Chapter 7

Disclaimer: I do not own the Inu Gumi. But I do have very cute Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha and Kagome plushies.

And my friend has a tree that looks like the Goshinboku....My college roomate has a fat calico cat like Kagome's.

But alas, Fluffy and Kikyou plushies cost so much...and they're so hard to find...sigh And who in their right mind wants

a Naraku plushie.....O.O

"Sango?"

She moaned softly and tryed to cuddle Miroku again he, unfortunatly for her, he was sitting up next to her.The two ended up

falling asleep in the feild last night and sleeping in through part of the next day. Kagome and Inu Yasha were going to

be coming back and if they weren't in the village, questions would arise. Questions that could if answered in the wrong

manner be harmful to a certian monk's health.

"Sango we really have to go." He said shaking her "Kagome and Inuyasha might be back soon."

He sighed and picked her up she almost instantly cuddled him again.

"You are going to get me into a lot of trouble Sango, unless they haven't arrived then I'm safe. But knowing Inu Yasha he

will say something like 'Oi where were you monk, oh you were with Sango.' Then comment on how big of a pervert I am and

Kagome-sama will likely have the wrong idea..." He glanced at Sango who was still asleep. "You must really be tired..."

They approched the village and Miroku tryed again, he set her down very gently and said "Sango" as he shook her.

She moaned softly but remained asleep."Sango" he tryed again whispering in her ear then shaking her "You really need to

wake up." Her eyes fluttered open she blinked at Miroku then yawned and rubbed her eyes.

"Houshi-sama...how long was I asleep....did we stay there all night?"

"A very long time...your a very very deep sleeper Sango. We stayed there all night....I guess I fell asleep shortly after you.

Now, we have to get back to the village, Were just about there, would you prefer to walk or be carried like how I was

carring you before."

Sango blushed and stood up "I think I can walk Houshi-sama."

"Well, hopefully we beat Kagome and Inuyasha back. I was quite scared that they would see me carring you in and feed me to

that man eating youkai."

Sango giggled and tryed to keep up the same pace Miroku was going. But he was walking too fast, so she grabbed his hand. He

stopped, and looked at her.

"Your walking too fast..."

"Sorry...I'll walk slower."

She smiled as they walked into the village and to the place where they were staying.

'I wonder if she realizes that she is still holding my hand..' Miroku thought as he glanced over at Sango.

Kirara jumped on her shoulder and purred as Sango pet her. "I guess we beat them back." Sango said looking at Miroku who had

a confused look on his face. "Houshi-sama what's wrong?"

'Last night was so perfect....I'm glad Kagome-sama took the time to plan that. I wonder if she's changed her mind about what

she said to me the last time we were alone. She held my hand...and...she still is..that should mean something.'

Sango stood in front of him and smiled. "Houshi-sama?"

"Uh..sorry I guess I got lost in thought..."

"What were you thinking about?"

"Last night..."

"Oh..."

"I was wondering if anything changed between the two of us..."

"Maybe....."

Kagome grined at Inu Yasha who was less then impressed after hearing all about how she was trying to make Miroku and Sango

become a couple. She tilted her head toward the house they were in.

"Maybe you should just leave them alone." Inu Yasha whispered

"No way, I know Sango-chan is in love with Miroku-sama she's just under some spell."

"Yeah, and he likes any girl so I guess it's okay.."

"I'm trying to listen! BE quiet!"

"You do know I'm the one with better hearing? He said something about 'Last night'"

"Shhh! I'm the relationship specialist not you."

"Keh, relationship specalist? Then why did it take so long for us to get together?"

"Because your stubborn now be quiet."

"I'm stubborn, yeah as stubborn as..."

"O-su-wa...heh....be quiet.

"Maybe?"

"I...I just don't know what to do...."

"I'm not trying to push you into a decision...but...last night was wonderful....I think that was the first time in a long

time that I've been happy..."

"Yeah...I felt that way too..."

"Would you be happy if we spent more time alone togerther? I know I would."

"When?"

"Whenever you want."

"Sango-chan better tell me everything that happened last night..."

"Heh....if they do 'hook up' then will you spend more time and energy towards finding the shikon shards?"

"Maybe"
