InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Bargaining Death ❯ Distance ( Chapter 10 )

**an you know the drill…also I am really sorry about the delay I have been terribly busy with school work. But thanks for all the great reviews and patience

Distance

The two parted was a few days ago. Kagome was wondering whether or not Inuyasha was coming back to her. Miroku arrived a day prior and was already groping women. She liked having Miroku around he always added a bit of drama to the day and it is hysterical watching the women beat him to a pulp. He was a great help though and grandpa enjoyed his company by telling him fantastic stories that were said to be legend.

Kagome sat in a chair near the door with a book in her hands regaling her with the legend of the infamous Inuyasha. She could not get over the likeness the two had. She started to drift off into sleep.

~*~*~*~*~Dream Sequence

A white light surrounded her and as it faded she heard a loud barrage of voices each more taunting than the next. She was dressed in her miko robes in the middle of the forest. A man dressed in white with a fierce look on his face grabbed her roughly and drug her by her hair while she screamed in fierce pain. A man bound tightly on his hands and knees watched with obvious pain and hatred in his eyes. He wanted nothing more than to kill every one of these bastards but the wards on his hands were keeping him immobilized. When I get free I am going to kill that fucking monk. How dare he I saved his pathetic ass from Naraku.

Kagome was horrified her clothes were being ripped for her body as the man in white watched with an arrogant grin on his face. The bound man was struggling to free himself to no avail, but before the dream could progress any further a loud knock woke her from her painful slumber.

~*~*~*~*~*~ end of sequence

"I've really got to stop reading those stupid stories, next thing I know I'll start acting like grandpa."

She opened the door to find the object of her affection standing at the door. His appearance was a bit disheveled but she didn't care. "Where did you go? I was worried?"

"I had a few errands to take care of that's all. I am here now and that's all that matters. Where's your grandfather?"

"He's out with Miroku why?"

"Who's Miroku? Did I get replaced while I was gone?"

"Miroku is my friend and nothing more. They are both in the yard."

Inuyasha walked to the back of the shrine searching for the old man. His little vacation might be cut short if Kagome figures out who he is, rather what he is. As he walked out the back door a face that he would never forget was standing watching him. That monk. That monk is what kept him from saving Kikyo. A growl rose in his throat as the monk walked close to him and extended his hand in a sign of friendship. "Hi you must be Inuyasha; Kagome has told me much about you."

A look of disgust crossed Inuyasha's face. How is one to be cordial to the person who helped place him in this particular lifestyle? "Monk I presume?"

"Yes a great monk and with any luck Kagome will marry him and stop seeking interest in the likes of you", snapped Grandpa. It was not a secret that Grandpa wanted Kagome and Miroku to marry and bear many children, but the two grew up together. They viewed each other as siblings rather than potential marriage partners.

"Oh grandpa, you know that Kagome and I don't have those feeling for each other. Rather I am seeking the company of many ladies."

"So you are a letch then? Lovely, so have you had your penicillin shot lately, because you know syphilis can kill?"

"I am just a humble monk and don't understand what you mean?"

"Keh, whatever. I'm going to my room."

"Inuyasha wait up I would like to speak with you."

"I have nothing to say to you." Inuyasha's face began to color his temper was rising at an exponential rate.

"Yes I do it is in regards to Kagome-sama."

Inuyasha turned to the monk who was standing only a few inches from him with eyes tinted red. "Look monk I have nothing to say to you, unless you wish to repeat what your namesake did."

Miroku stood with fear and confusion in his eyes. What my namesake did?

**look I know its short ill try to add more soon. thanks
