The green neon light of the bar sign barely light up what had turned out to be a chilly, pitch black summer night. The sign proudly declared "Mushin's Bar" in its constant blinking. The light of the sign gave her pale skin an unnatural green shade.

"Stay out here, Kirara." She commanded to her cat-like companion. Her lips were tugged down into a scowl and she sighed as she pushed open the doors to the dingy bar.

Her eyes searched the dimly lit bar until they fell upon a familiar brown haired man who was idly sipping sake. He was (against what she thought would be his better judgment) still dressed in a now rumpled blue military uniform. Also, he was surrounded by somewhat scantily clad women. She cleared her throat. The man looked up at the sound.

"Ah, lieutenant," The man grinned, "Odd seeing you here of all places, I didn't figure you were the sake type." The man, who was obviously a bit drunk, slung his arm around the closest woman.

"Don't you agree?" He questioned the woman, arm sliding down to grope her butt. Before the lecherous man could say anything else, he felt a strong, swift sting on his face. He recoiled in confusion. Ah, she had slapped him.

"Come on lieutenant! You're not any fun." He stood up walked over to her, sling his arm around her shoulders and whispered into her ear:

"Or are you just jealous?" His hand slipped down her back. Her face went bright red and she slapped him again. He crumpled to the floor this time.

"With all due respect sir," She snarled, "Please shut the hell up, we're leaving." He slowly stood up from the floor and looked, surprisingly, sober.

"In all seriousness though Sango," he whispered, "you know this is the best place for me to get intel"

"In all seriousness Miroku," She mocked "You shouldn't be flirting with women and drinking in your uniform!"

"It's not like it's a big-"
"It is a big deal," She sighed, "What kind of respectable monk, no what kind of respectable Colonel acts like this in public." He only grinned, ignoring her question, and went to grab his coat.

"See you later ladies!" All the women pouted as he left.

"Sir!"

"What lieutenant?" he questioned "I can't help it if the ladies love me." Sango scowled in silence as they stepped out into the night. At the sight of her owner Kirara ran up to join them.

"So why exactly did you come and get me?" Miroku asked seriously. "I assume it wasn't just to stop me from embarrassing myself."

"Well," She began, "There was a very interesting, ah, informant that showed up at the office before I left for the night. She brought a few files I think you need to see."

The Colonel struggled with the key to the office door. The door read: "Colonel Miroku, Head of the State Demon Slayer Program."

"Hah!" He gasped in success, "We really need a new lock."

"I'll look into it first thing tomorrow Sir." Sango assured. Miroku walked through the office and picked up the files on his desk. He opened the file and his expression darkened as he read.

"Not Liore." He exhaled, "What am I supposed to tell the kid?"

"I guess the only thing you could tell him is the truth, Sir."

"It was his first success as a state demon slayer though…" he trailed off in thought. "He thinks he saved that village." Miroku closed the file and stuffed it into a drawer. He dug his hands into his hair in frustration. A glimmer of light in the corner of his eye caught his attention. Sitting on his desk was a small glass bottle in which a small shard of a glowing pink gem resided. Sango noticed his shift of attention.

"The informant also left this."

"I didn't think it was real." He murmured. "The sacred Shikon Jewel." Sango nodded and added:

"Or at least a shard of it that is."

A/N Miroku as Roy, Sango as Riza, Mushin as Madame Christmas, and Kirara as Black Hayate. Ahh! I feel like they're OOC because I know Sango wouldn't be as stoic and quiet as Hawkeye but she'd be just as threatening. And I know Miroku would be more lecherous that Roy but, I don't know if he'd be as serious?! I don't know. Kind of following the FMA storyline, in a way. Oh and I guess I'm making this into a multi-chapter story. Next up: Inuyasha and The false priest of Liore (a flashback). I'm always open to any suggestions or comments!
