The Second Incident or Does Miroku Have a Death Wish and Is Kagome a Hentai?

The birds chirped, the flowers bloomed and Miroku was oblivious them. He knew he should have been grateful to be out of the village, yet his mind was still fixated upon one thing. Sango. Or more appropriately, Sango's hand. Touching. Touching him. Her delicate fingers, so soft and warm…but it was the imagining of what other things her hands could caress that preoccupied Miroku, nearly causing him wander into a tree.

A few feet ahead of the lust-ridden monk, Kagome glanced back at him curiously. Her eyes widened when she caught his near blunder and she looked forward to see if anyone else had noticed. With Shippou sitting on her knapsack, which was on top of her bicycle, that left Sango and Inuyasha.

Most likely still embarrassed over her earlier indiscretion, with Kirara by her side, Sango stared ahead silently. Kagome managed to catch Inuyasha's eye and could tell from the wary look on his face that he suspected something. Though whatever that something was, he wasn't sharing. She sighed lightly and shook her head.

With Naraku running (and "kukuku"-ing) around somewhere, plus Shikon fragments to locate, they really didn't need any more problems. Plus Kagome had a tough Math test coming up, meaning she would have to come up with a new and improved "Inuyasha Getaway Plan." Maybe I could borrow some of Sango-chan's-

"You look upset Kagome-sama. I hope that it isn't on my account." Miroku's voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

Had she been walking rather than riding her bike, Kagome would have jumped. How had he gotten so close to her without her noticing?

"Eh, no I'm fine." Kagome replied with a quick smile. "But I'm worried about Sango-chan, she seems a little shook up."

"She was acting almost as strange as you usually do Miroku." Shippou piped up from behind Kagome.

Kagome frowned at the statement and fixed Miroku with a questioning look. "You wouldn't happen to have anything to do with this, would you Miroku-sama?"

Miroku gave her his most innocent smile. "I assure you Kagome-sama, I was as surprised at Sango-sama's actions as you were. However, were you to…" He trailed off when he noticed a very familiar blank look cross Kagome's pretty face…

Inuyasha couldn't keep from sneaking glances behind him. And what he saw, he didn't like. Even though she was riding her metal contraption, Kagome was awfully close to Miroku. Growling to himself, Inuyasha tried to focus upon what was important. Reuniting the shards of the Shikon no Tama, becoming a full-blooded youkai and finding Naraku, ripping out his innards and feeding them to him. He deserved that a whole lot more for everything he had done.

Still…Inuyasha remembered the earlier incident and scowled. If he so much as looks at Kagome the wrong way, screw the hellhole, I'll cut his damn hands off. Feeling more resolute, Inuyasha turned around once again. His jaw presumably dropped. One might now have been sure, due to the almost feral sound he uttered.

It was a cross between a growl and a shout and certainly enough to make Sango look behind her and gasp.

"Kagome-sama…!" For not the first time in her life, Sango was without words. And she did have good reason.

Some way, (precisely when Sango wasn't sure) Kagome had thrown her metal contraption, with poor Shippou still in it, to the ground and-ahem-managed to tackle a very willing Miroku.

Sango's face flushed with embarrassment. She had been ashamed of barely touching a man she wasn't betrothed to so…intimately, but what Kagome had done…and that Miroku was enjoying it...

This doesn't bode well, the taijiya thought wearily before going to extract Shippou, whose eyes were spinning in odd little circles. It was probably not a good sign…

~*~

If it had been almost anyone else, (Sango, Inuyasha for starters), they might have been disturbed. But since it was Miroku, he couldn't help but find Kagome straddling him to be intensely arou-Damn.

Revived by Inuyasha's very loud yell, Kagome jumped from Miroku's body. Her face glowed a remarkable scarlet color and she looked as mortified as Sango had earlier. She immediately went to the still-stunned Shippou, who was held in Sango's arms and muttered rapid apologies.

Miroku did feel for the young kitsune, but was unable to express his sympathies. Before he could blink, Inuyasha had him hovering above ground in the tightest chokehold imaginable.

Ignoring Sango and Kagome's anxious pleas completely, Inuyasha tightened his grip. His sharp claws dug into Miroku's throat painfully, but the monk wasn't about to push his luck and ask the hanyou to loosen his grip.

"I'm only gonna ask you this once Miroku," Inuyasha snarled furiously. "What the hell is going on?"

Miroku would gladly have provided him with some form of an answer, had his supply of air not become dangerously scarce. And jugging from Inuyasha's expression, it was most likely that he wasn't going to be permitted any more.

~*~

Kagome had had enough. As mortified as she felt about practically attacking Miroku and his despite obvious attempts to prolong his involvement, she didn't want Inuyasha to kill him. Even if a small part of her slightly pleased that he would go to such lengths to protect her.

Feeling a new rush of guilt over the selfish thought, Kagome took a deep breath. This was going to hurt Inuyasha far more than it was going to hurt her.

"Osuwari!"

BAM!

Inuyasha was introduced to the ground once again. A pity that it was littered with several sharp, pointy rocks.

It was that fact that made Kagome even more nervous. If Inuyasha had been mad before, being subdued had probably made him furious.

"Stupid bitch!"

Yep, Kagome thought wearily. He's definitely furious.

"What'd you do that for!?" Inuyasha asked crossly.

Clutching Shippou closer to her, Kagome glared at him. "Why do you think?"

Inuyasha made a sound of frustration. "If I knew, you think I'd waste my time asking you?"

~*~

Sango had been watching the scene intently. While Inuyasha and Kagome proceeded to argue (again), she had gone to see how Miroku was faring. After Inuyasha's subduing, he had landed on the ground only a few feet away. He was better of than Sango had expected, it seemed Inuyasha had been more preoccupied with strangling him rather than slitting his throat open. Lucky for him.

"How are you faring houshi-sama?" She inquired neutrally.

Miroku looked up at her and winced slightly. "I am…as well as can be expected, given the situation."

Feeling relieved, Sango nodded. "Good." Faster than usual, she reached for her Hiraikotsu (and this time it was her Hiraikotsu she grabbed, not Miroku's rear). She hoped to never make that mistake again. At least not in public.

Wondering precisely where that thought had come from, she swiftly brought the Hiraikotsu down upon Miroku's head, giving him quite the goose egg.

Then lowering her Hiraikotsu, Sango stared at Miroku coolly. "Perhaps now you will explain what is really happening."
