Cripes...
The two looked at each, both worried about what was to come. Pain...Tears...A combination of both maybe? They had no idea, but they were going to find out soon, that's for sure. Cautiously and hesitantly, they approached their sleeping friends. Shippo, well, he'll just scold them or something, Kirara would just mew...But...Kagome and Sango...That's who they had to watch out for.
Nervously, they approached their friends, trying to remain silent as they could as to not wake their friends up pre-maturely. He looked at each other and nodded as they both knelt down, Inu-yasha near Kagome and Miroku near Sango. Slowly, they reached their hands out to wake the two up, but before they even got close, Kagome's and Sango's hands darted out, grabbing the two by the wrists, causing them to yell out in suprise and fall back on their asses. This, obviously, woke Shippo and Kirara up.
"I'm going back to my time Inu-yasha..." Kagome said solemnly as she stood up, looking at Inu-yasha with a glare that rivaled Sesshomaru himself.
"And I'm taking her back to the well," Sango told them as she too stood up. The two pulled their hands away from the girls and nodded, slowly backing away.
"S-sure," Miroku said with a nervous chuckle. Normally, Inu-yasha would've stopped them, but normally, he wouldn't be in a relationship with Miroku, so, he decided to simply stay out of this one as best as he could.
"I'll be gone for a few days," she told them as Kirara transformed into her larger state and the two girls got on her back, Shippo hopping on as well, considering they were going to Kaede's village anyway.
This would leave Inu-yasha and Miroku alone for a bit as they traveled back to the village, which, they were sure to enjoy.
"Inu-yasha...Sit," the miko said simply before they flew off, Inu-yasha plunging straight down into the earth. The monk sighed, not noticing Sango's Hiraikotsu until it struck him in the head, sending him down as well. Luckily, they weren't knocked unconcious and soon regained their composure, standing up and brushing the dirt of their clothes.
"That definitely went better than I'd thought it'd be," Miroku said with a sigh as he jumped onto Inu-yasha's back, catching the hanyou off-guard and almost causing the older man to fall.
"Kagome gets to ride on your back all the time, I thought I should get a turn," he told him, Inu-yasha just smirking and chuckling as he started walking.
"It's a few days to get to the village if we continue at this pace," the hanyou told him, Miroku having no problem with that at all. He simply grabbed his ears and started to rub them gently, causing the hanyou to gasp and moan a bit. "Continue with that...And I'll drop you," he said through gritted teeth as he struggled to keep walking.
"If Naraku knew this was your weakness...We would've been defeated a while ago," Miroku whispered into one of his ears as he removed his hands. Oh, he certainly enjoyed toying with his ears, and it was obvious Inu-yasha felt the same. They were definitely going to have one during the few days they would have to themselves...That is, unless Naraku reared his ugly head.
Inu-yasha was spacing off at the moment, his mind on something, or someone, else. He would love to be with Miroku for the rest of his life...Though...The rest of Miroku's life would be oh too short for them, Inu-yasha being a half-demon after all.
"Inu-yasha? Is something wrong?" Miroku asked.
"No Miroku...N-nothing's wrong..." he answered in a gentle whisper. Oh there was something wrong alright, something they would have to deal with sooner or later. Something that might ruin the little happiness they've had in a long time. For now though, he would enjoy their time together, worry-free and just happy to be with him.
