I'm officially sick of doing separate points of views and re-writing all the chapters. I'll do this chapter like I've done the previous ones,but after this I might stop. if you guys like the both point of view things, review, and tell me what you think.

His lips barely touched my ear as he whispered the words that almost made me black out.

"I love you."

Time stopped and his words hung in the air for centuries, waiting for my reply. I knew that what he just said had changed our lives, indefinitely. Now that he had said it, we could never go back. Things were different now, and I had to think about what I wanted. Did I love him? Did I want him to love me? Could it work? I thought about it for all of one and a half seconds before coming to a decision.

"I love you, too…" I paused, smiling, "…Miroku." I loved the way it felt, to say his name. He appeared to love hearing it. Without any warning he started laughing, he held me now in a way that was more of a silly I'm-so-happy-I-could-dance kind of way and rocked me side to side somewhat fast. Kirara, with growing concerns for our safety, began flying lower, just in case he decided to rock us right off her back. I could hear the laughter in his voice as he spoke.

"You said my name!" he said, his tone incredulous.

Kirara touched down on a grassy slope not to far from the village. The wind blew the grass gently in random directions. As close as it was to the village and to the Bone Eaters Well, it was perfectly quiet where we were. That is, until Miroku and I crash-landed there. Several birds flew out of the trees that surrounded the clearing, frightened of his almost-shouting.

"Yes, I did … Miroku." I grinned. It made me happy to see him like this. It was a good thing he didn't act like this before; otherwise I would have been drooling all over him long before now. But I was too happy to drool now.

The second I said his name again, he pulled me off of Kirara, and onto the ground, on top of him. It was more like we fell off, but there was no way he was stupid enough to fall off of her. He had cushioned my fall with his own body, and he didn't even seem fazed. He wrapped he arms around me and flipped us over so the he was on top of me, but that only lasted a second. We were on a hill, and he had set us into motion, rolling down the gentle slope, picking up speed, laughing and clinging to each other. By the time we came to a stop we were out of breath and panting at the bottom of the hill, shaded by the trees that closed in on us as we rolled.

We were now on the edge of the forest. We had stopped with me lying in the grass, hair loose of its tie and sprawled around my head and Miroku on top of me. The space between us was only a few inches at most. I looked up into his eyes, those blue-purple orbs, full of affection and love and smiled at him. He smiled back.

"Sango …"

"Miroku …"

That drove him over the edge. Just the sound of me saying his name. He leaned down and, pausing for just a second to look into my eyes, met his lips with mine. The feeling was incredible. The tiny shockwaves that reverberated through my entire body made me moan against his lips, causing him to move deeper into the kiss. His lips moved over mine, gentle and hungry at the same time, and it was perfect. I felt his arms move around me and I was aware of the pressure of his body on top of mine as he repositioned his arms. His hand touched my cheek, making more little shocks. I felt his lips part and he licked my bottom lip. I opened my lips against his, letting him take control. His tongue dipped into my mouth, coaxing mine out. He was comfortable and was about to take his weight off of me when I told him with my body "no", bucking gently against him. He got the hint. Slowly, and after several seconds, he pulled his tongue away and took his smooth lips off mine. My face was flushed, but I still felt cold without him there, touching me. He moved to stand up and I stopped him, grabbing his arm. He lay next to me in the grass. I cuddled up next to him and he put his arm around me. I looked up at him and smiled. He leaned over and kissed my forehead.

"I love you."

"I love you, too, Sango."
