Chapter Nine: New Expectations

After Inuyasha had confessed that he was in love with Kagome, he fell asleep immediately, it took all her strength to carry the great big drunken oaf to bed where she climbed in and snuggling up to him wen't to sleep.

Sango and Miroku's dinner was not going well, and the food was being used as target practice for Miroku's head. "You stupid leching idiotic pirate son of a jackass, stay the hell away from me, you have ruined my life, for now no man will want me, why did I have to have feelings for such a pervert". Kami-sami, did I just say that out loud. My dearest Sango, you do have feelings for me, I knew it, that is why we were destined to meet and than you are to have my child. "Is that all I am to you some whore who will conceive a child so your legacy will live on, you really are some work, here I start to confess my feelings for you and you make it like it was some damn mission of yours, for all I care you can go to hell!"

Sango stomped out of Miroku's room livid and ready to kill anyone who dared get in her way right now. As soon as she got on deck, the waterworks began. Kagome who had heard the shouting decided to go up on deck to see if her friend was okay. She was about to approach Sango when Miroku came up from below deck, he looked like a kid who had just lost his favorite puppy. No mischievous spark just dead eyes that looked like he wanted to just dissapear. Kagome felt sorry for the lech, because she could see that he loved her friend. "Oy, Mirkou, how did dinner go with Sango? "Kagome what are you doing up here, where's the captain? Oh yeah that, he told me he loved me asked me to be his mate and passed out. A small smile appeared on the ex-monk's face but quickly vanished as he remembered his own dilemma. "Miroku, why don't you just tell Sango that you want to be with her, for her and not just because she is having your baby." It's not that simple Kagome, you see Sango wants a man who can give her marriage and a safe life, I am a wanted pirate, I have no house, This ship has been my home since I was a young lad, That is no real life for her, and that is why I am letting her go". "I love her to much for her, she deserves more than just being a pirates wife, I want her to be happy and have a long content life, even if it's without me."

Than Miroku walked away to the kitchen to go get drunk some more. Kagome felt so bad for her two friends, and was trying to think up a plan to get them together. She decided she better go check on Inuyasha. He was still asleep clutching tightly to his pillow muttering "Kagome, mine." She got undressed and hopped back into bed with him, he wrapped his arms around her and bringing her to him, half asleep in dream world, smiled contentedly in his sleep. Kagome instantly knew that he was the man she had been waiting for, she would tell Kouga, that the marriage was off and if need be she would stay with the captain, just so she could be with him. Finally she drifted off to sleep.
