~Miroku's Decision~
Chapter 2


"Why do you ask, Sango?"

"Well..I..Oh just forget about it,"Sango threw a silly grin and let go of Miroku's hand.

Kirara pounced at Sango's heels. Miroku stood dumbfounded in a mound of ants.

"Ack!! They're bitting me!!!"Miroku started to run and kick his feet.

The sight made Sango laugh and grab her stomach. Kirara sat at Sango's feet and followed Miroku's dance with her eyes. Miroku lifted his robes and ran towards a small creek. He let out a breath of relief.

"Are you alright, Miroku?"Sango spoke through laughter.

"Yes, I will be fine,"Miroku crawled up to the bank and sat with his hands propping him up.

Sango walked to him and sat beside the poor monk with red feet. Sango reached into her pouch and pulled out a wrapped leaf. Inside was a orangish substance. Sango scooped up a small amount on her index and middle fingers, and rubbed it on Miroku's ankles.

"This may sting, but it will get rid of the burning from the ant's venom,"Sango's delicate hands grazed Miroku's hot skin.

"Thank you,"Miroku touched Sango's hand.

"There, all better!"Sango stood up and began to walk,"Well, are you coming or not? We need to make as much time as we can before sunset. There still is the possibility of demons lurking in the forrests. Even though Narraku is dead, I feel an evil presence in this area."

Miroku jogged to catch up to her, the rings on his staff jingled. They walked side by side, Kirara at Sango's feet. The breeze danced through the trees, Kirara stops.

"Kirara? What is wrong?"Miroku looked over his shoulder.

A sudden movement, from the corner of his eye, caught his attention. Miroku froze, Sango noticed he wasn't beside her and she looked to see where Miroku was staring.

"Miroku.."Sango whispered.

"Sshh, there is something in the bushes,"Miroku's face was hard and unwavering.

Sshwwwiiiissh, the forrest whispered then went quiet. Miroku, Sango, and Kirara were silent for a few seconds and then began to walk. The noise returned, only this time, a tiger-like demon jumped out at the two wanderers.

"Kirara!"Sango called out as the demon chased after the little cat demon.

"Rrraooooww!"Kirara burst into flames and transformed into her much bigger self.

The tiger demon stood on all fours growling, Kirara as well. The two were the same in size. Miroku grasped his staff, Sango held her slaying weapon(I don't know how to spell the name, and I have nothing at hand to show me how).

"Sango, what demon is this?"Miroku started to tighten his grip around his staff.

"It is a scavenging demon. But if it's a scavenger, why would it attack us?"Sango was confused.

"Either way, it is a threat."

The demon pounced at Kirara and the two engaged in a paw-to-paw combat. They wrestled around and a single yelp was heard. Kirara lay on the ground and transformed back into her miniature size.

"Kirara!"Sango ran up to the fallen demon.

The scavenger demon spun around and charged at Sango.

"Sango!!!"

Sango twirled around and stood up to run, but she was too late. The tiger demon pounced and chomped at Sango. Luckily, the tiger only bit a part of Sango's clothing. The demon pulled back and ripped Sango's clothes, sending her down a small hill and hitting her head on a tree stump.

Miroku charged spinning the staff. He reached into his robes and pulled out a paper(once again, I can't remember the name). The tiger jumped at Miroku, but he lept into the air. As the tiger passed, Miroku slapped the paper on the tiger's head.

Miroku landed on one knee and saw the tiger running towards him. Miroku stood up and raised his staff. The tiger jumped and Miroku brought his staff down onto the tiger's forehead. The tiger fell to the ground.

Miroku ran over to the unconcious Sango and scooped her into his arms. He stood up with Sango's limp body and walked over to a clearing in the forrest. Kirara transformed into her demon form and lay on the ground. Miroku propped Sango on Kirara's side.

"Sango, Sango, wake up,"Miroku gently tapped her cheek.

"Uh..Mir-Miroku?....What happened?"Sango's eyes flickered open and she tried to sit up.

"Lie back down, you took a big hit to the head. You should be fine after some rest,"Miroku brushed Sango's bangs from her eyes.

"My ankle hurts the most,"Sango smiled up at Miroku.

"Really? I figured your head would,"Miroku blinked in bewilderment.

That was a hard blow to the head. And she's fine? Hmm, she must have a harder head than I thought.. Miroku tilted his head and cocked an eyebrow.

"Miroku!!"Sango slapped him in the face.

"What?!"Miroku brought his hand to his stinging face.

"I said my 'ankle', not my nipple!!" Sango sat back clutching her breast.

Miroku's face reddened with embarrassment, rather than Sango's hand print.
