--Bubbles--
Miroku lay on his back, blowing bubble after bubble from the strange hoop Kagome had brought. Shippo ran frantically around the clearing, chasing the airy bubbles and popping them with one tiny paw. Sango sat against a tree, polishing the hikarotsu. Kilala was stretched out sleepily in the sun, enjoying the warmth. Inuyasha was in a tree somewhere, after Kagome had gone stomping off to her time (again).
Lifting the wand once more, Miroku sent another rosy-hued globe floating through the air, gleaming in the sunlight. And off it went, spinning over towards the trees. Lazily, it made its way over to Sango, balancing for an instant on the tip of her nose before popping, sending the soapy water into her wide eyes.
With a shriek the tajiya dropped the boomerang, hands flying to her abused eyes. Miroku jumped to his feet, rushing over to kneel beside her. "Shh," he said softly, pulling her hands away. "Let me see." She blinked up at him, eyes bright and full of tears.
His eyes widened, and the breath caught in his throat.
