Disclaimer: Ok I know I don't usually update during weekends…actually I never have BUT that's besides the point. I just got inspired from a inuyasha and Kagome animation so I am going to do it lol XD

Looking Back

Kagome rolled, thinking that she was now facing her hanyou. She peeked open her eyes to reveal just the wall. She leaned up and looked around the room of the hut. Inuyasha wasn't in there. She stood up and pulled a jacket over her t-shirt, walking outside into the fridged air. It was still early in the morning, telling by the sun just now peaking over the top of the trees.

She crossed her arms over her stomach, rubbing the sides of her arms to try and warm herself up. She walked bare foot on the dew wet grass, looking around for Inuyasha.

She spotted him, he sitting cross legged with his back to her. She quietly walked towards him, leaning down and placing her hands on his shoulders.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha said gently.

"Yeah its me. Did you sleep ok?" she said in reply.

"Yeah." Kagome leaned in, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Then tell me what is wrong."

"Nothing wench."

"Inuyasha. Its Kikyo isnt it? I don't mind you thinking about her, because you did love her. And probably still love her." Inuyasha looked back, confused. "But I just want you to be honest with me. Ok?" Inuyasha looked back at the sun rising. Kagome rolled around and sat next to him. He grabbed hold of her waist and pulled her into his lap, his arms still around her tightly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sango leaned up and stretched out her arms. She looked across the room at Mirokus side, where he lay stretched out across the bed with drool hanging out of the side of his mouth.

"Ugh! Lazy monk." Sango grouched. She kicked the sheets up and jumped to the floor, walking over to Miroku's side of the room. She grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him furiously. "Wake up Miroku!"

Miroku's eyes peeked open, then closed again to the sudden flash of light. Sango shook him once again, waiting for a reaction from the lazy monk. He opened his eyes once again, and smiled.

"Why good morning Sango. Couldn't wait till I got up could you?" he said smirking. He yawned and scratched the side of his head.

"Oh shut up and get outta bed!" Sango said smacking him on the ear.

"Alright." Miroku jumped out of bed, grabbing his staff leaning against the wall. "Shall we go wake up the others or shall we take this time to ourselves?" Sango rolled her eyes but smiled. She leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the lips, trying to not blush. Miroku felt like his heart had just skipped two beats, and his arms and legs went limp.

"Come on." Sango said, stepping out of the hut. Miroku stood there, dumbfoundedly for a second, then followed her outside. Immediately they could see Inuyasha and Kagome sitting beside a tree a good way away from them. Kagome was leaned against Inuyasha, with his arm around her, their backs to them.

--Back to Inuyasha and Kagome—

"I hope one day we will be able to find her and thank her. You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her." Kagome smiled, but Inuyasha could tell she was upset about something. He could smell the tears she was holding up inside.

"What is it?"

"Do you love me.."

"Of course I do." Inuyasha stated.

"You didn't let me finish. Do you love me…because of Kikyo? Do you only love me because I am her reincarnation?" The tears soon ran down her face as Kagome looked up at Inuyasha. Here eyes were sad like she had had this welded up in her head for a long time. Like she had thought about this before.

"What? Kagome…I love you..not because of Kikyo. For you. That day you saw me with her, I was saying good bye to be with you because I love you." Kagome smiled, and hid her face against his chest.

Inuyasha held his arms tighter around her. The words he spoke were true. But he didn't know if he still loved Kikyo. Even if he did, he would always be with Kagome. Kikyo was one with the dead, her heart and soul had died away a long time ago when she thought Inuyasha had betray her, and Kikyo him. That was one reason why they could never be together. Their trust, as long as their feelings for eachother had soon widdled away into nothing by the evil Naraku's scheme.

Now that he thought about it, he was almost happy it had happened. If all of that hadnt happened, Kikyo and Inuyasha splitting apart in betray he never would have met Kagome. His feelings for her at the beginning were only the fact that he could find the jewel shardes for him so he could become full demon.

Now that he thought about it, he didn't want the jewel any more. There was no reason that he wanted to become full demon. All he wanted was Kagome, as his mate. She could have the sharde, maybe wish it away so no demon would ever be after it again. Maybe she could wish to keep one shard to go back to her family and also be with Inuyasha.

There was no possible way he could live without her now. He loved her, he knew he loved her and she knew it. Nothing would change that.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome said for the third time. Inuyasha's head was turned away from her, facing the sun that was slowly rising over the horizon. He turned towards her, a smile on his face.

"Kagome.."

"Hm?"

"Would you be my mate?" Inuyasha put his hand in hers, his eyes gleaming with antisapation. Kagome's heart dropped. She couldn't speak. She didn't know what to say, had he really said what she thought he did?

"W-wha?"

"Would you be my mate? Be with me." Inuyasha said, gripping her hands tight in his. Kagome smiled, jumping up and wrapping her arms around him with a loud shriek popping out. Inuyasha lost his balance and fell back on the grass.

Back to Miroku and Sango

"What do you think they're so happy about?" Miroku asked, referring to Inuyasha and Kagome laying on the grass laughing and at moments Kagome would kiss Inuyasha.

"I have a clue." Sango stated. Miroku stepped in front of Sango and knelt down on one knee, holding Sango's hand with his own.

"Sango. Will you marry me?" Miroku said. Sango giggled thinking he was just being his lecherous self. She looked down at him. No evil lecherous smirk across his face. His face lay serious, like he meant it.

"Miroku.." Sango said, a tiny smile creeping across her face. A tear streamed down and hung off her chin. She fell down and wrapped her arms around Miroku's neck. "Yes!"

Miroku wrapped his arms around her waist, one hand reaching down to her back side and rubbing it affectionatly. Sango pulled back, one eyebrow lifted.

"We're not married yet Miroku." She pointed out.

"Heh.." Miroku said. Sango layed a hand against his cheek and pulled him into a passionate kiss. Some things change but some things don't.
