Chapter 6: The Beginning To A Beautiful Relationship
"Wow Kagome seemed really mad." Said Sango.
"Yes, something tells me Inuyasha took it to far this time." Replied Miroku.
"Why does Inuyasha always have to hurt Kagome's feelings?" Asked Shippo innocently.
"Why indeed." Answered Miroku.
"If you ask me I think Kagome should tell Inuyasha how she feels when he does this stuff." Responded Sango.
"What do you mean Sango?" Questioned Shippo.
"What she means is Kagome should tell Inuyasha that when he runs off to find Kikyo it hurts her feelings," Said Miroku, "Isn't that right Sango?"
"Huh? Oh yes." Responded Sango.
"Sango what's the matter you seem troubled?" Asked Miroku.
"Oh it's nothing, I'm fine. I was just thinking, let's go we can rest under that tree near the river." Replied Sango.
"Good idea, we can rest and regain our strength there." Answered Miroku.
As they began to walk Miroku moved closer to Sango and clasped his hand in hers, as his heart began to race and he prepared to be slapped but his heart suddenly calmed when Sango did nothing. When he looked at her she just smiled at him and he smiled back in relief. Shippo, who was now well aware of what was going on, just giggled quietly and continued to eat his lollipop. When they reached the tree Shippo ran over to the lakeside and sat down watching the scenery, while Miroku and Sango sat down in the cool shading of the tree. Miroku then had an idea, if Sango had aloud him to hold her hand maybe he could cuddle with her under the tree. As he slowly inched closer to Sango he looked at her to make sure he was not to anger her, but every time he looked toward her she just smiled and said nothing. After a few minutes had passed he was finally sitting beside her and yet she said or did nothing. He looked at her one last time and then looked off into the distance in concentration. His concentration was broken when he felt something slide around his neck and tickle his back, then stop at his shoulder. When he looked he realized it was only Sango's arm.
'Wait a minute! Back up! It was what? Sango's arm?' Miroku thought, he had to be dreaming but everything looked so real so how was he to tell? That's when he got an idea….
"Sango" Miroku said glancing at her.
"Yes Miroku?" Sango asked.
"Could you slap me?" Miroku questioned.
"What! Why? You've done nothing wrong," Sango replied back in shock.
"That's the problem; I think I'm dreaming, I have to be! Either that or I did something wrong!" Miroku responded in a disbelieving voice.
Sango laughed and cuddled into him more, "Silly Monk," She whispered. "Your not dreaming and you've done nothing wrong."
"But if I'm not dreaming and did nothing wrong, then why did you allow me to hold your hand and sit around you and now your arm is around my shoulders and any other time this only happens if it's my doing. So please explain what didn't I do wrong and how aren't I dreaming?" Miroku gasped for air and tried to slow his heartbeat.
Sango smiled at him knowing the perfect explanation that would calm him, "Because, I love you Miroku. Now stop asking questions and kiss me." Sango said grasping Miroku in a long and luscious romantic kiss.
