Chapter 7
He woke in a dark cold damp room, which he had thought to be maybe a dungeon of some type. Scanning the room he could see no one else nor hear anything that would resemble another person. He moved towards the only exit a large metal door.
"Hello is anyone there!" Miroku screamed into the darkness.
After a few minutes of screaming he finally heard the footfalls of another headed towards him. As he placed his hands on the door a shock knocked him on his ass and back out of the world. As he came to the next time he found himself chained to a wall with two women staring at him and snickering.
The one woman he knew was Kikyo, but something was off about her. He looked at the other woman. She was skinny as a pole. No shape and could almost pass as a teenage boy. A long face with a nose that looked as if it had been broken one to many times. A large hairy mole above her right eye drew his eyes. Ratty mouse brown hair hung in strings from her head.
He had no idea whom she was nor did he want to know. He needed to get out of here and back to his lush Sango. In his mind his best bet was to play the ever-sweet monk that people loved.
"Kikyo how wonderful to see you and who is this goddess that has blessed the earth with her presence?" Miroku asked with a bright smile to woman.
Kikyo was have none of this nonsense this morning. Her mind was still playing on what Inuyasha had said to her and the feelings that he had forced her to remember.
"Monk, do you remember the first woman you ever asked to bare your child?" Kikyo sneered at him.
The first woman he ever asked to bare his child. Miroku's mind flashed back to the age of thirteen. A pretty summer day and a lovely girl around his same age. He had brought her to a field of flowers and was blessed with his first kiss. This is was one of Miroku's favorite memories of his youth. This could not be the same girl.
"I do remember the girl. Her name was Asami. What does she have to do with this?" Miroku asked rather confused. The woman next to Kikyo flashed angry eyes at him.
"She was my sister. She waited for you to come back for her and keep the promise you made to her. So many men offered her riches and a good life, but she waited for you. It was a couple of months ago when we where in a village. She saw you with another woman. That night she took her life, because of you and the lie you promised!" The woman screamed and spit into his face.
Shock and horror took shape on Miroku's face.
"I was a kid. I didn't really think that she would wait for me. I never meant to cause any harm. It was all in good fun." Miroku said casting his eyes to the ground.
"Ah, but the problem is that you did cause harm. You destroyed her and now her sister is here to avenge her." Kikyo voiced angrily. Pulling the pyramidal jewel into her grasp she started to chant.
Miroku felt something being torn from his body. He screamed as the chanting continued. Once again the darkness took him as his body went into shock. When he woke he found himself in a field of green grass. He remembered all that had happened, but he wondered why they had let him go. He began to meditate in order to get his thoughts together.
The next day had brought new challenges for the group. Aside from having a yipping puppy that was in constant want of attention. Kagome was having wicked morning sickness that caused the group too repeatedly stop on their trip. Sango was an emotional wreck barking at them to move their asses.
The human Sesshomaru had stopped the youki from sneaking up on Sango with his daggers drawn. Suddenly Sango spotted Miroku in a field and raced towards him. Tears falling from her eyes as she finally reached him. Now normally Miroku would jump up and grab her in fierce hug grabbing her ass. This time he sat there looking deadpan at them like it was just another day.
Kagome and Inuyasha made their way over to the strangely emotional comatose Miroku.
"Miroku, are you okay? I didn't feel your holy powers. As a matter of fact I still don't." Kagome said biting at her lip nervously. Rising from the ground he walked to Kagome and pat the puppy on his head.
"Very nice dog Kagome." He said in a serious manner.
Sango watched her beloved monk moved lifelessly among the group. He seemed cold and distant. Not the man she loved at all.
"Seems as if they took his holy powers and libido." Snickered the youki Sesshomaru.
"NO way, they can take away someone's desires! That is just…that is just wrong!" Kagome yelled. Sango on the other hand tried a different approach to test the theory.
She sauntered up to the monk and began to glide her body against him as if he where a strip pole in a club. Suddenly the monk grabbed her wrist to stop her. Turning her to face him.
"That is not very lady like. Please do not do that public again" The monk scolded her.
Shocked expressions and complete silence gripped the group. Kagome was the first to break the tension as she groaned and ran to a bush to throw up.
"I am afraid dear friends this is where I must leave you all." The monk said with a bow of his head.
"Leave us? What do you mean leave us?" Sango asked in a panic.
"I must go and seek out all the women that I have wronged and beg for their forgiveness. Maybe then I will be blessed with my holy powers. I am not worthy of them for the time being." The monk replied humbly.
A huff left Sango's lips as she turned to her friends. "I can't let him go by himself. Something will kill him. Without his hand or holy powers he is as helpless as a kitten." Sango said before grabbing Kagome in a good bye hug and promising that they would meet up later. A little mew left Kirara as they went to catch up with the now righteous monk.
Kagome looked to her companions and shook her head. Once again the puppy started to yip at her to pet him. The Sesshomarus both rolled their eyes at the needed pup.
"Lets keep going before anything else happens." Kagome grumbled with puppy in hand and two Sesshomarus she was not sure what more could happen that day.
A little deeper in the woods a howling of pain was cutting the air. Whimpers and struggling did nothing to help his cause. Blood was pouring from his severed legs. Even if he freed himself from the tree that held him prisoner he could not run or walk. He might as well die from blood-lose. He closed his eyes to the world.
Kagome and her little band where making a steady pace through the forest. Suddenly the youki Sesshomaru stopped and sniffed the air. Kagome gave a questioning look.
"Blood and lots of it. Stay here and I will see if it is safe to travel" The youki said darting in the direction of the blood.
Kagome never wanting to be left behind could take it no longer. She took off in the direction of the youki with the human hot on heels. As she turned a corner she found him. She followed his eyes to see the body bound to the tree with the legs severed.
"KOGA!" She screamed before she fainted.
