hey everyone! sorry for the long wait! Skool started a lit bit ago so i dont have to much time on my hands, and my mom doesnt help my yelling at me whenever i am trying to work on updates. so please be patient.

Disclamier: I do not own Inuyasha or the songs on here, well not in this chapter, cause there are no songs. but anywho.

Chapter 2: Out for a walk.

The Inu gang sat around the fire they had built in a clearing as they treated their wounds. Inuyasha had received quite a few cuts and had nearly escaped having a hole in his stomach. Kagome had a large bruise forming on her side from where the bear had swiped at her and sent her flying, it would have been worse if Shippo had not turned into something to catch her. Shippo and Kilala had escaped unscratched, Kilala was now resting in Sango's lap while she absent mindedly petted her, listening to the conversations around her. Inuyasha, Shippo and Kagome were arguing about who would get the jewel when it was all over.

Miroku was just listening while leaning against a tree, with his eyes closed, either that or he was asleep.

"When we complete the jewel, I'm getting it to become full demon!" yelled Inuyasha at Shippo.

"No! I think Kagome should take it to her world that way greedy demons like Inuyasha cant get it!"

"what did you say!"

"you heard me half breed!"

"WHAT!"

"guys will you cut it out? your giving me a headache."

Sango smiled at the girl from the future, she knew that Kagome was madly in love with Inuyasha, she had told her before, and Sango knew that Inuyasha loved Kagome, it was obvious, but they were both to stubborn to admit it to each other, but whenever one was in trouble, the other would suddenly appear and save them.

'now why cant that be me?' Sango thought sadly, she wished she had someone who cared for her that much, who would save her no matter what, but she hadn't found that person yet.
she sighed and set Kilala down on the ground and stood up, "I'm gonna go for a walk, I'll be back in a little bit."

Kagome looked up "do you want me to come with you Sango?"

Sango smiled lovingly at her practical sister, at least that's how she thought of Kagome, as her sister.

"no its ok Kagome." she replied while picking up her Hiraikotsu and walked out of the clearing.

Miroku's head rose slightly until he could no longer hear Sango's foot steps, then his violet eyes snapped open and he stood up, while dusting himself off he said "I think I'm gonna go for a walk as well" and with that he casually walked after Sango.

Kagome smiled as she watched the monk walk away, she knew that the houshi loved Sango and she was pretty positive that Sango loved the houshi. but they were both to stubborn to admit that to each other.

Sango sat by a small river, as she sat there, she let her mind wander. she thought about her friends, Naraku, and Kohaku.. oh how she missed him. her vision became blurry with unshed tears, but she refused to let them fall, she refused to show that she was weak.

She was so caught up in her thoughts that she never noticed the Youkai come up to her till it was almost to late, she just barely had time to get out of the way, while drawing her hidden Katana to defend herself, but the demon caught the sword in its mouth and broke it in half. Unable to reach Hiraikotsu in time, she closed her eyes and awaited death, who knows, maybe in the next life she would be allowed to see Kohaku again. she felt the demon near, her heart began to race, she was not afraid to die... she always knew that being a demon slayer meant that you might die at any moment, but as she felt the demon raise its claws to attack, she found herself calling for help in her mind, wishing that someone would come and save her, she almost laughed at herself, no one was coming to help her.

"what are you smiling about?" Inuyasha asked Kagome, Shippo had gotten bored of the conversation and was now asleep next to Kilala.

"just thinking.."

"about what?"

"Sango and Miroku"

"what about them?"

Kagome looked at Inuyasha, was he really that dense that he couldn't tell that they loved each other?

"that they love each other."

Inuyasha snorted "yeah, right"

"I'm serious! can you really not tell?"

"I just don't think that Miroku likes Sango."

"really? then why did he go after her?"

"he said he was going for a walk."

Kagome rolled her eyes, he was hopeless.

Everything seemed to slow down, time almost seemed to stop. and Her thoughts turned to...Miroku? she wondered why she thought about him in a time like this. every thought that ran threw her head was about her times with Miroku. and her last thing that ran through her mind was Miroku smiling down at her.

Yeah i know, kinda short, but that seemed like the perfect place to end this chapter, next chapter will be good and semi long, so yea, review!

sakurasango: I know its good to have a Miroku and Sango pairing, its so hard to find a good one at least to me that is. sorry for the wait.

SugarHight01: yea i know its great, and you should know better than to expect this to be updated freqently, this is the oder they get updated, FAL. Tainting, then this one, and now i gotta work on Taining..(sigh)

AznHellGrl: aww, thankies! and i'm gonna try to update more often but i have 2 other storys going and thats kinda hard, but one is ending soon, so that should be good for me updating sooner, and i think i might work on the update for this one next and not one of my othere, my reviews are semi patient they can wait for a while...i think..
