This is just a ficcie I made... the idea came when I was making soap bubbled with my sister. So here it goes...

I sat on a garden's fence in my own thoughts. The children were playing on the street near Kagome's house. She had told me what they were doing, otherwise I probably wouldn't have understood anything. Their laughter floated towards the sky as well as their soap bubbles.

The soap bubbles broke one by one, and the children laughed happily, making new bubbles. In their eyes I was just a normal girl. But everything that I had gone through, they couldn't see that pain…

That laughter and happiness brought Kohaku into my mind. He had been so happy even from the smallest things. And he had laughed so easily.

I felt tear in my eye. Kohaku, yes… he had been dead when he was under Naraku's control, but I haven't believed it. How much pain he had caused to me, to the others… I just should have believed that he was dead.

But now, when Naraku was destroyed, Kohaku had died too. I had been watching it, yelling, crying, but no one could save my little brother anymore.

I looked at the soap bubbles floating towards the cloudless sky. There was something in those things what made me feel better.

I hoped I could have been inside one. Floating far away from the pain, from the sadness, and from everything. Floating towards the sky without a smallest concern. Floating wild and free, and without memories…

I shook my head. No, I didn't want to lose my memories. I didn't want to lose Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku and Shippou.

Small smile slowly reached my face. Kagome, who always was my friend. Inuyasha, who always protected the others. Shippou, who always wanted to know things. And Miroku… who had saved me so many times and helped me to get over Kohaku's death.

Yes, I never wanted to lose my memories of them. But all that what Naraku had caused… making Kohaku kill my family and making me believe that he was still alive.

Suddenly I heard footsteps from behind me, and when I turned I saw Miroku. He was smiling at me, and we both had those strange clothes given by Kagome.

"Why are you sitting here all alone?" He asked and sat next to me.

"I was thinking about everything what had happened." I answered.

"You mean that fight with Naraku?"

"Yeah, and everything he caused to us."

I was surprised when he put his hand around my shoulders and didn't try to touch my butt. He was smiling at me, the same gently smile as always when I was down.

"Naraku is gone now. Everything is alright." Miroku said to me.

"You're right, but still…" I started and sighed.

"You're still thinking about Kohaku?" He asked, and I nodded.

"You shouldn't be sad. Remember all the happy times you went through together. That should help." He said. I leant against his shoulder and felt a tear in my eye again.

Miroku noticed the tear too and gently wiped it away. I looked at him, but he just smiled. That smiled made me feel better.

"Don't cry. I'm right here." He said, calmingly.

"I…" I started, but he put her finger onto my mouth.

"Everything is okay. You just need some time to recover from everything what's happened."

I nodded and closed my eyes, leaning against his chest now. He was warm and I started to feel sleepy. I still didn't fall asleep, and we sat there for a long time.

"Miroku." I whispered.

"Hmm?"

"Can we… can we be like this forever?"

He smiled at me and gently grabbed my face. And then, he kissed me. I kissed him back, happily.

"Of course we can." He whispered back. "And we will."

I might have lost Kohaku, but I still had my friends and Miroku. And that's all I need just now.

Hope u review if u read... xD
