Disclaimer: All Inuyasha characters belong not to me (as hard as that is to believe) but to Rumiko Takahashi and related companies. No money is being made off of this fic. if the mentioned book exists, I don't own that also . . .yeh.
(A/N): Inu/Miro relationship almost non-existant in the last one . . . I don't know how I feel about that. Thou it wasn't the focus. o(9_9)o
"Can I?" Inuyasha shrugs allowing Miroku to take his hands and examine them. Their trip had been postponed till he healed, he couldn't hold Tetsusaiga right now. Miroku's fingers trail lightly over the bandages, the skin sensitive. Kaede and Shippo had for water and Kagome and Sango were with the other women of the village teaching them a few self defense techniques with Sango's skill and a book Kagome had brought about a month ago.
Miroku places his warded hand over one of Inuyasha's smiling sadly "I keep thinking . . .what if we don't defeat Naraku, Inuyasha?" His eyebrow raise in surprise before turning down seriously
"that's not an option Miroku, we'll kill Naraku and get back Kohaku, and save you" Inuyasha closes his hand over the other man's ignoring the pain. It was partially numbed by the paste Keade had put on it.
"are you so sure Inuyasha?" Inuyasha pulls the other man to him
A low his seeps through his teeth at the pain in his hands
"Inuyasha--" Inuyasha kisses him, cutting off his sentence, he keeps it short knowing Keade and Shippo should return at any moment now. 'I hope I'm doing this right'
Miroku gasps for air when he is released, his face flushed "Inuyasha . . ."
the hanyou's lips twitch upwards at the corners at the monk's breathy voice
"what . . why are you smiling?" his voice returns to normal
"your voice just then" 'when did he get so bold? He was never this bold with Kagome, but then Miroku didn't try to dominate him like Kagome did' "it was nice"
Miroku's face flushes again "I see"
"maybe I should kiss you more often" Miroku smiles
"I wouldn’t object" Miroku leans forwards, Inuyasha resists the urge to catch his chin in his hand, minding the burns.
"wait" his voice stops Miroku just a hair away from completing the kiss
"what is it?" Miroku looks at the hanyou questioning, uncertain if he'd done something he shouldn't have "is . . . something wrong?"
"Keade and Shippo are back" Inuyasha sits back up, Miroku does the same
"ah--so how did you manage to break the rosary" Miroku provides a conversation topic
Inuyasha catches on "I don't know, I just pulled with all my strength, but I don't really understand how even that worked. As far as I know they can't be broken by anything but magic"
"that's right" Keade and Shippo enter the hut through the screen, Shippo sets his bucket down against the wall next to Kaede's
"Inuyasha" Keade looks the hanyou over, glancing at his hands "did your mother, have any kind of spiritual power?"
"power . . .?" Inuyasha looks thoughtful for a moment before shaking his head "I don't know, if she did I didn't notice, or remember. Why?"
Miroku cuts in "if she did then it would explain how you were able to break the rosary, her abilities could have been passed onto you on some level at least if she had them"
" . . . oh, that makes sense" 'did she?'
"hey, Inuyasha?" Inuyasha turns to the kit, who had just moved to sit at his right knee
"what is it?" Shippo scratches his head
"well~ you know when you said you'd find someone to teach me fox magic?" Keade raises an eyebrow in inquiry as well as surprise "really now Inuyasha?" He nods
"Yeh, what about it Shippo?"
"when exactly will that be . . . I'm just curious is all, and kind of excited" Shippo draws circles on the ground with his finger
"soon Shippo, but tell you what, since I can't right now" Inuyasha stands "why don't I show you a few moves that don't need magic" Shippo's face lights up, he hops up onto his feet
Inuyasha walks to the door way looking back "hold down the front eh Keade-baba?" Inuyasha grins almost teasingly at the old woman
"of course Inuyasha" Keade can't help but smile at Inuyasha's good mood showing through.
Inuyasha turns to Miroku "I guess I don't have to warn you to keep your hands off of Keade-baba do I Miroku?" Keade chuckles
"come now!" the monk looks half flustered half cautious of Kaede's reaction. Inuyasha smiles briefly at the monk before waving over his shoulder as he and Shippo head out the door. Miroku can't help but smile back.
"so tell me Miroku-sama, when did this happen?"
"what do you mean Kaede-bachan?" He slips in the affectionate suffix, his tone innocent
'did she . . .of course' She smiles knowingly
"that was quite a look between you two" 'she's too good'
"not that long ago . . .Keade-sama, you are very wise"
"or very observant" her smiles broadens

Kagome watches as Sango shows the women how to get out if someone grabbed their arm, demonstrating on one of the younger girls
"like this, watch this, twist towards the thumb" there is a resounding 'ah~' throughout the group as they practiced with each other
"kya! It works"
"hey that kinda hurt"
"sorry!"
"wow it does work!"
"you're strong Emi!"
Sango smiles back at Kagome, Kagome returns the smile looking back down at her books '100 Easy-to-Learn Self-Defense Techniques for Women'. She just wasn't as into this today. She wasn't sure she felt safe with Inuyasha's rosary gone which was bad, she had supposedly loved Inuyasha. Fear someone you love, it didn't sound right. Her brow creases, also he'd said-- that she'd been replaced, with who? She looks over at her friend 'could it be Sango?' she shakes her head, Sango wouldn't do that to her. Her eyes widen 'could it be Kikyo, had she come back an accepted Inuyasha back . . .no! She wouldn't, she wanted to take him to hell, she would have done it. She hadn't even been around lately . . .which was strange in itself. ' Was he bluffing? Why would he' He looks around 'not any of these women . . .a youkai woman? I don't want to think about it' Opening her book she flips through it for anything interesting to get her mind off the Inuyasha subject
"now let's try with two hands, still twist towards the thumb"
