Hey guys! I'm reeeeally sorry about last week. I had too much going on and I went to a concert on Friday and then I got sick and all of this medicine I'm taking is totally messing with my head.

But here is the next chapter. It's short so I don't know why I couldn't finish it. Bean has now ordered me to take a break because she thinks I'm going to keel over with illness and stress. So, I'm taking a two week vacation. The next chapter will be posted on December 3rd. That'll give me time to recooperate.

Gomen. Enjoy.

More Moments?

"'Cuz I know that I'll let you down, and I don't want that." –Relient K.

"So, you seriously want to do this, then?" Azurine asked, looking at Miroku. "You really want to do this tomorrow?"

The monk nodded, his face serious. "I don't want to waste any of the time I've got left waiting. I want to see my child before I go."

Somehow, Miroku's profile set against the sun made him seem all the more lonely and desperate. Azurine could feel tears filling her eyes. The marriage would be tomorrow. After that, no one knew how long they had. Azurine didn't want to be alone, but she couldn't imagine living with anyone other than Miroku.

After a few minutes, the sun dipped below the horizon and Azurine noticed that Miroku was still wearing his jeans under his robes. She sighed, "Miroku, take the pants off."

He grinned at her. "I thought you wanted to wait?"

She shoved his shoulder, blushing. "I didn't mean that, you idiot." She pushed him again before laying back and gazing at the stars. It wasn't long before her view was obstructed by Miroku.

"Do we really have to wait until tomorrow night?"

"Yes," she said simply, pushing him away.

Just then, little Yukito waddled over to them. "A-zur-ine, Miroku! Mommy and Daddy is coming. They wants to talk to you."

Azurine sat up as the pair approached, grinning.

"Sarah…Miroku and I…we decided to, well, get married tomorrow. Is it possible?" Azurine sounded nervous.

"Yeah, we can arrange that. Which is why," Sarah said with a grin, "we were actually coming to talk to you. Miroku, Yuto and I have something to show you. Come on."

Azurine stood up to follow, but Miroku put his hand up. "No looking. It's a surprise."

"You'd better not do anything stupid, monk," she mumbled.

"We're watching him," Sarah reassured her.

"And no whacking me into any trees," she added warningly.

Miroku kissed her forehead. "Don't worry."

Azurine grinned as they dragged her along. She picked up the scent of Sarah's garden going by. She began to wonder where, exactly, they were leading her. Finally, not far from Sarah and Yuto's hut, the group stopped.

"Miroku, can I look now?"

The monk removed his hand. "All right, what do you think?"

When she opened her eyes, Azurine found herself standing outside a newly built hut. It was small, but in a cozy sort of way. Furnishings were sparse but the necessities were there. The girl's jaw dropped and her eyes filled with tears making it hard to see. She turned to Sarah, beaming.

"Thank you so much!" she choked out.

"Well, no matter how much I want to take credit, it was all Miroku's idea," Sarah admitted.

Azurine turned to Miroku who was smiling at her. She tackled him in a hug that almost knocked him over and kissed him.

"Thank you," she said sweetly.

"Hey, I'll be repaid tomorrow night," he replied, expecting a slap, but none came. Azurine was too happy.

Sarah took the liberty of smacking him upside the head in a friendly way, but hard enough to warn him. "Don't talk about my friend that way, you dirty lecher."

He lifted his hands in an innocent gesture. "I was just joking."

"Uh-huh," Azurine said, shaking her head and stepping back. "How'd you three do this?"

"It wasn't just us," Yuto explained. "InuYasha and Kagome helped."

"Really? They're probably back by now. I'm going to go find them. Be back soon." She waved as she ran towards the woods.

Miroku rubbed his head. "I didn't think she'd be that happy."

Sarah chuckled. "She loves you. Anything you do for her will make her happy and feel special."

Miroku grinned. "I like it when she's happy."

"You're supposed to," Yuto remarked, rolling his eyes. "That's the most important thing in a relationship," he said, placing his hand on Sarah's shoulder.

Grinning at his hand, Sarah said to Miroku, "I think I know something that would make her very happy."

"Really? What?"

"Never ask another woman to bear your child, ever again."

Miroku chuckled nervously and sweat dropped.

Azurine caught InuYasha's scent, but she had a strange feeling that she shouldn't bother him at the moment. She could now smell Kagome and sensed an intense aura coming from them. So, instead, she watched from a distance, peeking out from around a tree.

InuYasha seemed nervous. Kagome was sitting on the edge of the well looking sort of sad. Azurine felt guilty for being so happy when Kagome was not. The girl was, after all, her friend.

"InuYasha," Kagome said softly. "I know how you feel about Kikyo and I've told you it's okay."

"Kagome, I loved Kikyo. Past tense. Now, I love you."

"Wh-what?" Kagome's eyes widened in shock.

InuYasha looked down at her lovingly, his eyes excruciatingly sad. He pulled her to her feet and stooped down and…

…he kissed her.

Azurine quickly ducked away behind her tree, blushing. She was shocked, then, suddenly, giggles rose in her throat. She pressed her hand over her mouth and swung herself onto a tree branch, escaping high above the ground.

She dropped to the ground beside Miroku several minutes later, fell to her knees, and burst out in laughter.

"What's going on?" Sarah questioned. "Azurine, have you finally lost it?"

"N-no!" Azurine gasped when she had calmed down enough to speak. "InuYasha and Kagome…they're finally together. I c-couldn't help laughing about it." She grinned up at them.

"Are they now?" Yuto asked.

"About time," Sarah said. "Finally. It took them long enough. What, three or four years?"

After chatting about the day's occurrences, Azurine yawned, "I'm tired."

Miroku wrapped his arm around her and led her towards the hut. She quickly spun out of his reach, shaking her head.

"I'm staying with Sarah tonight. I didn't forget what you pulled last night at the hotel." With that, after pecking him on the cheek, she jogged off to catch up with her friend. Once in the hut, she curled up and went to sleep.

The next morning, Azurine woke up early in the morning. A cool grayness filled the window, the clouds just tingeing pink before the sunrise. Yawning, she stretched, rubbed her eyes, and lay there for about ten minutes before actually standing up. She wasn't up for long as she slipped on her cloak and fell back on her bum.

Miroku was already outside, his staff resting against Sarah and Yuto's hut. He was tossing pebbles into the grass. He looked up when Azurine exited the house, rubbing her sore spot. She smiled and sat beside him. Long minutes passed in silence as they watched the sunrise.

Out of the blue, Azurine looked at Miroku and asked, "How about we elope? It'd be easier."

He smiled at her. "Right now?"

"If you wish."

He stood and pulled Azurine to her feet. "Let's find Kaede."

A fleeting thought of Sarah's never gonna forgive me, passed through her mind as she followed him.

She quickly reasoned Eh; I wasn't invited to her wedding. She smiled and walked on.

Sarah massaged her shoulder as she stepped outside later that morning. She went off to visit Yuto who was out working in the fields for the harvest. Little Yukito toddled along beside her.

On her way, Sarah met up with Kaede, who stopped to speak with her. Sarah was puzzled by the woman's curious expression.

"Hi, Gwandma Kaede!" 'Kito exclaimed, as he ran past, chasing a ladybug.

"Good morning, Lady Kaede," Sarah said. "Are you well?"

"I be fine, lass. I have a message for ye, from Miroku and Azure."

"Oh? What's that?" Sarah asked.

"They apologize for not waking ye, but ask that ye visit after you've done what ye must," Kaede answered simply.

The girl went on curiously to meet Yuto and asked him if he knew what was going on, but he just shrugged.

"For all I know, they got up before dawn, went off and eloped, and are now having tea back at the hut."

"That's crazy," Sarah laughed. "I'd better go see what they want. Don't overexert yourself, dear." She kissed him goodbye and walked back home, waving. "We're having fish. Don't be late!"
