Broken Heart Healed

AN; I do not own Inuyasha or any of it's characters

Chapter 3: Interruption

As soon as Miroku saw Kagome walk away he decided to go after her. “Where do you think you’re going monk,” asked an irritated Inuyasha. “I am going to keep an eye on lady Kagome,” he answered while not bothering to look back. ‘Someone has to’ he added in his mind. “I don’t see what for. With the temper that wench has a demon would be lucky to get away,” said Inuyasha laughing at his own comment. Miroku paid him no attention. Sango on the other hand, decided to introduce her hiraikotsu to the back of Inuyasha’s head.


Miroku found Kagome by the tree she found Inuyasha pinned to. He slowly held Kagome while she cried. ‘Stupid hanyou. He’d be lucky to end up with a girl half as perfect as Kagome’ thought Miroku. “What’s wrong with me Miroku,” asked Kagome sadly while snuggling closer to him. He hated to see her like this. “Kagome, I told you there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re an intelligent, caring, strong, brave, and beautiful young lady. Any guy would be lucky to have you.” “Thank you,” she said while blushing. “But that’s not what I meant.” “Oh,” said Miroku confused. “I meant what’s wrong with me. Why can’t I stop loving Inuyasha,” asked Kagome. She didn’t notice Miroku’s face reddening over his misinterpretation. “I think you just haven’t found the right man to take your mind off of that hanyou,” answered Miroku smoothly.
Kagome’s cries had faded and was now thinking if Miroku could be right. Maybe she did need another guy no help her get over Inuyasha. Kagome slowly looked up into Miroku’s face. She saw sadness and concern on his face. As they kept looking at each other Kagome noticed something. ‘Miroku is quite handsome’ she thought. She wasn’t sure why she had never noticed before. When she realized what had just gone through her mind her face turned a light shade of red. ‘Buddha she’s lovely when she’s flushed’ thought Miroku. Slowly he started to lower his face towards hers. ‘What is he doing? Is he going to kiss me’ wondered Kagome. Her heart was starting to beat faster. She knew she should pull away, but her heart wouldn’t allow her to. ‘Sango will be crushed if she sees us like this’ thought Kagome. Yet even that couldn’t bring her to pull away. As Miroku got closer Kagome could feel his warm breath on her lips. Before the distance between them could disappear Miroku jumped up and got in a fighting stance, leaving Kagome surprised. Before Kagome could say anything Miroku said, “There’s something coming towards us.”
Out of the forest came one of Naraku’s puppets accompanied by many of his poisonous insects. Miroku instinctively pushed Kagome behind him. “Stay behind me lady Kagome. I’ll protect you,” ordered Miroku. ‘I swear on my life I’ll do whatever it takes to keep you safe Kagome’ thought Miroku. Kagome looked at him with scared eyes. The puppet then lunged one of it’s tentacles towards Miroku, but before it could hit him something stopped it. When Miroku looked back up he saw Inuyasha and Sango fighting the puppet. “You’re lucky we made it on time,” yelled Inuyasha. Just when Miroku thought they were going to win he noticed there were two other evil presences approaching them. The two presences were twin drangon youkia that were under Naraku’s control. One dragon was a scaly green color, while the other was a bloody red shade. They attacked Inuyasha and Sango. They had already defeated the puppet, but these two enemies were much stronger. “Miroku, take Kagome back to the village. Sango and I will deal with these two,” ordered Inuyasha while attacking the red dragon. Miroku nodded and quickly started to run with Kagome. No one noticed that the poisonous insects were following Miroku and Kagome. As they stopped to rest, the insects flew towards Kagome. Miroku immediately unsealed his kaazana. Inuyasha and Sango managed to kill the dragons before the heard Kagome’s terrified scream.
