Hanging on her word...

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha :(

Author Note: Thanks for all of the positive feedback. I hope I continue to tickle your brains. LOL, weird statement. Anyway, I hope everyone stays interested. Enjoy :) Oh, and let me know what you think.


Everyone was acting weird. Just two days ago Miroku and Sango we're holding hands and laughing. Tonight they seemed to have sat on polar ends of the camp ground.

"Sango, join me for a bath?" I heard Kagome say. Sango must have nodded yes because they both got up and started to head out. "We'll be back in a few." Kagome yelled over her shoulder.

I looked up towards the sky, I could smell the salt, but didn't detect any rain. I looked at everyone, none of the males were crying. The smell was getting stronger. It was one of the girls, or both. I closed my eyes as they came into view, and took a sniff of the air. It was definitely both of them.

"I wanna get moving in the morning." I said. No one answered.

"I'm going home, can I borrow Kirara?" Kagome said after a few moments of silence. Sango nodded, but didn't bother to look up at her. "I'll be back in a week."

"A week! We don't have a week, you have two days," I yelled, jumping down from my tree.

"Inuyasha please, I really need a week. I have no energy to fight you."

"Well, why do you have to go now?"

"Ask her," she said as she climbed on the transformed demon cat and flew away. I looked at Sango who didn't seem to want to talk.

"Well!" I demanded, not caring how she felt.

"…" she looked at me.

"Are you gonna answer or not?"

"She's mad at me," she finally admitted.

"Well why? Why was she so mad that she has to leave for a week?"

"It is none of your concern." She said sitting down.

"It is so my concern. Miroku don't you agree?"

"Hmph," He said looking away.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Why is everyone acting weird?"

"Ask Sango…" he trailed off, closing his eyes.

"Ok Sango, you and me, in the forest, now!" I said walking into the forest. For a moment I thought she wasn't going to come, and then I heard her light slow footsteps. "What's everyone's problem with you?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Kagome left after you two came back from the hot spring, I could smell you two were crying. I just want to know what happened."

"It was a girl problem," she insisted.

"Well how come you and Miroku aren't talking anymore?"

"Everyone goes through problems."

"No way, nothing has happened between you and him for a while. Even him groping you has stopped. That's not like Miroku to let a little 'problem' stop him from groping you."

"What Miroku and I do is none of your concern."

"It is when it affects everyone," she didn't say anything. "Sango…I just want to know what's going on." I said putting my hand on her shoulder.

"Look Inuyahsa," she said taking a step back, my hand dropped to the side. I held back the loud stream of curses I wanted to release. "I…just think that Kagome needs to…wash her hair better."

"Huh?" I asked utterly confused.

"Her hair has smelled funny lately and I told her..."

"Bull shit!" I called her out. I could smell the lie all over her. "I'm not that stupid. I know that whatever happened it wasn't about her hair, and that it affected you and Miroku; I just don't see how your relationship with him affects yours and Kagome's relationship."

"Me and Miroku and fine!" she yelled at me. "We're doing just fine," she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Oh yeah, then prove it," I smirked smugly. She looked at me for a long time with smoke coming out of her nose, and then she stormed off back to camp. Quickly I followed behind her, anticipating her next move.

"You guys are -" Miroku began, but was cut off as Sango walked up to him, grabbed his collar and slammed her lips onto his. After a few seconds she released her hold on him, and looked into his eyes. She turned around towards me, glared, and walked away to the other side of the camp. As she sat down she sighed and held her head in her hands. Miroku walked over to me with his eyebrow quirked up. "What did you say to her?"

"I just told her stop being weird," he nodded his head and walked over to Sango.

Miroku's POV

"Sango…" I said sitting down beside her.

"Miroku I'm sorry, I didn't mean -" I cut her off the same way she did me. I was surprised when she kissed me back with as much passion as I was giving her. When we finally pulled apart we were panting. "Miroku," she nearly cried out, "I'm sorry I never should have said those things to you." I gathered her in my arms.

"I love you Sango," I moved her so we were face to face. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath.

"I…I love you too," she said, and even though her voice shook with uncertainty, my heart was swelled with too many happy emotions, that I wasn't able to realize the sad look she wore in her eyes as the words left her beautiful lips.
