~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter Six~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~(Where we left off from)~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Now to the story!)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango stood up, one eyebrow raised. When they were within speaking distance, she asked, "Inuyasha? Why are you carrying Kagome like that? And where have you been?"
When Kagome blushed alittle more and looked down, Miroku stood up as well, and began thinking his usual hentai thoughts. He smiled evily and opened his mouth to say something when he got a death glare from Inuyasha. Miroku sat back down agian, eyes wide. Sango stood still, waiting for an answer.
"Well, we didn't get back 'till late last night-" Another glare was required for Miroku, this time from Kagome AND Inuyasha. "And then the storm hit, and we couldn't make it back, so....yea." She said as an explination for being late. "As for Inuyasha carring me-"
"She twisted her stupid ankle," interupted Inuyasha. Kagome scowled at him, and was about to say something when Sango gasped and ran up.
"Kagome! You twisted your ankle? Are you ok? Do you need me to get you anything?" Sango asked, a worried look on her face.
A great plan flashed through Kagome's mind. 'This is a great way to keep her out of Keade's hut while I fix it for her party! I'll send her and Miroku to the market to get stuff!' "Oh, that would be great Sango! Why don't you and Miroku go to the market, and pick up what I'll need?" She asked, hopeing it would work.
Miroku stood up, "I would be glad to escort Lady Sango to the market." He said with a smile and an odd look in his eye. Kagome frowned, wondering what it was. He noticed her looking at him strangly and quickly turned away, to usher Sango twords the village. "We should be back soon!" He called, in an attempt to get away. Kagome raised an eyebrow at the monk, and shook her head. There was something strange about him.
They had just left when Keade walked outside, "Are they gone?" Asked the old miko. Kagome nodded and Keade smiled, "Well, you have a few hours to prepare." She stated and walked back inside.
"Inuyasha, will you go back and get the bags we left at the tree please?" Kagome asked
"Why did we leave them there in the first place if I was only goin' to have to go BACK and get them?" He asked, irriated. Kagome sighed and shook her head.
"Inuyasha, its a SUPRISE party. That mean's that Sango can't know we're throwing it for her. Now, go back and get the bags, please." Kagome told the hanyou. The tone of her voice also told him that there was no room for argument. Inuyasha sighed and jumped away.
Keade, who had walked back outside, looked at Kagome, impressed. "How'd you get him to do that?" Kagome smiled and blushed. The old woman smiled knowingly and walked back inside.
Kagome looked at Shippou and smiled, "Hey, Shippou, guess what."
"What?" Shippou asked, cocking his head to one side, gettng excited.
"When Inuyasha returns, I'll give you a suprise!" Kagome replied, noding happily. Shippou squeaked and jumped up and down. A moment later Inuyasha returned with the bags full of birthday stuff (and Shippou's crayons!). "Gosh, Inuyasha! What took you so long?" Asked the little kitsune, cross.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes and 'feh-ed'. He handed the bags over to Kagome who stood up shakily on her good ankle. "Meep!" Kagome cried as she tilted to one side. Inuyasha grabbed her elbow, holding her upright. Kagome smiled at him, and looked away quickly, blushing. Kagome cleared her throat, "Uhm, yes, right. Shippou, your suprise!"
Shippou, who's expression was o.0 while he watched the two, quickly changed his expression to -^.^- when Kagome mentioned suprise. "Yea?! What is it, Kagome?!" He asked, jumping up and down impatiently.
Kagome smiled and dug in one of the bags, pulling out a large box of crayons and some paper. Shippou squeaked and grabbed them, giving the girl a big hug. "Oh thank you Kaogme!!!" He cried and jumped back to the ground to color Sango a picture for a present.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes and mumbled, "Well, he's easily pleased." Kagome looked at him with raised eyebrows. Inuyasha raised one of his, "What?"
Kagome sighed, "Well?" She replied and pointed to Keade's hut. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and shook his head. Kagome huffed and crossed her arms, and stumbled twords the residence. Inuyasha followed while Shippou stayed inside
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~(Enough time wasteing, lets get to the party already!)Right before the Party!(thank you!)~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
With Inuyasha's help Kagome had fixed up the place pretty nicely. Streamers hung from the celeing, baloons littered the floor, and a table was set up in the corner that held the gifts from every one, a bowl of punch, and snacks. Kagome stood at the door, admireing her handywork.
"I think we did pretty good, don't you Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, turning around. She was still alittle slow on her ankle, but getting better.
Inuyasha opened his mouth to reply when his ear twitched. "Inuya-," Kagome was interupted as a hand covered her mouth. Inuyasha pointed in the direction of the town and the girl grined under his hand. When he removed it she smiled bigger. "They're comming! I knew you'd be able to hear them, thank you Inuyasha," she whispered with a smile. Inuyasha blushed, but turned away quickly so she wouldn't notice. As it was, Kagome had already turned away and was motioning for Shippou and Keade to go inside.
When they were all in, Kagome peaked outside, and Miroku and Sango were just comming into view. "Good," She whispered and jumped back inside. "Alright everyone, hide! When they come in, everyone jump out and say, 'Suprise!' Got it? Good!" She said, and before waiting for an answer, she hobbled over to the coner and bent down. Shippou hid under the table, Keade bent in the other corner, and Inuyasha took up his post in the back, crossing his arms and seemingly pouting.
"Here we are! AT. THE. HUT.!" Miroku was saying loudly.
"I can see that Miroku," Sango was saying, and she sounded slight confused. They stepped into the door way and......
"SUPRISE!!" Everone (except an irritated hanyou who was covering his ears) screamed. Sango screamed and jumped at Miroku, hugging him. (awww!!)
Sango blushed furiously and jumped back from Miroku. Miroku smiled smugly and said, "Well, Miss Sango, I'm flattered!" She glared daggers at him, then remembered the party that had been thrown for her.
Kagome ran up and hugged her, "Happy birthday, Sango!" Kagome screatched, causing everyone's favorite half demon to cover his ears agian. Shippou ran over, holding his picture. He jumped up into Kagome's arms and shoved the drawing into her face.
"Uhm, thank you Shippou..." Sango said and smiled, moving it from her face to a place where she could see it clearly. It was her, Sango, with Kirara flying in the sky, with Miroku also sitting on Kirara, except he had a large boomerang wedged on top of his head. Below was Inuyasha running on the ground, holding Kagome on his back, who was holding Shippou. Above it was written, "Hapie Birthdae Sango."
Shippou smiled proudly, "Kagome told me how to spell your name." He said, nodding.
Sango giggled at the picture, "It's beautiful, Shippou, thank you! It looks just like us!" She said, noteing Miroku's new 'hat,' and Inuyasha's cross exression.
Kagome tugged Sango inside, and led her to a chair that set by the table covered with snacks and presents. Sango sat down, stareing at everything with misty eyes. Kagome grabbed a large hidden box and opened the lid. Inside was a round cake with red and blue flowers, white iceing, and in big purple letters saying, "Happy Birthday Sango." Kagome looked at everyone and remembered that she had yet to teach them the birthday song. Shrugging, she decided to sing it by herself. "Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you!" Shippou joined in after that, catching on. "Happy birthday, dear Sango, happy birthday to you!" The two finnished off, smileing at each other.
Sango sniffed and wiped a hand over her eyes, "Wow.... I thought you forgot.. Kagome! I told you I didn't want a party!" She said, but with a huge grin on her face.
Miroku grinned back, "Of course, Lady Sango. Now, let's cut that cake!" He said, eyeing the surgary treat with delight. Inuyasha walked over, mouth watering. Shippou jumped up on Sango's shoulder, his tail wagging. Kagome laughed and set the cake down on the table and pulled out a knife, slicing a large triangle out and placeing it on one of the paper plates.
"The first one goes to Sango!" She announced and handed it over. After every one had their share of cake (Miroku consumeing three peices himself, claiming, "Dis shtuve ish goo-," with a mouth full of cake.), they all sat down in a circle. Kagome, Inuyasha, Shippou, Keade (I know, I havn't included her much, but she isn't always there, so ya' know, I don't know her all that much, heh heh ^^;;;), Miroku, then Sango.
"Here ya go, Sango, this one's from me," Kagome said, handing over a rectangular box that wasn't wrapped (Sorry guys, I'm runnin' outa ideas here! Writers block sucks --'). Sango looked at her, slightly bewildered, and Kagome nodded. "C'mon, open it."
Sango lifted up the lid on the box and side was a pair of blue jeans, flared, with studs going down the side, and a long sleve pink shirt with a red heart in middle (Alright, so maybe I suck at fashion, I usually just wear baggy black pants, heh heh... --' oh well, lol). Sango smiled, "Oh, Kagome! I love it!" She said, holding it up infront of her and seeing that the sleeves went down to her knuckles. Kagome nudged Inuyasha who grunted something about not getting Sango any thing. Kagome fumed and was about to yell 'Sit!' when Inuyasha smirked and pulled out a small box. He didn't want to face the wrath of an extra angry Kagome when he didn't do as she asked.
"This is from Inuyasha," Kagome said through gritted teeth: she was still angry at Inuyasha for playing that trick on her. Sango opened the little box to find a hand carved flute, the kind you could easily buy at any stall in town. But it was the thought that counted, and Inuyasha probably hadn't bought it, he had prolly stole it.
But still, it was a kind gesture and Sango greated it whole-heartedly. She smiled up and Inuyasha, who had his arms crossed, pouting. Next was Keade, who handed over a small, rectangular box. When the girl opened it, she found a small glass cat inside. Sango looked up at the old woman, gratitude deep in her eyes. Keade simply smiled and nodded her head. Miroku, who was sitting next to her, tapped her on the shoulder.
"Yes?" Sango asked the monk, with raised eyebrows. He gave her a box that looked alot like the one Keade gave her, except flatter.
"Happy Birthday," He whispered, stood up, and walked outside. Sango raised an eyebrow at his retreating back, and was poked by Kagome.
"Open it! Let's see what's inside!" Kagome said excitedly.
Sango slowly slid the lid off the top of the box, and inside was a beautiful necklace, the likes of which she had never seen. The gold chain fit perfectly around her neck, and the dark, almost black, blue opal that hung on it was held by a golden heart. Sango gasped at the magnificance of it, and looked up at the door that Miroku had left through.
"Wow! Sango, that's beautiful!" Kagome exclaimed, examining the charm on the peice of jewlery that was in Sango's hands. Sango simply nodded, speachless.
Kagome smiled knowingly, "Why don't I go and get some music, from my time, real fast." She stood up, grabbing Inuyasha's hand, and walking twords the door. "We'll be back soon!" Kagome called, as Inuyasha picked her up briadal style, and jumped off in the direction of the well. Shippou looked at Sango, who was stareing unblinkingly at the necklace and shrugged. He walked over to where the snacks where and got some potato chips (or, those yummy crunchy thingys) and grabbed his crayons to draw some more pictures.
~*~*~*~*~*~* Outside (Where Miroku was) *~*~*~*~*~*~
Miroku sat down under a tree, stareing at Keade's hut. 'I wonder what Sango thought of her present? I hoped she liked it...' He thought with a wistful sigh.
~*~*~*~*~*~* At Kagome's House *~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hold on Inuyasha, I'll only be a minute," Kagome called as she rumaged through her closet. To avoid all well meaning friends her and Inuyasha had entered through her window. "A-ha!" She cried as Inuyasha sat in the windowsill. Kagome popped out of her closet with a boom box and a few cd's. "Alright, lets go!" She walked over to the hanyou, who stared at the boom box.
"What's that?" Inuyasha asked, and poked it.
Kagome smiled, thinking of a way to explain it, "Well, its a box that plays music." Inuyasha, who looked skeptical, only nodded and picked Kagome back up. She snuggled into his kimono as they leapt back outside, and down the well.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Back at Keade's Hut *~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sango, who had gotten over her speechlessness, was talking to Shippou, while drinking some punch. Miroku was sitting in the corner, eating yet another peice of cake. Sango had avoided eye contact with him the whole night. Miroku was afraid that she didn't like it, and kept fidgeting. Sango sighed and finally glanced at the monk, and saw he looked worried. Just then he looked up and met her eyes. She quickly looked back at her hands, and Miroku smiled slightly. Getting up, he walked over to her and the little kitsune.
"Shippou, why don't you go outside and see if Kagome and Inuyasha are back yet, hum?" He asked Shippou. The young youkai jumped up with a 'yea!', and ran outside. The monk sat down next to Sango and sighed. "You didn't like it, did you?" Miroku asked, his voice serious.
Sango's head shot up and her wide eyes locked onto his, "Oh no! I absolutely LOVED it! It was so beautiful, I just..." Her voice trailed off.
~((~((~((~((~Sango's point of view~))~))~))~))~
"Oh no! I absolutely LOVED it! It was so beautiful, I just...." I stopped then. He was sitting so close! Why is he stareing at me like that, and... oh great! I can just feel myself blushing! But, the way he's looking at me..... Why am I not mad? Why am I not turning away? And WHY THE HECK AM I STAREING AT HIM THE WAY HE'S STAREING AT ME?! Oh my..
"You realy liked it?" Miroku asked, smileing. Awww, why does my heart melt like that when he smiles. (And why is Sango only asking herself questions?? Maybe 'cause I'm writeing this ^^;;)
"Yes, I loved it. I never recived a better gift before. Thanks.." I replied slowly. *Sigh* I love his eyes... What?! Oh man, did someone put something funny in this drink?!
Miroku frowned. I hate it when he does that. Much better when he's smileing!
"Is everything ok, Lady Sango. You sighed... If you want, I'll leave," He said sadly, and started to stand up. No! He can't go! So I grabbed his arm, pulling him back down.
"No! Don't go, its nice when we talk together," I say, and I can feel my blush getting darker. Miroku turns a dangorous shade of pink and smiles.
"So, you like talking to me?" He asks, and I search for that usual perverted smile, but there is none. Just genuine happiness. Weird. "'Cause, I like talking to you, alot." He says, and blushes a deep red.
My smile doesn't fit entirely behind the hand I use to hide it. I simply nod, knowing that if I say anythigng now it will emerge a squeak. Suddenly, he leans forward, and brushes a strand of hair away from my face. My hand drops involentarly, my face turns redder, and my smile grows bigger. I lean alittle closer, as does he. The distance quickly dissapearing, I close my eyes for the kiss I've been waiting forever for, but I didn't know it...
~((~((~((~((~((~Mirokus POV~))~))~))~))~))~
"Oh no! I abcolutely LOVED it! It was so beautiful, I just...." Her voice trailed slowly off. Ah, the sound of her voice just gets my heart rate up. I can't help but stare at her, as she blushes. I hold back a grin.
"You realy liked it?" I ask, and can't keep from smileing now.
"Yes, I loved it. I never recived a better gift before. Thanks.." She said, then sighed. My spirits dropped rapidly. Oh no! She was only saying that to be nice. She was probably even hopeing I'd leave.
Frowning, I ask, "Is everything ok, Lady Sango. You sighed... If you want, I'll leave." That was very hard for me to say. As I spoke, I started to get up, but then Sango grabbed my arm. Maybe she doesn't want me to leave, at least I hope...
"No! Don't go, its nice when we talk together," so I guess she realy DOES what me to stay. Look, shes blushing more, how cute! But I can also feel my face getting hotter.
"So, you like talking to me?" I ask, my smile returning. She seems to search my face for soemthing. "'Cause I like talking to you, alot." WHAT?! Did I just say that OUT LOUD?! Oh.... nooo.... My blush returns, full blast, yet she smiles. I can see it even though she tries to hide it. She nods! Sango LIKES talking to me?! I lean forward, on impulse, and brush the strand of hair away that just fell in her face. As she drops her hand back to her lap, she smiles bigger, as do I. Is-is she leaning closer? Yea.. she is! I lean closer to, the space between us gets smaller, and I close my eyes. I wonder if she's been waiting for this kiss as long as I have?
~((~((~((~((~((~((~Haiku's (my) Point of view~))~))~))~))~))~))~
The gap closed, and their lips touched in the long awaited kiss was waited no more. They broke the kiss after a few seconds, both of them blushing furiously. Still close to each other, they stared into the others eyes. Sango blinked, and Sango copied. Miroku smiled, closeing the gap again, and Miroku did the same. Their lips touched, and suddenly the door burst open. Inuyasha and Kagome stared at the scene before them.
Kagome's eyes grew wide, 'OH NO! We walked in on Miroku and Sango kissing!' She screamed at herself in her mind. The other two were oblivious that the hanyou and shard dector had walked in, and were still kissing.
Inuyasha smirked and cleared his throat loudly. Sango meeped and lept back, away from the monk, as Miroku scooted away from the girl. Both were blushing even more that before.
"Inuyasha!!" Kagome scretched. "SIT!!" Inuyasha slamed into the ground as Kagome scowled down at him. "How could you?! We could have just walked out quietly, but NO! YOU just HAD to ruin their 'moment!'"
Sango buried her face in her hands, mumbling, "What else!?" While Miroku excused hisself. The rest of the party was slow, Miroku stayed outside untill the very end. Sango stayed quiet, and Kagome didn't speak to Inuyasha at all. Shippou, who didn't know what happened, was happily unaware, and even danced to the music. After that, everyone went outside to sleep after Sango had thanked them for the wonderful party.
