CHAPTER 1: Strange Encounter With A Ninja

 

After Sesshoumaru had lost Naraku's scent he headed back through the forest to where he had left Rin and Jaken three days ago. It must be a barrier, Sesshoumaru thought. He was frustrated but nothing if not patient. Naraku, when I find you, your death will be by my hand.

 

After three days of pursuit with no rest Sesshoumaru decided to stop for the night. Jaken is capable to care for Rin for a couple more days, he justified to himself. He settled under a large tree and watched the sun set, as it turned the sky from blue to pink to purple and, finally, to black. Sesshoumaru closed his eyes but quickly opened them a few minutes later when he sensed eyes on him.

 

Standing not four feet away was a human female dressed all in black in an outfit very similar to a demon slayer's except her head and lower face were also covered. If it hadn't been for Sesshoumaru's demon eyesight, he never would have seen her as she stood against the background of dark trees. He never moved from his position, only the widening of his golden eyes gave any indication of his emotions. How could she have approached without my noticing?! I can't even smell her scent, how can that be?

 

She stood quietly looking at him, as unmoving as he was. Her sea green eyes blinked slowly and she tilted her head slightly to the right striking a pose of curiosity.

 

“Do not disturb me, human, if you value your life.” Sesshoumaru said, giving her his most deadly glare, intent on not allowing a human to see his surprise.

 

Instead of quaking in fear and running away screaming as he anticipated, she giggled, “Kai, my name is Kai”, and with that she promptly disappeared.

 

Sesshoumaru leapt to his feet, surprise evident on his normally stoic face. What was she; dead, a ghost? I did not smell graveyard dirt or sense a demonic spirit. This can't be right. Sesshoumaru looked around, using his demonic powers to sense an aura of any kind, gently sniffing to catch any scent, his ears strained to hear any noise. He could find nothing but the normal night time scents and sounds of the forest.

 

Sesshoumaru again lowered himself under the tree, puzzling over this strange encounter. He eventually drifted off to sleep, dreaming of green eyes.

 

 

Inuyasha and the gang, just finishing breakfast, were breaking up camp. Kagome and Shippo were packing everything back into her sack while Sango was rolling up the sleeping bags and getting her own things together. Miroku and Inuyasha headed down to the stream to wash the dishes.

 

Lately Inuyasha was very aware of the monk's presence. He couldn't figure out why he watched him so much and it bothered him. Bringing up the topic of Naraku to avoid his confusing thoughts, Inuyasha broke the silence as Miroku dropped the dishes into the cool, clear water.

 

“Damn, why does Naraku hide so much? I hate it that we can't find him. Why doesn't he come out and fight instead of all this cloak and dagger shit.”

 

“I'm sure Naraku will appear when everything is most to his advantage”, replied Miroku wisely.

 

“Keh”, grunted Inuyasha as he watched Miroku clean up in companionable silence.

 

Miroku had noticed Inuyasha looking at him over the past few weeks, even catching Inuyasha blushing slightly when he locked eyes with him. Miroku knew his friend was feeling odd and he had his suspicions. He had tried a few experiments to gauge if he was correct. He had walked up behind Inuyasha one afternoon, who was engrossed in thinking about Naraku and how to find him too much to really notice. Miroku had stood very close to Inuyasha “accidentally” brushing his fingers against the white haired youth's hand.

 

Inuyasha had just about jumped out of his skin, Miroku's gentle touch had sent shock waves racing along his spine and he spun furiously to face the dark haired monk with a hot blush creeping across his cheeks. “Don't sneak up on me like that!” he yelled.

 

“I didn't, I just walked right up to you” Miroku shot back at him. “You seem distant, is anything wrong?” he asked laying his hand gently on Inuyasha's shoulder.

 

Inuyasha stood stock still, trapped by Miroku's eyes. “Ahh…em…er… just trying to figure out how to bring Naraku out of hiding” he said a little breathlessly. He still had not looked away from Miroku's deep purple eyes.

 

“We'll figure it out Inuyasha.” He let his had slip off Inuyasha's shoulder, gently stroking down his arm as he did. Miroku saw Inuyasha shiver as his hand stroked his arm and a look of confusion cross his face before he could look away.

 

Now Miroku is a leach and a pervert, but he is not a jerk. He is very experienced in matters of sex and has a healthy libido, having been with both men and women, many times, many ways. To him sex was sex and pleasure was pleasure no matter where it came from, but he did not want to hurt his friends. He knew he would if he pursued this. So he decided it might be ok to tease a little but to not let it go too far.

 

He shocked himself to realize that he valued his friends over sex. Will wonders never cease, he thought with a smile. He stopped his experiment, “We should head back to the girls; see if Kagome can sense any shards. They'll be worried.”

 

Since that day Miroku had realized what Inuyasha did not, that Inuyasha was interested in him or at least curious. Miroku had thought about Inuyasha as well but continued on as he always had - afraid to do anything serious about it and lose all his friends.

 

As Miroku finished up with the dishes and they both started to head back, Inuyasha stopped so suddenly that Miroku almost walked right into him. “What's wrong?”

 

“Look”, said Inuyasha. There in front of them was a girl dressed in a slayers outfit of black. “Who are you?” he scowled.

 

“Kai”, she answered. She walked boldly up to Inuyasha and walked all around him, looking him over closely.

 

“What do you thing you're doing, wench?”

 

“Nothing”, she said sweetly. She then cast her green eyes over to Miroku. “Hello”, she said.

 

“Hi, I'm Miroku and this disagreeable fellow is Inuyasha. Might you happen to be a demon slayer?”

 

“What's with the mask?” grumped Inuyasha, “Are you ugly or something?”

 

Kai smiled and then said “No: A ninja usually covers their identity; and I don't think so.”

 

“A ninja”, said Miroku, raising his eyebrows. “Now why would a beautiful ninja like you be seeking us out?” He began to sidle up to her with his most charming smile plastered on his face, but before he could let loose his normal spiel, Kai did three smooth back flips to the base of a tree and then jumped straight up, laughing the whole time.

 

“What the hell!” exclaimed Inuyasha as he gave chase, launching himself into the tree to find…nothing. He then realized he couldn't even catch her scent any longer. How could a human move that fast? What the hell is going on!? Why can't I smell her? Inuyasha landed back on the ground in front of Miroku.

 

“Find her?” he asked.

 

“No, she just disappeared.” frowned Inuyasha.

 

“Do you think she was a minion of Naraku's?” asked Miroku.

 

“No, she was definitely human and only human, I sensed nothing else.”

 

“She sure is supple, eh.” said Miroku with a wolfish grin.

 

This earned him a whack on the head from Inuyasha. “Come on pervert. Let's tell the others and see what they think.”
