Note: I briefly forgot about Miroku and Sango so here is their official entrance into the story.

Chapter 8

In the Feudal Era

At dawn Sango walked out of Kieda's hut to search for a hot spring to bathe and to visit Kohaku's grave. After ten years of being Naraku's puppet he could finally rest in piece. The day that Kagome sent a sacred arrow through Naraku and killed him, all his incarnations and dead puppets died. Sango found a spring about twenty feet away from the hut. It was less than two seconds after she took her close off that Miroku came around a bush looking for her.

"Ah. There you are. I thought I might find you taking a bath." His eyes twinkled as they over Sango's backside as she jumped into the hot spring annoyed.

"Miroku," she said through clenched teeth, "what do you want? I am trying to take a bath." she eyed him with disdain. She had slid down to the neck in the hot spring water and was very tempted to go farther.

" I just wanted to tell you," he smiled, "that Inuyasha is back." Sango nearly leaped out of the tub but stopped herself as she remembered who was standing in front of her.

" There back!? Already? I thought they were staying in her time for a week?" She reached out of the tub for he Kimono and Miroku got a much better look at her backside than she would have liked. Realizing she was still naked she said, " Turn around. And if I catch you peeking I swear..."

As Sango put on her kimono Miroku said, " Kagome is not with him. They had a fight and she stayed in her time."

"What has he done now,"she mumbled under her breath.

As they walked back to the hut Miroku tried to grab her; she let him. This had been going on ever since Kagome and Inuyasha had gotten married. Miroku would flirt and Sango would let him. He asked (as usual), "Will you bare my children?" He braced himself for the slap that he was sure would come next. Instead she said, " Yes."

"Was that a 'yes'," he asked stupefied.

" It was, but you have to marry me first."

"My dear Sango I would love to." The rest of the way to the hut they were silent and content.

Back at the hut Inuyasha sat and waited for Miroku to return with Sango so he could tell them what had happened and that Kagome wasn't coming back. When they rounded the corner he stood up and promptly fell back down. They're holding hands, he thought. Now I've seen everything. "So," he said, " you finally did it."

"Actually," Sango stated, " I finally did it. He," she said looking at her new fiancé, "just asked me to bare his children. I said yes."

Miroku pulled Sango close to him and kissed. "So what happened with you and Kagome? Why isn't she here with you?" He was basically asking, 'inuyasha what have you done?', but he couldn't say that part out loud.

"She's not coming back. I called her something unforgivable and she almost sat me to death."

"It can't have been that bad," Sango said, optimistically. "What did you call her, I'm sure she'll forgive you if you apologize." Then she added, "For once."

"No she wont because I called her Kikyo," he stated blandly.

"What! Inuyasha, how could you." Then she turned her gaze on Miroku. "If you ever call me by another woman's name you'll be dead. Got it!" It wasn't a question. He nodded, afraid to talk. "Now back to you! How could you call your wife and your mate by your ex-lover's name? Inuyasha, what's wrong with you?!"

" I guess I'm just too stupid for love, because when she was trying to forgive me, I blew up at her." His eyes were on the ground.

"Why would you blow up at her, you're the idiot that put your foot in your mouth?"

"She cheated on me," he whispered so low that neither of his friends heard him. " What." "I said," Inuyasha yelled, " that she cheated on me. I found her in the arms of another man." Miroku and Sango were left with their mouths wide open. Inuyasha didn't wait for a response or their pity. He took off towards the Sacred Tree, where he and Kagome had first met; where Kagome had saved him from never living and only sleep for eternity.
