Ch. 1:

me: this is my first Miroku/Sango fanfic! I really need your opinions and advice!

Kikyo: X.X

me: eeek, oh yeah, I almost forgot:

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha, and I don't own the song "Sweet Dreams".

me: yeah, that's where I got the title from. It's a song lyric.

Kikyo: ::sings the song off-key:: ::dogs start howling::


The sun was setting across the feudal era. A dark haired girl with ponytail and a small cat sat outside the small wooden hut, listening to the sounds of the evening. She could hear the birds chirping, the squirrels running across the leaves, and water from the stream nearby drifting slowly downstream. It was all quite pleasant and comfortable.

Of course, all those nice sounds couldn't block out the deafening argument that was coming from inside.

"Why d'ya have to be such a pervert, Miroku?!" InuYasha yelled, his voice reverberating around the hut.

"It wasn't me! I swear, my hand must have a will of its own or something...its quite amazing, once you think about it." A slightly calmer male voice answered. There was a hint of laughter in the houshi's voice, which was only making InuYasha madder.

"InuYasha, just calm down. It's not like Miroku hasn't pulled this before..." Kagome's high voice reached Sango's ears, and the exterminator instantly knew the problem. Miroku had tried to grope Kagome again, and InuYasha had gotten infuriated with him...again. Sango sighed deeply and got up. Oh yes, this was going to be a peaceful night. She entered the room slowly, and Kagome rushed over to her.

"Sango-chan...they're fighting again..." Kagome stated the obvious. Little Shippo-chan was hiding in the corner, half covered by Kagome's backpack, Sango noticed. It seemed he didn't want to get in the middle of this madness. Well, who could blame him? Once you thought about it, it was actually pretty funny. Sango laughed in spite of herself.

"Just keep your hands off Kagome, you bastard!!"

"Don't deny it, InuYasha...you're in love."

"I am not! What the hell do you know??"

Kagome sighed, putting her head in her hands. "This might take a while, Sango-chan."

"Shall we stop them?"

"How?"

"Well...I would throw Hiraikotsu, but it might ruin the place." Sango thought aloud.

"True..." Kagome watched InuYasha's face turn red as he yelled at the hentai houshi. "You know, I can think of only one way to solve this problem..." She looked at Sango. "You might want to run..." Kagome walked closer to InuYasha. "Look, InuYasha...can you please stop fighting with Miroku? Please?"

"Like hell I will!" InuYasha growled. Kagome's face turned red.

"InuYasha...sit boy!"

As usual, the hanyou plummeted to the wooden floor, smashing a hole in it. Miroku looked shocked.

"There goes our nice sleeping quaters..." the monk sighed. Sango had to bite her lip; this was all just too funny.

"Ohh...he went through the floor??" Kagome shrieked. "InuYasha, are you all right?" Shippo peeked out from under Kagome's pack. Upon seeing the look on InuYasha's face, he burrowed back in, much deeper this time. Shippo knew that look... and he didn't like it at all.

"Heh...do I LOOK like I'm all right, wench?! What the hell did you do that for??"

"Probably to make you be quiet, I'd expect." Miroku noted smugly. InuYasha looked ready to kill.

"I'm still not finished talking with you, Miroku!" InuYasha stood up unsteadily, wincing.

"InuYasha, please just forget about it... Miroku just likes to grope every pretty girl he sees..." Kagome said offhandedly. The monk nodded happily.

"Very true, InuYasha." Miroku said.

"Feh, pretty girl? He'll grope any wench he can get his dirty hands on!"

"Excuse me?!" Kagome shrieked. "InuYasha, that's so rude!"

"I can't help that its true!" InuYasha yelled. Kagome looked down, her face crimson, and her eyes shining. InuYasha panicked; he did NOT like to see women cry.

"I'm sorry, okay?!" He muttered. Kagome's head was still bent down, and her shoulders were shaking. Sango came up behind Kagome and put her hand on her shoulder.

"Kagome-chan, it's ok..." Sango murmered, shooting a murderous glare at InuYasha, who looked bewildered.

"I didn't mean to make her cry!! I didn't mean it Kagome, really..." InuYasha exclaimed. Kagome shook some more, and then burst out laughing.

"She...wasn't crying?" Miroku asked in shock. Sango grinned, understanding what the miko had done. Kagome had wanted to get her sympathy from InuYasha, for calling her a wench.

"I-I'm sorry InuYasha...it was just the look on your face when.... oh god that was funny..." Kagome said. She giggled a little more, then stood up. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.... now let's just please go to bed, please?"

".......fine..." InuYasha mumbled. He was clearly embarrassed about being played for a fool. The hanyou stomped outside, to sleep on the roof, as usual. Kagome watched him go.

"D'ya think he's really mad?" She asked quietly. Sango and Miroku shook their heads.

"Nah," Sango replied. "Just a little annoyed I guess." Kagome looked like she felt better, and she spread out the blankets for the other three. Sango chose the blanket farthest away from Miroku, who seemed to be looking for some mayhem to cause. Kagome moved her blanket closer to Sango's.

"Shippo, you can sleep by Miroku..." Kagome said, causing Miroku to make a tiny noise of disappointment. The kitsune looked annoyed, but he was too sleepy to argue. Within ten minutes, Shippo and Kagome were asleep.


InuYasha looked up at the millions of stars in the sky. He wanted to go back down and apologize to Kagome for being so snappy, but it was too late for that. He didn't want to look desperate, after all.

"I wonder if she's really mad..." InuYasha thought sleepily. The stars and the cool air were too much for him, and he quickly gave in to sleep.


"Houshi-sama, are you asleep?" Sango asked.

"Mmmm...not yet. Why? Anything wrong, Sango?"

"No...just checking." Sango replied, a faint smile on her face.

"Are you worried about me?" Miroku asked slyly. Sango sat up quickly.

"No! Of course not!" She said indignantly.

"Oh Sango...would it be so hard to say something nice once in a while? Like, 'sweet dreams' or, 'see you in the morning'? Must we always be so stubborn?"

Sango sighed and lay back down on her pillow. He did have a point...but she wouldn't let him know that... "Goodnight, Houshi-sama."

Miroku smiled. "'Night, Sango. Sweet dreams."

me: yeah...so this is my first Miroku/Sango. I usually only do Inu/Kag fics, but hey. Might as well try, ne?


Kikyo: ::is still singing::
