Author's notes: OMG! I'm SO sorry! My computer's been evil and not let me use the internet a lot! So I haven't been able to put up a new chapter...So I didn't write one .o; But. I'm writing one now :D So feel happy. I just don't feel like replying to reviews ;-; Sorry.
Disclaimer: You know, one of these days, when I'm famous, and have my OWN characters, I won't have to write stuff like this anymore. :D Until that day... -Sigh-
A Midnight Stir..
Miroku didn't sleep that night. Not. At. All. He instead paced around the house, trying to think of how to save him self from this doom.
Nothing came to his head.
Well, except for one plan, make sure Sango found out that he was human before they took him to the vet, but that seemed very unlikely. Oh well. Desperate times call for desperate measures. If he wanted to keep his manhood, he would have to prove his was human. Now.
Sighing mentally, Miroku slipped around the corner leading to Sango's room, and sleekly brushing up against the door, pushing it open with his weight, he slipped in.
Sango was sleeping, snuggled tightly against her pillow, curled up in a tight ball, snoring slightly every now and then. Miroku watched her for a moment, before jumping up onto her bed next to her, careful not to wake her up, and gazed at the clock on her bedside table.
3:00 A.M.
Okay, fine, so it wasn't morning yet, and she'd probably be groggy, and wouldn't guess right or anything, and he wouldn't get anywhere, but he HAD to wake her up! Quickly planting himself on the pillow over her head, he sat, and began to meow. And Meow. And Meow. And Meow.
This was getting him NO where... She didn't even stir! Hissing to himself, he began pawing at her hair, and her face. Not working! Not working! Mrrow.. He stood up, and walked over to her hand, placing his mouth near her wrist, he opened his mouth, and sunk his teeth in. Hard. Ah-ha! Her eyes were fluttering open. She was sleepily glancing up towards him... opening her mouth to speak.
"What do you want cat?"
She groaned, looking up at Miroku with just a hint of annoyance. He let go of her hand. Well, Okay, more then a hint. That was the thing though. What did he want? He knew he wanted to wake her up, yes, he got that, and that he wanted to show her he was human. But... How? Gazing up at the ceiling for a moment, Miroku thought quickly, racking his brain for ideas. He could meow the alphabet or something. Nah-- too easy; she'd think it was some trick he learned. He could... Walk on two feet! ... She'd still think it was a trick. Pausing, he continued to think... and think... and thin- Yes! That was it! The light bulb lit up, his ears perked, and his eyes sparkled. He knew how! Gazing back down at Sango, an excited look still on his face, ...he found out she was asleep.
Perfect.
He had to figure out how to wake her up... and keep her awake for GOOD.
...That's when a second good idea reached the cat's head, and purring to himself, he jumped of her bed, and headed towards the window in the living room.
He had some hunting to do.
-------
Okay, so maybe paws aren't as useful as hands, but when you need to, you can still open a window. Miroku had discovered this over the long 45 minutes it took him to open the window.
Boy did he miss opposable thumbs.
Yet, paws with claws are EXTREMELY useful when you need to crawl down a wall to the outside.
Which is what he had to do.
When Miroku reached the ground, he started to look immediately. Mouse, bird, chipmunk... any small creature would do. He just had to grab one, and bring it into Sango's room. Then she'd be up and awake trying to catch the scurrying creature. THEN he could show her what he needed. It was perfect.
-------
About 20 minutes later, he was back in the apartment, a chipmunk in his mouth. It was still alive, oh yes. He had just caught it by the neck, temporarily paralyzing it. Add the fact that it was scarred, and it wouldn't even TRY to move. It wouldn't dare...
Miroku had learned that it was easier to get the window shut then it was to open it, so he got back inside the house with the window shut MUCH faster, and was soon off to Sango's room. Wouldn't she be happy? I mean, he had brought her in a chipmunk. Being a human, she would think he was trying to show of his hunting skills. She wouldn't even realize his plan. Slinking once more into her room, he began meowing again, and this time, jumped onto her bed, and dropped the chipmunk on her face.
What a wake up call.
He paused, watching the animal slowly regain its ability to move, and also watched Sango. Yes, she was slowly waking up... Good. This was all going according to plan.
"Go away caaaat!"
She whined, slowly opening her eyes.
Miroku couldn't help but purr in laughter, as he watched her eyes focus on the chipmunk on her face, and her mouth began to open in a ...
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
She screeched, and jerked violently. The chipmunk flew off her face and onto the floor, where it began running around scarred. Sango leapt out of bed, and jumped to the floor, looking around. Her eyes were wide with fear.
What? It was ONLY a chipmunk... Harmless things they are. Yet, this was actually pretty amusing. Miroku watched as Sango ran out of her room, yet came back in seconds later with a butterfly net in her hand...
Wonder where that came from.
He then proceeded to watch for the next 25-30 minutes as Sango attempted to catch the chipmunk. When she finally had, she was panting, and looked wide awake.
That was good. VERY good.
She then left, going to take the animal outside, Miroku supposed.
His opportunity to get to work.
He looked around her room, until he found a piece of paper, and a pencil. He then placed the paper on the floor, and kept the pencil in his mouth.
He then got to work.
Very sloppily, yet legible, Miroku spelled out the words on the paper.
'I am Miroku. A human.'
Backing away from his work when he was done, he waited for Sango to come back in. Yet, when she did, she looked tired, and ready to retire to bed.
Not just yet..
He followed her to her pillow, and sat in front of her, meowing. She already had her eyes shut though, and when they fluttered open, the looked anything but happy.
"What?"
She hissed through her teeth, before her eyes settled on the paper. Miroku purred as he watched her eyes follow the words he had spelled out. Yet, she didn't speak... because before she opened her mouth to say anything, she was once again snoring.
Oh well. She had read it. She would know he was human and say so in the morning. So long neuterization!
Tossing the paper to the floor, Miroku curled up in the pillow next to hers. He fell asleep purring.
-------
The next morning when Miroku awoke, he noticed Sango was already out of bed. He wasn't human yet... Odd... but, oh well, as soon as she saw his face, she would remember. He stretched slightly, clawing at the pillow a bit, before hopping off the bed, heading towards the kitchen.
Purring, and strolling in, he came in just in time to hear the words come from Sango's mouth.
"I had the WEIRDEST dream last night... Little Mr. Black cat had written on a piece of paper that his name was Miroku, and he was a human, funny huh, Kagome?"
Kagome laughed a little, saying.
"Pretty amusing..." She paused, as if thinking, before saying, "Miroku... That's a pretty neat name though... Hmm... Miroku the black cat..."
It's not working M-chan! You're not gonna turn back in time for the vet's XD! ANYWAYZ, Sorry for the crappy chapter... I have to go soon to play putt- putt so I was trying to finish it X.x; Forgive the crudity. So, enjoy, -Cough-Andreview-Cough- :D;;
