Disclaimer: Inuyasha isn't mine...
Chapter 13:
The group started their journey again after their so called break. "We spent a whole frickin' week doing nothing!" Kagome raised her eye brow.
"Nothing, Inuyasha?" She questioned. He blushed and shut up. Miroku and Sango, who were walking behind them, chuckled lightly. "Well off to find the devil himself."
"But where do we look?"
"Let's start by going to villages. Maybe some odd occurrences have happened and who knows they might be linked to Naraku."
"Fine let's go." Inuyasha grumbled.
"Maybe we can find a nice inn to stay at."
"We just rested Kagome."
"Demo-"
"No, we keep moving. We wasted a week...wasn't that enough? I'm not tired!" He was being quite a jerk to her. She pouted and walked over to Sango's side. 'I guess nothing has changed. I thought if we were mates he'd be a little better. So much for that wish.' "Oi! Kagome stop acting like a baby!"
"Baka!"
"Nani? What did I do?"
"What haven't you done?" She sighed and lowered her head. Sango understood her feelings and placed her arm around her shoulder. Miroku knew where he wasn't wanted and trudged over to Inuyasha. He leaned over and whispered:
"You should try and understand her a little better. She's not as strong as you. Inuyasha, you should know that."
"But sometimes she's gotta push herself a little, but not to the point where she's tired."
"But look at her; she's already weary from today's trek." Inuyasha glanced over at her. She gave him *the glare* (the glare meaning-leave me the f*** alone!). He sighed and said nothing.
"Keh!" He jumped further ahead of the group, not looking back.
"I give up! I'm going home! Tell him I'll be back soon. Can I borrow Kirara?"
"Should she come back for you in a day?"
"Hai, that's fine." Kagome hopped onto Kirara when Inuyasha was even further up the path and took off to the well. 'I just need some time alone. I gave him all of me, yet he still acts as though we're enemies.' A tear trickled down her cheek; she wiped it away. 'Mustn't cry, don't give in to it.' It was no use her tears spilled against her cheeks.
"Well, we're here. Kagome, we'll rest here tonight, k?" He looked around to find she wasn't there. "Where's Kagome?"
"She went home for a day or so."
"What the hell for?"
"For some quiet time I suppose."
"Quiet time my ass!" Inuyasha ran off. Both of them sighed loudly and shook their heads.
"Well I guess it's just us tonight. Let's go find a nice inn, k?"
"Okay," Sango trailed behind him, "Do you think they'll be alright?"
"Aren't they always? They fight, they make up, they fight, and then make up. It's an everyday thing. Only today Kagome-sama was a lot more hurt."
"I can understand why." They both nodded their heads in agreement.
"Why was she angrier?"
"Oh it's nothing Shippo. It's an adult thing." Shippo had heard that many times and he was getting sick of it. Too many 'adult things' happened daily and he wanted to know what they were.
"Miroku you always say that. Elaborate." He crossed his arms and stared at the Houshi, who stared back in astonishment. "Well I'm tried of being treated like a baby."
"It's very hard to understand at your age Shippo. Just wait till you're older, k?" He sighed and shook his head yes as always.
"We'll try to treat you more like a man in other ways okay?" He smiled at the tajiya.
"Okay."
"Oh look here's a nice inn." Miroku walked up to the inn keeper.
"Hello Houshi-sama."
"Hello, kind sir. I was passing by your inn-" 'Oh great he's up to that again; he's so deceitful. Gosh Miroku.' She raised her eye brow at him when he beckoned for her to come. "Nani Sango?"
"Oh nothing." She sighed as she followed him.
'Why do I let little things like that bother me so much? If he upsets me so much why do I still love him? Maybe it's his smile, or the way he asks 'Are you okay?' with that sweet concerned face.' She smiled at her thoughts. A knock on the door sounded. She tried to hide where the trail of tears had been. "Come in!" A sorrowful face appeared in the doorway. "Inuyasha. You actually used the door?" He walked closer to her. "Nani?" He came even closer and finally grabbed her in his arms. "Inu-ya-sha?"
"Just be quiet for once." His warmth enveloped her. "I'm sorry. I forget sometimes that you're not as strong as you look."
"Oh gee thanks."
"You get a lot more worn out than I do."
"Good, you finally realized that." She tried pulling away from him, but his grasp was tight. She gave up trying to struggle and just buried her face in his shoulder. He kissed the top of her head lovingly.
"Ano..Kagome." A voice trailed off at her door.
"Mama! Ummm.." Inuyasha let her go and they separated quickly. Her mother smiled.
"Dinner." Inuyasha, who was blushing, got up and walked over to her mother.
"Inuyasha?"
"Ummm.excuse my behavior."
"Oh.Inuyasha.I trust you with my daughter. Just protect her like you have thus far." She smiled warmly and hugged him. "You're part of the family, you know." He nodded lightly. "Well you should eat before getting back, ne?" Inuyasha was following when Kagome stopped him.
"What was that?"
"Well, I could sense she was a little tense. So, I apologized." Kagome smiled and hugged him tightly. This was what she wanted!
"Arigato Inuyasha!" He was glad his actions made her so happy.
"So you're not mad?"
"Of course I'm not you baka inu!" He narrowed his eyes. She laughed at the expression; Kagome grabbed his hand and pulled him downstairs.
"This is really nice Houshi-sama."
"Isn't it though?" He smiled at one of the serving girls. "Ano..Miss.Would you be so willing to bear my child?" Sango understood now why he'd chosen this place. Noticing Sango's expression on her face he dropped the girl's hand. "Forget what I just said. I think I've had way too much sake." Sango perked up; he had never done that before. "I'm going to take a walk; I'll be back."
"Houshi?" Sango didn't understand. 'Oh he probably wants to go somewhere else to get girls. I guess I'm not good enough.' Curious, Sango got up about half an hour after he had left to search for him. She searched every tavern, but the mysterious monk was nowhere to be found. She was worried; where could he be? Sango was walking across a bridge when she noticed a figure throwing stones into the river. Sango cautiously walked up to the person. The outline, luckily, was a very familiar one. "Houshi-sama?" He turned around abruptly. "What are you doing? Aren't you tired?"
"Sango..I just."
"I was worried you know." She thought aloud.'ooops'
"You were worried?" He questioned raising one eye brow. She came and sat by his side.
"Hai I was worried."
"I left cuz I thought you were upset."
"Well to tell you the truth, yes I was a little peeved." 'She was jealous? But why? She can't possibly have those kind of feelings for me, can she? I love her..no question about that.'
'I can't tell him my feelings, but he must already have his suspicions. Might as well call upon my courage and tell him.'
"I LOVE YOU!" They both yelled in unison.
"Nani!" They both said at the same time again. They laughed nervously.
"Really? You love me? But how?"
"I love you and don't ask me why; I don't know. It just kinda happened." He smiled happily. "Why would you love me? I'm getting past marrying age and I'm so un-ladylike."
"But that is what makes Sango, Sango. You're brave, strong, and compassionate towards others." She blushed; he caressed her bright red cheek.
"Ano.Houshi-"
"You said in quote 'this is where your hand is welcome' remember?" She remembered her words.
"Hai." His touch was warm and gentle; he pulled away. "Don't."
"Huh? Sango?" She pulled her body over to him; kissing him full on the lips. His eyes were wide with shock. After the shock had worn off, lastly for a few seconds, he started kissing her back. Miroku pulled back again.
"Nani? Isn't this what you want?"
"I can't.."
"Can't what?"
"Can't pull you into my misery of this cursed." He clenched his cursed hand into a fist. "I promised I wouldn't." Sango frowned, "My love for you will never die, but I will..in a year or even tomorrow. I don't know."
"Not unless Naraku is slaughtered."
"Interesting choice of words: slaughtered?" She smiled.
"He deserves it. That bastard has it coming. Houshi even if he isn't killed soon I don't care how long your life-span is I want to be with you."
"Are you sure?" His eyes questioned.
"I'm sure!" She cried; he was speechless. "But you know what this means for you right?"
"Nani?"
"You're taken." She pursed her lips together and raised her eye brow, "Understood?" He laughed and nodded his head. "I'm the one who will bear your child, got that?" His eyes widened and his jaw dropped to the ground. She smiled at his reaction to her statement. "So no more asking that to anyone anymore?"
"Hai milady!" They got up, hand in hand, and headed back to the inn.
P.S.- If people don't start reviewing soon I'll just stop posting.I'm just wasting my time if you guys don't review..that was my whole reason of putting it up in the first place. There I've said my peace. So review if you want to read more...until next chapter...maybe...
