One step closer

Yeah...my first fan fiction...please rate if you have the time and you feel extra nice. Oh, and thoughts are done in italics. Like so.

Disclaimer: (god these things are stupid...) I do not own Inu-yasha or any of the characters...though owning Inu-yasha or Sesshoumaru is something I wouldn't mind...grins evilly and sighs...

Prologue:

Sango sighed heavily as she walked behind Inu-yasha, Kagome and Shippo, Kirara sleeping on her shoulder and Miroku walking two feet behind her, eyeing her rear closely as he moved his hand in for the kill.

"MIROKU!!! Oh, Miroku!" Miroku fell over in surprise as he and the others turned in surprise to stare at the young girl running after them. She ran right up to Miroku and kissed him on the lips and began chattering quickly, barely stopping for breath as she nattered on.

"Oh, Miroku, it's wonderful!! I just wanted to thank you for being there for me. Last night was...well, the best night of my life! I just came to say good-bye, as I won't see you for a while, and you left really early and forgot to say good-bye. I can't wait to see you again, so here, take my necklace, and keep it until you come again. Love you!" The girl then kissed him again and ran quickly back towards the village they had just left, leaving Miroku to turn sheepishly towards the others as they stared at him in shock.

"..uh..hehe.."
