A/N: A gift for AM78
Tabi
Miroku was looking for his tabi and couldn't find them anywhere. He searched the baskets with clothing, both clean and dirty, he looked under the table and even under the raised floor, but he came out empty handed and in need for dusting.
Finally he asked Sango if she knew where his lucky tabi were. His lovely wife raised a brow and shrugged.
"You wore them for the trip with Inuyasha, so they might still be in your traveling bag," she answered to his inquiry, not even looking up from changing their son's diaper.
He went to his bag and found inside some articles in need of washing that he had forgot about, but no tabi.
"Oi, monk!" Miroku turned around to see Inuyasha standing in the doorway, the twins clinging to his legs and giggling. But the hanyou wasn't in equally good mood.
"What is it, dear friend?" Miroku asked. An excellent idea came to his mind, but to get Inuyasha to help him in finding the missing tabi he had to soothe the hound. Maybe a flattery could do the trick? He frowned, trying to find a good compliment... "You look exceptionally good, did you do something with your hair?"
Sango snorted, the twins giggled and Inuyasha growled, and Miroku realized that he had said that aloud.
"Sorry," Miroku gave the hanyou a sheepish grin. "I'm a bit distressed because I can't find my lucky tabi."
The girls giggled again when Inuyasha threw something and hit the surprised monk right on the forehead. Miroku automatically reached a hand and caught the soft ball before it fell to the ground. It was dirty white and... Let's just say it didn't smell of roses.
"I found yah tabi, you moron," Inuyasha growled at him when he unrolled the ball to reveal that it was indeed a pair of socks.
"Girls," Sango sighed. "Apologize to uncle Inuyasha for throwing stink pellets at him gain."
"Hey!" Miroku gasped. "I'm wounded, they don't stink... That bad..."
