InuYasha and Sango walked silently along the river when Sango burst out, "Do you love Kagome?"

She immediately realized what she said and froze, letting InuYasha walk past her, but he has froze as well. For minutes, they both stood there in silence not even glancing at each other, not even thinking about the other.

Just then, Kagome walked by, "Hey, what's going on?"

Neither Sango or InuYasha said a word, they just stared at Kagome.

She stared at them, "Uh, I'll just go find Miroku."

The two watched as Kagome walked away slowly.

InuYasha looked at Sango, "What did you ask me?"

"I asked you if you love Kagome, I mean you're always trying to protect her and save her when she's in trouble."

"So?"

Sango rolled her eyes, "So, you obviously care for her, don't you?"

InuYasha turned up his nose, "I don't know what you are talking about Sango."

"If I admit that I love Miroku, even though he is one of the biggest perverts I know, will you admit that you love Kagome, even if it is just a little?" Sango asked putting her hand on her hip.

"Wait, you love Miroku?" InuYasha shouted.

She nodded, "Maybe."

InuYasha laughed and walked away, "Whatever."

Sango watched as he left, sighing with disappointment.

"Hey Miroku," InuYasha called, running up to the handsome monk, "do you want to know a secret about Sango?"

Miroku stood up from the fire he was building and looked at InuYasha, intrigued by what the half-demon was saying, "What do you mean?"

"I mean I know something about Sango and I think you might want to hear it," InuYasha yelled.

Miroku held up his hands defensively, "Whoa, chill out."

"Do want to know or not?" InuYasha asked impatiently.

"Sure, so what do you know that I don't know about the lovely Sango?"

"She loves you."

"What?"

"She loves you," InuYasha repeated.

Miroku stood still, completely stunned. InuYasha walked over and hit Miroku in the shoulder trying to jar him out of whatever shocked state he was in.

"InuYasha!" Sango yelled, walking up behind them, "You told him!"

"Sango!" InuYasha jumped.

"Sango," Miroku whispered a glazed smile spreading across his face.

"I can't believe you!" Sango yelled storming off through the brush.

Just then, Kagome walked in through the brush, a look of confusion on her pale face. InuYasha and Miroku stared at her, as if she were some type of new species.

She stared back, "InuYasha, you have no feelings! How could you share a sacred secret that Sango trusted you with?"

"I...I..." he stuttered.

"Sit InuYasha!"

InuYasha was immediately pulled down to his face, "Stupid beads."

"I can't believe you, you're so inconsiderate!"

He glared at her, "Whatever, where did Miroku go?"

Kagome looked around her, "I don't know."

"Well, as long as we're alone, I have something to tell you."

"Like what?" she asked crossing her arms.

"Like I love you."

"You choose now, when Sango is crying, Miroku is missing, and I am pissed off to tell me that you love me?" she cried.

InuYasha slowly got up, "I..."

"Sit, InuYasha!"

He was immediately pulled back down.

Kagome stared at him with a vicious look, but then her eyes softened, "InuYasha?"

"What?" he half yelled, half asked.

"Did you mean it?"

"Mean what, I love you?"

She nodded, "Yes, did you mean it?"

"Of course, I've loved you since I first laid eyes on you," he whispered.

At that moment, Kagome knew her life was complete, but she wouldn't dare admit it to InuYasha, "Wow, um, shouldn't we look for Sango and Miroku?"

"They can find their own way back," InuYasha smiled getting up and walking over to hold Kagome.

She smiled and looked into InuYasha's eyes, "Ok."
