…When he arrived at the shrine, he saw none other than Mushine himself. He went up to the drunken old man and gulped. "Is Miroku here?" He hiccuped. "Yes, but he said to keep a dog Hanyou out. Are you dog?" Inuyasha mentally chuckled. "No I'm actually fox." Mushine sighed. "Very well." Inuyasha nodded and ran through the temple, in search of his love. ~That was easy. Now the hard part.~
When he found Miroku, he was in the zen garden, meditating. Inuyasha stood at the edge of the sand. "Miroku." The monk tensed. "Go Inuyasha. You can't do anything for me nor can I for you. If you've come to tell me you changed your mind about me then just save it. I know it's all just an attempt to cheer me up." Inuyasha stepped forward, but was repelled by a barrier. He clenched his fist. "Miroku please! Can we talk?" The monk slightly relaxed. "We can talk now. Just say what you have to say." Inuyasha tried to get past the barrier again, but was thrown back. He skidded to a halt and ran at the barrier. "No! I want to talk to you face to face!" He hit the barrier and it shocked him. Inuyasha growled and pulled out red Tetsaiga. Miroku watched as he tried to cut it down, but to no avail. Inuyasha tossed his sword aside and fell to his knees, resting his hand on the barrier. "Please. I love you Miroku. Come out." The monk stepped on the rock he stood on and Walked on the stones to the edge of the barrier. "Why are you here?" Inuyasha stood and looked into Miroku's eyes. "Because I came to make things right. Kagome told me what happened and after I woke up, I remembered you. I remember my love for you." Miroku faintly smiled and stepped out of the barrier. "Are you sure you're not just making this up?" Inuyasha embraced him tightly. "I'm positive." Miroku closed his eyes and took in a deep breath of his scent. ~I miss his forest smell.~ Inuyasha kissed the monk and smiled. "I'm sorry that happened." Miroku sighed. "It's ok. I'm sorry I reacted the way I did, even if you don't remember that." Inuyasha held his hand. "I'm glad I didn't."
…They walked back to the village, hand in hand. Once just outside of the village, Miroku stopped in front of the Hanyou and hugged him. "Don't you ever do that again hear me?" Inuyasha blushed and nuzzled him. "I won't." Miroku kissed him on the nose. "Good." Inuyasha pulled his ears back shyly and smiled. Miroku chuckled. "You're back alright."
…Naraku cursed to himself. "Damn! He overcame it! I can't believe they are together. Why them?" Naraku sighed. "Oh well. I was stupid to attack the Hanyou." He closed his eyes and grinned evilly. "I will just have to try again. But not too soon. All in good time."
The couple returned to their hut at the end of the village and relaxed for the rest of the day. Inuyasha was in Miroku's arms, sleeping peacefully. The monk didn't sleep, but simply watched over his beloved Hanyou and admired his cute expression. ~He looks so calm.~ He thought to himself.
Inuyasha pulled back his ears and buried his face into Miroku's chest. He made a low rumbling noise in his chest and if he had a tail, it would be wagging. Miroku stroked his head gently and smiled. "You're adorable Inuyasha." The Hanyou's growl turned more hostile for a moment and went back to a soft rumbling. Miroku chuckled. "You and your pride." Inuyasha sighed into Miroku's chest and smiled. "Yeah well, can't do anything about it." Miroku turned on his back, Inuyasha lying on top. The Hanyou looked down at him with a deep blush in his cheeks. Both smiled and simply relaxed, enjoying each others warmth.
…A couple hours later, it grew dark out and Inuyasha woke up beside his monk. He smiled and kissed him on the cheek. Miroku put his arm around Inuyasha and looked down at him. Their eyes locked and Inuyasha couldn't help but smile. Miroku kissed him. "Morning." Inuyasha moaned into his mouth. "Mn… Miroku." The monk pulled away and sat up, straddling his body. Inuyasha felt his heart pound in his chest.
Miroku leaned down and kissed the embarrassed Hanyou. The monk pinned his hands above his head. Inuyasha arched his back and moaned. Miroku pulled away from the kiss and looked deeply into Inuyasha's golden eyes. "Do you want to do this?" Inuyasha bit his lip. "Yes." Miroku kissed his neck and Inuyasha clenched his fists. "Ah…" The monk ran his tongue up Inuyasha's neck. A faint grin spread on the Hanyous lips. ~Gods I love this. Miroku makes me feel wanted. Needed. For the first time in my life I'm not tied to debts and promises. I'm actually wanted in this world.~ Miroku untied Inuyasha's Haori and kimono, revealing his muscular chest and stomach. Miroku ran his hand down his lovers chest to his stomach. "Gods Inuyasha." The Hanyou tensed. "What?" Miroku grinned. "You're just so amazing." Inuyasha blushed and looked into Miroku's raven eyes. "You are too."
Miroku's hand trailed down to Inuyasha's pants and the Hanyou winced. He kissed him and slipped his tongue last his. He just couldn't get enough.
…Inuyasha nuzzled Miroku's bare chest and smiled. "I love you." The monk sighed. "I love you too." The tired Hanyou yawned and closed his eyes. "I love you more." Miroku smiled. "I love you most." Inuyasha chuckled. "I highly doubt it."
Meanwhile, back in Naraku's lair, he despised the two. He spat. "It's sickening. Their love is strong indeed, but that is what puts vomit in my mouth. Love and kindness are unneeded and useless." Naraku crushed the orb in his hand. "Disgusting."
