Chapter 19:
Sango and Miroku sat on the edge of the well, waiting for the two to return. "Well, this has been an eventful week, ne?" Miroku asked. Sango nodded and sighed.
"Now maybe we can rest a bit." She stated quietly. 'I wish I could only get over my shyness.' She fiddled with her kimono with her fingertips. Miroku inched closer to her, looking down at her hands, wondering if he should try. 'What does he think he's doing?' Sango smirked. 'I know what you're up to, monk. When I'm not looking or not expecting it you're gonna grope my ass again. Same 'ol, same 'ol.' When Miroku grasped her hand instead, she gasped in surprise.
"This is okay right?" He asked in fear of her gasp that she didn't want him to touch her in anyway possible. 'She's not letting go.' Instead, Sango gained some courage of her own and leaned her head on his shoulder. Miroku flushed bright crimson and sharply breathed in. 'All this waiting....is all I had to do was grasp her hand, instead of her beautiful luscious ass?' Miroku smiled and his eyes sparkled at the thought. He let her hand go and she shifted into his arm's embrace. Never once did his hand linger downward or anywhere it wasn't supposed to. She in turn took his free hand in hers, squeezing tightly. "Sango?"
"Hmmm, yes, Houshi-sama?" She looked up; he marveled at her natural beauty and smiled.
"So, what does this mean?" Sango hadn't really thought of that; what did this mean?
'He's right...what am I supposed to say?' "Ummm...ano...." Miroku sighed.
'I knew this would happen....we can't say how we feel. I can't either....why?' Miroku smiled and moved out of the embrace. Sango frowned.
'Sure I can stand up to a giant bear demon and kick its ass, but when it comes to him I turn into a little girl and want to hide!' Sango mentally berated herself.
"You know the words: I love you come to mind! You two are driving me crazy, dammit!" A gruff voice from the well shouted right before a flash of yellow, red, white and green jumped out of the well. There was Inuyasha with Kagome in his arms, her big yellow bag swung over his shoulder. Miroku and Sango glanced quickly at each other and then looked back at the hanyou, wide-eyed, both blushing. Kagome laughed as Inuyasha finally sat her down. She still was wearing her cast; she would be for quite some time.
"You do realize he's right." Kagome smirked. Inuyasha turned to the schoolgirl with a wild expression on his face. "What?"
"You agreed with me for once!"
"When haven't I??!!??" Kagome said in a loud, whiney yell. Inuyasha held his ears.
"Godammit woman! That hurts!" Kagome crossed her arms as best she could and grunted, much in the manner of the hanyou. Miroku and Sango started to crack up. These petty little arguments were the one thing to tell that things were getting back to normal. "Why'd you have to yell like that?!"
"Cuz I felt like it!" She screamed.
'Normalcy has its pros....and cons.' The monk thought whilst the two fought, until an orange fuzz ball flung himself at Kagome, knocking her on the ground.
"Itai!" Kagome shrieked as her arm hit the ground with a thud.
"Shippo you little shit! Watch it!" Inuyasha rushed to her side. "You okay?"
"It's alright he's just excited." Shippo backed away.
"I'm sorry, Kagome." He pouted. 'I didn't know.'
"It's okay, it only hurt for a second. Come here." 'Okay it still burns.' Inuyasha let out a low growl, that only Shippo could hear. "Inuyasha stop it!" Kagome could sense his jealousy.
"Keh! He hurt you! NO one hurts my Kag-" All of them gazed at him in surprise and then they all started to chuckle lightly. "Ah, just fuck off!" He headed into the trees.
"Hmmm, someone's overprotective." Sango snickered, sighing that the situation about her and Miroku had quickly been forgotten....for now at least.
"I'm really sorry, Kagome." Shippo sniffled. "I didn't do it on purpose."
"I know, I know. It's quite alright." She placed a kiss on his forehead and smiled. "Why don't you head back to Kaede's hut with Kirara, alright? We'll all come shortly." Shippo nodded and bounded away. "I better find that irrational Inuyasha, huh?" Kagome rolled her eyes.
"We'll wait right here for you." Sango smiled.
"Thanks Sango-chan." Kagome ran at a steady pace into the woods; it was getting dark now as the sun was setting. "Inuyasha! Come on! It wasn't that embarrassing! They're gonna find out about us sooner or later, ne?!" She called. A twig snapped somewhere behind her. She turned abruptly around to find one single grey feather float in the air. "Just a bird." She brushed it off.
"Man! Me and big mouth! Grrr..." Inuyasha sighed in placed his faced in his hands. Just then a very familiar scent wafted in the air. "Ugh....it can't be. Awful stench." He sighed. "If they bug me, I'll kill em." Then a scream and a flutter of wings was heard. "Shit! I shoulda known that girl would follow me in here! Kagome!" Inuyasha screamed, but everything became silent and still. Even all the animals became quiet. "Was it just my imagination?" He looked back and forth, sniffing the air. The same awful scent wafted all around him. "I'm surrounded."
"Got that right, dog boy!"
