'exorcisms' to gain us shelter, asks almost every female of 
childbearing age to his bed (and it is frightening how many 
accept) and is unashamedly cowardly and greedy.

INU-YASHA: And how many have accepted?

MIROKU: So far, in round figures, and counting today, the total stands
at... nearly but not quite one.

my proving it upon his body.  Another part - my vanity - is

I don't really know if this qualifies as an hourfic or not, as 
I've been carrying the idea around in my head for a while. 

That's how most of the hour-fics we do on the FFIRC work, so I don't
think you've got a problem there.

Also, I'm aware that this concept may have been contradicted in
canon.  I only have access to the Viz manga, and their 
distribution to foreign countries (I live in Australia) is, shall
we say, erratic?  The last issue I've seen was the close of 
Sango's introductory arc.  

Which is, actually, where this whole concept came from.  Miroku 
tells Inu-Yasha, when Inu-Yasha's complaining about Sango's hazy
memory, "Naraku no doubt thought to enchant her so ... she would
be unable to find her way back to him."  While Naraku himself 
reflects, "As for the exterminator Sango... I have plenty of uses
for her yet."  This was an exploration of perhaps one of those 
uses.

Probably too dark to actually be shown in that series, but I don't see
any reason this couldn't have gone on in the background. All in all,
very nice work, especially for only an hour's time.
