Chapter 8 The Tale of Two Selfish Brothers

 

 

Tas did not wish to make their animosity for one another strong but he could not sit by and not know why Raistlin had said those things about Kagome. “Why would you think that way of Kagome Raistlin?” “Why would you speak of her that way?”

 

As Tas spoke brothers froze, they both had been caught talking about Kagome, and neither of them knew how to respond to his question.

 

Looking from Raistlin, to Caramon, hazel eyes flaked with silver turned to midnight blue as this little being become angry. “You both did not see what I saw tonight, they both were mourning those they love.” Shaking his head in anger, as both brothers watched in awe as this little being defended both Kagome and Miroku. “I wanted to know what was going on so when I went to leave I stopped after a few steps, and then I watched as they both cried for the ones they love, I know for a fact Miroku loved someone other than Kagome, and I know for a fact that sword that Kagome carries belongs to the one she loved and one she lost.” Tas once again looked from one brother to another as his eyes narrowed with determination, “How could you even say these things about Kagome, and Miroku, when you both have not seen what I have seen.” Turning and looking at Raistlin, “You are being selfish, especially since she was the one who stopped you coughing spell, and yet you still say these mean things about her, and yet you still distrust her.”

 

Turning and then looking at Caramon, “You may trust her Caramon but the reason behind your trust is truly selfish, for you lust after her, only wanting her because she is beautiful, and when you no nothing about her, and that's why you are being selfish.”

 

Before both brothers could talk a rustling sounded threw out the air, and then they all watched as Miroku sat up, shaking his head and rubbing his eyes, he glanced at Tas first looking him in eyes, then he looked Raistlin in the eyes, and finally he looked Caramon in his eyes as he asked the question none of them wanted to answer. “What's going on?”

 

Raistlin spoke first, “We were just talking about you and how we no nothing about you or Kagome.” They all watched as Miroku stiffly sat up, and glanced at all three of them again, his eyes turning from curious to guilty. They all watched as his gloved hand rubbed the back of his head, and he let out a guilty laugh.

 

“Hee, well I guess I should start explaining who and what I am right, we can't build trust if you guys don't know the truth about me right.” Miroku knew he had to tell them the truth, looking at all them one more time before staring into the fire as he thought about how to begin his tale, he knew Kagome would not want him to talk about Inuyasha, Shippo, or Sango so he chose his words wisely. “First of all I am not a magic user, were I am from I am known as a monk, and a monk's duty is to help those who are in need.”

 

Miroku knew he held their attention for no answer back was heard, and no sound but the crackling of the fire was heard. “As for my gloved hand, my grandfather faced a demon, disguised as a beautiful woman, and because of his ways the demon cursed my grandfather, and all male children that was born from his blood line.”

 

Sighing softly as he stared into the fire, “In my right hand is a hole that grows bigger every year, it is this curse my grandfather gave my father, and he gave to me, a hole that I watched consume my father, and will eventually consume me.”

 

Raistlin was the first to respond, “You make no sense, how did it consume your father?”

 

Miroku looked into Raistlin's eyes once again, before he explained, he took a deep breath, “As a boy I watched the hole in my father's hand kill him, the hole in his hand grew until it sucked my father inside, and when he disappeared inside his own hand he took, almost half of the Forrest with him, and his fate shall be mine, that is why I wear these pray beads, the help subdue the hole in my hand.”

 

 

Raistlin again spoke, “I see life and death with these cursed eyes of mine, and when I look at you I see that you, and Kagome never age in my eyes, for one who thinks that they are going to die, it never is seen threw my eyes.” “Do you lie to earn our trust?”

 

Miroku snapped his head up and looked at Raistlin shock on his face, and then they all watched as his face then grew angry, and his lips turned into a snarl as he responded, “Fool, the hole in hand will kill me before I get old, it may today, it may be tomorrow, or it maybe five years from now, but I will die, unless Kagome, and myself find Kagura, and kill her, and then this curse will finally be lifted from me.”

 

Miroku last statement had all of their undivided attention, Tas asked the question that everyone wanted to know, “Who is this Kagura person did she travel the same way you and Kagome did?”

 

Miroku knew he just stuck his foot in his mouth, and he knew he should not answer that question, and he was not going to. Instead he just shook his head, “I think we all should talk about this when Kagome is awake she can explain all of this better than I could.” Miroku watched as Raistlin smirked at him, narrowing his eyes in determination, “Why, we are after all in your own words trying to build trust between us right?” Miroku knew he was in trouble, and looking for a way to dig himself out of this hole he was, any answer other than the truth would make them distrust both him and Kagome.

 

AN/ I know it's a little short, but it's being so long since I updated. The next chapter will be longer I promise.
