Chapter 33:
"Sango?" Miroku said as he tried to get up. He managed to sit up; her eyes fluttered open.
"Miroku, why are you moving around? Hmmm? You'll reopen that wound of yours." She poked him only slightly and he winced. "Yup, I knew you were still hurting. Now lay back down so I can re-bandage it."
"Hai, love." He obeyed and laid down. She removed his robe and undid the bandage.
"It's healing already. That's good." She smiled as she softly kissed his lips and pulled back.
"You're teasing me woman. Damn of all the times to get hurt. Here we are alone.."
"Uh huh. You and your recklessness. I had to come and save you. You're getting rusty there Miroku." She chuckled. He playfully grabbed her arm and pulled her to him. "Where is this strength coming from?"
"My heart." He said simply as he took her lips.
"Miroku, I love you."
"I love you too my Sango."
"Now we really need to bandage that wound. So easily distracted." She sighed as she placed the already medicated cloth on the wound.
"Arigato." He said when she finished. "Where did the kitsune and neko go?"
"Oh they headed out with Kaede this morning to treat some villagers."
"Ano..."
"Hai?"
"I'm a little hungry." He smiled.
"Me too, so?" She smirked.
"So? Cook me something."
"Who died and made you King? I'm not your little housewife yet, mister." She said as she stood up, placing her hand on her hip. Miroku studied her curves. "What are you looking at?" Sango said, raising her eyebrow at his satisfied smile. "Nani?"
"Oh, I've just assessed that your hips will bear me a healthy child." She rolled her eyes.
"You've said that to many women. Why should I believe you, hm?"
"I lied to them; I was being a little...well..desperate."
"A little?" She laughed. "Alright, I'll cook you some rice and fish. How's that?"
"Just fine." He smiled.

"It's right over there Inuyasha." Kagome pointed to the large building.
"That huge thing with way too many people in it? I'm not going in there!"
"You said you would, Inuyasha." They had stopped right in front of the entrance. "Onegai? For me?" That was it; he caved in.
"Oh alright, but not for too long." She smiled happily and took his hand, half-dragging him through the double doors. His eyes widened at the two-story, store-filled building. "Whoa." He whispered; Kagome only smiled as she led him to a clothing shop.
"Ok, let's get this over with, ne?" Like a curious three year old, Inuyasha gawked at all the hanging clothes and salespeople, who in turn gave him a funny look. Kagome was running around grabbing various shirts and jeans, holding them up to her mate's waist.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Shhh! I'm only trying to figure out your size, geez. Good, this one seems to be perfect."
"What's with that material?"
"It's denim; it's a heavy fabric. They're very comfortable." The jeans she had picked out were quite baggy. Inuyasha looked around the store at other teenage boys who were wearing them.
"Keh!" He shrugged his shoulders.
"Let's go try them on. Come."
"I'm not a dog." He narrowed his eyes.
"Wanna bet? Sit boy." Inuyasha landed face first into the thin carpeted floor. The customers and salespeople all gasped and came up to ask if he was alright. Inuyasha was cursing into the ground. "Oh he's fine. He just tripped." Kagome waved her hands in front of her face. Inuyasha got up grudgingly. "Will you behave now?"
"Feh." She raised her eyebrow and was about to say the word again. "Okay, okay." She took his hand in hers and patted it lovingly.
"Gomen. I had to; you would have never listened to me. Okay let's try these on." Kagome drug him over to the fitting room. She realized that Inuyasha would need help with changing. Kagome placed the shirts and pants on the hangers. "Okay, get in here." He followed and she shut the door. "Strip."
"NANI?!"
"Hahaha...take off that thing and get into these." She held up the baggy jeans. "Oh that reminds me." She dove out of the room and came back in holding some boys' unmentionables.
"What are those?"
"Underwear for you."
"Eh?"
"Loincloths?"
"Oh." He finally understood.
"Go ahead, put the pants on at least, oh and this shirt." It was a simple red tee(of course). She turned around. He undid his kimono and put the pants on, not sure of how to button them, he tapped her shoulder.
"Could you help me with this." She turned around and looked down, giggling.
"Sure. Okay all you do is put the button through the hole and then take this tab and zip it up." She did it for him, "Simple, ne?" He then took the tee-shirt and pulled it over his head. Kagome started to stare at the handsome silver-haired hottie.
"Nani? Does it look okay?"
"Yup." She gulped as she sweated. "Okay, I'll go and you can try on the rest." He nodded and didn't quite understand her behavior. Her scent had changed slightly, in a good way.
"She owes me big time, demo I have to admit this is kinda badass." He smirked in the mirror. 'MAN DOES HE LOOK SEXY!' Kagome's mind screamed. Her face was flushed. "Kagome, I'm done." He came out wearing his robe.
"So.so.what fits..the best?"
"What's wrong with you?"
"N-nothing, nothing at all. So what fits?" He handed her two pairs of jeans, the baggy ones, and a couple tee-shirts. She also had a lot of mens' underwear as well. "Okay let me pay for this." Kagome took the bundle of clothes and paid for them. Bags in hand, they headed out the door of the store.
"Kagome?"
"Hmm?"
"There is something wrong, isn't there?"
"Eh? No there isn't." He rolled his eyes.
"Mates shouldn't hide things from one another." Kagome sighed and dropped her gaze to the ground, her face growing red.
"I..I...You looked absolutely drop dead gorgeous in that outfit." Her pulse became quicker and he placed his arm protectively around her waist.
"Oh really, is that why your scent became more intense?"
"Nani?"
"I can tell when you're afraid, in pain, or excited Kagome. Nothing gets past me." He smirked.
"Oh, so no privacy for me anymore?" She laughed.
"Actually I could always sense you."
"Wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Shall we hurry home?" She smiled.
"You owe me still, remember?"
"Oh, I haven't forgotten Inuyasha." She kissed his nose and he growled playfully into her ear. As they passed a shop, Kagome noticed a beautiful diamond ring and she placed her nose to the glass. "Oh how pretty."
"Nani?"
"That ring. It's an engagement ring."
"A what?"
"When two people love each other, the man gives the woman a ring such as this one and he promises he will marry her."
"Oh really?" He glared at the ring, knowing full well Kagome more than likely wanted to get married someday. It was so much simpler the demon way though. They would mate with their female and she'd be his, but humans had to make it a lot more difficult with a ceremony and all. 'Maybe someday; I promise Kagome.' "Well, we've wasted too much time." His stomach gurgled. Kagome smiled.
"You're hungry?" He nodded his head and held his stomach. "Well let's go home." They finally reached the exit and Inuyasha grabbed the girl, hopping onto the roof of a nearby building. She screamed bloody murder, not expecting him to it so quickly.
"Ow! My ears!"
"You didn't have to pick me up so quickly! You scared me!"
"Why?"
"I thought you'd drop me."
"Kagome, I would never let you fall. Don't you trust me?"
"Of course. It just startled me that's all. Warn me ahead of time before you do that okay?"
"Keh! Wimp."
"Oi! If I weren't on your back right now I would say the word." She glared daggers at the back of his silver head.
"We're here."
"That was fast. Oh I know you're just really hungry." He growled teasingly as he set her down. The girl and hanyou trudged into the house and the aroma of take-out ramen greeted their noses.
"Ramen!" Inuyasha yelled with joy.
"Inuyasha, calm down, mama might be sleeping you know. Ano?"
"Hmmm?"
"Could you, you know change into the outfit? I wanna show you off to mama."
"No you don't."
"Huh?"
"You just want to see me in it again." Kagome blushed and then pushed him up the stairs into her room, slamming the door shut behind her. 'How did he know?' She giggled.
