i'm going to be completely honest - i didn't even know this ship existed until i saw fanart for it.

MirSess is an interesting pairing solely due to the juxtaposition these two characters have. i don't think they've exchanged a single word throughout the manga (if i remember correctly), but it's fun thinking about how they would interact. miroku's...tendencies vs sesshomaru's no-nonsense attitude. miroku's flirtatious nature vs sesshomaru's placidity. they're opposites in pretty much every way. i don't even know how their relationship would begin or progress given that sesshomaru comes across the group sporadically, but i like the idea of miroku having this fleeting and reoccurring attraction to him. i think it's way more amusing if it's a desperate one-sided crush because miroku KNOWS he isn't getting shit from sesshomaru, and i like the idea of that making him kind of a desperate loser (at least, more than he already is with sango). like he gets an eye glance from sesshomaru and nudges inuyasha like "eh? eh? see what he just did?" and inuyasha's face is the equivalent of that one horrified turtle meme image.

Miroku leaned back into the grass, the light breeze doing wonders for his mindfulness. The sun was beating, and the warmth forced his eyes closed.

The shadow that interrupted his basking brought a frown to his face. He cracked an eye to glare at the cloud that blocked the sun. Though not a cloud, it was similar, and he blinked rapidly at Sesshomaru’s appearance.

“Hello,” he greeted. “Meeting in the daylight…can’t say I’m not surprised by the change in pace.”

Miroku is given a job. He enjoys what he does, takes his assignments without question, has fun when he can, and always makes sure to leave the job on good terms. Is he sometimes tempted to take the fun too far? Of course he is, but it's never exploded in his face and he's not going to ruin his streak now.

This current job is easy. It's personal security for a politician while they're in the area. An easy six month job, a generous paycheck, and it's right in the great part of town. And the politician is already known to keep to themselves, so it's almost like a paid vacation.

He meets Sesshoumaru and almost everything turns on its head.

Miroku wasn't told who this politician was -- only that he was hired to be security by the office Sesshoumaru served. But now that he knows what he's doing and he knows who he's working for and he knows that the person signing his checks is definitely not the politician in question, Miroku starts digging. And digging. And finds an entire clusterfuck of an illegal mess.

It either started with embezzling or it ended there, no one can figure out what exactly happened. And while Sesshoumaru is at the center of it all, his hands are perfectly clean. At least, they appear to be. Even though the court said he was innocent and fit to return to office, every single person around him advised Sesshoumaru to take a sabbatical, lay low, work quietly, and come back when everything's been taking care of.

Ignoring that mess of questions, Miroku focuses on doing his job. Sure, Sesshoumaru is an asshole and sure, Sesshoumaru plays his cards very close to his chest, but it's not Miroku's job to dictate a person's moral compass. And Sesshoumaru is easy to guard.

Until Sesshoumaru's office starts asking Miroku questions. Starts trying to weasel out information Miroku isn't certain he can give. And it all sounds awful, but they are paying him and Sesshoumaru doesn't really care about him and the man looks guilty as fuck, but...

Rin: That's great! How are-

Miroku: Hold on, I need to ask Sesshomaru.

Death: This isn't a choice-

Miroku: he said no.
