Disclaimer: Okay, I dun own any of these characters, I'm borrowing them, and I promised that I'd return them.

Policy on Flamers: Give me Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease, and I shall give you the same. If you don't, I know lots of assassins, thieves, demons, and goddesses, that would love to hurt you if I told them you flamed ^_^

Chapter 8: Painful Love
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You don't feel! All women are to you are baby-making machines! Well women have feelings too, you know! They hurt and they love and they hate!" She struggled to get out of his grasp, but he was too strong.
"So...women can, but I can't?" He asked, tilting her face up so he could stare down into her stormy grey eyes.
"You ask every woman in a eight mile radius of where you stand if they'll have your child...every woman except me! Am I that different because I'm a demon hunter?! Do you not see me as a woman?!" She felt her emotions surfacing, no matter how hard she tried to keep them down. "I'm not pretty to you, I'm just another one of those stupid...stupid...demon hunters to you-!"
Miroku let out a soft growl in the middle of her speach and grabbed her face. Finally, when she had infuriated him to the point where he couldn't think, didn't want to think, he pulled her in close, crushing her lips against his in a passionate kiss that made his body relax.
Finally...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango let out an eep, her eyes going as wide as saucers. He's kissing me?! Me...?! She was so shocked, she couldn't move, she didn't respond, but she didn't pull away either. She just stood there, too shocked to really know what was going on.
Miroku sighed against her lips, pulling away partially, resting his forehead against hers. "Sango..." He whispered, his voice husky, his eyes gentle. He stared deeply into her shocked eyes, his breathing ragged. "I see you as alot more than a woman, Sango..." He whispered, gently caressing her hair away with the back of his hand.
She closed her eyes, trying to think. He sounded so sincere. He wasn't trying to coerce her, but he was speaking to her like she had always wanted to be spoken to. To think it was that pervered Houshi rather than some man from the village shocked her. Her hands shook slightly and she clenched them into fists at her sides.
She felt him embraceing her and his lips were brushing against her ear as he whispered sweet words in her ears that made her heart thunder in her chest. She had to stop this. She had to put a stop to this NOW. She felt her breath growing rapid and lifted her hands, quickly shoving him away.
He kept his hands on her shoulders, then pulled her in for another kiss, he moved slower this time, but she knew that if he kissed her, she wouldn't be able to push him away again. She cared to much.
So she slapped him.
Hard.
Miroku staggered backwards under the blow, staring at her in shock. "S- Sango?"
"Never again..." She warned. "Don't ever touch me again..."
Pain raced through him. "But-"
"Never again."
He felt his eyes itch and realized that tears were forming. He lifted his hand to his face and looked down. He caressed the place she'd hit him carefully, his eyes hidden from her view. "Very well, Sango-s-sama..." He turned slowly and walked into the forest, without looking back.
Sango watched him go, her face pained. She hadn't wanted to do that, but he wouldn't back away! She looked down at the hand she'd hit him with, her eyes wide with confusion. She didn't know what to do! She was so confused!
Without a word, she followed after Kagome and Inuyasha, her hands shaking, her breathing still hard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miroku sat underneath the Go Shimboku tree, his face lowered, his hands digging into the dirt on either side of him. He stared into nothing, trying to relive the precious moment that he'd had with Sango. The moment he'd have to accept as being the only moment he would ever share with her.
He raised a hand, cluthing the hair at the front of his head. "Sango..." He whispered, his voice ragged from obvious sobs. He heard soft footsteps and closed his eyes tightly, glad that it was getting dark. "Go away." He said softly.
"Oi, Bozu." The crass voice belonged to none other than Inuyasha.
"Leave me alone."
Inuyasha glared down at the houshi. "Are you going to sulk out here all day? Kagome's wondering what happened to you." He frowned deeply. "But if you're going to just sit out here and be a child, fine." He turned, glancing back, knowing that would rile up the houshi.
He heard the soft clack of Miroku's rosary and turned halfway, looking at the houshi. Miroku was standing now, his face lowered.
"You have no right to call me a child, when you're as much of one as I am." Miroku looked up, displaying his anger, grief and pain in the tears that flowed freely down his face. He hadn't cried since his father died. He thought he'd forgotten how to. He clenched his hands into fists, glaring at Inuyasha in anger.
Inuyasha glared back. "Maybe I am. But at least I'm not afraid to tell the girl I love how I feel." He growled, his eyes reflecting the light of the slender cresent of moon. He turned and walked back towards the village.
"IT'S NOT THAT EASY!"
Inuyasha paused, seeing the Houshi gripping his cursed hand tightly. He remained silent.
"It's never going to be that easy..." Miroku released the hand and headed back towards the village, walking past Inuyasha.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome saw Sango staring out the window into the darkness and noticed a frown on her face. "Sango-chan? Daijoubu?"
"Hm..." The girl paused. "No, I'm not..." She sighed, looking towards Kagome, her face confused. "Have you ever been afraid to love someone?" She asked softly.
"Aa..." Kagome smiled. "I was afraid to love Inuyasha in the beginning." She wrapped her arms around her knees, staring into nothing. "I was afraid that if I loved him, I would get my heart broken because of Kikyou..." A wistful expression passed over her face. "But now I know that Inuyasha comes back to me..."
Sango stared at the girl enviously. "I am having such a problem..."
The younger girl looked over in suprise. "You mean Miroku-sama?" She questioned, knowing the pair felt something for each other, even though they wouldn't show it.
"I'm afraid to love him...because I'm afraid that if he dies...I'll get hurt..." Sango wiped her eyes with the sleeve of her kimono. "I've already hurt so much...I don't want him to die, Kagome...I'm scared to love him because I don't want him to hurt me..."
Kagome's eyes widened and she immediately reached out to embrace Sango. Sango put her arms around Kagome, and immediately began to sob. Only moments later, Inuyasha and Miroku came in.
Miroku looked away, his face ashamed and went to the corner, sitting down, looking away. Inuyasha leaned against the wall, looking away from the pair as well. His eyes fell upon Miroku, who obviously looked upset, but wasn't going to do anything to comfort Sango.
Kagome stroked her back. "Oh, Sango-chan, what's wrong?" She fought her own tears when she heard the response.
"Kagome-chan...he kissed me..." She whispered into Kagome's ear so softly, Inuyasha barely heard it over the girls heart-wrenching sobs.
When Sango was all cried out, Kagome lay her against a futon, watching her sleep. She looked towards Inuyasha and found him staring at her. She watched him glance towards the door leading out and smiled, nodding her ascent. She stood, and walked towards the door.
He held it out of the way for her, resting his hand on the small of her back as they stole outside. They walked in silence for awhile, him watching her, her staring at the ground lost in thought.
She sighed a bit, shaking her head. What a perdicament they were all in. She was in love with a demon from another time, Sango was in love with a lecherous priest with a curse. She stared down at Inuyasha's clawed hand and smiled slightly, reaching over and wrapping her hand around his. She moved a step closer to him , resting her head on his shoulder.
Inuyasha looked down at her abruptly, suprised. This was the most affection she'd shown for him in public. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze, sniffing her hair as she straightened. "Is Sango alright?" He asked softly as they reached the bridge.
Kagome leaned against the rail, looking over the rippling waters. "Yes...She'll be okay..." She looked over at Inuyasha, smiling. "She's afraid to love him. I feel so bad for them, and I feel selfish. I always used to think about how bad my situation was, but theirs is worse than mine..."
Inuyasha turned towards her, looking at her profile. "Miroku loves her, too, but he's afraid to tell her. It's got something to do with his curse...but Kagome, Sango was not the only one to cry tonight. Miroku was crying when I found him."
Kagome turned towards him, looking up into his bright golden eyes. "I guess we all cry for the one's we love." She said, smiling, teasing gently.
He stroked her cheek with a sweet caress. "Kagome...about that..." He looked away.
Pain filled Kagome quickly. He was lying...he only said it because he was so worried...She clutched the rail tightly, trying to sturdy herself for the news.
"I said I loved you..." He began tentatively. "I love you..." He turned his eyes towards her. "But you never responded..." He looked back away. "I don't want to pressure you, but if you don't love me...please tell me now."
She stared at him in shock. "Oh, god, Inuyasha..." She took two steps, then put her arms around him, buring her face into his chest.
He gasped softly as her arms stole around his waist, and he stood stiffly for a moment, till his arms relaxed and he put them around her shoulders. He sighed softly, giving her a tender squeeze. "Kagome...?" He whispered. "I need to know... tanomu..."
She lifted her tear-filled eyes to look up at his face. "Oh, Inuyasha..." She whispered, cupping his face in her tiny hand. She watched as he lifted his hand to curl around hers. His eyes closed and she could tell he was steadying himself in case she gave a negative answer. "Itsumo..." She murmered.
She watched his eyes snap open and smiled up at him. "You are the only one I ever loved...You will always be the most important thing in the world to me..." She smiled up into those passionate golden eyes, seeing the joy in them. He picked her up and held her against him in a passionate embrace, his hands applying an almost bruising pressure to her soft skin.
She winced a bit, but smiled, embracing him equally as tightly. "I love you, Inuyasha. Forever, and no matter where I am, you are the only one in my heart..."
He choked softly on a sob, and set her on her feet, catching her face between his hands and pressing a tenderly passionate kiss to her lips. Her lips came to life beneath his and he sighed heavily.
Like all first kisses, her's was clumsy, but she could sense Inuyasha didn't mind. In fact, she sensed a surge of masculine pride in him for being her first kiss. She smiled, pulling back for air and looking into his beautiful golden eyes. "Inuyasha..."
He rested a finger against her lips, hushing her. "Moments never last long..." He murmered. "Let's make this longer than just a moment..." His voice caught slightly. "If it is what you want...we could make this forever..."
She lowered her eyes. She wasn't sure how to respond to such a statement. So she pressed herself onto her tip-toes and kissed him again. She knew he accepted her answer as this when he moved his hands into her hair, holding her head tighter to his.
He combed her hair with his hands, letting the ebony silk slip through his claws. Slowly, he ran his hands down her neck to her shoulders, then down to her back, pressing her whole body firmly against his. This was only her second kiss. Yet, he knew that he would do everything in his power to make her remember ever kiss they shared, every embrace, every touch.
As the fire of the kiss slowly died, all that was left was tenderness. Kagome moved her lips from his, nuzzling his neck with her face. She inhaled deeply, sighing. "Suki daze..." She murmered, smiling.
He stroaked her back, nuzzling her neck in return. "Aa..." He agreed, just holding her. "I love you too..." A genuine smile passed over his lips. "I love you, my Kagome..."
