Chapter 3: Hostages and Love

Kagome had fallen asleep about 30 minutes after she got into her sleeping bag.

She was lying there peacefully sleeping. Suddenly she woke up, but she hadn't opened her eyes yet. She did so slowly and when she did she saw Naraku standing there. He had a tentacle wrapped around her waist and was slowly pulling her towards him. She screamed as loud as she could and then tried to reach for her arrows but they were too far away for her to get.

"Kuku kuku. Kagome I thought it would have been harder to catch you. I thought you were a miko. I guess I was wrong next I might as well just send Kagura next time. Well since your all by yourself with no one to help you why don't you just hand over the jewel shards and no harm will come to your pretty little face." He said in a sly voice.

She stopped screaming and gave him a dirty look. "Never, I will never give you the Jewel Shards. LET ME GO!!!!!" she screamed hoping Kouga or InuYasha would hear.

Naraku reaches over with another tentacle and wraps it around her shards. They glow a light pink and Naraku tentacle falls off being replaced by another one. Kagome smirked triumphantly.

"Fine then you'll have to come with me." Before she could say anything else he wrapped her in all his tentacles and disappeared with a poof.

Kouga arrived at the scene seconds after they disappeared. He new InuYasha would be coming soon and he didn't plan on talking to the Half-Breed tonight.

He looked around and saw Kagome's giant yellow bag and the sleeping bag she had used. He smelt the air. It was a mix of Kagome and someone else.

"Naraku" he said under his breath. He punched the tree as hard as he could and it went flying into other ones. "He kidnapped Kagome because I wasn't there to save her. DAMNIT!" He picked up the bag awkwardly and slung it over his shoulder. He smelt dg-breath coming so he took off at full speed towards the wolf den to figure out his next move.

InuYasha then got there. He knew Kouga had been there because his smell was everywhere. So were Naraku's and Kagome's. Naraku kidnapped Kagome. If something happen to her I'll never forgive myself. I swore to protect her and already I'm failing. Time to die Naraku no one kidnaps Kagome and lives to tell about it. (A/n: What about Kouga eh? Inu's memory must be going.)

He took off running to find Naraku's new lair and Kagome.

The wooden hut was lit well with a burning fire and many scented candles to help the injured. Sango sat on a futon with leg up on a table to accelerate the healing process. She watched in surprise as Miroku tended to her every need. She honestly wondered why he was being so nice. Not that he was ever mean but he hadn't groped her in days. Wow he looks really good in this light. She thought as she watched him make her tea. What am I thinking, it's Miroku. The man who's groped almost every female in Japan. And even if I did have feelings for him I doubt that he would return them. Is it possible? Do I love Miroku? Her thoughts were interrupted by Miroku who was handing her the tea. She was startled.

"Oh, a sorry," she blushed as there hands touched.

"Not a problem Lady Sango, your wish is my command." He said slightly bowing to her.

"Miroku, there's no need to do this I'm perfectly capable of doing everything my self watch." She stood up and wobbled over to the fire but then fell over. Miroku rushed over to her and caught her so that now he was holding her bridal style. His hands weren't even touching her backside. In order to keep herself from fall again Sango wrapped her arms around his neck. Suddenly they were both very close. They gazed into each others eyes until Sango looked away and Miroku brought her over to the futon setting her down gently. "Sorry about that, I guess I can't walk yet." She said looking down not wanting to make eye contact again.

"Tis no problem Lady Sango, it is a pleasure to help you." He said calmly.

Sango blushed again, she had to know whether or not he loved her or not and at the very least tell him how she felt. "Do you love someone Miroku?" she said the blush retuning to her cheeks.

Miroku looked away but then looked back at Sango with a look of passion on his face. Now is my chance he thought. "Yes, you know her, she is kind, beautiful, and has a tough exterior. She is the most wonderful woman I have ever met. But I haven't had the nerve to tell her." He stated. His voice filled with compassion and love. Sango's heart sank at his words. "Why do you ask dear Sango?"

"Umm, I was just wondering Miroku. I just thought... I mean... uhh never mind Miroku. It's nothing." She sighed. That might have been my only chance. Now he loves someone else. Miroku returned to what he was doing, (a/n: not quite sure what it is that does do but he's doing it right now lmao.... complicated) Sango yawned loudly. Miroku heard and looked over at her smiling.

"Time to go to bed now." He said beginning to extinguish the fire. He blew out the candles and before they new it they were both in the dark the only light being and small candle lit at the other side of the hut. Sango pulled a blanket over her and gently moved her foot so that she was now lying down. She realized how much she truly loved Miroku when she noticed a small tear run down her cheek.... For him. She turned to wards the wall not wanting him to see that she was crying.

On his way over to his bedroll he stopped behind Sango. He leaned close to her ear and she could feel his breath on her neck. She held her own breath waiting for him to say something.

"Sango, I need to tell you something. The woman I love, that amazing woman. She's you. Sango I love you more than life itself. Please say something?" His voice was by now a mere whisper, you could tell that he was nervous. But he instantly brightened when he saw Sango turn around and wrap her arms around his neck. She pulled him onto the bed with her so that they were facing each other.

She kissed him softly but then deepened the kiss by pulling him closer.

Miroku was in heaven. Never in a million years would he have been kissing a girl without groping her. Yet here he was afraid doing the wrong thing that he had been doing almost all his life and he didn't even want too. He was disappointed when Sango pulled away braking the kiss.

"I love you too!" she said pulling herself so close to him. She thought that if she wasn't holding him he would float away and ruin the perfect dream.

She had said them. The three words that he had waited to here for such along time. Those words alone made him so happy that he kissed her again, this time sliding his tongue along her bottom lip waiting for entrance. When she opened her mouth he slid his tongue in side her mouth letting a small moan escape from her lips.

Miroku seemed pleased that he had that effect on her. Finally he broke away needing air. Sango looked at him in an almost pleading way.

"Miroku, we shouldn't go any farther than kissing, I don't want to do anything we might regret in the morning." She said. She also silently prayed that he wouldn't think she was scared, even though she knew Miroku would never think something like that.

"That's very wise Lady Sango, my love. I will not do anything thing until your ready. Until we're ready." He said than pulled her to him so that her head was resting in the crook of his neck. Together they fell asleep holding each other.
