Hello all! I'm back again and this time it only took me 1 day to update again! Be proud of me :P. Well I hope you like the next chapter! Enjoy!
Chapter 15: Blinding Romance.
Sango's P.O.V
The thought of meeting Kagome's little brother made me think of Kohaku. But actually meeting Souta was worse. I didn't even get a chance to find Kohaku. Will I ever see Kohaku again? Tears welled up in my eyes. I had never thought about this until now. My whole reason for being alive right now was to avenge my family's death and to free Kohaku from Naraku's grasp. Now, I don't even know if Kohaku is alive if the shikon jewel is restored. And if he is alive, he could be wandering alone in the forest. Before I even finished my dinner, I slowly got up and walked into Kagome's room and sat on my bed. Tears were streaming down my face by now. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Miroku. Miroku looked down at my pain stricken face and he knelt down and pulled me into his embrace.
"Shh. It's ok! Where ever Kohaku is, I'm sure he is happy." Miroku soothed. My eyes widened in shock.
"H-how did you know? How did you know I was crying for Kohaku?" Miroku smirked.
"I've seen that face too many times. Your eyes, they're full of worry." Miroku said softly. More tears streamed down my face. But they were different tears. Happy tears. I hugged Miroku tightly.
"Thank you, Miroku." I muffled softly into his chest.
"I want to make you happy, Sango. I want to see you smiling all the time! Will you let me do that?" Miroku asked. I looked up at him.
"What are you saying?" I said confusingly. Miroku smirked.
"I love you." Miroku bent down and kissed me softly.
Inuyasha's P.O.V
I sat and watched as Miroku followed up Sango to her room. What does he have planned now? That lecher!
"Poor Sango." Kagome said to herself. My head turned toward her. Kagome was clearing the table and putting everything away. She was about to grab a table cloth when I put my hand on top of hers. She looked up at me.
"Let me do it." I offered. Kagome smiled and again, she kissed me on the cheek. I could really get used to this. I wet the cloth and began cleaning the table. Kagome sat down in a chair, smiling as she watched me do her work. To get to the spot in front of Kagome, I had to reach over her. When doing so, our faces were mere inches away. My hand stopped cleaning subconsciously and Kagome and I just stared at each other. Soon those mere inches became mere centimeters, millimeters, and then the distance was gone. My hand moved from the table to cup her cheek. Her arm slithered around my neck and her fingers entangled themselves in my hair. If anything, the kiss would have lasted a lot longer if Souta didn't decide to walk in to get some juice.
"Gah!" Souta hollered. "Did I miss something here!" Souta said before closing his eyes. He spun around quickly trying to get away from the kitchen but met the wall instead. "Oww!" Souta whined. Kagome and I both burst out laughing. Souta crashed to the floor. He slowly sat up and slumped against the wall. "Are you sure Shippou isn't yours?" Souta interrogated.
"Of coarse he isn't! I'm a dog demon! How in the hell do you think we'd come up with a fox demon?" I growled back. Kagome silently giggled to herself.
"Well are you and Kagome dating then?" Souta questioned. Kagome and I exchanged glances. I guess this is the defining moment. Kagome nodded. My heart felt like if it went any faster, it would rip through my chest from the pressure. I smiled at her and Souta completely vanished from my world. All I could see is Kagome smiling happily. But then the front door opened, snapping me back to reality.
"I'm home!" an old friendly voice came from the front hall way.
"Hi Gramps! We're in the kitchen." Kagome greeted. "Souta, could you go get Miroku and Sango? I think they're in my room. And get Shippou while you're at it! I think he's with Buyo." Souta sighed and trudged upstairs. I sat beside Kagome waiting for the old man to get in the kitchen.
"Ahhh!" a scream came from upstairs. Souta came running down the stairs rubbing his eyes, chanting, 'not again, not again'. Kagome and I looked at each other. Souta charged into the kitchen. "Are you happy? Now I'm blind!" Souta yelled. He stalked off mumbling something about sexual hormone driven teenagers. Where in the world did he learn words like that? More importantly, what the hell happened upstairs? Miroku came down the stairs smiling followed by a very embarrassed Sango.
"What happened up there?" Kagome asked. Sango pulled her to the side and began to whisper so quietly that I couldn't even make it out. Miroku sat down beside me and sighed happily.
"What the hell did you do, you lecher!" I growled quietly. Miroku looked over at me with a cheesy smile planted on his face.
"I did it!" Miroku sighed again. I jerked back in disgust.
"You did what?" I hollered. Miroku looked at me, knowing exactly what I was thinking.
"I didn't do THAT! I told her I loved her… and then I kissed her. And it would have lasted longer if Souta didn't come to get us!" Miroku said maliciously.
"Tell me about it." I said without thinking. Miroku lifted a curious brow and his cheesy smile turned into his usual perverted one.
"Soooo… what have YOU been doing with Miss Kagome over there?" Miroku said mockingly. I punched him in the arm.
"Oww! Violence gets you no where, Inuyasha. Unless it's in battle of course!" Miroku added. I punched him in the arm again.
"Well it makes ME feel better!" I sneered.
"Come on! Don't leave me out of the details! What did you do?" Miroku whispered.
"We just kissed." I said simply, without looking at him.
"That's not all is it?" Miroku said knowingly. "She said something right, didn't she?"
"How in the hell do you know these things?" I asked.
"I gotta life time of knowledge." Miroku bragged. "What did she say?"
"She told Souta that we were…together." I said quietly. I hate actually talking about this stuff. Especially with this pervert.
"Aww! How cut-." Instead of letting him finish, I punched him in the stomach making him topple to the ground. The girls both looked over and rolled his eyes. Then the old man walked into the kitchen.
"Well Hello there! Who are you all?" Gramps questioned sweetly.
"Hi Gramps." Kagome smiled. "Miroku is the one sprawled out on the floor and this is Sango. And Shippou is the one walking behind you." Gramps turned around andlike said, there was Shippou coming to meet his new grandpa. "They're from the feudal era. And they'll be living with us now. Is that ok?" Kagome asked. Shippou jumped on Gramps and hugged his neck.
"Please Grandpa?" Shippou asked innocently. I was waiting for the old man to slap a ward on Shippou's face but it never came. Gramps looked like he had just seen the most adorable thing in the world.
"Of coarse you can little fella!" Shippou smiled and jumped over to Kagome.
"Inuyasha and I cleared out the office upstairs and that's where Inuyasha and Miroku will sleep while Sango and most likely Shippou will be in my room. Okay?" Kagome stated. Gramps nodded and then jumped when he felt something rub up against his leg. Kagome giggled.
"That's Kirara." Sango informed. Kirara mewed and trotted over to Sango.
"Well, I think it's about time we should be going to bed. We have a long day of shopping ahead of us!" Kagome cheered. I groaned. Not again! Gramps left to his room. Miroku was the first to get up out of all of us. He walked over to Sango and kissed her quickly but passionately. Sango was left there speechless. I was the next to leave but I didn't kiss Kagome. I'd rather leave it till the very last moment.
Kagome's P.O.V
I smiled as I watched Miroku kiss Sango. It was absolutely adorable. They're so cute together! Inuyasha got up and left. I was hoping I'd get a kiss to but he just up and left to his room. I thought I'd leave it alone and I walked over to Sango. She was staring endlessly at the floor and I swear you could see the glare of her blushing cheeks off of the hard wood floor. I smiled.
"So how does it feel?" I joked. Sango snapped back from her trance and looked at me. All she did was smile brightly, get up and leave. I shrugged my shoulders and followed her. I think we'll get more girl talk in my room. "Shippou? Could you sleep in the boy's room tonight? I'd like to talk to Sango alone. Is that ok?" Shippou nodded happily and ran to the boys' room and made a bed for himself out of a sweater Inuyasha had left on the floor. Inuyasha had been moved in that room for not even half a day and he already was being messy. I shook my head and walked to my room but I felt someone grab my hand. I turned around and Inuyasha pulled me over to him and he kissed me. It was the same kiss Miroku had given Sango. Short but passionate.
"Good Night" he smiled and turned around and went to his room.
"Good Night" I replied but it was too late he had already gone in his room and shut the door. I turned around and there was Sango leaning up against the door smiling. We both giggled and I hurried into my room and shut the door.
"Here, you can borrow these." I threw a pair of pajamas at Sango. She looked at them, smiled, and put them on. I started looking for a pair of pajamas for me when I saw a piece of paper neatly folded on the floor of the closet. I picked it up and opened it. It was the note I had left Inuyasha on Thursday! He kept it? Wow! I smiled to myself and put the note back where I found it, just incase Inuyasha wanted it back. I found a pair of pajamas and put them on.
"So?" Sango started.
"So what?" I replied as if not knowing what she was getting at.
"You know what I mean!" Sango smiled. I tried to hide it but I began smiling as well. "So are you two…official?" Sango questioned. I nodded and began to blush. "I've never seen Inuyasha like this. He really seems to be changing. He's a lot more helpful, polite, grateful, nice and… ok maybe not all that but you know what I mean." Sango giggled.
"Yeah I think your right! I mean he offered to wipe the tables for me… which never got finished." I winked. Sango giggled more. I felt like I was a 12 year old talking about my first real crush or something! I'm so glad Sango is here! "What about Miroku, huh?" I hinted. Sango blushed and stayed silent. "Come on Sango! You can't leave out the details!"
"Well you know everything already! He said he loved me, we kissed, the end!" Sango said quickly.
"Well you kissed long enough for Souta to catch you!" I pointed out. Sango blushed even more. If she blushed anymore I bet someone would mistake her for a balloon!
"Ok Lets go to sleep! You'll love tomorrow! I just know it!" I told her. Sango nodded her head and got into her bed.
"Good-Night Sango!"
"Night Kagome!"
Inuyasha's P.O.V
I closed the door to meet the face of a very happy/curious monk.
"Shut it!" I growled.
"I didn't say anything!" Miroku whined.
"Well I'm psychic! I knew exactly what you were going to say and I shut you up before you got to say it!" I retorted.
"Your rudeness will not pay off in the future you know!" Miroku said wisely.
"Well, it isn't the future right now is it?" I shot back. Miroku shrugged and hopped into bed.
"Nigghhtt Inuyasha!" Miroku cooed mocking what could only be Kagome's voice. I picked up the closest hard object and threw it at Miroku's head. Miroku flopped onto his pillow. "That was uncalled for!" Miroku hollered.
"Shut up, Monk, and go to sleep!" I said annoyed. Miroku shrugged and closed his eyes. I stayed awake for awhile, with only Kagome occupying my head. I finally fell asleep after a while, dreading the next day.
