lostmoonchild: Okay, thanks for the review . Here's chapter twenty seven and it's for all you Sango/Miroku lovers out there since Sango and Miroku need some time. Anyway, I don't own Inuyasha or anything else unless I say otherwise.

Chapter Twenty Seven

The warm fire crackled gently and the flames danced uncontrollably as Sango and Miroku sat, watching quietly. Shippo was sleeping, curled up so he was holding onto his tail. While the kids were sleeping before they separated, Kagome told them that Shippo would probably hold onto his tail, that most demon children if they had tails held onto them if they were separated from their parents or were afraid. Sometimes both.

"We'll rescue Kohaku." Miroku said snapping Sango from her thoughts.

"I know." Sango said softly. "I wish Kagome-chan was able to tell us what would happen. So we know if we'll defeat Naraku for real and if we'll be able to live normal lives."

"But she can't. Most likely she doesn't know what happens because the Gods don't wish for her to learn." Miroku answered. "But from what we've already seen, things have gotten better."

Sango nodded and looked at Shippo. "She's lucky. Only eighteen and already has two children. More if you count the ones she cares for in her era." Sango said.

"You'd like a child, wouldn't you?"

"Yes." Sango said remembering her almost foster son. She had been so close to adopting a child then somebody went insane and killed him. Kagome had told her she could try again and when she was ready that she'd bring along pictures and folders to show her. But right now, she just wasn't ready.

Miroku rested a hand on Sango's hand before saying, "If you'd be willing to allow me, Lady Sango, I could help you with gaining a child."

Miroku honestly expected to be slapped for even offering, but he was surprised when Sango didn't even raise her hand to slap him. She just stared at the fire looking as if she was considering Miroku's offer. "That'd be… nice." Sango said after a few minutes.

Now he was even more surprised. Sango actually accepted his offer. Was it because she was still grieving the child she almost became a mother to or was it because she really wanted a child with him? "Because I love you." Sango said suddenly.

"You can read minds?" Miroku asked looking surprised.

"You're talking out loud, silly." Sango said with a laugh.

Miroku grinned a little and leaned towards her a little before claiming her lips. Sango's eyes closed as she responded, wrapping her arms around Miroku's neck in an attempt to get her closer to her. A small yawn reminded them that Shippo was with them and that they would have to wait until another time for their romances. "Thanks, Miroku." Sango said.

"For what?"

"Making me feel better. You're pretty good, you know that, right?"

"Didn't know."

Sango smiled and nestled against Miroku, smiling when the monk wrapped his arms around her. "Well, now you do."

Smiling softly, the two watched the fire unaware of the green eyes that were watching with interest.
