Chapter 8 - Okay... here's what happens. I think those of you who like happy endings might be a little disappointed. (Am I telling the truth?) Check and see.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hours ticked by. Miroku was still out cold. Worry etched on to everyone's face. Even Inuyasha. No one said a word. Inuyasha had built a fire. Everyone was sitting around it except for Sango and Miroku. They were a little ways away for the group around the fire. The group could see them. Kagome glanced over, her fingers running though Shippo's hair (Shippo's asleep). 'How long will the medicine take? Did we get it to him in time? Why didn't he wake up?' The questions zipped though her head to unimaginable speed. Inuyasha cut though the silence. "No way that corrupted monk can be dead. He's taken worse than this. All of the beating he has taken from his lecherousness has to be worse than this." he quietly yelled. (I know.. quietly yelled doesn't make since, but just think of it as a softer yell.) Kagome smiled sadly. "Inuyasha, remember the first time I saw you in your human form." He nodded. "You were human. How did it feel when you were poisoned?" Inuyasha sighed. She did have a point. The poison had burned within his organs. But his mind wander to when he slept with his head on her lap. He smirked lightly, but mentally smack himself for getting distracted.
Kaede was next to speak. "Well, I must be getting to bed. Will ye wake me up if there's any change?" Kagome nodded. "Yes, we will." Kaede nodded once. "Thank ye." Inuyasha watched the old woman hobble in to the hut. "Old hag, she can't even stay up past midnight." he said as he looked at the fire. Kagome blew off the disrespect for once, knowing most of it was out of concern for Miroku. She looked over at the mention man with Sango at his side. She was tired and had fallen asleep with her head on his chest. She sighed.
Within the next few hours...
He opened his eyes, everyone was asleep. He looked at the dying fire as the wind blew it out, leaving only the hot embers left to burn. Sitting up, he felt a odd weight on his chest. He looked down to see a beautiful face that he had learned to love- even if he didn't admit it. Smiling, he took the back of his hand and stroked her cheek. She seemed to like his touch, nudging her head closer as she silently woke up. She looked up into his eye which always seemed to show his emotions. Then, reality hit. "Miroku?" Sango whispered. He smiled with a gleam in his eye, one of friendship and admiration, no alternate intention. Sango sighed heavily as she gave him a fierce hug. "You had us scared." she said Miroku smiled. "Sango?" he asked. "Yes." He itched the back of his head nervously. "Uh... I have a question." he said quietly. "What is it?" "What happened to me?" Sango face faulted. "What?" she asked, hoping she didn't hear him right. "Uh... what happened?" Sango thought he was going to ask something completely different. She told him what happened.
Kagome woke up to a normal sound. "LECHER!" She shook her head. 'Miroku has done it again. WAIT A MINUTE.' her mind yelled. She jumped up out of her sleeping bag. She saw Miroku, grinning and running for dear life with Sango in hot pursuit. Inuyasha jumped down next to her. "Miroku's awake." she yelled. Unexpectedly, she wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's shoulders and kissed him. Inuyasha was slightly surprised, but he responded by pulling her closer. In shock at what she had just done, Kagome pulled back. "I'm sorry, Inuyasha. I didn't mean to..." she was cut off by Inuyasha's finger over her mouth. He bent over and kissed her.

HAPPY ENDING!!! So, what do you think? One or two more chapters?
To A Solitary Voice: HA HA. Sango ends up with Miroku (you know) not Fluffy. You know what I'm talking about. I can't believe you like Sango and Sesshomaru pairings. That's just awkward.
