InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Life Filled With Lies ❯ Miroku's new obsession and Dirty Dancing ( Chapter 3 )

Since my completion of my first mission Sesshomaru had started me on an extensive training schedule. It was grueling, I had to wake up early and meet Sesshomaru in the training room where he would have me warm up for ten minutes then he would have me run half a mile to only return and do another four hours of rope climbing, scaling, and whatever Sesshomaru wanted me to focus on. The last portion of the work out is always the hardest and completely unknown to me until he would tell me exactly what we would be doing.

Today was a challenge. Sesshomaru had put ribbons at various heights of the room and through tricky traps. One of the ribbons was stuck to the top of the ceiling, but the only way to get there was to first climb a rope and then swing and then stick out my arm and push my self off of a log that was propelled by two ropes and grab the ribbon then go back to the rope. I was not looking forward to that stage.

The first ribbon was easy it was just on top of the rock wall but by the time I got to the final stage I was worn out. The first time I climbed the rope I let go to late and the log hit me in the stomach making me roll over in the safety net below gasping for air.

"Kagome stop messing around and get back up there."

"Oh yeah cause I meant to do that." I muttered as I got back up and tried again. Try after try I couldn't get enough momentum for me to be able to reach the ribbon or I would just eat shit on the log. I was bruised, cut up, and sore all around yet I still had to get that damn ribbon. Once more I climbed the rope and began to swing and using all my weight I swung off pushed off of the log and grimaced at the pain that shot up in my arm, but I managed to bear through it. Surprisingly enough I was able to grab the ribbon and propel back down on the rope. I got it! I got the ribbon! Oh shit, my arm is killing me. I staggered out of the training room and sat down at the kitchen table.

"Another day of rigorous training Kagome?" Miroku smiled bringing me hot coco and sitting next me.

"Yeah...I think I messed up my arm pretty bad." I said holding my right arm.

Miroku lifted my arm up, "Nope its just dislocated." And without any warning he popped it back into place making me scream. Now I was able to move it without it hurting as bad.

"So Miroku how long is Inuyasha on his mission?" I asked sipping at the rich cocoa.

"I don't know he hasn't called. Why do you ask?" Miroku said as he raised his brow.

"So I can know how much longer I have of peace."

Miroku let out a sigh and shook his head.
"Don't give me that look Miroku. How many times do I have to tell you Inuyasha is annoying, hot headed, arrogant, a complete asshole, ungrateful..." As I continued the list of all things wrong with Inuyasha I didn't realize he was standing right behind me.

"I missed you too." Inuyasha said with a sarcastic inflection in his voice.

"So your home there goes the peace and quiet. It's a shame."

"First off this is my house! Your lucky that I'm letting you stay here." Inuyasha's face began to turn red.

"Ha...let me stay here! You have been bitching and complaining about me since day one!"

"Sigh....will they ever learn.." Miroku again shook his head and left us squabbling.

"And another thing you took my chair!" Inuyasha yelled, the fight had broken into the point of five year old bickering.


"Oh by all means go ahead and sit then!" I yelled and got up out of 'his' chair and proceeded to leave the room.

*THUD*
I looked back around to see that Inuyasha had fallen and was paralyzed on the ground.

"You...fucking...BITCH!" Inuyasha yelled twitching.

"How can you pin this on me! I can't help it if your clumsy!"

Miroku and Sesshomaru came into the kitchen and for some reason began to laugh.

"Very funny..." Inuyasha said trying hard to get up.

"So she found out your little secret." Miroku said sitting down next to him.

"What little secret all I said was for him to sit."

The ground rumbled and the foundation on which supported Inuyasha broke and a small crater took Inuyasha further down and a crater then surrounded him. Inuyasha's arm lifted out of the rubble and he tried to get up again.

"What...the..." I was puzzled what the hell was happening.

"You see Kagome, Inuyasha has to obey certain orders, but only by those who have the power to do so. I suppose you are a person who has a hand over him." Miroku tried to explain.

"I'm still confused..."

"It is quite simple you say sit Inuyasha has to sit." Sesshomaru said still smiling.

The evil wheels in my head began to turn....I have leverage...no I have power...this thought process was only completed by my evil laugh which everyone then looked at me with perplexed looks. When Inuyasha finally got up and dusted himself off he charged at me.

"Sit boy!" I yelled testing this new found device.

Inuyasha then tripped down to the floor and looked up with rage filling his eyes...ok enough testing time to run! I ran all the way to the stairs when Inuyasha got up off of the ground and chased me. I manage to get to the top step when Inuyasha pushed me to the ground. Miroku and Sesshomaru stood at the landing looking up at us.

Inuyasha and I ended up just wrestling in jest. The anger soon turned into laughter even though we were hitting each other almost full force and rolling around.

"Hey Sesshomaru pay up!" Miroku smiled and held out his hand still on the landing looking up at Inuyasha and me.

"Damn...I knew I shouldn't have betted fifty..." Sesshomaru said looking at President Grant.

I tried to get up still laughing when Inuyasha grabbed onto my feet. "Oh no you don't!" making me trip back down. I then looked down and saw his golden eyes peering up to me and for a moment we just looked at each other until I became aware that one; Miroku and Sesshomaru were still watching us and two; I was blushing more than ever.

"Fine you lose." I said breaking up the moment.

"What do you mean I lose!" Inuyasha fired back.

"Ladies always win duh."

"Ha who said you were a lady.." Inuyasha's response was matched by my foot in his face sending him tumbling back down the steps.

"That was uncalled for." Inuyasha said rubbing his ass.

"Told you ladies always win." I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Ok you two enough horsing around you have a hit to make."

"The fuck Sesshomaru! I just got back." Inuyasha protested.

"Fine Inuyasha you can stay home and train...Miroku and Kagome will be taking the mission."

"Oh come on! Can't I just drink and sit on the couch!"

"Inuyasha that is what you always do. I distinctly remember you deciding that instead of going on your mission you and Miroku threw a party instead. So on top of your hangover the next morning
George Bush also announced his candidacy for president." Sesshomaru said with his arms folded. Inuyasha didn't even say anything in response he just grabbed a beer from the fridge and went into the training room

"Ok the target is a local guy so it shouldn't take very long. You two have to go take down a guy named Hiten. He works for an organization bent on taking over the country. The organization meets up tonight at the old warehouse towards the south end of town”

“I don’t understand what makes this case so special I mean there are a lot of organizations like that all over the world.”

“Kagome, it doesn’t matter if they are or aren’t a threat we were contracted to kill them. Their reasons for employing us is non of our concern. Understand.” Sesshomaru said walking away from the staircase.

“Yeah...”

“Alright Kagome lets get going.” Miroku said heading out the door.

It took us awhile to find the warehouse since Sesshomaru wasn’t exactly specific and there turned out to be an entire four blocks filled with warehouses. But pretty much after breaking into almost every single one we finally came across the one in which Hiten was in. We climbed on top of the roof and propelled down. Miroku’s job was to take down Hiten while I was to cause a distraction.

It wasn’t really hard since no one told me they were demons and they picked up my human scent right away. I hadn’t even touched the ground when they came filing out. How the hell did Miroku get passed them...stupid pervert.


“Oh look at the pretty girl...are you lost baby?” joked one of the demons.

Ok how the hell do I distract them...maybe I should just kill them all...but there are way too many of them...oh what the fuck do I do...

One of the demons drew close to me and while I was stuck trying to figure out how I was to distract him he picked me up in the air and started to parade me around. It took me a second but I used my hands and swung them behind me grabbing the guys throat. He began to choke and loosened his grip just enough for me to flip behind him and push him towards his demonic friends.


Once the demon pummeled into his friends they all ran after me. There was way too many for me to take on so I did the only thing I could think of and ran...it was like an episode of Scooby Doo...I just ended up running in circles and then changed to a different direction when they tried to cut me off. I soon noticed that there were fewer and fewer demons chasing me. I was getting confused until I saw that there was another person here.

This second assassin turned out to be a female and was chasing me around too. She had long black hair a giant boomerang and a fucking giant cat thing!

“Come here you fucking demon!” The lady assassin yelled.

“I’m not a demon!” I yelled still running from her. The lady then threw her boomerang knocking me on the ground.

“You’re lucky I don’t have time for this!” She yelled and headed off towards Miroku’s location.

I sat there stunned...what the hell is her issue... I then heard shots going off where Miroku was and ran in after him. Only to see Hiten laying on the ground with blood trailing out of his skull and Miroku with a giant hand shaped print on his face. It looks like the crazy chick was here.

“Miroku what happened!” I exclaimed drawing close to him.

“There was the most gorgeous girl here...” Miroku said with gleaming eyes.

“Oh brother, come on Miroku it seems our mission is over with.” Miroku then ran outside.

What the hell is his issue I was about to run out after him when I heard a rustling noise behind a crate. As I drew closer I heard sniffling and saw a little kid crying. He was short and a demon like the rest of them, but he was so innocent looking...then again I did live with two demons anyway and they weren‘t too bad.

“Hey...are you aright?” I asked putting my hand on the poor little fox kits shoulder.

“You killed my brother!” It yelled and then broke down even more.

“Hey...don’t cry...”

I didn’t know what to do...I guess this is why you don’t get close to the people you killed, but this kid has no where else to go...and I owe him something since he has no one now.

“Look, I’m not going to lie I was hired to go after your brother, but it was because he was involved with bad people.” I tried to comfort the little fox as much as I could.

“I know...but it was up to us to avenge our father’s death! He was killed in a riot outside of the capital.”

“Look, I know I can’t do anything that will make it ok, but you can come with me and I will look after you.” I smiled and rubbed the little one’s head.
“Really? You would take me in? Hiten only did cause I had no one else...but you willingly want me?” The kit said sniffling.

“Of course my dad didn‘t want me either when my mom died I know how you feel.” I then held out my hand and slowly the fox demon got back up on his feet and grabbed a hold. I went to go find Miroku and saw he was waiting in the car and as I got in I noticed that the other assassin was tied up and bound in the back and her cat thing was too. Only now the giant cat had shrunk into a cat no bigger then a kitten. I covered the kit’s eyes and had him sit on my lap in the front seat.

“Kagome what are you doing with a fox demon?” Miroku asked pulling away from the warehouse.

“What are you doing with a bound up girl in your backseat...besides his name is Shippo.” I said...really hoping that he wouldn’t explain the bound up girl in the backseat.

“Touché...but isn’t she just amazing..” Miroku gave a sigh..

“Miroku your a sick pig!” I said and leaned over and took off the duck tape from her mouth.

“Get me the fuck out of here you sick asshole!” The woman said trying to shift out of the ropes that bound her.

“She took our hit so I took her. I mean Sesshomaru is going to get slightly upset that there was another assassin hired.” Miroku smiled in the rear view mirror...I felt the same nausea that she must feel at that smile.

“Your logic fails on so many demented levels. Look I’m really sorry for my perverted friend here let me untie you!” I smiled and started untying the ropes from here.

“I wasn’t hired. That son of a bitch, Hiten, killed my family and my little brother!”

Shippo just sighed and curled up in my lap...he had probably heard those kind of stories about his brother a thousand times. The girl looked at a loss it was as if her life’s meaning had fled from her.

“Well I’m Kagome! And the pervert to my left is Miroku...again I’m really sorry about him. We just thought you were another assassin.”

“I suppose I understand...but keep him away from me...my name is Sango.”

“Where you going now that you’ve killed Hiten, Sango?”

“I don’t really know...I’ve been on the move for years trying to extract my revenge on him....but now that it’s over I don’t know what I’m going to do.” She stared out the window.

“You can’t roam the streets! A pretty girl like yourself shouldn’t be succumb to such conditions.” Miroku said with a devious smile. It’s funny I remember him using words very similar to that when I first moved in. Oh Miroku you little perve.

“I am not going to ever sleep with you! If that is what you’re getting at!” Sango shouted.

“You didn’t have to say it like that...” Miroku pouted.

“You know Sango you could live with us I mean I know your probably really wary of retard over there, but we could share a room or something. I know that Sesshomaru wouldn’t mind!”

“Thank you, but I think I’m going to decline.”

“Well if you ever need anything here is our address.” I handed her a piece of scratch paper with our house address and phone number on it.

“Thanks you can pull over now.” Miroku sadly obliged and Sango got out.

We showed up at the house around midnight and right when we walked through the door Inuyasha was there drenched in sweat and Sesshomaru was behind him with his back leaning on the stairwell banister.

“Someone took your kill.” Sesshomaru said coldly.

“Yeah and she was beautiful.” Miroku said with his head still caught up in the clouds.

“We won’t be getting paid.”

“What! Why not Sesshomaru?” I asked impatient for an answer.

“Because the people who hired you two wanted you to kill him...and now that someone has done it free of charge they didn’t feel it is necessary to pay us.” Sesshomaru said in an irritated voice.

“Look Sesshomaru..." I began but was only silenced when he lifted up his hand.

"Kagome, if you want to make it as assassin you can't let anything get in your way...I'm sorry but I don't think you will make it." Sesshomaru said unmoving. I was crushed...I had been training so hard and I put all my effort and energy into it...I couldn't let it be over. My eyes began to glaze over and fill with water...

"Sesshomaru it wasn't Kagome's fault!" Inuyasha bursted out surprising us all. Sesshomaru quickly dissolved his look of surprise and his natural cold stare and stern mouth resumed it’s position.

“Yeah Sesshomaru...it was actually kind of my fault...you see I was about to kill Hiten when I saw an angel with a boomerang. Don‘t blame Kagome for what I did.” Miroku stepped in.

“Very well, Miroku...don’t let it happen again.” Sesshomaru said and turned back to his study,

“Oh Miroku thank you!” I said throwing my arms over him.

“Hey I helped too you know!” Inuyasha said putting up his finger, but was ignored.

“Miroku is really nice, Kagome is lucky to have him isn’t she.” Shippo said to Inuyasha while looking on at Miroku and I.

“Oh yeah he is a great guy sneaking around and sniffing her underwear...wait...you the hell are you!” Inuyasha then peered down at the young fox demon.

“Oh, Inuyasha that is Shippo...Hiten was his brother. He has no where else to go so I said he could live with us.” I smiled and bent down and patted his head.
“What you don’t have that kind of authority around here this isn’t even your house!”

“But...where else can he go...he is so young and I’ve grown attached to the little guy.” I said pouting at Inuyasha.
“Fine he can stay, but he is your problem.” Inuyasha said folding his arms and expecting me to hug him like I had Miroku.

“Well thank you sire...you can go be a jackass somewhere else now!” I said placing my hands on my lips and Shippo seeing me upset stuck out his tongue.

“But...but...I said he could stay...” Inuyasha’s looked down at the floor and his ego vacated the building.

“Come on Shippo I’ll show you your room!”

As I left with Shippo Miroku just once again shook his head and put his hand on his friends shoulder.

“Why the hell does she trust you and not me? You’re a complete pervert and fell out of a tree trying to spy on her.”

“....Did you really have to bring that up...besides have you ever thought about I don’t know being nice to her?”

“I am nice!” Inuyasha barked back.

“Could have fooled me.” Miroku said walking away and leaving Inuyasha.

I tucked Shippo in my bed. The poor thing he had fallen asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. I on the other hand couldn’t sleep and went downstairs to the living room and saw Inuyasha sitting on the couch. I took a deep breath. I really don’t want to deal with him right now. I moved over to the couch and sat on the opposite end.

“So what are you watching.” I said looking at the TV screen. Inuyasha jumped at the sound of my voice and quickly changed the channel.

“Nothing! I was channel surfing.” Inuyasha said with panic.

“Really...” I said wondering what he was hiding on the channel he switched from, “Hey there is a special that I have been wanting to see can we watch it?” I asked.

Inuyasha remembered what Miroku had said about being nice and smiled and handed me the remote. I then used channel recall and Inuyasha became red in the face and lunged after the remote.

“Hey Inuyasha is this...” Before I could even think Inuyasha was pulling on the other end of the remote.

“No...I was channel surfing I told you!” Inuyasha said still trying to get back the remote.

“Hey Inuyasha...” I said batting my lashes and smiling.

“Yeah Kagome?” Inuyasha said letting his grip slide on the remote.

“Sit.”

Inuyasha fell back over on the other side of the couch and let out a small cry.

“That was a mean trick.” he said paralyzed. I flashed my devious smile.

“I know your dirty little secret Inuyasha! You weren’t channel surfing you were watching a chick flick! you were watching Dirty Dancing!” I fell over laughing.

“Hey...it isn’t a chick flick...there’s the scene where Johnny beats up Robert and the dance moves in there are really hard to do!” Inuyasha said trying to remain calm.

“Holy shit you know the characters names! It’s ok this was my mom’s favorite movie too. She said that she would marry Patrick Swayze if she could.” I began to think about how Mom and I would watch Dirty Dancing and how I used to imagine being Baby and finding a guy like Johnny Castle.

“So...you wanna watch it with me.?” Inuyasha looked up and had a look of that of a little boy.

“Yeah...I haven’t watched it at all since Mom died.” I smiled back and for some reason I moved a little closer to Inuyasha. Inuyasha rewound the tape and started the movie from the beginning.

“It’s on tape too...you actually own it.” I giggled again. Inuyasha sunk a little lower. I realized how uncomfortable he must be having a girl find out about his hidden obsession with Dirty Dancing. “It’s not as bad as me owning the entire collection of Star Wars even the special editions with commentary by George Lucas...but I’m talking about the original not the new prequels which just makes you left with a contorted face at the end due to the horrible puns and the annoying boy who is suppose to play Anakin...then again last one I do own, but that is because he kinda grew up to be a hotty...and now I’m ranting about Star Wars.” I might have over done it with making Inuyasha feel better, he looked at me completed fixated and deriving his attention from the opening credits.

It was a weird moment because we both started to laugh and I shifted over and used his shoulder as a pillow as we both drew our attentions back to the movie. Inuyasha tensed up as a soon as I put my head on him. I never realized how bony his shoulders were and tried to adjust without disturbing him.

“Here.” Inuyasha said putting his arm around me and letting my head lay on his chest. It was a lot comfier...but at the same time I was still not use to him being this nice nor being this close...sure there were the incidents when we had slept together...but that was when we were asleep right now we were both conscious.

When the scene came up where Baby’s dad is looking out towards the lake ignoring Baby and Baby breaks down I found myself crying...It wasn’t unusual for me to cry at this scene hell Mom and I together would break down at all the sappy moments in the film, but since I was watching this with Inuyasha I really tried to keep the tears and gush down to a very low minimum. As the tears made their way down my face I became aware that Inuyasha was looking down at me. When I met his gaze he put his thumb and finger on my chin and with his other hand he wiped away the tears that were falling.

Inuyasha’s eyes looked softer and I saw that same innocent face from when he was stabbed. I slowly reached up and put out my index and touched his dog ear when it twitched I withdrew by surprise, but then Inuyasha held my hand and placed it back on his ear. My lips parted and I raised my head, but before our lips touched there came a rampant knocking at the door.

I regressed my head and Inuyasha let go of my hand and went to go answer the door. Wow...Inuyasha almost...I almost...what the hell Kagome get a grip, you can’t like Inuyasha. My thoughts along with the moment was disrupted when Inuyasha opened the door.

“Who the hell are you!” Inuyasha yelled.

“Oh, well I was...I’m sorry I disturbed you.” The voice said it took me a second to recall who the stranger sounded like and as I walked closer to the door I saw that it was Sango.

“Sango?” I said coming up behind Inuyasha.

“Wait you know this woman?” Inuyasha asked looking back at me.

“Well yeah she was the one who killed Hiten. Sango, I thought....” I was cut off by Miroku running down the stairs.

“Sango! You showed up after all! I knew you would return to me!” Miroku said before he stumbled on the bottom step and nearly fell on his face.

“You know on second thought maybe this was a bad idea.” Sango said turning back to go down the steps.

“Sango...don’t go please come in your all wet.” I said grabbing onto her arm. Sango let out a smile and came inside, her cat followed in behind her. We all sat down in the living room this time Inuyasha sat in the arm chair and I sat between Sango and Miroku while her cat curled up on the floor.

“You know I don’t know why I am here...my family came from a line of demon hunters it is the only thing I’ve ever known. It was when we were going after one named Naraku that Hiten was hired to come after us. First they killed my father and then they went after my younger brother, Kohaku. Everyone in the house was slaughtered. When I found my little brother they... left me half dead lying in my brothers blood.” As Sango finished her story I looked over at Inuyasha and he seemed miles away.

“What’s wrong Inuyasha?” I asked.

“Naraku...killed my father.” Inuyasha said leaving it at that he didn’t further the conversation at all except before he left the room he said that Sango could stay in what used to be the storage room which was the room right next to mine.

“Excuse me, Sango.” I said getting up. I looked over at Miroku and he was staring at the ground with the same distant look as Inuyasha it didn’t seem to even matter that I was leaving him and Sango alone.

I ran after Inuyasha and found him outside in the backyard in an area about three yards from the house which was hidden by trees and bushes. As I walked closer to him I saw that he was sitting by a grave stone. He had to have heard me coming, but yet he didn’t stir when I sat next to him.

“So...what happened?” I asked.

“Just forget it Kagome...” Inuyasha said looking the other way.

“Inuyasha...” I whispered, but Inuyasha seemed like he wasn’t even here. His gaze was far away looking at something that no longer existed. I put my fingers around his face just like he had done to me and as his gaze met my eyes I pushed my lips on his. Inuyasha was surprised, but then his eyes lowered and he put his arms around me and even after our lips let go I still remained in his arms. We sat by the grave with Inuyasha's arms around me for hours. We didn't say much, I just sat curled up to Inuyasha and looked up at the stars hoping that this moment would never end. I'm falling in love with Inuyasha...

In the depths of my mind I could hear a distant song playing ....
