On with the Story*!

"I have something to tell you............" Inuyasha said as he looked deeply into her eyes.

~@*~@*~@*~@*~@*~@*~@*~@*~@*~@*~@*~@*~

Continuing

* He has something to tell me, I wonder what? * "Of course I'll sit with you Inuyasha, what did you want to tell me?" Kagome inquired.

Kagome had her eyes locked on his as she sat down next to him.

Inuyasha finally realized that now he had his chance to tell her, and he gulped at the thought of her rejection. * Well here goes, everything. *

"Kagome, you saved my life twice today, I owe you everything."- "But Inuyasha you"- Kagome was cut off as Inuyasha's hand covered her mouth, please let me finish." She nodded 'ok', and he continued.

"Kagome, I'll tell you today, when I saw Kouga had you trapped in his hand, I wanted to kill him on the spot, for even being near you, let alone touching you. If you had asked me earlier today why, I probably would have shrugged and answered with my typical 'Feh, couldn't let my shard dector get hurt', but I finally admitted the truth to myself, when the poison was trying to kill me" he paused, and looked like he was trying to figure out what to say next.

"I don't know how, or even what happened to me, in this world, while the poison took me to a realm of deadly dreams and a confrontation with Kikyo." At hearing her name Kagome drew in a breath that sounded a lot like a growl, but she let him continue.

"Kagome, she was the one who gave Kouga all those shards, she wanted him to use the poison in his claws to kill you. She told me this when she thought her poison was killing me, which it was until you saved me." he smiled at her, Kagome's blushed darken, to a new shade of red.

"Kagome, she told me since she couldn't kill you, she decided she was going to take me to hell with her." At hearing this Kagome started to fume. * She's so sexy, when she's mad. *Inuyasha thought. Kagome looked as though she wanted to say something, but stopped herself, so she could hear the rest of what he needed to say.

"She said she was going to take me, because I loved her." At this Kagome looked like she wanted to kill Kikyo and cry for loosing Inuyasha. "But, when I heard her say those words I finally admitted to myself that I have never truly loved Kikyo, and the only person in the world that I wanted to be with, more than life itself, was you, I love you Kagome, with all my heart and soul, you are my world." he looked at her with a fear of rejection in his eyes.

* Oh my kami, he admitted that he loves me, me not Kikyo. * She looked at him and saw the fear in his eyes, she decided to end his fears.

"Inuyasha....." Kagome started. * Oh no, she doesn't feel the same way, she going to reject me, she's probably going to sit me too!!! * , "Inuyasha, look at me", he complied, "I love you too, I have for a long time now."

* She.....loves.....ME?.... SHE LOVES ME!!!!* Inuyasha got the goofiest grin on his face, "You love me?" She nodded "Yes, yes I do". He gently put his left hand behind her neck and pulled her close, looked deep into her eyes, and seeing only pure joy and happiness he closed the distance between their lips.

Their lips met and clung, their bodies being aroused, then Inuyasha decided to deepen the kiss, he gently slid his tongue across her lips begging for access. She complied without a moment's hesitation. He started out gently tasting her mouth, until it grew to be a battle of domination of their mouths. Kagome broke away from the heated passion, very regretfully. ( A/N But you do need to come up for air, once and awhile!) Inuyasha looked at her, "You know I still have a question to ask of you" he stated.

"Oh, what is it?"

"Will you.......~gulp~.......will you be......m-m-m-my mate? he stuttered fearing that she wouldn't want him.

Kagome sat in shock, * he wants me to be his * , she smiled, "Inuyasha, yes a thousand times yes, I would be forever happy, if I was your mate."

He leaned in for another kiss, which deepen immediately as their mouths clung. Inuyasha slipped his right hand behind her waist pulling her in closer to his body. Kagome came up for breath as he brought his hand up to the small of her back rubbing in little circles. She wrapped left arm around his neck pulling him back down to her to begin, their little 'wrestling match', Inuyasha came down easily, mouth ready, their little 'fight' began again until Kagome put her right hand on Inuyasha's bare chest, gently pushing against him. She heard his little moan, one that was of pain not pleasure. She broke away, "You're still hurt, and you need your rest."

"I will if you will lie with me?"

"Hai" She lied down next to him. Inuyasha put his left arm around her waist to keep her close. By, the sound of her breathing he could tell she was already asleep. He looked at her beauty, thanking the gods that she was to be his, his, forever no one else's. As he watched her chest rise and fall with each breathe she took, he gently laid down holding her close, his nose in her hair to keep her near to him. Her scent always soothed him, and shortly he was with his beloved in sleep.

MEANWHILE BACK AT WITH MIROKU AND SANGO

*Oh my god, I can't believe this happen to her! She's never caught off guard*, Miroku thought worriedly. The camp was in sight.

*Hang on, just a while longer Sango, you'll be alright.* Sango was stirring, in between becoming consciousness and unconsciousness again and waking up, "M..m..mm..mir..kou?", Sango whispered.

"I'm here Sango!" He almost yelled, she drifted off into a very deep sleep, almost coma-like. Miroku started to almost ran as he made his way back to camp.

He ran over and gently laid Sango down on her blankets, creating a little nest-like bed around her body, to keep her warm.

Shippo ran over with the bucket of water and several clean strips of cloth. Miroku started to clean off Sango's stomach, since most of her wound were there, the slashes became visible , once the blood was cleared away, you could see the slashes three in a row. They were deep and dark red blood pooling out. But, they didn't look like claw marks. As Miroku was inspecting the wounds, and the flesh looked like it was slightly tucked in, or rather under her skin tissue.

If she had been cut by Kouga's claws there would have been slashes and rips in her skin. He was gently poking at the wounds, * This wasn't done by claws but, wait what's this?* He had found a rather large chip of something. *Is this......yes I believe it is, it's a piece of a tooth. Kouga must have picked her up in his mouth and thrown her across the clearing.... my poor Sango. * He looked at her, with worry sketched plain across the normal elusive calm of the monk's features.

"Miroku, look up there's Kilala, coming back we can ride on her and get Sango back to Kaede's and then she can make Sango all better." Shippo said just as Kilala passed overhead.

"Shippo, that's a great idea", he looked down at Sango's form, *Hang on*, he silently was thinking.

Kilala landed and Miroku climb on her back with Sango in his arms. He looked down at Shippo, "Are you coming??" he asked.

Shippo looked at Sango and replied," No, I know Kagome and Inuyasha are still around here and they will come back once the danger has passed, so I will wait for them and then we will meet you back at Kaede's."

"Alright, that sounds good to me" Miroku nodded, "But, be VERY careful Shippo!"

"I will be now go, help Sango" Shippo cried.

"Right, off we go Kilala", Miroku said to her.

And with there Kilala took to the air, fling as fast and as gently as she could to reach Kaede.

Within minutes they were landing in the village, Kaede was running forward. "What's wrong Miroku, what happened to Sango?

"I'll explain in a minute first you have to heal her!" Miroku almost screamed.

"Right Miroku, right. Bring her in my hut, I'll get the water boiling.

With that she went quickly to the nearest river and got a pot full of river water. The second she reentered the hut she put it to boil. She began to unwind the bandages Miroku placed around her abdomen to stop the bleeding. As she finished unwinding it she got her first look at the wounds, "Oh my", Kaede exclaimed. "What on earth happened to her Miroku, and start at the beginning of all this."

"Yes, Lady Kaede" Mirkou replied as he began to retell his tale, of what he knew anyway.

~&*~&*~&*~&*~&*~&*~&*~&*~&*~&*~&*~&*~&*~&*~ Sango's POV

Memories

* A giant youaki jumped out of the brush, heading straight for Kagome and myself. I don't have my Hiraikotsu, damn it!!!! Wait a minute...that's..........that's ...Kouga?? * Was all she could remember before waves of pain cascaded through her body. Salivia, teeth, sharp pain. Flesh ripping, blood flowing and then a flying sensation, met with cold, hard, ground. And finally utter darkness. * Am I dead? * Sango wondered. She felt like it but, she thought she could hear voices before she lapsed into an coma-like sleep.

Sango's Dream

"Hitarkotsu" Sango shouted before throwing her boomerang at the snake youkai. It bounced off with little more than a scratch of damage inflicted on it. The snake youkai brought its head back for a strike, moving lightning quick, that Sango couldn't pick up its movements. The youkai thrust its head out at Sango, hurling her through a tree.

She rose painfully to her feet, to try use her boomerang again. She was fighting alone, against a snake youkai and couldn't destroy it? * Something is very wrong about this demon, even with 3 jewel shards it should still be affected by my Hiraikotsu....I wonder what's going on.*

"Ssssssssssss, ssstupid human, do you really think that little boomerang will destroy me, I'm King of the Snake Youkai, your pathetic weapon will never defeat me! With that he again hurled himself at her with his jaws wide open. Fangs drenched in poison can charging out, and fork tongue, wrapped itself around her waist, pulling her into its mouth. "Arg... I can't move" Sango cried helplessly. *I'm going to die!!* Was the only thought coursing through her mind.

"Sango", a certain hentai monk yelled, "Hang on I'm coming." She looked up to see Miroku jump up to the snake youkai, with his staff, and hit him as hard as he could in the mouth releasing Sango from it's grasp.

"Oommpph", Sango let out when she hit the ground. Looking over she saw Miroku running toward her and pulling her with him about 25 yards away from the snake youkai king. "Stay behind me and hold on tight to my back or stomach", he told her. She looked up, he was releasing the rosary beads about his right hand, "Kazannaa" he cried.

The roaring wind surrounded the clearing, pulling the snake youkai into it. Sango held onto Miroku for dear life. Then the winds died as Miroku closed the windtunnel again, securing it with the rosary beads around his hand. "Sango, are you alright", he asked her.

"Yes, thank you Houshi-sama." She replied

"Sango", she looked at him when he said her name. "Sango, call me Miroku, please."

"Yes all right, Miroku", He smiled when he heard her calling him by his name.

"Miroku, how did you find me out here?" She asked him.

"I heard a fight going on, and you left alone, I was worried, so I came out here looking for you."

"Thank you", was all she could say, she was blushing a brilliant bright red.

Miroku leaned over and gave her a non-hentai hug, "I will always be here for you Sango, whenever you need help I will be here for you."

She smiled at his words, and then everything seemed to disappear, * It's a dream she thought* , as she began to wake up.

She woke up feeling sore and hungry, when she opened her eyes see saw..... * Oh my god, is that.....Miroku, laying next to me? * * He's not being a hentai right now, if only he could do that more often.* she thought.

She looked around at her settings she was in Kaede's hut. *What!!!!! What am I doing in Kaede's hut???!!!!* She then looked down at her body, it was covered in bandages, under the layers of blankets on top of her. And Miroku gently had his arm entangled with her hand, causing her to blush slighty. She saw that he was sleeping. She didn't want to wake them, so she decided to go back to sleep. She looked up and saw Kaede walk into the hut she looked at Miroku and then noticed that Sango was awake. She quietly whispered, "My child how are ye feeling?"

"Better, thank you Lady Kaede." Sango whispered in reply.

"Ye should wait to thank anyone until Miroku wakes up, he was the one who brought ye 'ere after that demon attacked ye. He never left ye'r side, for the last three nights. He was quite worried about ye'r safety."

Sango blushed crimson red.

Kaede laughed quietly, "Go back to rest my child, ye still need ye'r rest."

"Yes, Lady Kaede." Sango replied to the retreating figure leaving the hut. She briefly glanced at Miroku, smiled and slowly drifted off to sleep with her dreams filled with Miroku.
