Inuyasha and the others had started traveling again , going toward the destination they had
decided to live at . A place not too far from the well Kagome used to travel between times . Of
course , Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo would have their own home, and Sango , Miroku , and
Kilala would have their own home as well . Miroku and Sango decided to let the other three
know of their dating , which was already so obvious and surprised no one .
Inuyasha and Miroku had been secretly scheming behind Kagome and Sango's backs . They
were planning to propose . They planned on stopping not too far from were they were currently ,
which was about half way or more to their destination . They couldn't wait hardly any longer
when it was the day before they were going to propose , they almost let the secret slip .
But luckily they kept their secret a secret until the next day . Inuyasha woke Kagome at dawn
and took her out for the day walking around and having a picnic by a small little stream . At the
picnic , Inuyasha had Kagome go sit by him on a large flat rock , next to the stream . Kagome
smiled uncontrollably , she wasn't 100 sure on what was going on , but she had a pretty good
idea . Inuyasha held her hand kindly and looked into once again bright shinning eyes .
"Kagome, I love you . You know this , I know this , our friends know this ... but I want the world to know
of our love . So Kagome ...Will you marry me ?" Inuyasha said and tears of joy ran down Kagome's cheek . She , of course , said yes
and she and Inuyasha , again , began not so innocently kissing . ;)
Miroku made his proposal at sunset sitting on a hillside with Sango . And the next day neither
girl could quit rambling on and on about how sweet and romantic their men were . The boys just
walked proudly behind them .
"Wow you too finally popped the question !" Shippo said sitting on Inuyasha's shoulder .
"Yes , Inuyasha and I have been planning this for some time now ,
making sure everything would be just right ." Miroku said with a grin , quite pleased with himself . Inuyasha smiled and shook his head
agreeing as he watched Kagome and Sango brag about how wonderful they both were . Shippo hopped down and ran up onto
Kagome's shoulder and Inuyasha watched lovingly . Then something horrible crossed his mind , giving him a terrible feeling something
was wrong and that they were being watched . A cold chill ran down his spine and it stopped him in his tracks .
Sesshoumaru... Inuyasha thought to himself , his eyes widening .I ... I can since his presence... How can this be , I killed him...didn't
I?... Inuyasha thought to himself again and looked around , as he listened carefully for even the slightest wrong sound .
"Inuyasha , what is the matter ? Who is here we cannot see ?" Miroku said and looked around . Everyone stopped .
"Oh I was just daydreaming, sorry , let's keep going..." Inuyasha said and ran up to Kagome's side and held her hand and smiled at her
reassuringly . Then when she looked back to Sango he looked around quickly . I know what I felt ... he was here , but how? Did he
really die that day?...I can't remember...he thought looking back to Kagome. How could I lie and say I knew nothing was there ,
Kagome . How could I lie and put you and our friends in danger ? ...How can I be this naive ...? he thought as they walked on into
the sunset .
