Author's Note:
Jynxie: Yes, yes…I know that I promised a really long chapter, and I'm working on it, I swear. But I feel that the beginning of that chapter didn't explain a few things, so I made this…It's sorta like an extra thing…or something…(shrugs) But—uh…expect the next, original chapter in like…I wanna say a week? Heh…(glances around nervously) Please don't hurt me!
Muse: (glares) Pansy.
Chapter 9
After Thoughts
Miroku never thought much of the word commitment. It wasn't that he despised the word, just simply that he never thought that he would have to deal with it. His Wind Tunnel being the main reason. That and the fact that he came from a long line of…slightly beautiful women addicted males. Or perverts by other's standards.
Sure, he needed an heir to continue his quest to defeat Naraku if he failed. But actually committing himself to the mother?
Alright, so it was a tad bit shallow and unmonk-like. Nevertheless, he was going to eventually…well—uh…die. And what kind of person would he be to do that to anyone; put them through his death. Especially when it would just be better if he left them…thus, giving them the hope that he was still alive everyday that he wasn't and—
"And where in the hell am I going with this?" Miroku hissed to himself. Honestly, he wasn't actually thinking of committing himself to Kagome, was he?
Especially when she had obviously already committed herself to that evil little half-demon. Who, again, could rip him into manytiny shreds.
It was…annoying…annoying how she would always go back to Inuyasha.
And annoying how he would always let her.
Meanwhile…
"THAT'S IT!" Sango's scream could be heard throughout the cave.
Ginta cowered back in fear, holding up the closest thing he had to defend himself.
A stick.
"Back you evil woman, BACK!" He screeched, swinging the object like a sword, "I was told to feed you! You have no right to hurt me!"
"You damn little lackey! You had damn well better LET ME GO!"
That woman was getting bolder every second. Almost to the point where Ginta was almost scared.
"Please have mercy, vile creature—NO, not the arm—No, please—AHHHH!"
Almost…
Inuyasha was tired. It had been three days, and there was still no lead on Sango.
If it hadn't of been for those damn smoke bombs, he could have caught their scent, but they were obviously clever.
'Probably cat demons or something…' he thought bitterly, 'Or wolves…' his eyes widened.
Kouga wouldn't have really kidnapped Sango, would he? What reason would he have?
To learn more about the shards, maybe? Or…to get us to come to their side of the mountains?
'But…why would he take Sango, when Kagome…' he shook his head. It couldn't have been Kouga. Because Kouga wanted Kagome not Sango. And even if he accidentally nabbed the demon slayer instead of Kagome he would have brought her right back…right?
'Yeah…so…That eliminates Kouga.' He nodded, mentally patting himself on the back. 'Good, because the longer I don't have to see that jackass' face, the better.'
He sighed, leaning farther back onto the back of the tree. 'Now…speaking of Kagome…I wonder what her and the monk were talking about for so long a couple nights ago…since, they haven't spoken since and all…'
His ears twitched. 'Oh, well…she was probably just talking to him about Sango, and it turned awkward or something…'
