Simple Pleasures

“Men are so simple-minded.”  

“Yeah, all they think about is food, sleep, and sex!”  

Listening surreptitiously from the adjacent room, Miroku could not help but be disturbed by Kagome and Sango’s conversation.   

His ego rebelled.  We men are not simple-minded!  We are very complex creatures…  A nervous look crossed his features; would this support his desperate denial or only prove the women’s point?  

“Inuyasha, what’s on your mind right now?”  

The hanyou didn’t bat an eye at the odd question, but answered curtly, “Dinner.”  

Miroku smacked himself in the forehead.  “Anything else?”  

“Sleep,” Inuyasha replied, but this time the telltale upturn at the corner of his lips gave him away.  

“Stop fooling around, Inuyasha.  This is serious!”  

“So am I!  I’m fucking hungry and it’s been a long fucking day!”  

Miroku sighed.  They could add vulgarity to the list…  

“Well why don’t we prove them wrong?  Let’s go in there and show them how complicated we are!”  

“Screw it.”  

“Excuse me?”  

“I said screw it.  If they think we’re simple-minded, then we don’t have to make the effort to be all complicated and shit.”  

Miroku paused for a few moments.  “You know, you’re right, Inuyasha.”  And hearing the approaching footsteps of the pretty servant girl he had seen earlier, he declared with a grin, “Then let us satisfy both our appetites.”   

So the hanyou gorged himself and the monk copped a good feel.  And as they drifted off to sleep, they shared a single thought.  

It’s good to be simple-minded.
