Unforeseen Obstacles…Chapter 15
Each night I feel the distance that has grown between us open up as lonely as the space between the stars…

Traveling with Sesshomaru was strangely quiet. Miroku was used to the constant banter between his friends. Although Rin chattered occasionally, and Jaken yelled at her, all in all it was very quiet. Sometimes that was peaceful and Miroku was content. Other times, it was lonely. He paused at the point when his friends’ path met his new one, but Sesshomaru told him that they would be a full day behind. Miroku sank into a deep depression. It was relieved at night, the only time he could find peace—lying with Sesshomaru. Still, after nearly a month traveling together, even that lost its tranquility.
Sesshomaru watched Miroku spiral down into darkness and had no idea what to do. While he enjoyed their time together, he couldn’t tolerate how the monk would lay silently beside him, choking back his tears. I wonder if you recognize, that silence now defines us. Sesshomaru watched Miroku go through his evening routine. Rin laughed and played with him, but Miroku, who had once laughed with her, merely smiled sadly. This moping was becoming unbearable. He chose the monk because Miroku had made him happy. Now, neither of them was happy. He knew the human needed his friends, but that he had cut them off to be with him. He knew also that the time was fast approaching where he would wake up alone again. He had hoped they would have more time together before that happened.
Desperately, I try to fight this overwhelming sense that I may never find the strength to change how hopeless we’ve become, Miroku thought as he lay next to Sesshomaru, tired and spent from their evening of passion.
“Speak what is on your mind,” Sesshomaru commanded. Miroku turned his head to look at his demon lover.
“You’d think by now that I’d be over this,” he answered. “Instead I’m feeling sorry for myself.”
“I no longer please you?” Sesshomaru asked, somewhere between angry that a group of humans—or perhaps just one mortal girl—could be more important than he and unsettled by the fact. His mere presence could inspire fear or desire with such intensity that many had died over it. How can I not be enough to make him happy?
“I should be feeling so alive. I feel like something’s missing…”“The woman?”
“Not just Sango. Kagome, Shippo, Kirara… Even InuYasha.” Miroku sighed. Sesshomaru felt the familiar rage rise inside him at the mention of his hanyo brother. He sat up and stared off in the direction of his lover’s friends.
“Then go back to them. Without me—”
“They will still hate me. Damn it, Sesshomaru, I love you. I won’t be happy there, either.”
“The only way you will be happy is if we are all to join together.”
“Which can’t happen,” Miroku agreed.
“We shall see. Sleep now,” Sesshomaru told him, lying down again. He reached out and slid his talons through the black hair and relaxed as Miroku closed his eyes. As soon as the monk was asleep, Sesshomaru stood and dressed. He used his incredible speed to reach his brother’s camp in an hour. The five comrades were still awake, cooking something that smelled awful to Sesshomaru. He hated cooked meat and the smell of it on the fire made his stomach lurch. It was easy enough to control his revulsion as he walked up behind his brother.
“What do you want?” InuYasha asked, not bothering to turn around. The humans and kitsune looked up at him, startled. The woman that Miroku cared for glared at him with hatred.
“Where’s Miroku?” she asked contemptuously. Sesshomaru ignored her.
“I have come to speak with you, brother.” The youkai turned and walked back the way he came, trusting the hanyo to follow. He wasn’t disappointed.
“What do you wanna talk to me about?” InuYasha grunted when they were out of the hearing range of the camp.
“Miroku is unhappy,” Sesshomaru revealed, deciding bluntness was the only way to deal with his half-brother.
“That’s no surprise. Who’d be happy with you?” InuYasha growled. Sesshomaru sighed.
“Perhaps this was a mistake,” Sesshomaru said to goad InuYasha into being reasonable. After all, Sesshomaru didn’t make mistakes.
“Do you mean to tell me you actually give a damn about him?”
“Why would I waste my time talking with you if I did not?” Sesshomaru countered. InuYasha looked surprised as the truth sank in.
“Huh. You tryin’ to tell me he wants to come back?” InuYasha asked. Sesshomaru didn’t answer. They both stared in different directions for a full minute, then InuYasha sighed. “I never thought he should leave in the first place.”
“I do not believe that you are the one preventing him from returning.”
“I’ll talk to Sango. She’s been broody as hell anyway. I don’t think it matters if he’s here or there. At least if he’s here, maybe she can knock some sense into him,” InuYasha looked towards his brother with that last part, but Sesshomaru was already gone. “Feh. Can’t even say good-bye.”
…
To be continued…
The story keeps going in its own direction, despite my attempts to steer it. I never even meant for it to be this long... But hey, I'm not complaining. I had planned for this to be a short little story about Sesshomaru banging Miroku, but noo-o-o-o. They had to fall in lo-o-o-ove. They had to make me love this story. Damn them. Damn my muse for being so disobedient -looks over at muse, he sticks his tongue out and flips authoress the bird- hmph.
Reviewer responses:
Kai: Yes, Sesshomaru came back and Miroku picked him.And of course that never means 'happily ever after'. Especially if I'm writing it.-sings- and the dog came back, the very next day, they thought he was a goner, but the dog came back, he just can't stay away... Okay, so it wasn't just a day later. And no one thought he was dead. -shuts up-
YoukaiObsessed: Thanks! Yeah, he doesn't want to hurt Sango (which is one of the reasons he was being sosneaky about being with Sessshomaru... of course, the main reason being that he's a sneak, keeping in mind his advice to InuYasha about seeing both Kikyo and Kagome at the same time).Hey, I think that rock hit Miroku -points to monk hanging from the cliff- Yep, I'm sure it did. See? He's switching hands to hold on... uh-oh. -runs from kazaana-
Lilly: You missed 4 chapters? Wow, your aim is terrible! Pick up the bow and try again. Yeah, I was kinda surprised about Miroku dying, too. He doesn't seem to be as careful as he used to be. I think he's gotten distracted rather badly. And it seems like Sesshomaru is a more dangerous person to be around than his brother. Bigger the demon, the badder the badguys.I'm glad you liked that snippet, I was going to make a joke with it, then I realized it looked good as a fluffy moment. Thank you so much for the compliments. I know my chapters are short, but what takes ten minutes to read actually takes a lot longer to write, although this chapter was a little weak in terms of talent. I used to hate writing, hated having all these ideas in my head that needed to go down on paper, but having the computer to do my writing has made it a lot more fun! Thank you for reading my work, it makes me glad that I'm entertaining people. Yeah, I like when authors respond to my comments, too. I only have one who does it rather regularly and I tend to write longer reviews for her than most people. That's where I got the format for responding that I'm using right now. I used to just e-mail my reviewers, but on this site, most e-mail addresses aren't available and I want to tell people how much their reviews mean to me, so... I went ahead and added a reviewer response section. I'm trying to keep up the good work, lol. You just keep up the reading! Oh yeah, and I'm not fluent in Japanese, either, I just happen to know a lot of bad words in a lot of languages, lol. And I got infected by all the fanfics I've read with the occassional snippet.
Shanna: Yes, something just for you! Hey, I rock! -sings loudly- Yes, cuddly is a word, although I usually wouldn't use it to describe Sesshomaru! I felt horrible for Sango. I hated doing that to her. But Miroku doesn't get his cake AND get to eat it, too, that wouldn't be fair! But my feeling bad for Sango is why the story is going on, lol, so it has its up side. Yeah, you can love two different people. Love's not a cup that can be filled or emptied and everyone loves differently. After all, InuYasha loves Kagome and Kikyo in the series, so it's obvious a person can love two people in Takahashi's universe. Collide? Well, yes, I think they will. -pictures InuYasha's group running headlong into Sesshomaru's, bodies flying everywhere like bowling pins and ending up in a big dogpile- -snickers at her own imagination- -gets thwomped for all her action commens- Ow. -recovers and enjoys her glomping session- Wow, that was a lot of glomps! Thanks! -tries to glomp back, but trips and falls on her face-
Shadowed Blade: Yes, I decided to continue. And did I mention that I like your screen name?
