CHAPTER 2
Snow Lovers
The next morning I awake to the smell of pancakes. I sit up and rub my eyes.
"Good morning Shippo." Sango says as she brings in a tray of pancakes.
"Good morning." I say in a yawn. When Sango returns out side, I start to eat my pancakes. I munch away, thinking about the banging noise I heard that night.
~Outside~ I strolled out licking my lips.
"Morni'n Shippo! Miroku calls. I ran over to him, leaping over stones. He was building a wall out of snow.
"What are you doing that for?" I asked as I poked it. He gasped as it crumbled into pieces.
"Oppsie." I said looking at the pile of crumbled snow. Miroku just looked at the pile, and started re-building it.
"As I was saying before my wall of defense fell down." he started, but I butted in.
"Some wall of defense.." I snickered. He gave an angry glare at me and continued to work.
"Ahem." he said "I wanted to know if you wanted to be on my team." I looked puzzled at him. Suddenly. SMACK!
"Ow!" I yelled, for a snowball had just got pelted off my head. Inuyasha snickered and ducked behind his wall. His was a lot bigger, yet it was not very wide.
"He has chosen to attack!" Miroku yelled suddenly. I handed me a couple snowballs.
"Fire!" he yelled. We flung them at Inuyasha and it only hit his solid wall. I had one left in my hand. I threw it and Inuyasha had just poked his head over the wall, thinking we were done. SMACK! It hit him square in the face. Some one started to laugh. We looked over to the frozen duck pond to see Kagome and Sango laughing their heads off!
"Th..that was so, FUNNY!" they gasped, still laughing. That night we went in the palace to warm up. Miroku had said there still was evil work going on here, and it would only take a night longer. I cuddled up to Kagome, hot chocolate in hand. I had grabbed a mug of coffee but she took it away.
'It will make you hyper, and stunt your growth.' She said. Even though I knew I was not going to grow any bigger than I was. Miroku had left to "get rid of the evil deamons at work here" and Inuyasha was outside sitting on a frozen branch of the willow tree. Sango was telling one of her childhood stories and Kilala was chasing a shadow made by the candle. We all froze when we heard a loud crash from outside. Kilala had stopped and was listing for another sound. I cuddled even closer to Kagome, afraid of what might be out there. A dark shadow loomed over the sliding doors. It slowly began to open.and Inuyasha stepped in covered in snow. I let out a big breath of relief. Kagome chuckled.
"What happened to you?" she asked trying to keep from laughing. He shook the snow off and sat down.
"Nothin." He said angrily.
"Aw, common, Inuyasha!" she tried again.
"Ok, ok. The branch broke and I fell ok?" He crossed his hands. "Humph."
~*~ I snuggled into the warm bed. Kagome and Inuyasha had already gone to sleep. Sango had gone to look for Miroku, for he had not returned yet. I slowly drifted off to sleep.
~*~ Sango came up from behind Miroku.
"What's wrong?" she asked as she lay a hand on his shoulder. He turned around suddenly.
"Oh, umm, nothing." He lied. She looked in his eyes once again, this time not releasing them. Miroku had turned around by now and had clasped his arms around her.
"Miroku, I.." she started but lost her voice when he had pulled her closer. He gazed into her luscious brown eyes and rubbed a thumb on her cheek. Sango closed her eyes, and opened them slowly again. Miroku leaned in, and he had met her lips. He put his whole hand on the side of her face now, and she had laid a soft hand on his back. They stood there in a loving embrace nothing mattered to them now, nothing.
