Sango, Shippo, and Kagome traveled for more than a month before they came upon the Banzari Temple, it was draped in green silk proving that the emerald of earth lay deep within its depths. Kagome took in a deep breath before entering the temple; her eyes scanned the room as she heard the footsteps of her companions following her. Soon she came to the main chamber where a young man sat, his violet eyes cast down and his right hand covered in a purple cloth surrounded by a swarm of beads one of which caught her eye, the green was a dead give away as to what she wanted.

"Oh great monk could you please give us the emerald placed securely on your wrist?"

Kagome asked not quite sure how to talk to a monk, the man looked up his eyes upon Kagome then Sango. His eyes landed last on Shippo, he slowly got up from his resting place and walked down to where the three were.

"Well Kagome I see that you have arrived safely, I am the monk Miroku and I know of your journey and what you seek. I too have been sought out by the Oracle to aid you on your journey. I may not be the best of monks but I do great in battle, although my arm is a curse it still aids me well. On that note," He knelt down in front of her and took her hand. "Will you do me the honor of barring my children?" Kagome looked down at him with a look of shock and horror before her hand landed smack dab on his right cheek.

"What in the world are you getting at you lecher!"

She practically screamed at the red faced monk that was looking up at her with a sly look on his face. He was used to the slaps so her little stunt didn't faze him one bit, on the other hand his eyes caught sight of Sango but from the look of her he knew not to get to close for fear of his own life.

"We'll let you come as long as you keep your lecherous hands off of us Miroku."

Kagome said with a stern tone of voice, Shippo on the other hand made a slight giggle as Miroku nodded and bowed in agreement. Miroku allowed them to rest for the night in the Temple, he gave them nice food and warm beds to sleep in so that they could start their journey bright and early the next morning. Morning came and all were refreshed and ready to start the search for the sapphire jewel in other words the jewel of water. Kagome kept a close eye on the pervert that traveled with them; she still didn't trust him enough to let her eyes wonder elsewhere. Shippo's ears perked up again, this time a demon aura surrounded them.

"Kagome I think we're in big trouble here, we're surrounded." Shippo shook in fear as a cloaked man appeared in front of Kagome, his pitch black eyes barring into her. She was stuck on the spot her body wouldn't move and she knew that this was all the cloaked mans doing.

"What do you want with me?" She asked not quite sure why this man even wanted her in the first place, he seemed like one that did other's dirty work but just who was he working for.

"I work for Sesshomaru, and he wants his bride back."

The man hissed in her ear before he wrapped his arms around her torso, Miroku couldn't use his wind tunnel because Kagome was in the way. And Sango couldn't use her giant boomerang for the same reason, for fear of hitting Kagome in the process. Shippo on the other hand clung to Kagome for dear life; the man serving under Sesshomaru didn't care because he thought the little fox demon was of no threat. Right before their eyes Kagome disappeared with Shippo and the cloaked man, Miroku and Sango looked at one another before looking all about.

"He did say Sesshomaru right?"

Miroku asked Sango as they walked along the sandy path.

"That's what I heard."

Sango said with a bit of distaste in her voice, she knew of the young demon prince even though she hadn't met him yet he still made her as mad as ever.

"I know where the castle is located," Miroku said with a hint of confidence in his tone of voice. "He lives in Morden, it's not that far from here and I'm sure we could make it by night fall."

"Alright lead the way Miroku." Sango said as she clutched her boomerang close to her body.

A/N: Sorry the chapters are pretty short I'm not really in a writing mood, and I just did this story to pass the time. There are at least about five more chapters that I need to write before this story is finished.
