chapter 1: Peed Your Pants

Chapter 1 : Peed your pants
_______________________________

“Oi, Kagome come on lets go!”

Shouted a very impatient hanyou. He was ready to leave for his home again. He was anxious to get back. He turned to see that Kagome was still packing some things into her big yellow back pack. With a frustrated growl he said her name in syllables through clenched fangs.

“Ka…go…me…!”

“I’m hurrying Inuyasha; I just want to make sure I’ve got everything. Besides I don’t understand why you’re in such a rush to get back anyway. It’s still cold and snow is still on the ground. We’ll be in the village til spring.”

She put in the new set of portable speakers, her mp3 player with songs that she thought they would all like into her bag. She smiled as she thought of Miroku, he most of all loved listening to the mp3 player and listening to his favorite songs. None of them had a particular genre of music, for they enjoyed listening to a bit of everything. However, they loved American music the most.

Some time back when Kagome was learning English she had tried to teach them all the language too, as you know the saying, if you teach it you will remember it better, however, during that time she found that for Inuyasha and Shippo it wasn’t hard for them to learn the new language at all. In fact, she, out of curiosity decided to experiment and brought back books and tapes of other foreign languages and both the kit and the hanyou learned the language by heart in a matter of days. This sorely vexed the little miko since at that time it was taking her eons to master the English language. So, with the help of her youkai friends they all learned the language proficiently.

Thus, helping her friends to understand the American music that she so enjoyed. Kagome smiled at the memory as she hefted the back pack on and started to follow Inuyasha down the well.

oOo


Moments later, Inuyasha stretched out his arms and inhaled deeply as he landed gracefully on the lip of the well. He turned and hefted Kagome up effortlessly and gently put her on the snow covered ground. He took her back pack and waited for the kit to pound into Kagome with his bear hug.

“Oi, Shippo, you really need to start being more careful with Kagome, your getting bigger and you could hurt her.”

“It’s alright Inuyasha.” she said as she fell to the ground giggling with Shippo in her arms.

“What did you bring me this time Kagome?”

He asked than stuck his tongue out at Inuyasha.

Kagome was getting off the snow covered ground and wiping the back side of her pants from the wetness that started to form in a big circle. Inuyasha watched her and saw the big wet spot.

“Ha, Shippo now you made it look as if Kagome wet herself.”

Embarrassed now, Kagome twirled to look at the hanyou. He jumped in surprised as he noticed her anger at his comment.

“SIT BOY!”

THUD

“Why’d you do that for I was only…”

“SIT BOY!”

“AAARG”

Shippo sat on Kagome’s shoulder and commented on Inuyasha’s immatureness as Kagome walked the short distance to the village.

Inuyasha was finally released from the spell with his face all red for having been in the cold snow.

“Why that wench, I oughta…Ow.”

Inuyasha smacked his hand down on his neck and picked the little flea off his flesh.

“Good to taste you again master Inuyasha.”

“Myouga, what did I tell you…”

“I know, I know, but, I’m just a flea my Lord, can’t help what I was made to do.”

“Well, what brings you here?”

“I came to talk to all of you; I’ve heard rumors of Naraku’s demise.”

Upon hearing that Inuyasha went sprinting toward the village.

~Later that night~

Miroku stood out in the cold weather, looking at his gloved hand and rubbing the prayer beads. He heard all that the flea told them. Naraku was destroyed, but that couldn’t be because Miroku still had his wind tunnel.

Myouga than hopped up to Miroku and began to read his palm and told him to expect to die by late spring. Everyone gasped and paled while faint blue shock formed around Miroku’s eyes and across his cheeks since his breathing had stopped; he swore that he almost pist his pants.

Myouga bit him for a few seconds before telling the monk that he lied. Miroku still in shock belatedly smacked at the flea and as he seen Inuyasha do he held the flea in his fingers and squished him for his dirty joke.

“Such is the life of a flea.” Myouga stated as he floated down to the ground. Without saying anything or looking at anybody Miroku stood up and walked out of the hut and this is where he has been for the last hour. Staring at his hand, in the snow; he was left to his thoughts, dreams, and nightmares. Earlier, he had heard Sango approach but didn’t wish to speak to her. He sensed her reach out to him but recoiled and retreated when he made no movement at all to respond to her. Kagome too came out briefly to console him but she couldn’t help him either. He later heard Inuyasha tell the girls and the kit to go to sleep and leave him to his own thoughts.

“Arigato Inuyasha.” Replied Miroku softly knowing his friend heard him as he continued to stare out into the nothingness of the cold winter night.
---------------------

It had been two weeks since the last winter rain brought spring behind it. The trees were beginning to bud and fresh grass were beginning to sprout as the weather started to get warmer. Even Miroku smiled against the sun. Since that night, Miroku had been withdrawn and unsociable.

“It’s good to see you smile again Houshi-sama.”

Without opening his eyes or turning to her__he responded.

“The spring brings hope to all those who are living.”

His dark circles under his eyes began to worry Sango. She stood beside him, touching her shoulder to his arm. She looked up to see his profile and his usually jovial face was covered in melancholy. No, it was deeper than that. Kagome called it depression. Sango believed her; he hadn’t caressed or fondled her bottom in weeks. He didn’t eat, he didn’t sleep and he doesn’t smile his flirtatious smile and when she finally saw him smile into the warmth of the sun she thought too carelessly that he had tossed his blues away. She was wrong. His smile was twisted in dejected irony.

“Houshi…you are still alive. You are not dead.”

“Yet….Sango….” He fingered his rosary and frowned against the sight of his hand.

“Houshi…”

He turned and gave her a winning smile, but she could see that his smile failed to reach into his eyes. Hers became blurry with tears as she could no longer look at him.

“I’m so sorry Sango for making you worry for me. Please don’t.”

Again he left her side without so much as a pat, pinch or rub. She purposefully positioned herself to bring him out of his own misery, to fondle her once again so that she could smack him. She wanted her Houshi-sama back.

“Sango are you alright?” Kagome asked walking up beside her friend; she saw the altercation but didn’t interfere.

“It’s Houshi-sama…that void of his will not take him Kagome do you hear me! I will find Naraku or his incarnates and punish them for the torment that he…that he has to suffer.”

Sango wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

“It will be ok Sango, I promise, it will be alright.”

Kagome said choking back some of her own tears.

Miroku walked ahead of the girls. Shippo sat on Inuyasha’s shoulders and Miroku held Kirara and petted her absently.

“Inuyasha, if…when…(sigh)…take care of Sango.”

“Keh, snap out of it Miroku, you’ll be fine. Myouga said he was joking right? And besides this isn’t the first time Naraku has gone MIA. Like Myouga said it was just a rumor, Naraku is obviously alive if your wind tunnel isn’t gone and we’re going to destroy the bastard, so shut up about all this crap got it?”

Miroku walked in front of Inuyasha and looked the hanyou square in the eye.

“Regardless of what you might think I simply ask that you honor my death wish ok.”

He said through gritted teeth.

Inuyasha looked at the monk strangely before nodding his ok. He could have sworn he saw gold flash through Miroku’s eyes.

“Feh, you’re always so damned dramatic, let’s get moving we have an obscure stone to find.”
=========================================================================
A/N: Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Thanks you adeaneri for your review. Never saw Naraku in that light either but I had wondered what if he was betrayed by his own incarnates? Anyway people, my son is finally starting Kindergarden whoot whoot! So, now, I've just got one more at home and I wonder what kind of time that would leave me to write. My husband changed his hours again, he'll be working 10 hr shifts but will be off on Monday's sooo....that only leaves me Tue-Thu for writing if my brain is so inclined to assist me with some ideas. But don't worry about this story, I'm already chapters ahead. lol. Til next time.
