InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Slave to No One ❯ Chapter 6 ( Chapter 6 )

Chapter 6

 

Miroku had left Inutaisho office to go find his youngest son. He needed to take two of his best men with him for this journey. He wanted two men that could easily adapt to the human world and he had just the right two in mind. They were both Inu youkai and their noses will come in handy when it was time to track Inutaisho son.

 

They have traveled with him on some of his visits to the human world and he could trust them to cover his back if things got out of hand. He went looking for of his friends that would accompany him on his journey.

 

After searching for his companions all over the castle he finally found them in the field training.

 

Shawn was trying to teach Mike how to fight with his fists.

 

Shawn wasn't the tallest of demons maybe standing five foot eleven. He was very well built for his height, his handsome face and dark brown eyes and pointed ears on the side of his head gave you the appearance that he was a hard ass, but in actuality he was a very sweet puppy underneath all those rippling muscles that lay beneath his clothing. His light brown hair that was always tied back in a low ponytail gave him a mysterious quality.

 

Shawn was an expert fighter through he tended to be a little selfish when it came to telling his friends where he would be in case they needed him. He would sometimes go off on his own not telling anyone where he was going so they could check from time to time to see if he was all right.

 

On several occasion Miroku had to go looking for him and when Shawn didn't want to be found there was no way they could find him.

 

Mike on the other hand was a different story. Mike was maybe a couple inches taller than Shawn, his boyish face and baby blue eyes made all the female youkai in their town turn and look. Not very well built, but not under built, Mike was sometimes sickly looking. Suffering from a disease since he was a pup, he would sometimes have his good days and his bad.

 

Mike was a good fighter but he was not as strong as Shawn. At times he acted almost wimpy never wanting to fight but when pushed he was an excellent fighter if he got mad enough.

 

But something about him still bothered Miroku. Mike never showed any interest in females but put him in an area where there were only males and he went wild. Miroku still couldn't understand why he was so fascinated with males but as long as he stayed away from him he was all right with it.

 

Miroku had no interest in males, he was strictly interested in females and this one female that he had meet sometime ago had captured his heart. He wanted so badly to tell her what he was but he knew that if she ever found out that he was a demon then she might kill him outright.

 

Sango had a bad experience with demons in the past. They used to own some and then one day one of the slaves turned on her family and killed her mother and father.

 

Sango had been forced to grow up way too soon in order to take care of her younger brother. He understood her feeling but at the same time he felt that she shouldn't put all demons in the same category as the rest. They were all different especially the one's that were still roaming free.

 

As he approached his two friends he thought, `these two have picked up enough of the human customs to help me find Inutaisho son. We must to go into new areas that we have never been to before and these two will help me in that task.'

 

When he was within earshot of his two friends he said, “Shawn! Mike! I need your help!”

 

Mike and Shawn stopped what they were doing when they heard Miroku call out to them. He had a serious look on his face that always meant that there was trouble and they had to go deal with it.

 

Miroku stopped in front of his friends and said, “Guys, we have to go out into the human world. The slavers have taken Inutaisho son and we have to locate him before they turn him into a slave. Inutaisho is worried about his safety and if he is hurt in any way then I know his lord will not hesitate to wage war on the humans.”

 

Shawn and Mike looked at each other in shock they didn't know that Inutaisho son was missing and that he was taken by slavers.

 

Shawn was thinking very rapidly as he said, “Do we know where they might've taken him to?”

 

Miroku shook his head, as he said, “No, we have no idea which facility they might've taken him to. We would have to check every single one in the area to see if we can find him.”

 

This didn't sit well with Shawn or Mike there were hundreds of these facilities in the area that they would have to check. Shawn was again in deep thought, then he said, “Well, if we don't know where they have taken him to then we can start ruling out the facilities that they wouldn't take him to.

 

We know for a fact that he will be a very difficult person to break so we can rule out all of the facilities that are not equipped to do this. I know of about 10 facilities in the area that can possibly break him. We can start with the closet one and if we don't find him there then we will continue to look until we do.”

 

Miroku considered Shawn's ideas and he liked them. Then Mike jumped in with something else that he was thinking about. “O.K. if we are going to go to the processing facilities to go demon hunting then we are going to need some money in order to purchase him. Our money is no good in the human world so we would have to get some human currency. We will need clothes that would indicate we are businessmen on a hunt for only a certain kind of demon for our employer and we have to look the part.”

 

Miroku was amazed in a matter of minutes these two have already had a plan of attack and a list a mile long of the things they would need in order to complete their mission.

 

Miroku sighed as he said, “Alright I'll get all of the necessary items for this mission. I'm sure that Lord Inutaisho will give us everything we need in order to find his son. We will meet back here tomorrow morning at dawn and then we can set out to find him.”

 

All of them agreed to the plan as Miroku left the area to go and get the necessary items that they had requested. Shawn and Mike stayed behind in order to keep practicing. At one point he heard Mike cry out in pain as he heard Shawn laughing his ass off for hurting his friend.

 

Miroku shook his head, “those two will be the death of me yet.”

 

~oOo~

 

Miroku arrived at the field at dawn with the needed items for the trip to the human world.

 

Shawn and Mike eyed Miroku with interest, he was wearing black and purple robes that signified he was a monk and by the looks of things they thought he had similar clothing for them. He was carrying his staff that meant he was serious about finding Inutaisho son. He never took his staff unless they were heading for danger and being that close to the processing facilities was dangerous enough in there minds, it sent a shiver up their spine just thinking about it.

 

Miroku stopped in front of them and said, “I have chosen monks clothes because I will be able to travel easier in them plus they won't question a monk in search of a certain kind of demon for their employer. I have for both of you casual wear and a couple of business suits for when we go into the processing facility. Mike I want you to do the talking since you seemed to be more knowledgeable of the business aspects of the human world. Shawn you will be his partner and I will be the one to control the demon once we find him.”

 

They all agreed to the plan as they got dressed and then headed towards the nearest processing facility.

 

~oOo~

 

The weeks passed and they still didn't find Inutaisho son. They have been to 5 processing facilities and they were getting frustrated.

 

Miroku's concealment spell hid Shawn's and Mike's demon features very well. They each had a ring that they wore to conceal their demon features. It had taken them only one visit to a processing facility to figure out what they needed to ask and how to manipulate the humans into showing them their facilities.

 

But they still needed to find the right facility that held what they were looking for. They were now heading towards the big city. Shawn knew of a facility there that was known to `break the unbreakable demons' and if they had to guess this was the place they would've brought Inutaisho son.

 

They were now standing outside the facility as they gathered their courage to enter. This was by far the biggest facility they had visited and the scariest. Miroku turned to his companions and said, “Are you ready for this?”

 

Shawn and Mike looked at each other and nodded their agreement that they were ready.

 

They all turned and started to head towards the building that stood in front of them hoping to find Inuyasha.

 

~oOo~

 

Kusco was pacing back and forth in Naraku's office. She was frustrated; everything they had tried had failed to bring the hanyou back to the processing facility. She wanted her toy back; she wanted him so much that it hurt just to think about him. He belonged to her and that bitch had no right to buy him. She still couldn't forgive Naraku for selling her toy.

 

As Kusco continued her pacing she thought, `I'm letting my personal feelings get in the way of my work and this isn't good. If Naraku gets mad then he will never bring back my toy.' She quit her pacing and sat down to face Naraku.

 

She eyed him out of the corner of her eye and said, “What are we going to do now? The slavers failed to bring the hanyou back here. They have gotten themselves thrown in jail for attempting to take him from the girls home.”

 

Naraku looked at Kusco as she was talking and said, “Well, we got very lucky on that one. If the police had heard the confession of those idiots on tape then we would be there with them. Good thing I have people working every where, they stepped in and erased the tape before anyone could hear it.”

 

Kusco visibly relaxed as she continued, “Then that assassin you hired failed at his job. He almost killed the hanyou. That poison that he laced his bullets with would've killed the girl but it left the hanyou in bad shape. He might still die from his injuries all because he wanted to save that stupid bitch.”

 

“Now, now Kusco, you can't be calling all of our good paying customers bitches. She had every right to buy him especially when she paid so much money for him. I wouldn't mind selling her a couple more youkai if she would pay that well for them.” Naraku had his eyes closed as he remembered all of the money he had gotten for the hanyou. He was worth his weight in gold.

 

He opened his eyes and said, “But unfortunately with the girl still alive we can't bring him back here. The subduing necklace has already accepted the girl as its new owner and with her still alive we won't be able to subdue him. We need her dead if we want the hanyou back.” Said Naraku as he placed his hands together in front of him eyeing Kusco with interest.

 

He knew that she wanted to have the hanyou as her new sex toy but he had denied her that luxury. She was having too many toys lately and if she continued he wouldn't be able to sell any more demons. That's why he was up on the sixth floor that day. He knew that Kusco wouldn't get him if they wanted to buy any of her toys. He had to protect his business.

 

Just then the intercom buzzed in the office and Naraku answered, “Naraku here, what is it?”

 

The receptionist on the other end said, “Um, Mr. Naraku I have several gentlemen here that are interested in buying hanyou's. They say that their employer collects them and that he has sent them out looking for any and all available hanyou.”

 

Now this little bit of news interested him very much, he had to see what they wanted the hanyou's for. He then said, “Could you please escort them to my office I will speak to them.”

 

The receptionist said, “Yes sir.”

 

About two minutes later he heard a gentle knock on the door as it opened and the three men were escorted into his office. One was a monk and the other two were very distinguished looking businessmen.

 

As the three men walked into the office the one with almost no hair said, “Hello my name is Mike and I have come on behalf of my employer who is seeking to buy hanyou's. He is willing to pay top price for them if they are in good shape.”

 

Naraku smiled wide as he shook the man's hand and said, “Please have a seat, we don't have any hanyou's in the facility at the moment but we are in the process of negotiating to buy some. What kind are you looking for?”

 

Mike heard what the man had said and chose his words very carefully. “He is seeking Inu hanyou. He already has some and he likes the way they work so he is looking for more to be laborers.”

 

Naraku liked this person. If he got the hanyou back then he could get twice the amount of money that he had originally gotten for him and then he would add on what he had paid those fools who were sitting in jail and the amount he had paid the assassin to get rid of the girl. `Yes, this could be a very good business proposition for me.'

 

Naraku then said, “You're in luck, the hanyou that I'm in negotiations for is a Inu hanyou maybe once I have procured him I can contact you and you can come and see him.” He said with a smile on his face.

 

The three men stood up as Mike offered his hand and said, “That would be wonderful. You can contact us at this number.” He handed Naraku a card with his number written on it and then said, “I will look forward to hearing from you.”

 

Once the three men had left the office and Kusco was sure they were out of earshot she yelled, “How can you sell the hanyou before we even get him back here!!”

 

Naraku just looked at Kusco and said, “I haven't sold him yet. I have a potential buyer for him that's all.”

 

Kusco was fuming she wanted to have the hanyou all for herself but it was proving to be a difficult task then she said, “Then how do we get him here? Everything we have tried hasn't worked so far, so how do you suppose we get him back?”

 

Naraku smiled and said, “I guess we have to go visit our wolf friends in the forest and ask for their assistance. If they can take care of the girl then we can get our hands on the hanyou its that simple.”

 

Kusco smiled, she knew that the wolf demons would do anything as long as they kept the slavers from capturing any more of their wolves. Then she said, “Alright I'll go and pay them a visit and tell them what we need. I'll tell him that he is free to do whatever he wants to with the girl as long as he leaves the hanyou alone.”

 

Naraku smiled as he agreed with her plan. They were going to get the hanyou back and as soon as he had him he would sell him to these fools who would probably pay just about anything for him.

 

Kusco left the office to go see the wolf demons in the forest with their request.

 

~oOo~

 

Miroku, Mike, and Shaw had made it to the outside of the processing facility. They where making their way towards the wooded area near the facility so they could talk. When they thought it was safe Shawn was the first to speak, “Miroku, they know where he is I heard them talking as we left their office.”

 

Miroku looked shocked he didn't hear a thing but then again he wasn't an Inu youkai with sensitive hearing either. Then he said, “What did you hear them say?”

 

Shawn took a deep breath and then told him everything they had said. Mike confirmed his story and now they had a bigger problem. If what Shawn heard is true then there is a young girl in danger. They would have to find him before these wolf demons got into the picture.

 

Miroku was in deep thought as he said, “Did you happen to hear who the girl was or where she might live?”

 

Both Mike and Shawn shook their heads no. Then Shawn came up with a plan. “I can follow this woman named Kusco to the wolf pack and see if I can learn the girls name from her. She would have to tell them her name if they are to capture her.”

 

Miroku liked this idea but hated sending Shawn out on his own. He knew he could be reckless at times but he was the best one out of all three of them to follow this woman. Miroku sighed and said, “Alright you can follow her but you're not to engage the enemy, you are to come back here to the hotel and tell us what is going on.”

 

Shawn agreed to Miroku's conditions and turned as he sniffed the air and said, “That wench is leaving, I have to go if I'm going to follow her to this wolf pack.”

 

Miroku nodded his understanding of the situation as he saw Shawn leave and head due north following that woman that was in Naraku office.

 

Miroku turned to Mike and said, “Come on Mike, let's go back to the hotel and wait for Shawn. Hopefully he won't be gone for very long.” They both left the area heading back to the hotel where they would live for the next couple of days. Hoping that it won't take their friend long to find out the information they needed.

 

~oOo~

 

Kusco had been driving north for about an hour. She was nearing her destination as she pulled her car into a secluded part of the forest and got out. She went into the forest looking for the wolf demons that lived somewhere deep in this area.

 

She walked for about 5 miles when she spotted the scouting party for the wolf demons. When they had her surrounded she said, “Take me to Kouga I have business with him.”

 

The wolves that had her surrounded recognized her from before as they escorted her to the leader of their pack.

 

They walked for about another 3 miles until they reached a waterfall that was the home of the wolf demons. The guards in front of the waterfall saw the group approaching the main pack and called for Kouga to come out.

 

Kouga stepped out of the cave that was hidden behind the waterfall to await the arrival of the stranger that wanted to see him. When his scouting party got closer he got the scent of the person with them. He winched as he remembered whom scent that belonged to as he waited for her to come nearer.

 

Kusco continued to walk straight up to Kouga even after the wolves that were escorting her stopped short of the cave entrance. She made it to where he was and said, “Kouga, it has been a while since we have last talked.”

 

Kouga just eyed her and said, “What do you want bitch? When ever you show up it means that you want us to do something for you, so lets cut out the pleasantries and just tell me why you're here.”

 

Kusco smiled and said, “Oh, you're going to like this little task. All I want you to do is get rid of a certain girl for us that's all.”

 

Kouga eyed her not fully believing what she was saying because every time she came here he would lose a few of his men in the task that she wanted him to do. He knew that in order to keep his pack safe from the slavers he had to agree to whatever her request was, so he sighed and said, “Is that all we have to do? Or is there anything else you're not telling us?”

 

Kusco smiled as she thought `he really doesn't trust me. Well I can't say that I blame him, since every time I show up he loses men. But this task should be simple enough for him.'

 

Then she turned her attention back to Kouga and said, “No this is all I want. You are to get rid of a girl named Kagome. She lives about 30 miles from here in the protected lands. You can do whatever you want to her, I don't care. But there's a hanyou with her and you're not to touch him at all, you're to leave him to me. Here is a picture of the girl that you are to get rid of.”

 

Kusco handed him a picture of Kagome and when Kouga looked at the picture his heart started to race. She was very beautiful, but he seemed to know this wench from somewhere, he just couldn't place where he had seen her before.

 

Kouga looked up from the picture he was holding and asked, “I can do anything I want to her?”

 

Kusco smiled and said, “anything you want as long as you kill her in the end. I need her dead and that's all you need to know.”

 

Kouga eyed her very apprehensively, `why would she want the girl dead? Unless she has the power over the necklace that the hanyou is wearing and in order for them to subdue him they need the girl dead.' So now her plan was starting to make sense as he continued to eye Kusco with disgust.

 

Kouga sighed as he said, “I have to plan for this attack. I will contact you when we are ready to move so you can move in and get the hanyou.”

 

Kusco smiled as she turned to leave the wolves camp. She headed back in the same direction she had traveled to get back to her car. A few of the wolf demons followed her, one to make sure she would be safe and two to make sure that she left the area.

 

Kouga stood there and watched as that bitch left the area then two of his men walked up to him and said, “Kouga are we going to go after this bitch and kill her?”

 

Kouga smiled and said, “Oh, we'll go and get this girl, but she interest me, so I might make her my woman. She is very pretty and I have seen her before but I don't remember where I have met her.”

 

Kouga's men were in shock to hear him say this. Wolf demons never mated with humans. They hated hanyou's so to mate with a human meant that the pups would be killed once they were born but he still wanted to make this wench his woman.

 

His men never questioned their leader decision. They just followed orders and if he wanted to make her his woman then no one was going to stop him.

 

~oOo~

 

Shawn had been following Kusco since she had left the processing facility. He spotted her car and saw what it looked like. He was running and jumping from building to building making sure no one saw him as he saw her pull off the road and head into the forest.

 

Shawn followed from high in the trees. In this way he could see where she was going and if she met anyone in the forest they wouldn't be able to pick up on his scent. His thinking proved to be correct when she met a group from the wolf demon pack and asked to be taken to their leader.

 

He followed as the group came upon a waterfall and Shawn stopped on a tree branch to listen to what they were talking about. He listened to everything they had said and then everything Kouga had said once Kusco had left the area.

 

`So this Kouga guy wants to make the girl his woman. He is going to go against Kusco on this and it will only bring them nothing but trouble.' Thought Shawn as he continued to listen to the wolves until they went inside the cave that was hidden behind the waterfall.

 

Shawn then turned and left the area making sure no one saw him in the area spying. `I have to get back to the others as soon as possible this Kagome girl is in a lot of trouble and she doesn't even know it yet.'

 

Shawn raced back to the hotel to where his friends were waiting for him to return. He just hoped that they could come up with a plan that will prevent anything from happening to the girl.

 

~oOo~

 

Miroku was pacing the floor of the hotel room. It has been more than two hours since Shawn had left the group and he still wasn't back. Miroku was getting worried that something might've happened to him. He was afraid that he was hurt somewhere and they didn't know where he was.

 

Mike watched Miroku pace back and forth in the room. He was getting tired of watching him pace as he was wearing out the carpet from his continuous nervous habit.

 

Mike couldn't stand it any more and then said, “Miroku! Will you quit pacing! You're driving me crazy!”

 

Miroku looked up from the ground as he stared at Mike. Then he thought, `this must've been the same thing Lord Inutaisho was going through when he found out his son was missing.' Miroku sighed as he went to sit down in a chair.

 

Miroku's nervous habit started again with him drumming his fingers against the table as Mike was forced to listen to the, “rat tat tat tat, rat tat tat tat.”

 

Mike had enough of the noise that Miroku was making and he pounced on him. He pulled Miroku from the chair and threw him on the ground as he landed on top of him straddling his waist.

 

His hands grabbed a fist full of fabric at the shoulder and he was pulling Miroku towards him, as their faces were almost touching each other's noses. Then he growled in a deep and menacing voice, “If you don't quit making all of that damn noise I am going to thrash you.”

 

At that moment Shawn walked into the room and saw Mike on top of Miroku and he said in a very amused voice, “Oh, am I interrupting anything? I can go and come back, in let's say about an hour, so you two can have some time alone.”

 

Miroku became enraged as he pushed Mike off him and stood to meet Shawn's gaze and he said, “It's not what you think!!!! We weren't doing anything like that.”

 

Shawn just smiled and said, “Sure you weren't.” As he walked into the room still sweating from the run he had to make to come back to the hotel.

 

They all looked at Shawn waiting for him to tell them what he had found out.

 

Miroku was on his last nerves as he said, “Shawn! Will you tell us what you found out!”

 

Shawn smiled as he proceeded to tell them everything he had heard. Miroku and Mike listened closely to everything he said then Miroku said, “Well at least we now know who she is and that she lives in the protected lands now we have to find her.” Everyone nodded their head agreeing with his statement.

 

Miroku then got an idea as he stood and went over to the phone. He pulled out apiece of paper, with a number written on it, out of his robes and dialed it.

 

Shawn and Mike looked on with curiosity as Miroku began to talk to the person on the other end. “Sango my sweet how have you been? It's been a while since I have seen you. I'm in town on some business and thought I might stop by and see you if your not too busy.”

 

Mike and Shawn had no idea who this Sango was but they had a hunch that it was a female that Miroku was interested in. Then they heard him say; “Great! I will see you in about half an hour. Until then my sweet.”

 

Miroku hung up the phone and turned to see four very inquiring eyes looking at him. He sighed and said, “She's a human female that I'm very fond of and I thought that maybe she might know this Kagome person that we are looking for or maybe she has heard something about the hanyou that is with her.”

 

Shawn and Mike both smirked and then Mike said, “Sure Miroku and we will see you in the morning.” Then both Mike and Shawn started to laugh, they laughed so hard that they fell out of the chairs they were sitting in as they were holding their sides to keep from busting a gut.

 

Miroku eyed them both as he huffed and walked out of the room to go meet Sango. As he was walking away he could still hear his friends laughing and this irritated him to no end, `I'm going to kill those two one of these days.'

 

~oOo~

 

Miroku met Sango in a little restaurant not too far away from the hotel he was staying in. He had to use his concealment ring to hide his robes from her and make him look more normal. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans with a white muscle shirt and a blue button down shirt over it and tennis shoes. At least he felt comfortable.

 

Sango arrived on time as he had ordered a pizza for them to have. Sango approached her friend and then kissed him as she said, “Well this is a nice surprise I didn't expect to see you this soon.”

 

Miroku gave her one of his trademark smiles and said, “You know that anytime I'm in town I always come to see you.” His statement caused Sango to blush bright red as they began to eat their food.

 

After they had finished they were engaged in some meaningless conversation as he asked, “So Sango, anything interesting happened to you lately?” It was one of the rhetorical questions that he would ask her and he was very surprised by the answer he got from the girl.

 

“Oh, Miroku, you're never going to believe what happened to me. I was in the mall with my friend Kagome and we came under fire from an unknown assailant. Her slave, Inuyasha, jumped right in front of her and took a shot to the shoulder as he was protecting her from getting hurt. It was the most terrifying thing I have ever been through.” Said a very distraught Sango.

 

Miroku just about choked on his drink when he heard the name of the girl he was searching for and then about shit his pants when he was told that her slave was named Inuyasha. He tried to gather his thoughts and very carefully chose his words when speaking to Sango.

 

“You weren't hurt were you?” asked a very concerned Miroku.

 

Sango just smiled and said, “No I wasn't hurt he protected both of us from getting hurt. I have to admit he is a cute one. I had no idea that demons would risk their own lives to save a human.”

 

Miroku looked relieved that she was not hurt and then asked, “Well how is this, what was his name Inuyasha? Is he doing to be all right or did something else happened to him?”

 

Sango looked at him funny but said, “No he's doing fine. I called Kagome and asked her how he was doing and she said that he has recovered from the wound fairly quickly. She said he is back to normal now.” Sango giggled as she continued, “He won't let her leave without him anymore. He says that he wants to protect her but my friend is dead against him getting hurt anymore.”

 

Miroku was please to learn that Inuyasha was all right and that the girl was protecting him. He had no idea who this girl was but it sounded like she cared for him. Miroku then smiled at Sango and said, “Well, she must have plenty of money if she was able to get a doctor to take care of him. I know that most doctors won't treat a demon.”

 

“He's a hanyou, not full blooded, and yes she does have money but she treated him herself. Kagome is a wonderful doctor and she treats everyone in need. She will be graduating from college in a few weeks which gives her the paper that says she can officially treat people in the eyes of the law but she has always done it.” Said Sango with pride about her friend's accomplishments.

 

Miroku smiled and said, “You're going to have to introduce me to this wonderful friend of yours. She sounds like a really nice person.”

 

Sango thought for a few minutes and said, “You can meet us at the university tomorrow, she's scheduled to go to school for exams, then I can introduce you.”

 

“I'm sorry Sango but I have a business meeting tomorrow maybe the next time I'm in town.” He said with genuine regret in his voice.

 

Sango looked sad but then said in a cheerful voice, “You can meet her at a formal dinner party her parents are hosting in a couple of weeks. You can be my date if you want.” Sango blushed even redder as she said this.

 

Miroku smiled and said, “I think I might be able to come back here in a few weeks time and escort you to this dinner of hers. Are her parents of high ranking?”

 

Sango smiled and said, “Well, yes they are. Her parents are the King and Queen of the Southern lands.”

 

Miroku must have paled because Sango became very concerned over the color his skin was turning into. `She is the daughter to the King of the Southern land? Oh Kami, I have to get Inuyasha out of there and soon. If his father ever finds out that he was a slave to the princess he will not waste anytime in attacking the humans here.'

 

Miroku looked up and then focused on what Sango was saying, “Miroku are you all right? You turned pale a few minutes ago like you were getting sick or something.”

 

Miroku shook his head and said, “No, I'm fine its just that I remembered that I have to go and finish my presentation for the meeting I have tomorrow and I don't want you to be out so late at night.”

 

Sango smiled at his concern as Miroku paid for their meal and he escorted her to her car and kissed her goodnight. Sango got in her car and drove home as Miroku turned and headed back to the hotel room to meet his friends. They weren't going to believe what he was about to tell to them.

 

~oOo~

 

“You've got to be kidding us?” Miroku was sitting in a chair in their hotel room as he finished telling his friends everything he found out about where Inuyasha had been for the last month or so.

 

Shawn and Mike couldn't believe that he was turned into a slave and that he was protecting the daughter to the King of the Southern lands. This will not sit well with Lord Inutaisho that his youngest son is a slave to the princess.

 

Miroku looked at his friends and said, “We can meet up with him tomorrow at the university. I'm sure he will be with the girl at the school since she has to go in and take final exams for her degree to be a doctor.”

 

Both Shawn and Mike looked at him and said together, “A doctor????”

 

Miroku smiled and said, “Yes, she's a healer and from what Sango has told me a very good one. She's only going to school to get a degree to let her practice and be legal with the law. She has been healing for a long time. She will treat anyone who needs help and she doesn't care if they're demons.”

 

This little bit of information changed Shawn and Mike's opinion of the girl. If she treated demons for injuries then she was not like the rest.

 

Miroku then said, “We better get some rest. Dealing with Inuyasha tomorrow is going to be a big headache and to make him leave the girl is going to be an even bigger challenge.”

 

Both Shawn and Mike agreed with his statement as they all settled down to rest.

 

Tomorrow was going to be a very interesting day.

 

~oOo~

 

That's another chapter. Now you know what Miroku, Mike, and Shawn have been up to in the past month and a half. I know I didn't put Inuyasha and Kagome in this chapter but they will come back in the next.

 

The stage has been set. What will Miroku and the others do? Will they be able to get Inuyasha away from Kagome? Well you are going to have to wait to see what happens.

 

Remember to leave me a review and tell me what you think.

 

Until the next chapter!

 

Ja ne!!
