(this takes place where the last chapter left off..)

Sango wiped away an escaping tear.

"Stupid Miroku, why did you...stupid!"

She leaned against a tree, tears gathering in her eyes.

"So I'm stupid now, Sango?"

Sango's mouth fell open as she turned to see a tired Miroku leaning against his staff.

The demon hunter made a tiny squeaky noise, then she ran to the monk, tackling him to the ground. She wept into his robes.

Miroku sighed and patter her back. "Sango...why did you do that?"

She gasped between sobs. "Be-cause-you-were-going-to-DIE!"

Miroku sighed again and sat up, supporting her. "I'm not dieing."

Sango regained her composure, sniffiling.

"I'm sorry..I was just so afraid that you.."

Miroku smiled. "I know...But the fact that you would have been okay would've made it all worthwhile."

Sango's eyes widened. She tilted her head to meet his stare.

"Sango..I-"

Suddenly, Sango became all too aware of what was happening-she was in Miroku's arms, he was gazing at her, she was..

She was falling in love with him.

Sango stood abruptly.

"I'm-I'm sorry." She quickly strode into the hut.

Miroku sighed and stood up.

"Maybe one day.."

Two days later, the group stopped for the night.

It was the night of a new moon.

Inuyasha hadn't spoken much. In fact, the only things he had said were, "Yeah", "No", and "Shut up."

(He had said that last one mostly to Shippo.)

At sunset, Inuyasha wandered off, before Kagome got a chance to see him in his human form.

Why confuse her more? He thought, sitting in a tree, his black locks falling around him.

Inuyasha leaned back. It wasn't fair. He was the happiest he had been in a long time..

And then Naraku had to take it away from him.

"Inuyasha,--oh, wow."

Kagome stared up at him.

"You're..."

"human." He said bitterly, finishing her sentence.

Kagome looked at him questioningly.

Inuyasha scoffed.

"Every night there's a new moon, I turn human and lose my demonic powers from sunset to sunrise."

He searched her face for signs of remembrance.

Slowly, she nodded. "I..think I remember that..."

It was quiet.

"Can I come up?"

"What!"

But already, Kagome was climbing the branches to where Inuyasha sat.

"I just wanted to- oh!"

Kagome slipped and started to fall, but didn't as Inuyasha grabbed her wrist.

He pulled her up to the branch where he sat. Luckily, it could hold both of their weight.

Kagome blushed.

"What?"

"Huh?"

Inuyasha sighed, annoyed. "What you wanted to tell me- before you fell." He smirked.

Kagome was quiet, then burst into tears.

"I- uh, I mean-" Inuyasha was upset for making her cry.

Kagome hid her face in her hands.

"I keep trying so hard to remember you..and my head hurts whenever I try..but I know..I just know, that there was something..special between us."

Inuyasha gaped at her.

Kagome pulled her hands away, her eyes were puffy and swollen. She looked at Inuyasha.

"Tell me the truth..why can't I remember where I got this?"

She extended her arm, showing Inuyasha the wide pink scar she got from Tsubaki.

Inuyasha looked away.

"...It's not important."

Kagome fumed at him.

"Yes, it is important! Why can't I remember when I got this? Was it because you gave it to me?"

The last sentence had a bit of fear in it.

Inuyasha looked into her eyes.

"...Yes. Now please. Just forget about me."

Kagome's mouth fell open in shock.

"I don't believe that."

"Just go, okay?"

Kagome's eyes softened.

"..Okay."

She slowly began to lower herself down, but stopped.

"I'm not going to forget, Inuyasha. I'll remember.One day."

After she was gone, Inuyasha didn't know whether to feel happy or angry.

I'm reallytired... well, i didn't kill miroku, cuz i'm cool like that XD..but someone may die...ooo review!
