Time for a change part 45
I don't own Inuyasha. But I do own a copy of the playstation game. Weee!
Ok ok I'm back. Actually I got back last Tuesday but every single day of school I've either had a project or a report due not to
mention an application for drum major, an application for student council, youth group, and two meetings for the performing
arts haunted house board. And to make it EVEN worse my brothers had TWELVE! kids over to spend the night on friday so I got
no writing done at all becuase I can't stand people walking in on me when I write so I don't when people are around.
I'm paronoid about letting people I know read my fic especially family members. Its probably for nothing, but hey I've managed
to keep it a secret for over 90,000 words so I guess it pays off.
*WoW!* My lawn caught on fire which is why I didn't update sooner. It was close too becuase we live near the woods. If the
fire had spread ten feet farther you'd see on the news that half of upper michigan was on fire! Everything is dry up here right
now so I kid you not.
MoonLigerTsuki- If it wasn't for fear of my parents I would have already wrote a fic about that and a fic where she turns into
a hanyou. Theres also a Kag/Sess fic out there where she turns into a demon and Sesshomaru takes her away that I wanted to
use the beginning as the beginning of another fic that would be Inu/Kag. (It was a very original idea but I HATE Kag/Sess and
Kikyo/Inu so I was going to change it so it would be Kag/Inu.)
simply-keri- Whats your book about? Can I read some of it? And yes I go into a 'zone' where nothing else exsists exept my story.
But I usually snap out of it after a bit and then I slack off instead of writing but it does happen.
dalcacris- My name on MSN is SvF_BD02_Wedge. I can't give you my sign on becuase its the same as my email and I never give it
out becuase if someone were to email me my parents would read it and theyd know about my fic and theyd want to read it and i'd
be grounded becuase theres like three cuss words in it! The games fun and my favorite character is Inuyasha becuase he's well
Inuyasha, but Miroku comes in a close second because he can grope the women in the game! I found this out when I was fighting
Kagura. She sounded like she liked it too.. Now I just got to try it out on Sango.
tOkU-cHaN-Actually I have read your Inuchan story (when it was only like 2 chapters long). I think I reviewed it mustn't have
been signed on though. *Shrugs*. I liked it and have it on a really big list of fics I like but i haven't had time to check them
all. (Its got like 200 fics.)
Lizzie- I don't think she has one. {A website} just that one fic on fanfiction.net.
Midorimiki- Wow you must use a lot of paper :). Just curious but about how many pages IS my story?
Dexter-Nope just msn check the reviews above for my name and explanation.
megan manuella- I think Yuna is enough torture for him.
simply-keri- I used to live in San Antonio. Where do you live?
Kiki-chan- Epcot is fun. I like going to Inovations. I'm into science and stuff and they have all those video games!
marioman -Yes I realized that as well. If you remember which chapters there in I'd appreciate it if you told me.
Eiko- :). The plot? ummmm. Uhh... well... I guess you could say its about tieing up loose ends.
kawaii monkey hanyou- Its for ps1.
KagomeWannabe- Thats a difficult question. In the japanese version I've only heard him say keh and maybe feh once I don't know.
I'm not sure about the english version BECUASE CARTOON NETWORK PUT IT ON TOO LATE ARGHH!!!!
Ok before you read I have two things to say. 1. I have fallen in love with ruroini kenshin becuase its so much easier to watch
and get manga. Which means I'm probably going to write a fic about it. In fact I have one in my head already that to me seems
pretty good. Basicly I just rewound the clock 11 or 12 years when Kaoru's fathers alive and she meets kenshin. (She's still the
same age though and its at the very end of the revolution.)
*ReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadRead*
Secondly I feel the need to gripe a little. I have people that have put me on favorites but they have NEVER reviewed a story!
NOT ONCE! That really hurts my feelings that you love my fic but won't spend ten seconds to tell me so. So please either take
me off favorites or give me a review once in a while.
*ReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadRead*
Now thats out of the way lets play a game. If you remember or have time to look tell me every time in the fic where Kagome
says sit and Inuyasha doesn't kiss dirt! If you are the first person to tell me for that sit (include the chapter and the
sentance its in) I'll dedicate a chapter to you. If you aren't the first person for that sit I won't get angry with you or
anything but I won't dedicate a chapter to you either.
I HAVE EMAIL! That's right I got my own address. Feel free to email me at SvF_BD02_Wedge@hotmail.com !
*A/N* Its Sunday in the fic if you haven't been keeping track.
Kagome stood next to the well with her bag on her shoulder. Inuyasha was standing next to her with a nuetral expression on
his face. Normally, Inuyasha would carry the bag, but today it was practically empty. They had left most of the things at
their house. After all they were going to be living there so there was no reason to carry it all around. The only things in
it were their newly aquired shard piece and the clothes that Kagome had already worn and needed washing. Her bloodied school
uniform had been declared unsaveable and discarded. Kagome shifted the bag to her other shoulder as they said their goodbyes.
"You just got here! Why do you have to leave already!" Shippo wailed as he clung to Kagome's leg. Inuyasha's nuetral expression
changed to one of annoyance and Kagome feared that the kitsune would be sporting a few new lumps if she didn't act soon.
"We will be back tonight Shippo." She assured but the kitsune refused to let go and Kagome could see Inuyasha's already thin
patience thinning. "I'll tell you what Shippo." Kagome said cheerfully. "While we're in my time I'll pick up some paints for
you so Inuyasha can teach you." Shippo brightened immediately and released Kagome. Inuyasha, however, wasn't as please. "I
never said I'd teach him!" he protested. "I've got more important things to do than teach the brat how to paint!" Miroku couldn't
help but smirk and whisper under his breath, "I wonder what kinds of important things." Sango heard the comment and couldn't
help but smile a little. 'I'm getting as bad as he is.' she scolded herself. Unfortunately for Miroku, Sango wasn't the only
one. *WHACK* "You perverted monk! Why can't you-" Kagome, who had had enough yelling and arguing sighed and gave Inuyasha a
gentle push. He lost his balance and fell backwards down the well. "You stupid-" was all he managed to say before he hit the
bottom with a thud.
Kagome gasped as she realized that she had the shard. Before Inuyasha could recover and start cursing her to kingdom come she
said a quick goodbye and leapt into the well. She shot down the well and landed on Inuyasha's back. 'At least I'm not wearing
high heels.' she thought as pinkish light enveloped them and pulled them through. (Sorry I'm in a violent mood :P ). Meanwhile
Shippo scampered off to do whatever he does when Kagome's not around leaving Sango and Miroku. Sango looked down at the ground
nervously with a light blush on her face. "Miroku..." She said softly still not looking up. "Would you like to-" Sango looked
up right then to see that Miroku was nowhere to be found. Sango facefaulted before getting up quickly and persuing the monks
footprints feeling a slight surge of anger. She'd been thinking about spending time with Miroku all morning and she sure wasn't
going to let him escape after all that anxiety!
Sango quickly caught up with him as he made his way towards Kaede's village. "Miroku!" She called. Miroku looked over his shoulder
curiously before turning around to greet her. "Yes Lady Sango?" he asked. Sango gulped and looked away. "Would you like to...
to go for a walk?" she spoke so softly that Miroku had to strain to hear her. Miroku sighed. Of all the bad timing. 'It seems
Buddha's luck is not with me today.' he mused. The irony of the situation that of all times Sango could have asked, she picked
the one where he had to decline.
"I'm sorry Lady Sango, but I'm afraid that I am busy at the moment." he said apologeticly. "Oh.." Sango said trying hard to
keep the disapointment from her voice. She kept her eyes everywhere but on Miroku. "It shouldn't take me to long. Perhaps in
an hour or so?" he asked. Sango gave a little nod. Miroku grinned. "Then I shall meet you at Kaede's hut in an hour." he said
before continueing on his way. Miroku couldn't help but feel a bit of smug satisfaction. Sango approaching him saved him the
trouble of doing it himself. Indeed everything was going as he hoped it would. Now to go and make the rest of HIS plans for the
two of them a reality.
****************************************************************************************************************************
Kagome looked down at the swirly eyed hanyou below her. There were two shoe marks on the back of his kimono, courtesy of Kagome
landing on him. "Inuyasha?" she called giving him a little nudge with her hand as she squated down next to him. When he didn't
respond she reached out and gave one of his ears a gentle tug. "Hellloo?" she called. Still no response. With a sighm Kagome
sat down next to him. She decided she might as well stay until he woke up. She felt a little bad for doing this to him, and
she might be able to bypass some of his anger if she was there when he woke up.
Kagome waited for a few minutes before giving he a few gentle wacks on the head. "Come on Inuyasha. I want to go see my family."
No response. Kagome leaned down and whispered into his ear. "Inuyasha, the Ramen's done." Instead to springing to life like
she had hoped the only response she got was Inuyasha's ear twitching a little from her breath. Kagome sighed and leaned back
on the well wall. Most people would probably be afraid for someones life after they fell down a well and then were landed apon
by a 16 year old girl, but not Kagome. She didn't really understand it, but for some reason she didn't feel scared for him.
If someone else had done it to him she would have been, but Kaogme had learned a long time ago that she really couldn't injure
Inuyasha. Even the sits were just superficial, though they were still useful.
After 10 minutes though, Kagome could feel a little anxiety welling inside her. 'I couldn't have really hurt him. Could I?'
she thought nervously. She shook the thoughts out of the way and tried waking him again. "Inuyasha wake up!" she said not bothering
to conceal the fear in her voice. Still he didn't respond and Kagome's anxiety was getting worse by the second. So she did the
first thing that came to mind and grabbed him by his kimono and shook him none to gently. "INUYASHA WAKE UP!" She shrieked.
Inuyasha's eyes popped open and he grabbed his ears. "You stupid wench are you trying to make me deaf!" he shouted angrily
but Kagome was to relieved to care as she breathed a sigh of relief and let go of him. Inuyasha gave her a glare. "What the
hell do you think you were doing pushing me down the well and jumping on me!" he shouted as he stood up. His back made quite
a few cracking and popping sounds as he did.
Kagome simply hugged him and apolgoze and he felt his anger quickly melt. "Don't ever do something that stupid again." he grumbled
as he returned the embrace for a few seconds and stealing a quick kiss as well. Kagome smiled as she let
go of him and dusted herself off before picking up the bag and starting to climb up the ladder. Inuyasha grabbed her arm gently
and she looked down puzzled. "Oi, did I hear something about Ramen?" he asked. Kagome burst out laughing and continued to climb
the ladder leaving a very confused and annoyed hanyou behind. Kagome quickly made her way towards the home, eager to see her
family. She had been gone for less than a week but so much had happened and she couldn't wait to break the news to her mother
who would not doubt be estatic. A still confused and annoyed hanyou leapt out of the well and followed her towards the Higurashi
household.
Kagome opened the door and looked around. Sota was nowhere to be found, nor was grandpa. Kagome could smell something cooking
in the kitchen so she made her way there after setting down her bag. Inuyasha followed with a none too pleasant look on his
face and his arms in his sleeves. Kagome found her mother busy stirring a pot while humming. "Mom I'm home." Kagome said happily
Mrs. Higurashi looked over her shoulder and smiled cheerfully. "Back from your honeymoon already?" she asked. Kagome stared at her
mother in shock. "How did... who told..." she said dumbly. Mrs. Higurashi chuckled. "Well noone TOLD me but it was pretty obvious
that when Inuyasha swept you away in the middle of the night what was happening. After all, you two were sleeping together."
Kagome's face flushed red, whether it was from anger or embarasment or both we don't know. "MOTHER! WE WERE NOT!" Kagome
screamed waving her hands in the air.
Inuyasha decided this was a good time to excuse himself to go get the shards and the Tetsusaiga as he fled the kitchen hastily
not wanting to get caught in the crossfire. Mrs. Higurashi chuckled. "You are so gullible sometime Kagome." she teased as she
took a sip from whatever was in the pot. "I know Inuyasha is a good moral boy and wouldn't think of doing anything without
marrying you first." she said as she walked over to the oven. "Him? What about me?" Kagome protested. Mrs. Higurashi spared
Kagome a glance. "Well... You always were a bit wild Kagome." Kagome sat down in defeat. This definately wasn't going how she
thought it would. 'Well it could be worse.' Kagome mused. 'Mom could hate Inuyasha.' Mrs. Higurashi opened the oven and peeked
inside. "Soo..." she said while prodding whatever was inside with a fork. "Have been having any morning sickness lately?" Kagome
shook her head. "No." she said in confusion. "Mood swings?" "No.." Mrs. Higurashi hmmed. "What about cravings for strange
foods?" she asked. Kagome again answered no still not understanding what was going on. Mrs. Higurashi straightened up walked
over to Kagome where she put her hand on Kagome's stomache. "Umm. Mom? What are you doing?" Kagome asked giving her mother a
strange look. Giving up Mrs. Higurashi sat down next to her daughter. "Really Kagome, if I'm going to be able to enjoy my
grandchildren when I'm still young you'll have to try harder."
Meanwhile:
Upstairs Inuyasha had succeeded in finding the shards and the Tetsusaiga and had just put them in the bag. He picked it up and
was preparing to walk down stairs when he heard another defeaning "MOOTHHEER!!" Inuyasha decided that it might be best if he
stayed up in Kagome's room where it was safe for a while.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Kagome, Inuyasha, and Mrs. Higurashi all sat round the dinner table as Mrs. Higurashi served some hot tea. "Sota and Father should
be back later. They went to the zoo a few hours ago." she told them as she poured the tea. Kagome nodded and thanked her mother
for the tea. "I guess we won't be seeing you as much anymore." Mrs. Higurashi said. Kagome gave her a curious look. "Of course
you will. I can always stop by before and after school to visit." Inuyasha looked at Kagome. "You aren't going back to school."
he said. Kagome gave him a surprised look. "Well of course I am Inuyasha. Why wouldn't I?" Inuyasha snorted like its obvious.
"You don't need to go back to school." he said his voice rising just a little bit.
"You can come back to school in a few more days too Inuyasha." Kagome reasoned. "We've got better things to do than sit around
all day!" Inuyasha all but yelled. "Well maybe I want to go back to school!" Kagome shouted back. Mrs. Higurashi sighed. "Kagome."
Kagome didn't hear as she was to busy arguing with Inuyasha. Their shouting got louder and louder so Mrs. Higurashi just sat
back and decided to wait until the two of them had shouted themselves horse. "I am not stupid you big jerk!" Mrs. H. let out
another sigh. Indeed this might take a while.
****************************************************************************************************************************
Back to Miroku/Sango
Sango sat against a tree next to Kaede's hut as she waited for Miroku, who was already late. 'I spend half of the night fretting
over this, the least he could do is be on time.' she thought sourly. Another minute passed and Sango sighed. 'What could he
be doing?' she wondered. "Probably asking a woman to bear his child." she grumbled outloud. "Really Lady Sango, don't you think I
would have found a woman to bear my child already if that was ALL I was looking for in a girl?" Miroku replied as he rounded the corner
of Kaede's hut. Sango jumped a little at his unexpected arrival. "Miroku there you are." she said. Miroku flashed her a charming
smile. "I apologize for the delay Lady Sango, my business took a little longer than I expected." he said as he approached her.
"Now tell me, is there somewhere you had in mind to walk?" he asked. Sango shook her head. She had barely gotten past the asking
part during her fretting, she hadn't thought about it any deeper.
"Well then, there is somewhere I would like to take you." Miroku said as he extended his hand. Sango eyed his hand warily, but
decided that it if she had a hold of it he couldn't grope her. Blushing slightly she took his hand. Miroku's smile widened.
"This way." he said after leaning his staff against a tree. The two of them made their way in the general direction of the
river chatting some of the time and walking in comfortable silence at others. (What do a demon hunter and a lecherous monk talk
about I wonder?) During one of these silent moments Sango considered what Miroku had said before. 'I wonder what he meant by
his comment about asking women to bear his child.' she thought as she glanced at the monk who looked her way and smiled at her
making Sango turn her head away and blush. She decided to worry about it later, but it still gnawed at the back of her mind.
The unlikely couple soon made their way to the part of the river where a small waterfall was. Sango noticed that for some reason
there was an umbrella perched on a rock near the waterfall. Sango gave Miroku a questioning look but he simply smiled and motioned
for her to follow. He picked up the umbrella and opened it. He then held it under the flowing water of the waterfal. Sango
saw with some surprise that there was a small cave behind the waterfall. Still holding the umbrella Miroku moved to the side
to let her pass. Once she had entered Miroku followed her inside. Sango let her eyes roam around the cave. "Its beautiful."
she commented as she eyed the shining rock walls. They seemed almost liquid, probably an illusion caused by the waterfall at
the entrance.
As she let her eyes roam the room they eventually fell upon the reason Miroku had lead her here. 'It seems I wasn't the only
one curious about what a picnic was.' Sango mused as she eyed the blanket with food on it. Miroku motioned for her to sit down
and she complied. Miroku sat down next to her at a respectful distance as she eyed the food. 'It looks wonderful.' she thought.
All kinds of dishes that she had never or rarely ever had were laid out for her. Most of these foods could only be afforded
by the rich, and the bowls they were in were first class china as well. Suddenly, Sango realized where this food had come
from. "Miroku is this what you stole from that village yesterday?" she asked fixing him with an accusing glare. Miroku chuckled
as he picked up a bowl. "Stealing is such a harse word Sango. I prefer to think of it as payment for services rendered." Sango
didn' buy it for a second. "Do you really expect me to eat stolen food from stolen china with stolen chopsticks?" she asked.
In response Miroku handed her the bowl. Sango took it and sighed. 'I guess its the thought that counts.' she thought with
a small smile as she took a bite of some very excellent tofu. Miroku flashed her a grin. "If it makes you feel any better Lady
Sango, I didn't steal the chopsticks."
****************************************************************************************************************************
Back to Inu/Kag
About an hour after they started fighting, it seemed that their voices where finally beginning to die off and they were reduced
to arguing at not so loud levels. Mrs. Higurashi decided it was time to tell Kagome. "Kagome. We already had you removed from
the school registry." Mrs. H told her daughter. "WHAT?!" It seemed that Kagome had found her voice again and Mrs. Higurashi
and Inuyasha winced at the volume. "Well, I thought you were going to be wanting to spend all of your time in Inuyasha's time."
Mrs. H explained. Inuyasha crossed his arms and have a infuriatingly smug smirk on his face that clearly said 'I won this round.'
Kagome could do nothing more than shoot him a glare and fume. Mrs. Higurashi of course had to add the spark to the already
flamable situation. "Besides, how could you have children if you had to go to school?" Kagome opened her mouth to shout out
'MOOTHEER!' but no sound came out. Kagome looked surprised as she tried to speak again, still no sound. Inuyasha found this
extremely funny and opened his mouth to comment, but he too couldn't make a sound.
Mrs. Higurashi chuckled at the sight. "Its seems all of your yelling has made you two lose your voices. Don't worry I have some
herbal tea that will fix that." she said as she got up to fix the tea. Inuyasha glanced over at Kagome who didn't look very
amused at the situation and still look annoyed that she had lost the arguement. Inuyasha, however was in a slightly better mood
and wrapped his arm around her waist. Kagome found it very hard to stay angry at someone when you couldn't bicker and accepted
his silent apology (not that he could make a verbal one if he wanted to) by snuggling against him and shutting her eyes. Inuyasha
let his hand run through her hair as he watched her. He let a small smile appear on his face.
A few minutes later Mrs. Higurashi appeared at the doorway to the kitchen with a pot of herbal tea. She stopped when she saw
the two of them snuggling and smiled. She retreated the kitchen and 'accidently' spilt the tea into the sink. "Oops, I guess
I'll have to make some more." Mrs. Higurashi said to her self. It was nice to see the them cuddling after a fight. 'We used
to do that to.' she mused as she got out another packet of herbal tea. She considered it for a moment and then put it away.
This was the first break in the constant noise in the past hour, it couldn't hurt to let it last a little longer... Mrs. H
called to the couple outside the kitchen. "I'm all out of the tea. I guess you'll just have to wait." Nobody replied, not that
Mrs. Higurashi expected them to. After all they couldn't speak...
****************************************************************************************************************************
Mir/San {It just keeps going!}
The two of them enjoyed the excelent food, albeit stolen excelent food, and eachothers company for quite some time. When Sango
had finished eating she set her bowl down on the blanket and sighed in content. Miroku smiled at her as he too put his bowl
down. "I'm glad you enjoyed it." Sango looked up and returned the smile. Her smile sent a surge of emotions running through
Miroku. He always thought she looked best when she smiled. It was a shame what had happened to her family. He had a feeling
if it hadn't she would smile alot more. 'Of course I would have never met her that way.' Miroku mused as Sango took another
look around the cave. Sango's gaze fell on the waterfall. (ooh the backside of water!) Through the waterfall she could see
river. For some reason it seemed familiar about it. She couldn't put her finger on it and she continued to gaze as she tried
to figure our what was so important about this part of the river. Miroku noticed where Sango's gaze was and he gulped and slowly
schooched away from her.
'I know I've seen this part of the river before.' Sango thought with a soft hmmm. Then realization hit her and her eyes narrowed
into a glare. 'This is where Kagome and I bathe!' Miroku scooted as far away from the youkai exterminator until his back was
against the wall when he saw the deadly gleam in Sango's eyes. Sango got up and started marching towards him with the look of
a killer in her eyes. He put his hands out infront of them as he waved defensively. "It's not what you think Lady Sango! I only
recently found this cave when I was meditating!" he exclaimed. Sango stopped her approach and stared at the doomed monk suspiciously.
"HOW recently?" she asked in a tone that made Miroku lose all thoughts of lieing. Miroku poked his index fingers together and mumbled
something. "THREE WEEKS!?" Sango roared. *Bang! Crash! Smash! Wham!*
A few seconds later Sango, with a blush on her face, dusted her hands off and sat back down. There were quiet a few less
bowls and plates than there had been a few seconds ago and Miroku's hair had noodles and other food in it. Once Miroku could
feel his arms and legs again he moved to sit next to Sango again, at a slightly farther distance. This reminder of the monk's
lecherous ways reminded her of what he had said earlier. It was becoming a terrible itch she couldn't scratch in the back of
her mind. Sango finally decided now was a good time to ask. "Miroku... What did you mean earlier? About someone bearing your
child?" Miroku picked a piece of noodle off his robe before answering. "Don't you think, that in all of the years I have been
searching that I would have found atleast ONE woman willing to bed with me?" he said blunty making Sango blush. "You mean..
people have actually said yes?" She asked feeling a little bit of jelousy.
Miroku chuckled a little and grinned smugly. "You'd be surprised how many lady Sango." Sango gave him a witheringly jelous glare
and his grin quickly changed into the neutral expression he usually wore. "Not that I went through with it." he assured hastily.
Sango was feeling confused as well as annoyed. "Then why do you ask?" Miroku leaned in closer. "Do you really want to know?"
he whispered conspiratously. Sango nodded and Miroku leaned back on a nearby rock. "It might seem strange to you Lady Sango,
but I have found that asking that question is the best way to see into a woman's personality. For just a moment I can see
everything about them in their eyes. I guess you could say it is the first part of a test."
Sango cocked her head in curiousity. "What do you mean?" Miroku picked some more food off of himself. "Well.. Like I said I
said I wasn't just looking for a woman to bear my child. I'm looking for a woman to be a good mother of my child as well. The
question tells me a lot about a woman. If I think they have promise I will test them in other ways. You see Lady Sango, as
strange as it may sound, I don't want my child to grow up like me. I want my child or children to be raised properly in a
respectful manner. As I have limited time I have come up with tests to tell me if they would make a good mother." Sango nodded
in understanding. "So is that why you grope woman as well? Is it part of a test?" She asked. Miroku rubbed the back of his
head and grinned. "I'm afraid that is becuase I am such an admirer of the female body." he said sheeplishly.
Sango sighed and gave the monk an amused look. "I knew all of that lechery couldn't have been an act." she accused teasingly.
Miroku just chuckled. Sango suddenly turned serious and looked away a blush on her face. "Miroku may I ask you something?"
Miroku nodded and watched the nervous girl. "Of course you may Lady Sango." Sango bit her lip and drilled a hole in the floor
with her gaze. "Why haven't you ever asked me then?" She spoke so softly that Miroku barely was able to hear. Miroku reached
out and gently touched her shoulder. "Becuase I already know you would make an excellent mother." he said softly. THen he
smiled. It was a true smile with no hint of lechery or deceit. Sango gazed briefly into his eyes and could tell that all he
had said had been the truth. Sango turned beat red and remained silent.
Miroku's smile turned to one of amusement. "Perhaps it is time we returned. Kaede and Shippo will be worried if we don't come
back soon." Miroku suggested removing his hand and picking up the discarded umbrella near the entrance. Part of Sango wanted
to stay here with him longer but she simply nodded and got up. Miroku once again held the umbrella out and Sango walked out
in silence. Indeed the monk had given her a lot to think about...
****************************************************************************************************************************
Inu/Kag (A/n This is the chapter that never ends. It goes on and on my friends. Some people just started reading it not knowing
what it was and they just kept on reading it becuase this is the chapter that never ends....)
For the next hour or so Mrs. Higurashi kept her now silent guests entertained by catching them up on what had happened the
past week. It was about then that Kagome's voice had started to come back. (She did less yelling than Inuyasha did) "I'll
go get you a glass of water." Mrs. Higurashi told her daughter as she got up. She walked into the kitchen and poured a glass of
water and was about to exit when something caught her eye. 'I almost forgot!' she thought to herself as she picked up the
mystery object and carried it with her out of the room. She handed Kagome her glass of water and revealed the mystery object
to them. It was Inuyasha's painting. Mrs. Higurashi had had it framed. "I hope you don't mind if I keep it." Mrs. Higurashi
said to Inuyasha who just shrugged.
Kagome snapped her fingers. "That's what I forgot. I promised Shippo to get him some paints so Inuyasha could teach him."
Inuyasha looked at her and mouthed 'I said MAYBE!' but Kagome ignored him. Kagome just ignored him. "I think I have some old
ones he can use up in my room." Kagome said after drinking her water. She got up and started up her to her room. Inuyasha got
up and waved his arms angrily mouthing something that probably wasn't suitable for the ears (or eyes in this case) of children.
Whether Kagome saw or not we don't know becuase she just continued on her way up her stairs. Inuyasha followed her up still
protesting silently and waving his arms.
A few minutes later Kagome came down with a small canvas and a set of paints and brushes followed by a pouting Inuyasha. They
arrived down stairs to find Sota and grandpa. They all exchanged greetings and Inuyasha stood there silently pouting. Sota
turned to Inuyasha. "Hey Inuyasha!" he said cheerfully. *Silence* Sota cocked his head. "Hey whats the matter? Cat got your
tounge?" *More silence* Inuyasha gave the boy an annoyed look but Sota didn't notice it. Sota gave a grin. "Or did Kagome bite
it off when you were kissing?" he teased. Kagome gave him a whack, which was a goodthing becuase Inuyasha looked on the verge
to whack the boy himself. "You brat!" Kagome said. "He lost his voice from yelling." Sota oh'd and nodded then dragged poor Inuyasha
off to play video games. Kagome watched them go with a slight blush on her face. 'Where did Sota learn about that kind of kissing?'
she wondered.
Hahaahahh! Finally! That was by far my longest chapter! Sorry it took so long but I've been super busy. In fact today was
auditions for drum major (I turned in the application last friday :P Shows you how long its taken me to write this). I learned
instead of a vote the band teacher is deciding this year. Which is good because I'm not as popular as the other candidate.
I find out tommorow who won so wish me luck!
WOOOHHOOO!! I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT! OVER 100,000 WORDS! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! I'm the tenth to reach this. I'm so proud.
Who would have thought that a three chapter fic would have blossomed into a gigantic fic like this! Thank you all of my reviewers
for supporting me.
I don't own Inuyasha. But I do own a copy of the playstation game. Weee!
Ok ok I'm back. Actually I got back last Tuesday but every single day of school I've either had a project or a report due not to
mention an application for drum major, an application for student council, youth group, and two meetings for the performing
arts haunted house board. And to make it EVEN worse my brothers had TWELVE! kids over to spend the night on friday so I got
no writing done at all becuase I can't stand people walking in on me when I write so I don't when people are around.
I'm paronoid about letting people I know read my fic especially family members. Its probably for nothing, but hey I've managed
to keep it a secret for over 90,000 words so I guess it pays off.
*WoW!* My lawn caught on fire which is why I didn't update sooner. It was close too becuase we live near the woods. If the
fire had spread ten feet farther you'd see on the news that half of upper michigan was on fire! Everything is dry up here right
now so I kid you not.
MoonLigerTsuki- If it wasn't for fear of my parents I would have already wrote a fic about that and a fic where she turns into
a hanyou. Theres also a Kag/Sess fic out there where she turns into a demon and Sesshomaru takes her away that I wanted to
use the beginning as the beginning of another fic that would be Inu/Kag. (It was a very original idea but I HATE Kag/Sess and
Kikyo/Inu so I was going to change it so it would be Kag/Inu.)
simply-keri- Whats your book about? Can I read some of it? And yes I go into a 'zone' where nothing else exsists exept my story.
But I usually snap out of it after a bit and then I slack off instead of writing but it does happen.
dalcacris- My name on MSN is SvF_BD02_Wedge. I can't give you my sign on becuase its the same as my email and I never give it
out becuase if someone were to email me my parents would read it and theyd know about my fic and theyd want to read it and i'd
be grounded becuase theres like three cuss words in it! The games fun and my favorite character is Inuyasha becuase he's well
Inuyasha, but Miroku comes in a close second because he can grope the women in the game! I found this out when I was fighting
Kagura. She sounded like she liked it too.. Now I just got to try it out on Sango.
tOkU-cHaN-Actually I have read your Inuchan story (when it was only like 2 chapters long). I think I reviewed it mustn't have
been signed on though. *Shrugs*. I liked it and have it on a really big list of fics I like but i haven't had time to check them
all. (Its got like 200 fics.)
Lizzie- I don't think she has one. {A website} just that one fic on fanfiction.net.
Midorimiki- Wow you must use a lot of paper :). Just curious but about how many pages IS my story?
Dexter-Nope just msn check the reviews above for my name and explanation.
megan manuella- I think Yuna is enough torture for him.
simply-keri- I used to live in San Antonio. Where do you live?
Kiki-chan- Epcot is fun. I like going to Inovations. I'm into science and stuff and they have all those video games!
marioman -Yes I realized that as well. If you remember which chapters there in I'd appreciate it if you told me.
Eiko- :). The plot? ummmm. Uhh... well... I guess you could say its about tieing up loose ends.
kawaii monkey hanyou- Its for ps1.
KagomeWannabe- Thats a difficult question. In the japanese version I've only heard him say keh and maybe feh once I don't know.
I'm not sure about the english version BECUASE CARTOON NETWORK PUT IT ON TOO LATE ARGHH!!!!
Ok before you read I have two things to say. 1. I have fallen in love with ruroini kenshin becuase its so much easier to watch
and get manga. Which means I'm probably going to write a fic about it. In fact I have one in my head already that to me seems
pretty good. Basicly I just rewound the clock 11 or 12 years when Kaoru's fathers alive and she meets kenshin. (She's still the
same age though and its at the very end of the revolution.)
*ReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadRead*
Secondly I feel the need to gripe a little. I have people that have put me on favorites but they have NEVER reviewed a story!
NOT ONCE! That really hurts my feelings that you love my fic but won't spend ten seconds to tell me so. So please either take
me off favorites or give me a review once in a while.
*ReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadReadRead*
Now thats out of the way lets play a game. If you remember or have time to look tell me every time in the fic where Kagome
says sit and Inuyasha doesn't kiss dirt! If you are the first person to tell me for that sit (include the chapter and the
sentance its in) I'll dedicate a chapter to you. If you aren't the first person for that sit I won't get angry with you or
anything but I won't dedicate a chapter to you either.
I HAVE EMAIL! That's right I got my own address. Feel free to email me at SvF_BD02_Wedge@hotmail.com !
*A/N* Its Sunday in the fic if you haven't been keeping track.
Kagome stood next to the well with her bag on her shoulder. Inuyasha was standing next to her with a nuetral expression on
his face. Normally, Inuyasha would carry the bag, but today it was practically empty. They had left most of the things at
their house. After all they were going to be living there so there was no reason to carry it all around. The only things in
it were their newly aquired shard piece and the clothes that Kagome had already worn and needed washing. Her bloodied school
uniform had been declared unsaveable and discarded. Kagome shifted the bag to her other shoulder as they said their goodbyes.
"You just got here! Why do you have to leave already!" Shippo wailed as he clung to Kagome's leg. Inuyasha's nuetral expression
changed to one of annoyance and Kagome feared that the kitsune would be sporting a few new lumps if she didn't act soon.
"We will be back tonight Shippo." She assured but the kitsune refused to let go and Kagome could see Inuyasha's already thin
patience thinning. "I'll tell you what Shippo." Kagome said cheerfully. "While we're in my time I'll pick up some paints for
you so Inuyasha can teach you." Shippo brightened immediately and released Kagome. Inuyasha, however, wasn't as please. "I
never said I'd teach him!" he protested. "I've got more important things to do than teach the brat how to paint!" Miroku couldn't
help but smirk and whisper under his breath, "I wonder what kinds of important things." Sango heard the comment and couldn't
help but smile a little. 'I'm getting as bad as he is.' she scolded herself. Unfortunately for Miroku, Sango wasn't the only
one. *WHACK* "You perverted monk! Why can't you-" Kagome, who had had enough yelling and arguing sighed and gave Inuyasha a
gentle push. He lost his balance and fell backwards down the well. "You stupid-" was all he managed to say before he hit the
bottom with a thud.
Kagome gasped as she realized that she had the shard. Before Inuyasha could recover and start cursing her to kingdom come she
said a quick goodbye and leapt into the well. She shot down the well and landed on Inuyasha's back. 'At least I'm not wearing
high heels.' she thought as pinkish light enveloped them and pulled them through. (Sorry I'm in a violent mood :P ). Meanwhile
Shippo scampered off to do whatever he does when Kagome's not around leaving Sango and Miroku. Sango looked down at the ground
nervously with a light blush on her face. "Miroku..." She said softly still not looking up. "Would you like to-" Sango looked
up right then to see that Miroku was nowhere to be found. Sango facefaulted before getting up quickly and persuing the monks
footprints feeling a slight surge of anger. She'd been thinking about spending time with Miroku all morning and she sure wasn't
going to let him escape after all that anxiety!
Sango quickly caught up with him as he made his way towards Kaede's village. "Miroku!" She called. Miroku looked over his shoulder
curiously before turning around to greet her. "Yes Lady Sango?" he asked. Sango gulped and looked away. "Would you like to...
to go for a walk?" she spoke so softly that Miroku had to strain to hear her. Miroku sighed. Of all the bad timing. 'It seems
Buddha's luck is not with me today.' he mused. The irony of the situation that of all times Sango could have asked, she picked
the one where he had to decline.
"I'm sorry Lady Sango, but I'm afraid that I am busy at the moment." he said apologeticly. "Oh.." Sango said trying hard to
keep the disapointment from her voice. She kept her eyes everywhere but on Miroku. "It shouldn't take me to long. Perhaps in
an hour or so?" he asked. Sango gave a little nod. Miroku grinned. "Then I shall meet you at Kaede's hut in an hour." he said
before continueing on his way. Miroku couldn't help but feel a bit of smug satisfaction. Sango approaching him saved him the
trouble of doing it himself. Indeed everything was going as he hoped it would. Now to go and make the rest of HIS plans for the
two of them a reality.
****************************************************************************************************************************
Kagome looked down at the swirly eyed hanyou below her. There were two shoe marks on the back of his kimono, courtesy of Kagome
landing on him. "Inuyasha?" she called giving him a little nudge with her hand as she squated down next to him. When he didn't
respond she reached out and gave one of his ears a gentle tug. "Hellloo?" she called. Still no response. With a sighm Kagome
sat down next to him. She decided she might as well stay until he woke up. She felt a little bad for doing this to him, and
she might be able to bypass some of his anger if she was there when he woke up.
Kagome waited for a few minutes before giving he a few gentle wacks on the head. "Come on Inuyasha. I want to go see my family."
No response. Kagome leaned down and whispered into his ear. "Inuyasha, the Ramen's done." Instead to springing to life like
she had hoped the only response she got was Inuyasha's ear twitching a little from her breath. Kagome sighed and leaned back
on the well wall. Most people would probably be afraid for someones life after they fell down a well and then were landed apon
by a 16 year old girl, but not Kagome. She didn't really understand it, but for some reason she didn't feel scared for him.
If someone else had done it to him she would have been, but Kaogme had learned a long time ago that she really couldn't injure
Inuyasha. Even the sits were just superficial, though they were still useful.
After 10 minutes though, Kagome could feel a little anxiety welling inside her. 'I couldn't have really hurt him. Could I?'
she thought nervously. She shook the thoughts out of the way and tried waking him again. "Inuyasha wake up!" she said not bothering
to conceal the fear in her voice. Still he didn't respond and Kagome's anxiety was getting worse by the second. So she did the
first thing that came to mind and grabbed him by his kimono and shook him none to gently. "INUYASHA WAKE UP!" She shrieked.
Inuyasha's eyes popped open and he grabbed his ears. "You stupid wench are you trying to make me deaf!" he shouted angrily
but Kagome was to relieved to care as she breathed a sigh of relief and let go of him. Inuyasha gave her a glare. "What the
hell do you think you were doing pushing me down the well and jumping on me!" he shouted as he stood up. His back made quite
a few cracking and popping sounds as he did.
Kagome simply hugged him and apolgoze and he felt his anger quickly melt. "Don't ever do something that stupid again." he grumbled
as he returned the embrace for a few seconds and stealing a quick kiss as well. Kagome smiled as she let
go of him and dusted herself off before picking up the bag and starting to climb up the ladder. Inuyasha grabbed her arm gently
and she looked down puzzled. "Oi, did I hear something about Ramen?" he asked. Kagome burst out laughing and continued to climb
the ladder leaving a very confused and annoyed hanyou behind. Kagome quickly made her way towards the home, eager to see her
family. She had been gone for less than a week but so much had happened and she couldn't wait to break the news to her mother
who would not doubt be estatic. A still confused and annoyed hanyou leapt out of the well and followed her towards the Higurashi
household.
Kagome opened the door and looked around. Sota was nowhere to be found, nor was grandpa. Kagome could smell something cooking
in the kitchen so she made her way there after setting down her bag. Inuyasha followed with a none too pleasant look on his
face and his arms in his sleeves. Kagome found her mother busy stirring a pot while humming. "Mom I'm home." Kagome said happily
Mrs. Higurashi looked over her shoulder and smiled cheerfully. "Back from your honeymoon already?" she asked. Kagome stared at her
mother in shock. "How did... who told..." she said dumbly. Mrs. Higurashi chuckled. "Well noone TOLD me but it was pretty obvious
that when Inuyasha swept you away in the middle of the night what was happening. After all, you two were sleeping together."
Kagome's face flushed red, whether it was from anger or embarasment or both we don't know. "MOTHER! WE WERE NOT!" Kagome
screamed waving her hands in the air.
Inuyasha decided this was a good time to excuse himself to go get the shards and the Tetsusaiga as he fled the kitchen hastily
not wanting to get caught in the crossfire. Mrs. Higurashi chuckled. "You are so gullible sometime Kagome." she teased as she
took a sip from whatever was in the pot. "I know Inuyasha is a good moral boy and wouldn't think of doing anything without
marrying you first." she said as she walked over to the oven. "Him? What about me?" Kagome protested. Mrs. Higurashi spared
Kagome a glance. "Well... You always were a bit wild Kagome." Kagome sat down in defeat. This definately wasn't going how she
thought it would. 'Well it could be worse.' Kagome mused. 'Mom could hate Inuyasha.' Mrs. Higurashi opened the oven and peeked
inside. "Soo..." she said while prodding whatever was inside with a fork. "Have been having any morning sickness lately?" Kagome
shook her head. "No." she said in confusion. "Mood swings?" "No.." Mrs. Higurashi hmmed. "What about cravings for strange
foods?" she asked. Kagome again answered no still not understanding what was going on. Mrs. Higurashi straightened up walked
over to Kagome where she put her hand on Kagome's stomache. "Umm. Mom? What are you doing?" Kagome asked giving her mother a
strange look. Giving up Mrs. Higurashi sat down next to her daughter. "Really Kagome, if I'm going to be able to enjoy my
grandchildren when I'm still young you'll have to try harder."
Meanwhile:
Upstairs Inuyasha had succeeded in finding the shards and the Tetsusaiga and had just put them in the bag. He picked it up and
was preparing to walk down stairs when he heard another defeaning "MOOTHHEER!!" Inuyasha decided that it might be best if he
stayed up in Kagome's room where it was safe for a while.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Kagome, Inuyasha, and Mrs. Higurashi all sat round the dinner table as Mrs. Higurashi served some hot tea. "Sota and Father should
be back later. They went to the zoo a few hours ago." she told them as she poured the tea. Kagome nodded and thanked her mother
for the tea. "I guess we won't be seeing you as much anymore." Mrs. Higurashi said. Kagome gave her a curious look. "Of course
you will. I can always stop by before and after school to visit." Inuyasha looked at Kagome. "You aren't going back to school."
he said. Kagome gave him a surprised look. "Well of course I am Inuyasha. Why wouldn't I?" Inuyasha snorted like its obvious.
"You don't need to go back to school." he said his voice rising just a little bit.
"You can come back to school in a few more days too Inuyasha." Kagome reasoned. "We've got better things to do than sit around
all day!" Inuyasha all but yelled. "Well maybe I want to go back to school!" Kagome shouted back. Mrs. Higurashi sighed. "Kagome."
Kagome didn't hear as she was to busy arguing with Inuyasha. Their shouting got louder and louder so Mrs. Higurashi just sat
back and decided to wait until the two of them had shouted themselves horse. "I am not stupid you big jerk!" Mrs. H. let out
another sigh. Indeed this might take a while.
****************************************************************************************************************************
Back to Miroku/Sango
Sango sat against a tree next to Kaede's hut as she waited for Miroku, who was already late. 'I spend half of the night fretting
over this, the least he could do is be on time.' she thought sourly. Another minute passed and Sango sighed. 'What could he
be doing?' she wondered. "Probably asking a woman to bear his child." she grumbled outloud. "Really Lady Sango, don't you think I
would have found a woman to bear my child already if that was ALL I was looking for in a girl?" Miroku replied as he rounded the corner
of Kaede's hut. Sango jumped a little at his unexpected arrival. "Miroku there you are." she said. Miroku flashed her a charming
smile. "I apologize for the delay Lady Sango, my business took a little longer than I expected." he said as he approached her.
"Now tell me, is there somewhere you had in mind to walk?" he asked. Sango shook her head. She had barely gotten past the asking
part during her fretting, she hadn't thought about it any deeper.
"Well then, there is somewhere I would like to take you." Miroku said as he extended his hand. Sango eyed his hand warily, but
decided that it if she had a hold of it he couldn't grope her. Blushing slightly she took his hand. Miroku's smile widened.
"This way." he said after leaning his staff against a tree. The two of them made their way in the general direction of the
river chatting some of the time and walking in comfortable silence at others. (What do a demon hunter and a lecherous monk talk
about I wonder?) During one of these silent moments Sango considered what Miroku had said before. 'I wonder what he meant by
his comment about asking women to bear his child.' she thought as she glanced at the monk who looked her way and smiled at her
making Sango turn her head away and blush. She decided to worry about it later, but it still gnawed at the back of her mind.
The unlikely couple soon made their way to the part of the river where a small waterfall was. Sango noticed that for some reason
there was an umbrella perched on a rock near the waterfall. Sango gave Miroku a questioning look but he simply smiled and motioned
for her to follow. He picked up the umbrella and opened it. He then held it under the flowing water of the waterfal. Sango
saw with some surprise that there was a small cave behind the waterfall. Still holding the umbrella Miroku moved to the side
to let her pass. Once she had entered Miroku followed her inside. Sango let her eyes roam around the cave. "Its beautiful."
she commented as she eyed the shining rock walls. They seemed almost liquid, probably an illusion caused by the waterfall at
the entrance.
As she let her eyes roam the room they eventually fell upon the reason Miroku had lead her here. 'It seems I wasn't the only
one curious about what a picnic was.' Sango mused as she eyed the blanket with food on it. Miroku motioned for her to sit down
and she complied. Miroku sat down next to her at a respectful distance as she eyed the food. 'It looks wonderful.' she thought.
All kinds of dishes that she had never or rarely ever had were laid out for her. Most of these foods could only be afforded
by the rich, and the bowls they were in were first class china as well. Suddenly, Sango realized where this food had come
from. "Miroku is this what you stole from that village yesterday?" she asked fixing him with an accusing glare. Miroku chuckled
as he picked up a bowl. "Stealing is such a harse word Sango. I prefer to think of it as payment for services rendered." Sango
didn' buy it for a second. "Do you really expect me to eat stolen food from stolen china with stolen chopsticks?" she asked.
In response Miroku handed her the bowl. Sango took it and sighed. 'I guess its the thought that counts.' she thought with
a small smile as she took a bite of some very excellent tofu. Miroku flashed her a grin. "If it makes you feel any better Lady
Sango, I didn't steal the chopsticks."
****************************************************************************************************************************
Back to Inu/Kag
About an hour after they started fighting, it seemed that their voices where finally beginning to die off and they were reduced
to arguing at not so loud levels. Mrs. Higurashi decided it was time to tell Kagome. "Kagome. We already had you removed from
the school registry." Mrs. H told her daughter. "WHAT?!" It seemed that Kagome had found her voice again and Mrs. Higurashi
and Inuyasha winced at the volume. "Well, I thought you were going to be wanting to spend all of your time in Inuyasha's time."
Mrs. H explained. Inuyasha crossed his arms and have a infuriatingly smug smirk on his face that clearly said 'I won this round.'
Kagome could do nothing more than shoot him a glare and fume. Mrs. Higurashi of course had to add the spark to the already
flamable situation. "Besides, how could you have children if you had to go to school?" Kagome opened her mouth to shout out
'MOOTHEER!' but no sound came out. Kagome looked surprised as she tried to speak again, still no sound. Inuyasha found this
extremely funny and opened his mouth to comment, but he too couldn't make a sound.
Mrs. Higurashi chuckled at the sight. "Its seems all of your yelling has made you two lose your voices. Don't worry I have some
herbal tea that will fix that." she said as she got up to fix the tea. Inuyasha glanced over at Kagome who didn't look very
amused at the situation and still look annoyed that she had lost the arguement. Inuyasha, however was in a slightly better mood
and wrapped his arm around her waist. Kagome found it very hard to stay angry at someone when you couldn't bicker and accepted
his silent apology (not that he could make a verbal one if he wanted to) by snuggling against him and shutting her eyes. Inuyasha
let his hand run through her hair as he watched her. He let a small smile appear on his face.
A few minutes later Mrs. Higurashi appeared at the doorway to the kitchen with a pot of herbal tea. She stopped when she saw
the two of them snuggling and smiled. She retreated the kitchen and 'accidently' spilt the tea into the sink. "Oops, I guess
I'll have to make some more." Mrs. Higurashi said to her self. It was nice to see the them cuddling after a fight. 'We used
to do that to.' she mused as she got out another packet of herbal tea. She considered it for a moment and then put it away.
This was the first break in the constant noise in the past hour, it couldn't hurt to let it last a little longer... Mrs. H
called to the couple outside the kitchen. "I'm all out of the tea. I guess you'll just have to wait." Nobody replied, not that
Mrs. Higurashi expected them to. After all they couldn't speak...
****************************************************************************************************************************
Mir/San {It just keeps going!}
The two of them enjoyed the excelent food, albeit stolen excelent food, and eachothers company for quite some time. When Sango
had finished eating she set her bowl down on the blanket and sighed in content. Miroku smiled at her as he too put his bowl
down. "I'm glad you enjoyed it." Sango looked up and returned the smile. Her smile sent a surge of emotions running through
Miroku. He always thought she looked best when she smiled. It was a shame what had happened to her family. He had a feeling
if it hadn't she would smile alot more. 'Of course I would have never met her that way.' Miroku mused as Sango took another
look around the cave. Sango's gaze fell on the waterfall. (ooh the backside of water!) Through the waterfall she could see
river. For some reason it seemed familiar about it. She couldn't put her finger on it and she continued to gaze as she tried
to figure our what was so important about this part of the river. Miroku noticed where Sango's gaze was and he gulped and slowly
schooched away from her.
'I know I've seen this part of the river before.' Sango thought with a soft hmmm. Then realization hit her and her eyes narrowed
into a glare. 'This is where Kagome and I bathe!' Miroku scooted as far away from the youkai exterminator until his back was
against the wall when he saw the deadly gleam in Sango's eyes. Sango got up and started marching towards him with the look of
a killer in her eyes. He put his hands out infront of them as he waved defensively. "It's not what you think Lady Sango! I only
recently found this cave when I was meditating!" he exclaimed. Sango stopped her approach and stared at the doomed monk suspiciously.
"HOW recently?" she asked in a tone that made Miroku lose all thoughts of lieing. Miroku poked his index fingers together and mumbled
something. "THREE WEEKS!?" Sango roared. *Bang! Crash! Smash! Wham!*
A few seconds later Sango, with a blush on her face, dusted her hands off and sat back down. There were quiet a few less
bowls and plates than there had been a few seconds ago and Miroku's hair had noodles and other food in it. Once Miroku could
feel his arms and legs again he moved to sit next to Sango again, at a slightly farther distance. This reminder of the monk's
lecherous ways reminded her of what he had said earlier. It was becoming a terrible itch she couldn't scratch in the back of
her mind. Sango finally decided now was a good time to ask. "Miroku... What did you mean earlier? About someone bearing your
child?" Miroku picked a piece of noodle off his robe before answering. "Don't you think, that in all of the years I have been
searching that I would have found atleast ONE woman willing to bed with me?" he said blunty making Sango blush. "You mean..
people have actually said yes?" She asked feeling a little bit of jelousy.
Miroku chuckled a little and grinned smugly. "You'd be surprised how many lady Sango." Sango gave him a witheringly jelous glare
and his grin quickly changed into the neutral expression he usually wore. "Not that I went through with it." he assured hastily.
Sango was feeling confused as well as annoyed. "Then why do you ask?" Miroku leaned in closer. "Do you really want to know?"
he whispered conspiratously. Sango nodded and Miroku leaned back on a nearby rock. "It might seem strange to you Lady Sango,
but I have found that asking that question is the best way to see into a woman's personality. For just a moment I can see
everything about them in their eyes. I guess you could say it is the first part of a test."
Sango cocked her head in curiousity. "What do you mean?" Miroku picked some more food off of himself. "Well.. Like I said I
said I wasn't just looking for a woman to bear my child. I'm looking for a woman to be a good mother of my child as well. The
question tells me a lot about a woman. If I think they have promise I will test them in other ways. You see Lady Sango, as
strange as it may sound, I don't want my child to grow up like me. I want my child or children to be raised properly in a
respectful manner. As I have limited time I have come up with tests to tell me if they would make a good mother." Sango nodded
in understanding. "So is that why you grope woman as well? Is it part of a test?" She asked. Miroku rubbed the back of his
head and grinned. "I'm afraid that is becuase I am such an admirer of the female body." he said sheeplishly.
Sango sighed and gave the monk an amused look. "I knew all of that lechery couldn't have been an act." she accused teasingly.
Miroku just chuckled. Sango suddenly turned serious and looked away a blush on her face. "Miroku may I ask you something?"
Miroku nodded and watched the nervous girl. "Of course you may Lady Sango." Sango bit her lip and drilled a hole in the floor
with her gaze. "Why haven't you ever asked me then?" She spoke so softly that Miroku barely was able to hear. Miroku reached
out and gently touched her shoulder. "Becuase I already know you would make an excellent mother." he said softly. THen he
smiled. It was a true smile with no hint of lechery or deceit. Sango gazed briefly into his eyes and could tell that all he
had said had been the truth. Sango turned beat red and remained silent.
Miroku's smile turned to one of amusement. "Perhaps it is time we returned. Kaede and Shippo will be worried if we don't come
back soon." Miroku suggested removing his hand and picking up the discarded umbrella near the entrance. Part of Sango wanted
to stay here with him longer but she simply nodded and got up. Miroku once again held the umbrella out and Sango walked out
in silence. Indeed the monk had given her a lot to think about...
****************************************************************************************************************************
Inu/Kag (A/n This is the chapter that never ends. It goes on and on my friends. Some people just started reading it not knowing
what it was and they just kept on reading it becuase this is the chapter that never ends....)
For the next hour or so Mrs. Higurashi kept her now silent guests entertained by catching them up on what had happened the
past week. It was about then that Kagome's voice had started to come back. (She did less yelling than Inuyasha did) "I'll
go get you a glass of water." Mrs. Higurashi told her daughter as she got up. She walked into the kitchen and poured a glass of
water and was about to exit when something caught her eye. 'I almost forgot!' she thought to herself as she picked up the
mystery object and carried it with her out of the room. She handed Kagome her glass of water and revealed the mystery object
to them. It was Inuyasha's painting. Mrs. Higurashi had had it framed. "I hope you don't mind if I keep it." Mrs. Higurashi
said to Inuyasha who just shrugged.
Kagome snapped her fingers. "That's what I forgot. I promised Shippo to get him some paints so Inuyasha could teach him."
Inuyasha looked at her and mouthed 'I said MAYBE!' but Kagome ignored him. Kagome just ignored him. "I think I have some old
ones he can use up in my room." Kagome said after drinking her water. She got up and started up her to her room. Inuyasha got
up and waved his arms angrily mouthing something that probably wasn't suitable for the ears (or eyes in this case) of children.
Whether Kagome saw or not we don't know becuase she just continued on her way up her stairs. Inuyasha followed her up still
protesting silently and waving his arms.
A few minutes later Kagome came down with a small canvas and a set of paints and brushes followed by a pouting Inuyasha. They
arrived down stairs to find Sota and grandpa. They all exchanged greetings and Inuyasha stood there silently pouting. Sota
turned to Inuyasha. "Hey Inuyasha!" he said cheerfully. *Silence* Sota cocked his head. "Hey whats the matter? Cat got your
tounge?" *More silence* Inuyasha gave the boy an annoyed look but Sota didn't notice it. Sota gave a grin. "Or did Kagome bite
it off when you were kissing?" he teased. Kagome gave him a whack, which was a goodthing becuase Inuyasha looked on the verge
to whack the boy himself. "You brat!" Kagome said. "He lost his voice from yelling." Sota oh'd and nodded then dragged poor Inuyasha
off to play video games. Kagome watched them go with a slight blush on her face. 'Where did Sota learn about that kind of kissing?'
she wondered.
Hahaahahh! Finally! That was by far my longest chapter! Sorry it took so long but I've been super busy. In fact today was
auditions for drum major (I turned in the application last friday :P Shows you how long its taken me to write this). I learned
instead of a vote the band teacher is deciding this year. Which is good because I'm not as popular as the other candidate.
I find out tommorow who won so wish me luck!
WOOOHHOOO!! I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT! OVER 100,000 WORDS! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! I'm the tenth to reach this. I'm so proud.
Who would have thought that a three chapter fic would have blossomed into a gigantic fic like this! Thank you all of my reviewers
for supporting me.
