Chapter Three: Final Confessions

Be talki

Author's Note: Yes, this is the last chapter of this story. I could make it a bit longer, but it pretty much does end after this. Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been having a few emotional problems. But, I still want to thank my reviewers and say that I don't own Inuyasha.

It was a week later, and the two couples were still trying to keep their relationships secret. But, this plan hadn't been working too well. They kept running into akward situations with the other couple and had to make up a cover story.

"Miroku, I'm tired of this. Can't we just tell Inuyasha and Kagome that we're together so we can stop all this? I have a feeling that they already know" sighed Sango.

"I don't know, I still think we should keep this a secret a little bit longer. Just in case you know." Said the monk.

"Just in case what?" asked Sango.

"I don't know. Maybe we'll tell them in a week or so." Miroku got up from where they had been sitting. "I'm going to take a bath. Care to join me?"

"No." she growled.

"Oh well," he sighed as he walked off. "You can't blame me for trying, though."

Sango sat on the rock watching him walk away, thinking about how she going to tell the others about their little secret. She decided not to think anymore and went back to camp to talk with Kagome.

Kagome was at camp studying for her Geomerty test. "Man, I hate math." She grumbled as she figured out the area of the circle. She noticed Sango was coming toward her, so she put down her book, hoping the other girl would want to talk. "Sango, do you want to talk about anything." Offered Kagome.

"Actually, I do Kagome." Replied Sango. "Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted to tell somebody something but somone else didn't want you to tell?"

Kagome pondered at the question for a moment. She had been in this situation before. To tell the truth, Kagome was in this postion at the same moment. 'She can't be talking about Inuyasha and me, could she?' Kagome shrugged off that thought. "Yes, I have Sango. Why do you want to know?"

"Just wondering." Sighed the demon exterminator. "So, how would one go about solving this problem Kagome?"

"Well, it depends on the situation Sango." Explained Kagome. "Like if someone had hurt you in some way and you didn't want to tell because you were scared of what mught happen. Then you definatly want to get help. But, if it's something silly, like you don't want anyone to know the boy you like. Then, it's okay if you don't want to tell."

"So, I should only tell a secret to someone when my life is being threatened?" asked Sango.

"No, nevermind." Sighed Kagome. "But, I just want you to know that you can always tell me anything and I'll listen and not tell anyone else."

"Then, in that case. Kagome, I have something I want to tell you."

"Okay Sango, I'm listening."

"It's about Miro I mean Houshi-sama. You see Kagome, there was that night we told you we got lost and wesortofgottogetherandkissedandweloveeachother." Sango mumbled.

"I didn't hear that last part, Sango." Said Kagome. "That night you got lost andwhat happened next?"

"We sort of got together and kissed and we love each other." Sango repeated, slowly.

Kagome was in shock. "Oh my gosh! You two actually got together! That is so cool!" She sqeaked."Oh, I always thought you two were perfect for each other and you are. So, when are you getting married?"

"I didn't say anything about marriage, Kagome." Said Sango. "I just said that we love each other, I never said we were getting married."

"But, you two are going to get married aren't you?" asked Kagome.

"I don't know. Houshi-sama and I haven't talked about it yet. Maybe someday we will."

"I knew it!" yelled Kagome. "And also Sango, you can call Miroku by his name."

"I do call him by his name. When it's just us I do. I didn't want to give anything away. But, Miroku didn't want me to tell you. I should go tell him that I told you anyway." Sango got up to head for the hot spring.

"You do that Sango!" yelled Kagome. "Remember, ask about you know what?"

"Ask about what?" asked Sango.

"Tell him you want to get married. Don't try to deny it Sango, you know you want to." She got up and gave her friend a light push. "Go on. I'm letting you back into camp without Miroku."

Sango walked around for a few minutes, wondering if she should take Kagome's advice. She finally decided she was going to do it and headed for the hot spring where she'd find Miroku.

When she arrived at the spring, she found Miroku talking to Inuyasha, the half demon noticed Sango standing there and jumped up into a tree and disappeared.

"Have a nice bath Miroku?" she asked, noticing that his hair was wet and he was wearing a white sleeping robe.

"About as nice as a bath could be." He sighed.

"What were you and Inuyasha talking about before I came?" she asked.

"Things that men talk about. Things that don't concern women." He said.

"I was having a similar conversation with Kagome before I came here." She walked over to him, putting her arms around his neck and burying her face in his chest, she whispered, "We need to talk."

He wrapped his arms around her waist and sat down against a tree, with her in his lap. "What did you want to talk about?" he asked as he lifted up her chin and held her face in his hands. "What's the matter, love?"

She rubbed her nose against his and put her head in the crook of his neck. "You promise you won't get mad." She said against his skin.

"I promise." He said, while stroking her hair. "Please tell me Sango, you're starting to make me worried."

"Sorry." She mumbled, looking him staright in the eyes. "I told Kagome about us."

"Is that what got you so worried?" he laughed. "Well, if it makes you feel any better. Inuyasha forced me to tell him."

"But there's more." She started to tremble. "Kagome said that we should we should" she choked back a sob, then began to cry.

Miroku held her close to him, remembering the conversation he had with Inuyasha.

***Flashback***

"So, you and her are finally together." Growled Inuyasha from the rocks.

"Yes, Sango and I are together." Said Miroku, who was in the hot spring. "But you already knew that. So, why did you come to talk to me Inuyasha?"

"I was wondering when you two were gonna become life mates." He asked?

"What are life mates, Inuyasha." Asked the monk.

"Sorry, I forgot you're a human. Having a life mate is similar to what you humans call marrige."

"If your asking have I proposed yet, then no. I haven't asked Sango for her hand." He said, getting out of the water to put on his sleping robe.

"Are you gonna?" asked Inuyasha.

"When the time is right, I will ask her."sighed Miroku.

"Speaking of Sango, there she is." Iunyasha pointed to the girl who was watching them. "I'll be back at camp if you need me." He jumped into the nearest tree and disappeared.

***End Flashback***

"Sango." Said Miroku, as he tried to get her to calm down. "Sango, do you want to get married?"

She looked up at him in surprise, wondering if he actually meant it. "Do you mean it? Do you really want to?" she asked him.

"I wouldn't ask if I didn't mean it. So, do you want to?" He looked into her brown eyes lovingly. "Please say yes Sango. You don't know how long I've wanted this." He pressed his forehead against hers.

Sango looked at him in shock. He actually wanted to mary her. Carefully, she brushed her lips against his. "Yes." She whispered and kissed him again. "But, now what? Don't we have to have something to prove we're married?"

"We're not married yet, love." He picked her up and walked over to where his dark robes were. "But, I have something for you to wear until we do get married." He pulled out a gold ring out of a pouch and put it on her ring finger.

"Let's go back to camp and show the others." She got out of his arms and started to walk back to camp. But, Miroku came behind her and picked her up bridal-style. "What are you doing?"

"I'm taking you back to camp." He walked back to camp carrying her and put her down in front of the fire when they got back.

"Okay Sango, I want details." Said Kagome, sitting down next to her friend.

"He asked me to marry him, and he gave me this." She said, pointing to the ring Miroku had given her.

"Wow, all Inuyasha gave me was a bite on the neck when he asked me to get married. Or to be his life mate as he put it." She sighed. "Hey Inuyasha, how come Sango got a ring and I didn't?"

"Because I don't need to give you a piece of metal to say that I love you!" he yelled back.

"Wait a minute, you two are getting married also?" asked Miroku.

"Yes." Said Kagome. "You know what we should do? Have a double ceremony! We could get married at the same time!"

"But, what about everyone in your time Kagome?" asked Sango.

"I forgot about that. But, we'll think of something. Come on Sango, we have planning to do." The two girls started to plan their group wedding while the guys made dinner.

The End.
