Chapter 9

~~~FlashBack~~~

"I've got you a gift Sango," Miroku said bluntly.

"A gift?" Sango was surprised for the second time tonight by Miroku's actions.

"Yes a gift," Miroku stood and puuled something from his pocket and kneel ed on one knee just as Kagome had told him too

when he had asked for her assistance. He hed the velvet box in front of him and opened it. Inside was a beautiful silver

ring with a large sapphire in the middle with diamonds on each side of it.

Sango gasped and reached out to touch it but recioled. She opened her mouth to talk but nothing came out.

Miroku understood her shock. He was too when Kagome came back from her time with it saying it was perfect for what he

wanted to do. "Sango, I love you. I don't care what you think, I love you. Only you and i always will always and forever.

You need not worry about the other women in other villages because they mean nothing to me and have ceased to catch my

interest because you are the only glory I see. The only beauty. Sango I want you to wed me so that I may finally feel the

warmth and happiness of holding you in my arms of waking to your face every morning and falling asleep to it everynight.

Please Sango make me the happiest man in the world. Please, Sango, will you marry me."

~~~~END~~~~

It had been one week before that Miroku had gave her the impossible task of deciding whether or not to marry him and she was

still contemplating the decision. It was almost impossible to say no, with such wonderful burst of love and then that

proposal. But like I said 'almost', there was still lingering doubt that Miroku was indeed ready to settle down and have a

family of his own.

That's how Kagome found Sango, deep in thought. Kagome sat down and hummed a happy melody and brushed her fingers through

her hair. There was a radiant smile played across her face and she turned to Sango, "I think you should say yes."

Kagome was the only person she had confided in , in a desprate attempt for advice and all she had gotten was a speech

from the younger woman about true love and how she should follow her heart. "Of course you do," Sango now turned to face her

'sister', "But Kagome I can not forget how often he has betrayed my trust in the past with his lechorous ways."

Kagome rolled her eyes, "Sango now your just making excuses."

Sango looked away and pointedly stared at the harizon and began to think of the words Miroku had said to her. They soothed

her in the day and tantalized at night. Sometimes when she thought of him while she lay awake at night she could almost

feel the warmth he would offer and provide. Beside her Kagome sayed dreamily. Sango smiled at her and at her obvious

happiness to have the man she loved, if only she could have the joy of basking in the glory of her loves arms. "So how

are you and Inuyasha doing?"

Kagome was startled by the sudden break in silence and even more so by the question. Blushing she said, "We were going

to go back to my time tommorrow to tell my family, spend a few days there and come back." Kagome hesistated, "We are

going to get a house in the village." Sango nodded to all this. "Sango?"

Sango turned to her friend's somber face. "Kagome what? What is it."

"Sango, Inuyasha doens't know it yet and he'll be absolutely furious that he wasn't first to know, but Sango your like

my sister and I'll tell you anything before I tell Inu." Sango smiled at the nickname and nodded Kagome to continue.

"Well Sango..." She smiled even more brightly, "SANGO I'M PREGNANT!!!!" She squeeled and lept into Sango's arms and

Sango held her tightly luaghing with the miko.

When they had settled down Sango sat on knees in excitement. "Pregnant! Ohmigosh Kagome I'm so happy for you! How do

you know? How does Inuyasha NOT know? What with that nose of his."

Kagome smiled, "Well i haven't been using any protects," She dropped her vioce lower, "And Inuyasha refuses to." Her

vioce returning to normal began to explain about the pregnacy test Kaeda had given her which consisted of the

wierdest herbal concoctions. "And has for Inuyasha not being able to tell....well look at the moon."

Sango did so and smiled, "Well are you going to tell him anytime soon??"

Kagome blushed, "i was actually going to go tell him right now." After shooing Kagome off Sango fell back into

her silence until she was jioned by Miroku.

"Sango.." He began but was cut off by Sango.

"Aren't the stars so beautiful tonight? They are shining so bright and it all so mystifing." Sango stared of to the stars

and wished to the gods they would give her streghth. She sighed heavily, "Miroku I...."

"Sango I know you love me....What is it you fear?...."Miroku became more forceful and grabbed her by the shoulders and

gave her a breif shake. "Tell me Sango why are you afraid to marry me?"

Sango raised her chin indignantly, "The only thing I'm afraid of are your manners and that hand of yours."

Miroku released her, "So this is how it is to be between us Sango? Do I truly disgust you that much." Miroku picked up her

Katana and mut it to his throat. "Sango if you truly do not love and then I fear there is nothing more for me to live for

and would rather die than have to gaze upon your face any longer knowing I will never have you."

Sango bit her lip, what was he doing? He's bluffing....she felt an uneasyness in her stomach....she hoped. "Miroku stop

this nonsense right now and give me my katana."

"No Sango my love there is nothing left for me in this world."

"What of Kagome and Inuyasha and Shippo...They need you!" This had now become a war of deperation. He can't

do this to me is he really willing to render is life for my sake. He closed his eyes and pressed the cold steel

harder against his neck and a thin red line appeared and a single drop of blood traveled down his neck. She could

take no more. Something in her heart gave.... "Miroku STOP IT PLEASE." The tears spilled freely over her face.

"Please stop it now. I'll marry you, I'll do anything you want but please stop it."

He dropped the sword and opened her arms as she ran into them. She sobbed into his chest as he stroked her back. "Do you

say this because you love me or because you do not wish me to give up my life."

She looked up at him with a tear srteaked face, "I love you you stupid man." She began to whipe the tears from her face,

"If you ever do that again I'll kill you myself."

Mirkou smiled and kissed her. It was a passionate, suductive kiss. Sango slanted her mouth over his and opened her mouth

and let his tounge in to play. Her hands came to cheeks and her thumbs carressed his rough jaw. His hands wandered over her

back and then embraced her wiast and pulled her closer. He brought his head up and looked deep into her eyes. Agianst her

lips he whisper, "I believe you would," Then they kissed again.

~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~

Kagome walked through the trees and called to him, "INUYASHA!!!".......................Nothing. She stopped and put her

hands on her hips. Well where could he have gone off to. Suddenly she was swept up and soring above the trees her urge to

scream was queeled when she turned to see her lover smiling down at her with those sudictive gold orbs. She began a pretend

struggle and really tried to be angry with him. "Where have you been I've been looking for you for at least half and hour."

They landed in a large sucluded tree that gave them all the privacy their ususal clearing didn't. "I know." Inuyasha

smirked, "I was following you wench."

Kagome smiled at the old insult and gave him a glare that didn't last long because of the arousing nibbling on her neck and

sudctive caress on her breast. She moaning in aganising pleasure. Wait I have to tell Inuyasha about the baby. "Inuyasha..."

He still nibbled, she giggled and shoved at him, "INUYASHA! Listen...."

"What," he growled impatiently. Then there was bright light that emmitted from him as the sun began to set. Kagome shielded

her eyes and when she opened them again his golden eyes were gone and his long silver hair was replace with shiny ebony.

Disgusted with himself he turned away from her.

Kagome rolled her eyes at him and took his chin in her hand and forced him to look at her, she smiled, "You know you look

just as suductive as you do when your half demon." She kissed him on the cheek and sat back only to be pulled back into his

lap and ravished her....

Sometime later Kagome lay in Inuyasha's arms on the oversized tree branch. She sniggled closer to his chest and smiled at

his scent, "You know Inuyasha I'm glad you didn't notice before it's so much better that I get to tell you myself."

Confused Inuyasha shifted her so that she was ontop of him and looking down at him. "What are you talking about Kagome?"

He held her tighter and closer to him afriad of what she might say.

Kagome blushed and hid her face in his chest, "Well Inuyasha, what would you like.....a boy or a girl?"

Startled at first Inuyasha lifted Kagome's head, "Are you...?"

She nodded and a large luaghter rumbled as inuyasha sat up swinging Kagome into his lap. She let out a relieved

breath she was holding. Inuasha held her tighter than ever and pressed his lips to hers, "I love you." He whispered

in her ear.

Kagome smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, "I love you more."

Inuyasha slowly kissed her in a slow suductive....and arousing kiss, "That's Impossible," his raw husky vioce replied.
