Scene 61 ------------------------------------------------------------ A Cave In The Woods

* When Inuyasha finally sets Miroku down inside the cave, the monk promptly clubs him upside his head.

Inuyasha- Hey!! What was that for?!
Miroku- For not listening to me!
Inuyasha- Well, forgive me for being too busy rescuing your sorry a--!
Miroku- My.. a--.. did not need to be rescued...! -- Inuyasha, that.. weird dream..
Inuyasha- Yeah.. It must've been Sesshomaru's poison that caused it.

* Miroku moans a moment, then stops Inuyasha from leaving.

Miroku- Wait..
Inuyasha- I have to go back for my sword...
Miroku- Tell me about this dream.

* Miroku watches Inuyasha flush before he looks away.

Inuyasha- I'd.. rather not.. Ya pervert!!

* When Inuyasha crosses his arms in his sleeves, as he usually does, Miroku realizes by his actions that he's discovered his full set of tits.

Miroku- In this.. dream.. Sesshomaru came to the village to finally claim you as the mate you were created to be...

* Inuyasha swallows and lowers his eyes. One of his ears swivels toward Miroku to continue listening to him.

Miroku- You accepted him and came with him to his castle so he could protect you while you carried his pups.

* The hanyou closes his eyes. As Lohana had said, his brain begins to catch up with him.

Inuyasha- (Quietly) S-seven...

* Miroku goes over to lay a hand on his shoulder. Inuyasha glances at the monk timidly.

Inuyasha- It wasn't.. a dream...
Miroku- No. You were cursed to a deep sleep by a cat...

* Now Inuyasha nods.

Inuyasha- Yeah... I remember now.. A thousand...

* Inuyasha looks at Miroku again.

Inuyasha- D---, you look good for your age...
Miroku- Thanks.. But you haven't been asleep for the whole thousand years... We were able to break the curse...

* Inuyasha looks away. His ears slowly droop.

Inuyasha- (Quietly) So.. it's all.. true...? I'm.. mated to...?

* Inuyasha raises a hand to his neck and feels the mating mark.

Miroku- Yes. You both have put your rivalry behind you.. You've accepted your destinies...

* Inuyasha closes his eyes again and whimpers.

Inuyasha- And.. and then I go and... act like such an idiot... He.. he must be so...

* Since Inuyasha has placed a good bit of distance between them, Sesshomaru's voice invades his thoughts like a distant whisper.


(#) Sesshomaru- No, Puppy... I am not angry.. I understand your confusion... Please return to us when you are ready.


* When the whisper quiets again Inuyasha swallows and looks at Miroku.

Inuyasha- Th-then.. it's all true... Sango, Sister Kaede...
Miroku- Yes.
Inuyasha- Wait... You and Shippo were taken by..! But you were..! How did you...?!
Miroku- Calm down, my friend. Sesshomaru and Kouga worked together to get Shippo and myself out of the castle.. They then killed Naraku once and for all... See?

* Miroku reveals his healed hand to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha- What about the Jewel shards??
Miroku- From what Lady Lohana told me, Rin was somehow able to purify what they took from Naraku.
Inuyasha- Rin..?
Miroku- Sesshomaru has asked me to be one of his advisors... Since I have.. nowhere else to go... I have accepted...

* Inuyasha stares incredulously at the monk.

Inuyasha- And you're sure I wasn't asleep for a thousand years?
Miroku- Since the majority of the Jewel has now been purified, it seems that peace has returned to our lands.

* Before they can say anything more they both feel the presence approaching and look toward the cave entrance.

Inuyasha- (Quietly) You.. feel her?
Miroku- Yes.

* They both hurry out of the cave as Kirara sneaks into the clearing on full alert. The Fire Cat is still obviously wounded and very hungry.

Miroku- Kirara..

* As soon as she hears Miroku's voice her ears swivel forward. Miroku holds a hand out and approaches her cautiously.

Inuyasha- Be careful, Miroku... She might be as messed up in her mind as I am.

* Miroku half glances toward Inuyasha, then begins to speak quietly to Kirara.

Miroku- Easy, Kirara.. It's me, Miroku... Inuyasha and I are here... Do you remember us?

* Kirara lowers her head, gives a low growl, then shrinks into her tiny form and falls over.

Miroku- Kirara!!

* The monk and Inuyasha both hurry over to her. Miroku gathers her up gently into his arms.

Inuyasha- She's starving.
Miroku- Yes, and hurt very badly... Perhaps Lohana can heal her.

* Inuyasha nods and scoops Miroku up bridal style.

Inuyasha- Hold her tight, but try to keep her comfortable.
Miroku- I have her. Hurry, Inuyasha, she's very weak.

* Inuyasha quickly leaps off, ignoring his aching body that hasn't had any activity in a while. Mentally, though, he's still concerned about how to handle this awkward situation between him and Sesshomaru now.
