Chapter One: Snowstorm

"Miroku! What do you think you're doing with that hand?" asked Sango.
Miroku jerked his hand back, "Nothing. What are you talking about?"
Miroku and Sango we're walking through the forest and as you know Miroku was up to his perverted ways. Inuyasha, Kagome (who was nine months pregnant and probably had her child by now), and Shippo were at Kaede's place.
A few weeks ago they got a message of Naraku's whereabouts. It said to come on the night of the new moon and look for a castle in the west. As you should know, Inuyasha turns into a human on the night of the new moon, so he was very vulnerable. He didn't want to leave Kagome with the baby on its way anyway. Shippo and Kilala also stayed behind to guard Kagome and Inuyasha. That is why Sango and Miroku were alone on this escapade.
"Please can you try to mind your manners Miroku? We're supposed to be looking for Naraku's castle," Sango exclaimed, even though she always loved the attention.
"It's not my fault! It's the hand!" Miroku replied.
"Yea right!"
"It is!"
They soon came upon a fork in the road. One lead west and the other lay east.
"We've already been west. Maybe they're just fooling with us and we're supposed to go east," Sango said.
"Maybe. All right, we'll both go east and see if they're messing around," Miroku glanced at her.
"Fine with me," came the reply.
They walked east for a few hours, and then it just started getting really cold.
"What in the hell is this!" screamed Miroku over the howling wind.
"I don't know, but I don't sense any demon auras," Sango made her way towards him. She was afraid of storms, but she wasn't about to tell him that. Then it started snowing. Just great, she thought.
"Come on. I think I see a cabin up ahead. But it's hard to tell over this snow," Miroku looked at Sango cowering behind him. "Don't tell me you're afraid? You fight terrible, scary demons and you're afraid of blizzards?"
"So what?" Sango tried to appear brave and failed miserably. "Everyone's afraid of something. Let's just drop this and get to the cabin."
Miroku nodded and they walked slowly towards the cabin. They got to it in less than five minutes. Miroku opened the door hurriedly and ran in with Sango close at his heels.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! I'm freezing out here," Sango ran into Miroku's back when he suddenly stopped. She grasped his shoulders to steady herself. Then she felt the muscles beneath. "Oooooh!" Sango said under her breath.
"You say something Sango?" Miroku turned around.
"No," Sango turned red. "Nothing at all." She looked around. "Why did you stop?"
"Because it looks like someone was expecting their girlfriend or something and then just up and left."
Sango walked in and closed the door. She looked around the room. There was already a fire in the fireplace, extra logs, a few blankets on the floor, a pack with food on it, and believe it or not, a bottle of wine.
"Whoa! Are you sure we should be here? Someone could just come back in here and then what would we say?" Sango turned and looked at Miroku. "What if they demand we leave?"
"Nobody in their right mind would throw us out in that storm. Anyway, I doubt if anyone went out there, they're not likely to come back soon." And with that Miroku started going through the pack. "Might as well eat; we don't want all this food to go to waste now do we?"
"You pig!" Sango screamed at him.
