"So... how old were you when you first discovered you were a total pervert?"
Miroku opened his eyes only to find Kagome hovering in front of him, leaning forward on her
knees with what he'd heard her call a 'notebook' and a 'pen' in her hand. He tried to lean back - she
was too close and a man only had so much self control - then remembered he was resting against a
tree and just blinked.
"I'm sorry, what?"
Kagome bit her lip in a rather enticing way - well, it would have been enticing if it hadn't been
Kagome, who could make lying on your back with your legs spread look innocent - and glanced
down at her notebook. "About how many villages have you visited since leaving home? Speaking
of which, where is home? Have you always lived with Mushin?"
Miroku blinked again. "Kagome-sama, what are you—"
"Just answer the questions, Miroku-sama!"
"But why—"
Kagome's cheeks flushed. "I have a project for school, okay? We're supposed to interview
someone experienced in something. And, well, you're the most experienced person I know."
"Kagome-sama," Miroku began with a smirk. "I'm not sure that the thing I am most experienced in
is appropriate for this 'project' of yours. Unless, of course, this is your way of saying that you've
finally decided to bear my—"
"For future reference, the only reason I'm not hitting you or calling Inuyasha is because you're no
good to me unconscious. Or dead."
"Duly noted."
They stared at one another for a moment, Miroku looking amused and Kagome seeming to get
more and more irritated by the second. Finally, she released an angry breath and glared at him.
"Miroku-sama, please let me interview you for my project. You're the only one I know who's...
who's... I don't know... worldly enough. You've been all over the place and seen tons of things
and..." Her voice got quieter as she lowered her gaze, her shoulders shaking. "And I don't know
anything about you."
Miroku's eyes softened. "Kagome-sama—"
"It's just—it's just that ever since we met we've never—I mean we as in you and me have
never—actually, I'm not even sure if you've—with anybody—maybe Sango has—but I
haven't—and what kind of friend would I be if I—I mean, everybody knows about Inuyasha's
problems with Sesshomaru and Kikyou—and Sango has Kohaku and her village—but I don't
know anything about you, Miroku-sama!" Kagome looked back up at him and Miroku was
shocked to see there were tears in her eyes. "Not a thing! I know about your hand because I've
seen it! I know about Mushin because I've met him! But I don't—I just—God, this is so stupid!"
Before Miroku could even begin to string together a response to that, Kagome had gotten up and
was running towards the woods, calling something about needing to wash her hands over her
shoulder.
Miroku stared after her, mutely.
