Like A Fairytale – Part Ten: Lovers Spat

"Sango? Sango wake up."

"mmm...." Sango moaned, opening her eyes to the light. She was met with a worried Miroku and a small cat....thing.

"Are you okay Sango?" Miroku asked, checking her head for any bruises. Normally, she would have screamed pervert, but he was behaving himself... as far as Sango could tell. Besides, she felt too weak anyway

Not that she'd let Miroku know that.

"I'm fine." she lied, moving to sit up, only to be gently pushed back down, "What's the idea?!"

"You're bleeding." Miroku said simply, wrapping a bandage around Sango's knee. Where he got it, she didn't know.

"Oh...." Sango blushed, "I tripped, it's really not a big deal."

Miroku shrugged and continued wrapping. He'd woken up to Sango's scream and it had scared him. He'd found her as soon as he could, only to see her knocked out with a 'cat' sitting next to her, tails twitching and everything. Her knee was the least of Miroku's worries, but it was the only one he could do anything about at the moment. "Don't want it to get infected now do we?" he smiled, causing Sango to blush a bit harder and shake her head in agreement.

'What's wrong with me?' she thought, hating how hot her face felt. 'it must have something to do with the woods. Some plants pollen or something... I must be allergic.'

"Hey....Miroku? What happened?"

"Actually, I don't know. I may have been there to tell you, but I was currently knocked out."

Sango flushed with embarrassment. "You wouldn't had been knocked out if you weren't such a pervert! 'Bare my children', that's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard! Who says that?!"

(A/N: Enter the faces...)

o.O "I do."

-.- "My point proven."

o.o "But I was serious" Miroku said, looking at her.

*insert cricket chirp*

O.O "W-what?"

*mew*

"What's that?" Sango asked quickly, thankful for the interruption. Miroku sighed.

"I'm not too sure. Looks like a fire-cat."

"I know that, but what is it doing here?" Sango asked, petting the demon gingerly. It immediately took to her, purring and arching its back against Sango's hand. She smiled, and scratched along its neck.

"Kirara...."

"What did you say?" Miroku asked, half hearing.

"Huh?" Sango asked, unaware that she'd said anything.

"You said Kirara, why?"

"Oh.... I don't know, that's what I would name it."

*mew*

"Well, I think it likes it."

"She."

"What?"

"Kirara's a she."

"And how do you know that?"

Sango stopped petting the cat, much to its annoyance, to ponder this. How did she know?

"She looks like a girl."

Miroku sweat dropped and gave up on the subject. If Sango didn't want to believe she was this 'lost princess', she wasn't going to believe. No matter how awesome it would be. After all, Miroku doubted his father would stand for him marrying a peasant, not that it mattered anyway. Miroku wasn't actually thinking that....yeah (A/N: *sigh* denial....*cough*foreshadowing*cough*)

"So you're the little demon that scared me out of my wits." Sango chided as Kirara crawled into her lap.

"It scared you?"

"She"

"She scared you?" Miroku amended, wonder why in Gods name this seemingly wild fire-cat was being so friendly. Gingerly, he reached out his hand to pet her. She hissed.

"I'm guessing it was her, otherwise I probably wouldn't be here with you. I'm still trying to figure out if that's a good thing or not..."

"What do you-"

"You are just so cute!" Sango squealed, completely ignoring anything Miroku said. He sighed. What is it with girls loving small things anyway? There must be some unwritten rule or something...

***********************************************

"Sango!" Kagome piped as she walked into the dining room. It had taken Sango and Miroku a good two hours to make it back to castle. Add that to the endless hours they spent lost in the woods and by now it was well after dark. How they made it back at all is a mystery.

"Hey..." She replied tired, returning the hug. Kikyou looked on, radiating waves of disapproval, but said nothing. Not only was Sango covered in grime and dirt, but she was a servant. Servants and royalty never hugged. Kagome and Sango were obviously unaware of this rule (or just choose no to acknowledge it). Rin didn't seem to care either as she embraced Sango as well.

"Thank the Gods! Sango where were you? What happened? You're bleeding!"

Sango sighed, "It's nothing Rin, I just tripped. We got a bit lost, it's no big deal."

"My as-tooshie it's not a bit deal. Just a bit lost? You two had Sesshoumaru and I worried sick!" Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow to this comment. He never recalled begin worried.... perhaps he missed the feeling...

"With all respects Lady Rin, you sound like a mother." Miroku commented, swiping a steak off Inuyasha's plate.

"Hey! Stupid.... But yeah, 'Mama Rin' and 'Papa Sessie'"

Sesshoumaru fixed his glare to his younger brother while Rin blushed madly, muttering 'That's just crazy... no way.... shut up....'

"Hey, Where's Kuranosuke?" Sango asked, looking around and not seeing him. Miroku muttered, making Inuyasha, who sat next to him, crack up. Sesshoumaru coughed, hiding his smile at the princes comment. (A/N: I'll let ya'll think of what he said...my brains dead right now...) Sango glared, suspecting that whatever Miroku said wasn't very pleasant.

"Why do you always do that?" Sango asked.

"Do what?" Miroku retorted, taking a sip of Inuyasha's Wine.

"Always rant on him. He's never done anything to you!"

"I do not rant on him!"

"You do to! And you always glare at him and try to pick fights!"

"Nu uh! That's Inuyasha!"

"Hey!" He shouted, not exactly comfortable with being brought into the argument. He'd just gotten out of being strangled to death by Kagome, and Sango didn't look like she'd go any softer on him. Rin just sighed, not liking how this was turning out. This all seemed much too familiar. It's not all that easy to stand lovers spats. Especially not two in the same day.... they tend to turn violent.

***********************************************

"Argh! Where is it?!"

"Mi'lord, perhaps this is not the best solution."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean," Kagura stated, stepping out of the shadows, "That it might make finding this jewel harder."

"How so?" Naraku hissed, tearing open a pillow.

"How can I put this in terms you'll understand. Oh yes.... you idiot. If there is a jewel here, you can't possibly find it in this mess." She indicated, waving a hand at the over turned room. Feathers from pillows littered the floor along with shattered vases and broken toys. The princesses room looked like a war zone, all to find a jewel.

Naraku glared at his henchwoman, clearly aggravated at being proven wrong. Reaching his hand out, he grasped the air, strangling an invisible neck. Kagura, in a corner, grasped her own, desperately trying to free her air ways. After a few moments of agonizing torture she dropped to the floor panting, just as Naraku lowered his arm.

"Do not forget Kagura, I hold your life in my hands. Literally. Do. Not. Anger me." He spat, stomping out of the room. Kagura sat against the wall, holding her neck and trying to catch her breath. He would die if it was the last thing she did. Standing to her feet, she waved her hand over the air, returning the room to how it was before. Everything mended back together. All but that eerie music box.
