The Deal Taking Part

scroll three:

It had been three days since Kagome's accident with the demon. Everyone is getting tired and restless of being there. Kagome's birthday had passed three days ago and she had nothing to show towards her being nineteen. Shippo and Kilala were tired of playing and are now just plain bored. Sometimes InuYasha would play with Shippo because he had nothing better to do. Miroku, continuing to be spying on the girls, was consistently caught my Lady Kaede.

"Thou any respect for Kagome and Sango?" She asked him, for hopefully the last time; which she knew wouldn't be. Instead of waiting for his answer she just walked through the door. Sango got up, and walked out the hut looking for some fresh air. She stretched her arms high in the air, and made a little groan. She than took a deep breath and started walking into the forest. Miroku stared at her from where he had sat down. A switch clicked in his mind, about his deal with InuYasha. He had an idea, but, he forgot that the deal with InuYasha also concerned Kagome. As he saw Sango leave into the forest he caught up with her.

"Sango!" He shouted at her. He ran up to beside her. She didn't look mad, but for some reason she seemed like if there was something wrong. "What's wrong?" He added with concern in his tone.

She looked away. "Nothing." She said, Miroku could tell that she was lying. "Actually..." She paused. She hesitated for a moment and than stopped walking. "I was thinking of all the encounters Kagome's had with Kikyou and about her and InuYasha," She said to Miroku as she turned around to see InuYasha chasing Shippo because he'd done something to get InuYasha mad. Kilala was curled up on a rock, and was the only one who didn't seem to have a lot on her mind.

"Than, you wouldn't mind helping me out on something?" He asked her with suspicious looks.

"Miroku, what do you have planned?" She asked. He told her everything that had happened, and even what he wanted InuYasha to do.

I need you to help me. I forgot that the plan involves InuYasha AND Kagome. Do you think you could do something to Kagome so than she'll say that you'd have to owe her back? So, the plan could work out better? Because, I'm sure if I told InuYasha what he had to do...surely kagome wouldn't accept it." Miroku explained, Sango, was still all very confused; but, she knew what she had to do. Miroku too felt this was a little bit too much to ask, but it really was going towards InuYasha and Kagome's benefit. He hated seeing their relationship go down the sink, and he thought that maybe Sango might think hes a hero and such a kind person. Sango and Miroku had walked at least half a mile into the forest until they headed back. They made a rundown of what they were going to do.

When Miroku and Sango finally got back to the front of the hut, they saw InuYasha sitting in the tree, normally you could tell, whenever he liked to think. They could tell that he had a lot on his mind, and from the looks of it, he was quite worn out. Shippo and Kilala were inside. It was getting dark out, and Miroku and Sango saw InuYasha jump down form the tree to in front of their faces.

"And, where have you two been?" InuYasha asked them.

"Walking. Do you have a problem with that?" Sango objected.

"Miroku, did you explain to Sango about our you- know- what?" InuYasha asked madly. Miroku looked at Sango, and she pretended to give a confused look to him.

"No." Miroku lied. "We were talking about Kagome." He said looking back at InuYasha. InuYasha looked at him harder.

"Yeah right. Ypu were probably talking about me and Kago-" InuYasha said sarcastically. Shippo than walked out of the hut and interrupted InuYasha

"Lady Kaede says that there's food for you." He said and than walked back into the hut with Miroku and the others following behind. It looked like Kagome was feeling much better. She was finally able to sit up, but she wasn't wearing her top, but a very large bandage around her upper body. Miroku stared for a moment although no one noticed. Kagome was eating finally by herself, and everyone else grabbed a bowl to eat. The next hour was very quite. Except the slurping sound from Shippo. Kilala sat on Sango's lap while she ate with her bowl in her hand near her face. Everyone else was like that too. When InuYasha finally put his bowl down, the first person, he broke the silence.

"I'm sick of this." He said disgusted as he stood up.

"Huh? What's wrong with the food?" Kagome asked, looking up from her bowl.

"Not the food! I'm sick of everyone one of you!" He shouted. Kagome placed down her bowl, as well as everyone else. "I'm sleeping outside tonight!"

"Oh no you don't! Sit boy!" She shouted. She felt a large amount of pain in her back again.

"Dear child, lay down..." Kaede said to her, helping her lay down. But, Sango rushed over; trying to get to her chance. Sango shoved her hands behind on her back, where Lady Kaede put them. Sango blushed and pulled them out. "I put thanks on you dear Sango...why don't you go to sleep?" She asked of Sango. Although, she felt sympathy on Kagome, because Sango had to somehow do something to Kagome and say that she'd owe her. But, Sango was her best friend. She want Kagome to owe her anything. She just wanted her to get better.

It had been over twenty minutes with Kagome and the others asleep. The only ones who weren't were InuYasha and Sango. Sango, deciding that she'll never get to sleep decided to go out for a walk. She didn't know that InuYasha was still awake. InuYasha had a peep of who was out at practically midnight, and discovered it was Sango. Since, he too, couldn't sleep, jumped down from the tree. Sango looked at him as he came her direction.

"What are you doing up so late?" He asked her. He yawned, but yet, still didn't feel tired.

"I'd like to ask the same thing." She told at him. "I can't sleep. And, It looks like neither can you," she said again. They headed into the dark forest as they talked about Miroku and Kagome all the same, for about an hour until Sango sat on a large rock, she made a very large Yawn. "Hmmm...I'm tired." She said. Her Hiraikotsu was left in the hut, and she was glad it still was. InuYasha walked towards her.

"I'll carry you back if you wish." He offered to her and she placed her hand up to stop him picking her up.

"I can...do it" she made another large yawn, and then tried to stand up, but was weak and tired, so she than took his offer.

He lifted her up, and held her while she cuddled into his arms. What am I doing!? This is InuYasha...not Miroku! ...what is the difference? I am tired and weak right now. She thought to herself as she than fell asleep. InuYasha got back to the village and went inside the hut, and placed Sango down where she was trying to sleep. Miroku's eyes opened.

"What were you doing?" Miroku whispered as he gave him some heavy looks.

"She couldn't sleep...we went walking and than she got tired. What's it to you?" He asked. Miroku didn't want to answer that, so instead just closed his eyes. InuYasha, instead of walking outside of the hut and back into the tree, decided to stare at Kagome. She was straight to much of her extent, and she was purring like a kitten. InuYasha had remembered his and Sango's conversation.

'So, do you really love Kagome?' Sango asked him. 'Do not be afraid to tell, I won't tell her. It can be a promise with us two.' She said again. InuYasha didn't know what to say. For once in his whole life he had nothing to say.

'Yes. But, I hate admitting it to myself and I don't want to tell Kagome' He said, he was actually telling the truth.

'Four years. InuYasha, four years! You know how much she feels about you...why can't you understand that love is as important as eating your vegetables!' she started. To InuYasha it wasn't very clear, but tried his best to understand what she meant. She knew what the deal was between Miroku and InuYasha was, and she was kind of disappointed to hear it from Miroku but, it really was for them.

'I guess.' InuYasha said.

'Show her how much you feel about her InuYasha. She loves you. Who cares about us...just worry about doing your stuff around Shippo. We're all grown ups.' Sango said, as they continued to walk.

'Okay.' He said.

InuYasha sat next to Kagome's sleeping body. Sango opened her eyes slightly to see if InuYasha was showing his love for her. He lifted her body without hurting her back, and held her in his arms. He looked into her closed eyes. How beautiful her face was, and he thought how stupid he was for not doing this earlier. He kissed her forehead; she opened her eyes a little. She didn't slap him this time, because she's not used to someone kissing her in her sleep. She didn't want to slap the person who kissed her. She saw that it was InuYasha. She was surprised.

"Inu...Yasha?" she asked him. He looked at her. Her eyes were so big, and tired.

"Sorry. Go back to sleep." He said, and gently placed her back down. She than closed her eyes.
