Scene 5 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Later That Day

* Miroku comes out onto the porch of his own hut to look across the peaceful village. He spots Inuyasha in his usual perch in his favorite tree. As the monk approaches, Inuyasha is distracted by a whispering of his name on the wind. The hanyou raises up some, his ears erect, until he hears the voice call his name again a little louder. Immediately he recognizes the voice and flattens his ears, looking away with a growl.

Inuyasha- Go away! I'm tired of dealing with you!!

* Miroku glances around, his human ears hearing nothing, then looks back up at Inuyasha.

Miroku- Are you talking to me?

* Miroku's voice breaks Inuyasha's concentration on the mental bond that was trying to be established. He looks down at the monk.

Inuyasha- What?
Miroku- Were you speaking to me?
Inuyasha- Did I say something?!

* Miroku studies his agitated friend.

Miroku- Is there something you need to tell us, Inuyasha?
Inuyasha- About what?!

* Miroku sighs.

Miroku- Well... About why Sesshomaru is wandering around out there.. Why he seems to come closer to you every spring...
Inuyasha- I have no idea what you're babbling about, you Letch.. It doesn't concern you!
Miroku- Does it concern the safety of this village? Your own safety?

* Miroku watches the hanyou now look around over the village that he's come to call home. He soon whines lowly and lowers his eyes.

Inuyasha- No.. I'll ignore the b------'s taunts this year... I'm tired of fighting him.
Miroku- Inuyasha,...

* Inuyasha glares down at the monk.

Inuyasha- If I ignore him he'll go away like he always does!!
Miroku- Are you sure he'll do that this year?
Inuyasha- Yes. Now go back to your own life! I'll deal with mine!

* Inuyasha turns away, leaps down from the sacred tree, and dashes away. Miroku sighs and heads back to Kaede's hut.
