Chapter 10: Sango's Date, Tree Of Hearts; Scroll II
Silence filled the air as he then smiled at her, giving her his rare but loving smile. Kagome stared at him with wide eyes as she watched him move towards her. Kagome hopped off the well and backed up a step away from him. He ignored her fear and stopped on the opposite he then leaned on it and looked down into its depths. ["Say something intelligent!"] The voice in his head said to him, "Sure is a deep well." He said and slapped him self in the head mentally, ["Way to go! Woo hoo!"] the voice said sarcastically.

Kagome nodded in response and Inu-Yasha sighed, "Kagome, you . . . don't have to be afraid of me. I'm not going to hurt you." He said softly as she stared at him but said nothing. She lean looked away from him and down into the well's depths. Inu-Yasha pushed himself off the well and stood up straight and then started to walk off but stopped and look at her over his shoulder. "I want to show you something." He said gently, Kagome looked up at him and surprisingly, Kagome followed him as he started to walk deeper into the forest.

The two walked deeper and deeper into the forest and then he stopped as he came into a clearing, before them was a giant tree that was old as time and as wide as a car. She stared at it in amazement and the hanyou smiled. "The tree is called Go-Shinboku, our college was named after it because of it strength and wisdom. This tree has been around since the Feudal era of Japan, I used to come here a lot as a kid to think." He said as he placed his hands into his pockets.

"Its beautiful, I've never seen a tree as big as this before." She said as she walked closer to the tree and once she came close to it she reached out and touched it. "A scared tree." She whispered and smiled to herself, as Inu-Yasha walked up to her, "Ya know, if I could and was aloud to I would live in this forest."

"What's stopping you?" Kagome asked with interested and Inu-Yasha glanced at her, "Nature Freaks." He said with a little smirk on his face as Kagome smiled and then frowned. "I wish I could run away sometimes and stay forever lost in this forest." She said sadly as she rubbed the back of her left arm. Inu-Yasha did not have to ask to know what she had meant, so he stood there in silence that is until he felt something grab a hold of his dog like ears. It felt good but he looked over to find it was Kagome she was standing on her tippy toes and was rubbing his ears.

She instantly stopped and blushed and withdrew her hands. "I-I-I am sorry . . .I didn't mean to . . . its just . . . I - I." She strutted as she cursed at herself mentally. Inu-Yasha surprising understanding her replied, "Don't worry about it." he said off handly. ["Hello, I never let someone touch my ears! I just said DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT! Kami what I'm I thinking I usually bite the hand the reaches for them!"] he thought as Kagome looked down at the ground finding it interesting.

Kagome shivered slightly as the sun started to set and the wind grew cold as ice and bit at her skin. But then suddenly she felt warmth about her, she blinked once as she realized a black leather coat was draped about her shoulders. She looked up at the hanyou beside her who only snorted, "Don't want you catching cold, you humans are so weak." He stated as Kagome smiled slightly, "T-Thank you." She said shyly as he looked at her. "Come on, its getting late, I'll walk you home."

"So did you like the movie?" Miroku ask as Sango nodded as she ate her ice cream cone. "Hai, thank you Miroku for the movie and dinner. Also the ice cream." She said as Miroku smiled sweetly at her. "It was a great honor to dine with you." He said and Sango blushed at this comment. "I would be even more honored if you aloud me to walk you home."

"You may." Sango laughed as Miroku walked with her, he thought back at the movie the had seen it was called 'Gladiator' it was one of the best and well greatest movies he had seen in a long time. Funny thing was that usually girls screamed or was grossed out in bloody movies but not Sango. She seemed like she wasn't afraid of anything. Which was a good thing for him. He loved the way she walked, talked and well just the way she was. He looked over at Sango as she ate her ice cream but the she stopped and she looked over at him. "Hey Miroku, could we . . . could we . . . please watch the sunset? I always loved to watch them." She asked shyly as Miroku nodded and the two walked together to the park that was about two and half miles away.

From there they took a seat on a bench that was by a pond and from there they watched the sunset, Sango had long ago finished her ice cream and had fallen asleep next to Miroku and she was laying against his shoulder. "Sango?" he asked but only smiled as he realized she had fallen asleep. He gently pushed her away and stood up, then he picked her up bridal style and careful started to walk back to the college.

As he walked to the college they passed a sign that read: 'May's Carnival! Coming to town by next week.' He stopped walking as he came to a stop sign and look to his right, far in the distance was a forest that could barely be seen. He wondered in Inu-Yasha was there and if he was with Kagome. He hoped that those two would perhaps one day, fall in love. They where perfect for one another.
