Chapter 5:
"Achoooo!" Sneezed Miroku. 'Oh great have I caught a cold?' Inuyasha and Kagome hadn't arrived yet and Sango and Miroku were patiently waiting for their return.
"It's been two whole days." Sango sighed, "Well let those two lovebirds be alone I say." She giggled.
"Yeah.I know what you mean. It's so obvious they're together now. It's funny how they still try to hide it." They both laughed in unison now. "Achhhooo! Achoo!"
"Houshi-sama? Are you coming down with something?" She reached over and touched his forehead. He blushed slightly at her touch. "You're burning up." She left his side and dampened a cloth, placing it on his forehead.
"Lady Sango..Achoo!"
"Gosh Houshi.why didn't you say something earlier?"
"It just started acting up now. Man this is gonna out me out for a couple days. Inuyasha won't be too thrilled."
"If he's got a problem with it he'll just have to answer to me. Besides He's the one who's been gone for 2 whole days."
"Sango." He smiled at her remark.
"I know just the thing to make you feel better." She grabbed his hand and took him into the woods.
"Ano..Lady Sango?"
"Here, hot springs should help lower that fever of yours. Go ahead get in; I'm leaving."
"Demo.."
"No buts! This is an order; you gotta get well, ne?" Sango was acting like a mother. Oddly enough it came quite naturally to her. She almost scared herself. Miroku was stunned by her unusual behavior. 'She was right, this does help. What is up with her though? She's been acting odd all day, like she's trying to tell me something. Anyhow I'll just enjoy it while it lasts.' He smirked as he soaked in the warmth. Just then the bushes began to shake. Miroku jumped up just in time to see Sango come through them. "Oh, gomen." 'I knew I should have said something before I barged in.'
"Sorry too.it's just a reaction. Hehehe." He laughed nervously.
"I brought you some herbal tea. Thought it might help." She walked close to the side of the spring. Unfortunately, she'd forgotten that the rocks were.well.slippery and she fell in.
"Sango!" Without thinking he grabbed her and sat her on the bank of the spring. He had wrapped his robe around his waist. After Sango had come out of shock, she realized someone's lips were on hers. *Smack* "Owww." It was Miroku of course, trying to revive her. She got up and backed away. "Ano." Miroku rubbed his cheek, "Gomen."
"No I'm sorry, it was a reaction. I didn't mean to slap you."
"I was worried that you weren't breathing, so yeah."
"It's okay. Oh great the tea," Sango said as she picked up one of the cups. "I'll go get some more."
"Don't worry about it. Arigato for taking care of me. I'm sorry if I've troubled you."
"Not at all, not at all."
"Sango, you've been acting very curiously today."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"You haven't slapped me once...oh never mind." She just did. She smiled warmly. He was only wearing his outer robe around his waist; she had a hint of a blush. Sango hadn't seen him without his robe off before; it was rather enticing. Miroku noticed his attire.
"I'll go back to camp now, Houshi-sama."
"Yes you should rest. I'll be there in a second." She headed back alone. 'What am I doing? Acting like his wife or something? He would never think of me that way.' Sango thought to herself. 'Sure he says I'm beautiful, demo what girl hasn't he already said that to? He'll never settle down, especially not for a girl like me.' Off in the distance she heard a faint and familiar word yelled: "Kazaana!!" 'Miroku!' She grabbed her boomerang and ran in the direction the sound echoed from. There lying on the ground was Miroku, his Kazaana sealed.
"Miroku! Are you alright?" He lifted up his head and opened his lavender-grey eyes.
"Lady Sango? What did you just..say?"
"I asked if you were alright?"
"No before that." She realized she had called his name and placed her hand over her mouth. He grinned and tried to stang up.
"You're weak from this silly cold. What were you doing.using that thing?"
"Ano, a baka weasel youkai attacked me out of nowhere. So my only defense was to use the Kazaana." She gently lifted him up and they walked back to the shack. "Arigato."
"Stop that already."
"Nani?"
"Saying thank you every time I do something to help you. It's nothing." He shook his head yes. "Now it's time to sleep." She said pointing at her sleeping bag.
"Demo that's your bed."
"Don't question me, just do it." He slowly crawled into the bed, not placing the covers on himself. She came over to his side and tucked him in.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why are you acting though..I'm really ill or something?"
"Because I want you to get better.that's all." His eyes became heavy and he shut them. She leaned over and gazed at his sleeping face and whispered: "And because I love you."
