Chapter 3: The Courting of Miroku
Higurashi

Inuyasha was on
the brink of insanity. He stared at a report for half an hour and he still had
not finished reading the first page. The half demon was contemplating about his
life (how it sucked), existentialist philosophy and his family (how his half brother
made his life suck more). But most of all he thought about Miroku,
Miroku and Miroku.
The old man implied upon him how short the young boy�s life would
be. It wasn�t fair to see this boy try to put up a smile amidst the rain while
he wallowed and sulked in his �perfect� life.
Inuyasha stood up
from his leather chair and walked out from his lavish office and drove his way
home.

----------------------------

Miroku Higurashi began his morning thinking about his secret
admirer. When he entered the school yard, he began to outrageously flirt with
every girl he met considering the possibility that she might be the �one�.
He spared no one especially in the classroom. Some of the boys shook
their heads in exasperation at the monk�s desperation while the others were
keeping a close eye on him, ever prepared to send him to kingdom come if he
ever tried something funny with their girlfriends.
To Kouga it was sheer torture. When he
entered the classroom, Miroku did not even bother to
acknowledge him. What was he to expect? The monk to look at him and realize
that he, Kouga, was the one who held and kissed him
yesterday? �Tough nuts pal�, Kouga admonished to himself, �that shit only happens in romance novels�.
Still it wouldn�t hurt for Miroku to acknowledge him.
The wolf demon felt that he would explode with jealousy when Miroku fawned over their female classmates. It was just a
matter of time when Kouga would finally snap.

�AAAAUUUGGHHH!!!!�

Everyone was silent even their professor. Kouga
stomped in front of Miroku who was sitting and
staring at him dumbfounded.
�You come with me NOW!!�

The monk quickly stood up and followed the wolf demon outside.
Soon they were in the middle of the school yard. Kouga
turned around to face the Miroku.
�Well?�
�I, Kouga, prince of the wolf clan hereby
declare that I am courting Miroku Higurashi.�
The wolf demon announced it in a very loud and clear voice that people gathered
to witness this strange event.

Suffice to say Miroku�s mind
exploded.

It took some time for Miroku to return
from his self-imposed exile from reality and to gather his wits.
�Ha ha,� the monk started to laugh� hahahahhah.�
Kouga was torn
between crying his heart out and hitting Miroku in
the face.

�I am not fooled. Though it may seem that you, Kouga,
are acting on your own free will, you in truth are controlled by a strange
spirit.�

The crowd murmured in enlightenment on the monk�s revelation.

�How can you say that,� fumed the wolf demon �that is just absolute
bullshit!!!�

Miroku pityingly smiled
on him. �Shush, it�s okay. I will help you get rid of this amorous spirit.
Besides the Kouga I know despises me so much.�
�The Kouga
I know despises me��

�No, it�s a goddamned
lie!!! I like you� in fact I love you!� Kouga�s face screwed in mental anguish.
�So,� It took a lot of control for the wolf demon not scream �what
are we going to do about it?�
�Well you first need to retract the declaration you just made.� Miroku smiled.
The wolf demon crossed his arms. �No.�
A tic formed on the monk�s calm smiling face.
�It is not as easy as you think monk, we wolves take our words
seriously. I will pursue your affections just as tradition dictates.�

�It is not easy as you think wolf,� Miroku
whispered harshly to him, his patience wearing thin,� I, Miroku,
has this secret admirer to pursue and I will not that poor damsel�s heart be
broken just because of your ridiculous courtship to me.�

Kouga turned the
other side as if he had not heard a word Miroku said
to him.

Miroku was close
to tearing his hair in frustration. He was now alone in the school restroom
still making sense of his day.
Then someone came in and caught him on guard. Miroku
turned around to see that it was none other than Inuyasha.
�Am I also in your turf?� The monk gave a joking grin.
�You don�t have to act around me.�
With that the monk�s shoulders slumped as if he had just unloaded a
big burden.

�Thanks.�

The dog hanyou just grunted in response. Miroku was about to go on with his angst when he noticed
that Inuyasha was still looking at him.
�I heard something from your family. About your condition��
The monk was surprised to know that Inuyasha
was on to his quest to lose his virginity.
�I�m not exactly proud of it you know,� Miroku
grinned,� but it is part of life, I guess.�
Inuyasha never
expected this boy to be so accepting of his death.� When do you think-�
�Before graduation,� the monk�s eyes glittered, �if possible today.
You know it is a good thing that I get to talk about this to someone. Most of
them just don�t understand.�
Overcome with emotion and admiration for this monk�s strength, Inuyasha walked toward Miroku and
asked �What do you wish for?�
�Women, girls. Beautiful creatures of the fairer sex!� Miroku
spoke too quickly.

At
that moment Kouga came in and noticed that the two of
them were standing too close.
�Hey,� The wolf demon came behind Miroku
and stared down at the hanyou.

At that instant the room became heavy with animosity that electric
currents cackled between Inuyasha and Kouga. It wasn�t hard for Miroku
to notice the killing atmosphere. Whatever they would be fighting about, he
certainly didn�t want to be caught in the middle of it.

�Oh well look at the time, I better get going.�

After walking a few meters, Miroku turned
around to see that they were following him
�Yes?� The monk nearly spat out with one of his brows dangerously
rising. He was very close to have a bitchy fit.
Inuyasha and Kouga stared at him, somehow confused at their actions and
at this moment fumbling for words of explanation.
�It is my duty as your �um..suitor.�
�I was just concerned of your safety.�
Both the wolf and the dog hanyou responded
at the same time.Apparently they didn�t like what
they heard as they were facing each other and throwing colorful obscenities.
�Suitor?! You fucking perv! I knew I should
be guarding Miroku from the likes of you!�
Kouga bared his
teeth. �Just who the fuck are you muttboy?!
Higurashi didn�t give you permission to stalk him.�
�What and did he give you permission, flea bitten wolf?!�
�I am courting him fair and square. You�re just putting up the guise
of defending him so you can snitch him behind my back!!�
�Take that back! Take that back!� The hanyou
screamed purple with rage.

�Hah! You and what army?�
Immersed with their fight, Inuyasha and Kouga didn�t notice Miroku walk
away clutching his poor aching head.

-------------------------------------------

Kouga and Inuyasha were having a staring contest outside Miroku�s classroom. From the telltale red veins appearing
from their eyeballs, this has been going on quite sometime.
Then the bell rang signaling the end of the last class for the day.

�Higurashi, I�ll walk you home.�
�Higurashi, let�s go to your place.�

Both the hanyou and the wolf gave each
other dirty looks.

Miroku squeezed
his closed eyes with the underside of his palm. He wanted nothing more than to
be swallowed up by the earth.
Dejectedly, running out of ideas, he walked out and let them
accompany him home.
�It�s not that bad.� Kouga said when Miroku was walking with overhanging storm clouds.
Inuyasha snorted
in approval. He didn�t need to be reminded how close to death this young monk
was.

As for the monk he had enough of this, as soon as they walked out of
the building Miroku was ranting out his feelings.
�Of course, I could not possibly see how this situation would become
worse. I should be escorting a girl to her home not the other way around.�
Inuyasha and Kouga absently nodded in agreement as they walked out of
the gate and was about to cross the street.
�I was supposed to look for that secret admirer. You don�t know
about that but I gave her my first kiss.�
Kouga held Miroku back by clutching his backpack when the monk was
about to step in front of a speeding car.
�It may look pathetic from your point of view. But it was special
for me.� Miroku just went on walking as if nothing
had happened.
�Of course,� Kouga followed and ducking as
he hid his blush from the inu hanyou.

Turning around corner the three of them continued to walk.
�Higurashi, you�re dead meat! I will make
you sorry for feeling up my girlfriend.�
Miroku, immersed
in his own monologue did not hear the murderous threat. However, Inuyasha fell back, turned around and smacked the annoying
boy, an upperclassman, out cold.

As the hanyou caught up, Miroku turned his attention to Inuyasha
and asked: �I don�t see why you guys would have to accompany me home. I can
take care of myself.�
With that both Kouga and Inuyasha stared at each other sharing the same
thought: �Yeah right.�

----------------------------------------------------
The three of them arrived in the shrine and to the wolf demon�s irk, Inuyasha was making
himself too comfortable in Miroku�s residence. It
seems that the dog hanyou had already been here and
perhaps had already known the houshi�s relatives.
That thought brought Kouga beside himself with
jealousy. He had to be more aggressive if he wants to win in this love game.
He first met Miroku�s mother, a sweet lady
who offered them a snack. Mrs. Higurashi asked the
wolf demon if he was also her son�s friend, Kouga was
about to reply when the other two boys immediately guessed what he would say.
Before he could open his mouth, Kouga was
tackled to the ground by both Miroku and Inuyasha.
�Shut up!�
Both the monk and the inu hanyou shouted.
�What did I do?!� Kouga stood up and
brushed himself .Obviously he�s been stung by the two boys ganging up on him.
Getting over the hurt, Kouga�s mind wheels quickly
whirred into motion of how he could score more points than the dog hanyou.

When it was time to go home, it was there that Kouga
put his plans to action. Playing the role of the good host, Miroku
led them out of the shrine. Then as they were coming down the shrine steps, Kouga lost his footing. Inuyasha
and Miroku could only stare dumbfounded as they saw
him tumbling and rolling a very long way down to the ground.
�Bakayarou.� Inuyasha could only mutter when the monk
hurriedly came down to see the wolf demon�s plight.
When Miroku met Kouga
down, the wolf demon had been sitting up with his legs splayed.� Are you
alright?� the monk helpfully asked.
�I think I twisted my ankle.�
The monk stared at Kouga�s feet wondering
what foot he was referring to.
�How�s it going back there?� Inuyasha�s voice boomed above.
�It�s nothing,� Miroku replied back,� Kouga seems fine.�

The young monk
heard a sudden cracking noise from behind.

�Oh my Buddha!!�, Miroku
gasped as he turned around to see Kouga�s left foot
twisted at an impossible angle.� What is that?!!!�
�Like I said,� Kouga enunciated through
his gritted teeth,�I twisted my ankle.�

Inuyasha was not
at all pleased when Kouga was leaning on Miroku as the monk helped him up the stairs. He was very
much ticked when the monk announced that Kouga was
staying overnight in the house to heal. Despite that sort of pseudo macho
display of pain, Inuyasha knew that Kouga was inwardly gloating.
�Here Miroku,� The dog hanyou
held up his arms,� let me carry ol� wolf breath for
you.�
Ignoring the dagger-look glares Kouga sent
him, he hefted the wolf demon�s weight out Miroku�s
shoulders.
�Ooops!!!� Inuyasha piped up as Kouga
accidentally slipped from his grasp, sending the wolf demon tumbling down the
stairs again.
�Kouga!!�

Inuyasha followed
the monk down, perversely delighting the sounds of pain and the spitting curses
the wolf demon directed to him. He burst into a chuckle as Kouga
hit the ground facedown, rolled around and wholeheartedly made an obscene
gesture with his two hands knowing that the hanyou
could see them with his heightened vision.

Knowing that Kouga was staying for the
night, Inuyasha planned for a way to make sure he too
would also be staying.
