Chapter 3: Mistakes
`Oh, Kami if you get me out of this `with' all my parts still intact, I promise I'll try not to eat anymore humans! I don't promise that I won't kill dog-turd, but I promise I'll take care of Kagome! Please somebody, anybody HELP!' He screamed in his head as he ventured to look down at the blade of Tetsusaiga that was now scraping the hairs on his man sacks. He couldn't remember the last time that he was actually afraid of anything, `I guess there's a first time for everything,' he thought, as a drop of sweat dripped into his eyes, stinging him.
“Inuyasha!” The monk yelled in a chastising manner as he backed away from the two of them. `Oh, Kami he's going to do it.'
“Shut the fuck up, or you'll be next!” The hanyou yelled back as he swiftly brought his legs up to connect with the back of Kouga's head, sending him flying into the trees behind him.
“What the fuck,” was all the wolf could say as he realized he was being hurled through the air. He hit something hard, then something else, and something else, “shit!” he said as he came to rest next to a fallen tree.
He slowly opened his eyes, instantly feeling himself to make sure everything was where it was suppose to be. 'That mutt must have kicked me when I wasn't looking,' he thought as he brought one of his legs up to his head and his head down to his crotch. A passer by would have thought that he was licking himself by the close proximity of his face to his nether regions.
`That son of a bitch! He won't get away with this shit!' The violated wolf thought as he squinted his eyes and focused in on a tiny red mark, “that bitch scratched me.” He whispered to no one in particular as he ran a finger over the already healing scratch.
“Hey baka…you still alive?” Inuyasha yelled now standing in the clearing where they had just fought. “Come out here so I can finish the job, will ya!” he continued smirking to himself.
“Go to hell!” Kouga yelled. After making sure that he was still a man, he got to his feet, and debated whether he should go out there and punch a hole in Inuyasha's head or if he should just leave and deal with him later, `damn I'm shaking, what the fuck! I'm not scared of him. Still revenge is best served cold,' he thought with a smirk as he took off in a gust of wind.
“Hey jerk off!” Kouga called as he came to a stop about 15 feet away from the waiting half demon.
“Gloat now mutt, but this ain't over! When you least expect it, I'm going to come back and ram my foot up your ass, then my whole pack is going to take turns stomping a mud hole in you!”
“Are you threatening me?” Inuyasha asked as he advanced in the demons direction.
“No bitch I'm promising you!” With that said, the prince of wolves was gone.
“I knew I should have killed his ass. What does Kagome call that…you know, when they cut the balls off of dogs?” Inuyasha inquired as he cringed slightly from just the thought.
“I think she said it's called neutering...or something like that.” Miroku replied as he came to stand next to the hanyou.
“Yeah that's it, new...turing. I should've done that to him, because he's not going to stop.” Sighing heavily, he continued as he sheathed his fang, “Hell, there's always next time.” Then turned and walked in the opposite direction.
“So why didn't you?”
“If you must know, I thought about Kagome. Even though I would rather see the flea bag dead, she would probably purify me if she knew I did something like that to him.”
“Well it's nice to see that you were thinking at least, because for a moment there I could've sworn that he was done for.”
“For a moment there he was.” The hanyou stated in a matter of fact tone.
Miroku glanced over at his friend, and for a moment he thought he saw a smile on the hanyou's face, but as fast as it came, it was gone. `I wonder what he's thinking about. We've been traveling together for years now, and still sometimes it feels as if I have know idea as to who he is. Can one person be this hard to read? Does it really even matter?' Dawning a thoughtful frown his thoughts continued, `I would rather have him as a friend then an enemy.' Staring ahead of them the Monk stated in a lazy almost saddened voice, “We should be there shortly?”
“Feh, you just have to find something to say don't you?”
Ignoring that question he blurted out, “So have you ever gone all the way.”
“Here we go with this shit again, damn! If I say `no' would you believe me?” Inuyasha answered as he stuck his arms into the sleeves of his haori and lowered his gaze to the ground.
With a look of surprise the monk asked, “So you haven't done it?”
Taking a deep breath the hanyou continued, “I didn't say that, I said would you believe me if I said `no'.
“So you have done it?”
“So, really it's none of your damn business, how about that!” Inuyasha snapped back.
“Well if it will make you feel any better, I haven't either.” Miroku stated rather nonchalantly.
Inuyasha didn't respond, but he did glance at his companion out the corner of his eye.
“I know I act like I'm well versed in that area, but I'm not.” Taking a deep breath and gazing towards the sky Miroku continued, “I don't know why I'm telling you this, but I've never gone past kissing or touching here and there, whenever it gets down to actually doing it…I always chicken out. I don't know why, but it always happens. Maybe there's a part of me that wants to wait for marriage, or maybe I've been so scared of passing my curse along for so long that now that I don't have it, it's just become some kind of routine.”
“Maybe you just haven't found the right one.” Inuyasha said just above a whisper.
Unable to believe that he actually got a response out of him he continued, “maybe your right, but I would sure like to experience it…just thinking about it gives me tingles…you know what I mean?”
“Nope,” Inuyasha said rather bluntly.
“Inuyasha you're a man, surely you have needs?”
“Of course I have needs, but I know how to control myself, which is something that you should try to learn and soon!”
“So, have you ever…” Was all that Miroku could get out before the hanyou interrupted him.
“Damn Bouzu, NO-I-HAVE-NOT, because when Inu-youkai mate, we mate for life! So `I' and the person `I' choose will have to be certain that it's something that we both want, because it can't be undone until one of us dies.” Still walking, but glaring at the monk he continued, “If you repeat this to anyone, I'll finish what I started on Kouga with you, got that!”
“Of course my friend, your secret is safe with me, but you must also promise me that you will do the same for me.” Miroku replied with a smile. He had to admit he did feel a lot closer to the hanyou after finding out that they had something like `this' in common.
“Keh”
As they approached the hill that overlooked the village they came to a stop. The village was alive and buzzing with women, men and children going about their chores, trying to get things done before the sun set. His eyes came to rest on the girl of his dreams, his home, running away from the direction of the well that connected her world to his. He smiled to himself thinking, `sneaky wench, I knew she would go home.'
Normally this thought would have irritated him to no end but today it didn't matter he just wanted to smell her, touch her, taste her, to hear her endless chatter about her day, and he would do his best not to tell her about his day and his run in with Kouga. That thought caused him to growl to himself, `next time, wolf shit, I will gut you. I promise'. As he started to descend down the hill, a hand stopped him.
“Uhm, Inuyasha?” The monk stated rather nervously.
Not even turning around to face him he stated impatiently, “what now?” As he watched the distance grow between him and his destiny.
“You're not going to tell Sango are you?”
“Tell Sango what!”
“About the girl…you know the one that sprained her ankle?” the monk explained, now looking a little more than pathetic and desperate.
“Oh that girl. Thanks for reminding me, Bouzu!” Inuyasha said as he smirked and sped off towards the village, `damn right I'm going to tell. After all the shit you put me through!'
Miroku watched his friend race towards the village, before his mind caught up with him and told him to find Sango fast and keep her away from the hanyou at all cost, if he wanted to live to see tomorrow.
“Damn!“ He said as he watched Kagome come to a stop in front of Lady Kaede's hut and saw Sango come out to greet her, he knew that Inuyasha was headed there.
“Hey Sango, are you done helping Kaede Oba-Chan?” Kagome asked as she came to a stop just outside the door of the old lady's hut, breathing a little heavy since she decided to jog from the clearing.
“Yeah we finished a little while ago, why?” The slayer inquired as she took a seat on one of the make shift stools that sat just outside the hut door.
“Something happened that I want to tell you about, in private before the guys get back.” Kagome replied with a grin.
“Okay, just give me a minute and we can go to the hot springs. Let me just take the pot off the fire for Kaede-sama.” Sango replied with a mischievous grin and a side glance.
“Well hurry up, they'll be here any minute, I can feel it.”
The slayer stopped just inside the door and turning to her friend, “Are you serious, you can feel Inuyasha before he gets here?” She stated her face set in an accusatory manner.
“Yeah, some days stronger than others…oh shut up and hurry!” Kagome said as she playfully pushed Sango inside the hut. Realizing just what her friend was getting at, she smiled to herself, `yeah, I can feel him'.
“Oi, where you off to in such a rush, wench?” Inuyasha said, as he walked up behind the anxious miko. He wanted to wrap his arms around her waist and pull her to him, but deciding against it.
Kagome spun around, and almost stumbled, “Inuyasha! Don't sneak up on me like that!”
Catching her, he gazed down and with a smirk said; “I thought you could feel me, before I got here?”
Feeling embarrassed that he heard their conversation she did the only thing she could do, she balled up her fist and playfully hit him in his chest, “Shut up, you shouldn't have been eaves dropping!”
“Yeah, yeah” he replied as he pulled her to his chest and smiled. “So where were you going in such a rush, and just where in the hell are you coming from?”
She didn't push away from him immediately, because she knew she was blushing and didn't want him to see that, “Well Sango and I were going to go to the hot spring.” Glancing up at him she asked, “What took you so long?” Her only intent was to change the subject, since she still wasn't sure whether she wanted to tell him about her altercation with Kikyo or not.
“Hey Inuyasha, it's about time you guys got back.” Sango said as she walked out the hut. “Where's Miroku?”
Just then the monk ran up, out of breath and panting for air. He grabbed the surprised taijiya and embraced her, “My...dear…sweet...Sango...did you...miss me?” between breaths.
“Houshi-sama, stop this!” Feeling overwhelmed and a little flustered she tried to pry herself away from him.
“But my love, I've missed you so much.” Miroku replied, as his hand started to roam down to her butt, massaging gently.
Sango could not believe he was doing this in front of their friends who were clearly watching the scene.
Being honest with herself she wouldn't have minded if they were behind doors, but this was not the time or the place, so she did the only thing she could. She reached back as far as she could and slapped him.
“Damn, monk I thought you had rubbed enough asses for one day!” Said Inuyasha who was now standing behind Kagome without realizing his hands were resting on her hips. He smirked, `just killed two birds with one stone. Surely Sango will want to find out what happened, therefore she'll stay here to talk to the lech, and I'll have Kagome all to myself.'
Miroku looked at the hanyou in disbelief, “you promised!” he said as he stepped out of slayers reach, whom at the moment glaring from Inuyasha to her supposed fiancée.
“Houshi-sama, what's going on? What's Inuyasha talking about?” Sango asked, as she crossed her arms over her chest and planted her feet into the ground, eyebrows drown together in a frown and lips pouting, she meant business.
“Darling, don't pay him any mind, he's joking…I mean lying?” Miroku tried to say in his defense.
“Don't darling me, you...you man whore! Inuyasha may be a lot of things, but he's not a liar! Now tell me what the hell is going on, and I want to know now!” The irate woman yelled as she grabbed the monk by the front of his robes and shoved him up against the side of the hut.
“Inuyasha, what happened?” Kagome whispered as she watched her best friend get ready to beat the day lights out of their lecherous friend.
The half demon chuckled, “just a pervert being a pervert.” Sub-consciously pulling her closer he whispered in her ear, “I'll tell you later, right now I'm hungry”.
Feeling his breath on her ear she looked down and realized just how close they were standing, “So I guess you missed me to, huh?” she said in a soft voice as her face turned beet red. Before he could respond or change their position she continued, “Come on lets go home so I can fix you something to eat.” Grabbing one of his hands she walked away headed for home, or rather his hut. “Sango we'll talk tomorrow, I see you have something you need to take care of!” she yelled over her shoulder.
Inuyasha followed her quietly, `Why did I miss her so, I was only gone a day, well not even a day, did I really act like that in front of Sango and Miroku? Shit the monk isn't going to let this one go.' He looked back at his two friends who were now openly arguing and he actually felt sorry for the Bouzu, because Sango was a force to be reckoned with when she was upset.
Lately she seemed to have little to no tolerance for Miroku's behavior. So he knew that this would not be good. The hanyou tightened his hold on the dark haired beauty's hand and watched her body move seductively in front of him as she led him `home'.
“Sango where are you going?” Miroku yelled as he watched her march away headed towards Kaede's hut, torn between following and running in the other direction.
“If I were you, I would try not to talk to much, besides haven't you made enough of an ass of yourself?” Sango said glaring over her shoulder at him.
He caught up with her just as she stepped over the threshold of the hut, “Sango please just let me explain, before you do anything hasty!”
She stood with her back to the monk and began cutting the vegetables for the stew that she had been cooking when Kagome came by. “Miroku, don't push me. I've had enough of you…your lies…and your roaming hand. So do yourself a favour and leave me the hell alone.” She stated as calmly.
“Sango forgive me.” He said as he looked down at his hand. “I guess it's just the curse of this damn hand…” was all the monk could get out before he realized that Sango was in front of him with something cold pressed against his neck.
The look on her face was one that he hadn't seen since they had fought Naraku. `Tears, why is she crying? ...Oh, Kami, not this, not now.' He thought as reality hit him like a ton of bricks.
Taking a deep breath, his back now pressed up against the inside of the hut wall, he gulped, “S...S...Sango P...Please…”
Until Next Time…(Please review!!)
