Fading Dreams
Miroku is an itinerant monk. He spends his life, after his father dies, wandering the land, searching for the demon who cursed his grandfather.
He often thinks, if his life ever makes it into the tales, that would be a decent beginning of the story.
He hopes they'll edit it a little. Hopefully, they'll at least leave out the part where he gropes Kagome in front of Inuyasha.
He is cursed, a Wind Tunnel in his right hand. He is also cursed with wandering attentions and wandering hands, although many of the women around him will argue that they are the ones cursed. At least when he's awake.
He is also in love.
She is a demon exterminator, a woman who has known great pain and suffering, and has survived and become all the stronger for it.
He admires her.
She drives him insane.
He does not want to hurt her, but he fears it's inevitable. There are moments when he dreams of them being happy, of them growing old together.
But then he looks at his hands, and all dreams fade.
