"So what's on your mind?" Sango asked. As she took a long sigh and made the final adjustments to her quite sleepy position. "Well I've been thinking . . . this journey for the Shikon No Tama shards may take the rest of my life. I know you see me stare at you and I'm sorry if it frightens you, but I can't just keep 'looking'. I need something more." Miroku said and raised an eyebrow.
"I'm willing to give." Sango said with a teasing face. Miroku raised both eyebrows twice very quickly with a purr. Sango laughed and just began to stare into his eyes. "I'm sorry, but I'm bushed. Could we, you know, just sleep right here? I'm so comfortable in your arms; I know you won't let anyone harm me. I just don't wanna move." Sango said unsurely. She then pulled her arms above her head and then relaxed, laying atop Miroku and closing her eyes. Miroku could feel her breathing becoming more paced, and deeper. "I would be honored to sleep in your presence." Miroku said softly and he began to run his hands through Sango's hair lovingly.
Sango nuzzled close to him, reveling in the comfort she found in him. Miroku wrapped his arms around her and said quietly,"Sleep well, my maiden." Sango sighed deeply and replied,"Protect me, my houshi." Both giggled and closed their eyes, as sleep swiftly overtook them.
Inuyasha and Kagome are also asleep in a nearby forest. Kagome is lying next to Inuyasha, with her head resting in her arms. Inuyasha is on his side close to Kagome with a protective hold around her waist. Kagome is wrapped in Inuyasha's coat of the fire rat and Inuyasha only in his pants. They are both breathing deeply, and a light sigh escapes Kagome's lips and she alters her position. Inuyasha opens his eyes, blinking several times to adjust to the amount of light. He gazes upon Kagome's sleeping figure.
'This night, I'll never forget Kagome. You're mine now, and I'll never leave you alone. Tomorrow we will go out together and vanquish Kikyo." Inuyasha smiled at the thought of Kagome's fear being put to rest. He then settled himself back down next to her and put his arm around her again. He then shut his eyes and slept peacefully.
The sunrise threatens to end the first precious night of the two sleeping sets of lovers. The almost touchable layers of pinks, purples, and finally oranges dance among the clouds and the rolling hills. The fresh light awoke Kagome and she stretched her arms over her head, like a cat. "Hmmmm." She mumbles and then resumed her earlier position. Her arms wrapped securely around Inuyasha's bare chest.
Sango also awakens and kisses the nose of her own personal Houshi and then returns to sleep once more.
