Disclaimer- I really don't own Inuyasha! I promise!

Ok strange question. How in the world are some middle chapters the least read. Chapters six and seven have wayyy fewer hits than eight and nine. How does that work? It's a mystery to me. Anyone got a clue?

Thanks for reviews:

Kitsune Lizzie- It would indeed be hilarious if Sesshy did that, but we all know how out of character that'd be. I think one secret love affair is enough…it's stating to be like the movie closer…haha. Though I'm betting Sesshy really wants too…

kittyb78- Heheh yes…its nice that he's finally got one no? Kagome and Inuyasha are quite naughty right now…shame on them indeed. Karma will follow them soon enough…

poems2songs- Yes, these sort of things are never one sided…I think. Don't worry we're so close to the present we could almost taste it!

teejay- I bet you're still shivering with antica…(lean in closer)…PATION! (Anyone see the Rocky Horror Picture Show?) Thanks and yes this emotional roller coaster of a story is almost ready to plunge down! (Good metaphor no?)

Ok...onward.

Chapter 14

Can't Stop This Thing We Started

Sango was beside herself. For once she had the perfect date with Miroku. He didn't say any stupid or lecherous comments. He was a perfect gentleman, charming and witty as he always was. Lying with him in bed that night made her feel happy, content and completely satisfied.

After having what Sango would refer to as 'mind blowing sex' they cuddled together. Sango nestled her head in Miroku's chest when he began to talk.

"Sango?"

"Mmm"

"You probably don't remember, but I asked you a question a few months ago…you said yes, but you were drunk."

Sango sat up. "Oh really? What is it?"

"Well it's a little strange, but I think we've reached a point in our relationship where I'm more than comfortable to ask you."

"Ok…shoot." Sango was curious, but still apprehensive.

"Sango?"

"Yes?"

"Would you bear my son?"

Sango's eyes widened. "Say what now?"

Sango walked into her apartment like a zombie. She was in total complete shock. How could Miroku ask such a question? It freaked her out.

She was so angry with herself, here she was thinking she found the right guy and it turns out he's a freak like every other boy she went out with.

She felt bad though. Right after Miroku dropped the baby bomb she slap Miroku and ran out so fast Miroku didn't even get a chance to explain. All she got from him was that he needed an heir and that she was the right woman he could produce it with.

She was the one he was looking for.

She was definitely disturbed.

"KAGOME!" She called into the room to wake her up.

Kagome woke up with a jolt. She saw Inuyasha next to her and remembered her promise to Sango.

"Oh shit." She muttered to herself. She shoved Inuyasha off the bed.

"What the fu…" Kagome covered his mouth.

"Sango's here…hide under the bed. We need to sneak you out of here!"

Inuyasha quickly dove under the bed, just as Sango walked into the room.

"Kagome…" She cried and sat on the bed. "I'm such an idiot."

"What's wrong?"

"Miroku's a crazy freak. THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG!"

"Whoa…slow down Sango! What happened?"

"He wants me to bear his child."

"WHAT!?" Kagome was also confused and shocked at the question.

Inuyasha had the same reaction, though he mouthed it trying not the make a sound.

"I know…ugh I really thought he could be…the guy." Sango sighed thoughtfully. "You know?"

"Yeah I know. Ok, I suggest you take a rest today. Take a nice hot bath and frget about your troubles for a half hour."

"Yeah that sounds good." Sango agreed. "I'll see you soon." She grabbed a towel and went into the bathroom.

Inuyasha crawled out form under the bed. The two kissed passionately as if they had been separated for longer than to minutes. He then quickly pulled on his pants and teeshirt, which had thankfully dried overnight.

"I'll call you later." Inuyasha grinned.

"Ok. Great."

He kissed her again and ran out of the apartment. Kagome let out a sigh of relief for not being caught.

Miroku and Sesshoumaru sat in the bar that night. Miroku, depressed over Sango possibly breaking up with him had decided to get completely pissed. He also managed to drag along a very reluctant Sesshoumaru.

"I can't believe this. She's the one. And I scared her off."

"Well you didn't tihnk she'd actually agree...especially the way you asked her."

"I know it was stupid, but I can't tell her the full story just yet. This sucks. It looks like I'm not gonna get the girl or an heir."

Sesshoumaru sighed. "Just give her space. You have some time."

"Not that much."

"Still, give her space and time. Who knows maybe she'll come around."

Miroku perked up. "Yeah? You really think so?"

"Fuck no." Sesshoumaru said cynically and drank his beer.

Miroku sighed. "So who's watching Rin?"

"Kikyo. They're having a sleepover at her place."

"She's really great. Great hips."

Sesshoumaru gave him the deathstare. He didn't want to hear any perverted comments about Kikyo.

"For having kids. Relax Sess! You'd think she was your fiance. Sheesh."

Sesshoumaru sighed. If only.

A few days later Kagome and Inuyasha found themselves once again in Kagome's bed.

Inuyasha was sleeping as Kagome began strumming a guitar and hummed a sweet tune. Inuyasha stirred waking up to Kagome's humming. He got up and kissed the nape of her neck.

"Good afternoon." He whispered in her ear.

"Mmmm very good." She continued to strum the guitar.

"I haven't seen you playing that thing since high school."

"Yeah I kind of gave up on the music thing. I didn't want to be a starving artist."

"Yeah, but you always looked incredibly hot playing it. Especially after we'd have sex."

"Well doing it with you always led to a divine inspiration." She smiled and kissed him.

They pulled apart. Inuyasha was still reminiscing.

"I remember in the tenth grade when you went through this whole hippie phase. You would write and sing these ridiculous folk songs."

Kagome crossed her arms. "They weren't ridiculous!"

"They were. Really funny too, unintentionally of course."

"I put my heart and soul in that music." She pouted.

"I'm sure you did." He kissed her shoulder blade. "I have to go soon."

"Back to Kikyo." Kagome put her head down.

"I…Kagome this is a really hard situation. You understand. You have Hojo."

"I know. I can't help it. I'm slightly jealous."

Their eyes met for a moment. Inuyasha sighed and broke it.

"I really gotta go." He gave her a kiss and began getting dressed.

Kagome put the guitar down and put on her clothes as well.

"Call me later." She asked.

"You bet on it." He kissed her and headed out the door.

A few hours later there was a knock at Kikyo's door. When she opened the door Inuyasha was standing there. His hands were in his pockets. He looked like a young teenager again in his teeshirt and jeans. As cute as he looked Kikyo had to stand her ground and stay mad at him.

"Where have you been?" She crossed her arms. She was still angry.

"I've been cooling off. I'm sorry about our last fight."

"You could have called. All I get is a few lousy texts! And how come you haven't been at Sesshoumaru's?"

"I've been crashing at Miroku's…he's been upset since Sango dumped him."

"They broke up?" Kikyo frowned. She knew how much Sango liked him. She made a mental note to call her to talk about it later.

"Yeah…" He looked at her with his golden brown eyes. Her anger melted away almost instantly.

"Inuyasha." She stepped toward him. "I really missed you."

"I-I missed you too."

"Stay over tonight. Can you just sleep here? Can we just sleep?"

Their eyes met, but this time Inuyasha didn't turn away. He grabbed Kikyo and just held her for what seemed like hours. He never realized how hard it was to let her go.

Until now.

Hope you enjoyed! As you can tell we're getting closer and closer to the present! Hoorah! I feel so accomplished haha

Like I said it is very close, for instance Kagome took out her guitar! So get ready!
