Wow... It's been three months since the last time that I updated. I had no idea that it had been that long. Jeez, I'm such a disappointing author! Please forgive me! I'll be good, I promise! I had finals and then my computer was taken away from me, I swear! ^_^
Chapter 14
Sango sighed and desperately tried to break the nervous habit of wringing her hands as she neared Kagome. Shippou, who insisted on showing her his fox magic during the blazing afternoon, was keeping the said miko busy. Sango grimaced as she prepared herself for her best friend's reaction. She dreaded the infamous 'I told you so' that she was bound to receive the moment she told Kagome her news. Taking in a deep breath, the taijiya successfully grabbed the attention of Kagome as she tapped her on the shoulder.
"Oh, hey Sango!" Kagome chirped. She shot her friend a grateful smile before standing and brushing the dust from her school uniform. Sure, she loved Shippou like a son, but she could only sit through his magic tricks so many times before wanting to run in the opposite direction while screaming in frustration. "What's up?"
Giggling inwardly, Sango smiled back. She too had fallen victim to the cycle of Shippou's cries of "See? See what I did?!" and "Don't leave! I have something else to show you! Please?". She shook her head of thoughts and cleared her throat before continuing. "Could I speak to you in private, Kagome-chan? It's important."
"Sure Sango. Shippou-chan, would you mind letting me talk to Sango for a bit?" After some pouting on the kitsune's part and promising of chocolate on the miko's, Kagome and Sango were walking down a fern infested trail toward the river for a bath. It was unspeakably humid out and the hot springs were too warm to bathe in during the daytime.
A comfortable silence settled itself between the girls as each took in the greenery that surrounded them. As they neared the sound of trickling water, Sango spoke up.
"Kagome-chan?"
"Yes, Sango-chan? What is it?" Kagome asked calmly as she began to strip her clothing before lowering herself into the refreshing brook. She broke through the surface of the stream seconds later and flicked her ears to rid them of the water that still clung to them.
Sango did the same before answering. "I have something to tell you."
Kagome smirked knowingly and gave a simple reply. "It wouldn't by any chance have anything to do with the fact that you and Miroku are together now, would it?"
Sango gaped. 'How did she know?!' Kagome seemed to have been able to read her friend's mind and answered the unasked question. "Oh come on, don't look so shocked! I can smell it all over you!"
The taijiya merely smiled before returning to the task at hand, cleaning herself. 'Of course she knew, she's a hanyou!'
Not long after the girls had finished drying and dressing themselves, Kagome turned to Sango and said, "Sango?" She turned to look at the miko in response before hearing, "I told you so." and running after her laughing hanyou friend.

Kagome chewed absentmindedly on the deer meat that her mate had handed her minutes before. Earlier that day, the two hanyous had gone hunting and she had caught a deer and two rabbits. After giving them to her love to clean and Kaede to prepare, she was now enjoying the spoils of her work. 'I love him so much. How long is it now until we will be married? That's right, a little less than two weeks... I can't wait!' A warm embrace from behind caught her off guard and a soft squeak escaped from her throat. Moments later, she recognized the hug as one from Inuyasha and relaxed into his hold after putting her food down. Turning around to face her mate, she smiled warmly and placed an affectionate kiss on his waiting lips. "Hey, love," she whispered sweetly as she looked into his tawny eyes.
Inuyasha kissed her back just as fervently before whispering a simple, "Hello," and capturing her lips again. "What are you thinking about?" he inquired softly.
"Guess," she teased tenderly as she reached a hand up to scratch her lover's ears. "I'll give you a hint. He's the only person that I think about anymore," she added with a grin.
Her mate faked a pout. "It had better not be Kouga."
Kagome nipped his nose lightly and giggled. "Guess again."
"Me?" he inquired.
"Dog boy wins a prize!" she replied laughingly. 'Gods, I love this man. Well, hanyou...'
"Mmmm..." he sounded while kissing her neck tactfully. "And what might that be?"
"Hmmm..." Kagome put a finger to her chin in mock thought. "How does ramen sound?"
"How about a kiss, instead?" he whispered huskily into her ear. She shivered at the feel of his hot breath on her skin and had to contain a giggle.
"No I'm sure that you love me," she chuckled before kissing him again.

AN: You can never go wrong with fluff, even if it is pointless! That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'm hoping to break 200 reviews before the story is over. There will only be a few more chapters, but I'm still debating over whether or not I should make an epilogue and/or a sequel. Maybe I should finish my other stories first... Let me know what you think! Don't forget to review, please!
