Chapter Two

"Sounds like family issues that need to be solved." Sanzo took a drag from the cigarette he had just lit.

"Oh it is. They're half brothers, with the same father. Sesshoumaru is mad that Inutaisho, their father, left tetsaiga to Inuyasha. A sword that can kill a hundred demons in one swing, while Sesshoumaru got a healing sword, tensaiga."

"You've rehearsed this haven't you?" Sanzo stared at the teenage girl.

Kagome laughed nervously, "Ehehe, I used it in my creative writing class back home…" Hakkai laughed as well, understanding her use of the story.

"You," Sesshoumaru pointed to Gojyo. Gojyo looked to his left and right, finding his friends had backed away from him.

"Me?"

"Yes, you. Tell me how you did it." Sesshoumaru looked down his nose at the half-breed.

Gojyo smirked, "Well. You do look like a chick, so maybe it would work."

"Baka," Inuyasha sat back on his heels, ready to watch the red haired kappa get his ass kicked.

Gojyo advanced on the silver haired dog demon. He grabbed Sesshoumaru's wrists, squeezing hard enough to not let him go. He tugged him down and was nearly touching his lips, "You, are just like your brother," he let go of his wrist, placing his hands on Sesshoumaru's shoulders and shoving while he kicked his feet out from under him.

There was one problem. Sesshoumaru had reacted badly to being called the same as his brother. He sidestepped Gojyo's attack, twisting his arm behind his back, "I am nothing like that stupid half breed."

"Ouch, bastard, I get it. Let go." Gojyo winced in pain. Sesshoumaru let go of the red heads arm.

"Will you leave now?" Inuyasha stared at his half brother pointedly.

"Yes, brother, now I will leave. But please beware that I will be back for your sword." Sesshoumaru disappeared into the woods.

"I swear, he needs to cut down the melodrama." Sanzo muttered and Kagome laughed nervously.

"Excuse me, would you happen to know a place we can stay for the time being? We aren't exactly sure on how we're getting back." Hakkai turned to Sango.

"Well, the village is just down the road, but I don't believe there are any inns. And Kaede's hut can't fit any more people…" Sango replied.

"I have a hut built in this area. They are welcome to stay with me." Miroku added.

"We thank you kindly," Hakkai bowed to the monk. Sanzo eyed him suspiciously.

Miroku walked into the very dark, very empty hut, "Welcome home."

"Miroku, do you ever clean this place?" Sango coughed as she wiped of a layer of dust from the wall.

"I haven't been here in some time, so it has been awhile since I've been home." He smiled sheepishly.

"Well, we'll be at Kaede's, Miroku. Be good, ne?" Kagome waved goodbye as she exited with her friends.

"Well, please, sleep where you feel comfortable. I believe I have a few extra futons in the closet." Gojyo had stripped down to his boxers, as well as Goku and Hakkai. Sanzo had taken off the front of his robe, revealing the leather top underneath. Miroku's breath stopped in his throat upon seeing the blonde monk coming forth from the back room.

When everyone was settled, Miroku left the crowded hut in search of fresh air, 'What the? He's gorgeous! But, I'm straight, right?' Miroku questioned his sexuality whilst looking at the hit that the four bishounen where currently in.

"What are we going to do?" Goku whined.

"Clearly it's a plot by Kougaiji to keep us from reaching our goal." Hakkai pointed out.

"Doesn't he want the scripture? Why would he send us here? It'd make more sense if he'd have kept the damn priest."

Sanzo glared at his friends, "Shut up, I'm trying to sleep."

"Yea, yea," they all mumbled and eventually fell asleep.

Miroku woke to a sharp pain in his side the next morning, "Get up." Miroku felt the pain again and sat up to be kicked in the side again.

"I'm up, I'm up. There is no need to kick me further." Miroku looked at Sanzo warily, "What did you need?"

"Nothing. I just felt like kicking you." Sanzo sat down next to Miroku and proceeded to light a cigarette, "Why did you sleep out here?"

"I'm used to sleeping outdoors. I'm almost never home. What are you smoking?"

"It's a cigarette. Here," he handed the lit cigarette to Miroku, who inhaled deeply. He started hacking immediately. Sanzo pat his back to help with the coughing, "Haha, you baka. Don't take a deep breathe. Inhale slightly, but keep the smoke in your mouth. You've never smoked before?"

"I'm a monk, I grew up without such impurities." He coughed slightly.

"And yet, you're a womanizer."

"Ah, now see, that's not my fault. That's a family trait." Miroku laughed and handed the cigarette back to Sanzo, "Sanzo?" Miroku had grown nervous by the stare that Sanzo gave him.

"Shut up,"

"What?"

Sanzo pounced on him, making them both fall backwards onto the dewy grass, "I said shut up." He placed a kiss on his jaw, Miroku shivered in delight. He placed another near the side of his mouth. Another on his cheek. Another by his eye. Another on his forehead, "Do you…"

"You are mean." Miroku pouted.

"Yea, I am, get over it," he brought his mouth down into a crushing kiss. Miroku moaned into it, leaning up to make the kiss rougher.

"Eh-em," somebody cleared their throat to get the two males attention. Sanzo lifted his head and Miroku blinked confusedly.

"Am I interrupting?" Hakkai smiled gently.
