Oh and for everyone who hasn't worked it out yet Sato is a human. He just pretends to be a demon.

Chapter 3-Miroku the Lecherous

 

When I woke up it was dark. I saw Kagome, Kaede and Inu Yasha where standing by my bed, as well as a man and a woman. The man was wearing the garb of a Buddhist monk and was holding a golden staff. But it was the woman I found interesting. I had seen pictures of her in old family scrolls. I knew it was a long shot but I had to take the chance.

“Lady Sango?”
The group looked at me then at her. She looked astonished. It was her!
“Have we met?” she asked.
I shook my head “No but you taught my ancestors how to fight demons”
Everyone looked at me like I was strange. Everyone except Kagome. She looked thoughtful then she smiled at me.
“You're not from this time are you”
I shook my head “No Kagome I am not.”
Kagome titled her head to the side “Did you fall down the well at the Sunset Shrine?”
Once she said Sunset Shrine I remembered where I had the name Higurashi. The Higurashi family are the protectors of our sister shrine, the Sunset Shrine.
I smiled “No Kagome, I fell down the well at the Sunrise Shrine”

She looked a bit surprised but extremely excited.

“Are you Rena Shizu?”
I shook my head. “No, that is my father. I am Satoruha Shizu but everyone calls me Sato.”
Everybody gave me and Kagome weird looks. Then we spoke at the same time.
“The Sunrise and the Sunset Shrines are, sister shrine, twin shrines. They both have a well and a Goshinboku tree.”
We looked at each other and laughed. I stopped laughing first.
“It is good to meet you Priestess Higurashi.”
The man spoke “So is he a demon or not?”
“No I'm not” I smiled at Inu Yasha “You fell for it though”

The man nodded and I saw his hand slide to Sango's ass. She slapped him and everyone laughed. Then I remembered an ancient story I had been told about a monk.
I turned to face Kagome. “Is that monk Miroku the Lecherous?”
They all nodded. Miroku then glared at me. “How did you know my name?”
I grinned “I heard stories”

Miroku narrowed his eyes “What sort of stories?”
“That you asked every desirable woman in Japan to bear your child and only one said yes” They all laughed except Miroku.
I looked at each of them “So who knocked me out?”
Sango looked down “I did”
I nodded. “You used that boomerang made from youkai bones didn't you?”

She nodded guiltily.
I smiles “Nice aim”
She blushed and looked away.
I looked at Kagome “I need to go back to our time m'lady and call Rena. He will be freaking out”
Kagome nodded “You can come back with me to the Sunset Shrine. Mum would be happy to have you around”
I stood up and tied my sword and dagger around my waist. I saw my clothes.
“How am u supposed to carry this? I didn't bring a bag.”
Kagome smiled “You can put it in my bag.” She pointed to the corner of the room. After putting my clothes in Kagome's bag I picked it up and put it on my back.
“Lets go then.”
Everyone looked at me strangely.
“Are you sure your ok child?” Kaede asked.

I laughed “Don't worry, I'll be fine.”

Kagome smiled and walked out of the hut. I made to follow her but found my path blocked by Inu Yasha.

“You'd better not hurt her.”
“Don't worry dog boy”

I pushed past him and ran to catch up to Kagome.
While we headed to her well we talked about our families.
“I live with my mother, my grandfather and my little brother Souta,” Kagome told me.
“Who do you live with Sato?”
I sighed “Just my father Reno”
Kagome looked at me “Where is your mother?”

I shrugged “Don't know don't care. She dumped me with Reno then left. She didn't want to be part of a shrine family.”

I looked at her sadly “Where is your father?”
She looked sad and started crying. “He's dead”
I hugged her and patted her on the back, unsure what else to do. “I'm so sorry.”

She wiped her tears away. “It's ok. It was a long time ago.”

I looked around. “Are we near the well?”

She nodded “Almost there”
We suddenly entered a clearing and I could see and ancient well in the middle of it.

“Is this it Kagome?”
She smiled “Yeah it is. You just need to hop in”
I nodded and jumped into the well, hearing Kagome do the same thing just after me. I fell for what felt like ages before hitting the bottom.
