Miroku

[Kwokinator]

"Alright, alright..." Kwok stopped testing out his new attributes and looked at Inu-Yasha.

"Where're we going?"

[Carthrat]

"Good question. Oi, Kagome! Where are we going?"

Kagome looked around a little, trying to focus her senses. Then-

"Actually.. there's a shard somewhere around the villiage. I'm not sure where it is, though..."

Inu-Yasha nodded, thinking quickly.

"Ok! I'll go look this way! Kagome, you go with Miroku! Sango, you go with Shippou! When you find it, yell."

The group split up, and Kagome moved next to Miroku. "Well, let's go!" she said, walking off.

[Kwokinator]

Kwok shrugged.  Guess they were still looking for Shiikon Shards...

"Lead the way, cutie."

He did a double-take. Cutie?  He NEVER says that to girls...

[Carthrat]

Kagome ignored Miroku's words. Honestly, you'd think he'd grow up...

They wandered throughout the villiage. It was a fairly pleasent villiage. Many feudal era huts littered the ground, along with large rice paddies. A river travelled across the length of the town, and a larger hut than the rest was in the centre.

The odd couple checked the outskirts of the villiage, covered by a fairly dense forest. Large amounts of trees soon became prevalent, and it seemed a little dark.

There was a flicker of movement within one of the trees.

"Ah! The Shikon shard! It's there!" shouted Kagome, sounding happy.

A youkai dropped out of the trees, said shard imbedded firmly in it's head.

It didn't look like much. Kinda like an overgrown monkey with swords for arms..

Swords that were glowing with some kind of white light.

Swords that seemed to give a trail of absolute coldness...

Oh, the fact that it seemed to have blocks of ice for feet may be somewhat disturbing.

The beast looked at Kagome, and growled out, "Shikon.. no... tama..." before lunging in, attempting to bite her head off.

[Kwokinator]

Kwok breathed a sigh of relief.  Good thing she didn't notice his slip... otherwise it could get somewhat embarassing.

He looked into the direction of where Kagome said the Shiikon Shard was.  Much to his dismay, he saw a youkai instead, a shard glowing in said youkai's forehead.

"Oh no..." he put his palms to his forehead. "Youkais are much tougher when they absorbed a shard... I remember that from the manga..."

"Oh no you don't!" Kwok yelled as the youkai leapt towards Kagome. "No one hurts a girl when I'm around!"

Guess now is as good a time to test out my abilities as ever...

Giving himself a good launch with his back foot, he flew at the youkai with a flying kick aimed at the demon's temple.

[Carthrat]

The youkai, busy trying to bite Kagome, only had time to twist out the way of Miroku's kick, which went flying into a tree.

Turning around and forgetting Kagome for the moment (who stood up and started running), it looked into Miroku's face and ROARED, before charging forward, arms blurring.

[Kwokinator]

Kwok kicked in a downwards direction at the tree as he met it, propelling himself slightly upward and landing harmlessly onto his feet.

Turning back towards the youkai, he wasn't happy to find that it was moving towards him with blurring arms.

"Oh shit..." he muttered.  Panicking, he broke off into a run into the trees, trying to think of what he could do against a demon.

[Carthrat]

Crashing through undergrowth, weed and grass, Miroku made quite an easy trail for the youkai to run upon.

The youkai was gaining on Miroku. It raised it's swords to strike-

And was promptly sliced in two by a giant boomerang.

"Honestly, Miroku. You should be able to deal with such a simple youkai," muttered Sango, catching her boomerang. "What's wrong with you today?"

[Kwokinator]

"I don't know!" Kwok walked over next to Sango and looked at the late demon. "I'm not even Miroku!"

"But thanks..." he said, putting an arm around around her shoulders.

Where his hand casually and unknowingly drooped/wandered down to the girl's chest before he caught himself.

Dammit.... what's happening to me today...?

[Carthrat]

*Thud!*

The flat side of Sangos boomerang smacked Miroku on the head, causing him to collapse.

"Honestly. You're such a lech."

Unnoticed by Sango, the youkai had begun to shape itself back together...

[Kwokinator]

"Ow..." Kwok rubbed the back of his head gingerly. "You didn't have to hit me that hard, you know..."

"And I'm not a lech!" he said indignantly. "I... I don't know what's coming over me..."

His senses told him that danger was imminent and nearby.  Turning to the direction of his alarm, he saw that the youkai was almost done regenerating.

"Oh shit..."

[Carthrat]

Kwok couldn't react in time before the youkai reformed itself, leapt over to Sango, and slahed a cut across her chest.

The wound seemed to crystillize, and Sango dropped to the ground, powerless.

The youkai raised it's arms to finish her..

[Kwokinator]

Kwok growled as Sango collapsed onto the ground.  Attacking him was one thing, but attacking a girl was another thing.  The youkai will PAY for attacking his girl.

Wait a second.  My girl?  That's Miroku's girl!  What the hell?

He quickly shook his head to bring himself out of the thought.  There was more pressing matter at hand.

Sprinting over to where Sango's body was, he picked up her boomerang and sent it hurling towards the youkai's head to try to severe its supply of the Shiikon shard's power.

[Carthrat]

Unfortunately, because neither Miroku or Kwok were good at throwing boomerangs, its simply flew over and clonked the youkai on the head.

Which, of course, drew it's direct and prompt attention.

Once again, it charged at Kwok, leaving a bleeding Sango lying prone on the ground...

[Kwokinator]

"Shit," Kwok muttered as the boomerange missed its intended target.

Breaking out into a run as the youkai began charging, he weaved from tree to tree in search of a way that could kill off the youkai while frantically staying clear of any attacks.
