Chapter 5

The door to Miroku's chamber burst open and the monk rushed in, slamming the door behind him and melted against it. His cheeks burned with a red colour; his heart threatening slamming against his chest as he panted heavily. What had transpired a few moments ago had left him totally speechless.

“Damn that Sesshomaru I never thought he… he would do that.” The colour on his cheek darkened at the memory, however a soft smile graced his lips, the more he thought about it. Oh, he felt like such a girl now!

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooo

Flashback

Miroku followed the servant quietly through the huge corridor. The castle seemed more or less silent, except for the occasional squeal from Rin, whom he presumed was playing nearby, and squalls and curses from the toad servant.

However, he soon discovered that if he listened carefully he could pick up different sounds that he would have normally ignored.

`Wonder how my hearing got so good.'

The servant suddenly halted near a huge carved door and Miroku, who was so lost in his thoughts, nearly ran into him. Muttering a quick apology, he waited while the servant knocked softly and announced their arrival.

“Come,” the servant nodded at the answer and swiftly pushed the door open for him, and gestured him to enter. As soon as he stepped into the room, the door was closed behind him with a slam making him jump. However, he quickly composed himself and turned his attention to the room and his jaw dropped. The room was colossal to human proportion and he was totally taken by the number of books housed in it. Almost all the walls of the room were fitted with giant sized shelves, running from the ground to the ceiling, each filled with books on various subjects. A narrow ladder stood against one of it, but from the looks it, it was hardly used. One of the walls was free of the fitted shelves but contained a bookcase beside which was a large teak wood desk with scrolls and books meticulously sitting on it. Behind the table was an equally large, but comfortable looking armchair, with the western lord perched on it studying the opened mouthed monk with an amused expression on his face.

“I don't suppose you plan on ridding this room of flies with your open mouth, monk?” he quipped, with the usual smirk on his lips.

Miroku quickly composed himself and answered with his usual charm. “No my lord, I was simply enamoured by the immensity of this place. It is a paradise for those who love reading.”

`Damn, if I had access to such a place. I could spend my whole life here, just think of the treasures hidden in these books.' Though the monk never expressed it, he always seemed to enjoy reading and with the lord… Miroku licked his lips; generating several possible intimate images of Sesshomaru and him settled in front of the fireplace on a cold night snuggled in a couch, reading, while slowly caressing each other………..

“I wouldn't be too sure of that.”

Miroku really jumped out of his skin at the comment. Taking a tentative look at daiyoukai he was sure he caught a slight hue of pink on his cheeks, or maybe his eyes were playing tricks on him. He shook his head and chose to focus on the reason for his being summoned here. Moreover, he had to consider his options of escape should the lord chose to keep him here as a prisoner here.

The smirk on Sesshomaru's lips, as he pushed the chair back to stand up and strolled to the front of the desk leaning against the desk silently making the monk squirm under his scrutinizing gaze, was incredulous.

Miroku had had enough of this. The silence was getting to him and with the lord watching him so closely… well he didn't mind it very much, but he knew very well that inuyoukai had a heightened sense of smell and he didn't want to give the lord any reason to kill him. So he opted to break the silence and asked the lord why he was called here.

“So, Lord Sesshomaru, what would you want me to do in return for saving my life?” He inquired, sporting the best scowl he could muster.

`Kami knows what the bastard wants to me to do. Perhaps, make scrub the all walls of his castle and wash his clothes and do the dishes. Or maybe he wants me as his personal slave, making me do despicable things, well… some of those things I wouldn't mind to do for him as long he is gentle.'

Sesshomaru cleared his throat, to bring the monk out of his perverted thoughts. He was amazed how the monk could shift his thoughts, to ones of laced with ire and hatred, to simple ecchi. Perhaps he should `play' with the boy a little more.

“From this day forward, you shall take all responsibly of my ward,” he announced, closely watching the monks reaction.

Miroku looked up quizzically, he didn't quite understand.

“I presume you didn't quite grasp my words monk and here I thought you were intelligent. Perhaps the head injury caused more damage than I expected.” he quipped, managing to bring forth a light pinkish blush on Miroku's cheeks and unconsciously admiring its beauty.

Finally realising his actions, he caught himself and decided to explain his motives further. “Rin, although she is growing up amongst the confines of this castle, is a ningen and therefore has to learn the ways of the human, for she cannot remain among us all her life.” Miroku didn't fail to notice the momentary sadness that flickered in the daiyoukai's amber orbs. “Therefore I entrust you with the task, to teach her all there is to know about humans and their ways of life. You will also supervise her training in self-defense and ensure that she excel in all her studies.” He informed.

Silence reined for a few minutes, as Miroku stared bewildered at the lord. Here he had expected that the stiff bastard would force upon him the most vile and degrading task in the world or probably try to harm his dignity. He never expected to given the responsibly of a child or to be trusted for the matter.

He blinked a couple of times. "Y-you only want me to take care of Rin? T-that's it, nothing more?” He couldn't say he wasn't a tiny bit disappointed.

The sides of his lips curled up slightly as he strode forward to where the boy stood. “Hai,” He answered, as coolly and patiently as always.

Suddenly, Miroku found himself in Sesshoumaru's arms, his chin caught in the daiyoukai's lean fingers as he studied his features closely. “Although, you have more uses than one boy.” He concluded. “Why? Were you expecting something more?” He asked, admiring his unique scent and the way the soft lips glistened when Miroku unconsciously licked them nervously before answering. “N-no”

`So young and so pretty.'

He couldn't control himself, something was pulling him to the young man in front of him and he leaned forward, burying his nose in his neck; inhaling the delightful aroma his body emitted.

Miroku stood frozen in his place, unable to do anything more than to feel, letting the sensations rule all his senses. He didn't know what to do however, something inside him told him to give the youkai lord more access and he leaned his head back and to the side.

A growl of approval was heard, before he felt something wet teasing the area along his neck. Goosebumps broke out on his skin, as his eyes closed slowly, an inaudible moan falling off his lips. Hands traveled down his back and pulled him close to the lean body before it moved down to squeeze his backside firmly. He nearly jumped out of his skin squeaking, as his cheeks flared and eyes went wide dramatically.

The flurry of thoughts that ran rampant through Miroku's mind warned the inuyoukai of his surroundings and he released him abruptly. He was both bewildered and disgusted at the slip, but still couldn't help feel the mild amusement at the houshi's reaction. It was good so see the boy get a taste of own medicine for once. A smirk formed yet again, on his lips.

“Then, that is all you have to do… for now. However do not take this task lightly, Rin can be quite the little devil when she wants. You would hardly have time to think of anything more.” He informed knowingly. The monk seemed to be in a daze again, for he hardly acknowledged that Sesshomaru was no longer standing close to him. Sesshomaru himself was no better; it took all his self-control to prevent the animalistic urge to throw the monk on the Oakwood table and take him then and there. “You may take your leave now.” He ordered roughly, turning away from Miroku. “You shall begin tomorrow.”

Miroku, who had finally managed to gather his wits, ran out of the room immediately; without a word dashing through the corridors at top speed, his cheeks burning and his body tingling from the heat he had felt coming off Sesshomaru's body.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooo

“Does that mean that he feels the same way about me, as I do for him?” He whispered, the grin widening on his face. “Well, lord Sesshomaru, we will have to see about that, won't we?”

Somehow, living in this castle didn't seem to be bad idea after all…..
