Alright, I know I haven't updated for about three weeks but I've been completely swamped between getting home at 6 p.m. and having totally filled weekends but next week I get my life back so you know what that means, with any luck I can post a chapter every week but in the mean time a special treat.

Since I haven't gotten a chapter up in three weeks here's three chapters!

Naruto Sennin: Thanks! Hopefully I can live up to your expectations, and yeah I thought that part was a little ify but oh well.

Sango-Miroku-4ever: Yay for people who wake up at 4:50 in the morning and go on the computer! Sorry bout the cliff hangers but that's basically how every chapter ends. Sorry.

Miroku's pet vixen: Sorry I kept you sitting at your computer for about three weeks but like I said I've been swamped.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately I still haven't gotten the copy right to Inuyasha so for now I don't own it.

Chapter 3

Unspoken Feelings

Sango awoke to a sharp pain in her side. "Ugh, what happened?" She said, moving into a sitting position, rubbing her side, trying to recall the last day's events.

"Let's see" she mumbled to herself.

"We were walking along and then Kagome sensed a jewel shard and then… and then the wind picked up, but then what?" She said, twisting her face in concentration, trying to remember what happened next.

"Then" she said slowly "then I climbed on Kirara and… and then I was hit by that tree!" She said as she continued to rub her side.

"Wait, then what happened to the others?" She questioned to herself as her eyes darted around the small clearing she'd found herself in.

"I've got to find then!" She said worriedly as she went to stand but quickly fell back to the ground, her ankle throbbing painfully.

"Damn, I must've hit on the way down" she said as she remembered her fall from Kirara's back.

Just the she heard a rustle from the forest behind her that brought her back to her senses as she grabbed her katana, which she used to get to her feet and steady herself on her bad ankle. She quickly made her way for a large tree on the edge of the clearing and drew her sword.

Just as whatever it was passed her tree she quickly put the sword to its throat. "If you don't want to die, tell me who you are" she said in a calm, commanding voice.

"Well I see your feeling better Sango" said a familiar voice.

"Huh, Miroku? God don't sneak up on me like that!" She said as she re-sheathed her sword.

"It's nice to see your alright to" Miroku said with a slight hint of mischief on his face.

"Um, Miroku I… GET YOUR HAND OF MY BUTT YOU PERVERT!" She yelled as a resounding slap disturbed the otherwise quiet forest.

"I see your fine too Miroku" Sango said with a sigh "some things never change" she added in an undertone.

"It's been far too long Sango" he said with a wide smile as he rubbed the blazing imprint of Sango's hand on his cheek seeming not to have noticed her last comment.

"You just don't learn do you Miroku?" Shippo questioned as he entered the clearing and saw the imprint of a hand on Miroku's face.

"Good to see you're up Sango, are you feeling better?" Shippo asked joyfully as he ran over to Sango.

"Yes Shippo, I'm feeling fine." She said as she sat down, allowing her ankle to rest. "Where are the others?" she asked with concern as Miroku sat down across from her.

"Well Kirara is still searching the debris field and as for Inuyasha and Kagome…" he trailed off as he looked off to the sky in the distance.

"Miroku, what happened to Inuyasha and Kagome?" She said seriously as she stared intently at Miroku who was still off at the sky.

"Honestly, we have no idea, they seemed to have just vanished" he said quietly as his eyes met Sango's.

"I see" she said in the same quiet voice as Miroku had.

"The only thing we've managed to find in the surrounding area was Kagome's pack and bike just north of the debris field" he said, his eyes still interlocked with Sango's.

"So, we don't know what happened, okay, so there's still a chance they're alive" she said as her eyes took on a new spark of hope.

"I suppose, we haven't found anything to say they aren't alive in the past three days although…" but he was abruptly cut off by Sango.

"Wait a minute, I've been out for three days?" She yelled in surprise.

"Yes, I was starting to worry you wouldn't wake" he said quietly as a small blush passed over his face.

"Yeah, and whys that?" Sango asked playful as a smile crossed her face.

"I, well, uh… can't I be worried?" Miroku asked slightly taken back by Sango's question.

"Yeah, sure" she said playfully. And for several quiet minutes they sat there, considering what the other had said.

"Sango, there's something I…" Miroku said but was abruptly cut off by a mighty roar that emanated from the direction of the field.

"That must be Kirara, she must have found something!" Shippo yelled excitedly as he jumped up and ran towards the debris field.

"Well are you just going to sit there?" Sango asked sarcastically as she got to her feet and balanced on a near by tree so she wouldn't fall to the ground.

"Ugh, right" Miroku said as he got up and walked over to Sango.

"You know Sango, you should really recover more of your strength" he said in a concerned voice.

"Hmph, I'm fine" she said as she began to walk away but quickly fell back into Miroku.

"Fine, huh?" he asked sarcastically as he gave her a questioning glance.

"Yeah fine" she said irritably as she pushed herself out of Miroku's arms and back to her feet but quickly fell back into his arms.

"Sango, you and I both know you aren't 'fine,' you need more rest." He said as gently took Sango down with him into a sitting position.

"Uh, Miroku, what are you doing?" Sango asked in a slightly surprised voice.

"Since you won't listen to me, I'll make you. Sango, you can't walk, you need to rest more" Miroku said sternly.

"Okay, maybe I can't walk but one way or another I'm going and you can't stop me!" She yelled as she kicked herself free from Miroku's embrace.

"Besides, what the hell do you care!" She spat at him. "You flirt with anything on two legs! You don't care how anyone feels… how I feel" she added as she cast her eyes at the ground and a single tear made its way down her check.

"Sango I…" Miroku tried to say as he moved to wipe the tear from her eye. "I don't want to hear it Miroku, I just don't want to hear it right now." She said in an weary tone as she pushed his hand away and wipe her check.

"Okay then" Miroku said emotionlessly as he walked over and picked up Sango.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Sango screamed at him.

"I'm carrying you since your to stubborn to rest and obviously can't walk" he said in the same emotionless tone but his face clearly portrayed pain.

"Oh, thanks" Sango said in an undertone voice.

Miroku's only answer was a scoff as he continued to walk in the direction of the debris field and so they spent the rest of the walk in silence. They both knew what they wanted to say to the other but hadn't dared for months and certainly didn't dare now when things seemed so uncertain. I Love You.

There, a nice long chapter to read and one of being wanting to write since I started this story.

So, let me know what you think!
