Miroku watched as Sango slept close to the fire attempting to keep warm in the unnatural cold. He pulled off the purple cloth on his robes and stretched it out over her to give her added warmth. His heart squeezed as she settled beneath the cloth and sighed contented. He'd been so close to losing her and he refused to let it happen again.
Kagome sat on the far side of the fire with Inuyasha's head in her lap. She had made him sleep to rest up for the morning. She watched Miroku tenderly wrap Sango up in his cloth and smiled gently as she ran her hands through Inuyasha and Shippos hair.
"You set my soul at ease
Chased darkness out of view
Left your desperate spell on me
Say you feel it too
I know you do
I've got so much more to give
This can't die, I yearn to live
Pour yourself all over me
And I'll cherish every drop here on my knees" She sang quietly. Miroku looked up and watched her feelings his heart bursting at the seams. He looked back down to the sleeping woman before him as Kagome continued to sing and felt a knot loosen inside of him at the thought that Kagome felt for Inuyasha, the way he felt for Sango.
"I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do?
Cuz from the moment that I saw your face
And felt the fire in your sweet embrace
I swear I knew.
I'm gonna love you forever" Miroku knew that Naraku could kill him, he knew that if they didn't succeed in their mission soon the windtunnel could spread, could rip and then he would have to leave Sango.
"My mind fails to understand
What my heart tells me to do
And I'd give up all I have just to be with you
and that would do
I've always been taught to win
And I never thought I'd fall
Be at the mercy of a man
I've never been
Now I only want to be right where you are." But…with her here with him, he refused to believe they wouldn't be happy. He wanted so bad to be happy with her. To see her swell with his child, to hold her hand as they ate, hold her in his arms as they slept. To just be with her.
"I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do?
Cuz from the moment that I saw your face
And felt the fire in your sweet embrace
I swear I knew.
I'm gonna love you forever" His father had never spoken of his mother. He often wondered as he'd grown and started to notice the beauty of women around him if it was because he hadn't loved his mother, if she was just a means to an end. But lately, after meeting his beautiful woman, after falling in love with this strong woman, he wondered if it was because he had loved her so much that he wished to forget her when she was gone.
"In my life I've learned that heaven never waits
Lets take this now before it's gone like yesterday
Cuz when I'm with you there's nowhere else
That I would ever wanna be no
I'm breathing for the next second I can feel you
Loving me ... I'm gonna love" Miroku could never imagine living without Sango. If she were to die, he would want to die with her. He loved Kagome and Inuyasha and Shippo, he did, but Sango was his one and only. He growled softly as he thought of Naraku and knew that he would kill Naraku. He would kill Naraku and save Kohaku so that Sango could have her family back. Even if it killed him in the process.
"I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do?
Cuz from the moment that I saw your face
And felt the fire in your sweet embrace
I swear I knew.
I'm gonna love you forever" Kagome trailed off and reached a hand out to Miroku. He clambered to his feet and knelt at her side trying to not disturb Inuyasha. "Miroku. I can feel your thoughts from over here. You are not going to die. You and Sango are going to marry and be very happy."
Miroku smiled gently at his sister. "I hope so Kagome. I want to make Sango happy."
Kagome glared at his slightly condescending tone. "Miroku, shut up. I don't hope. I know!" She held a hand to the single jewel shard in her possession. "Even if I have to use the jewel to make it happen; it will!"
Miroku looked taken aback. "You'd use the jewel on this? What about Inuyasha?"
Kagome smiled and ran a hand through Inuyasha's hair. "You're a fool if you think he'd wish something for himself over all the rest of us." She quirked an eyebrow at him, "You're not a fool…are you?"
The monk bowed acknowledging her statements truth. "You're right. I'm not a fool. Inuyasha would give up his wish for any of us."
"Yes he would, but he doesn't want to give up his sleep. Now shut…up." Inuyasha said pulling his haori over his head.
Miroku chuckled and patted Inuyasha's shoulder. "Night grumpy." He dodged snapping teeth and wandered over to settle next to Sango. He smiled at Kagome before closing his eyes. Kagome was on guard and he trusted her with his life and more importantly with Sangos.
The next morning Kagome shook Miroku awake and he opened his eyes to see Inuyasha up and moving about the clearing as he sniffed in different directions. "According to Kikyo," He said as he moved around, "He'll be by dead cow carcasses."
Sango nodded taking a bite of the chocolate that Kagome had given her. "We'll need to get food along the way. We're almost out."
'There's a village just down the road.' Miroku said, "We can go there."
"Good idea." Kagome said gripping Inuyasha's hand gently. "While we walk why don't you go into the tree tops, see if you can catch the scent from up there?"
Inuyasha nodded and squeezed Kagome's hand. They quickly gathered all their things and Miroku retied his robes after a blushing Sango handed the cloth back to him. Then they were on their way.
I know its a bit short and I am so sorry for that! Its coming to the end, probably 25 chaps will finish it.
However I have a number of questions for those who read:
1. Do you want any specific events; ex. Miroku/Sango kiss, Sesshy shows up, etc
2. Do you want a epilogue from like 5 years down the road?
3. In truth the whole story I tried to use a song in each chapter, for future reference does it annoy or is it enjoyable?
Please tell me what you like or don't I'm working on new ideas for another story and I want to write something you guys will enjoy!
Review!
