Chapter 2: Ai

Miroku groaned as shapes and colour began to form before his eyes. Then Hazy swirls, before slowly coming together to make a picture. Miroku sat up groggily, rubbing at his head. He looked to see that he was back within his room, what happened once he blacked out?

Miroku turned to see Sango sitting in a far corner, a murderous expression upon her face. He gulped and began to sweat. `Oh man, what did I do this time? I don't even remember!'

“I see you have awaken young monk. I apologize, my granddaughter had mistaken you for `Temptation' when she saw you in clear view of her bathing.” Miroku turned to the old man, and saw a young maiden sitting beside him. She had long ebony hair, flowing down and catching the floor in her kneeling position. Her eyes were a smooth chocolaty brown that could easily melt you. She wore a simple blue kimono with a pale blue outlining and obi.

“I apologize for my outburst dear monk; though I was quite startled by your sudden appearance to my bathing.” Miroku took no haste to scooting over to her side. He bowed down, placing forehead against the floor. “No, It is I who should be apologizing. My behaviour was wrong, whether or not I was looking out for the demon.” He looked up to the princess, playing on a charming face. “I hope you have the heart to forgive me.” He took her hand and laid a delicate kiss, causing her to blush.

“May I ask the name of my fair maiden?”

“E-e-Emi,” she stammered, her face turning red as a tomato.

Sango angrily watched as Miroku scooted over to Emi's side and placed one arm around her waist, and another to hold her cheek. `WHAT DOES HE THINK HE'S DOING?' She flared up instantly, fire burning in her eyes. Sensing her mistresses' anger, which was GREAT Kirara slowly backed away from fear.

“I promise you, that as long as I am here, I will not allow that demon near you. I shall protect your virginity.”

“Hontou?” asked Emi while clapping her hands together.

“Oh! Domo arigatou gozaimasu houshi-sama!” She moved from Miroku's grasp and bowed deeply coming up with tears in her eyes. “Thankyou so much,” she whispered as she rose from her spot.

“Come now! I must make sure you are familiarized with this inn, so it will be easier for navigation if we were ever to come under an attack” She pulled Miroku up by the hadn, and he happily compiled. Together they walked out of the room, hand in hand. Akira was chuckling behind them, and Kirara had ran out with them for the intense fear of her mistress who looked as if she were prepared to mass murder everybody in the building.

`Why that... Always womanizing! He calls himself a monk? I should really... Always thinking of other woman! And what about me? You fair companion? Does battle dull my femininity? It certinately does not!' Sango sighed, casting her look down to the rice mat walls. `Why do I even bother? It's not like I love him...Or that he really loves me or anything...' She found a hot tear trickle down her cheek, and Sango hastily wiped it away, scolding herself for thinking nonsense. `For the both of us to have feelings for each other... How absurd!'

`SANGO!'

Sango perked up at the sound of her name being called. She could easily sense a large demonic energy coming from outside. She got up, grabbing her Hiraikostu, and made her way outside of the inn, where she saw Miroku standing before Emi was a figure in a black cloak, with glowing red eyes...

The figure in black turned to meet them, throwing off his hood. Emi gasped, her face flushing red as she saw whom she thought to be the most handsome man she had ever seen.

He had a kind smile and earthy green eyes. His hair was a dark colour coming out in a little pony tail, quite similar to Miroku's but in a more dark green shade.

“Fair maiden, I have journeyed long and far, looking for the perfect woman to spend the rest of my life with, and I have found that perfect person to be you. Will you please come and join me, come and be with me?” his voice was gentle, like a whisper in the wind, and he seemed to look like an honest man, but Emi knew all too well from the stories she had heard. She quickly shook her head, taking some steps back.

“Do not think you can deceive us demon, for we know that you are `Temptation'!” Miroku threw one of his exorcism scrolls at the demon, but he merely pierced it with his arrow. “I ask again, would you not be the person that I may spend the rest of my life with?” Emi shook her head, taking some more alarmed steps back, she screamed as he appeared before her, grabbing her arm. Emi struggled, but looking up, she soon found herself lulled. “Yes,” she mouthed and she froze in place.

He heard a swishing sound, and jumped back as a large bone boomerang whizzed by.

“You aren't getting anybody today demon!” He turned to look to the voice, and in seeing Sango he froze. “Ai?” he whispered to himself.

Sango hefted up the large demon bone and threw it once more. “Hiraikotsu!”

He rushed past the bone, taking time for it to return to its master, before he pushed Sango down, pinning her by the shoulders. Sango struggled but to no avail. She looked back up to see that the face had changed. His eyes were now a dark midnight blue, holding a pained expression. His hair was quite like Miroku's except with many more bangs affront. His face was bright, and two tears dropped down and splashed upon Sango's cheek. `What the-`

She looked up at his confused expression. He looked like he was in so much pain... But what reason would a demon be so? “Ai” he whispered. Sango grimaced. `Nope, he's just a sex crazed demon.'

“Dear Ai, my Ai is that really you? Have you come back?”

“What?” breathed Sango, getting more confused at the situation. What was worse, was that his face was pulling in. “Miroku! Miroku!” she shouted. “Miroku help me out here!”

From the corner of her eye, she could see that Miroku was too busy helping Emi into the inn than to help her... She was stunned for words. Miroku was always there to help her no matter what... But he's too busy womanizing and gaining favours to bother to help.

Sango shut her eyes to close out the tears, and felt a hand brush them away. `What was that?' She felt herself lifted off into a warm embrace, from the sane `Temptation.'

“Why do you cry?”

Sango growled. “'Cause I feel I've been abandon, now I'm pissed as hell so you better back off!”: (A/N: My my my, taking on Inuyasha's foul mouth ne? )

“KIRARA!” The firecat was instantly at her mistresses side, attacking. Temptation pulled away as Sango jumped back, clasping her boomerang. “Don't think you can fool me! I'm done with men!” She yanked off her weapon once more.

`Is that truly you Ai? You've changed in so many ways, and yet...You've managed to stay the same...' He jumped the attack as he thought. `Well, at the same time, you did break my heart...' He growled, reverting his features to his old figure and landed upon the ground. Temptation smiled as Emi mindlessly wandered back out- one look into his eyes, and he could make any woman fall for him.

“No! Lady Emi!” Miroku shouted as he tried to pull her back. Sango suppressed a growl, as she looked to Temptation once more. “I'm not your `ai' neither am I this `Ai' person you talk off...I am here to hunt you down!” She slipped out her katana and charged. Temptation smiled, everything seemed perfect.

The monk had rushed to the middle, and he had both women on either sides. He rose up, and let to earthy arms reach out from under his cloak. On reaching for Sango, and the other for Emi. (A/N: You know, like Naraku's earthy octopus arm thingys)

“EMI!” Miroku reached to the girl, pushing her out of harms way along with him. She hit the ground hard, and blacked out.

Sango stood stunned, and was unable tomove, if it weren't for Kirara, she would've gotten hit. Temptation looked to his target that was comforted by a human male, and then to his sweet `Ai' Deciding to come for the easier target (Sango since she has no-one) he left.

Her last thoughts were of Miroku- saving Emi when her world went black. The same voice then echoed in her thoughts. “Don't worry, I'll come back for you Ai”...
