Chapter 27:
Sango awoke to find herself still lying on the Houshi's warm lap; she rubbed her eyes. Sango got up, but her body was begging her not to. "Oh you're up. You alright?"
"Just gotta stretch before I try to walk. We need to get back to the inn. Inuyasha I'm sure is just itching to start our journey again."
"Yeah you're probably right." She was up now, stretching slowly, making pained expressions as she went.
"Oohhh." She complained.
"Are you sure you can handle yourself?"
"I'm positive Houshi...oops I mean Miroku." She smiled.
"That's much better." He leaned over and cupped her face with his hands, placing a soft kiss on her lips. "Now we better get moving."
"Easy for you to say." Sango started limping towards the door. She looked like a little old lady. Miroku started to chuckle at her wobbling. "Nani?"
"Oh nothing.." He started laughing even more.
"Miroku, I swear I'll-"
"You'll what?" He raised his eyebrow; she smirked at him. "Oh come on now I was just..."
"Laughing.at me."
"Sango." He walked back over to her side, after he had backed away from her about to smack him when he was laughing at her. He scooped her up in his arms.
"Ahhh! Miroku! I can walk!" She wriggled and squirmed.
"It'll take you an hour just to get to the inn."
"We'll draw attention."
"Like we won't if a young woman as yourself is seen walking like an old crone?"
"Oi!"
"Just calm down and let me carry you." She sighed in defeat and nodded her head.
"Watch your hands, pal."
"Not in public I know, yes ma'am."

"Maybe we should go back to the palace?"
"Naw...they'll come."
"You're being very patient Inuyasha," Kagome said as she brushed her hair.
"A similar thing happened to me too...I almost lost you once." He looked up at her and she nodded in response. "I kinda know how it goes." She reached over and grabbed him. "What's this for?"
"Oh nothing, just a sudden urge." She was still holding him, when the monk and taijya walked up to them. "Oh hello!" Inuyasha was squirming to get out of the girl's death grip, but her squeeze only became tighter with his every movement.
"Were we interrupting something?" Miroku raised his eyebrow.
"Nope." Kagome smiled.
"Let go dammit!" Sango and Miroku were trying to hold in their laughter. She finally let him go. "God! I couldn't frickin' breathe woman!" She just stuck her tongue at him and then turned her attention to the other couple.
"So how are you feeling?" She asked concerned as Miroku sat Sango onto the floor gently.
"Better, still a little sore.."
"Are you up to wandering aimlessly around again?" Kagome questioned, knowing she'd get a rise out of a certain hanyou.
"We aren't walking around for no damn reason, Kagome! Naraku, remember?"
"I was only kidding Inuyasha." She said tugging at his ear softly.
"Why are you picking on me so much today?" He glared at the oblivious looking miko.
"I don't know. You're just too darn kawaii!" His eyes widened and blinked, blushing.
"Shhh! Not in front of them!" He said into her ear. "Keh!" He bounded outside into a tree. Miroku followed his lead and went out on the porch.
"What is with you today Kagome-chan? You're like overly happy."
"I don't know. Whenever he's around me anymore, I can't stop smiling. I mean when we do argue, I don't hold much a grudge for that long. It doesn't phase me like it did; I know he won't leave me." Kagome smiled. "Now what happened last night?" The young miko smirked and raised her eyebrow in curiousity.
"We...just talked and worked some things out."
"Uh huh...sure."
"Kagome-chan! Unlike you, I have some self control."
"That was mean!"
"I was only joking." Sango smiled.

"Inuyasha!" Miroku called up into a tree that housed a rather embarrassed inu.
"What do you want?"
"If I didn't know any better your woman is acting a little...hmmm..frisky?"
"Huh? Frisky? Ah! Shut up bouzu!" He said as he blushed once again.
"So how was last night?" A branch was immediately tossed at his head.
"Why do you need to know?"
"Come on we are men aren't we? Men tell about their relationships." Miroku stated matter-of-factly, smirking as he rubbed the little lump on his head.
"Keh! If you want to know...nothing. Now how about you two?" Inuyasha's curiosity was peaking.
"None of your damn business." Inuyasha cracked his knuckles. "Okay, okay. All we did was talk."
"Sure, a lech like you only talk?"
"How dare you think of me that way." Inuyasha sighed. "Well, Sango isn't in really good shape of traveling yet, demo she insists we go anyway."
"Good." Inuyasha jumped out of the tree and they headed back into the room. "We're going."
"Now?"
"Yes now!" Kagome got up, helping her friend in the process.
"Ano.Sango?"
"Hai Miroku?" Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other and smirked.
"You can use this if you want." He handed her his staff to use for support, "Demo I can always carry you." He held out his arms and wiggled his fingers. She glared.
"Thanks, but no thanks. I'll walk." Sango said through slightly gritted teeth.
"Well let's go; everyone ready?" Shippo had jumped onto Kagome's shoulder.
"I'm ready Kagome!" He squeaked. Kagome patted his head lovingly. The Inu-gumi resumed their journey once as they set off in search for jewel shards and Naraku.
