InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Princess Slave ❯ chapter 22 ( Chapter 22 )

Before:

 

Sango nodded and the girls left Inuyasha sitting on the chair, watching them go.

 

 

Now:

Miroku sat at the bar and wondered if he to should get a job here. It would allow him to see the shows and dancers for free. And he might even get the chance to sneak into the girl's room while they were dressing. He smiled at the thought and started to let his mind wonder.

 

“What do you have those dream eyes for now?” asked a voice behind Miroku.

 

He jumped and turned to face the person who had spoken, wondering if it really was who he thought it might be.

 

“No way…” he said. “You can't be here…you're suppose to be off in America…aren't you?”

 

The man shrugged and sat down on the chair next to Miroku.

 

“Got away early.” He said, throwing back long brown colored hair. “And I had to race to the air strip before the damn place took off.”

 

Miroku laughed and said, “Like that mattered. You're the fastest man I know, so it must not have been to hard.”

 

Miroku then took a second to look over his old friend. It had been a long time since they had seen each other. More then a few years really. When he had lost the only girl he had ever loved, he had gone over to America to try and find a way to get her back. Miroku had never really asked what had happened, but he knew that the girl hadn't died. If she had, he would have certainly heard about it.

 

“So how was it in the states Kouga?” he asked.

 

“Not to bad,” Kouga thought for a moment then said. “I didn't find anything out.”

 

Miroku sighed. He knew what it was like to lose a girl, he had gone through it enough times.

 

“I'm sorry.” He said. “But maybe the answer wasn't in America. Maybe it's here, you just don't see it?”

 

Kouga snorted and said, “Here we have slavery. In America, they don't. How can the answer be in a slave area, and not in a non-slavery one?”

 

Miroku shrugged and replied, “I have no idea, but it could happen. I once found an m&m where I never expected it to be. It was…”

 

“Say it and I'll kill you.” Kouga cut in. Miroku just smiled.

 

“Ok, ok, I won't. But still, the answer might be here and you just don't know where to look.” He gestured around them.

 

“Yeah, whatever.” Kouga went quiet for a second then said, “I miss her. She was my life, and I destroyed both mine and hers.”

 

“It's not like you meant to, though…is it?” Miroku asked.

 

“No!” Kouga almost shouted, earning them a few stares. He lowered his voice and continued. “No. I didn't. I thought that it was going to help us, not ruin us. When her sister…” he sighed. “When her sister talked to me, she told me that it would make her love me for the rest of our years, no matter who or what came along. And no matter what happened.”

 

Miroku nodded and kept quiet, knowing some of this already.

 

“Then, when I talked to her after what happened,” he went on. “She told me that she'd lied. I asked her why and she said that love was like her…it lies, but is beautiful…I have no idea what that meant. I think, though, that it means something like beauty will lie and only be trusted to their word because of it. I dunno.”

 

Miroku smiled, remembering how his old friend had liked to read poetry, but wasn't very good at it himself. People like Kouga you could never really know.

 

“So…” Miroku said when Kouga was quiet for more then a few seconds. “Why did you go to the states? I mean, yeah the answer could have been there, but why didn't you look here in Japan first?”

 

Kouga shrugged and said quietly, “I guess I was sort of running away. I wanted to get as far away from her as I could and not have to risk believing one of her lies again.”

 

Miroku nodded. He had done the same thing, except he was either running away from the girl he was after, her mom, her dad, her boyfriend, or a mix of her family and friends. It never really helped, but it at least got him away from being killed.

 

“So what are you gonna do now?” he asked. “Look for her? Or what?”

 

Kouga smiled and said, “I'm gonna go find her son of a bitch half sister and beat the shit out of her. Then I'll go find my love and convince her that I never meant to betray her.”

 

Miroku almost laughed at the way his friend had been talking, so unlike how he usually did.

 

“You have fun with that.” He said instead. “Come on by some time, it's not much fun anymore without you around.”

 

Kouga nodded and stood up, stretching.

 

“I should go,” he said. “I've got a meeting in a few hours and I'm wiped for that plane ride.”

 

Miroku laughed and stood up to. He and Kouga clasped hands for a moment before Kouga walked out of the club and off down the street.

 

“Who was that?” Kagome asked behind him, making him jump again.

 

“Just an old friend.” Miroku said, sitting back down.

 

“You know what,” Kagome said, still staring after the man. “I think I might have seen him before. Ok, I only saw the back of him, but he still looked familiar to me.”

 

Sango nodded and said, “Me to…”

 

“I don't see how you could know him,” Miroku said. “He's been off in the states for a while now and you two have been…” he stopped himself and put on an apologetic face. The girl's just shrugged it off and sat down.

 

Rin, who was working the counter, came up to them and asked, “Hello my dearies! What can I get you little kids today?”

 

Kagome and Sango laughed at Rin's accent and the way she stretched her words extra long.

 

“Water,” Kagome said, doing the same thing. “If you don't mind your royal make out ness.”

 

“Me to, queen of face sucking.” Sango said, also copying.

 

Rin made a face and went to get the water, swinging her hips with an accent. They all laughed.

 

“Having fun without me?” Inuyasha said.

 

Kagome leaned back and looked at him upside down.

 

“Yep yep, we are, so go away and let us have our Inuyasha free fun.” She smiled, still looking at him upside down.

 

Inuyasha smirked and said, “Hmm? Do you really want me to go away?”

 

Kagome, who was starting to get a head rush, said, “Yes, I d--” and was cut off by Inuyasha leaning down and kissing her.

 

She at once melted and Inuyasha had to support her, or she would fall.

 

“You still want me to leave?” he asked.

 

“Mmmmm,” was the reply he got.

 

Inuyasha smirked and leaned Kagome back up.

 

“Awww!” came the voices of Rin and Sango. “So cute!

 

Inuyasha blushed and Kagome kicked Sango.
