" So Miroku"? "Yes my dear Sango"? "What do you think of what's

been happening between Inuyasha and Kagome"? "What do you meen"?

" Well I meen it all just happened so suddenly, I haven't really had a chance

to recover from the shock yet." "Well, Sango if you think about it, it didn't

happen suddenly at all."" What do you meen Miroku?" Well Inuyasha and

Kagome have had feelings for each other for a long time, so really we've

seen this coming for quite a while." Yeah you're right." Well goodnight

Miroku." " Goodnight Sango." ... Kagome and Inuyasha came back to

camp to see a sleeping Sango, shippo, and Kirara. With a sleeping Miroku

propped up against the trunk of a tree as if to make sure no harm came to

the three before him. " Miroku's so protective of Sango isn't he Inuyasha."

" Yeah, but I meen we all know it's because he deeply cares for her." " Yeah

but he'd sure get a lot better response from her if he stopped attacking her

butt." He instantly agreed with her before laying down to sleep. When the

others awoke in the morning they were surprised but happy to see Inuyasha

asleep by the fire, Kagome using his chest as a pillow, both holding each

other close. This made Sango and Miroku smile, and they decided to allow

the happy couple some privacy and sleep. So Sango offered that they all

go for a walk. Miroku and Sango were just content taking a walk side by

side together. Kirara and Shippo began chasing butterflies along the path

ahead of Miroku and Sango. Sango saw her chance and imediately took it.

" Miroku?" " Hmm?", he said dreamily. " Have you ever...ever what

Sango?" Have you ever been with s...someone?" She imediately turned

3 shades of red from the embarassment of asking such a personal question.

" Been with someone?" " What do you meen?" ( this is the part where

Miroku puts on his, what gastly, I am a Monk, face ) " Oh come on

Miroku, you know exactly what I meen", she said becoming even redder.

This made him smile at her frustration. " No my dear Sango I have never

made love to anyone." Sango was surprised at how relieved she felt,

because the thought of him making love to anyone other than herself made

her furious. Wait did she just think that?" At this thought Sango turned even

more red. After a long moment of silence Miroku said " Why do you ask?"

Sango turned so red at his question that she looked as if she would explode

from humiliation. " W...w...well I was just curious that's all." " Then why are

you blushing", he smiled. " B...because it's such a personal question is all."

" Oh", he said imediately changing the subject so that she wouldn't be so

embarassed. " I'm so happy for Inuyasha and Kagome, arent you Sango?"

" Oh wow, Miroku look up there", said Sango obviously dazzled by

something. " Oh wow, those are the most beautiful cherry blossoms I have

ever seen", said Miroku enjoying Songo's Dazzling smile at the site of the

flowers. " Yes, those are my favorite flowers, they are just so beautiful."

" Like you", said Miroku who then looked away from Sango so that she

wouldn't see his embarassment at having said that out loud. However

Sango had heard what he said perfectly and her heart skipped a beat at the

thought of Miroku thinking she was beautiful. Miroku, having recovered from

his moment of embarassment, reached up and picked the most beautiful of

all the cherry blossoms, and held it out to Sango. " Here, so you'll always

think of me when you see a cherry blossom", he was blushing but also

smiling as she took the flower and placed it on the necklace that Kagome

had given her for her birthday. " It will always be near my heart", she said as

she blushed and couldn't look into his eyes. " I am glad", was the only thing

he could think to say as they began walking back to camp.
