“He was curious.”
“Miroku’s always been curious.” He grumbled, “Who ain’t?”
Sesshoumaru gave one of those slow blin...

Chapter 81: Rowdy
It wasn’t a scream, exactly. More of a yelp. A prolonged yelp. Almost a yodel.
Kagome’s colored pencil slipped form her hand.
Sango was on her feet in a moment. “That was Miroku!”
