Thanks Wolfie

Several seconds of silence passed, the only sounds, breathing and Kagome, managing to keep most of her tears in. Slowly, she turned her gaze towards the hanyou. She took a deep breath, all of them knew what was going to happen and they all covered their ears. Kagome screamed out the most loudest "Sits" she ever screamed, every one of them pulling Inu-yasha deeper into the earth. This seemed to go on for about...a minute or so before the young girl had to catch her breath.

Inu-yasha, several feet below his companions, didn't even so much as twitch. He was unconcious. 'Lucky him...' Miroku thought as he started to back away from Sango, knowing that he would soon join Inu-yasha in being unconcious. "Mi...Ro...KU!" Sango shouted as she charged the monk, tears in her eyes. He gulped, putting his hands in front of his body, not wanting to recieve the whole force of the attack. The enraged taijiya hit Miroku only one time...The hardest she's ever hit anyone, friend or foe alike, knocking him out instantly. He fell to the ground with a thud, his staff falling beside him with a jingle.

Everyone simply walked away from them, their companions tlo set up camp, and Koga...well, he followed to be Koga and try to talk Kagome into becoming his mate. It seemed as though hours passed before the two started to stir into conciousness. Though concious, they didn't move from where they were, afraid that if the girls found out they were awake...Well, let's just say they wouldn't stay awake for long.

After a few more hours, when they were sure that everyone was asleep, they both slowly helped themselves up, Miroku leaning on Inu-yasha for support, both of them still in pain.

"What now?" he asked with a groan as he rubbed his head.

"Let's...let's sleep somewhere else..." the hanyou suggested with a sigh, the monk nodding, suprised when the older man picked him up in his arms and jumped into a tree. He sat down, Miroku sitting in his lap.

"There's a bright side to this ya know..." Miroku said softly as he looked to Inu-yasha.

"Yeah, what?" he asked.

"Well...Now that everyone knows about us...We really don't have to hide anything..." the monk answered with a grin as he traced circles on the hanyou's chest with his finger, soon leaning in and taking Inu-yasha's soft lips in his own. Their eyes slowly closed, simply the moment as their lips slowly parted.

"What you do to me monk..." Inu-yasha said with a chuckle as he kissed the side of Miroku's mouth.

The human simply smirked as he curled up in Inu-yasha's lap, holding him closely as he wrapped his arms around the younger man. They knew they would have to deal with everything tomorrow and probably a lot more of being unconcious as well, but for now, they could just be together and actually be happy for once. It wasn't long before they were both asleep, the other man's warmth calming them down greatly, letting them drift to sleep much easier than they would usually have.

Inu-yasha woke up earlier than everyone else, a smile on his face as he saw Miroku in his arms. With him, he's slept the most peaceful sleep he's had in ages, even though it wasn't all that long. The monk lay there in his arms, a peaceful look on his face. "Beautiful..." he said softly as he brushed the hair out of his face, Miroku stirring a bit when his claws touched his face. He was glad that Miroku didn't wake up, he wanted to admire the monk's features a bit more while they had time. An idea soon came to mind for a pleasant wake-up call and he couldn't help to smile. Slowly, he leaned down and pressed his lips against the sleeping monk.

Miroku's eyes slowly fluttered open, certainly suprised to see and feel the gorgeous hanyou kissing him. He was all too happy to return the kiss, his arms wrapping around his neck as he traced Inu-yasha's lips with his tongue, parting his lips and exploring the hanyou's mouth with his tongue, him tasting absolutely delicious to him.

Inu-yasha pulled away too soon for the both of them. Though he was sure that they would be together and it was certain that they couldn't go back to Kagome and Sango, he was still a bit un-sure about himself and Miroku.

"Inu-yasha?" he said softly as he looked up to him, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing Miroku, don't worry about it," he answered, smiling a bit so Miroku would think nothing is actually wrong. He hesitantly nodded and planted a gentle kiss on the hanyou's cheek.

"If you say so..." Miroku said as he reached up to rub the older man's ears, just loving how soft they were. Inu-yasha moaned a bit, his ears twitching because of the younger man's touch. This went on for a bit, Miroku adding a kiss here or there, a nip and nibble, though, always careful not to hurt Inu-yasha, Inu-yasha careful not to wake everyone up. When Miroku decided Inu-yasha had had enough, he stopped and jumped down from the tree, Inu-yasha doing the same. They held each other's hand as they walked towards the monk's staff, him picking it up. Judgement day now, they would wake everyone up and when that happened, they'd see if they would continue, or spend a day being unconcious.
