Miroku came out and fell flat on his face with an injured arm. They all ran slightly towards him before realizing what had just happened.

Yue yelled "SAKURA! WHAT THE HELL!"

"What? It was a reaction. What if it was Naraku?"

Kagome ran over to him "he seems ok..."

Yue walked over to him as well "Eww… he smells like liquor!"

Sakura cheered "Sweet! He was drunk, he hallucinated, and he hit himself, problem solved!"

"Sakura, you almost killed this man! This wasn't even a problem to begin with!"

Kagome helped him up against a tree, eyes were still hazing and half closed. "Miroku? Can you hear me? Miroku?" she waved her hand in front of his face, looking for a reaction, but he was completely trashed.

"Wait, you know this man?" Yue asked

"Well yeah, he's a friend of the prince."

"Oh, the prince Inuyasha? Of course, how can I forget? He is always at sea running from suitors. Got to admit though, I would do the same thing." She laughed.

Sakura laughed with her "I know, right? Remember that pie princess he was raving about?"

"Oh yeah! And that gloomy princess too! Wow, there were some funny stories coming from that man…"

Kagome then asked "wait, suitors?"

Sakura laughed "Well as a princess you should know, you have to be married to a royal prince or princess to gain the crown. He's had many options, none of which were interesting in the least for him. Oh and his friend, I remember him now. He's always with him on these things. And… well he is a bit of a drunk and a womanizer."

"Oh right… of course…"

Yue looked at Kagome "Are you… you seem a bit bitter towards this…"

Kagome asked "Bitter towards what?"

Sakura caught on this too "Yeah Yue's right. Maybe it's because you haven't had a lot of choices?"

Yue looked at Sakura with a stupid expression. "Sakura, you are such a retard."

"What?"

Kagome growled "I don't care how many suitors he has. He can choose whoever he wants. It's obvious he doesn't care about women or their feelings. He is a completely selfish person who sweet talks their way into what they want."

*GASP* you're in love with the prince, aren't you!"

"WHAAAAAAT? Psh noo…. That's crazy!"

Both sisters smirked.

Kagome held her hands up slightly "I'm not! I'm not! I'm actually mad at him, he is a complete insensitive jerk!" she said while crossing her arms.

"Yep you're in love. I can tell."

Kagome sighed. "I really hope not."

Then they heard a moan from Miroku, and Kagome immediately went to his side. "Miroku? Hey, you ok?"

He brought his head up slightly "w-What? What the fuck happened?" he asked with his fluttering eyes.

"You got drunk and wandered through the forest. I just happened to find you. You feel ok to walk or stand?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Ughh…. Wait who are they?" He pointed at the two sisters that we looking at each other and just shook their heads in an 'I don't know' fashion.

Kagome tried to come up with something quick "uh… friends I met in the village."

Yue stepped in "Yes, we were just checking in on her, making sure she gets home or to someone safely. We actually have to leave now though" She motioned for Sakura to leave

"Well, just be careful Kagome. We'll be there if you need us." She finished off saying while Sakura just followed her down the shore, obviously waiting for a good moment to leave the shore and into the ocean.

Kagome smiled slightly at the girls as they walked away before diverting her attention to Miroku, who was gaining his normal consciousness slowly, but surely. "Miroku?"

He groaned while standing up, then suddenly clasping his arm. "Why does my arm hurt?" Then noticed the red marks and his torn sleeve "And why are my clothes tattered up?"

She thought quickly "You burned yourself on the fire pit thing, remember?"

"Oh uh… yeah…" pretending that he remembered. But of course, it never did.

She grabbed his arm and held it above her shoulder, helping him balance on his feet. "You got it?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm good… Just need to walk it off is all." He let go of Kagome and starting walking on his own. They walked through the forest for a little while longer and they came upon the view of the village. But before they could reach it, Miroku collapsed and fell again, landing on his knees, and his head hung down low.

*sigh*

She grabbed him again, and walked into the village, carrying Miroku like the drunken mess that he was. A couple of Mirokus friends came out and helped him off Kagome.

One of them tried to apologize. "I'm sorry miss, He's a bit of a ladies man, and if he did something to make you uncomfortable, sorry. It's just how he is sometimes, especially when he's like this."

"Oh no, you're ok. I just found him like that. He didn't do anything TO me, I promise."

"Good" he replied, as he and the other man carried him off down the road towards the castle as Kagome followed them.

All of the villagers that were in town looked at them as they carried Miroku, and they gave a disgusting look towards him.

I guess you can say that this village wasn't happy about getting their idiot back.

Kagome said to herself. 'Great. Miroku is completely wasted and now… I'm going to have to explain everything to Inuyasha. I don't want to lie to him though…'
