[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

He was small, hairy and black. The little monkey stared back as the slayer stood opened

mouthed, her eyes wide. Bending down Shoji sniffed the little animal. Quickly covering his

nose he jumped back as he stared at the black monkey. Silence stretched out as all parties

simple stared at each other. Clearing his throat the monkey sat down, scratching his ear.

“Well, hello Sango. I can guess that you’re a bit surprised at my appearance but, to tell the

truth so am I. I only died, what yesterday?” Thinking a bit the black monkey nodded.

“B-b-but, this can’t be happening. You just can’t be…” The monkey grinned devilishly as he

interrupted Sango.

“My dear I am really here. And to tell the truth I like it. This body makes it easy to spy on the

young ladies. Sometimes I bath with them.” He wiggled both eyebrows while his eyes glazed

over in memories. Sango slapped her head as she watched the small monkey. Yep, that was

the Miroku she knew. She felt sad and happy at the same time. She wanted to laugh and cry

at the same time. It made her feel confused.

“THAT monkey is Miroku? I thought he’d be a little more… Noble?” Shoji stared down at

Miroku with strange emotions in his eyes.

“Let’s go tell the others that your back, Miroku.” Upon turning the tears won over laughing

as the small droplets came down fast, her shoulders shaking as she fell to the ground

unconscious. Someone coming back from the dead wasn’t something Sango could handle.

Shoji rushed to her, catching her in his arms before her body hit the hard ground. Pulling her

close to his chest he looked at her face as the tears continues to flow, staining her pale face.

The wind blew harshly, lifting Shoji’s lose clothes. His short silver hair blurring his vision.

Miroku watched the dog hold the slayer tightly while staring at her. He smiled. Standing he

climbed the demon’s leg to rest on his head.

“Hurry up little dog.” Miroku pulled the short strands of Shoji’s hair as they descended the

mountain. Growling Shoji shook his head, trying to dislodge the small monkey.

“For a monk you a right pain in the ass. I bloody well just meet you and your already treating me like a horse.” Miroku simply patted Shoji’s head, earning himself another growl.

“Shoji was it?” He paused as Shoji sped up, racing through the wall gates and straight to the

palace doors. The ex-monk held tightly to his head, only easing up when the dog slowed done

upon entering the building.

“Look, I was going to marry Sango. If you let me ride on your shoulder I’ll tell you what she

looks like naked. Plus how to SEE her naked.” Shoji tripped, catching himself he glared at

the monkey. Righting himself he looked down to the young woman in his arms. His face

grew red. Maybe the little, annoying monkey was good for something. Shaking his head,

causing Miroku to squawk, he grunted out an ’okay’.

“But by the great Kami’s of earth you have to bathe first!”





Upon returning with, Rin Shippou, Kirara went silently to there rooms, not once speaking.

This worried Sesshomaru, though he didn’t show it. Even his Miko was quiet as they sat in

his study. Kagome sat on the large brown coach, Sesshomaru sitting very close, staring

blindly at the scrolls on the opposite wall. The shutters were closed the only light coming

from a small fire that blazed in lanterns that hung from the roof. The fire light made

Kagome’s skin glow, the red colour adding to her sullen mood. The tears for her departed

friend had long dried up, but the young lord could still feel, even see the pain she was going

through. No doubt the inner turmoil was killing her, in time she would get over it and move

on. But it could years before she truly forgot the pain she was feeling. Lifting a clawed hand

he stroked her glowing cheek. She turned to face him, he cupped her face his thumb stroking

her cheek.

“Kagome, this is a tragic time but don’t live your life in sorrow. Promise me that you will

over came this.” Kagome stared into his golden eyes, though his face was unreadable his eyes

told her everything. It was weird how she could like this with him. One part of her mind told

her it was wrong she’s only know him three days. The other part said screw it, you’ve know him for FOUR years! It was simply building up to this. She watched as Sesshomaru’s eyes

flickered. He was waiting for her answer. She couldn’t find her voice so she nodded. The

demon let out breathe he didn’t know he was holding. Smiling slightly he moved forward, he

couldn’t stop himself if he wanted too. He had to kiss her. The space between them grew

closer. Kagome’s breathe caught in her throat as she saw Sesshomaru come closer. Their lips

were only a hair away when the door opened and Shoji entered. Growling Sesshomaru glared

daggers at the dog. Kagome stared wide eyed at the unconscious Sango, little black monkey

and the strange demon.

“What do want Shoji? Sesshomaru’s anger made Shoji step back. Swallowing, he grinned

sheepishly; he was smart enough to know he had just interrupted something intimate.

“Lady Sango fainted My Lord.” Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow. Kagome stood quickly

rushing to Sango, motioning for to be placed on the coach.

“Why, pray tell, did she faint?” Shoji grinned as his clawed finger pointed to the black

monkey on his shoulder.

“A monkey made her faint?” Kagome asked, her own eyebrow raised. The monkey leapt

from Shoji’s shoulder to Kagome, who was crouched beside Sango.

“I can explain my dear Kagome.” The room was silent, the voice of the creature all to

familiar.

“Miroku? That you?” The monkey nodded.

Squealing happily Kagome crushed the small monkey to her chest as tears slid down her face.

The loud noise making the demons cringe in pain. Miroku was in heaven, Kagome’s lush

breasts pressed to his face felt divine. If only he was human. But the sensation only lasted a

short while before Kagome held him at arms length with her nose scrunched.

“By the Kamis! You stink! What in Kami’s name did you do Miroku? Roll around in dog

shit? No offence Sesshomaru.” Miroku scratched his head.

“Well, you see I don’t know what happened to this body before my soul entered it. You see

one minute I was in pain the next nothing. And then my eyes opened and I found myself in a forest.” The Miko placed Miroku on the fur floor before standing beside Sesshoumaru. Even

if he didn’t show it, the smell of the monk was giving the lord an awful headache.

“It didn’t take me long before I realised I wasn’t human. Knowing this I quickly came here.”

‘Of course I did entertain lovely young maidens‘. He snickered behind his furry hand.

Sesshomaru rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

“That is why I couldn’t bring you back. Your soul had already left the body and entered

another. Interesting.”

“Well I’m just glad your alive Miroku.” Kagome beamed, her smile hiding the pain she felt.

One moment your friend is dead the next he isn’t. It was a lot to take in.

“Monk, Shoji will take you to the hot spring. Your scent his unbearable. Tell Sakura to bring

some of her scented oil. My office now smells. ” With a wave of his

hand he dismissed them, going to his desk to read over scrolls. Kagome smiled as Shoji and

Miroku bowed before leaving. It was good to have him back. The only problem now was he

still a pervert?





The sun warm glow did little to warm the bodies’ of those who served Kurai as his hawk like

eyes scanned over them. Each one, even those who stood far from him, felt like he was

looking right at them. His gray-gold eyes watched them unblinking. His red strips looking

more noticeable in the late sun. He smirked. His army was ready. Eleven thousand demons all

ready to throw their lives away at his command. Of course they really did it so HE wouldn’t

kill them. To him many were ugly things, lizards, but they did come in handy. Nana did get

rid of that monk and of course Hiro gave the Moki the veil. With one last glance over his

army he left for Shoji’s tent. The Inu hadn’t seen him since he got back from finding more


soldiers. Entering his tent the scent of sweat and the sound of slapping flesh reached his ears.

He frowned as he watched as Shoji enjoyed the body of another poor female. The young

demon’s hands were tied above her head, the rope wrapped along her forearms to a stake in

the ground. She was gagged causing her screams to sound muffled. Shoji looked up at his

lord, but he didn’t stop.

“Shoji, where is it?” The young woman looked to Kurai for help. Shoji grunted as he nodded

towards the gourd on a low wooden desk.

“That’s it. Hope you like it, my men died to get it.” Kurai smiled as he bent to pick up the

gourd. His long clawed fingers held it tightly, his shiny eyes staring before he tied it to his

waist.

“You better be careful Shoji, you might sire a pup.” Shoji snorted as he continually pounded

the woman.

“Don’t worry. I made that mistake once and now the brats on my fathers side.” He groaned as

he lent over the female panting. Standing he grinned down at the crying woman.

“So does that,” he lifted a claw to the gourd, “ work? Will it really do all that shit and stuff?”

Kurai looked at the gourd lovingly. “Yes.” Facing his ’friend’ he sneered. “I have now eleven

thousand demons. The fights start in two days so I want you to do me a little favour while

you go to get my sword.” Shoji tilted his head side ways as he sat cross legged on the ground.

Resembling a puppy, just not as innocent.

“Favour? So close to the battle and you want me to do you a favour?” Kurai nodded sharply.

“I’m going to visit a man called Nathaniel. He’ll give me what I want. While I’m there go and

visit the little flower. ”

“Nathaniel? What a weird name. Is he foreign?” Shoji rubbed his chin as he yawned. Kurai

simply nodded as he headed out.

“Oh, and Shoji. Don’t kill the girl.” The young demon looked hopeful. “You are not the only male

in this army.”



“Do you three know what happened to that apple?” The old demon sat atop a moss covered

rock. His silver hair long turned grey, his golden eyes long ago turned grey and unseeing. Three young children sat in front of the rock, all waiting for him to continue. Their silver

hair and golden eyes staring at the old man with awe.

“Come on Old One, Please tell us!” The smallest child said, his little arms waving widely.

The Old One laughed.

“Well that little dog ran so fast to try and beat the other dog, that he wasn’t paying attention.

He tripped on his own feet, bring his friend with him. And they both watched as a bird came

and flew off with it.” All three gasped with child like wonder.

“How could they do that? Fall over I mean, father always says that balance is very

important.” The Old One’s lips lifted in a smile.

“Well, Sesshomaru, you find that when you want something more then life you’ll forget all

those rules your father put in your head.” Sesshomaru frowned, that didn’t sound nice. Every

time he forgot a rule he got in trouble.

“Old One?” The pup’s quiet voice was just picked up by the old Inu.

“Yes Kaze?”

“Did you every have something that important?”

“Yes. My mate. She was the most loveliest woman I had every seen. She’s buried under this

rock. That’s why I’m always here.” The pup’s looked at each other.

“My father said that when his mother died his father went with her. Why don’t you?” The

Old One smiled.

“Kurai there is nothing more I want then to go to her. But there is still something I must do

in this world.” Kurai just looked more confused as he stared at the Old One. In fact they

were all confused.

“Old One, everyone says that females a special and… pretty!” All three pups poked out their

tongues and made gagging sounds.

“You’ll find in time that females will be all you young ones will be able to think about.”

“NO WAY!” They all shouted, “Will be friends forever and never need no stinky female!”

Kaze proclaimed. Kurai and Sesshomaru nodding.
“Yeah!” Sticking out his small fist Kurai grinned. “Will never let a female come between

us!” Sesshomaru and Kaze too put their fists on top of Kurai’s. The Old One shook his head.

“For your sake and the lives of others I hope so.”



Nathaniel sighed as he stared unseeing into the setting sun. He could feel the warm rays

against his old skin. His grey hair whipped around him in the wind, it’s long strands like a

curtain around his face. He could feel Kurai and his army move across the land, their

disgusting feet upturning the earth as they passed through. Even the blood they spilt was felt

be the old Inu-demon. Their power was growing, and that made him shudder. He lifted his

hand, the limb like bone with skin wrapped around it, a large eagle swooped down to land on

his wrist; It’s long talons cutting Nathanial’s flesh. It’s feathers were black, the tips glowing

red in the sunset. Fishing around in his kimono he retrieved a small rolled parchment tied

with string.

“My friend take this to Sesshomaru. Stay with him.” The eagle nodded before taking flight,

circling Nathaniel before grabbing the parchment in it’s talons.

“Be careful young lord.”




Jokinji laughed. The sword was done. It’s aura sent shivers done the fox demos spine. How

she wished he had just eaten her. His bulging eyes looked the sword up and down. Yes, Kurai

would be pleased. Placing the sword down he turned towards his captive bride. His brown

tongue licking his eyes.

“Now time for more important thingsss. Don’t you think ssso love?” Hi tail whipped back

and forth as he got closer. She took a step back.

“Please leave me alone.” He laughed, his sharp teeth making her gulp. He reached out a long

arm to stroke her cheek with a claw.

“Oh, but dear, I will never let you go.”
