Midnight
Sango rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. It was dark; the only light was from the full moon coming from the window. It must have been very late. Why was she up right now?
She pulled the sheets close around her and looked down at her sleeping husband. The covers were half off him and he was snoring softly. She giggled to herself and lay back down supporting herself on her elbow. She ran her fingers gently through his hair. It wasn't in its usual ponytail; it hung loosely around his face. She didn't want to go back to sleep, a part of her wanted to wake him up and make passionate love to him.
She didn't have to wake him up though. A few minutes later he slowly opened his eyes. "Did I wake you?" she said.
He shook his head and yawned. "No, not at all. Why are you up this late?"
She shrugged. "I didn't feel like sleeping. You?"
"Didn't feel like sleeping."
"I guess we'll have to do something about that." She leaned down and kissed his lips.
"I can think of a few things we can do," he said.
"How about you show me?" she said pulling back her night robe.
"Gladly." He pulled her close to him and began passionately kissing her. After a few moments she pulled away from him. "Why did you stop?" he asked breathlessly.
"Go make sure they're all asleep. I don't want them walking in on us."
Miroku nodded and got up. He went into the next room where their children slept. Sure enough they were all fast asleep. Shinichi looked like he was about to fall off the edge of the bed onto the wood floor. He went over to him and positioned him away from the edge and pulled the covers back over all of them, then closed the door and went back in the other room with Sango.
"They're asleep?"
Miroku nodded. "Sleeping like a bunch of logs." She giggled at that as he got back on the bed with her. "Now my dearest, we've got some business to take care of," he said unfastening his robe.
