A/N:  Ok just so I don't get anymore threatening reviews, I'm gonna write the next chapter of this story right now! So without any ramblings from me, here's Chapter 7!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha and I wouldn't get threatening letters if I did.

Inuyasha has 3 days to live

     Sango opened her eyes and saw, Miroku and Shippo already awake and cooking breakfast. "Good morning Sango!" Miroku said cheerfully but was interrupted by Shippo saying, "He tried to do something while you were sleeping, luckily I caught him in time…" Sango then threw a nearby boulder at the monk, who was immediately smashed flat. "Hentai!" she finished and walked over to Shippo to pat him on the head for a job well done.

     "Here's the candy as promised." Sango said and handed him a gumball Kagome gave her. "Yay!" shouted Shippo and he quickly devoured the ball. "Do I at least get a chance to explain myself?..." Miroku asked wearily from under the boulder. "NO!!"

     The breakfast after was very silent. Everybody was thinking hard about Inuyasha. Time was beginning to grow short. If they didn't finish the potion in time, Inuyasha would die. "All right!! Enough sitting around! We need to get the rest of the ingredients today!! While there's still time left. Now come on!" Miroku declared and started out of their campsite. Sango and Shippo quickly ran behind on Kirara's back. They quickly grabbed Miroku and flew off into the air to find another ingredient

     Meanwhile a dark shadow figure laid in deep trees, watching the cat demon fly by. He smiled and said "Did you think I was going to make it that easy for you? Heh." The figure then leapt from tree to tree, closely following the group without notice. So time passed as usual. The four flying around and searching for something, anything that might resemble an ingredient. "What do we have left anyway?" Sango asked not really caring. "Man this is boring; umm I think a golden goblet and a kiss of true love. Maybe it'll take me and you to do that one…" Miroku implied but was quickly hit by Sango. She had to admit she was blushing though.

     "Who could have a golden goblet?" Shippo asked curiously, ignoring the fight. When they didn't stop, Shippo yelled at them for a few minutes and they actually stopped. (A/N: Wow go Shippo, go Shippo…) "Now that we're done being children…where do you think we can get a golden goblet?" "Well we'd need to go to someone who has money, someone who has power. Someone like…." Miroku stopped, deep in thought. "SESSHOMARU!!!" Sango yelled out loudly for about all Japan to hear. (Somewhere in Japan, the great Sesshomaru had a sneezing fit, "Jakken, fetch me a hanky!!")

     "What'd you scream for?" Miroku asked.

"I dunno…I wanted you to hear?..." Sango replied blushing in embarrassment.

"Well she has the right idea, but I don't think Sesshomaru…" Shippo started but didn't finish. He was now face to face, with Fluffy himself.

"Did someone say my name?" he asked calmly.

"Uhh…she did before me!" Shippo said. He then quickly pointed towards Sango and covered his head to try and protect himself.

    Sesshomaru quickly flew over to Sango's face and didn't even say anything. He just waited for an explanation. "Well…uh you see the reason why I said your name, was because you're very rich and powerful. And we, as in all of us, were wondering if you by chance had a golden goblet." Sango finished with a big toothy smile.

"As a matter of fact I do, but what is it going to be needed for?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Well Inuyasha's sick and we were asked to get the ingredients to a potion to cure him. And one of those is the cup. Could we please have it Sesshomaru! We'll do anything to get it!" Sango finished by clapping her hands together in a pleading position.

     "Of course you may have it…" Sesshomaru said. The three started throwing confetti in the air and celebrating on the still flying Kiara. "…That is unless you can get it" He finished.

"What do you mean?" the three asked in unison.

 "My golden goblet is held in a chamber in my castle. Unfortunately for you, the chamber has a dragon youkai guarding the treasure in the room. I can get passed it easily, but I'm not going to just give it to you. If you can manage to get it from the room, you may keep it." Sesshomaru finished and jumped off Kirara. "Follow this direction, for a while and you should see my castle come into range. I hope you find it!" Fluffy called, then speeded back to his two companions.

     "Great, I knew it wasn't going to be that easy." Sango said brushing away the confetti. Kirara then headed into the direction Fluffy advised.

"Life never is easy." Miroku replied and leaned forward and held on tighter to Sango's waist. Sango actually let him stay there, but promised herself if he did anything funny, he'd get hit with a big boomerang. After a while, Sango realized Miroku wasn't going to try anything and she leaned back into him. She just wanted to stay in his innocent grip that was so warm on her body. She felt like she could fall asleep any moment.

"Sango…?"  Miroku called.

"Yes? What is it?" she replied half drowsy.

"Well, since Shippo fell asleep, I wanted to tell you something."

'He must have felt the warmth too' Sango thought. "What is it?"

"Well, I know this may be awkward coming from me now, and I don't have factual proof of what I'm going to say, but I'll say it anyway. I think Inuyasha and Kagome are really starting to show their feelings to one another now and I'm kind of jealous. I feel that they're going to get ahead of the two of us and do something drastic before we do. Now I know that sounds so "hentai"ish but, it's true. I just want to keep up and not wait for a day that will never come to tell you how I feel, so now is as good a time as ever. I just wanted to say, I love you Sango. I grope other girls because of my nature, but I'm truly deeply in love with only one person and that's you. I love you and I just wanted to let you know. So when Kagome and Inuyasha come up to us after this is all over and say, we're in love, we can say and so are we. I love you Sango."

     Silence filled the air. Sango was so shocked that she would have fallen off her cat had not Miroku's arm been wrapped tightly around her waist. She couldn't believe that now of all a time, he admitted to his love for her. She then turned around and was only an inch from his face.

"Oh…Miroku…I love you too…" Sango said. She then got close and kissed him softly.

     Miroku only slightly surprised by this, felt stunned for a moment. It was quickly gone, and he embraced her back, fully. The two sat there in that same lip lock, for about a minute, neither wanting to stop. Sango finally broke free for air and watched as the spit linked both of their tongues for a moment as she pulled away. Both panted heavily as they looked into each others eyes. Sango couldn't believe she just kissed him in such a wild manner, but she didn't care, she finally got to kiss him. Sango then without another word, went right back to him, indulging in another kiss. Shippo just sat there and watched only giggling once, but was unheard.

     Soon after Sango and Miroku decided to stop making out and just hold hands, they reached the castle. Sesshomaru's castle was a very dark and dank tall building. There were towers all around the main base and there was a moat and drawbridge, which was currently up.

"Can we fly over?" Miroku asked.

"No, look. Sesshomaru made it so the only entrance was this bridge. And it seems there's no way to open it from the outside." Sango scanned the building for clues. "Hey Shippo, do you think you could fly over to that window and squeeze in?" Sango asked.

"Sure!" Shippo replied. He then turned into a small pink balloon.

"Now once you're inside, look for a lever near the door and push it." Sango instructed as
Shippo flew off.

     Shippo used some energy to reach the window. When he finally got in, he turned back into normal Shippo and looked around the hallway. There was a conveyer switch near the up bridge and Shippo went over to push it. He struggled for a moment, but it soon fell into the opposite direction and fell open. Miroku and Sango were kissing when the door opened and Shippo stared, unbelievingly at them. He then coughed loudly and they quickly broke apart and headed inside.

"Wow this place is huge!" Shippo exclaimed looking around.

     The walls were furnished with several paintings, most of which bared symbols of demons and demon slaughter. Also there were furnishings around the castle but most were so old and fragile that, if you touched them, they would break.

"Where is this room anyway?" Sango asked as they climbed the stairs to the second floor.

"Sesshomaru didn't say. I guess we'll have to find it on our own." Miroku said looking back at the first floor to see if they missed anyplace's.

(A/N: You don't want the boring part do you? So we skip to where the room is…)

     The four finally arrived at the room on the seventh floor at the end of the hallway. A huge double door was blocking the way. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo all leaned on the giant door until it finally opened enough for them to inch in. Inside was the most beautiful picture, a greedy king could wish for. Piles and piles of gold and gems lay scattered about the floor. Diamonds, rubies, sapphires, gold, and then some all laid on the ground. Miroku felt like diving in and swimming but then he heard a terrible noise. A huge snarl was coming from behind a pillar in the room, then a dragon creature stuck it's head out from behind to see the intruders. When it took them into account, it jumped completely making itself visible. It was a huge green youkai dragon with a long skinny neck, bulky body, and tiny wings.

"Shippo while we deal with this, you try to find the goblet!" Miroku yelled at him prepared to fight. "Right!" he exclaimed and started searching the room.

     As soon as Shippo moved the dragon attacked. Molten lava was spat all over the room and gold and money quickly melted on the spot Miroku and Sango just were.

"If we don't kill this thing now, it'll melt the entire room! Including the goblet and us!" Sango shouted, dodging more lava. "Hiraikotsu!!" Sango shouted and threw her bone. The bone went straight for the beasts' neck and made a slight indentation. The dragon seemed to choke on some lava it was about to spew and quickly swallowed half. All of a sudden lava was leaking from the dragon's stomach onto the stone floor. The creature soon tried to spit out more lava but it swallowed that bunch too.

"The youkai's gonna blow up!" Sango shouted watching the dragon turn red.

"Shippo did you find it?!" Miroku called over to him.

"Wait…wait…Here it is!!!" Shippo exclaimed.

"Let's get out of here!" Sango shouted grabbing Miroku and Shippo and storming out the door and slamming it shut. A sudden bang was heard from inside and the door became quickly hot.

"We got it!" Shippo said wiping some ash from his face.

"Yeah and we got this!" Miroku said and poured a huge pile of gold and gems from his hidden pockets. "Wow Miroku! This'll last a lifetime! I hope Sesshomaru won't be mad though…" Sango said also wiping ash away. "Let's not wait around to find out!" Miroku said and set off at a run down the steps, to the exit, and outside into the night.

"Wow, it's night already?" Sango asked as they all got on Kirara again to head home. "Yeah well, it took us a long time to find that room. I think we went into about 400 rooms on those 6 floors." Miroku said sighing tiredly and gripping Sango again. "Yeah…"

~******~

"Wow this goblet's nice and shiny!" Shippo said polishing it and looking at his reflection. They had returned to camp and eaten dinner by now and were almost ready to go to sleep.

"We never checked up on Kagome or Inuyasha today." Sango said from Miroku's grip. "I'm sure they won't miss us. They probably want to be alone. Like me…" Miroku replied with a half hentai smile.

"You stop it!" Sango said giggly avoiding Miroku's tickles. When he finally stopped, they gave each other a goodnight kiss and went to sleep in each others arms. Shippo went and lied next to Kirara, and placed the trophy under him for safe keeping. After cuddling up with the cat, Shippo quickly fell asleep.

Meanwhile in a tree nearby a dark shadow was plotting. 'You'll soon find out that your job is only halfway done…' the figure thought and quickly went into action.

A/N: Well I actually got this done, since I had nothing else to do and I'm not sleepy. Well now I am anyway. It's 3:09 am right now so it's about time for me to go. Umm all the reviews except Lavenders said post the next chapter and Lav didn't ask anything so I've got nothing to say. Warning for the next chapter though. I may go out of my PG-13 boundaries with it so I'm going to specifically place where it starts and stops. So if you don't want to read anything like that you won't have to. So see you next chapter! Ja!

Lav's note: Ok, if it says "Kiara" anywhere, this baka means Kirara. Do you guys have any idea how annoying it is to go through the entire fic and fixing that? *glares sporks at the author* Oh, and don't ask about the "youkai dragon" it wasn't my idea. I think he forgot to take his medicine when he was writing this….
