Don't own InuYasha, and it's not like I'll actually own him when all I want is Sesshomaru.

Through the Well

Chapter Forty-Five: A night to remember part three.

Sighing with defeat, He gently kissed her forehead and turned away, walking back to the hut slowly, very slowly.. Sango tapped her foot impatiently as she watched Miroku leave her side.

"And don't peek on me!" Sango yelled out at the lecherous monk.

Before disappearing into the trees, he stopped faced the demon slayer and gave her a mischievous grin. "I won't right now, but maybe when you come back I can..." He left it off their and vanished with a wide grin on his not too clever face.

Sango's blush grew to a deeper shade of red at Miroku's comment. Waiting a few minutes, she looked over to Kirara whom was laying in the grass as if nothing had just transpired between the monk and demon slayer.

"And you're supposed to be keep an eye out for trouble..." Sango told Kirara.

The neko youkai mewed quietly transforming into her smaller form and jumping onto a branch of a near by tree to keep watch. Sango then crept closer to the water and quickly stripped herself from all her clothes and waded into the comforting water.

Laying her stomach against a large rock, Sango let the steam and yet cold air caress her back as her lower half stayed underneath the warmth of the water. The demon slayer began to relax and didn't notice the person calling out her name and coming closer.

"Sango?" He asked looking at her unmoving body, "Sango my dear are you alright? Please don't be ignoring me... Sango? Sango?"

oOo

Miroku felt slightly uneasy as he left Sango. He knew as well as Sango that he wouldn't go back to Kaede's hut while she was bathing, it was a bad habit; yet almost always his downfall. Hiding in the trees for a while, he continued to watch her quickly get undressed.

"Wow," He whispered quietly as his eyes went wide and his mouth hung open. He was practically drooling over the pale curves of the demon slayer's body.

He became infatuated with the way her hips slightly swayed as she slowly disappeared into the water. As soon as she had lain down on the rock with half of her body in the water and half out, he could feel his heart within his throat as well his as his manhood begin to throb.

The monk started to slowly become restless, he wasn't able to keep himself much longer. Dropping his staff to the ground and slipping off his sandals, Miroku made his way uneasily over to Sango. He wasn't sure if she had maybe fallen asleep in the hot spring.

"Sango?" He asked looking at her unmoving body, "Sango my dear are you alright? Please don't be ignoring me... Sango? Sango?"

She hadn't even twitched, and it was really starting to worry the monk. Pulling off his outer robe, he placed it by Sango's clothing and quickly walked into the water where he swam over to where the demon slayer lay.

Only a few feet away from her figure, Miroku gently reached out and touched her shoulder, there was no reaction. An unnerving feeling went throughout his veins as he came closer, lightly pressing his body against hers, tilting her head so he could see her face. What surprised him was that she was wide awake, but seemingly in a dream.

oOo

Kagome did as Inuyasha asked and opened her eyes and tilted her head towards the heavens just as the sun disappeared behind the horizon. It all became dark like a tidal wave and Kagome watched in amazement, her eyes wide and sparkling, and her mouth slightly open in awe; she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"I-Inuyasha..." She whispered.

"Shhh..." He cooed, "Just watch.."

She nodded and silently gazed in excitement as the stars were becoming visible, they seemed to turn on their brightness like a night light. The smile on her face couldn't seem to get any wider, this was the best day of her life and nothing would be able to top it, ever.

'This view is so beautiful!' She told herself closing her eyes and looking away, 'This place is beautiful and I wish that I could stay here forever. But I can't... It's so plan and simple... So black and white... It wouldn't work out. No matter how much I think that I love Inuyasha, I have to let him go...'

Inhaling deeply, Kagome rested her head close by one of the hanyou's shoulders, she had decided to let herself have the knowledge of true happiness and stay in his arms for the rest of the night. Inuyasha deserved as much since Kagome couldn't keep her promise that she said she's keep. How could she? Kagome had another completely different life through the bone eater's well.

oOo

Inuyasha smiled as he watched Kagome from the corners of his eyes. She had tamed his ruthless ways in under a month and had even innocently have him fall uterlessly in love with the young beauty in his arms. The hanyou felt complete, happy, and everything else in this nostalgic scenery.

He had sincerely been thinking about asking Kagome to live with him forever, to let him be by her side always; to be able to protect her, love her and to grow old with her. Though his mind was filled with nothing but positive thoughts, there was this nagging feeling deep within his soul, this sadness that this sweet and lovely place, this cloud nine as some would call it wouldn't last much longer; that it all was coming to an end and soon.

"I-Inuyasha..." He heard Kagome whisper to him.

"Shh.." He hushed her looking up into the heavens. "...Just watch..."

The hanyou could feel her head nodding as it moved to get a better look at the sky. He needed to find a good opportunity to tell her that he had accidentally marked her the day before, but it was either mark her or fuck her like a rabid animal right then and there. He wasn't paying attention to the scenery like Kagome, because he had seen the sunset many times before, though never on this cliff. But who was complaining as long as Kagome was safe and in his arms, nothing else really seemed to matter to him.

Noticing when Kagome laid her head near his shoulder, he held her tighter, never wanting their embrace to end. He wished that time would stay still just for him, just for them. Inuyasha decided to lay his own head against Kagome's, he could feel something a little uncomfortable; Miroku called it a bad feeling or an omen of some sort, but Inuyasha dismissed it almost as instantly as it had struck his mind. He didn't believe in such rubbish as omens and what not, it wasn't his area of expertise, but yet the feeling had never left him.

oOo

"Sango?" He asked worriedly staring into her glassy eyes.

Not sure of what was going on, he stood up straight and looked around, he could sense no demons, or evil aura's around, but what had happened to Sango? Gently rolling her over onto her back, he then began to pick her up when she flinched grabbing onto his shoulders and hugging him to her body. Confused by her actions, he just held her close until she broke their embrace and looked deeply into his blue eyes.

"...Miroku?..." She asked curiously, "How... when did?... I... thought you... uh..."

"Are you okay?" He asked keeping his gaze on her eyes.

"Yeah... Why do you ask?" The demon slayer replied.

"Well, I ...you... um.." His blush became visible in the darkness as Sango slightly changed her position, her nude body rubbing up against his.

Sango eyed him curiously when the monk groaned, closing his eyes; she didn't quite get why he was acting so weird around her so suddenly. Releasing his tense arms from her grasp, the demon slayer stood up straight and looked around, she was still at the hot spring.

Miroku turned away from Sango and crossed his arms over his chest, exhaling deeply. He couldn't let himself lose control, he couldn't take advantage of Sango. He wouldn't ever dream of doing something like that to her, not now, and not in a million years. The monk shivered as Sango's hand reached out and gently gripped his shoulder.

"Sango please..." He breathed, "I mustn't look at you... I don't mean this in a bad way, but if I take one look, I'll lose control and end up doing something that I might regret..."

oOo
