Kagome, Sango, Kirara, and Shippo took an extra long while to get back to camp. Shippo was running around working off pent up energy while staying close to the little group.

Kagome sighed bitterly and she thought about what Sango said, she felt her heart being ripped in two directions, and with the stress of keeping InuYasha from being depressed forever, Sango from joining her brother, and being a surrogate mother to Shippo she was surprised that she didn't go off the deep end. 'Oh what do I do?' she thought having tears from stress jump to her eyes. 'I have my mother and my original life at home....but here' she smiled 'I have friends and another family, and maybe.......just maybe........a love' she couldn't help but smile as she thought of the last word 'love' such a beautiful and deadly thing, you can't have love without trust and you cant have trust without love. 'was that were Kikyo and InuYasha lost? Not trusting another and easily jump to conclusions?'. She stared at the wet towels wrapped around her arms and thought hard 'do I trust InuYasha?' she shook her head in shock 'of course I do! I let him hold my life in his hands along with my heart! How could I think about that!'

'But dose he trust you?' said a little evil voice in her head.

'........yes......'

'Or do you only think that?' it said again getting sly.

'Alright shut up! I'm going off the deep end talking to myself!'

They approached camp and Miroku rose to meet them watching Sango's face intently.

"Are you both ok? No problems?"

"Yes Houshi-sama ((monk)) of course" said Sango in a raspy sad voice, but a smile graced her lips though her eyes did not rise to it.

"Sango?......." Miroku said taking a step to her.

"Where's InuYasha?" Kagome asked glancing around.

"We had a little argument and I think I got through to him, he's off in some tree" he said, the smallest of anger in his voice.

"What did you fight about?" said Sango looking at Miroku through narrowed eyes.

"H-Hey I had a reason! A very good one at that! He was getting on my nerves from all the brooding and being a blind bat" he said eyes getting wide starting to re-coil from Sango.

"MIROKU I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!" Kagome yelled "HE HAS A RIGHT TO BROOD AND MOURN, HE LOST SOMEONE HE CARED FOR!"

This time Miroku did recoil....and even cower.

"He dose Miroku" said Sango keeping her voice from rising and restraining her hand from grabbing her hiraikotsu ((boomerang)).

"I'm going to go find him.....there is some food for you guys in my back- pack" she said to Sango and sending a death glare to Miroku.

"Alright Kagome-Chan, don't you worry about that" Sango said her eyes still on the monk.

She nodded and went in the direction that Miroku pointed in.

*~*~*

'Here she comes' InuYasha thought from his tree, he was napping and waiting for Kagome, wanting to talk to her in private.

"InuYasha?" Kagome called out her bow and quiver of arrows hanging off her shoulder as she stumbled her way thorough the woods into a clearing scouring the tree tops and spotted the red.

He stood up and jumped out of the tree looking at Kagome across the twenty yards of land separating them, she immediately stepped forward.

"Oh! Im so glad I found you! Are you ok? I know Miroku is a perverted jerk of a monk but please come back, it isn't his fault he's just stressed like the rest of- Kagome" InuYasha interrupted her talk and started walking towards her, his eyes glued to the chestnut orbs that are her eyes. ((a/n: I looked carefully at all the pictures and I see brown folks)) as he said her name, it wasn't a question, it wasn't a call of worry, it was just her name and it warmed her heart for no reason.

"InuYasha" she said back taking two steps forward, her eyes drawn to his own dream-like orbs. Her heart pounded like a base drum, her bow and quiver of arrows slipped from her shoulders as she suddenly felt herself freeze 'He's.....he's so intense!'.

"Kagome.......what do you see when you look at me" he said, it was no question....it was a request.

"I see you....InuYasha.....the only man whose protected me so much......the one I trust with my life" she said smiling faintly.

"Also a filthy Hanyou ((half-demon)) right?" he said a little harshly.

"NO......not at all....I've told you this so many times InuYasha......what you are dose not make my heart choose InuYasha......its you" she said going right up to him a foot separating them.

"Why doesn't that matter?!" he said fiercely his nose a centimeter to from her own.

"Because I don't care who you father or mother were InuYasha, I don't care how I'd look with you, I only care that some how we hold feelings for another" she said her eyes widening as she realized what she said out loud. She stepped back and turned, wanting to run away to the woods, to run away from a heart break. But before she could......he grabbed her wrist and forced her to look into his face.

"You mean that?" he said and a low, slightly hopeful voice.

"Yes......" she whispered gently her heart pounding so hard she wondered if InuYasha could hear it.

He stared at her in disbelief......she wanted him like this....she didn't care of what his blood was...she wasn't ashamed. She even liked him and wanted him to be a Hanyou ((as seen in movie two)).

"Kagome" he whispered gently his own heart pounding, he closed the space, closing his eyes as he leaned down and collided his lips with her own, he felt her shock melt into a returning kiss.

It felt no different from the time she kissed him to save him from being a full demon, he felt his love fill the kiss, he hugged her slightly. Needing to breathe they separated, Kagome smiled at him and blushed at the same time, her eyes glowing with all the feelings she kept from surfacing, her heart still pounding. He pulled her in a warm embrace which Kagome melted in, no words were spoken, but there wasn't need for any, they both knew what happened, and were both happy with it.........

InuYasha chose Kagome.

*~*~*

The fire crackled merrily as Sango accepted her bowl of oriental noodle soup from Kagome's era Miroku sat next to her, his staff leaning against the tree not to far away. He started eating though Sango could see his eyes dart at her every five seconds. Shippo and Kirara were curling up next to the fire, Shippo fighting to stay awake though losing badly. Sango shifted a little so she could let her head lean on his shoulder ((A/n: actually I have a good picture of that from episode 132 if anyone wishes to see it just say so in you review)).

"What do we do know Miroku?" Sango asked staring at the crackling flames.

"Obviously go back to Kaede's village" he said "after that who knows what?"

"I know..." Sango said smiling faintly after all how could she forget promising to bear his children?

She could tell he was smiling, after all It was probably the best and happiest day they had while they were searching, and it was marriage that the couple was looking forward too. Especially Sango, who lost all of her family and friends thought for the longest time that she wasn't going to be doing some of the normal things that any girl would look forward to. Then again.....marrying a perverted monk wasn't exactly what you call normal, but she was happy with that and had no complaints.

"are you ok Sango?" Miroku asked silently and out of worry.

She nodded her head "I do feel heart ache for his death.....but I guess dieing is better than having memories that he dose".

Miroku remained silent, not sure how to comment, being the only child, he never knew how attached Sango was to her little brother.

"Thank-you Miroku" Sango said suddenly, intertwining her fingers with his.

"For what?" he said while making a smile evident in his voice.

"For everything, for staying with me the day that Kohaku died, and being the reason I should live".

He smiled and kissed her sweetly on the lips making her eyes gain some old fire.

"Anytime"
