Chapter 4: Sango kidnapped

A week went off and Miroku had a very short temper now, he was so mad with the curse that he even barked and chased with anger the happy chirping birds on the ground in the morning, Inuyasha "decided to stay voluntarily" to watch over the village and Miroku's safety after Kagome asked him "nicely" with two 'S' words, Shippo went with Kaede to a near village to treat a sick man and Sango was busy doing some errands at the village.

"Oi Miroku would you stop chasing birds and sit already!, It's not like doing that will turn you back to normal any faster and you are just pissing me off" Inuyasha yelled at Miroku tired of watching the monk running in circles "every day you behave more and more like a pup" Miroku growled at him "what!, You wanna fight monk!" he jumped off the tree he was sitting on and grabbed the monk by the neck and shook him around "you can't even hurt me in this condition you are"

"PUT ME DOWN INUYASHA, STOP IT! I SWEAR THAT IF YOU KEEP DOING THIS I'LL MAKE YOU PAY WHEN I GET BACK TO NORMAL!" Why did Kagome-sama ask HIM of all people to watch over me! Buddha has put me a big burden to endure! He barked at Inuyasha who kept shaking him until he got dizzy and fainted.

"There, at least you will be quieter like this" Inuyasha let the fainted monk fall to the ground and went back to his tree.

When Sango arrived a couple hours later Miroku was still lying on the ground but growling softly at Inuyasha who was simply ignoring him "what happened?" she asked and as soon as Miroku heard her he stood up and whimpered at her like a hurt puppy crying for its mom "Is there something wrong Houshi-sama?"

"Nothing is wrong! I just put him on his place because he wouldn't stay still" Inuyasha said and Miroku continued growling at him "I'm telling you monk every day you behave more like a pup I think the curse its affecting your brain!"

"And tell me Inuyasha how exactly did you put Houshi-sama in his place?" She knew Inuyasha for a long time now and something tell her he didn't do it nicely.

"I just grabbed and shook him until he fainted" he crossed his arms as if he hadn't done anything wrong, Miroku barked at him and Sango stared at him with an eyebrow raised "WHAT!"

"I see why you are mad at him Houshi-sama"

"HEY! Don't blame me for this, it was Kagome's idea I didn't even want to stay" he jumped off his tree and stood with his finger pointing towards the woods "If you want to blame someone blame that stupid Kagome!"

"I'll stay with him Inuyasha you can go if you like" Inuyasha didn't think it twice and went off to the forest "I guess it was a bad idea to ask Inuyasha right?" Miroku nodded as he jumped on her lap and lay wagging his tail "Hey what do you think you are doing?"

"Well I just wanted to enjoy your company my dear Sango that's all" he barked looking up at her.

"You aren't planning anything stupid are you?" she crossed her arms and he shook his head "good, because if you do anything, I'll kill you, you hear me?" he nodded and lay down again closing his eyes; they were like that until Rikichi arrived asking for help. (N/A: Rikichi is a villager that's like Kaede's assistant or something like that, if you don't know who I'm talking about look for him in the episodes 1, 89 or 26 in kanketsu-hen, I think he appears in other episodes too but I don't remember which)

"Where is Inuyasha? We need help there is a demon outside the village kidnapping women!" Sango stood up dropping the sleeping monk on the floor and he whined and looked at her.

"I'll be going, you look for Inuyasha he must be near by the well" Sango grabbed her Hiraikotsu and Miroku went after her while Rikichi went off looking for Inuyasha.

The demon had a human form; he was tall, dark eyes and had a strong youki, something in him looks familiar Sango thought "Who are you and what do you plan to do with the women!" The demon looked at her and then at Miroku.

"Well, well if it isn't the Monk I threw my Henkantamatai at, are you enjoying your life as a cub?" the demon said mockingly, Miroku growled at him.

"So you are still alive, that might be the reason I haven't change back" Miroku barked "You are going to pay for this!"

"WHAT!" Sango said in disbelief "How come you are still alive, I saw Inuyasha cut you in half!"

"You think I'm that stupid to let a Hanyou kill me? It wasn't really me it was an illusion" The sage demon charged an attack and threw it at Sango and she covered with her Weapon "but if I would have known I was going to find you again I would have killed you before" the sage demon kept attacking Sango and Miroku not even giving them a chance to attack.

I have to find a way to counter his attacks, but how? Sango thought as she dodged the sage demon's attacks, she looked at Miroku and realized he was having a hard time dodging, with the appearance he had he couldn't move at his normal speed "Houshi-sama!" she jumped towards him and grabbed him with her left arm.

"Foolish woman! You are mine now" the sage demon moved next to her and right before he could lay a hand on her Miroku jumped off her arm and bit his shoulder "you stupid monk this is nothing!" he shook him off and hit him with one of his attacks causing him to crash into a tree, Sango took the opportunity and threw her Hiraikotsu at the demon landing a fatal blow on him.

"Houshi-sama!" Sango turned around to look at the monk and ran to pick him up "Are you Ok?" Miroku nodded as his tail wagged weakly and then fear filled his eyes when the sage appeared behind her with his arm covered in blood and used a spell to pin her on the tree.

"You'll pay with your life wench!" the demon raised his hand aiming an attack towards Sango and just before he could hurt her Inuyasha's Wind Scar stopped him, Kirara growled and attacked the sage trying to make him release Sango but he dodge her and flew away with Sango as hostage, Miroku tried to run after them but he was injured, and he growled desperately.

"Calm down Miroku, We'll go after them you stay here and rest" Inuyasha was about to go when Miroku barked at him and bit his clothes "You can't come in this condition Miroku; I know you are worried but you can't help like this!" he said but Miroku didn't let go "FINE! COME ON!" he grabbed him and ran after the demon sage and Sango.
