Chapter Five: To Know Will Be Heaven

Sango hugged Kagome in a friendly embrace, once Kagome got off of Inuyasha's back. Inuyasha took his haori back, putting it one. He began to walk towards the hut, where Miroku was standing by.

"Sango it is so good to see you. How was your Honeymoon?" Kagome asked, smiling at Sango. Sango blushed, quickly looking down at her feet.

"It went well. How where things here?" Sango asked. Kagome thought.

"Nothing really, just the same old thing. Protecting the jewel and getting attacked by other demons," said Kagome, "Other then that, nothing,"

"Well, okay," said Sango, "Come on, Kaede started cooking some of her tasty stew,"

Kagome nodded, hearing her stomach grumble.

"My stomach was happy to hear that," said Kagome. Both girls laughed, as they walked down towards the hut.

Kagome entered first, smiling at the small fur ball that attacked her in a tight hug.

"Kagome, you're back!" said Shippo, looking up with a childish smile. Kagome ruffed his hair.

"It's good to see you too Shippo," said Kagome

"Hello Lady Kagome," said Kaede, pouring stew into a bowl. She handed it to Kagome, with a smile on her face.

"Hi Lady Kaede," said Kagome, taking the bowl and walking to rest her back against a wall.

Inuyasha was sitting in a corner of the hut, his sword resting on his shoulder and his eyes closed. His ears flicked left to right, hearing every sound made within the hut and outside.

Kagome sighed as she took a sip of the stew, feeling the heat of it flow down her throat, to the pit of her stomach.

When everyone was finished eating, Kagome and Sango left to go to the hot spring. Miroku looked over at Inuyasha, who now had his eyes opened.

"What?" asked Inuyasha, raising an eyebrow at Miroku. Miroku shook his head.

"You seem so quiet tonight Inuyasha," said Miroku, scratching the back of head.

"Why do you care? It ain't nothin' new," said Inuyasha, standing up.

Miroku blinked.

"Where are you going?" asked Miroku

"Out, and not somewhere where you think. And if I smell you over at the hot springs, even thou one of the girls is your wife, I will kill you, or give you hell,"

Inuyasha left the hut, leaving his sword. Miroku stared at it. He grabbed it and ran out of the hut. He was too late, because Inuyasha was gone.

He sighed, heading back into the hut. Inuyasha doesn't need it, right?

Kagome giggled as Sango told her the stupid things Miroku had done while they were gone. Sango relaxed soon in the water, sighing.

"This is so nice," Sango said, closing her eyes.

"Yeah," Kagome said, playing with the full Shikon Jewel with her fingers. She looked up at the stars, swing the jewel. Sango opened her eyes, and stared at it.

"So have you made your choice yet?" asked Sango. Kagome looked back down, blinking. She then smiled sadly.

"No, it is hard. I don't want to leave my family and lose them forever, but I don't want to lose you guys either," said Kagome, sighing.

"You don't have to worry about us, but maybe Inuyasha," said Sango

"Yeah, Inuyasha will be upset if I left…" Kagome sighed

"So, have you too kissed yet?" asked Sango. Kagome blushed red. Sango giggled, "Well that answered my question,"

"W-We have…" said Kagome

"Finally. I'm happy for you," said Sango

"Thanks…but it still won't be easy…"

"Do you at least know what you want more?"

"Heh…to know will be heaven…"

"…"

"I kind of do…but I want to wait before I finally…truly know,"

Sango smiled.

"I hope you find it soon,"

"I do too,"

Kagome looked back up at the stars. She closed her eyes, and prayed.

I hoped you like! –smiles- I will update quickly as possible, but I am not sure. Now I have a party to get ready to go to soon! PARTY! –brings out a birthday hat and starts dancing to MCR-
