A/N: As for the reason my fic has no breaks or stuff like that, is because I have no Word thing on my computer, only wordpad. That means I have to upload in TEXT format, so I cant have any HTML, and all the stuff I do to it (like useing the tab button angel takana, lol) gets deleted when I save, so I can't upload any other way. I'm trying to figure out how to work this problem out, so please bare with me? Shanks, ^^;;;; Well, here's what ya came for, the next chapter, enjoy! *review prease!*
Oh yea!! I just remembered another thing I was gonna say! This fic WILL have Sango/Miroku. Ive read way to many fics saying there will be, and then there isnt. So, just so you know, ^^ heh heh.
~~~~~~~Secrets Revealed~~~~~~~
Shippou followed Miroku outside, still pondering why he wasn't himself, and where Kagome was. Miroku sat down by the fire he was starting to build, and took out things that he was going to cook for breakfast, which was porriage. Shippou sat next to him, silent for once. He began to think about his dream, and smirked a very Inuyasha-like smirk. 'I sure am thinking alot lately,' he told himself silently. When the monk saw Shippou smirk, he smiled himself. 'Oi, Inuyasha sure is rubbing off on the little guy.' Miroku shook his head and continued to cook.
By the time the food was almost done, the two hadn't said more than a couple of words. Miroku was dishing out breakfast when Sango walked out, rubbing her eyes. Miroku, remembering it was her birthday, was about to say so when he suddenly remembered what Kagome had said about this 'suprise party.' She had told him, no matter what, not to say anything about remebering it was Sango's birthday. Miroku only hoped that Shippou remembered as well. He didn't have to worry about that, even though the young kitsune had alot on his mind, he didn't let anything slip.
"Good morning Lady Sango," Miroku said with a slight smile and handed over a bowl of porriage. Sango smiled slightly, alittle sad that he hadn't said anything about her birthday. But she let that pass, she hadn't even told anyone but Kagome, even if she was positive Kagome would have atleast said something. Sango shrugged it off, and began to slowly eat. Shippou got the next bowl, seemingly still off in la-la-land. Miroku smiled and shook his head once more, eating his own breakfast. Shippou glanced up at the monk after a few minutes, to find him stareing softly at Sango while she didn't know again.
"Hey, Miroku, why do you keep stareing at Sango like that?" And with that, as Miroku acually blushed, Shippou started rambling about his mom and dad again. "Dad used to look at Mom like that, but that was when she was looking." It was Sango's turn to blush. "Mom would get all giggly and Dad would laugh. Then he'd kiss her. Miroku, do you wanna kiss Sango?" Shippou asked, in all his innocence.
Luckily, Miroku didn't have to answer, as Kagome and Inuyasha walked up, but something was different between them. Inuyasha didn't look angry at all while he carried Kagome bridal style. In fact, he seemed happy. Kagome herself was blushing furiously, but seemed equaly, if not more happy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~That Morning~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The morning dawned slightly cloudy but otherwise great. It had stopped raining around 3 A.M. and Inuysha was just wakeing up. He looked down at Kagome, who was still sleeping, and decided to wait untill she woke up before he sat out to Keade's hut. He didn't want to get sat, so he just stared down at her, a small smile graceing his lips. For the hour or so before Kagome woke up, Inuysasha found himself thinking again. He thought about Kagome, and what his situation was between them now. He knew she felt the same that he did, that was no longer the problem. The problem was, how was he going to deal with this sudden change. Inuyasha grined, hopeing Kagome would wake up soon. He wanted to make sure all of it hadn't been a dream, and if it hadn't, how she was going to act. Inuyasha was about to wake her up when she she started to wake herself. Mumbling incohearent things, like, "Dun' put the toof-brush in the cat food! I have to cook spah-get-hee for the neighbors, so go ask Mom where she put the stove.." Inuyasha raised an eyebrow as she said that, and smirked. He started removing his arms from Kagome when she grabbed his kimono, mumbling, "No... Don't go, stay with me please, Inuyasha? Don't ever go." Inuyasha's eyes widened, but then he sighed sadly. 'She's asleep. Just a moment ago she was talking about pasta and cat food,' he thought, trying to convence himself.
None-the-less, he still stroked her hair, whispering, "Don't worry Kagome, I won't leave you.... ever." He said that only because he *knew* Kagome was asleep. Or so he thought (a/n *evil laugh*). Kagome opened her eyes, smirking. Inuyasha blushed, his face beet red. Kagome herself was blushing, but she was happy to hear Inuyasha say that to her. He 'feh-d' and looked away, "Stupid wench! You tricked me!" He pouted, still not looking at Kagome. She smiled triumphantly, "How would I have got you to say that otherwise?" She asked amiably. When Inuyasha didn't do anything other than blush, Kagome giggled. She suddenly gasped, "Oh no! We gotta get back! Its Sango's birthday, and I gotta set up for the suprise party!" Inuyasha smiled at the forgetful girl and hugged her tighter as he jumped down from the tree. He sat Kagome down, and she quickly hid the bags of things that had stayed with them all night. Inuyasha watched as Kagome ran about with wide eyes. He smirked and closed his eyes, shakeing his head. Suddenly there was a loud 'offa!'. The hanyou's eyes flew open to find Kagome on the ground, rubbing her ankle. Inuyasha jumped to her side in a flash, examining it.
"I-its fine, Inuyasha." She stammered as he looked at her ankle. When he picked up her foot and tried to move it she screatched and pulled her leg back. "Ouch!!" Inuyasha seemed as if he was going to die. "Kagome! I didn't hurt you, did I?!" He asked with huge eyes. Kagome smiled, touched that he would care. She leaned up and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Its ok, Inuyasha. It's only a sprained ankle. I should just stay off it for a little while, is all." Inuyasha, who was blushing, nodded slightly. Right there he came to two conclusions: the first being that he LIKED Kagome's kisses, the second being that if he showed he cared even a little, he would get a kiss. 'Its fine when were alone....' he thought and smiled. Kagome giggled as he did so.
"I should probably carry you back to Kaede's hut, sence you don't need to walk." He said and picked up Kagome. Inuyasha started walking slowly back, wondering how he was going to deal with these new emotions. Kagome watched him intently, wondering why he was so quiet.
'Ok, what do I do now?!' He thought franticaly as they began to reach the edge of the forest. 'Do I act natural, as if none of this happened? No, I can't do that.... Kagome would sit be a million times, and then where would I be? Maybe I should go on being like this with her.... Grr, I wish I knew what to do.' He could feel Kagome's eyes on his face. 'She's wondering why I'm not talking to her... I wonder if I should tell her that I want to kiss her. She probably wouldn't mind, because she's kissed me... more than once. But how would I do it?' He metally slapped himself. 'Just get it over with baka!' His head screamed at him.
Inuyasha looked down at her suddenly and Kagome's blush grew redder. She was about to explain why she was stareing at him, when Inuyasha stopped walking. The girl thought something was wrong. 'Oh no! What if he DOESN'T like me?!' She didn't have to fret about that long because Inuyasha suddenly kissed her. Kagome, startled by his actions, was hestiant at first, then returned it. When the hanyou broke the kiss, he looked at her with his large golden eyes and Kagome's face was beet red.
Inuyasha smirked and continued walking back to Kaede's hut, quiet pleased with her reaction. They were now in view of the others, and Inuyasha looked up at the others, still looking happy.
