Chapter 19: Reunion at Kaede's
Miroku smiled as he slowly woke next to his bride-to-be, his vision slightly blurred in a collage of browns, crèmes and whites and blacks. He was warm, so very warm right now, and he didn't ever want to move from this spot, just lay like this forever, warm and comfortable. He blinked a few times, clearing his vision just a bit so he could make out Sango's smiling face, feeling her pressed lightly against him. For some reason, whenever he looked at her now, he got this… erotic sensation tingling through his extremities, making him want to double over and let his heart do what it will. However, his discipline as a monk made it fairly easy to control his impulses, so this was not too much of a problem. He sighed softly as he reached up, touching her soft, smooth cheek once, feeling the tender flesh underneath his fingers. "She has skin so smooth for so coarse a personality, now there's a paradox," he thought slowly, feeling even his brain slurring the words slightly, the sleepy feeling not wanting to wear off just yet.
He felt her stir beside him, a small whimper of protest, as though resisting getting up every step of the way. Finally, after a few drawn out seconds, her eyes fluttered open, the brown orbs seeming just a bit frightened at first, but that quickly passed as she briefly recoiled from him, but then slid back up beside him, letting her head nuzzle down into his chest, "good morning, Miroku…" she sighed, looking up at him with soft eyes.
Miroku was simply stunned, she had no idea what that innocent look Sango was giving was doing to him. It was absolutely driving him wild as he leaned down and tilted her head up off his chest, then slid down a bit so they were nose to nose. He took her lips gently, hearing her gasp in sudden surprise, his eyes open and steady as he watched hers bulge in shock, then slowly slip closed in enjoyment. "well… maybe she doesn't have THAT coarse a personality," he thought, grinning inwardly as he let his passion loose on her, rolling her onto her back and letting his tongue slither out over her lips, making her give an even higher pitched gasp as he plunged his tongue into her cavernous mouth, growling almost as ferociously as Inuyasha ever could have.
Sango was reeling, she had never felt anything like this, since she was a virgin still, she had told him only, only once they are married he could have her, body and soul. She smiled as she lay back beneath him, moving her damaged right arm above her head, as not to injure it further, and let her right hand run over the houshi's back, feeling the thick fabric of his robes covering the godly body that was hidden beneath their fluttering layers. She didn't really know what she wanted, all she knew was that she wanted him… somehow, someway, but always closer, for him to give her something she had never had and had no knowledge of.
Miroku smirked as he let his hands gently cup her breasts, surprised that she didn't recoil and slap him. No, she did something quite different. She threw her head back, pulling her lips from his and began to whimper and moan softly with his ministrations. "Miroku… oh Miroku," she groaned gently as his hands began to gently grind against the soft mounds. Miroku seemed to purr in delight as he began to undo her slayer's skin tight suit, letting his mouth cover every square inch of flesh he uncovered.
Sango was in exstacy, but knew if he let him go on, then they might get in trouble. "Miroku… stop, that's enough." She whispered, using her left hand to gently push him back, still panting gently, face flushed.
Miroku frowned, slipping alongside her and nuzzling her neck. "Gods, I've wanted this for so long, Sango, just to be alo…" His confession was interrupted by a certain fox kit bounding into the hut, looking down at them with knowing eyes. "And just what were you two up to?" he said, smirking, folding his arms pompously over his little chest.
Miroku and Sango both blushed, then gave the little kit dirty looks, "Shippo, I think you were correct in your assumption, and your interruption was… unexpected…" Miroku said candidly, in the most strangely normal voice he could. Sango blushed deeper, "Miroku!" she growled, "Can it!"
Shippo chuckled softly, turning his back to the bedded couple, "I see, well, I just wanted to tell you that Kagome and Inuyasha are on their way back here, and they told me to tell you ahead of time."
Sango's face suddenly turned from anger to joy faster than a set of traffic lights, "Oh that's wonderful! I've wanted to talk with her for a long time! She hasn't been around in a while."
Miroku's face was passive as he gave the fox a small smile, his eyes closing as he spoke, showing he was pleased. "And when are our two friends supposed to be arriving?"
Shippo smiled as he gave a small nod, "Around noon, and you guys slept in, I decided you two would need some "time" so I let you guys sleep in, and decided to take a walk." He said this with his cheery little, semi-annoying voice.
Miroku smiled as he rose quickly, "well then, Sango, you stay here, alright, I'll go see how Inuyasha and Kagome are do…" Sango cut him off quickly, "no, that's alright! I want to see Kagome too!" she said with a giggle. Her right arm's aching had gone down during the night, making just a dull throb in the back of her mind. She smiled as she rose, giving just the slightest wince of discomfort as she did so, then quickly did back up her slayer's suit, and walked out the wood shade of a door that the hut had. After looking around a little bit, she spotted Hiraikotsu propped against the wall of the hut, seeming to have been freshly polished free of the demon blood from the last battle.
"Shippo must have polished it while I was out," she thought, then spotted Yuki, walking slowly towards the hut, her face breaking out in a wide smile as she ran towards her. "Sango! Sango! Good to see you!" she cried as she ran to her, stopping just a few feet from her, looking adoringly up at her. "How are you feeling? Arm still hurt?" she asked, looking her over slowly, "wow, I had no idea that Sango could look so good in one of these… it's like she was made for it!" she wondered as Sango laughed softly, "well, I can't say everything is in perfect working order, but the pain is mostly gone. And how is everything with you, Yuki?" she asked, tilting her head with a soft smile.
Yuki giggled softly, "Well, The other three are still on their way back, but Houjo was being a little annoying, talking about how awful Inuyasha was, and how much this era sucked, I was about to slap him and tell him to can it!" she finished with a growl, looking angrily behind her as the other three emerged from the treeline and headed back towards the hut. They were definitely not looking their best, a little pale as they walked up to Sango.
Houjo smiled as he walked up to Sango, bowing gently, "Lady Sango, I see you are well, how's your arm?" he asked, giving her a small smile, then walking over and letting his hand rub gently over hiraikotsu. "I thought I would save you the trouble and polish it for you, if that's alright…" he said, smiling. Sango was taken aback, one of these kids was actually helping her! Great! She had a servant! She smiled as she replied, "thank you very much Hojou, but I could have done it myself and saved you the trouble." Hojou shook his head, "no, no, the pleasure was mine!" he said, smiling brightly. Sango blushed just a little, looking away, "once again, my gratitude, Hojou."
Ayumi and Eri walked up behind Hojou, Eri holding the monk's staff, and Ayumi cradling Kilala. The fire cat mewed softly as he leapt from Ayumi's arms, making her yelp in surprise as it leapt at Sango, the slayer making a deft one armed grab and cradled the cat to her stomach, which the cat nuzzled into happily, tail wiggling in merriment. "Oh, hello, Kilala!" she said with a smile, then he eyed the girl with Miroku's staff, "Miroku must have wanted you to be armed unless demons showed up, huh?" she asked, folding her arms with a tiny wince in her stern features. Eri blushed and nodded, walking to the wall and placing the staff lightly against it.
Just then, a streak of red caught up the staff and leapt over them in a deft backflip and landed in a crouch, black hair draping the newcomers shoulders, and black ears flicking quickly. Eri smiled "hey Kag! So good to see you back!" the three girls ran over to Kagome as fast as lightning, quickly giving her a group hug, which Kagome gently returned.
Kagome smiled at her friends, looking them over. They seemed to have taken to the transition pretty well. "Now do you believe me?" she asked, giving them each a questioning look. All four of them quickly nodded, "yeah, Kagome! By the way, your past friends are really cool, just wanted to let you know that!" Eri said, smiling softly. "Kagome, I had you wrong, this is truly amazing, it really is!" Houjo said softly, looking up at the sky, "Its just too good to be true!" he cried, spinning on his heels once, looking exstatic. Kagome smiled softly, truly glad that her friends accepted the way she had lived a double life. "Once Inuyasha gets back, were gonna tell you all the whole storahh!" her statement ended in a cry of shock as she was suddenly lifted up and whisked into the hut by a red blur. All of them looked aghast for a second, but then chuckled as they turned and walked into the hut, all of them gathering around the fire, taking their seats as Miroku gave it a quick match from Kagome's gear, and sat back, and began to tell the tale.
Well theres a good chapter, huh? I hope you all like it, because I'm kinda not doing any schoolwork right now, because I am lazy!
