Rain came in the middle of the night, waking Sango. Her skin felt warm and damp, glistening with a bit of sweat, as she lay there with her beloved husband. She blinked a few times, trying to alleveiate the irritation eyes, and sat up slightly keeping her arm around him. It didn't take long for her to realize she was nervous about leaving, taking a step so far from the life she grew up in.

She asked herself why exactly she was making the move with Kagome. The quick response was, so that they could stay together, but was that a good enough reason to just pick up and go. She would have to find a whole new occupation, seeing as her demon slayer capabilities were obselete and there was no more use for them. Even with Kagome and the others there she knew she would feel alone and an out of place, because, in essence, she would be in need of a whole new identity.

The air in the room was a bit too thick for her, so she got up slowly and went to turn the Air Conditioner on low. She laughed to herself as she did this. It was only a few short years ago when she wouldn't have known what such an object was, and would have been completely bewildered by it. Sango took a moment to let the cool air minister to her skin before stepping away, and wandering over towards the radio/CD player.

She loved music. That wasn't a fact about herself she normally shared, not that she was embarrassed by it, she just never considered it that important. Back in the village she once called home, she remembered some of the young ladies who couldn't resist singing into the summer's breeze, and how she herself couldn't resist to mouth the words to the songs they sung. She reached to turn the CD player on, but stopped because she didn't want to wake Miroku.

"You can turn it on, Sango.." he whispered as he opened his eyes.

She smirked at him. "I can never tell whether you are awake or asleep. Do you delight in fooling me?"

"No, but it is hard to sleep when you are not holding me."

She nodded. Miroku had come a long way since the days when they had first met. He no longer felt up every woman he saw, he was much more polite, and he had long ago dedicated his love and commitment to her and her alone. Still, she knew the old Miroku crept up from time to time, but because she knew his heart, she dealt with it. There were still a few incidences in her mind that bothered her, but now was not the time to think of them. She flickered with the dial on the player until she stumbled upon a song that was very dear to her heart.

It was a song from America. An older song, yes, but one that really spoke to her for reasons unknown. It seemed eerily appropriate for an eve of a new adventure, so after getting an approving glance from Miroku, she turned up the song.

I can show you the world, shinning, shimmering, splendid

Tell me princess now when did you last let your heart decide

I can open your eyes, take you wonder by wonder

Over side ways and under on a magic carpet ride

She blushed slightly when she remembered Kagome said that this came from a children's movie. She actually had the chance to watch the movie and she liked it, but this song to her stood out most of all. A "Whole New World" was literally where she was, where Kagome was when she crossed into the feudal era when she first met InuYasha, and where they would all be when they crossed the oceans to America.
A whole new world, a new fantastic point of view

No one to tell us no or where to go or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world, a dazzling place I never knew

But now from way up here, it's crystal clear

That now I'm in a whole new world with you

She got back into bed, holding Miroku securely and letting him rest his head on her chest. Kotaku, their young son, was fast asleep and eager to travel, but a slight hesitation still hid inside of her own heart. Kagome had assured her everything was worked out perfectly, that her cousins had everything ready for them...that everything would be fine. In the years since her demon exterminator days, she had found multiple interests, the strongest being art and writing. There was a particular college she wanted to go to in the United States, and getting a good start there would help her well on her way in that career field. Miroku had also found a job opportunity in the area where they would be moving, but he never elaborated on it, because his future there wasn't very certain.
Unbelievable sights

Indescribable feeling

Soaring

tumbling

free wheeling

Through an endless diamond sky.

Sango began to breath softly against her husband's neck. She would protect him, her family, her friends, and whoever needed her, no matter where they would. They would stay together, and when it came time for them to part one day she would not ever forget the experiences that she had with each and every one of them. Written on her own soul, they would never be forgotten.
A whole new world

A hundred thousand things to see

I'm like a shooting star

I've come so far

I can't go back

to where I used to be.

It was then where a sense of dread set in. She wanted to stir Miroku awake so she could talk to him, but couldn't find it in her heart to do it. Miroku knew his wife, however, and turned to face her at just the right time.

"Can't sleep?" He spoke to her in his naturally soothing voice.

Sango nodded and propped herself up slightly. "No I can't. I haven't been this nervous in a long time. You do realize that if we go, it will be a long time before we can ever go back again. We won't be able to just run back to the well and visit family and friends."

Miroku ran his fingers like a comb through his love's dark hair, bringing it up to his nose to catch his scent. He didn't have to have demon senses to know this particular fragrance, the one that Sango gave off every day, and only he could detect. "That is very true, but think of the new friends you will make."

Sango's face scrunched up and her lips pressed together. "Maybe I don't want to make new friends." Her voice sounded whiny and irritated, and she instantly regret it as soon as the words were spoken.

A whole new world

With new horizons to pursue

I'll chase them anywhere

There's time to spare

Let me share this whole new world with you.

Miroku turned Sango's cheek to face him, and met her lips with a kiss. To Miroku, the sweetness and excitement of kissing Sango had not lessened over the years, and he hoped it was the same for her. When they parted, he looked away allowing her to concentrate on his voice alone.Think of it this way. I am here."

The biggest smile appeared on Sango's face. In the end she had everything she could possibly want, the most important laying right beside her. "Words of wisdom..." she whispered to him, slinking back under the covers and wrapping her arms tight around his frame, "Ones I will never forget."

A whole new world

(A whole new world)

That's where we'll be

(That's where we'll be)

A thrilling chase

A wondrous place

For you and me.
