Also I don’t own the song “Somebody” by Depeche Mode that is in this fic.

A/N: This little fic is not canon, and falls no place in particular in the series. But it is not totally AU or OOC. I can only write based on the episodes aired on Adult Swim and some of the Viz manga I own.

Somebody to Love


Inu-Yasha and Miroku were getting on each other’s nerves more than usual. It had been three days since Kagome and Sango had kicked them out of Kaede’s village, saying they were acting immature and needed to come back when they grew up. Now they were morosely camped for the night, and Inu-Yasha was at the breaking point.

“Will you stop that infernal noise!” Inu-Yasha said, jumping up with a growl and flexing his claws.

Miroku had been tapping the ground rhythmically with the butt of his staff for the past five minutes. He had been too lost in his own thoughts to notice Inu-Yasha’s growing anger.

“Sorry, “ he mumbled, “Why don’t you go and hunt us something to eat? We ran out of ramen and we’re not getting more any time soon.”

“Fine!” spat Inu-Yasha, “Anything to get away from you!”

He sprang away in a flash of red and silver. Miroku felt relieved to be rid of the temperamental hanyou for a while. He was feeling introspective, and went back to musing over the fight with Sango that landed him here…

“Why must you persist in acting like a pervert?” Sango had said, slamming the door to Kaede’s house, eyes flashing angrily.

“I wasn’t…” he had begun.

“Oh, yes you were! The neighbor came over to ask me if I could keep you away from his daughter. She’s only 16 for kami’s sake!”

“I was just being neighborly…”

“Do you know how embarrassing it is for me to have to deal with these situations when they come up? And they always do, no matter where we are!”

To Miroku’s consternation, he had seen Sango’s eyes then fill up with tears. He knew he had pushed her too far at that moment, and had felt helpless to correct the situation.

“I thought you cared about me.” She said, her voice cracking.

“Sango, I do,” he had said, reaching out his hand to try and console her.

“No you don’t!’ she had said, slapping his hand away, “how can you say you do when you fondle young girls and put me in such situations?”

She had went over to where his belongings lay, swiping angrily at the tears on her face, and started throwing them into a sack.

“What are you doing?” he had said.

“You are leaving,” she had said, “and I don’t want to see you again until you can promise me you’ll grow up and stop this perverted insanity.”

Miroku sighed as this memory weighed heavily on his heart. He knew he blew it, and had not found a way to fix it. What did he need to do to make things right between him and Sango again? Inu-Yasha was no help, he was in his own heap of trouble with Kagome.

Inu-Yasha was stalking a deer. It grazed downwind of him, oblivious to his presence. It was taking longer then usual, this hunt, because he was distracted by his own thoughts. He kept seeing the look on Kagome’s face when she had kicked him out of the village. The hurt and accusations were burnt into his memory, and try as he might he could not shake it. He knew it was his fault, letting Kikyo arrange a meeting with him. She had appeared, playing on his old love for her, the promises he had made that he no longer wanted to keep. Despite the knowledge that it would hurt Kagome, he had met her. And then, Kagome caught them. Inu-Yasha gritted his teeth and snarled silently as the scene played out in his mind.

“Inu-Yasha, I’ve had enough!” Kagome had yelled at him.

Kikyo slipped away, a smirk on her lovely face, to let him deal with Kagome alone.

“We were only…”

“Only what Inu-Yasha?” she had said, the pitch of her voice rising, “If you have to sneak off to see Kikyo, what am I supposed to think?”

Inu-Yasha had just stared at her, dumbfounded.

“You have to make up your mind Inu-Yasha,” she’d said, clenching her fists, “I’m tired of your immature games. You can’t have it both ways!”

“I was only trying…”

“I’ve had enough!” she had said through gritted teeth, “I want you out of here until you grow up and decide not to play these stupid games!”

Inu-Yasha could tell she had meant business. There had been nothing he could say to change her mind at that moment and he knew it. Back in the village he had found Sango had kicked Miroku out as well, and they had left together.

After eating their dinner of venison in sullen silence, Miroku and Inu-Yasha mumbled goodnight to each other and went to sleep. Miroku was on the ground by the fire while Inu-Yasha jumped onto a tree limb above him.

Miroku had the most vivid dream he had ever had about he and Sango.

**************
I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who’ll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She’ll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She will hear me out
And won’t easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she’ll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me.
******
In the dream, Miroku sat with Sango by the banks of a deep, slow moving river. They dangled their feet in it and it felt cool and refreshing. It was a hazy, hot day, and leaves hung low and leaden on the trees.

“Sango, I’m sorry,” said Miroku and took her hand.

She turned to him and smiled. Her eyes were gentle and understanding. It melted his heart.

“I forgive you,” she said, “I believe you never wanted to hurt me.”

“No, please understand,” he said, reaching out to stroke her face, “I mean it when I say I will try to stop my perverted ways this time.”

“I may not always agree with you, but I will try to understand you.” She said, taking his hand and kissing his fingers.

Miroku took her in an embrace. Gently they rested their heads on each other’s shoulders. He smelled the sweetness of her hair, like white plums. Her soft cheek rested close to his. Drawing apart, they kissed, their tongues slipping together gently. The passion that welled up inside them was warm and tender. The heat of their contact combined with the heat of the day was enough to make them strip out of their clothes and wrestle each other to the ground.

Miroku kissed her throat, her collarbone, and worked down to her breasts. Cupping them one to a hand, he brought them to his face where he could shower them with nibbles and kisses. Finally he took each hard nipple in his mouth one at a time and sucked strongly on their sweet flavor. Sango gasped and shivered in his arms. He felt her heat and moistness growing where she straddled his lap. His erection beat on her stomach, demanding attention. She reached down and grabbed it, stroking it and making him moan. Then she slid it underneath her, so it was trapped between his lap and her hot entrance. As he fell on his back on the ground, she took it and inserted him inside her. As she rode him to climax, Miroku woke up.

Inu-Yasha had been deep in his own vivid dream.

***************
I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who’ll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don’t want to tied
To anyone’s strings
I’m carefully trying to steer clear
Of those things
But when I’m asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I’ll get away with it

****************

In the dream, Inu-Yasha was sitting with Kagome in his lap high in the crook of a large tree. The trees limbs were smooth, and smelled sweet from the resin it exuded. They were very comfortable, the dappled light reflecting down on them through the green leaves.

“I want you to know that I am not in love with anyone but you.” Said Inu-Yasha.

Kagome turned in his arms and smiled at him.

“I know Inu-Yasha,” she said, “and I hope you know that I will always love you.”

“I’ve been stupid, but I promise never to let myself be swayed by Kikyo again, “ he said, pulling her tight against him and resting his chin by her ear. “I know no one, not even Kikyo loves me like you do, and I won’t risk losing that again.”

“I understand that you feel constrained sometimes,” said Kagome, reaching up to gently rub his ear, “but you have to remember, I’m not trying to tie you down. It’s only love that binds you.”

Kagome moved his hands from where they clasped her waist up to her breasts. She held his hands over them, urging him to gently squeeze them through her blouse. Aroused, he turned her around so that she was straddling his lap, and they nuzzled each other a moment before entering into a deep kiss. She let him slip his hands under her blouse and remove her bra, then pull off the blouse. They fluttered to the ground unheeded, followed by the rest of their clothes. Keeping her legs wrapped around his waist, he leaned her back against one of the limbs that made up the support of the tree crook. Her eyes sparkled with passion and love, her smile warmed and the enflamed him. Slowly he ran his fingers from her temples down the sides of her face, her neck, and her collarbone and stroked her breasts and nipples. She gasped and shivered a he ran his fingers around her aureole, making her nipples harden. The juncture between her legs just tickled his erection with its soft curly pubic hair. It seemed to breath its own special heat on him. Suddenly he crushed her to him, his lips on her neck, her body pressed tightly against him trapping his erection between them. The sweet smell and feel of her soft body became more than he could take anymore, and he needed desperately to be inside her. Sensing his need, and reacting to her own, Kagome broke away from him so she could lift herself up, her hands on his shoulders. He put a hand on her bottom to guide and position her, while his other hand inserted his length into her. Slowly she rode him, and they both built close to climax. Then Inu-Yasha woke up.

Miroku had just woken up from his dream when Inu-Yasha came crashing down out of the tree. He just had enough time to move out of the way so the hanyou wouldn’t land on top of him, but it was close.

“What happened?” said Miroku, still fuzzy and aroused by his dream.

Inu-Yasha had landed on his stomach, and he now rolled over holding his crotch, and groaned. Despite how he had landed, he still had an erection from his dream. Miroku now noticed what he was clutching and guffawed before he could rein it in. Sitting up, Inu-Yasha grimaced and flashed his annoyance with the monk with his golden eyes. Then he smirked.

“I wouldn’t laugh if I were you,” the hanyou said, looking pointedly at Miroku’s crotch.

The monk followed his gaze and sure enough the arousal he had woken with was standing at full attention and trying to stare him in the face. He sighed and shook his head.

“I had the most amazing dream about Sango and I.” Said Miroku wistfully.

Inu-Yasha grunted in understanding.

“I dreamt about Kagome and I.” He said.

Their eyes met suddenly, and sheepish looks of mutual understanding passed between them. First they smiled at each other, then they started to laugh in a self-depreciating manner.

“Inu-Yasha, we can’t go on like this.” Said Miroku. “We need our women back, what ever it takes.”

“Yeah, I have to admit your right.” Said Inu-Yasha grudgingly.

The tension between the two frustrated men was broken. They spent the rest of the night discussing what they had to do to get back in the good graces of their women. It was agreed that they had both taken the love they received for granted, and that they would not do it anymore. From now on, they would help keep each other in line, because having somebody to love who loved you was too precious to lose, ever.

A/N: The End.
