*A.N. This might be the last chapter I get out for a while. I just got a job and I know that is going to take a lot of free time from my hands. But I promise all the free time I do have I will be writing this story. P.S. I have a little something special in this chapter for all you Miroku/Sango fans.

"Inuyaaaaashaaaaa" Kagome whined. They had been walking for two days now with little stops. Inuyasha was still being stubborn so he refused to carry Kagome on his back. "Inuyasha please lets take a break" Sango pleaded. Inuyasha kept going. "You know where this castle is right Sango?" "Yeah" "So why don't we get rid of PMS demon boy over there and go ourselves" "You sure about that Kagome? It could be dangerous" "I know but you've got your boomerang"

Inuyasha acted like he wasn't listening but he could hear every word, 'What do I care if they go off by themselves, I could finally get some peace and quiet.' "I don't know Kagome, Sango is right it's dangerous out there all by yourselves" Shippo added. "Pheh you wouldn't last an hour in these woods" Inuyasha yelled. "Shut up mutt who asked you?" Kagome yelled at him. Inuyasha now was really pissed. No one called him a mutt and got away with it, except for Kouga.

Meanwhile somewhere close by some one was lurking in the woods. He could hear Inuyasha and Kagome yelling a mile away. He decided to head towards them and get his prey. He came closer and closer until he could see them. He moved directly behind his prey. He knew he would get hurt for his actions but he didn't care. He reached out and he grabbed it. "AAHHHH!!!!!" Sango screamed. Bingo!

Sango reached directly behind her and smacked him as hard as she could. "Miroku you pervert how many blows to the head do I have to give for you to stop touching my ass!!" "It was worth it" Miroku said still dazed by the slap he had received. Sango just turned around, hoping he wouldn't see the blush starting to creep across her face. 'Actually I kind of like it when he does that but he'll never see me as anything as but another woman who he can grope' Sango sighed a deep sigh and than turned back to Kagome.

"Miroku what are you doing here, I thought you were helping Kirara?" Shippo asked. "I was but they said there was nothing more for me to do and that they'd take care of her so I left. I've been tracking you guys for days" "Ok we've wasted enough time chit-chatting, lets go" Inuyasha said suddenly. "Damn I almost forgot about him" Kagome whispered to Sango.

As they started walking Miroku came up beside Sango. "Hey I'm sorry about what I did back there." "Hey it's alright, I've gotten used to it by now, I mean I've had to put up with you pervertidness for over 7 years now" Miroku wanted to talk more but Kagome dragged Sango away saying something about a 'girl-to-girl' talk, whatever that meant. "Kagome what's the deal?" Sango cried rubbing her arm. Kagome just grinned at her. "What?" "You have a crush on Miroku don't you?" Sango began to blush again, "I knew it!" Kagome cried. "Shhh keep it down" Sango warned as Miroku looked back to see what all the yelling is about. He decided to try and knock some sense into Inuyasha and try to get him talking to Kagome again.

"So so, how long have you liked him?" Kagome asked eagerly. "5 years" Kagome's jaw dropped, "5 years?? and you still haven't told him yet? What is wrong with you?" "He'd never like me, he only sees me as another woman for him to grope" she sighed. "You don't know that, try telling him " "What about you" Sango said changing the subject. "Do you still love Inuyasha?" "Of course I do, he is the father of my son, and my first love, it's just...." Kagome started to tear up a bit. "Now he refuses to talk to me and he acts like he hates me" Kagome couldn't go on. "I'll make a deal with you Kagome, you tell Inuyasha tonight that you still love him and I'll tell Miroku that I love him, deal?" Kagome smiled through her tears. "Deal"

"Alright we'll rest here for the night" Inuyasha called out. He found the nearest tree and climbed up on a branch. Miroku sat down on a nearby hill. Shippo had already been asleep for the past hour so Kagome just set him down near a rock. She looked at Sango and Sango just nodded. Now was the time. Kagome walked over to Inuyasha and Sango walked over to Miroku.

~Miroku and Sango~

Sango quietly walked up to the young monk who seemed to be deep in thought about something. He didn't even notice her until she sat down on the grass next to him. "Hey what are you thinking about, you seemed deep in thought about something when I walked up" "It was nothing" The two just sat there in silence for a few minutes, looking up at the stars when suddenly a shooting star went by. "Wow what was that?" Miroku asked. "Kagome called it a shooting star, she says if you see it, and make a wish it'll come true" "Did you make a wish?" "Yeah I did" She started inching her face closer and closer to Miroku's. "Sango what are you do..." he was cut off by Sango's lips. After a few minutes she pulled away "That was what I wished for tonight, and every night for the past 5 years" she whispered. She stared at Miroku waiting for him to say something. At first Miroku's reaction was shock than a smile. "I've wished for the same thing" He than pulled Sango closer and kissed her, this time longer. When they pulled apart they stared at each other for the longest time. Miroku finally broke the silence, "So does this mean you'll bear my child?"

~Kagome and Inuyasha~

Kagome gulped not knowing what to say. She turned back towards Sango to see how she was doing and she couldn't believe what she saw. She saw Miroku talking and then saw Sango practically attack the poor guy in the middle of talking. ~I don't know if I can do this~ She then remembered the time before Ryuu came. How he would hold her and kiss her, not in front of anyone else of course. Surely he couldn't have locked away all his feelings for her. She took a deep breath and walked up to the tree Inuyasha was in. Inuyasha was just about to fall asleep when... "Inuyasha are you awake?" He looked down and saw Kagome staring up at him. "Go away" "No I need to talk to you" "Well I don't want to listen to you" After saying that Inuyasha heard it, a sound so foreign yet so familiar. ~Oh no, not that, anything but that~ First it started with just little sniffles, than the tears came and the sniffles became sobs. He hated it, hated it when she cried, especially when he was the one who made her cry. "Fine you don't have to listen if you don't want to. I just came over here to tell you that I still love you Inuyasha" With that she turned and ran away.

Inuyasha was in shock. ~She still loves me? After all this time, after all the mean things I said and did to her~ He realized he needed to go and apologize before it was too late. He hopped down from the tree and walked over to where she sat down. She was still crying when Inuyasha got to her. Kagome stood up to walk away, when she was grabbed by her wrist. Inuyasha spun her around so she would look at him, he knew the one thing Kagome couldn't resist about him was his eyes. Kagome looked up and the first thing she saw were his eyes. ~Damn him he knows I can't resist his eyes~ Both of them just stared at each other for what seemed like forever, Inuyasha made the first move. He cupped her chin in his clawed hand, bent down and kissed her, this time not caring who was watching. However this time someone was watching. Miroku and Sango both watched from the bushes. ~I knew he still loved her~ Miroku thought. ~Well Kagome it looks like we both got we wanted tonight~ Sango thought happily looking up at Miroku.

Inuyasha and Kagome finally pulled apart. "Kagome I'm so sorry" Inuyasha whispered. Miroku and Sango took this as a cue to leave so they went to bathe in the nearest hot-spring. "I said all those mean things you, I even made you cry" Kagome put her finger to Inuyasha's lips to silence him. "I know you are sorry, but only doing one thing will make me forgive you" "What I'll do anything?" "Inuyasha the only thing that you can do to make me forgive you is.......sit" Inuyasha slammed into the ground. ~Man I missed saying that~

*A.N* As you noticed this chapter did not have Ryuu in it. I just wanted to get Inuyasha's apology to Kagome done and out of the way. Plus I wanted to get Miroku and Sango done too. Ryuu will be in the next chapter.
