my name is Miyuki," the woman said as Kagome finished.
"And I am Kagome," Kagome said standing up, "this is Sango," she said as she pointed to Sango, "this is InuYasha," as she pointed to Miroku ((thinks is InuYasha)) "and this is Miroku" as she pointed to InuYasha ((you get the idea))
"Well, thank you all," Miyuki said, "You must come back to my village, you could meet master, he will want to reward you for defeating that nuisance, and saving me." Miyuki picked up an over turned basket that was on the ground and began to walk through the forest.
"It's just this way," she said as they began to follow. As they walked the trees thinned out. They walked out of the forest and into the sunlight and Miroku squinted, not used to the light. They all looked down into the valley before them and saw a village abundant with people.
Miyuki smiled and said, "Welcome, to my village."
