@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@

Miroku woke up the next morning, looking over he saw Sango quietly sleeping. He looked out the window and saw that the sun was high in the sky. It was a little more than four hours after dawn. (about 11:00 A.M.) He than began to look around the hut and saw Kaede working in the hearth, preparing what looked like to be breakfast.

"A ye Miroku finally awakens." Kaede says with a smile. "Come on over yonder and break ye'r fast, I ave prepared ye barley and honey."

"Thank you Lady Kaede, but I don't want anything until Sango is well again." Miroku looked over at Sango sleeping peacefully.

"Well ye won't ave to worry, she awoke for some time last nigh when ye were asleep. She will be fine this morning. Kaede smiled, "She is a tough one, she wasn't gonna let some demon finish 'er."

"Ah, that is promising news indeed Lady Kaede, but I still don't want anything until she wakes. Thank you kindly though." Miroku turned his attention back to Sango.

"As ye wish Miroku, but when she awakens I expect ye to send word to me immediately. I must go and collect some more herbs this mornin' I will be back shortly, watch over 'er Miroku.

"As always Lady Kaede." Miroku replied.

With that Kaede went out collecting herbs. Miroku turned his attention back to Sango, ignoring the cramping in his stomach from not eating or drinking anything for the past four days. Miroku continued to sit wondering when his silent vigilant over his love would come to an end, when she woke again.

He didn't have to wait very long. About ten minutes later Sango started to stir in her sleep. "Mmmmmmmiroku....umm."

*Is she dreaming about me??* Miroku wondered.

He sat there and watched Sango start to fall into a deep sleep, when she suddenly cried his name aloud "MIROKU!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed "NNOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Sango, Sango, wake up it's only a dream" Miroku gently started to shake Sango into waking up. "Sango it's ok you're safe, it's just a nightmare wake up!!!" Miroku practically screamed.

She then opened her eyes, and took a deep breath, "Huh.. it was just a dream" she muttered aloud. She then looked up right into a concerned hentai monks' face. "Miroku??????"

"Hai, Sango. How are you feeling?" He asked with concern and worry openly shown on his normal complacent face.

She looked at him with open awe etched into her face, * He cares about me???? ME????????????? * she thought. "Yes, Miroku I'm feeling fine right now. Although my back is stiff and I'd like to sit up.

He smiled when he heard her called him by his name and not by his formal title. "Well that I can do." He helped to prop her up on some pillows to an almost sitting position. "Is that better, Lady Sango?"

"Yes, thank you very much" she smiled at him. She then looked down at her wrapped stomach there was only one small bandage now covering her stomach, that was visible under a short top Kaede had put on her. She looked at it and then at Miroku. "I remember how I got this and Kaede told me that you saved me, but, should there be a lot more pain than this, for the size of the wounds inflicted?" she asked him.

"Yes", he smiled at her, "Normally there would be but Kaede and I used our miko/monk power to help to hell it faster and more effectively."

She then smiled as she understood, "Thank Miroku, you saved my life twice, I owe you"

He looked at her, "No you don't owe my anything, I'm just glad you are feeling better, aren't you Lady Sango?"

"Yes" She smiled

"Good I'm glad I was so worried about you!" he said the fear and panic for her seeped through his voice.

She at him, deep in thought, "We were worried about me?" she asked with a blush staining across her cheeks. She saw his eyes widen and looked down timidly, thinking she was wrong and he was just being a good friend to say that.

Miroku saw this and gently put a hand under her chin raising her head up so he could look her in the eye, "Sango", he said her name huskily sending chills through her spine. "I was very worried about you. I don't know what I would do if I had lost you without telling how I really feel about you."

Sango gave a little gasp of surprise, she could read the conflicting emotions that poured through the broken calm of the monk. "Miroku."

He raised his other hand and gently set it on her lips, "Please let me finish." She quieted quickly longing to know what he had to say.

"I know you think I'm a leach, a hentai, but that's just to keep you away from me, to keep you safe."

"What do you mean safe", Sango smoothly interjected.

He looked at her determined face, knowing she wanted a truthful answer, "Well....

"I mean, do you really think being a demon slayer is like cuddling puppies? It's hard and dangerous, so what could be worse then that.

"Telling you that I love you more than life itself, and then asking for your hand in marriage, and then leaving you unexpectedly when my wind tunnel consumes me." Sango just looked at him in shock and awe. But, he continued without looking at her expression. "I couldn't leave you to a life like that, and I can't give you the life you want, until Naraku is killed, but I can't risk losing you, so....I had to tell you and I'll understand if you never want to see me again, and once you're healed I'll leave you alone.

He started to look down at Sango when, he felt her arms slide around his neck and pull him down, with more force than he would have thought, was possible from her, when she was this wounded. He meet her eyes, she looked deep into his eyes, "Miroku, I love you too, and I want to marry you, you WILL give me the life I want and need, once we destroy Naraku, if you still want me, I will be honored to marry you."

Miroku's eyes started to glass over just a bit, when she told him all of this. "Sango.." his voice was filled with wonder and love. He gently grasped Sango tighter behind the neck and leaned down, to kiss her. Once his lips brushed against hers she shyly responded, and fall into sync with him. The mouths met and clung, and met and clung again. They were about to meet again when "gggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrr".

Sango laughed, like the tinkling of glass, "It sounds like my love is hungry." She smiled.

MEANWHILE, BACK IN THAT CAVE
( 3 days ago) ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inuyasha woke up with Kagome in his arms, his wounds were all healed, and she was still asleep in his arms. He just sat there looking at her thinking that last night she said she would be his mate, *She accepted me for me, gods I love her* he thought.

He heard Kagome waking up, he looked down at her. As she opened her eyes, he was greeted with a warm smile. "Morning Inuyasha" she said smiling big.

He smile back at her, with an evil little smirk on his face, she knew he was up to something. "Morning Kagome, you remember last night right?"

She chuckled slightly, "Of course how could I forget something that important. She leaned in closer to his chest. "You mean the world to me."

Inuyasha could smell her arousal, and her scent was driving him crazy. "Kagome..." he looked at her and then kissed her deeply, his tongue sliding in her mouth, Kagome felt like she was on fire. Her scent was becoming so intoxicating he could hardly control himself, "Kagome, I want you now, I need you now, as my mate", he panted out.

Kagome looked into his eyes, seeing the love and the lust radiating from them, "Then take me", she panted back to him.

Inuyasha didn't need to be told twice, he started to kiss is way with agonizing slowness down her neck, to her shoulder, and then back up to suck on a very sensitive part of her neck, causing her to moan in need, wanting, demanding more. He growled slightly, and started to run his hand under her shirt up to her lacy thing she called a bra, * Why does she wear this thing * he thought angrily * And how do I get it off!!* He was about to rip apart Kagome's shirt and bra when,....

"MOMMY!!!!" Shippo screamed in pure delight!
