InuYasha and the gang had been traveling since the early morning.
It had been quiet all day. Kagome and InuYasha had not fought all day. Miroku had kept his
hands off the girls. Sango and Kirara were walking behind the monk with Kagome. The small
fox demon, Shippo, had been in the bicycle basket sleeping all day.

"InuYasha it is getting dark I think we should stop and make camp now." Kagome said pushing her bike with what strengh she had left.

"Feh." was the only thing that came out of InuYasha's mouth.

The group stopped and set up camp for the night.

"InuYasha I'm going to go to the lake we just passed by to take a bath, follow if
you want to keep Kagome from yelling you to.", said the monk as he walked away from the
group with the half-damon following.

"I can't keep this up anymore." Miroku said after coming out of deep thought.

"Keep what up?" asked the half-breed.

"This lecherous act of mine." looking down at his cursed right hand.

"My heart has fallen for Sango, but I can't let Sango get close to me."

"It is for her own safety because i care too much about her." Miroku stated.

"InuYasha how do you do it, my friend?" asked the monk.

"I don't know really." replied InuYasha.

"I keep this tough guy act to keep her away and safe, but...", he paused as the
monk coughed and glanched to the right.

InuYasha got this and grabbed a rock while spinning around and nailing Shippo at
the forehead knocking him out.

"As I was saying I care for Kagome." InuYasaha finished.

"Both of us grown men are not good enough for these beautiful young ladies we speak
of quite fondly of" the monk stated, "Sango needs a strong young vilage man who can give
her a good life, not some wandering low rank monk with nothing under his name, but a curse."

Ya, Kagome needs someone who is human and everything that I am not."

You know, InuYasha when sango calls me Houshi-sama" Miroku said looking up to
the sky.

That she just thinks of me as the perverted monk that travels with her, not
someone she could call a friend or someone she cares about." Miroku finished as tears came
to his eyes.

"It's good then she does." InuYasha replied putting a hand on the troubled looking
monk.

"Ya." he said putting on his clothes.

"We better get back, but before we do lets get some firewood to show as a cover-up
to why we took so long." Miroku said walking to the forest with some firewood in his hands.

Unaware to the two young men were two pairs of eyes of the women they had been
speaking of.
