Summary: What if the attempted kidnap had been successful...? [M/K]


Chapter One: Eyes on You


"Curse the man..." a young priest sighed to himself, wearily gazing at the shard of petrified
soul trapped between his fingertips. "An antique dealer taking advantage of a man of the cloth..." he
rubbed sorely at his shoulder with his gloved hand, careful not to let his only profit of the afternoon
slip through his fingers into the hot spring he was currently soaking in.

With no one else around to converse with, the lone monk Miroku continued his irritated
soliloquy with only the singing crickets as an audience.

"After all the trouble I went through to get the goods!" he said hotly, slumping back against
a convenient boulder, folding his arms beneath his head as a makeshift pillow. "My only profit is this
Shikon Jewel shard. Just my luck."

With another weary sigh, Miroku lifted the shard so that the subtle moonlight glinted off the
ragged edges, casting deceptive innocence upon a tainted object. It glowed a hazy purple between his
fingertips, barely pure enough for him to touch, a slight demon taint lingering on long after the battle
was complete. It would take several days for it to fade away completely...if it even faded at all.

"Whee!"

Miroku nearly dropped the shard into the spring as another person (at least, he ASSUMED it was
a person) made their presence known.

What's this? He thought. People...so far up in the mountains...?

Cursing his sixth sense for not warning him, Miroku flattened himself against the boulder so
as not to make himself noticed and peered around the edge to get a better view of his new
companion.

To the monks supreme astonishment, a young girl–a beautiful young girl, at that–was
standing, in all her naked glory, just a few feet away, unabashedly bathing in what she assumed to
be private quarters.

"A hot spring!" she cried with utter joy, splashing herself with the naturally heated water
that surrounded her. Her pert breasts–a good handful or two each–glistened with moisture and
bounced jovially with each movement. The skin he was privileged enough to catch a glimpse of was
flushed with heat making her glow a soft, healthy pink. She shone brightly through the heavy fog, a
welcoming beacon to the traveling monk in the adjoining pool who watched her hungrily from a
distance. Her entire body was visible to him from the smooth planes of her belly up.

Alas, all else was submerged in the spring.

"I'm so happy..." she cooed, dipping below the water to wet her wavy dark head before
bursting through the surface again, throwing her magnificent mane back over her shoulders with a
wet slap. Being so unobtrusively close in proximity, a few beads of water made their way to Miroku
to spray his face, though the monk hardly seemed to notice. A familiar tightening in his lower
regions kept his attention firmly held on the delightful little water nymph on display before him.

Still unknowing of her riveted audience, the girl leaned over (Miroku shuddered) the shore
to where her garments lay in a pile and withdrew a bottle of some unknown potion and a rag and
began to thoroughly cleanse herself with them. She squirted a small quantity of the potion onto the
rag and ran it over her body, making light scrubbing motions to effectively wash away the dirt and
grime that had accumulated on her skin.

She scrubbed at her neck first, working up a good lather to spread down her chest. The rag
swept over her collarbone and shoulders next, rubbing in vigorous circles to rinse away all the dirt of
the day. Once satisfied with her work there, she lowered the rag further down her body, paying
special devotion to each breast in turn, sweeping around each lump of tissue to clean the underside
as well as the top. She struggled with her back–finally succeeding as she grabbed one end of the
cloth in each hand and swiping it between her shoulder blades–and moved down to her belly.

She carefully wrapped the rag around one of her index fingers and inserted it into her belly
button, causing Miroku to bite back a groan of desire as naughty thoughts sprang to his mind. He
was pious, damnit, pious!

She made quick work of her abdomen, finding very few other crevices to deal with, and
proceeded to lift one of her legs out of the spring.

This time, Miroku couldn't hold back his moan of approval at the new view. From this
angle, he could just see a forbidden little nest of curls peeping out from between her legs...

She propped one of her feet up against the bank, which rose a bit from the spring itself, and
worked her way up from her ankle. She washed the inside of her legs first (wary of her more
sensitive flesh betwixt them) and then the outside. She repeated each action with it's partner and then
lowered them both back into the spring, suds flying up around her body in a halo of fluffy white
bubbles.

The girl lowered herself back into the spring (Miroku cursed and praised Buddha all at once)
with a low moan of pleasure. She dipped below the surface again for a few moments, allowing the
bubbles to drift to the surface before her, and then broke the surface again as her need for
oxygen overrode her desire for consumption. "Mmm...feels so good..." she sighed, leaning back
against her own boulder to soak. It was only then he noticed...

Eh?! He thought, eyes widening to their maximum potential as he spotted the jewel that dangled
precariously between her breasts. A Shikon Shard?! It's HUGE!

Disrupting him from his thoughts (which were, for a change, NOT focused on her breasts
which were so...um...good looking and...), the girl shouted over her bare shoulder "You better not to
peek, InuYasha!"

There was a derisive snort and a crude answer. "Don't worry. I'm NOT tempted."

If the "changes of life" were to be believed in, this newer voice was definitely of the male variety.
Curses, foiled!

There was an angry huff from the spring and a bit of splashing and Miroku was drawn back
to the matter at...erm...hand. Returning his gaze to the bathing girl, he could see that she was now
fully submerged up to her neck (Curses! Foiled yet AGAIN!) in the water, swimming through the
water with the ease of a swan. A beautiful swan. With smooth feathers. And breasts, yes, swans had
breasts...

Vowing to himself never to so much as look at another fowl again, Miroku slipped back
behind his rock as his sense of self preservation lost out against his rampaging male hormones. So
she had a male with her, did she? This would make things much more difficult...

He froze in his escape when a scream of fright rent the heavy air, effectively signaling two
other voices to jump into the mix.

"What is it?!" the first voice–the deep, masculine one he'd recognized from earlier–shouted
brashly, a tinge of worry evident in his undertones.

The second voiced seemed more vocal in its distress (though this one was not obviously
masculine or feminine) "Kagome!" it squealed.

Miroku was thrown back against the tree he had been seeking shelter behind as a rush of red
and white flew past him at unbelievable speed.

There was another scream emitted from the young damsel-in-distress, this time without so
much raw terror. Miroku turned and watched the events unfolding with much humor as the girl–in
one swift movement–clobbered her companion with a handy rock the size of a small boulder.

"I'm okay! Get outta here!" she insisted, turning to scold the offensive (and very lucky)
monkey who was tugging on a lock of her damp mane with a naughty grin on his withered little
primate face. "Shoo, shoo!"

The second voice–now identifiable as a young child–squealed with glee. "It's a monkey!"

Several more transactions took place between the three traveling companions–most of which
were along the lines of ‘sit,' ‘oof,' and ‘bitch.'–all quite vulgar.

"With some fellows, is she?" Miroku muttered with as much good humor as he could muster,
giving the taller one with the long hair a good once-over. Was he some sort of demon perhaps? Or
only half?

Whichever was the case, Miroku certainly couldn't leave such a fair maiden with a heathen
such as he. So it was settled. For the welfare of the girl and the teachings of the almighty Buddha, he
would rescue the fair lady (who was currently using some sort of magic against the ‘heathenous
demon' in question to pummel him into the ground) from this demon and whisk her away to much
safer company...such as himself.

Gathering his clothing, staff and various other bathing items, the priest withdrew from the
spring, casting not another glance in the direction of the girl and her companions. If he were to
"rescue" her from this foes villainous clutches, he would have some preparation to take care of.

"What a pity." he sighed to himself as he walked briskly away from the springs, a new
bounce in his step. "I do so hate to get rough..."

With a devious little grin of his own, Miroku began whistling his favorite drunken tune as he
walked, rosary beads jangling innocently against his staff with each step.


Authors Note: Simple plot, ne?

First off, I should note that I have NO idea where this story is going...not past the
kidnaping point, anyway. I figure I can shove in a few fluffy scenes and (if all goes well) some
steamy scenes which may or may not involve hot springs...I'm aiming for an excuse to write my first
(good) lemon!

Oh yes, and most of the dialogue (well, all of it, really...) was taken directly from the sixth manga of
the series, as well as the hot springs scene. I just added a bit of internal deliberation to the mix, a bit
of fancy elaboration and...tadaa! Instant "Spring of Drowned InuYasha Fanfiction!" (Effectiveness
may wear off in six to eight hours). I don't plan on using the manga dialogue/scenes for every
chapter (tho expect a bit in the next), I just want to spin it off as realistically as possible from the
series. Can't get much more dead on than that, can you?

And to all of you out there on my Mir/Kag yahoo group, I'm writing this b/c I'm frustrated at not
getting my turn quick enough...hehe
