Disclaimer: I don't own the Inuyasha characters, but you should all have figured that one out.


A couple years later, after the group had defeated Naraku and collected all the jewel shards, the five of them were at an unease. What would happen next?

Miroku called out, Sango wait!

The young demon exterminator looked back in the direction of the no longer cursed monk, Yes, Miroku?

Sango, I just wanted to know, Miroku started as he eased his arm over her shoulder, Now that my wind tunnel is gone, his hand slowly crept down her back, and, well, I won't have a son who's cursed will you marry me? Miroku's hand jerked down to Sango's ass.

SLAP! WHY YOU PERVERT! SLAP! (again) YOU! YOU! Sango raised her hand to deliver another blow, did you just propose to me?! She finished in astonishment.

Miroku lowered his arm from its defensive position, he replied cautiously. For a few seconds, the two just stared at each other. Then,
Sango cried leaping into Miroku's arms. They both broke into ear-splitting grins and started to kiss passionately.

Shippo, who just happen to be wandering by, witnessed only the last part of the scene, and continued on, muttering, Geez, get a room! KAGOME! KAGOME, WHERE ARE YOU? the little fox demon finished in a shout.

Over here, Shippo! Kagome was sitting by the spring attempting to fully purify the jewel.

Kagome! You're not leaving us are you?

Shippo, where's you hear THAT from? asked Kagome, turning her attention away from the jewel to talk the slightly troubled child.

Inuyasha told me that once you gave him the Shikon jewel that you were going back to your own time!

Meanwhile, up in a nearby tree, Inuyasha silently watched Kagome's reaction.

He said what? Inside, Kagome was slightly hurt. Does Inuyasha not want me here anymore? she thought to herself, Maybe he's just trying to sound macho to Shippo again.

He said you were giving him the jewel and then going home! Shippo's eyes began to water.

Shippo, calm down. Now, did Inuyasha say what he was going to use the Shikon no Tama for? asked Kagome urgently.

Suddenly, Inuyasha dropped down in front of the two, surprising them both. And what the hell does THAT question mean?!
