Hey guys! Sry it took so long for me to update, work, work, work! Always slows me down! (even though I'm just starting my teen years) Anyways, hear ya go chapter five!

Chapter 5: Miroku

The sun was rising when Kagome and Inuyasha were coming back to camp, since Kagome couldn't walk that well Inuyasha carried her on his back. Kagome had her chin on his shoulder. ' I cant believe it, he finally admitted it, He loves me. Not Kikyo. Me, and only me.' just the thought of that made butterflies form in her stomach, she held on tighter so she wouldn't fall off.

Inuyasha turned his head sideways to see Kagome head on his shoulder. He smiled as he turned his head and focused on getting back to camp. ' I'm sorry Kikyo, I belong with another now, I hope you're soul will be put to rest soon,'

Inuyasha and Kagome got to the camp site. "Can you walk?" Inuyasha asked helping her off his back. " Well my legs' a little sore but I think I can manage." she said smiling at him.' I missed that smile.' he thought. She turned to look at Sango and Miroku, what she saw made her burst out laughing.

Sango was resting against the tree with her boomerang across her chest with a slightly annoyed look on her face.

Miroku was the funniest, he had three large lumps on his head with a red hand print on his cheek and he had the most dreamiest look on his face.

Kagome almost toppled over with laughter.

" Don't you think we should wake them up now?" He said. " I want to find Naraku as soon as possible." Kagome limped over to Shippo, who was sleeping like a rock. "Oh relax Inuyasha," she said picking up the sleeping kit in her arms.

" We have plenty of time to travel, it's almost six here and we do need to sleep to build up the energy." she said in her motherly tone.

" Feh!" he said. "We need to get going now." He walked over to Sango. "Um Inuyasha, wouldn't do that if I were you." Inuyasha gave her a stare. " I know what I'm doing." he said in his normal snooty tone.

' Oh well, can't say I didn't warn him.' Kagome thought as she cradled Shippo in her arms.

He gently shook Sango out of her sleep. " Sango get up, we have to go." Unfortunately, Sango was dreaming about all those times Miroku flirted with those other girls, so when she woke up to Inuyasha, she took it out on him.

" Miroku! Why you two-timing cheat!" she yelled. She took her boomerang and knocked Inuyasha in the head. Inuyasha yelped and fell to the ground. Kagome almost dropped Shippo when she started laughing. Inuyasha got and rubbed his head. " I don't think that was funny Kagome." Inuyasha yelled.

" Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry Inuyasha." Sango said. "I warned you." Kagome said trying to hold back her laughter. Inuyasha glared daggers at her. That made her stop laughing but the smile still stayed on her face.

Sango sat back at watched as Inuyasha went over to Kagome and helped her to her feet. ' So I see they're not fighting anymore.' she thought happily. But her smile quickly faded when she felt a familiar hand touch. SMACK "Miroku don't you think it's a little early for this!" Miroku kept a smirk on his face. " I can't help myself, you're just so beautiful." Miroku said caressing his cheek. Sango turned a deep shade of pink. " Well what do you know, time to go." Sango said quickly. She ran away from him, and for the first time Miroku actually felt hurt.

They've been traveling for about 2 hours now. Miroku was on top of Kirara with Shippo and Sango, and all that time Miroku didn't lay a hand on her. She was worried about him. ' Is he sick or something?' she thought. She looked back at him. He was deep in his thoughts, at least that's what it looked like. Miroku caught her staring and hadn't said a thing. He just looked back out at the sky. ' I must have done something wrong.' she thought turning around. ' I have to talk to Kagome.'

Meanwhile

Since she'd been on Inuyasha's back for a while Kagome wanted to walk and stretch her legs. She was singing a song to herself called Come by Hamasaki Ayumi.

Moshi ima kanashimi afureru nara
Watashi ni motarete naite ii kara

I get, I get, I get, get the feeling
I get, I get, I get, get the dreaming

Tada kono mama

Come my way
Kono yami no hotori
Come close to me
Ima akari tonoshi
I'll be with you, I'll be with you...
Tada soba ni iru kara

So come my way

Inuyasha smiled. He liked it when she sang, even if he didn't admit it. As a matter of fact there was a lot of things he liked about Kagome that he would never admit, the way she smelled, the way her hair would flow in the wind, they way her eyes glittered whenever she was happy, the peaceful look on her face whenever she was sleeping.

Kagome looked over at him, he looked like he was deep in his thoughts. ' I wonder was he's thinking about.' Without thinking, she gently took Inuyasha's hand in hers. "Penny for you're thoughts?" she said with a light smile. He may love her, but no way was he going to tell her what he was thinking about. Instead he gently gave her hand a squeeze and said "Nothing." she smiled again. 'I'll beat it out of him later.' she thought.

But then her smile faded.

Something felt kind of , off, why was it so quiet? She looked up at Kirara, nothing was out of the ordinary, except Miroku wasn't hitting the floor like usual. 'I should talk to her. I know something's up.'

" Kagome watch out!" she was snapped out of her thoughts when Inuyasha pushed her off to the side. Kagome fell, " Inuyasha what's-" she was about to ask but the giant snake youkai in front of her was a good enough answer. Kirara landed. Shippo, and Miroku, got off and ran over to her.

"Kagome!" Shippo yelled as he jumped in her lap. Miroku helped her to her feet.

She watched as Sango sliced the demon with her boomerang. The demon screeched and brought it's tail around to collide with Sango's body. But a certain monk got in the way. "Sango! Get out of the way!" he yelled as he pushed her. As soon as he did he was hit with the demon's tail and it sent him flying a couple of feet away from her. "Miroku!" she screamed as she ran to him.

" WIND SCAR!" Inuyasha bellowed as the blast sliced through the demon. Kagome ran out of the way as little chunks of the snake demon rained down. Inuyasha ran over to her.

He lightly kissed her cheek. " Are you okay?" he said with worry high in his voice. " I'm fine." she said. She pulled on Inuyasha's haroi. "Inuyasha come on!" she said as she ran over to Sango Shippo and Miroku. Sango was hovering over him, holding his hand. Miroku had a few deep scratches on his face and a broken rib, his shoulder was bleeding through his kimono.

Kagome knelt down next to Sango, who had tears in her eyes. " Miroku.." her tears dropped on his face. Kagome wrapped her arms around her. Miroku winced a little and opened his eyes. " S-sango?" she looked at him. " Miroku! I'm here, speak to me, let me know you'll be alright!" she yelled through her tears. " I-I-love you." Miroku closed his eyes again. Sango cried even harder. " Sango, he doesn't look to bad, he's just unconscious, he'll be fine." Sango lightly kissed him on the cheek and hoped Kagome was right.
