Sorry for the late chapter but school and other stuff has just been hectic. I know thats not much of an excuss because other students still update but I'm still really really sorry and I hope that I will start updating this story quite often until at least chapter 17 or so to try and get this fanfic done and consentrate on my other one.

oOo Last Time oOo

Spinning around to kick my captors butt as soon as I was released I'm even more frustrated to find her gone, pout. Sigh well I know what has to be done. Getting to the lake I saw that Miroku wasn't there, thank god. Me and Kagome played around, that was fun, when Miroku came into the clearing. Damn, I didn't know he looked so good without his dress, ahem, robe.

Chapter 13 Love

"Talking" 'Thinking' (Note and other)

oOo Normal POV oOo

As soon as Miroku walked into the clearing he and Sango stared at each other. About five minutes of this everyone got bored and went into the water without them. A splash snapped them out of their daze and Sango reminded herself what she had to do. She walked up to Miroku stopping a little in front of him.

"Houshi-sama do you think we could go walk out of demon hearing range and talk?"

"S-sure."

Miroku seemed to more nervous then Sango. He reluctantly followed her. Shippo went to follow them to spy but Kagome stopped him and shook her head. Sango and Miroku stopped beside a large tree when they were far enough away that the demons wouldn't hear them, both fidgeting and looking at the ground before Sango spoke.

"Miroku." Miroku's head snapped up, she never called him Miroku. "You're a perverted letcher that doesn't know when to stop," Miroku flinched, "but, I-I love you."

Miroku's eyes widened and he stared at Sango open mouthed. Sango moved closer but Miroku moved away. Sango looked at him as her heart shattered and tear weld up on her eyes.

"No! It's not like that Sango! When I saw you in the water I desperately wanted to grope you," Sango glared. "and right now I want to hug you and kiss you but the demon told me that if I touch you today you will die!"

Sango looked confused until she realized what most likely happened and why so she smiled at Miroku and nodded. They both left to go back to the lake feeling extremely happy and not needing to say any words. They got back to see everyone already dressed and ready to go.

"Were we rally that long?"

Kagome smiled at her and shrugged titling her head to the fuming Inu Yasha. Sango nodded and giggled while Miroku chuckled.

"We'll just go change then."

Sango and Miroku went in different directions and came back a few minutes later ready to go. On the road again everyone was in their own thoughts making it extremely quite, even when they stopped for the night no one said much.

During the night Inu Yasha woke up to Kagome thrashing in her sleep. He looked down at her and his eyes softened but as soon as he heard her whimper out his name he jumped down beside her, moved Shippo to Sango, and brought her to sleep in the tree with him. Soon she settled down and Inu Yasha fell asleep once again, this time holding Kagome.

/Dream/

Kouga opened his blue eyes to see blackness all around him.

"I could give you the girl." A female voice said out of the blackness.

"Who are you!"

Kouga shielded his eyes when a light filled the blackness. When he could see again he saw a woman standing beside a struggling Kagome chained to an invisible roof.

"Let me go!" Kagome yelled struggling in her chains more.

The woman standing beside her scowled.

"Shut up!"

The woman went in front of Kagome and slapped her before turning back to Kouga.

"Inu Yasha." Kagome pitifully whimpered.

Kouga's eyes softened as he looked at Kagome then hardened as he looked at the unknown woman.

"You can't give me Kagome, she is her own person and doesn't belong to you, and I would never take her unless she wanted me too and I know she doesn't."

"NO!" The woman punched an invisible wall before another bright light filled the dream and Kagome and Kouga went into a peacefully sleep without dreams.

oOo Kagome's POV, Morning oOo

As usual I'm the fist up. Though for some reason today I have more warmth then I usually do, was high off the ground, and had arms wrapped around me….wait…rewind, pause. Off the ground with arms around me? O.o After tensing my morning clogged brain told me to turn around, which I did, only to see Inu Yasha. I sigh in relief and snuggle closer to him when, SNAP o.O . Wait, tree, branch, snap. Tree, branch, s..n..a..p.. O.O . Oh Kami. I slowly turned my head to face Inu Yasha, eyes still wide. I poke him in the side and watch as his eyes slowly open. He looked at me confused but all I could squeak out was "Snap". I swear I'm jinxed or cursed or something because guess what, when I said snap, guess what happened. THE TREE BRANCH SNAPPED sending us plummeting to the ground. Luckily Inu Yasha fully woke up during this and got us safely out of harms way. The tree branch woke everyone up and they all saw me in Inu Yasha's arms. Thank Kami they were just waking up and thought that Inu Yasha saved me since my sleeping bag was where the branch fell and didn't take into account Shippo was with Sango.

Miroku must be making up for lost time because he has groped Sango this morning more then usual. I don't know how he has managed to gain consciousness so quickly every time, it must be a family secret or something. Hmm I wonder why he didn't grope Sango yesterday, I'll have to get Sango to tell me what happened during their talk later. Sighing I walk over to Inu Yasha. This is definitely no something I'm looking forward to.
