Miroku

[Kwokinator]

Kwok walked over and patted Kagome on the shoulder.

"Don't worry about it, Kagome," he said. "It's all good.  Don't get mad over it.  Just chill."

"C'mon," he motioned to the direction of the departed Inu-Yasha as he began walking. "Let's go get him."

[Carthrat]

Kagome blinked. Since when did Miroku say, "Let's chill."?

Miroku had already gotten a few metres in front of her. Stumbling, she walked after him.

"H.. hey, wait! What did Inu-Yasha mean by saying you're from my world?"

[Kwokinator]

Kwok stopped walking and looked at Kagome.

"I have no clue if I'm from your world or not," he admitted. "As far as I know, YOU're in the same world as Inu-Yasha.  Different time, same world.  I'm from a completely different world.

[Carthrat]

Kagome blinked.

"Right...."

Shrugging, she walked away from him. <-Must be some houshi thing..->

[Kwokinator]

Kwok shrugged and followed after Kagome.

Who cared if she didn't believe him?  She's in the manga, same as Inu-Yasha.  It wasn't like SHE could help him anymore than Inu-Yasha can.

[Carthrat]

The little group finally arrived at Kaede's hut. Inu-Yasha, being his usual self, barged in, whilst Kagome and Miroku entered silently. Sango had been taken to Kaede already, and was lying on a bed with a bandage around the wound she suffered earlier.

"Well, Kaede-baba, we got another shard. And they're still another million floating around Japan. Not to mention the rest of the world. This is impossible."

Inu-Yasha continued ranting to one side, and everyone pretended to listen to him.

Eventually, he stopped.

"Thank you, Inu-baka. Now, as for the youkai you just vanquished.. did you make sure it was dead?"

Inu-Yasha snorted. "Of course it's dead! It's lying in two pieces! It's probably been eaten by the maggots by now, anyway."

"So you think... but I have sensed another Youkai in the villiage area," replied Kaede. "I only sensed the one today, and I doubt two youkai would attack in the same day."

"Feh! This is just paranoid crap, Kaede-baba. You must be getting senile."

"Nonetheless, I want you three to patrol the villiage tonight. I doubt it will attack in the morning.

In the meantime, I'm sure Kagome and Inu-Yasha have much to catch up on... and that Miroku has a lot of.. 'work' to do.."

[Kwokinator]

Kwok blinked.

"What do you mean, Kaede?" he asked. "What work?"

[Carthrat]

Kaede stared at Miroku incredulously.

"The villiage girls have been awaiting your return for some time, young houshi. Though I can't imagine why.."

[Kwokinator]

Kwok blinked.

"I can't imagine why either..." he shrugged. "Ah well.  No better way to find out than ask.  So where are they?"

[Carthrat]

"They're out in the town square, as usual..." murmured Kaede, sighing.

"Oh, to be young.."

[Kwokinator]

"Alright, thanks," Kwok nodded and turned around to leave. "Thanks, Kaede.  Catch you later, maybe."

"Town square... town square..." he muttered to himself, trying to find his way to said location.

[Carthrat]

As Mirkou left, Kagome turned to Kaede.

"Don't you think he's acting a little oddly lately?"

Kaede shrugged. "He does seem a little out of sorts. I wonder if anythings happened?"

Meanwhile... as Miroku neared the town square..

"Miroku-sama! Come with me, Miroku-sama!"
"Houshi-sammmmmma!"
"Miroku-anata!"
"Anata!"
"MIROKU!"

Evidently, the women of the villiage were happy to see him.

[Kwokinator]

"ICK!" Kwok squealed as the women called him by various... interesting names.  Looking at the women of the village, he unconsciously backed away as he caught the predatory gleam in their eyes.

"Umm..." he tried to think of something safe to say. "What's this about, girls?"

[Carthrat]

The girls blinked, and laughed as one.

One of the taller (and prettier) ones stepped forward and said, "We've been doing this for the past week, Miroku! You should know better than anyone!"

Assorted giggles.

[Kwokinator]

Past week?  What has Miroku been doing behind Sango's back?

"Umm..." Kwok uttered, trying to ignore the girls' rather obvious intent. "Would you believe that I'm not Miroku?"
