InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Unforeseen Obstacles ❯ This is what you've done to me ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: I don't know Rumiko Takahashi, so I can't say I own any of this. Now the warning: YAOI. That's right, man lovin' man. If you don't like that, you don't have to read another word. If you don't like my pairing, you don't have to read it, but you'll be missing out! I'm constantly reading InuYasha fics with pairings I don't like just because I like the story. But if you don't like my story, please be polite when you tell me. And also, tell me why. Or if you do like it, review and write whatever you want, LOL.

 

Notes: Chapter 2? Why yes it is!

 

Genre: I'm not really sure… Whatever I classified this as, I'm sure angst will sneak its stinky butt in here.

Rating: R (just in case—if it stays the way it's started, I'll update the rating later to PG-13)

Codes: Mir/San, Mir/Sess

Feedback: Please give me some feedback. Reviewing will keep the fics coming. (points to too-thin muse) and he needs to eat (muses live on reviews)! But please keep your flames to warm yourself.

Miroku sat on the grass, watching InuYasha dueling his brother. The two parties had crossed paths and of course, the brothers couldn't leave a chance to destroy each other. Admittedly, this time, Sesshomaru had simply asked that they get out of his way and InuYasha had taken offense and initiated the fight. Miroku rested his cheek on his fist, watching Sango play with Kirara with Kagome yelling at the brothers to stop fighting. Miroku watched Sesshomaru glance over at the girl and for a moment, he thought the battle was over. Then tetsusaiga flew into view and without even looking, toukijin was blocking. Shippo made a sarcastic comment and Miroku stood, seeing the look on Kagome's face.

 

“InuYasha…” The combat was over; just one word remained to be spoken. “Sit!” Miroku sighed as InuYasha face-planted into the soft ground. Sesshomaru gave them a sidelong glance, then sheathed toukijin and resumed walking. Unfortunately, it was in the exact same direction they were traveling.

 

“Kagome…” InuYasha whined. “How could you?” Miroku walked past the flattened hanyo, walking alongside Sango and Kagome. Shippo actually trotted across InuYasha's back as he caught up with the group. That got InuYasha up and Shippo fled. But upon seeing his brother's back walking a short distance in front of his friends, InuYasha ceased the chase. “What the hell is going on?” Sesshomaru stopped as Ah-un, carrying Rin, and Jakken emerged from the surrounding forest, then he turned and narrowed his eyes at his half-brother's comrades.

 

“We seem to be heading the same direction,” Miroku responded after a moment. The brothers glared at each other, but Sesshomaru turned away first.

 

“If you follow me, do not assume we are allies,” Sesshomaru said, then resumed walking.

 

“Who would be that stupid?” InuYasha growled. “Besides, who said we're following you? You're on our path.”

 

“It's not like we own the road,” Kagome said, trying to prevent another duel. It seemed unnecessary, as the smaller party didn't so much as pause. Rin glanced back curiously for a moment, then slid down from Ah-un and ran up to walk behind her lord.

 

“This should be interesting,” Miroku muttered as he resumed walking.

 

“Why do you think he's not threatening to kill us?” Sango asked, falling into step next to the monk.

 

“Perhaps we are beneath his notice?” Miroku suggested. It seemed the most likely explanation for the arrogant demon's behavior. Sango made a sound of agreement. InuYasha snorted derisively. They walked on until nightfall, their usual banter silenced by the unwelcome addition of the rival group. Miroku felt that they would have kept traveling into the night past Sesshomaru's party if it weren't for Kagome's loud and obviously exhausted yawn. Miroku caught it and heard Sango join in behind him. He heard InuYasha sigh in resignation. Unfortunately, that was also when Sesshomaru stopped.

 

“Rin.”

 

“Yes, Lord Sesshomaru?”

 

“Rest.”

 

“Yes, Lord Sesshomaru,” Rin said, sounding relieved. Ah-un lay down and Rin touched her stomach. Sesshomaru walked off to disappear into the trees. Jakken turned and glared at the human group as he started making a pile of wood. Miroku could almost hear the child's stomach growling and apparently, so could Kagome, as she offered the little girl some food. Rin looked shyly up at her and then over to Jakken.

 

“I don't think she'd offer you poison, girl, go on and take it,” Jakken grumbled, clutching the Staff of Heads and starting a fire. Rin smiled broadly and took the food, thanking Kagome, who smiled back. Miroku noted that Jakken's fire wasn't going to last very long and the imp seemed unwilling to leave the girl to get more wood. He stood and walked out into the forest, calling behind him.

 

“I'll get more wood for the fire.”

 

“Hmph.” He heard distinctly behind him, from the little toad demon. He didn't have to go far to find several good pieces of wood and, unfortunately, Sesshomaru. He eyed the youkai warily as he gathered the wood from just a meter away. Sesshomaru didn't bother to spare him a glance. He was standing in a guarded position, facing away from the camp. Of course he wouldn't sleep with `lowly' mortals, Miroku thought scornfully. He turned and went back to the camp without exchanging so much as a glance with Sesshomaru.

 

He walked back into the camp to see Sango bending over, collecting something from the ground. Unable to resist such a luscious target, he tossed the wood towards the dying blaze and satisfied his urge. Enjoying the firm roundness of Sango's backside was always worth the ensuing slap. As he sat on the ground, smiling from the sting, he had the strangest thought, wondering what the haughty youkai in the forest's rear end would feel like. Shocked and appalled at his own thought, as he occasionally was—he did have the strongest draw towards the strangest butts sometimes—he stretched out on the ground and made himself comfortable. Of course, the first time he saw Sesshomaru, he mistook him for a woman. Only for a moment, though. Perhaps that was long enough to confuse himself.

 

He had never felt a strong pull towards other men. Certainly it must just be that he had never been with a woman and his libido was beginning to become desperate. He was thankful that no one in his party other than Sango had caught his interest. That would be embarrassing. He thought briefly on InuYasha and shuddered. He didn't even understand how Kagome could be interested in him. He was loud, uncontrolled and self-centered. One of the characteristics of Sango that attracted him was her reserved nature. It was also what caused him to be slapped so often, but it was a price he was more than willing to pay. Sesshomaru was also restrained, although he was more aloof, but he was also self-centered and a vicious killer. Miroku laughed lightly, amused by the thought of the taiyoukai and himself.

 

“Souryo-sama?” Miroku looked up, startled. Sesshomaru's human child was offering him a roasted fish. He smiled gratefully, taking it from her.

 

“Thank you—” Miroku paused as he tried to remember the girl's name.

 

“Rin!” she piped up, then blushed. He smiled and the blush disappeared behind her own radiant smile.

 

“Thank you, Rin. My name is Miroku.”

 

“You're welcome, Miroku-sama,” she said, and then skipped back to the fire. Miroku smiled, once again wondering what Sesshomaru was doing with a mortal girl and began eating his tasty fish.

To be continued…

 

That's right. If you want to read more, please review. I have a couple chapters to post even if no one reviews, but what's the point of writing fanfic if no one reads it? Even if you don't have much to say, at least write: I read it. It'll make me happy, really!
