Chapter 2- Plans, Plans

'Hnn, so that is Sir Hitomi's plan is it?' Miroku thought to himself. 'Marry her eh? I've already proposed and she already accepted! How dare he try to claim what is mine! Geez, I'm starting to sound like Inuyasha.' The monk shrugged in his robes, shaking off the light autumn breeze.

Without a second thought Miroku stole off into the night, ready to make plans to woo Sango and make her his again.

Elsewhere

"Inuyasha…. Of course I'll stay. I have to go back though; I need to finish school after all. The school I attend has three terms, and I need just one more. But I promise you I'll stay." She walked up to Inuyasha and tucked her head under his chin. She smiled when she heard him sniff her hair.

"Kagome, I'm going to ask you a very serious question. I've figured out that I love you very much Kagome. And even after all the hardships we went through, you were still there for me. I…I want to mate Kagome." He looked at the girl, who was staring at the grass quietly. "I completely understand if you're not ready, it's ok, I just wanted-"

"Inuyasha…" Kagome whispered,

"Yes?" Inuyasha swallowed hard.

"Don't speak." She smiled when he nodded and smiled. She pulled him to sit on his haunches as she undressed herself. Inuyasha slowly took off his haori and inner shirt.

It wasn't long before they were naked under the stars, basked in the light of the full moon.

"I love you Inuyasha." Kagome whispered against his ear.

And it was beautiful.

Next Morning

"Morning Sango."

"Hey Tat." Sango yawned lazily.

The light was streaming into the hut, making Sango's hair seem ethereal.

And it really showed off the nice chunk of demon guts.

"Ugh, I need a bath…sorely." She smiled sheepishly. "Wonder if Kagome went home last night. Ah well." Sango struggled getting up. Trying to be graceful with a broken elbow wasn't an easy task. In fact, it was damn hard…like Tatsu's chest…mmm, nice…

"Sango, your face is red, are you alright?"

"Yes! I'm going to take a bath, I have to go cool down, uh, I mean, that is to say…having guts in your hair really makes things hotter than normal." 'Smooth one Sango, real smooth.' She quickly gathered her clothes and headed off the nearest river.

Unbeknownst to her, Tatsu followed behind her. Well, he needed a bath as well, and he figured that Sango wouldn't go to a hot spring, she just said she needed to cool down!

So, he followed behind her unknowingly to the hot spring.

Sango was already soaking in the water, floating on her back. Or at least she was until she heard footsteps. Looking up, she saw Tatsu coming. She was about to yell when she realized he didn't even see her…

'What an evil ploy Sango…let's test his intentions, shall we then.' Sango thought to herself. She went back to floating aimlessly on the water, listening to his footsteps slow down as he began to gather things.

Tatsu looked up curiously. Something was in the water, but he couldn't tell what. All he saw was two bumps coming out of the water. Sango chose this moment to gracefully throw her head up, back to him.

'So evil indeed, he can see my butt, I know he's looking and I know he knows it's me…why isn't he saying anything?'

"A tennyo." Tatsu whispered.

Sango's eyes widened. 'He called me a tennyo? Does he really think I'm that beautiful?' Sango stood up in the water, wringing water from her hair and turned to face Tatsu. She pretended to be shocked t see him, and hurriedly covered herself, blushing.

"I'm so sorry Sango, I had no idea it was you! That's why I stared so long…I thought you were some beautiful woman from the heavens, and I wondered why the fates would bless me so to have-"

"Alright, it's ok, at least you didn't stare at me intentionally. But um…could you turn around so I could get my clothes, please?"

"Oh yes, by all means." Tatsu faced a nearby tree. Sango slowly walked by him, making sure he could hear her footsteps getting closer. He was being bashful! It was a phenomenon she knew she would never see again. How cute.

She dressed quickly so to spare Tat-tat and further embarrassment. "I'm done, Tat-tat. You can turn around now." She watched him slowly turn to face her, making sure she was, in fact, dressed.

"You know Sango, it is not polite to tease." Tatsu turned his back to her so she couldn't see his blush.

"I know Tat. I was only…testing things…and stuff." She said 'testing to see if you do the same things that a certain monk I know does.' She giggled softly at the thought.

That certain monk just happened to see the whole thing…not that he was watching Sango bathe or anything. While Miroku did enjoy hearing her laugh for a first time in awhile, he did not enjoy that this so called 'Tat-tat' was the source of it.
