Kagome began to feel her heart jump when she heard that actual question came from Inuyasha's mouth. She honestly couldn't see herself having a child with him, but then again she could never see him out of the picture at all. "Inuyasha, you being serious?" Inuyasha winter white hair draped over his shoulders, as he placed his arms around her, leaned her head against his chest feeling her face go scarlet when he looked at her with a childish grin. "We've come so close Kagome. Before I couldn't see it but now I can. Maybe in time we will..." Inuyasha gave her a light kiss on the cheek as she both blushed as he wrapped his arms around her securely. He softly whispered in her ear, "This is between me and you alright?" Kagome was out of words and she calmly agreed, thinking how things would go if they were to both have a child together. "A moment I can wait for.." Kagome thought, considering both had come along way to even mention it.
Sango still sat beside him, at the edge of the lake feeling his hand over lap hers. The sky was a beautiful shade of orange and purple with the sun just setting, and a cool breeze against her neck. She was surprised such a pervert, and hardly dedicated guy would actually promise he'd be with her.Also, ask her to bare his child.For once he wasn't being a perve about it like Sango would have expected. Sango began to laugh as he drew her eyes away from the sunset and staring into Miroku's dark brown eyes. "So, your just not saying this.. You actually mean you love me Miroku? No other women?" There was a long pause as she expected to see the guilty look on Miroku's face, but surprisingly there was none. He carefully grabbed her hand and looked up at her with a gracefully smile, she'd never seen in her life. " Well maybe I did but not anymore.. I really care about you..It may be hard to believe but I mean it!" Sango face's grew with happiness and excitement that he actually meant the words that he said. " So, you don't have to worry Sango, believe me."
Sango felt relieved and happy that Miroku actually cared. She never thought she'd hear those words come out of his mouth, knowing how he was like. She noticed Miroku and her weren't the only ones who came along way. She looked behind seeing Inuyasha and Kagome from a distance sitting on the cliff surrounded by forest, seeing Kagome's blushing face while Inuyasha steadily held her in his arms.
Night had slowly passed by, as the beautiful colored sky had turned black only seeing the stars shining through. Sango found herself awaking up asleep on his lap, while he stood awake with his hands through her hair staring right out into the lake. "Miroku? How long was I asleep?" She said sleepily as Miroku gave a light grin as she began rubbing her eyes. "Not that long..Kagome brought those beds from her time to use..." He was preferring to sleeping bags as Kagome was awake laying them out, with Inuyasha's red Kimono over her. Sango gave a light smile and looked at Miroku with a curious look. "When are you going to sleep?" He just grinned, "Not for awhile anyways..." Sango just gave him a light hug as she headed off towards Kagome as Inuyasha began to walk and keep Miroku company.
Both of the boys sat at the edge of the lake, as Sango placed herself under the warm red sleeping bag. Sango couldn't stop staring at Miroku, as Kagome drank her water and sat along side Sango.
"I can't believe he actually asked you to bare his child!" Kagome said with excitement, excited that Miroku was being serious for once in his life. Sango just looked the opposite direction turning scarlet red as Kagome sat there with a cheery look on her face hugging her with joy. "You aren't the only who got asked..." Kagome whispered as Sango looked straight at Kagome. "Inuyasha, actually asked you?" Kagome began to blush trying to hid the expression that made Sango grin and smile at the thought of Inuyasha asking her. "Ya, after Miroku asked you somehow Inuyasha had the guts to ask me. I thought he was kidding!" Sango and Kagome laid there with a beaming smile, thinking how life would be with the two side by side.
Kagome could see Inuyasha actually being gentle with a kid. She remembering when the guys at her school had to look after younger kids they're attitudes changed from being angry and teasing, actually caring and playing around with younger kids. She could definitely see that Inuyasha was able to do it, and could already see his dogs ears getting pulled.
Sango could see exactly the same thing with Miroku.
Miroku and Inuyasha quietly stood at the edge of the lake, with Inuyasha running his fingers through the ice cold water with a hidden grin on his face, while Miroku sat in serenity. "So you asked Sango, and it actually went well?" Miroku only had a shinning grin planted upon his face, playing with the small flowers between his thumb and his index finger. It was a smile, that Inuyasha had never seen before. A smile that meant something for once in his life. "I'm surprised it did..." Inuyasha began to blush and looked down at the ground, running his fingers in a circular motion through the long ivory colored grass. "For once I could ask Kagome what I wanted to.. without being held back..." Inuyasha mentioned, as Miroku was brought attention to the enchanted looking half demon. "What did you ask her? That you've been waiting all this time to ask?"
Inuyasha began to blush, and held his head up high with a peaceful grin that was hard to ignore. "I asked Kagome the same question as well.. Something I wanted to ask her from the beginning, but I just couldn't. But I'm glad I did.." Miroku began to grin and looked at him with a sneaky smile, while gazing up at the stars. "When is that going to happen?" Inuyasha began to get angry and blushed something Miroku could have kept to himself, that broke the peace. Inuyasha just turned his hands into fists while he looked at his friend along side of him. "Whenever it does!! Mind your business Miroku..." Miroku just smiled and looked past the lake, feeling a light breeze blow past as the girls slept peacefully.
Inuyasha had a light smile on his face, that he was glad that he had met Kagome, even though were nothing alike. Not from the same era, not even the same species exactly. But he didn't care, he loved her anyways.
