Now on with the story~~~~ Enjoy!!!!!
Chapter 2 ~~ Moving Ahead
The sound of the water running through the stream was very soothing to Sango, as she and Miroku sat on the flat rocks next to the small bank.
Miroku watched the moon shine down on Sango's silky long hair and beautiful soft looking face. *How good it would feel to just lightly run his hand down to her neck and pull her forward for a very long kiss ~ No No No! I need to do this right * Miroku scolded himself.
"Lady Sango?" Miroku asked clearing his throat.
Sango looked up from the stream to face Miroku and nodded while saying "um huh" letting him know he had her attention.
Miroku was unsure of where to begin, so he decided to start off with a basic fact and go from there. Nervously he said " We have known each other for a little over three years." Sango nodded in agreement once again, Miroku continued "In that time we have been through a lot together and have all grown close, we have also learned a lot about one another, some good, some bad, but I feel we are all worthy and honorable." he waited for Sango to make a comment, hoping it would be a favorable one.
"I will agree Houshi-sama." Sango said "Although some of us could use a few more manners." she added, not quite sure where all this was going, but unable to stop herself from hoping.
Miroku breathed a small sigh of relief at her comment, and gained the courage to go ahead.
"During this time I have grown quite fond of you Lovely Sango and I could only wish that you've grown half as fond of me." he held his breath waiting for her next comment hoping it would be a positive one.
"Yes Houshi-sama, I've grown fond of you as well." she replied a little shakily .
Miroku now let out the breath that he was holding and reached for Sango's hand, he took her small hand between both of his large ones, he then looked straight into her beautiful brown eyes and asked " My Lovely Sango, would you do me the honor of being my one and only, my wife?" he asked with a hopeful smile.
As she looked into his eyes, she could see that he did indeed care deeply. Sure of his love for her and sure of hers for him, she smiled slowly and gave him the only possible answer she could,
"Yes, Houshi-sama, I will become your wife on one condition." she stated.
"Anything you desire, my sweet Sango." Miroku answered, ready to do anything and scooting up a little closer.
"You must promise me there will be no more groping of any women." she stated firmly
Scooting closer still, Miroku answered with a very large smile on his handsome face. "With you as mine, My Lovely Sango, there are no other women." scooting in even closer, Miroku went for the next big question " Now shall we seal the del with a kiss?" hope once again lighting up his handsome features.
Shyly Sango nodded and licked her lips, this drew Miroku's attention to those rosy lips and made them even more appealing.
Slowly he leaned forward with his lips just above hers, he released her hands to run his hand lightly down her face to rest on her neck and softly pull her forward until their lips touched lightly. Sango put both hands against Miroku's chest to steady herself. Slowly the pressure of their lips increased as the kiss deepened. All to soon for both the kiss ended. Miroku put his arms around Sango's waist and looked into her eyes.
"A re you ready to go back to camp?" he asked
"No, I like to stay here a little longer." she said putting her arms around him.
He took her hand and led her to the edge of the bank and sat down pulling her with him, putting one arm around her. Sango leaned her head over on his shoulder and they sat there quietly enjoying the night around them together.

Kagome gently lay Shippo on her sleeping bag and covered him with the top part. Quietly she moved away from Shippo to the bottom of the tree that Inuyasha was sitting in.
"Inuyasha" she said softly
"Yeah" came his short reply
"Do you think Sango and Miroku are ok?" she asked, Inuyasha could hear the worry in her voice.
"Yeah, I'm sure they are fine, maybe you should get some rest now." he replied trying to ease her mind.
"They have been gone a long time, what if they are lost or have run into trouble?" she said with her voice rising.
"I don't sense anything, besides they are both adults. Now go to sleep, tomorrow will be a busy day." Inuyasha said, hoping she would just go to bed, he didn't want to tell her about the conversation that he and Miroku had earlier.
"Ok, good night, Inuyasha" Kagome said as she headed off to bed, deciding to trust what Inuyasha said.
"Goodnight Kagome" Inuyasha said, staring up at the moon once more.
Laying down as quietly as possible, Kagome got as comfortable as the sleeping bag and Shippo would let her. Trying to go to sleep she once again started worrying over Sota's birthday and how she was going to ask him. I could always go for the standard Sit, that would give me enough time to get down the well, but he would only come after me. Yawning Kagome turned over for the third time.
Inuyasha sat on the branch above Kagome,and he smelled her nervousness once again* What was making Kagome so nervous? Somehow he felt like it had something to do with him~ There she goes again tossing and turning, if she keeps that up she is going to wake up the brat * jumping down off his branch, Inuyasha moved over to Kagome, bending down next to her he reached over slowly and very gently shook her shoulder, Kagome opened her eyes quickly and looked over at him.
"Inuyasha" Kagome questioned
"You are gonna wake up the brat if you don't quit tossing and turning. What is wrong with you?" Inuyasha asked
"Oh..I guess I can't get comfortable." she replied a little unsure.
"What are you so nervous about?" he asked, when her answer didn't satisfy him.
Kagome couldn't think clearly or fast enough with him so close, she moved getting up and heading towards the fire, sitting down and sighing softly. Inuyasha sat down as well, across from Kagome.
"What is it Kagome?" Inuyasha asked again, getting more upset by the minute.
Kagome was unsure of how to answer him, but she could tell he was getting impatient.
"Well I'm not quite sure how to tell you ." she said shyly looking up from the fire at him.
Now he was starting to feel uneasy. *Why would she be nervous about telling him~~ Unless it had something to do with her going back to her time already.* looking straight at her, Inuyasha asked "Does this have anything to do with you going back to your time already?" he heard a slight intake of breath from her, then he knew he had hit on something.
Kagome was a little shocked at how quickly he had guessed.
"Well actually it does-" Kagome started before she was interrupted by Inuyasha.
"No Wench" he said gruffly "You just got back a few days ago, you can't have another test already." he complained
"No I don't have a test, but it's just as important, it's Sota's fourteenth birthday, and I need to be there." she replied clearly
"He'll get over it, you need to be here helping to find the shards. He replied, Folding his arms in front of his chest.
"That's mean Inuyasha, he is my brother and I want to be there for him, It wont take long, then I'll come back and we can continue hunting shards." Kagome said leaning forward with her fingers crossed for luck.
"No, then we will miss another day of hunting for shards, and for what a bunch of cake and games." Inuyasha said remembering Sota's last birthday party.
"He's not doing that stuff this year, he's just having some friends stay over and play video games. Mom will probably have a cake, beside I need more supplies." she said hopefully
Inuyasha thought about what she had just said, and decided maybe it wouldn't hurt for just a couple of hours. After all he wouldn't want her to run out of ramen.
"We can discuss it tomorrow when we get back to Kaede's, but now we need to get some rest ." he said, standing up and moving away from the fire and Kagome. " You should rest now" he said over his shoulder jumping into the tree.
Kagome gave up and went to bed. Hopefully tomorrow he would change his mind, yeah and pigs would fly. She smiled as she fell asleep.
~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As the sun came up everyone slowly started to awaken. Inuyasha was already stoking the fire from the night before. Miroku walked over and sat behind the hanyou still about half asleep.
"I take it all went well?" Inuyasha asked, glancing over is shoulder at the monk.
"Very well indeed." Miroku responded with the largest smile Inuyasha had ever seen him wear. Just for a second he was jealous of the monk and his happiness.
"Congratulations monk, treat her well or you will deal with me." Inuyasha said as he got his knees and backed away from the fire to sit beside Miroku.
"You know you should tell Lady Kagome how you feel as well, it is a peaceful feeling." Miroku said
"Monk, you don't know what you are talking about." Inuyasha growled annoyed.
"Hey Inuyasha, what's your problem already this morning?" Shippo asked coming over to sit by the fire with them.
Soon Sango and Kagome joined the group by the fire. Miroku stood up and slowly walked over to Sango, taking her hand in his, he said, "Good morning my dear Sango."and then he gent lifted her hand and lightly touched it with his lips, causing a shiver to go through her.
Bending her head a little Sango quietly returned his greeting, "Good morning Miroku."
Kagome and Shippo stared with very large eyes. They did not expect that from Sango. Miroku turned to face the group
"Everyone, last night Sango courageously agreed to be my wife!" he once again kissed the back of her hand causing her to blush.
After the shock, Kagome ran forward to hug Sango "I am so happy for you" she said out loud, in her ear she whispered "I want the details later when we get a chance." Sango laughed and nodded yes In agreement.
Shippo was jumping up and down when he spotted Kirara over near Sango, he ran over, grabbing the fire cat he said "Are you happy? Sango sure looks happy! I'm happy for her! He rubbed her fur back then ran back over to the others.
Kagome quickly hugged Miroku and congratulated him then moved away. After all the congratulating was over, everyone ate breakfast and prepared to leave and go back to Kaede's. Everyone was in a fairly good mood, even Inuyasha.Which Kagome was very glad of, if all went well maybe he would let her go home. As they came in the village, Inuyasha smelled something that wasn't human, he told the group to be prepared, and they moved forward cautiously, not sure what was happening, then Inuyasha saw it and stepped over in front of Kagome.
