Chapter Three: Fevered Dreams

Disclaimer: I wish I may, I wish I might… (opens eyes) Gosh it didn't work! Inuyasha! You'll be mine someday!

Ooooh! I need some water," Sango said breathlessly. She tried to sit up.

"Hold on, hold on! You need to lie down." Miroku pushed her gently back down. Then looked at her and said, "Finally you're awake. I was getting scared."

Sango closed her eyes and asked, "How long have I been out?"

"For almost three days straight!" Miroku looked down on her. "I was starting to get a little worried."

"Yeah, I'm sorry." I better not tell him about my dream yet, Sango thought, he's actually not perverted now. "But it's good to know that you didn't try anything while I was sick."

"Well, I actually did do something." Miroku said guiltily. "If you look under the blankets, you'll notice that you don't have on any clothes."

"WHAT! Why did you take off my clothes?" Sango went deeper into the blankets; she was turning red.

"Because you were burning up! Anyway, the only thing I saw was your stomach and legs. You have on those under things Kagome let you have. I was a little disappointed to say the least, but I guess it was for the best."

"Right…" Sango was disappointed too. She knew Miroku could've taken off her "clothes" and seen her naked, but he didn't. And for once, she wouldn't have cared if he saw the scar on her back. Sango sat straight up and the blanket fell away, leaving Miroku to just gape at her.

Sango are you okay?" He touched her arm and then started rubbing it.

"Miroku stop! Did you forget something? We're supposed to be looking for Naraku's castle." Sango looked at him. "Did you learn anything?"

"Aww…" His head dropped. "Not really. We've been snowed in for a few days and I haven't seen or even been outside yet."

"Well, I guess it's not your fault. Help me dress and we'll go see if we can get out of here."

"I would rather help you undress, but I'll help you now. But when we get back, you're getting some rest."

"Fine with me!"

Miroku helped Sango get dressed and then they opened the door. There was a mountain of snow blocking the entryway.

"How in the world are we going to get out of here! We're totally blocked in!" Sango exclaimed, while turning around. "My weapon won't be able to plow through it unless you want to destroy the whole cabin and it'd be stupid to use your wind tunnel."

"Well, we could just do it the usual way; with our hands."

"But they'll get frozen! Do you have a shovel?" At the look on his face she guessed not. Sango looked around. "Do you think there are any in here?"

"Maybe, let's go check."

They both searched the cabin and found one shovel. They started taking turns shoveling out the snow. After about what seemed three hours they formed an opening.

"Oh finally! Light! I can't wait to get out of here!" Sango said, jumping up and down. "Aren't you happy Miroku?"

Miroku had a wistful look on his face. "Yeah, but I'd still rather have you under me than out there." Miroku craned his head at her.

"Well then, you'll be waiting a while."

I think I like short chaps…. Sorry folks! Review please!
