Well. 5th chapter in two days. That's not too bad, is it? huh?! You never answer me. u.u Now I'm all depressed. But, well, back to the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, but meet me at the allyway of 3rd and 6th street, wearing a paper mask and say "I am sofa king wee todd edd." quickly, and Inuyasha will be ours!
Kagome wiped another set of tears from her face, but these tears weren't because of the dream. They fell because of what had happened between her and Miroku, and Inuyasha and Sango assuming the worst. 'Why did I have to make a big deal out of it. It was just a dream like Miroku said. If I hadn't broken down so badly, he wouldn't have heard me and came in here.' She sighed and dried her tears once more and looked outside at Inuyasha and Sango resting again, but Miroku couldn't be seen.
'Miroku where'd you go?' She glanced about and walked out of the hut. Shippou blinked and looked up from a small nap he had through everything and smiled up at Kagome.
"Kagome! Where have you been all day?" He said, jumping up to her. "We thought you were sick with what Inuyasha had! Are you okay?"
She chuckled at Shippou and smiled, "I'm fine, Shippou. I just needed a little extra rest. Oh! Shippou, did you see Miroku go by anytime soon?"
"Yea, he walked to the forest," Shippou pointed towards the Forest of Inuyasha, where the Sacred Tree and the Bone-Eaters Well were.
"Thanks, Shippou" She smiled sweetly at Shippou and headed off into Miroku's direction.
Inuyasha peaked up from his nap, watching Kagome enter the forest and he stood up and followed behind her, silently. 'If Kagome's going back home, I want to make sure of it. But if she's going to see Miroku again..' He growled lightly at his thoughts and continued to follow her.
Kagome searched around quickly, muttering things to herself about how Inuyasha and Sango were so ignorant to assume that, Inuyasha hearing each word, but not believing her. 'I saw those two hanging onto each other. How could Kagome betray me like that!'
A chilly late-autumn breeze glided smoothly through the trees, causing Kagome to shiver lightly and she rubbed her arms. 'I forgot how close to winter it was. I forgot to pack a sweater. Another thing to add to my list of mistakes, today.' Sighing, she searched for Miroku still. Inuyasha was unfazed bye the freezing breeze and he followed Kagome carefully, being sure not to be seen or not to step on any branches or twigs.
Miroku was sitting against a tree near the Bone-Eaters well, knowing that Kagome would probably be wanting to go home. As Kagome reached the well, she looked over the edge of it, just looking down, not noticing Miroku yet. He stood up when he spotted Kagome and sighed lightly. 'Wait, she wouldn't be going home if she didn't bring her bag with her. So she's not going to leave us.' He thought, hopefully.
Inuyasha peered from the Sacred Tree down at the two. His amber eyes glowed with jealousy and anger. Kagome looked up from the well after collecting her thoughts more, and she spotted Miroku and smiled, relieved. He smiled back, but looked slightly concerned. Kagome walked towards him and wrapped her arms around him, also concerned. "Miroku, it feels like Sango and Inuyasha have a lot of hatred towards us right now."
"Kagome, those two will stay angry at us for a long time. I'm not completely sure it's safe to be around them much." He wrapped his arms back around her as Kagome put her head back into his chest.
Inuyasha's claws sank deep into a branch of the Sacred Tree, 'Those to really are in love.' He growled as quietly as he could through clenched fangs.
Kagome's eyes were filled with tears that were ready to pour down at anytime while she leaned against Miroku. She shivered from the cold, and the fear that ran through her and Miroku held her tighter and ran his fingers through her smooth hair. Inuyasha growled a bit louder, backing into the shadows as his amber eyes glared at the two, then he headed back towards the village.
Once again, Kagome looked up at Miroku's soft gaze and smiled gently through her fearful tears, which were ready to fall at anytime. Miroku chuckled very lightly at her, and this time, Kagome was the one to lean in and kiss him. The two shared the kiss for a much longer time than before. Miroku's hands were around Kagome very tightly, like he would never let go.
Thoughts raced through the two as they kissed. 'What's going on? Why do I feel this way...I thought I loved Inuyasha.' Kagome thought while Miroku deepened the kiss.
'I know I'm disrespecting Sango and Inuyasha, but they can't do anything about it.' The monk thought, finally breaking the kiss to gaze down at the woman in his arms. "Kagome.." He said, still looking concerned. "..you know how much those two will despise us?"
"Would that be more than they already do?" She said, a small smile across her lips as she laid her head back onto his chest. Miroku's grip lightened a bit and he put his head on top of Kagome's and stroked her hair more, rocking her gently back and forth.
Another chilling wind picked up, and it had become very cloudy, blocking out the sun, which made it fell like early winter. Kagome looked at Miroku's black and purple kimono and chuckled. "Look," she pointed at a few white dots. "it's starting to snow."
They chuckled and looked up as the snow started to come down a little harder, Kagome began to shiver again. The monk felt her shiver and untied the purple cloth on his kimono and laid it over Kagome's shoulders and smiled. She gripped it for warmth, and turned, looking up at the sky, leaning back against Miroku.
Ahh... n.n That was a good chapter that took me forever to write. o.o Ah well. Now, what's in store in the next chapter? What are Inuyasha and Sango planning, and god, WHAT'S UP WITH THE SNOW? Ahem. Moving on. :-D Please review. I love to read reviews.
