Chapter 3: Houshi-sama are you alright?

The girls soaked in the hot spring and vocally sighed their pleasure of feeling the soothing water surround their sore muscles. It had been a season before they had to travel. It was the first time that they took an entire season off. Naraku has been hiding since the last time they fought him.

It was still painful for Sango to witness her brother Kohaku’s death. They had learned that the boy finally remembered his past deeds and stayed with the evil hanyou just to find his weakness and destroy it. He told his sister that in order for them to destroy Naraku they needed to kill Akago because that was where Naraku’s heart lies.

But with that last battle Kohaku had managed to pull out his shard with his sickle and gave it to Sango with his last breath. It tore Sango apart and even though she had Kagome, Inuyasha, Kirara and Shippo to console her, it was Houshi-sama who helped her the most. He held her crying form, healed her sick heart and kept her living for a new hope, a new beginning. She realized that she wanted to live for him.

She put it in her mind that they would destroy Naraku this time. As Kagome put it, “no ifs ands or buts about it”.

In her minds eye she started to heal because she thought of her Houshi-sama loving her, caring for her, getting her with child and starting a family of her own. But when Myouga came and told them about Naraku’s supposed demise she felt that she needed to be there for Miroku, to give him that hope that he’d given her, but he gave up. He shut her out, left her alone to her fear of losing yet someone else that was closest to her heart when he became so cold and withdrawn.

“Sango what are you thinking about?”

Sango sighed deeply and sunk lower into the water.

“Kagome, I think I’m losing Houshi-sama, well, since Myouga told us about Naraku he’s been avoiding me. He’s been hanging around Inuyasha a lot more and well…”

Sango blushed prettily as Kagome listened to her friend. She too noticed that Miroku hadn’t fondled or flirted with anyone including Sango since he found out he was probably going to die from his curse, since without knowing where Naraku is, he can’t defeat him and break it. She’s been worried for her friend since he isn’t acting at all like himself. She’s also noticed something different about the monk. His aura has changed she couldn’t define it but she didn’t want to say anything to Sango for fear that she would worry her friend.

Kagome sighed deeply too.

“I know, with him hanging out with Inuyasha it leaves little time for you to be with him, it’s nearly the end of May and you haven’t had any real alone time. Maybe he’s scared and doesn’t want to add any stress on you since Kohaku…” Kagome mentally slapped her forehead for her stupidity “oh, I’m so sorry, I was so thoughtless.”

“No it’s alright Kagome; Kohaku is dead and houshi-sama will be too,”

There was a moments pause, “I...I would like to be alone now so, I’m going to go.”

“No, please don’t go, I’ll go; besides I need to talk to Inuyasha.”

‘I need to get him to plot with me. If Miroku passes then he and Sango have a right to do something special before it happens. Sango I am so sorry, I don’t know what I’d do without Inuyasha.’

With tears in her eyes she retreated out of the water and donned on her clothes and headed back into the camp determined to speak with Inuyasha.

*********

Miroku loved it. He was able to spy on Sango’s bath without her even knowing it. He smiled wickedly to himself as he remembered that he lied to Inuyasha saying that he wanted to ‘hunt’ down the dinner. Inuyasha raised a dark eyebrow at him and just responded with a “feh, damn perverted monk.”

“Inuyasha I am hurt, surely after all this time you don’t still think that I would lie to you?”

His answer was a growl. Miroku smiled again, ‘I guess I can see now that Inuyasha already knew the workings of my mind when I was being ecchi. He sensed it on me, hmm I never thought of that angle.’

He tossed his nose up in the air and concentrated really hard to smell Sango out. He wasn’t nearly as good with his sense of smell like Inuyasha, but when it came to Sango, well, it’s safe to say that his locating her and picking up her scent was another story.

But right now his instincts told him that Sango was very sad. He frowned now as he stood behind a tree and heard her comment to the young supple miko.

“Sango what are you thinking about?”

“Kagome, I think I’m losing houshi-sama. Well, since Myouga told us about Naraku he’s been avoiding me. He’s been hanging around Inuyasha a lot more and well….”

“I know, with him hanging out with Inuyasha it leaves little time for you to be with him, it’s nearly the end of May and you haven’t had any real alone time. Maybe he’s scared and doesn’t want to add any stress on you since Kohaku…oh, I’m so sorry, I was so thoughtless.”

“No it’s alright Kagome; Kohaku is dead and houshi-sama will be too,”

There was a moments pause, “I...I would like to be alone now so, I’m going to go.”

“No, please don’t go, I’ll go besides I need to talk to Inuyasha.”

He heard Kagome get out of the hot pool and he sunk back further behind the tree. He smelled her sadness. He looked at his wind tunnel again. He hasn’t been giving it much conscience thought since he learned of his body’s senses transforming. He loved the feel of this strength in him and marveled at Inuyasha even more.

He could understand why the hanyou would be upset whenever he became a regular mortal on a moonless night. Even though he was still relatively human, these new powers always felt like it belong to him and he didn’t think he’d know how to be without them. But he knew why he avoided the taijiya. To look upon her without her knowing only brought back painful memories of his dreams.

He turned to spy on her. She was submerged under the water and when she rose her breast bounced out of the water with a sleekness that he got to see all new with his quarter youkai ability. Something within him growled low. All of a sudden he felt a raw primal animalistic beast within him. Sango took the soft liquid soap that Kagome had brought with her and squeezed some into her hand. She began to rub it around her face, neck, arms and breast. Again Miroku was stirred with a feeling of lust that he never once felt to this degree it was like he couldn’t resist the urge to pounce on her. He wanted to taste that flesh and maul her til she cried out in ecstasy.

“Oh Kami” he panted as he continued to watch her clean that most feminine part of her body with innocent sensuality. He growled again and noticed that he smelt the metallic components to blood…his blood…he looked at his hands and he noticed that where his nails were, now stood small claws that dug into the palms of his hands.

“Kagome…is that you?”


Miroku froze as he realized that he must have been too loud, Sango was already wrapped in her kimono holding hirakuso in her hands. He moved but he should have known that she would suspect a youkai since she was trained to slay them. She raised her bone weapon over her head and was about to throw when he came out.

“Sango, it is just I Miroku.”

“Houshi? What were you doing? Were you spying on my bath?” She said with flushed cheeks as she peered into the dark.

“No, it was a mistake. I saw Kagome go back; I waited a minute but did not see you so I came to check in on you.” He hoped that she didn’t sense something amiss about him because he still felt that lust filled animal creeping in his head telling him to take this woman. ‘How did Inuyasha do this for three years? Please Kami help me calm down.’ He couldn’t believe the struggle he had with his conscience to leave her alone, the beautiful woman with the long firm legs that were strong enough to ride him…’

“ARRG”

“Houshi-sama! Sango ran as she saw him hit the ground in pain. She hugged him to her wet kimono filled body and he groaned again, more like a growl.

“Get…a…away…from…me.” He snarled in a voice so thick Sango would have never recognized had she not seen the houshi in front of her. However, she threw herself on to him and clutched his robes with fierceness.

“I can’t… if the void is taking you; I’m going with you…you don’t have to do it alone.”

She hugged him tighter tears streaking her ivory face. He turned toward her gripping her arms tightly, he shook violently. Sango gasped at this strength and cried further. “You must be in so much pain…” she said brokenly. He didn’t look at her but growled.

“You must leave me Sango…go…I’ll be fine. I’m fine!”

Shaking her head vigorously her tears falling from her face like diamonds she yelled at him.

“You baka! You don’t have to do this alone!”

Miroku threw his head back and growled in an anguished cry.
