(A/N): So I saw this bug and I was like 'rolley polley' and my friend was all 'pill bug' so I was like 'medicine cabinet' . . . that's all.
*Thank you~ so much Kyosouma_lover and Hirumakage for the reviews, I feel so loved right now.






Stepping out into the sun Miroku stretches, he was in plain white robes, borrowed from one of the village men, his clothes were wet and hanging on the line. He had washed them the other day, half because they were dirty half because of Kouga's comment. He flushes lightly looking around, though he guessed the effort was wasted, he did expect to be close together with Inuyasha soon if it were at all possible. At least they were clean, Inuyasha's sensitive nose would appreciate that he was sure. He looks back at the hut, the others were still sleep and Keade was gone. He suspected she had again decided to take an early morning stroll around the village. Inuyasha. He steps further outward of the shadow of the house looking on the roof, Inuyasha had slept there because the weather was nice.
"Inuyasha?" He looks up, the hanyou isn't there 'maybe he went out as well?' he sighs walking back to the house, sitting down on the half log Inuyasha had set there before. Keade had recommended it because the hanyou couldn't stand to watch the villages pace when their loved one was in Kaede's hut being treated. Now they could sit, though a lot still paced. He looks up at the clouds inhaling deeply 'it's a nice day'
"Hey Miroku, any reason your outside practically naked?"
"huh?" Miroku jumps lookings back forward, finding the hanyou there "Inuyasha"
"it's not summer you know" Inuyasha looks down at the monks robes, they were thin, adding to the fact that if it rained they would no longer serve their purpose. Inuyasha look away as his face does partially red at the images popping into his head.
"Inuyasha are you ok?" Inuyasha turns back hoping his face had gone back to normal
"I'm fine" Inuyasha crosses him arms over his chest "I decided to see if there were many fox youkai living in this region" his brow creases "there aren't many, and I didn't have time to check out any of the ones I'd heard about"
"You tried at least and we're leaving to look for the Shikon shards today, maybe you'll find someone then" Miroku look off into the forest "Inuyasha?" he gets a questioning look "would you mind taking a walk with me?"
Inuyasha looks surprised "huh . . . sure" Miroku smiles standing
"why don't we walk to the big clearing outside the village, the one with the small valley?" Inuyasha catches up as Miroku walks past "It's nice there, and no one really goes"

'I need to keep my mind on other things, Shippo's tutor! Yeh! He needed to keep looking, no one really came up that he liked' Inuyasha looks over at Miroku, who was walking beside him, that robe, ugh! He couldn't stop thinking about it! That or rather the absence of it! he was becoming a pervert just like the monk, well like he was.
"Inuyasha" 'huh?' Inuyasha looks over 'ah, what?' he stops looking back, the monk had stopped for some reason. He backtracks until he's next to him again.
"there's nothing here we should worry about right, nothing that could turn dangerous?"
"No, not really but, why?" 'why would he ask that?'
Miroku looks down, they wouldn't be alone for quiet some time since Kagome was back. They would be always in ear or eyeshot of the rest of the group. Even more than going on a nice walk he wanted to be alone with Inuyasha.
"Miroku?" 'now he's quiet, grea--gah!' The hanyou's eyes widen as the monk reaches up tweaking his ears, his eyes droop and Miroku smiles letting his hands slip down to rest on the hanyou's shoulders. "I've been wanting to do that"
"wha--" Inuyasha blinks
"and this" Their lips meet, Inuyasha immediately complying
'so this is why' the kiss deepens '--he didn't want to distract me from protecting the others'
Miroku closes his eyes, his hands slipping into Inuyasha's hoari*, Inuyasha gasps, they hadn't got much further than kissing before this. Miroku's hands were cool against hot skin though he didn't know exactly what to do with his own.
"we won't be able--" Miroku breaks the kiss only for a second "to be completely alone after we" a pause "begin searching again". One hand slips from the hanyou's hoari taking his hand and guiding it to his waist, Inuyasha's other hand follows on it's own. The hanyou presses flush against the other man, having no problem with giving the monk what he wanted, what he wanted as well. Though he didn't expect it so soon-- second thoughts, he wasn't sure how to do this
'maybe' Miroku breaks the kiss nuzzling the hanyou's neck, small sound escapes his throat
'ah' Inuyasha's breath catches at Miroku strange actions, to him at least 'that's--?'
Miroku pauses, his hands moving to wrap around the other man outside of his clothes, he's hesitating 'this wasn't such a good idea'
"can we" Miroku looks up at Inuyasha, confusion evident on the other man's face "--still go to the clearing?"
"uh . . .'course" 'is something wrong?' Miroku smiles weakly
"that's-- good" 'I was stupid'

"Miroku?" Inuyasha watches as the man twitches slightly at the disturbance, his hand resting atop his head, thumb stroking skin. He had paused for only a second in pushing the hair from his face, and opted for not moving, however the others would probably be getting up and looking for them soon
"Inu . . .yasha?" Miroku's eyes open slowly, he smiles at Inuyasha, his face hovering above. He fallen asleep with his head in Inuyasha's lap. He didn't want to move.
"the other's will come looking for us if we don't go back soon"
Miroku gives a sound of affirmation "I guess I fell asleep" Miroku notices the light weight of the hand on his head, Inuyasha nods silently
He places his own hand over Inuyasha's sitting up "I'm sorry for falling asleep"
"I don't mind" a small smile graces Miroku's features as he leans into the other man's warmth
"I don't want to move Inuyasha, I don't want to have to wait to be with you like this again"
"Miroku . . ." Inuyasha looks speechless
"--but the girl will hate us Inuyasha" Miroku's eyes close as he savors the warmth he knew would be gone soon "Both have been lead on and now . . . but I don't like lying to them"
"I know . . . but they're not ready to know" Inuyasha leans down for a short, but savored kiss, his hands falling to his sides, Miroku's hand clasped in one
"Let's go back" Inuyasha tries to push away the pang in his heart at the look on the other man's face "you're robes should be dry now"
" . . . yes, I suppose so" they stands, Inuyasha brushing his fingers across Miroku's cheek, Miroku leans into the touch. The dam had really broken if it effected him this much to even think about being away from Inuyasha, he supposed it was his fault for keeping his feelings in so long.
"Miroku" Inuyasha tilts his chin up, forcing him to look up "--I can't wait either"
"Inuyasha . . . "
"let's go" Inuyasha takes a few steps towards the woods.
" . . . right" Miroku nods, content for now as they start back towards the village
