Chapter 3

He sadly sighed as he opened the door to the dining room and was shocked at what he saw.

And what he saw was the kitchen; he was in the wrong room. He mentally punched himself for his stupidity. How could he have done that? He visited so much. His head must be else where today. Duh! His mind was on Sango. Then he thought, 'Why would the beer be in the dining room?' so he went to the fridge. Inside was a small case of beer.

'Inu-Yasha must be loosing it.'

He grabbed the beer and walked away.

"Yash?" there was no response. What he didn't know was that Yash wasn't home.

He looked everywhere for him. 'Maybe he went to the dining room looking for Me.' so he went there.

He was just about to open the door when he heard a quiet sound. It was music. He panicked because he thouht that Inu-Yasha and Kagome were having some sort of romantic dinner. He wasnt going to open it but... he didnt think it was likely that Inu-Yasha would be having dinner with Kagome if he invited him over. Slowly he reached for the door knob and turned it. This time he was in the correct room and he just about passed out because of it.

"S-Sango." he stuttered. He was so lost in her beauty. There she stood in all her glory in a gorgeous purple dress, her hair done in a way he almost never saw, while the candle light radiated off of her.

"Hello, Miroku." she said softly.

He realized he was holding a case of beer still so he slowly put it down, never taking his eyes off of her.

"Sango... you look beautiful."

"Thanks," she shyly replied while turning a shade of pink, "Would you like to join me?"

He nodded dumbly and joined her at the table.

From across the table she put out her hands for him to hold and so he did. "Miroku, I am so sorry. I never meant that about you, I do trust you. I was just scared."

"No, I'm sorry; I should never have made you think I wanted other girls or that I would do anything to you."

He held her gaze while she looked away, "Miroku, I want to live with you if the offer is still standing."

He looked at her in surprise, he hadn't suspected that. Then he smiled warmly and replied, "Of course it is."

He got up and offered his hand to help her up. She took it and as soon as she was standing firmly on the ground she was pulled into a scorching kiss. It was by far the best they had ever had. Then one brave handventured lower and grasped the thing he loved most. He waited but there was no slap. He could almost hear the angels singing 'Halalujah!' ( i think it spelt it wrong)

As they finished he held her in his arms and she whispered, "I love you."

She felt him gasp, she had never told him before, "I love you so much Sango." and he squeezed a little tighter.

"We should eat the food before it gets cold; we worked all afternoon to get it ready."

"All this for me?" he asked while sitting down looking a little too proud of himself. She nodded. "Wow, you know I was going to try to escape to go to your house to see you."

"Really, why didn't you want to stay with Yash?"

"Are you serious? He took me to every music store in the city."

She laughed and he said, "You wouldn't think it was so funny if you did it. I almost jumped out of the car."

"Well I'm glad you didn't."

"So am I." he smiled.

Meanwhile

"So where are we going?"

"I made dinner reservations." he replied.

"Where?"

"It's a surprise."

"Yash, I hate it when you do that." she crossed her arms to look like she might have a fit and then smiled brightly. He laughed. She was so cute when she did that. "So seriously, where are we going? McDonalds?"

He looked at her like that would never have crossed his mind, "You deserve better than McDonalds."

"So Dairy Queen then?"

"No."

"Wendy's?"

"No."

"Then where."

"I told you, it's a surprise."

She sighed.

"I think you turned at the wrong street," she told him.

"No I didn't."

"But...Inu-Yasha." they had just pulled into the parking lot of the fanciest most expensive restaurant in town. "Were going here?"

"Yeah."

"But I'm not even dressed to go." she looked down at her stained jeans and t-shirt that said, 'your boyfriend thinks I'm hot.'

"No problem," he replied and pulled something out from the back. It was a beautiful low cut green dress.

"Oh...Yash... thank you." she said softly. He had bought her a dress just for this. Was this night going to be magical or what!?

"Ok, get out so I can put this on."

"Why?"

"Cus I don't want you to see me naked."

"You have for the last month or so," he slyly replied.

She blushed and gave him the evil eye, "Just get out." she said while pushing him.

"Alright, alright."

So he stood outside of the car with his back turned, she made sure of that. Then quicker than he thought, she got out. "Ok I'm done." So as she got out he entered, never once laying an eye on her.

He pulled a tux he bought from out of the back. Then quick as a flash he was done. As he got out the breath was taken from his chest. "Kagome…wow." Was all he could say. He knew she would look good in that dress but he really had no idea how good.

"C'mon puppy." She cheerfully said to him.

"I told you not to call me that wench." He growled back.

"And I told you not to call me wench." She shot back.

"Keh."

She looked down at her dress, "You could have gotten me something a little less …slutty."

He laughed, "I think you look great."

The she smiled slyly and replied, "So will every other man in there."

He stopped walking a gulped. He did NOT want anybody looking at his Kagome except for him. He was at a loss of what to do. But he had no choice.

He walked to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, "If anybody looks at you I'll kill them."

She loved it when he got protective of her. It was a huge turn on. So she put her arm around his waist and walked with him.

Meanwhile

Sango, very un lady like, was stuffing food into her mouth like it was going out of style. Miroku just looked in amazement.

"Hungry?" he asked.

She looked at the fork embarrassed. She hadn't noticed she was stuffing her face like that, "Sorry… I haven't eaten much all day. I was too busy."

"This food is really good." He said, changing the subject.

"Yeah, Kagome did a really good job. I was in charge of boiling the noodles and cooking the vegetables… I'm not much of a cook."

"Non sense, these noodles were boiled just right and the vegetables are great."

She smiled at his attempt to compliment her. "Thanks… I guess." She laughed slightly.

"Hey, I got a question, when I went looking for Inu-Yasha he wasn't anywhere that I could see… Where did he go?"

"He left with Kagome, they went out for supper."

Miroku nodded, why hadn't he thought of that before? Inu-Yasha wasn't that good at hiding… of was he? It had been so long since they played hide and seek… it would have to be about… 3 years now. Ok so that is pathetic, they were about 17. It was fun though but a little unfair. Inu-Yasha can smell things that some people can't… ok things that people CANT smell. And Miroku was not a demon. He had been told he could have been a monk but… he liked girls a lot and he sinned too much so… it really didn't work out for him. His father had been a monk until he thought he could change the weather. He went to the coast one day during a tornado and was sucked right in. He was never seen again.

Miroku put his hand back into his pocket to make sure it was still there. If there was a time and place for it…this would be it. So slowly he took it out so that she couldn't see what he was doing. He got up from his chair and stood next to her.

Then he took the kneeling pose. Sango watching him contently the whole time. "Miroku? What are you doing?" she asked but he didn't reply, he was trying to figure out what to say. He was mad at himself for not thinking this out before going to her.

He inhaled a deep breath, took her hands in his, look into her brown eyes and said, "Sango… for the past couple of months I have really enjoyed your company and I have enjoyed every minute of us being together. Now that you are moving in with me I have a proposition to make… Sango I love you so much… will you marry me?" and he showed her the ring. He thought that went pretty well.

Sango looked at him, taking a moment to understand what she just heard and when she came back to earth her eyes were filled with happy tears.

"Oh my god Miroku, of course I will, I love you so much." And she flung herself in his arms. She laughed/ cried into his shoulder. Then pulled back for a second to look into his eyes before attacking his mouth with hers.

He felt as if he had just died and gone to heaven and Sango was an angel. His hands screamed to touch her so he let his hands do what they wanted and for the first time ever he got a good groping in without a smack and he was loving it.

He rolled on top of her, his hands still roaming as her hands pulled the elastic keeping his hair and a pony tail right off letting his hair fall loose.

Then she stopped, Miroku let out a sad sigh, she wasn't going to let him do it to her.

"Not here." Was what she said and she was right. They weren't even in their own home.

So he picked her up bridal style and carried her out of the house. Their next stop would be the home they would be sharing.

Over to Inu-Yasha and Kagome's end of things

He looked at the clock; it was about 7:15.

"So what do you think happened with them?" Kagome asked.

"Miroku obviously accepted her apology. He loves her to much not to. And I knew he was trying to escape when I was there with him, he wanted to see her so I think they are fine."

She nodded in agreement. Then she couldn't help but wonder what she and Inu-Yasha would be doing tonight. The ideas gave her chills.

Inu-Yasha could smell her arousal. He looked around, she wasn't staring at anybody. She was just thinking.

"You naughty girl, thinking about stuff like that." He said quietly.

She looked so embarrassed. "Thinking about what?"

"You know perfectly well, I can smell the arousal coming off of you."

She kicked his leg from under the table. "Be quiet, people might hear."

He laughed but stopped dead when he looked out the window. He couldn't see the moon. He had forgotten, tonight was the night of the new moon. And yeah, he was so stupid that he had not told Kagome about what happens on this day. She didn't even remember that he had turned human that one horrible night; it was the least of her problems and so was forgotten. He never brought it up. He hated feeling so weak and he didn't want her to know that he was like this. His brother had told him many times to tell her but he never did. He feared that she would find out about him turning human the same way she found out that he was a demon.

He put his fork down and said, "I have to go to the bathroom, I will be right back." And then ran off.

When he got into the bathroom he looked in the mirror. Not much had changed as of yet but his nails were shorter now. He looked down and when he looked back up his eyes were purple. Then slowly he watched as his hair turned from white to black. He could not see his ears transform though because he had his illusion on before hand but he felt the spell lift.

Now what was he to do?

There you have it. And I know it takes me a long time to get updates but this week my cp was so screwed up that it wouldn't even load the word program without crashing but I got it. Sorry there is no song today, I couldn't think of one…yet. I might have one for next chapter.Oh yeah and i know i said i was going to change this chapter but i didnt really change anything except i added some stuff.

Buh Bye, Jenn
