Chapter 7 Happy
Inuyasha was the first to wake, with Kagome still sleeping in his lap. Inuyasha had his arms around Kagome's waist protectively. The girl moved more into his arms to the point where she was cuddled into his chest, without waking up.
Miroku was the second out of bed with Sango only a few inches away from him. All he wanted to do was move Sango into his arms, but his self-preservation instincts kicked in and he knew that she would slap him silly. Sango started to wake up and she opened her eyes to see Miroku. Flushed, she quickly closed her eyes, letting a blush cover her hot face. "Good morning Sango; how was the sleep?" Miroku asked a very blushing Sango.
"The sleep was fine thank you. What about you; Did you sleep well?" Sango replied.
Sesshomaru awoke with all the talking that was occurring. He sat up and walked over to Sango, the sleeping Rin still snoring away. "Can you take her? I need to walk around my Lands."
"Sure." Sango took the girl from Sesshomaru's arms and laid her down in her bed, making sure the girl was warm.
"Sango, I'll be going to the river to get water for breakfast," Miroku said.
Sango nodded. "Ok, thanks Miroku. I'll get some wood to start a fire and wake up everybody else."
Miroku walked into the forest to do his task. Sango made sure Rin was comfortable and then got up to wake up her friends. "Hey! Wake up Shippo; its morning. Can you help me get some firewood?" The kitsune obviously didn't want to get out of bed so Sango moved on to Inuyasha and Kagome's tree. "Hey Inuyasha! You awake up there?" Sango called from below the tree.
Inuyasha held Kagome close and jumped from the tree, landing beside a surprised Sango. The woman jumped, as she didn't see Inuyasha coming down. Sango looked at the sleeping Kagome and said, "You can put her with Shippo if you don't want to wake her now."
Inuyasha walked over to where Shippo was and laid her down beside him, trying not to wake her. He moved her hair behind her ear and leaned in, kissing her on top of the head. Shippo automatically moved into Kagome's body, while the girl moved her arms around Shippo subconsciously. Rin started to shake from a sudden chill and Sango picked her up and set her on the other side of Kagome. Seeking out the younger girl's body warmth, Kagome wrapped her other arm around Rin.
Inuyasha looked down at her, smiling. "She has a wonderful heart." He whispered softly.
-Back with Kagura-
Kagura made it back to Naraku's castle and walked into Kanna's room. "So what has Naraku been up to?" she asked her sister sarcastically; why did she care anyway? "Do you know when he's going to attack? I've told Inuyasha and Sesshomaru about Naraku's plans of taking Kagome. But I never told them the real reason why he wants her. I'm hoping I never have to tell them. I hope Naraku never does get her." She whispered the last part softly.
Kanna looked up at Kagura and nodded. "Naraku is Human."
Kagura turned around quickly. "Really? This is perfect! I should go to Inuyasha and Sesshomaru and report this right away before he gets any stronger." With that Kagura ran out of the castle, pulled a feather out of her hair and jumped on it heading back to Inuyasha and his friends.
-With Miroku and Sango-
After waking up Inuyasha, Sango walked towards the river where Miroku was gathering water for breakfast. She walked into the clearing and saw Miroku in the river bathing. The monk heard somebody coming, so he turned and saw Sango. A lecherous grin formed on his face. "So Sango you have decided to join me at last," Miroku said jokingly to a very blushing Sango.
"NO! I came here to help gather the water for breakfast. Inuyasha went hunting for meat," Sango said, moving her hands to her flushed face.
"Then why are you still looking my dear Sango?" Miroku teased. "If you want, you can join me. I promise not to touch unless you say so."
"No thank you Miroku; I bathed yesterday." With that Sango turned around, intent on heading back to camp.
"Wait Sango!" Miroku called out, making her stop her trek. "Please don't go. I need to talk with you." He moved to the river's bank where the water was only up to his hips.
Sango turned around and when she saw the water level, she turned ten shades of pink. "Ok. Talk Miroku, but don't come any closer." she said without her voice choking. The monk got his thoughts in order before beginning his explanation.
-With Inuyasha-
Inuyasha first tried to wait for Sesshomaru to return to camp before leaving to hunt. He wanted him or Sesshomaru with Kagome at all times; with a demon watching her, no other demon would try and claim her or take her away. The hanyou ran into the forest; he wanted to get this over with. In his mind, the faster he hunts, the faster he could return back to Kagome. He waited and waited before he finally left to hunt. After his capture, he walked slowly back to camp carrying his prize meal.
-Back with Sango and Miroku-
"Sango, I have something to I need to tell you. You may or may not like it but I need you to hear it," Miroku said to the now nervous Sango. He took a deep breath. "Sango, I love you. Will you marry me?" Sango looked at Miroku and screamed.
-Back with Inuyasha-
Inuyasha was making his way back to camp when he heard a scream. Immediately, he thought it was Kagome and took off running to camp. When he made it back, nobody was there. Kagome, Shippo, Rin, and Sesshomaru all took off into the forest to see why Sango screamed. Inuyasha followed Kagome's scent into the forest. When he made it to the river, all he saw was Sango hugging Miroku in the river, crying.
