-------------------------Chapter 4: Miroku's favorite job: giving massages----------------------

 

“Thanks again for letting me live with you.” Sango said for what seemed like the 20th time that day “Hopefully Koga won't be able to find me now.”

 

“You really should stop doing that all the time.” Miroku said, taking his eyes off the road to glance at her.

 

“Doing what?”

 

“Thanking people more then once. You should never have to do that to me or Kagome because we will always do this kind of thing in order to make sure you don't get hurt.”

 

“I know that. But still, you two are opening your homes to me and so I have to thank you.”

 

“There are many other ways you can thank me though.” Miroku said suggestively.

 

“YOU certainly haven't changed at all since high school.”

 

“Oh, but I have, quite a lot actually.”

 

“Prove it.”

 

“Okay. I've stopped asking every girl I meet to bear my child.”

 

“Why do I find that hard to believe?”

 

“Believe it. Now I wait until I've known them for a week at least before asking them.”

 

“At least that's better than you asking them the second you get her name. But that's just as bad. I knew that it would be a cold day in Hell before you stopped being a pervert.”

 

“It's not my fault if my hands are attracted to certain parts of a woman's anatomy.”

 

“Oh God! Not the `My hand is possessed by a demon' thing again. How many women actually fall for something so stupid anyway?”

 

“I'll have you know that I happened to know lots of girls who would die to be my girlfriend because of what these hands can do.”

 

“First of all, eww. Second of all, who in their right mind would come anywhere close enough or stay with you long enough for you to touch them?”

 

“For your information, having a bar that is only open during the night doesn't bring in a whole lot of money so during the day I give massages.” Miroku said defensively. “And just to get my point across, being a masseuse is one of the best jobs in the world and it just so happens to be my favorite.”

 

“That may be true but just to let you know, even if I was so sore that I couldn't move at all, I STILL wouldn't let you touch me or see me naked.” (A/N: yes, I've heard that when you get massages professionally, that you have to be naked and are only covered by the sheet on the table. Please correct me if I'm wrong though since I've never actually had a massage and wouldn't know for sure)

 

“You say that NOW but soon I hope to be doing more than just seeing you naked.”

 

“That's it. Take me back to Kagome's right now. I knew that as soon as I got into this car that you would make me want to kill you.”

 

“Relax, I'm only joking! Like I said, I like to get to know the women I meet before making moves on them now.”

 

“That explains a lot.”

 

“Good. Now you can learn to trust me.” Miroku said, pulling into his apartment complex. `Because once you can trust me then I can give you a massage and hopefully more.' He smiled at the thought and imagined what having Sango live with him would hopefully lead to. (A/N: we all know what he's thinking about. And if you don't then you REALLY need to watch every single episode with Miroku in it. Especially episode 016)

 

“That's not what I meant. I meant that explains why you immediately made moves on me because you already know me.”

 

“Let's get you settled in.” Miroku said to end this conversation. He pulled into a parking spot and turned off the engine.

 

The two of them each gabbed a suitcase and made their way into the apartment building. Once they got to Miroku's apartment, number 169, they found a young woman with short black hair pulled up in a ponytail with two feathers in it and dark red eyes wearing a green T-shirt and jeans.

 

“Kagura,” Miroku said as he went to unlock the door. “I thought I told you that I had to move your appointment to tomorrow at noon.”

 

“I know but at the last minute Naraku called and said that he needed to see me so I'm leaving tomorrow.”

 

“Sorry but I already filled your spot so you need to tell that boyfriend of yours that you can't come.”

 

“I can't.”

 

“You really have no choice because I'm full for the rest of the day until 9.”

 

“I can wait till then.”

 

“That's good except that's when I usually get some sleep and around 10:30 I go to work at the club so I really don't have any other openings.”

 

“Fine. But if Naraku gets mad at me it's your fault.” Then Kagura turned on her heel and stomped off down the hall.

 

“Who was that?” Sango asked as Miroku opened the door and walked inside.

 

“Kagura, she's just one of the many women that I give massages to.” Miroku said, putting his keys on the end table beside the door. “You can have the guest bedroom.”

 

“Thanks,” Sango said, walking through the hallway toward the guest room.

 

“Hey, what did I say about you always doing that?” Miroku called after her.

 

“Uh, Miroku, there's so much junk in that room that I won't be able to fit.” Sango said coming back into the living room.

 

“Then you can share my room with me. It's the one across the hall from the guest room, go ahead and put your stuff in there.”

 

“Okay, tha—HEY! There is no way in Hell that I'm gonna share a bed with you!”

 

`Well, it was worth a shot.' Miroku thought. “That's the only option left unless you would rather sleep on the couch. And trust me, its not at all comfortable and it can get pretty cold out here at night.”

 

“And how would you know that?”

 

“You're not the only one who's just gotten out of a hard relationship.”

 

“What happened to end yours?” Sango asked curiously.

 

“I only have ten minutes to tell you until my next appointment comes in so I'll have to shorten it as much as possible.” Miroku said, glancing at his watch. “Basically, my girlfriend got some strange idea that I was cheating on her with one of my clients and started going through my personal things like my cell phone messages and such. Long story short, it was her that was cheating on me so I had to end it with her.”

 

Just then there was a knock at the door and Miroku went to answer it. “Mayumi? I thought you weren't until 1:30. What are you doing here so early?” (A/N: yes my ACC is in this story. But only briefly since her biggest part is in The New Youkai)

 

“Miroku, it's 1:25.” She said from the doorway.

 

“Okay then, come on in.” Miroku said, leading Mayumi into the living room.

 

Sango was shocked to find that Mayumi was a tiger demoness. She'd heard of them of course, but had never seen one because they were usually very solitary. They were also known to be very fierce fighters. She knew this because she came from a long line of demon slayers. Still, she was interested in what other kinds of demons that Miroku gave massages to.

 

“Mayumi, this is Sango. Sango, this is Mayumi.” Miroku said in quick introduction. “You can go ahead and change in the bathroom while I finish setting up.” He said to Mayumi.

 

“Hey Miroku, I didn't know that you gave massages to demons.” Sango said as Mayumi walked toward the bathroom.

 

“Yeah, demons and humans, male and female. Although I prefer female.” Miroku said, smirking at her reaction. “Why?”

 

“Because Mayumi is a tiger demoness.”

 

“And?”

 

“AND I just happen to know that tiger demons are very rare and solitary.”

 

“Yeah and Mayumi and her mate Takahiro are the only ones that live in Tokyo. And Mayumi is the only one that comes to me.”

 

“Are you ready yet?” Mayumi asked, coming into the living room in a robe.

 

“Yeah go ahead and get on the table. I'll be right with you.” Miroku turned to Sango, “Why don't you go ahead and put your stuff in my room.” He said seeing that Sango's suitcase was still by the door.

 

“I told you. It will be a cold day in hell before I even consider sharing a bed with you.”

 

“I don't blame you.” Mayumi said, lying on the table and making sure the sheet completely covered her before taking off the robe. “Did you know that the first thing he did when I started coming to him was ask me to bear his child? I nearly removed the one thing he treasured most.” (A/N: Oops. I gave a little preview of The New Youkai there. Sorry)

 

“You told me that you don't do that anymore.” Sango glared at Miroku. “You said that you waited until you knew them for a week.”

 

“Well now I do. And anyway, you really should sleep in my room because you'll end up there anyway.” `Somehow, that sounded a lot better in my head.' He thought, bracing himself for the beating that Sango most likely was going to give him.

 

“WHAT!”

 

“What I meant was that like I said, it gets pretty cold out here at night so you most likely would come into my room in the middle of the night.” Miroku said quickly. “My room is after all the warmest one in the apartment at night.”

 

“Alright. I get the bed and you sleep on the floor. That's the only way I'll sleep in the same room with you.”

 

“Okay.” Miroku then started working on Mayumi. “You can either watch some TV or go shopping and get some more stuff. I'm sure you left most of your clothes and stuff at your old apartment with Koga and most likely you won't want to go back there and get it.” He said to Sango then turning his full attention back to Mayumi.

 

“Shopping sounds good. I'll call Kagome and see if she want's to come with me.” Then she went off to the phone. Then, realizing that she still didn't know her way around the apartment, said “Miroku where's your phone?”

 

“Right there in front of you on the coffee table.” He said, pointing. And while doing so letting his hand slip a little lower onto Mayumi's back, thus earning him a growl and also Mayumi lashing out at him with her tail. “Hey! What was that for?” he exclaimed, jumping back slightly from the table.

 

“Watch it monk…Takahiro wasn't happy about it when I told him about all the moves you've been putting on me. And he's given me full permission to punish you if you did it again…but that would mean that I would have to look for another masseuse.”

 

“ I can't help it if my hand slips,”

 

“It just better not happen again. Takahiro will do so much worse then just punish you if he hears about you coping a feel again.”

 

While this whole thing was going on, Sango finally was able to find the phone and dialed Kagome's number…

 

“Hello?” came Inuyasha's voice after the second ring.

 

“Hey Inuyasha. Is Kagome around?”

 

“No. She said something about going to the orphanage or something to look for a kid.”

 

“Why would she go there?”

 

“How the Hell should I know. I told her that if she wanted a kid all she had to do was ask.”

 

“Now I get why she wants to adopt. Its because all through high school all she wanted to do was give some abandoned child a loving home. That and I don't think she wanted to go through with all the pain of childbirth.”

 

“That's a stupid reason for not wanting to have kids.”

 

“Not really. That's why I'm thinking of adoption. Unless, of course, I can find the perfect man that I don't mind going through the pain for.”

 

“You women are strange. Childbirth doesn't seem painful to me.”

 

“Tell me, have you ever actually been in the delivery room at the time of birth?”

 

“No. Why?”

 

“No reason. I'm just proving my point in the way that you've never actually had to experience all the screaming in pain and stuff.”

 

“And you would know this how?”

 

“Obviously you forgot that I came from a long line of demon slayers and it's the women's job in the slayer village to be present at all births.” Sango paused, remembering why she was calling. “Do you know when Kagome'll be back?”

 

“No I have no clue when but you can call her cell phone and find out.”

 

“Alright I will. Bye.”

 

“Bye.”

 

Sango hung up and immediately called Kagome's cell phone number. She picked up after the 5th ring.

 

“Hey Sango. How's living with Miroku going?”

 

“Fine. Except for the fact that he gives massages all day. Did you know that there's a pair of tiger demons living in Tokyo?”

 

“No I didn't know that. Are they Miroku's clients?”

 

“Yes. One of them is. Her name is Mayumi and she's really nice. Anyway, the reason I'm calling is to ask you if you would join me in a little shopping spree.”

 

“You know I can't resist going to the mall on a regular basis. When do you want me over there?”

 

“Uh, half hour?”

 

“Sound's good. I'll see you then. Bye.”

 

“Bye.”

 

Sango hung up and went to get ready.
