I don't own Inu Yasha.

Staring at the Stars

"Miroku, shouldn't we be worried about Inu Yasha and Kagome?"

"I'm sure that they're getting on just fine. And yanow, Sango, we have the whole place to ourselves tonight."

"What are you implying? Monk, stay back or I will seriously... Inu Yasha!"

Inu Yasha stomped through the curtain/door holding something, but it seemed to be fighting his grip. Miroku and Sango watched in awe as he walked out and in again. But on the second entrance he had Kagome thrown over his shoulder.

"So, Inu Yasha, did you two have fun? I see Kagome is very flush and you are in a better mood than usual."

"Shut up, Miroku! Inu Yasha was just being stubborn. I said that I wanted him to go back and get my things and that I wouldn't come in until he gets them, but he's too scared of Hojo to."

Kagome looked slyly at Inu Yasha, but he didn't even flinch. Instead he just sat there indifferently. Sango peered at the two of them. She saw a great change in their faces. Kagome looked excited and happier than usual. Inu Yasha looked pleased with himself and the reflection of Kagome filled his gold orb.

"Where were you?"

"It's a long story, but we were in Kagome's era."

"And what were you doing in Kagome's era? You must give us the details."

Inu Yasha's eyebrow twitched and Miroku hid behind Sango quickly.

"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, THAT'S WHAT!!!"

Inu Yasha's temper died as he felt Kagome's soft fingers rubbing behind his ears. He looked puzzled and she just smiled at him.

"We were sleeping. And we talked a little bit. I taught him a little about the modern world, and we just, yanow, hung out."

Sango and Miroku looked at each other quickly and dismissed the topic. They knew that that was the only answer that they were going to get, so they accepted it.

"I'm going to go and talk to the stars for a while."

Kagome stepped outside. The night air was icy, but refreshing. The girl lay on her back and looked to the glittering sky. Once again her skirt tore up, but this time she wasn't alone.

"I won't tell. Can I join you?"

Kagome nodded and looked up at Sango smiling down at her. She knew that the questioning was about to begin, and she resolved to tell the whole truth.

"So what happened?"

"We reconciled. He said that he loved me."

"And then? Did he finally kiss you?"

"No, we fell asleep. Nothing great, but we had both been crying for so long and I woke up in his arms. Then we came here. Romantic, but still Inu Yasha."

Sango patted Kagome on the shoulder. She stood up and walked inside. Kagome stared again at the stars. There was so much she wanted to say to Inu Yasha, but she couldn't find the right words or time.

Inu Yasha snuck up on the young woman humming to herself. He snatched her into his arms and carried her into the forest.

"What are you doing?"

"I just want to talk to you."

He set her gently down on a rock and stood in front of her. She looked up at his tall figure and found him staring solemnly down at her. Her eyes were so innocent, yet alluring. She stood up and stared him down.

"What are you up to, Inu Yasha?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to talk to you."

"Well talk. Miroku and Sango are going to be looking for us soon, yanow. And we don't want them to get the wrong idea."

"Kagome just shut up. I lied. I don't want to talk. I just wanted to be with you alone."

"Oh, ok."

Kagome sat back down and Inu Yasha sat on the ground beside her. He rested his head in her lap and she stroked his silvery hair tenderly. She looked down at him and saw that his eyes were closed. She suddenly remembered the first time that he showed emotion with her. It seemed so long ago, and she remembered how embarrassed she was when he said that she smelled nice. Inu Yasha grabbed her hand and held on his warm cheek while Kagome returned to her stargazing.

Aaaahhh! How cute! Ok. I'm not very good at all this lovey, dovey stuff, but I will eventually make them kiss. Tell me in reviews if you want a Sango/Miroku hook up. I welcome all ideas and opinions! – Kanashimi
