Chapter 11- Tracking Water and a Couple at Last
Sango stared up into Miroku's thoughtful eyes. "You love me?"
Miroku nodded, "Yes I do, that's why I've always tried to be more respectful to you than I've been to every other woman I've met."
Sango nodded and leaned against his shoulder, still clutching his hand. "I love you, too, Miroku. I never noticed it until now, but… I really always have."
Miroku sighed and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, holding her against him. And they sat like that, watching the sunset.
As Inuyasha, Kagome, and Mrs. Higurashi set their bags down in Kagome's room, Mrs. Higurashi looked out the window sadly.
"What is it Mom?" Kagome asked confused.
"Sunset… You'd better be heading back."
Kagome nodded and hugged her mom, "We'll be back in a few weeks mom!"
"Goodbye Inuyasha," Mrs. Higurashi said hugging him, while Inuyasha just stood there awkwardly.
They then headed off to the well, hand in hand, and jumped inside.
Inuyasha climbed out of the well, then he helped Kagome out. He wrapped her in a tight hug, and they began walking to the hut.
Kagome walked over to Inuyasha, kissed him on the cheek, and then laid down to sleep. It had been a long day.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome softly as she fell asleep, she was perfect, and he couldn't imagine being apart from her. For it was her who had brought him back to life, and then stuck by him ever since. It had been almost a year since they'd met, and now, he would make sure it would last forever. He then laid down next to her, more comfortable about it than he had been last night, and went to sleep.
Kagome awoke in the morning, and saw Inuyasha sleeping next to her. She laughed softly and ran her hand through his hair, he was so cute when he slept. Then she stood up, and went to get a drink from the stream nearby.
Inuyasha snapped open his eyes, realizing Kagome was gone. He jumped out of the bed and ran outside. "Kagome!" he bellowed while sniffing the air violently. Her scent was leading towards the stream, so he followed and wound up next to the stream. Kagome was getting a drink. Inuyasha blushed, he had no reason to make such a big deal out of it, nobody was after her now that the Shikon no Tama was used.
"Hey sleepy-head," Kagome said walking over to him. Inuyasha smiled as she walked over and then he kissed her. Kagome smiled and looked up into his eyes, "Are you going to teach me how to get used to being a hanyou today?"
"Well, come on if you want to learn, we can start right here."
"Really?" Kagome asked. "How can we start here?"
"It's easy," Inuyasha said grabbing her hand. "Come over here."
Kagome followed to the river bank, where they sat down on the edge.
"Put your face by the water," Inuyasha instructed her. "Now, breathe in deeply. Remember that smell as water."
Kagome did as she was told, finding the smell fairly easy to recognize.
"Now, come with me."
They began walking down the path towards Sango's camp, she was lonely now that their journey was over, so they figured they should stop in and see her.
Arriving at the camp, they saw Sango and Miroku sitting together on a fallen tree sleeping in each other's arms.
"It's about time!" Kagome whispered.
"Feh. Ignore them for now Kagome, let's get back to training."
Kagome nodded and they walked off into the middle of the forest.
"Now, Kagome, try to find water, just by it's scent, and tell me which way it is."
Kagome sniffed the air, and finally pointed off to the right. "That way," she said confidently.
Inuyasha smiled, "You're right! You're really getting the hang of this, let's take a break."
Suddenly they heard a voice.
"What are you two doing here?" Sango asked sleepily.
Kagome and Inuyasha looked over to see Sango walking over towards them rubbing her eyes, with Miroku just waking up on the fallen tree he had been sitting on.
"We should be asking you the same question," Kagome said winking at Sango. "It's about time you guys."
"What are you talking about?" Miroku asked walking up beside Sango and putting his arm around her.
Inuyasha laughed. "Just look at yourselves right now! Miroku, you're not fondling her, and Sango, you're not backing away from him."
"We've seen it all along that you guys loved each other, so why did you wait until now to start showing it?" Kagome asked looking intently at them.
Miroku laughed, "You knew it all along, eh?"
"Feh," Inuyasha said. "And it's not like you didn't."
Suddenly Sango looked at them, "I didn't know until now…"
Miroku hugged her tighter and said, "Well, you do know now."
Inuyasha and Kagome laughed.
"We'll leave you alone now," Inuyasha remarked.
"Yeah, have fun bonding!" Kagome teased.
Then Kagome and Inuaysha walked off hand in hand, while Sango and Miroku stood together, gazing into each others' eyes.
Ok, there was no real point in this chappie, but it's hard to come up with ideas for this story! Review please.
