Chapter 19~Just Like to Boys in a Candy Store


The sun was setting, Miroku woke to see Inuyasha sitting next to Kagome tending to her wounds as she slept. Inuyasha was whispering -“I can do this.”

Miroku choked back a laugh by a fake snore, he kept pretending to be sleeping until Inuyasha was finished and wasn’t so jittery.

Miroku opened his eyes-“Inuyasha would you grab my garment please?”

Inuyasha handed the cloths to the monk.

Miroku painfully sat up and pulled out a flat jug from his robe -“Ah, here it is.”

Inuyasha looked at him-“That’s not going to help your condition monk.”

Miroku-“But, it will make me forget all my ailments for a short time!” he took a big swig.

Inuyasha-“Keh, what ever. How can you even drink that. It smells like it’s a hundred years old.” watching the monk.

Miroku-“The older the better..(^_-)...well not everything.”

Inuyasha-“Keh, I really wish you would have kept that to yourself.”

Miroku-“That hit the spot! Would you care for some Inuyasha? You have more ailments then I do.”

Inuyasha-“Keh, that’s for sure. But I have to protect you guys.”

Miroku-“Do you smell anything?”

Inuyasha-*It’s kinda hard to smell anything but Kagoma.* “No.”

Miroku- “Do you think we might be attacked?”

Inuyasha- “We are sitting ducks if you hadn’t noticed. And Kikyo....”

Miroku nodded.

Inuyasha took the jug from the monk and took a long swig.

Miroku smiled as Inuyasha handed the jug back.

Miroku- “How is Lady Kagome?” he took a small swig.

Inuyasha-“Keh, alive somehow.”

Miroku looked sorrowful -“Do you think Naraku will come for her?” he passed the jug back.

Inuyasha-“Most likely.” took a bigger swig. “I’ll kill the bastard.”

Miroku-“You know it’s your destiny.”

Inuyasha-“Huh?”

Miroku-“Kagome was brought here and sent to you, Inuyasha...it’s destiny. You have to let go of the past and move on to the future. Kikyo helped Naraku do this you know.”

Inuyasha was getting mad -“I KNOW.” <BIG SWIG> “What would you do?” handing the jug back

Miroku-“ Listen closely Inuyasha...Once upon a lifetime, you looked in someone’s eyes and felt a fire burning from the first time.

And once upon a lifetime , you hold the queen of hearts. She is scared and young, and has never tasted love, but if you take her by the hand, a boy will become a man once upon a lifetime.

But if you gamble on a whim the beating stops.

You stand to loose it all, and the lesson learned is hard, you’re only dealt the queen of hearts once upon a lifetime.

So if your taken chances know that chance you take. A broken hearts a high price to pay. But the best things seldom come along twice.

You’ll know that you’ve been blessed when you hold your first born tenderly against your chest. Threw the innocents you’ll see, there you are a family.
People only find a love like yours once upon a lifetime.”

Miroku-“ Kikyo was never really here and never will be she is just a shell. Kagome is here in flesh and blood. Not grave soil.” <swig>

Inuyasha-“I would loose Kikyo all over again. I have to avenge her death and repay her....”

Miroku–“And let your heart die with her, were it doesn’t belong? You gave her fifty years of your life Inuyasha. And now the one who you belong with travels 500 years back in time to free you from the sacred tree and your hellish sleep. And yet you still wish to pay your dues to a statue of a women you once loved... who only wishes to send you into damnation. Who turned on you so easily. Who has participated in hurting Kagome. Who has tried to kill Kagome and yourself before.”

Inuyasha could only listen to Mirokus logic. Silence filled the room for several minutes. Miroku felt bad from panning Inuyasha life out in such a way.

Miroku broke the stale silence-“I never saw you fight like that Inuyasha. When Koga was here. What happened to you?”

Inuyasha remembering -“I don’t know all I can say is I felt this overwhelming sensation of protection. Like it was burning in my vanes. Seeing all of you...”

Miroku could read the hanyous eyes-“And knowing what he came for?” he finished with a swig.

Inuyasha-“Yeah” * I wouldn’t have know that Kikyo was even here unless Kaede had told me. Her sent has disappeared altogether.*

Miroku- “You have every right to be protective of Kagome..... After all you have known her the longest. It isn't what happens in your life that matters most, it is what your heart does with it, who it shares it with and what together they learn from it.” passed the jug.

Inuyasha-“Keh, ” swig. passed the jug.

Miroku nodding his head- “You have always been very protective over Kagome. Maybe it’s because in a way you have claimed Kagome as yours?” as he took another big swig of sake and handed it back to the hanyou.

Inuyasha gruffly- “No” swig,..swig,..swig.

Miroku bowed his head to hid his smile.

Miroku-“Well, what has changed that would cause you to react that way?”

Inuyasha stared into the fire-“I...I read something.”swig.

Miroku looked at the hanyou with question and then in a teasing voice-“I didn’t know you could read.”

Inuyasha going along with the fun-“I’m not the village idiot...Shippo is. I read something that Kagome had written.”

Miroku still acted like he didn’t understand a word as he took another swig.

Inuyasha-“Thing’s...feelings maybe..dreams? I’m not sure.”

Miroku-“And were did you find all of this?” swig.

Inuyasha- “In a book, in her bag.”

Miroku-“Can’t be all that bad Inuyasha. Kagome is a kind light hearted young woman.”

Inuyasha-“Yeah, tell me about it. But I couldn’t tell what she was saying. It’s to complicated to describe.”

Miroku with a twinkle in his eye took a swig-“Guess you’ll never know then huh.”

Inuyasha-“Keh.” swig..swig...swig, he looked over at Kagome, who was sleeping. *Maybe I should let Miroku read it. Then I might get some answers.*

Inuyasha looked at the monk who was acting like there conversation was just a walk in the park.
Inuyasha-“Miroku...do you think you could....read it.”

Miroku-“Well knowing women a little bit better may help.” Swallowing a smirk with a swig of sake.

Inuyasha pulled Kagomes bag over and opened it. He dug around for the pink book.

Inuyasha with excitement in his eyes-“Here it is.” He handed it to the monk who had painfully scooted next to him.

Miroku slurred slightly-“Looks interesting enough.” trying to act as casual as possible.

Miroku-“Well, so far it seems Kagome just writes things down that we have done or been threw.”

Miroku-“Kagome is just a eighteen year old woman is all.” as he read.

Inuyasha flips a couple of pages-“This is the one that got me thinking a lot more.”

Miroku with an eye brow raised-“Ah, I see what you mean. Um, well obviously Kagome feels that she isn’t as strong as Kikyo, and she feels lonely for some reason. Wonder why. I wouldn’t put it past her to have written all of these with you in mind Inuyasha.”

Inuyasha flipped some more-“What about this one then?”

Miroku- “Interesting enough.”

Miroku turned the page-“Have you read anymore?”

Inuyasha -“No.”

Miroku- Sighed and began to read in a whispered slur-


“February 26 ,2004

This will be the last time for a long time that I will be writing. I have to many subjects to study for and things are always hectic around here. So hopefully when school break comes I will be able to write/vent some more.
-Kagome-

Stay with me a while
Because you know I’ll always need you
Don’t go, don’t go away
What if the night comes with no moon


I promise you,
you promise me, that we would be side by side forever
Could it be that you and I could fall in love together

Real, so real the passion that we live
When urgency meets destiny
So none can overcome the power that we seek
And what could be a love so sweat
And tenderly together without question
My mind is set and clear, so won’t you,
stay with me

(That says it all). -Kagome-


Inuyasha (O_O) -SWIG..SWIG..SWIG..SWIG. Miroku-(~_-)

Miroku-“Did you understand that Inuyasha?”

Inuyasha-“Yes, but is she really having these feelings or is she just making things up, in her fairy tail as she puts it?”

Miroku-“ It’s not a fairy tail. If Kagome didn’t have these feeling she would write other thing too.”

(Pause)

Inuyasha looked over at Kagome with soft eyes-“Are you sure Miroku?”

No response.

Inuyasha not taking his eyes off Kagome -“Miroku? Miroku?”
he looked to were Miroku was. Only to find that he had slid down the side of the wall and passed out-“Keh, figures.”

Inuyasha dug around in Kagomes bag and found a pen.
He looked over at the sleeping young girl and began to write.
After he was done he put the book back into Kagomes bag.

He scooted next to Kagome and closed his eyes for the night.
