Miroku struggled furiously against the binds that held him in place. The monk's efforts were mostly in vain, as the ropes that tied him to the tree held firm despite his attempts to free himself. Smiling down at her helpless toy, the gigantic Kagome ripped the tree from its foundations, staring on at the monk with a lustful gaze.

"Kagome? Look, I know what you're thinking, and I used to be the same way a long time ago, but I seriously think that..."

"Clothes off!"

His eardrums nearly blown out by Kagome's yell, Miroku pleaded "But I can't move!"

"Fine. I'll do it."

With a simple twist of a finger, Kagome ripped the monk's robes from his body, leaving him only with a small garment over his privates for his protection.

"HELP! SOMEBODY!"

"Master Inu-Yasha, I bring news most dire!"

From his hiding place behind a large cluster of trees, the dog demon and his companions looked down on the exhausted flea.

"What happened?"

"The maiden Kagome's skin was far too thick for me to penetrate! I couldn't draw the poison, and now she has Miroku in her clutches!"

"What? I've seen that thing of yours pierce armor to get blood."

"I tried!"

Sighing, Inu-Yasha looked at his claws before announcing, "OK, then it's time for Plan B."

"What's plan B?" asked Shippo.

"I bleed the poision out of her by cutting her open."

The group obviously did not agree. "WHAT?!"

"Oh, come on. You act like I'm gonna kill her."

"You could!" replied Sango. "You don't know where to aim for. You could make Kagome bleed to death!"

"Perhaps the argument should be saved," interrupted Miroku, "before Miroku becomes the latest victim of Kagome's lust?"

Pausing for a brief second to contemplate that, Inu-Yasha looked at Sango before he asked "Ok, where do you think I should aim then?"
