Chapter 3: The next day
The next morning Kagome woke up in her sleeping bag with two strong arms around her. The memories of the previous night flooded into her mind and she couldn't help but blush and smile a little. She looked up at Miroku's face and noted how cute he was when he was sleeping.
She felt so good right now. That was the deepest sleep she had had in months, well unless you count the times she drank until she passed out. But this was still different, she slept easily, not like when she drank. It was now that she had remembered all the sake they had and she noticed the headache that was coming on from the hangover. She also noticed the pain between her legs, which made her blush again.
She tried to wriggle out of his grasp without waking him up to get an asprin, but failed. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her with a sleepy smile. "Morning love."
"Morning babe." She said and gave him a kiss. When she tried to pull away he grabbed her and pulled her into a passionate kiss. They stayed there for a moment before he pulled away and muttered an 'ow' and clutched his head. Kagome just chuckled a bit. "I take it you have discovered the downside of drinking."
"Yeah. Ow... how do you make it stop?" He whined still holding his head.
She just got up and walked over to her backpack and started to search through it. After a moment she pulled out a little bottle and two bottles of water. She walked over and handed him a water bottle and a little tablet from the smaller bottle. "What's this?"
"It's an asprin, it'll get rid of the headache. Just pop it in your mouth and drink it down with the water. Like this." She said and showed him what to do. He followed suit and after a few moments it started to take effect and his headache went down.
They had breakfast and then decided to head back to the others before they got suspicious. Even though they were sure that they others most likely already were. They grabbed there stuff and headed into the woods hand in hand trying to find the others. After about an hour of walking they realized that they had no idea where they were going because they had been to drunk last night to remember where they had come from.
They finally came across a village that looked somewhat familiar. A couple of villagers where outside doing there chores or what not. They walked up to one of them and said, "Excuse me, but do you know which way it is to Kaede's village?"
"What business have you there? The only thing you will find there is a dirty halfbreed and a village of abominations for housing him and his companions." The villager said with disgust
"Hey, you listen here, if it wasn't for them then you and everyone else would probably be dead right now thanks to Naraku!" Kagome yelled at the villager, drawing attention from the rest of the village.
"Well, what does it matter to you? Unless, wait a minute," the villager said as he looked them over. " You are two of the halfbreed's companions aren't you? They said that there was a monk and a miko in strange clothing. Get out of here, now! We want nothing to do with you!"
"Why you-" Kagome started but was cut off as Miroku covered her mouth with his hand. He quickly gave his apologies and dragged her out of there before she started a riot.
Once they were far enough away, Kagome got out of his grasp. She turned to him and yelled, "What did you do that for? You heard what they were saying, they needed to be set striaght!"
"Yes, they do need to be set straight, but no matter what we told them they wouldn't have listened. People are too narrow minded, we wouldn't have been able to change their minds." He told her sadly while taking her cheek in his hand.
"I know, but it's so sad. Inuyasha has done nothing wrong, and now he has to suffer. I don't even care what they said about us. Now I know why he always was so cold and withdrawn, because of people like them." She looked down at the ground as a single tear slid down her cheek. Miroku embraced her lovingly and set his chin on her head.
"I know it is. But while there are people like them, there's also people like us, people like you. You gave him a chance when no one else would, and then you showed the rest of us what he was really like and made us give him a chance, too. And you know what, we're all really glad you did." He told her as he raised her head and gave her a sweet kiss on the lips.
"Thank you so much, Miroku. Now, lets go find the others. Or at least, try to find the others." She said with a chuckle as she grabbed his hand once again and they walked through the woods.
After a while they came across a path that they knew would lead them to the village. From there they just kept walking in a comfortable silence as the late afternoon sun shone down on them. Kagome finally decided to say something. "Hey, Miroku.I noticed that while we were at that village you didn't ask any of the woman to bare your child, why is that?"
"Because," He said as he turned to her. "I already found the perfect woman to do so. Why should I ask anyone else when I have you?"
"Well, who ever said that I would be willing to?" She asked him teasingly.
"Well, I sure hope that you would because after last night, you might already be." He said as he put a hand on her stomach.
Kagome eyes widened and she stated, "Oh yeah, I didn't think about that."
"Your not upset are you?" Miroku asked as he took back his hand and had a worried look on his face.
"Oh, no no no! It's not that, it's just that I didn't think about it. I love you, and I would love to bare your child." She said as she took his hand back.
"Well, then, maybe we should get started on that when we get back to the village." He said with a smirk as he leaned in and kissed her.
"Maybe we should." She said against his lips.
They just stood like that before Kagome pulled back and said, "Oh, you need to come see my time! I know your home, you should know mine. Is that alright?"
"Yes, of course. I would love to see your time. We'll go in the morning, alright?"
"Alright. We really need to be getting back to the village, it's getting late." She said as she pointed to the sun which was hovering above the horizon. They started out once again and reached the village soon after dusk. As they walked up to the hut Sango stepped out. Once she noticed them she ran up to them and pulled Kagome into a death grip hug.
"Oh my god! We were worried sick!Where have you been?What happened?And were you just hoding hands with Miroku?" Sango asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"Sango, would you like to join me in the hot springs?" Kagome said in a voice that said 'I'll tell you there'.
Sango understood what she meant and quickly nodded her head. she turned around and told Kyoko where they were going and gave him a quick kiss goodbye. Kagome looked towards Miroku to see if that had bothered him. He must have noticed her gaze because he looked back and gave her a reassuring smile. She just gave him a goodbye kiss as well and started to walk off. Sango looked at Miroku and raised an eyebrow, but followed Kagome silently.
They reached they hotsprings and stripped then sunk into the water. The hotwater felt really good. "Ah, the water feels so good on my sore muscles."
"I can only imagine why." Sango said. You could hear the smirk in her voice.
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Kagome questioned, eyeing her friend.
"Oh, like you don't know?" She asked an accusing voice. "What have you and Miroku been doing for like, the last day and a half."
" Oh, just, you know." She said while she started to blush.
"No I don't. How about you tell me." Sango persisted.
"Well, you know how whenMiroku asked me to bare his child and I told him no?"
"Yeah." she answered hesitantly.
"Well, last night, I made that answer a lie." She said quickly then dunked her head under the water to escape her friends shrieks.
"WHAT?" She yelled almost as loud as she could. "You, you... did that... with him?" Kagome just nodded her answer. "How the hell did this happen?" She asked unbelievingly.
"Well, I think it had a lot to do with the huge amount of sake we drank. And if so, then god bless the sake!" She exclaimed with a laugh.
"Sake? What sake? What are you talking about?" asked her very confused friend.
"Ok, let me start from the begining. But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone." She told her friend seriously.
"I promise." Sango answered as she raised her right hand.
"Ok, well Miroku is the only one I told this to.I told him last night." She started. "Well, anyway. You know how heart broken I was when Inuyasha and Kikyo got together, right?"
"Yeah."
"Ok, well, in my time when you reach the age of 21 you can start drinking, and I turned 21 three months ago. Ever since then I had grown a drinking problem. That's why I have been wearing so much perfume, to cover the scent of alchohol from Inuyasha. Well, yesterday I guess Miroku saw you and Kyoko together and became heartbroken. I ran into him in the forest and I just had to help him, and the only way I knew how was with the sake. So me and him drank alot of it and got drunk. Then I suggested we go swimming. Before we did, some things happened, we said we loved each other, which we do, then we got in the water, and then... well, yeah... you know."
Sango just sat there shocked, but recovered after a minute or two. There were so many questions running through her head. "So where do you guys stay last night?"
"In a cave behind the waterfall at the pond. We woke up about ten or so and set off. We quickly realized that since we had been so drunk last night we had no idea where we had come from. So that's why we got back so late, it took us forever to find the village." She said, answering a couple of her unasked questions.
"Oh. Wow. I- I can't believe I hurt him like that." She said diverting her gaze to the water.
"Don't be." She told her freind.
"What?"Sango asked as she looked up again.
"You see, if you and Kyoko hadn't gotten together, then me and Miroku wouldn't have run into each other, nothing last night wouldn've have happened, and we'd never be together. We should both be thanking you." She said, giving her friend a genuine smile.
"Oh, well, your welcome... I think." She added as an afterthought.
Kagome just laughed and put the cremerinse in her hair. "So, you ready to go shard hunting tomorrow?"
"Actually... we can't. Me and Miroku are going to my time tomorrow so that I can show him my world." Kagome said with a smile.
"More like your bedroom." Sango teased.
Kagome just shrieked and splashed her friend in the face. Sango splashed her back and it went on like this for a while before they gotup and went backto the village.
With the boys
After the girls went to the springs, there was an awkward silence between the two boys. Kyoko broke it first. "Soooo, what have you guys been doing?"
"You know, just stuff." Miroku answered, being a little shy on the subject.
"You guys together now?" Kyoko asked him.
"Yeah."
"Congradulations." He told him. They obviously weren't very big on talking.
"You too." He said back.
"What do you mean?" Kyoko questioned.
"You and Sango."
"Oh, so you know?" He asked uncomfortably. He knew how strongly he had felt towards Sango and felt kinda bad.
"Yeah, but hey, no hard feelings.I should be thanking you guys."He told him.
"What do you mean?" He asked curiously.
"You see, I saw you guys yesterday, and I felt so hurt that I just went running through the woods as fast as I could. Along the way I ran into Kagome, and that's how all of this happened. So if anything, I should be very thankful you guys got together, otherwise I wouldn't be with the woman I love right now." He explained with a warm smile.
"Oh, well, um... your welcome." He said said with a smile of his own.
At this time Inuyasha came running up to them. He turned to Miroku and yelled, "Where the hell have you been? And where's Kagome?"
"She's at the hot-" But he didn't get to finish before Inuyasha sniffed the air and started to growl. He grabbed Miroku by the collar and dragged him into th woods away from Kyoko, who just stood there dumbfounded.
Inuyasha let him go and turned towards him. "What happened last night?"
"Well, um... uh, me and Kagome got together. Hehe." He said sheepishly.
"I know that. But I mean was it because you had to?" He questioned him.
"What do you mean?" Miroku asked confused.
Inuyasha sighed then said. "I know you guys were drinking last night, alot. Are you together because you ended up doing something you regreted?"
"What? Oh god no!" He said waving his hands in front of his face. "I mean, we don't regret it." After that left his mouth Inuyasha started to growl. "Look, what I mean is that I love her deeply, we love each other. And while the sake probably made things go faster then normal, we plan on staying together forever, or at least I do."
"Your going to ask her to marry you, right?" Inuyasha said. Miroku felt like he was being interogated.
"First,I want to ask you something. Why do you even care? You chose Kikyo, remember?" He said looking him straight in the eye.
"My god, can't anyone let that go! Ugh! Look, I care because I still love her like a little sister. She is my best friend and I really don't want her getting hurt. Just remember that if you hurt her, then I will kill." He told him. "Now, are you going to ask her to marry you?"
"You don't have to worry. I would never hurt her. I love her to much." He assured his friend. " And yes, I do plan on asking her to marry me. I just don't know where or when yet. Ok?"
"Yeah, just promise you'll take care of her ok, I'm trusting you." He said sticking his hand out.
"Don't worry friend, I promise to take careof her with my life." Miroku said as he took his hand and shook it.
By the time they got back to camp the girls had already returned. Kagome explained that her and Miroku were going to her time for a while. Everyone said it was fine, even Inuyasha. Ever since they had defeated Naraku he let her return home much more often. With that out of the way everyone ate dinner and went to bed. That night, everyone fell into an easy sleep with the one that they love.
AN: Oh yay, I finished another chapter. Damn, that was long. I hope you like it. I just love Inuyasha acting like an older brother for Kagome. I wish thats how my older brothers were for me. and sorry that Kikyo isn't really in this, just imagine that most of the time shes off helping villagers with stuff. So yeah, I think that i have some interesting stuff that's going to happen. Some of it might be a little random too. like you just wouldn't expect it in this story. I'm not sure though. Well, plz review, I still think that 2 reviews is like pitiful. so, yeah. i hope to have the next chapter up soon. maybe ill have it up tonight, who knows. well, bye-byes.
