Hello all. I have decided I am going to re-write this story and finally finish it. It is not one of my best works but I hope you enjoy it all the same. I am also working on a new fic, so most likely these chapters won't be nearly as long as some of those. The reason for this is simply because these chapters were never long to begin with and I feel I should keep them slightly shorter. Anyways, enjoy and please leave a review.

Chapter 1: The Loving Couple
.
Kagome rolled onto her side, cringing as a sharp pain ripped through her stomach. All she needed to do was wait for the pain killers to kick in, but God were they taking their sweet time. She felt like someone was stabbing her in the gut repeatedly, making her feel slightly nauseas at the same time. Needing to find some sort of distraction while she waited, she looked longingly out the door at the sunny world beyond the hut.
As her eyes focused on the sky outside she noticed Miroku and Sango walking by, hand in hand, talking happily. It was amazing how quickly the two had switched from the role of friends to lovers. They spent all their time together and were always smiling. Sure there was still the occasional fight, when Miroku's hands wondered 'accidentally' to other women's behinds, but they were getting better.
Kagome smiled to herself as she remembered how happy Sango had been after Miroku had proposed to her. Sure they wouldn't marry until after Naraku's down fall, but it was something to look forward to; a small glimmer of hope for a normal life. She was overjoyed that the two had found happiness and only hoped that their battle would end sooner rather than later. She could just imagine the happy family.
Her thoughts were disrupted as a shadow fell over her. Coming back to the world around her she saw Inuyasha standing in the doorway grimacing down at her. He moved towards her and plunked himself on the floor in front of her. Without the distraction of her thoughts the pain reminded her of it's presence and she winced.
"I'm not feeling better yet Inuyasha. Could you please go away for a while longer. When I'm better I'll let you know alright." She said it as more of a statement then a question. He huffed at her and grumbled something about a stupid wench before rising and leaving through the door. She sighed to herself. If only Inuyasha would be more considerate of her, like Miroku. How she wished he would confess to her the way Miroku had to Sango. With that she was lost to her thoughts again.

Sango smiled over at Miroku as they strolled lazily through the forest. She loved him so much and every time she looked at him it made her heart skip a beat. Surely this wasn't healthy, being this happy. Although who was she to complain? She had the man of her dreams and her friends were all safe and sound. She was glad they had decided to rest for a while back at Kaede's village. It was nice to take some time off from their continual struggle. All she felt like doing right now was barricading herself in a hut with the man beside her.
"What, may I ask, is making you so quite?" Miroku's voice drifted into her mind, clearing her head of any naughty thoughts. Just then she realized that there was a warmth resting on her behind. Had it been any other time she would have taken Hiraikotsu to the monk's head, but at the moment she only blushed.
"I was thinking of you." Sango admitted shyly. He smiled down at her and slowly wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close to him.
"Funny," He whispered as their noses brushed, their lips dangerously close. "I was thinking of me too." He smirked as she pulled back and lightly smacked his arm. A look of mock astonishment played across her face. Miroku leaned in to whisper in her ear. His grin widening as he felt a shiver run through her body. "I was thinking of how I might get you alone tonight." He whispered before gently kissing her lips.
She let his delicious smell envelope her as she basked in the sweet tenderness of his kiss. Smiling she pushed him away quickly and dashed into the forest, giggling slightly as his shocked complaint fell behind. She ran fast through the woods, knowing he was right behind her. Ahead she saw a branch hanging across their path and she grinned playfully.
As she passed it she pulled it with her before letting it whip back into place. A low huff sounded behind her as the branch collided with the running monk. The laugh that had been rising inside her bubbled up and burst out as she continued running. She could hear her hoshi panting slightly as he closed the distance and was momentarily distracted by his speed. As her mind tried to pry itself from his proximity she realized too late that there was a root sticking up in her path.
Sango's foot caught the root and she toppled forward. Instinctively, her arms came forward in an attempt to protect her face from the fall, and she closed her eyes. She braced herself for the pain of the impact, but it never came. Surprisingly strong arms wrapped themselves around her waist and rescued her from her fall. She opened her eyes to see Miroku smiling mischievously down at her.
"What have we here? A fallen damsel? Whatever shall I do?" His tone teased her before he closed the distance and they were kissing again.

In the trees a figure moved silently, watching the playful couple. Their lips twitched in a sneer as the disgusting display of affection repeated itself. How dumb could the slayer and monk truly be? They were standing in the middle of a forest infested with demons, yet their guard was down.
"Maybe I should teach them a lesson." A sultry female voice whispered to itself. She smirked as she pulled her fan. This could prove to be an entertaining distraction and surely Naraku wouldn't mind the death of a few of the thorns in his side. A gust of wind swirled happily around her as she lifted her fan.
"So much for the happy couple." She almost giggled as she brought the fan down, sending a wave of wind blades hurtling towards the unsuspecting lovers.
