you enjoy it! All your reviews are appreciated. ^_^

Sango narrowed her eyes angrily then turning on her heel, she stormed away from Lady Kaede's hut. Miroku stumbled clumsily after her but tripped over a loose board, landing spread eagle on the ground. Clutching her boomerang tighter, she whistled for Kilala.
"Don't even try to follow me this time, monk!"
Miroku looked up, face covered with dirt, watching Sango and Kilala disappear behind a group of pink tinged clouds. He sighed and pushed himself up off the ground. Inuyasha appeared beside him as he wiped the dust off his robes. The dog demon took a deep breath of the fragrant evening air and addressed the disgruntled monk.
" Nice job Miroku. We'll look for her in the morning....give her a chance to cool down."
Miroku continued staring into the sky and said nothing. Inuyasha slowly turned in the direction of the woods and stalked off.
"You know you deserved it,monk!"
he called over his shoulder before the lengthening shadows swallowed him completely.
Back at the hut, Kagome and Shippo were discussing Sango's angry departure.
"I don't blame her for leaving,"
Kagome stated matter of factly.
"Miroku's gone too far, I doubt he'll ever get it."
"Get what, Kagome?"
Shippo asked. She looked down at the little kitsune, ruffling his dark hair affectionately.
" Don't worry about it Shippo, here, why don't you take this and go catch some lightning bugs."
Shippo grabbed the jar and scurried out the doorway, whooping excitedly at the top of his small lungs. Lady Kaede lifted up her head and opened her eyes.
" Kagome, I don't think that ye should be so hard on the monk. He may have his faults, but he is still an important part in the search for the Shikon no Tama."
Kagome sniffed.
"You're right Lady Kaede, but that still doesn't excuse his behaviors! When is he going to realize that Sango loves him! You know it hurts her to watch him constantly running after other women."
Kaede stared at Kagome, then nodded quietly and bent down again to continue grinding herbs. Miroku had stood outside in the gathering dusk, listening to their conversation. He slipped away into the forest, taking care not to go the same path Inuyasha had taken. He sat down on a craggy stump. The moon was full and shone down through the clearing, bathing everything in its soft silvery glow. Miroku watched the shadows shift sliently. ~Sango...loves me? How can that be possible. There has never been a woman that really loved me. I know I feel the same about her but..wait...do I? Do I love Sango? I love all women, but that's not real love..how can I be sure Sango is different? How can I show her I care? I have to go after her alone. It wouldn't mean the same if everyone came.~ Miroku stood up and followed the path back to the hut. When he arrived, he noticed the candle had been put out. ~Good~ he thought, ~they're all asleep~ He grabbed a satchel and stuffed food and an extra blanket inside. He looked over at Kagome's sleeping form, feeling familiar urges take hold. Shaking his head suddenly, he threw the bag over his shoulder and left as quietly as he had come. Once outside, he stepped onto the path and breathed deeply, smelling the sickly sweet scent of the summer flowers. "Hold on Sango," he said softly, "Wait for me.."
