The New Hanyou

CHAPTER 3

One day has passed since Kagome had swallowed the Shikon No Tama, InuYasha hasn't left her side since leaving Shippo, Miroku, and Sango living in there hut all alone.

Miroku, wake up. Wake up Miroku. Shippo said tapping Miroku on the shoulder. Miroku turned over in the bed to face Shippo.

What do you want, it better be good waking me up this early in the morning. Miroku said with a growl under his sleepy voice.

"If it means you staying alive, then I think its important."

"What are you talking about Shippo?" Miroku said turning over to see Sango snuggled up right next to him, Miroku instantly tensed up and got away from Sango quietly, carefully, and quickly. He was leaving the room to go find Shippo and thank him for the pain that he would have gone threw.

"Miroku." Sango said in her sleep. Miroku stopped and turned to see Sango curl up into a little ball in her bed. Miroku stood staring at Sango till he realized that he should leave before she wakes up. He walked out to the main room were he saw Shippo sitting at the table waiting for food to magically appear.

"Thank you Shippo, you may have just saved my life right there." Miroku said sitting down next to him.

"No problem, I just didn't want to hear Sango yelling this early in the morning, and why did you crawl into Sango's bed again anyways?"

"I didn't crawl into her bed Shippo, I would never do such a thing." Shippo rolled his eyes, "anyways, I heard Sango tossing and tuning in her bedroom so I got up to see if she was fine, when I walked over to her bed she grabbed me and I couldn't get up without walking her up so I made myself comfortable and just feel asleep."

"And you expect me to believe that story? Sango would never do anything like that even if she was asleep."

"Shippo, c'mon lets play." One of the village boys yelled into the hut. Shippo quickly got up and ran outside to play, Miroku got up as well and sat down in the door to watch the kids play.

*~*~*~*~*~* Sango's Room *~*~*~*~*~*

'He left early. Normally he wont wake up till after I've woken up and started breakfast.' Sango had thought laying in bed, 'when am I going to be able to tell him that' "I love him." Sango said whispering the last part as she got up out bed and got dressed.

*~*~*~*~*~* In The Hut *~*~*~*~*~*

'What am I going to do? I don't think I will live much longer if I don't tell Sango I love her.' Miroku thought as he watched the kids play with a ball. Sango walked out of her room and saw Miroku sitting by the door watching something, she stood there watching Miroku for a little while longer till she started to get breakfast ready. Miroku still in deep thought about how he was going to tell Sango how he felt, he smelt the breakfast that she was making.

"Miroku, can you call Shippo in, breakfast is almost ready." Sango said not making eye contact with him.

"Shippo, breakfast is ready!" Miroku screamed out to Shippo. Shippo turned to Miroku to listen to what he was saying when the ball hit him in the head.

"Shippo are you ok, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to." One of the village girls said running up to him to see if he was ok. Shippo got up and felt his head were the ball had hit him.

"I'm fine you don't have to worry about me Sakura, I just got distracted." Shippo said still rubbing his head and looking back at the hut.

"Are you sure your fine, cuz i don't think that Kaede would mind putting a bandage on that." Sakura said smiling at him.

"No, I'm fine I just... just need to go home.. break.. breakfast is ready, bye." Shippo said as he looked down at the ground trying to hide his blush then ran off to the hut.

*~*~*~*~*~* Inside The Hut *~*~*~*~*~*

"Looks like Shippo has a little crush on someone in the village." Miroku said as Sango was preparing the food and setting it onto the table as it was done cooking.

"What makes you say that?" Sango asked as she was setting the rice down on the table.

"When a girl asks you a question I think looking at the ground, stuttering, and blushing are three signs that say 'I like you'." Miroku said as Shippo entered the hut. "Well if it isn't the boyfriend of Sakura." Miroku Said sarcastically sitting down at the table.

"I'M NOT HER BOYFRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!" Shippo yelled.

"Denial, always the first stage." Miroku said adding fuel to the fire. Shippo started to angry now.

"I think it's cute that Shippo has a crush on Sakura, I mean she is vary cute, probably the cutest girl in the village." Sango said giving Shippo a comforting smile.

"I know she's cute and everything I just don't know how to tell that I like her." Shippo said as Sango handed him some rice."

"Tell me about it." Sango and Miroku said in unison. They both blushed and Shippo just watched sum what interested.

"Miroku, would you like some more rice?" Sango asked trying to calm herself down. The rest of breakfast was ate in silence till Shippo finished.

"I'm going outside to play see you guys later." Shippo ran out the door were he found his friends playing with a ball once again. Sango and Miroku were left alone finishing there breakfast, when done Miroku helped Sango out with the dishes then left for a walk, and Sango left to check up on Kagome.

*~*~*~*~*~* In Kaede's Hut *~*~*~*~*~*

"How is Kagome doing?" Sang asked as she entered the hut.

"Still recovering from her wounds by Kikyo." InuYasha said looking at Kagomes shoulder.

"InuYasha is it me or dose Kagome's hair look longer to you?" Sango was looking vary closely at Kagome.

"I think your just imagining things, she has only been out for a day theres no way her hair can grow that fast." Sango stayed by Kagome the rest of the day, not wanting to see Miroku till tomorrow, when she finally left the sun was setting and she was getting kind of tired.

*~*~*~*~*~* With Miroku *~*~*~*~*~*

Miroku was walking through the village thinking about Sango and how he was going to tell her his true feelings, "But if I tell her and she rejects me then I don't know what I will do with my life, but I don't think I will be rejected, I think she feels the same as I do, but if she doesn't then what?" Miroku was in deep thought on his way back to his hut when he passed by Kaede's hut and stopped in front of it, "it's to late the sun has almost set and I need to sleep this over." Miroku continued on his way to his hut.

*~*~*~*~*~* Inside The Hut *~*~*~*~*~*

'What am I going to do? I don't think I can go on much longer keeping my feelings from Miroku. Fine then I will tell him tomorrow and that will be that' Sango thought to herself as she pored some tea into a cup, Miroku entered a little while after and saw her sipping her tea.

'Should I tell her how I feel or wait a little longer? Tomorrow will be a good time to tell her how I feel so tomorrow it is.' Miroku passed Sango and walked to his room to get some rest and the courage for tomorrows news. Sango didn't even realize that Miroku had entered and gone to sleep, after she was done with her tea Sango then soon fallowed Mirokus lead and went to sleep as well.

*~*~*~*~*~*~* The Next Day *~*~*~*~*~*

Miroku stayed in his own bed that night which made Sango a little sad when she woke up to start breakfast. Miroku woke up to the smell of breakfast being made. He got out of bed, got dressed, and made his way to the main room and sat at the table waiting for Sango to finish cooking breakfast.

"Miroku can you please call Shippo in for breakfast, he should be just outside playing with Sakura." Sango said not making eye contact with him. Miroku got up and waked to the door.

"Shippo..!" Miroku started, but stopped because he saw Sakura kiss Shippo on the cheek. He walked back inside and saw Sango finish setting the table.

"Where's Shippo, I thought I told you to call him in for..." Sango was cut off by Miroku kissing her on the lips. She was stunned for a second then started to kiss him back which surprised Miroku a little bite, but he kept on kissing her. Sango broke the kiss off and looked into Miroku's brown eyes and said the words he was hoping to hear.

"I love you Miroku." Sango said hugging him.

"I love you too Sango." Miroku said hugging Sango back.

"Well it's about time." Shippo said standing in the door, then running to the table and started to get food, "I thought breakfast was never going to get ready." Sango and Miroku took a seat next to each other on the opposite side of Shippo. "Sango why are you sitting next to Miroku? Aren't you afraid that he is going to touch you or something." Shippo asked curiously still stuffing food in his mouth.

"I don't think he will do that anymore." Sango said kissing Miroku on the cheek.

'Now I know I missed something' Shippo thought to himself still eating. Shippo finished eating his breakfast and ran outside to see Sakura again.

*~*~*~*~*~* Two Days Later In Kaede's Hut *~*~*~*~*~*

"What do you think she will do when she finds out?" Miroku said looking down at Kagome with Sango, InuYasha, Shippo, and Sakura.

"Well the first thing she is going to do is blame me for doing this to her, just you watch." InuYasha said with a little anger in his voice siting back to his normal position.

"What makes you say that InuYasha?" Sango said still looking at Kagome.

"Well for one she blames me for everything and just look at her when she finds out theres no one els she will blame." InuYasha said getting irritated with this conversation.

"And what will you tell her?" Shippo said holding Sakura's hand.

"The truth and nothing more." InuYasha said vary seriously. Shippo started to laugh at that statement, "and what's so funny?" InuYasha almost yelled.

"You, you tell the truth, I don't think I have ever heard you tell the truth." Shippo said still laughing.
