Sorry about the long wait, but I had driver's ed and homework. I have about
an hour of time now, so here we go. I was going to leave my fic at Ch. 5,
but I'm just too damn merciful I guess. Sorry about the cliffy, but it's
necessary to build suspense. After this chap, things move slowly, so I will
only update about every 2 weeks or so. I promise I will update this time.

Ch. 6- Last Chance
Kagome stopped, poised to jump back into the well. "What did you say?"
"I.. love you, Kagome," he choked, forcing his shoulders not to shake from his suppressed sobs as he looked at the ground.
Tears formed in Kagome's eyes as she slid back onto the ground beside him.
*Inu-Yasha..*
For a minute, the endless silence was deafening. Then, faster than even she could imagine, Kagome flew into him, burying her face in his chest
"Why didn't you tell me?"
The stunned hanyou didn't realize his arms were holding her for dear life until he spoke again.
"Please don't leave me, Kagome. I can't live without you. You're my world."
Kagome felt tears pricking her eyes. She couldn't move, he was holding her top tightly, so she turned her face up to look at him.
"Inu-Yasha, I have to go. I need to do this, for me."
"Then let me come with you" he pleaded, looking down at her as he loosened his grip enough to let her sit up.
"You can't. You wouldn't survive away from your time, much less away from your country. I don't want you to get hurt"
"Then let me come home with you, just until you leave. Please, Kagome. I need you." He begged, grasping her shoulders tightly.
Kagome looked up at him and nodded.
Once again, she was pulled to him, but this time, he pulled her into a fierce kiss. (Beats back jealous fan girls with a stick. Down girls, down!)
"Thank you" he whispered when he pulled away enough to look in her eyes.
She sat there for a moment, waiting for the haze of shock to pass.
"Um.. Uh" she stammered.
Inu-Yasha smiled and placed a lighter kiss on her lips.
"Don't say anything. Let's just go."
Kagome nodded dumbly, and took the hand he offered as they stood. Inu-Yasha wrapped an arm around her waist as she laid her head on his shoulder. Together, they jumped into the well to the other side of time.
(A/N: I could just leave it here, but what's this? Sango and Miroku in the bushes?)
Miroku and Sango watched as the newly reconciled lovers left. Both breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, all was as it should be. Smiling, Sango turned to look at Miroku, and noticed him gazing at the now empty clearing with a look of longing.
"Miroku? What's wrong?" she asked.
"I was just thinking," he replied "How lucky they are. They found someone who loves them unconditionally."
He looked down at her.
"I was just hoping I'd be so lucky someday. But, listen to me. I'm probably boring you. Let's get back to Kaede's." He began to stand up.
"Miroku." Sango started, putting a hand on his shoulder.
He turned to stare at her hand, then, after a moment, at her. Between them, a long unspoken question was answered. Miroku leaned down and gently placed a kiss on her lips, while placing his hands on her shoulders. Sango tensed for a brief moment, then lifted her arms. Miroku felt her move, and feared he was about to be slapped. Before he could pull away and run for cover, her arms wrapped around his neck as she returned the kiss. Eventually, (and I'm sure everybody hates this) they had to pull away to breathe. Sango timidly met Miroku's eyes, which gazed down at her with a fierce passion.
'This has to be a dream' she thought. 'I wish it could go on forever'
"Oh, Miroku" she cried as she buried her face in his shoulder.
She didn't want him to look at her like that if she was dreaming. She began to tremble and cry all at once, clinging to him, clinging to the dream.
"Sango? What's wrong? Are you ill?" he asked, trying to get her to look at him.
"I'm scared, Miroku" she whispered.
Startled, he wrapped his arms around her, offering her whatever comfort he could.
"Of what, baby?"
"That I'll wake up" she began crying even harder.
Miroku smiled gently and shifted so he could hold her closer. He kissed her hair and began to rock her gently.
"Sango, you can't feel pain in dreams, and seeing you cry like this is tearing me apart. Look at me"
She let out a shuddering breath and pulled back slightly. He cupped her chin in his hand and brought her eyes to his.
"I love you, Sango"
