a/n: I will probably read over this. I just did my usual splat on the screen. I will probably put Kouga into this, but he just didn't want to come out. And I do want him to come out. (He has great legs. XD) Oh, and I paraphrased Erma Bombeck. Couldn't help it.

Miroku had experienced many strange things in his short life. Wind tunnels, demons of every imaginable and unimaginable sort, being pick pocketed while groping (yes, it still bothered him)- and while he could not say being kissed by Inuyasha was the strangest of these things it was to be noted among them. Inuyasha’s teeth nibbled. His tongue jabbed. His hands held him with the utmost care, as if her were, well, his lover.
Which he was not. But he understood the thinking. It was flawed thinking, as was usually the case with Inuyasha. But it was easy enough to understand: Claiming Miroku in front of the wolf would force him to give up his plan.
Miroku sighed and closed his eyes. He had to go along. If he did not it would cause more trouble than it was worth. Oh, he never knew sharp teeth could be used to graze the lower lip that way. He tugged at Inuyasha’s robe. He may as well do that trick again and make it somewhat enjoyable.
And put his arms around him. Miroku liked that, too.
And he did. So he did, too. “There.” Miroku broke away for just a second to sit up on his knees so they could press themselves together, from thigh to shoulder. “How’s that?” He smiled.
“Fine.” Inuyasha brushed the hair away from his eyes and smiled back. “Grab my ass.” He barely said it, practically mouthed the words. “Do it.”
And he did.
They kissed that way for as long as they felt that presence behind the bushes. Kouga would get an eyeful, would get the picture, would understand that Miroku was not to be claimed. That he was claimed already.
Wait. There was something wrong. Miroku pulled away.
Inuyasha blinked. “What?”
It was wrong. This would not work. Miroku already told him he was not interested in men. “Damn.” Miroku shook his head. Inuyasha rubbed his thumb against the back of his neck. It felt good- too good.
“What are you two doing?” Oh no. They both looked toward the trees and saw the group looked down on them with shock written al over their faces. The sunset was shining behind them.
They bother felt Kouga’s absence. The bush was clear.
++
“I know what’ll happen, monk. You’ll think you have the situation under control and next thing you know he’s going to be all over you.”
“Like a certain person I know?” Miroku, who was writing an ofuda, raised an eyebrow when Inuyasha turned red. “Oh, don’t bother looking offended Inuyasha. You were the one who wanted to be kissed and groped.”
“That was for show.”
“He keeps saying that.” Kagome rolled her eyes.
“See? Kagome doesn’t believe you.”
“I don’t believe you had a problem with it, either- monk.” Sango sat next to her on a rock. They were like two eagles perched and ready to attack.
“I think this grownup stuff is weird.” Shippo jumped on Kagome’s lap. “Especially this whole thing with Kouga.” He looked up at Kagome. “I thought he liked you.”
“He does.” She shook her head. “He’s just trying to get my attention by flirting with Miroku.”
“It looks like he’s getting Inuyasha to flirt with Miroku, to me.”
“No, he isn’t!” Miroku and Inuyasha both yelled at once.
Sango stood up and looked down at Kagome. “Like I said, he doesn’t have a problem with it.”
“Oh, bullshit!” Inuyasha jumped up and followed Sango as she left the clearing. “Why would you say that?” Miroku quickly rolled his writing kit up and was right behind him, leaving Shippo and Kagome all lone.
“Inuyasha and Miroku, huh?” Kagome rubbed his little tummy.
He just smiled back up at her. “That’s right.”
++
The problem with demons was humans. And the problem with humans? Humans. Kouga scratched his chin as he listened to the voices carried in the wind. So the mutt thought he was going to trick him, huh? That was pretty funny because no one tricked Kouga. No one. In fact, if anyone was doing the tricking….
They didn’t get it. They were human, how could they get it? He already knew he’d get Kagome’s heart. That was a given. After all, he was a Prince, he was strong, he could give her a pack and a home and so many litters of strong pups. And he was a good looking guy. Way better looking than mutt-face. What more could a girl want, right? He wasn’t worried about that. It was that attachment to her group. He admired how loyal she was. He would never change it. But in the end she had to be loyal to him. So there was only one thing to do and one way to do it.
He’d done it before; found small bands of wolves and brought them into the pack. It was usually something performed in front of the entire family. A new member would present, on his hands and knees if he or she was in two legged form, and let Kouga mount them. He would come on their back and mark them with his scent.
Very straightforward stuff.
Humans? That was not so straightforward. Humans mistook mounting for sex and sex for love. Which could be mistaken for loyalty and could work in a pinch. Either way, they were problematic to themselves and to a demon. No matter. It would be worth it to make sure Kagome was his mate.
He thought it all out. Mounting Inuyasha was completely out of the question. He was his rival. He would never submit. And he had that other love interest- the one with that disgusting death smell. (No accounting for taste.) He could just go run away with that dead person and leave them be. Mounting the Slayer was inevitable but impractical. And the little fox demon was still a child- a runt a that. He would have to wait. The cat? Absolutely not. No. But the monk? Females in his pack reported molestation on such a scale that he thought an entire monestary was attacking his bitches. He had a huge appetite that could be used to sway things in Kouga’s direction.
He shook his head and laughed. And there Inuyasha thought he was just trying to make Kagome jealous. “Goes to show what a mutt knows.” He threw a rock into the cavern.
His plan was perfect.
++
Miroku was looking down into the cavern.
“It’s still there.” Inuyasha said over his shoulder.
“I’m thinking.”
“What the hell could take this long to think about?” He was so bored following Miroku. The only thing the guy did all day long was think. “It’s a big crack in the ground. It’s not going anywhere. If you fall in it will hurt.”
“I will die.”
“What?”
“If I fall in there I will die.”
“Whatever.” Inuyasha shook his head. “I’ll be the one to push you in if I catch you talking to Kouga.”
“Why do you care?” His voice was so quiet. The wind was so rough.
“Why do I-“ he cursed. “We went through this already. I’m not going to let Kouga influence anyone in our group. It’s that simple.”
“That simple.” Miroku smiled.
“What?” Inuyasha grabbed his shoulder. “What are you smiling about?”
“Nothing, I-“ He smiled again. “Inuyasha you’re absurd.” He shrugged him off and walked away. Inuyasha was left standing in front of the sunset, glaring in the wind.
“And where do you get off calling me absurd, you pervert?”
Miroku never stopped as he waved and kept walking.
“Hey! You can just leave me! Come back here!” Inuyasha looked away and cursed. “He’s really going to make me do it.” He shook his head and cursed again. “I’m gonna to have to kill a monk.” So he ran.
Ran like a dog after his kill. Ran through the tall grass, leaving torn stalks and a groove in the ground. But where was his prey?
He stopped and looked around, blinking with grass his hair. “What the-“
He looked up and saw Miroku coming down on him.
Oh, shit. “Fuck!” He rolled away. Instinct told Inuyasha to jump up- Miroku would have landed at this point surely? And he was right. The Monk was on the ground, walking away like nothing was happening.
“You have some nerve, Miroku!”
“So you say.” Miroku was walking toward the trees- and that was exactly the kind of place Kouga would be.
Inuyasha landed on the ground and growled. A tingling sensation went up his spine. That was exactly where Kouga was. And the monk knew it. He even had the nerve to turn around and grin at Inuyasha.
“You’re asking for it!” Inuyasha didn’t hold back this time. He was as fast as wind when he darted toward Miroku and snatched him up over his shoulder. He didn’t know what pissed him off more. The fact that Miroku did that or the fact that he was laughing.
“I knew you would do that.”
Inuyasha jumped away, far away into the deepest ravine of the cavern. “You want him, don’t you?” He felt so angry, so twisted up inside. He threw him up against the rock wall and leaned in close to get a good look before he bent his head to sniff the scruff of his neck. Yes, he could smell the heat in the damn pervert’s blood.
He kept laughing. “Damn you!” He pressed his shoulders back and shut that sound up. With his mouth.
“I knew you would do that, too,” Miroku whispered against his mouth before he kissed him back.
