Chapter Thirty-Eight:
Drunk Off Her Ass....
As Kagome and Miroku came down stairs, Sesshomaru approached.
Miroku backed up a step at the movement. Snaking his arm around her
waist, Sesshomaru pulled her towards him. The action did not go
unnoticed, nor did Kagome's reaction. Miroku was a bit surprised to
say the least. Looking past the couple, he locked eyes with Sango.
To his delight, she blushed prettily and averted her eyes. Suddenly
he felt eyes on the back of his neck. Turning he found cold amber
eyes, watching him expectantly.
"My Lord, I welcome you to your new lands," Miroku said, bowing at
the waist to Sesshomaru.
"Gather the people of this land. They are to swear loyalty to this
Sesshomaru before the week's end," Sesshomaru commanded in
response.
Kagome looked away in anger, her cheeks flushing.
"Of course my Lord,"
"You will escort this Sesshomaru to Lord Sarinji and Lord
Yamiko,"
"Yes, my Lord," Miroku said a bit nervously.
He was not used to being around such a being. He was demanding and
threatening all at once. He was used to and much preferred Kagome's
gentle yet stern demeanor.
Not that it mattered. Sesshomaru was here to stay. Miroku lead the
group into the meeting room. It was a large, exquisitely decorated
room. The floors were polished to perfection, a large oak desk sat
in the middle of the spacious room. The large floor length windows
were open, letting the bright sunlight stream through. Lord
Sarinji, General Ensei and Lord Yamiko sat talking quietly amongst
each other.
"My Lords, Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Kagome have arrived," Miroku
announced.
The conversation suddenly ceased as the party of five entered the
room.
General Ensei took in a breath. That was her. There was no doubt
about it. He could now see why his friend had been so captivated,
why he was still so captivated. She was beautiful. More so, she
positively glowed from the inside out. One had the feeling that a
Goddess had just entered the room. And next to that Goddess stood
the very essence of the Devil.
He looked over at Sarinji.
His attention was completely centered on her.
His gaze so intense, focused. Ensei had never seen him so ensnared.
To be honest, it scared him. Sarinji was not the obsessive type.
What was it about this woman that made him act this way? And how
could he put an end to it before Sarinji did something he would
regret?
Lord Sesshomaru was not a male that would allow another male to
openly covet his mate. He knew that for a fact. But he also knew
that Sarinji listened to no one but Sarinji. He would have to keep
his friend from making a fool of himself, even more so, keep him
from death at the hands of Lord Sesshomaru.
Yamiko watched her carefully, looking for any hint of repugnance of
his face when she looked at him. So far, he saw none. That didn't
mean she wasn't hiding how she felt. He watched as she walked over
to one of the chairs and took a seat, Sesshomaru close behind.
Yamiko's brow lowered over his eyes in irritation. He already had
her; did he have to be so close to her like that?
His eyes softened. She had gotten so beautiful. If his face hadn't
been scarred, would she have chosen him? Would it be him that was
following her so closely? Would it be his markings gracing her face
and body? Until he got her alone and asked her, he could only
wonder.
Suddenly he locked eyes with familiar amber eyes.
His eyes narrowed.
InuYasha.
Amber eyes narrowed at him as well. Cheeky bastard, wait till he
got his hands on that arrogant mutt. InuYasha turned his head away
in a huff. Yamiko rolled his eyes.
Once everyone was introduced to each other and seated, Sesshomaru
began.
"Another amulet has been recovered, and one of the members of the
Evil Six has been eliminated."
"Do you know where the next amulet is located?" General Ensei
asked.
Sesshomaru looked over at Kagome on his right. Everyone turned to
Kagome. She shook her head.
"I haven't had any visions as of yet. So far I've made contact with
the spirit guardian of the amulet, she told me many things but she
doesn't know where the next amulet is located."
"What did she tell you?" asked Miroku.
Sesshomaru was interested in knowing what she had said as well.
Thought she had been sad last night and he had been able to cheer
her up, she had neglected to tell him why Rykotsu had killed her
parents. Sated from the rutting last night, he had not bothered to
ask her. Kagome looked down, a sad look on her face. She twiddled
her hands.
"About….my parent's death," she said.
Miroku and Sango gasped.
At everyone else's confused look, Miroku explained.
"Kagome's parents were murdered years ago, but we've never been
able to figure out who did it and why."
That explained why she had been so sad the night before.
"Did she tell you who did it?" Sango asked.
Kagome nodded.
"Mother and father were killed by Rykotsu,"
"You're certain?" Miroku asked in shock.
Kagome nodded.
"But why? Why would he do such a thing?" Sango asked.
"Rykotsu had been part of the Evil Six long before he ever met me.
Centuries before. When the Evil Six was captured, Vishious was
imprisoned inside the Emerald Moon. The jewel was entrusted to the
priestesses and once the priestess protecting the jewel died, it
was passed on to the next strongest priestess. Eventually, it found
its way to my mother."
"But if you mother was a priestess, how did she become the Lady of
the Northern lands? It is forbidden for a priestess to bare a child
and continue to be a priestess," Ensei said.
"My mother gave up being a priestess after she met my father,"
"What happened to the jewel? When a priestess is assigned to the
task of protecting something she cannot be released from that
responsibility unless she dies or the item she is protecting has
been destroyed," Sarinji inquired.
"Mother absorbed the jewel into herself, and tried to purify
it."
"Such a thing is not prohibited. It is strictly forbidden to do
such a thing," Ensei said.
"I'm sure mother knew that, but she wanted to be an ordinary woman.
She wanted to be with my father."
"But she failed ne?" Sarinji asked.
Kagome nodded.
"She couldn't purify it; she was only able to split it in two. She
thought by keeping it inside of her, when she died the jewel would
cease to exist. She had given instructions to have her body burned
when she died. But the day I was born, and she looked into my eyes,
she knew."
"Knew what?" InuYasha asked.
Kagome sighed, "That the jewel had become my eyes."
"Your eyes?" Miroku asked in surprise.
"Is the Emerald Moon still in your eyes?" Sango asked.
Kagome shook her head.
"When Vishious was set free, the jewel had to be taken from my
eyes. The jewel no longer exists. After mother found out about my
eyes, she created the amulets and approached Elder Toramaru with
one of the amulets. She sealed spirits within the amulets to help
guide me to the other amulets. Rykotsu was ordered by Vishious to
retrieve the jewel from my eyes. He killed mother and father in
order to get to me. He was supposed to kill me and retrieve the
jewels."
"Why didn't he?" Yamiko asked.
Kagome shrugged, still twiddling her fingers.
"I don't know why he didn't. Instead of killing me he took care of
me, became my General. There was something else she told me. She
said that once the sword was found, the man that is destined to
wield the sword would rise, that he would bring order back to
Japan."
"Who is this person?" Ensei asked.
"I don't know. She didn't say. And I've no idea who he is."
"So until you have another vision, we must wait?" General Ensei
asked.
"Yes, General, we must wait."
The celebration was on its way. The Great Hall had been decorated
lavishly in different hues of blue and white. Hundreds of candles
lit up the spacious room, reflecting off of the freshly polished
floor, and two large buffets lined two sides of the room. Most of
the guests in the room were that of the upper class; Overseers,
wealthy merchants, etc, while only a few of the middle class and
even less of the lower class had been able to take time out of
their day to attend the celebration.
The new Lord of the Northern lands had been in residence a mere six
days and already had made his presence felt. By organizing this
event, he had gathered the wealthy in order to secure their
allegiance. He had secured the loyalty of the lower class in the
last three days by visiting each and every village, with his
somewhat irritated mate, and demanding allegiance.
None had been foolish enough to nay say him.
This event was gain the loyalty of the rest of the Northern people.
Sitting upon a throne with his dark haired vixen of a mate seated
beside him, Lord Sesshomaru made quite the statement. As the event
rolled onto its second hour, the guests began to gather in front of
the royal couple.
A green imp carrying a two headed staff waddled over to Lord
Sesshomaru and Lady Kagome.
Having had to secure his own way here, Jaken had arrived two days
earlier, via hitch hiking on the main road to Kagome's great
annoyance. He and Kagome seemed to rub each other the wrong way. As
he stood in front of them to address the crowd, Kagome's eyes
narrowed at his little body. He was the biggest pain in the ass she
had ever met in her entire life. She was damn sure Sesshomaru felt
the same way. She often wondered why he didn't just get rid of the
little troll.
Jaken was good at organizing things on very short notice, such as
this event, but she was sure that there was someone out there that
could do the same and wasn't half as bothersome as he was.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please turn your attention to me. It is time
to swear fealty to Lord Sesshomaru," Jaken squawked loudly.
Kagome cringed.
It was still hard to hear that she was no longer their Lady. She
was still their Lady but not in the way that it mattered. She could
no longer make decisions regarding this land. These were her people
still, but they could no longer turn to her when there was an
issue. They would look to Sesshomaru from now own.
It hurt to know that.
The crowd quieted as they gathered.
"Gather all and come swear your loyalty to the honorable,
respected, favored, amazing-"
"Jaken," Sesshomaru warned, eyes narrowed.
He was in a relatively good mood; he would not let Jaken irritate
him today.
Jaken began to perspire, his eyes bugging out.
"Y-yes my Lord," Jaken cleared his throat, "Please line up and
swear your loyalty to Lord Sesshomaru as the new Lord of the
Northern lands."
The crowd lined up and one by one, swore complete loyalty to Lord
Sesshomaru. Kagome clenched her fists and looked away. Her heart
was aching. What was worst was that some of them seemed happy to
swear loyalty but a few looked her way with compassionate
understanding. Once it was over, Kagome took a breath, ready to
leave the party for a while.
Before she could make a quick exit, a servant walked over, carrying
a silver tray with wine and a single cup.
Another formality. They would be expected share the goblet as a
symbol of unity. Basically the gesture was say that Kagome as well
was swearing her loyalty to Sesshomaru. Kagome inwardly sighed.
"A drink for my Lord and my Lady?" the servant inquired with a
bow.
Sesshomaru inclined his head and took the goblet from the tray. The
servant poured a healthy amount of Demon Blood into the cup.
Sesshomaru took a sip before passing it over to Kagome. The entire
room seemed to be holding its breath as she took the cup. Even
Sesshomaru watched to see what she would do. Would she drink and
swear loyalty? Or would she refuse? Kagome sighed again and pressed
her lips to the goblet, tipping the red liquid into her mouth,
swallowing more than she intended to. The liquid was smooth and
surprisingly sweet.
As the crowd clapped, Kagome felt her head swim.
The liquid quickly spread through her limbs. Eyes widening, Kagome
took another, deeper gulp of the liquid. Again the effect of the
liquid was amazing. Tipping the cup again, she polished off the
rest. Kagome looked down at the empty cup with a hiccup.
Sesshomaru took the cup from her hands, silver brow raised.
Kagome turned her head away.
"I'm going take a breather from the banquet," she said before
standing and making her way towards the glass double doors leading
outside, snagging a rather large goblet of Demon Blood from the
buffet table on her way out.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes as a dark figure followed her out.
Kagome took a deep gulp of the liquid, downing the alcohol quickly.
Her head swam again in a delightful way. She stumbled a bit as she
walked through the garden. She felt wonderful, light and carefree;
too tipsy to notice she was being followed. She walked along the
shrubs for a few moments, looking at the colors of the flowers that
seemed enhanced and vivid all of a sudden. The earth seemed to
shift, Kagome reached out to a nearby tree to steady herself. Once
the spinning stopped, Kagome giggled and continued on.
"How are you, my Lady?" a voice said from behind her.
Kagome turned, stumbling again.
Sarinji reached out, steadying her. Kagome looked up at him with a
smile.
"Lord Slarinji! Howw art you?" she slurred, throwing her arms
around his neck the large goblet falling from her hand.
Sarinji wrapped his arms around her neck, not sure what to do with
her. She was obviously intoxicated. She'd probably drank one too
many cups of Demon Blood. Demon Blood was not something a newly
turned human should drink too much of until they had developed a
stomach for it. It was extremely potent, even for older youkai.
One glass was the equivalent of four bottles of human liquor.
Setting her back, he looked down at her, running his thumb across
her red wet lips. She was even more beautiful that before. Dressed
in a silken blue kimono that was loose enough not to be improper,
and yet shifted over her curves in a delectable way. Her hair was
free and curled down her back, a touch of blue eye shadow the only
makeup on her face.
He felt his blood begin to boil. She did strange things to him,
this goddess like woman.
"You seem to be quite intoxicated, my Lady," he said softly, his
eyes on her lush lips.
Kagome's brows rose comically high in surprise.
"Dol I Llord Sarnji?" she asked.
Sarinji smiled.
"Aye, my Lady. Very much so,"
"Ohhhhhh," she said blinking up at him.
"How much have you had to drink my Lady?"
"Ummmm…."
Kagome looked down at her hands, counting all ten of her fingers
once and then again. Finally she held up one finger on each
hand.
"This many," she said proudly.
"I see," he said with a smile, "My Lady, if you've had two cups of
Demon Blood-"
"No, no, no. Not two, thish many!" Kagome said with a huff, holding
up her fingers in his face.
"Yes, yes my Lady. Two. You are holding up two fingers, therefore
you've had two cups of Demon Blood,"
Kagome blinked at her hands.
"Kaaaaay," she said looking up at him once more.
"Now, as I was saying. If you've had two cups of Demon Blood, you
are more than tipsy. You are highly intoxicated, and should not be
wandering around alone out here,"
"I had to come!" Kagome said waving her arms around.
Turning, she clumsily paced away.
"And why is that, my Lady?"
"My pleople all swearss lolyalty to he!" Kagome exclaimed in a
burst of anger, as suddenly as the energy came, it drained, "I'm
not thhe Llady no more,"
"I see," he said gently caressing her arm, "This must be very
upsetting for you, ne?"
Kagome nodded.
She smiled up at him, stepping closer to him. In doing so, she
tripped over her own two feet. Sarinji grabbed a hold of her waist,
holding her steady. Heat rushed down to his dick. His hands
caressed her slim waist, seemingly of their own accord. Kagome
looked up at him, confusion shinning through her honey eyes. The
twin cinnamon orbs seemed to capture him, drawing him in. Lush lips
invitingly soft and plump.
His arm tightened around her waist, pulling her close, his other
hand reaching up to grasp her chin. Her body was incredibly warm
and so damn soft against his own. She felt right in his arms.
He had to stop…
He leaned down slowly, his lips a breath from hers.
He couldn't stop….
Just a taste….
Just one…..
Small taste…
"That is enough Sarinji," a voice said from behind him.
Sarinji slowly pulled back, cursing that voice. Still in his arms,
Kagome bent around Sarinji to see the new comer. She smiled, waving
drunkenly.
"Hiiiii Generoll Enseiis!"
General Ensei was shocked to say the least. He had thought he had
walked in on a secret tryst between Sarinji and Lady Kagome.
Judging from her slurred speech, and overly cheerful disposition,
he could only draw the conclusion that Sarinji had just taken
advantage of an intoxicated female. It was almost too hard for him
to believe. But from the attitude Sarinji had developed due to his
contact with that woman, it was not so far fetched.
"Lady Kagome, allow me to escort you back to the celebration,"
General Ensei said, his tone booking no argument.
"Awww," Kagome said with a pout, but none the less detangled
herself from Lord Sarinji.
"Bye, bye," She said to Lord Sarinji as she clumsily stumbled down
the path back to the banquet.
General Ensei turned to follow.
"If you would wait here for me here, Sarinji, I would have words
with you upon my return," he said before following after
Kagome.
Sarinji sighed, and took a seat on a nearby bench. Pinching the
bridge of his nose, he squeezed his eyes shut, trying to beat down
the lust racking his body. To no avail, he could still feel her
body pressed against his own. Could feel her soft curves in his
hands, her lush red lips pouted and welcoming. He let out another
breath.
Gods that woman got to him.
"Just what do you think you are doing, Sarinji?" Ensei asked
sternly.
Opening his eyes, he looked up at the dark sky.
"I truly do not know. I cannot seem to control myself around
her,"
"You cannot seem to control yourself," Ensei murmured, "Do you have
any idea how that sounds? You are not a young pup, Sarinji. You
know the difference between right and wrong. You also know how to
control yourself."
Sarinji chuckled.
"You cannot understand these feelings unless you experience
them."
"I do not need to understand them in order to see that this is
wrong."
"Who are you to judge? To decide what is right and what is
wrong?"
"Cut the bullshit Sarinji!" Ensei said in irritation, "This is not
a fucking game! You know the consequences of messing with another
male's mate. It's death Sarinji! Do you think Sesshomaru would
hesitate to kill you?"
"You assume he would kill me? You doubt my skills and experience
Ensei?"
"I doubt your state of mind. I no longer know who you are."
"I have not changed that much."
They sat in silence a moment, a gentle breeze caressing their
faces. Sarinji looked over at Ensei. Tall, broad shouldered, black
haired, brown eyed, he had never had trouble getting women. As
beautiful as a woman, Sarinji had often envied him. He would never
understand Sarinji's feelings.
"Living as long as I have, life has become dull, colorless. Lady
Kagome has changed that. I feel alive around her, desire."
"What kind of relationship can you possibly have with her? She is a
mated female!"
"I do not know."
"Then why do you pursue her? Why do you continue this madness?"
"I do not know,"
Ensei ground his teeth in frustration. Sarinji was usually the
sensible one between the two of them, now it was the opposite and
Ensei had no idea how to precede, how to flip the roles. Was this
the frustration Sarinji had felt when speaking to him? It was like
talking to a brick wall.
He sighed, closing his eyes.
He would have to keep a close eye on Sarinji.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Kagome stumbled back into the party, her heart pounding for some
strange reason.
Kagome fanned herself.
Why the hell was it so damn hot in here? The music, the atmosphere,
it all seemed enhanced. Moving over to the buffet table, Kagome
grabbed yet another goblet of Demon Blood. Wasting no time, she
gulped it down. This time, the liquid made her tingle in a
completely different way. Kagome looked down at her cup with a
small hiccup. Kagome set the cup down as her head began to
swim.
Amber eyes burned into her back.
Kagome turned.
From across the room, Kagome locked eyes with Sesshomaru. He was
sitting, seemingly half listening to the Overseer next to him. His
eyes were full of heat. Heat spread throughout her body, sexual
tension coiling in her belly. As if sensing it, his lids lowered
over his eyes. Kagome thought that was one of the sexiest
expressions he had ever displayed.
The heat became intense, her cloths rubbing uncomfortably against
her sensitive skin. Kagome tried to breathe, tried to think, but
all she could think about was him, having his hands on her body,
having him inside of her bringing her orgasm after orgasm.
Eyes on her, Sesshomaru suddenly stood, rudely leaving the Overseer
flustered and confused.
He was across the room in an instant.
Kagome closed her eyes, visibly trembling as the heat of his body
permeated through her kimono. Sesshomaru reached out, placing his
hand on her waist, brushing the swell of her breast as he did
so.
Kagome gasped softly at the contact.
Without a word, Kagome turned and left the party, Sesshomaru
following after her. They made it up two flight of stairs and
halfway into the hallway leading to the master bedroom before
Kagome attacked.
Literally.
Sesshomaru was more than prepared as Kagome shoved him against the
wall and latched onto his mouth aggressively. Bringing her leg up,
she rubbed her pussy against the hard-on in his hakama. Kagome
trembled as his hands slapped down on her ass, pressing her harder
against him.
She needed more, needed him now.
Reaching down, Kagome began to loosen his obi holding together his
hakama. Tugging the obi loose, Kagome reached down into his hakama,
closing her hand around the pulsing erection, moving her hand up
and down the thick shaft. Sesshomaru hissed in pleasure, growls
erupting from his throat.
As Kagome rubbed her thumb over the pulsing head, Sesshomaru
switched their positions, pressing her into the wall. Kagome
wrapped her legs around his waist, her kimono hiking up her thighs.
Kagome suckled his neck, rubbing her fangs over his skin as he held
her up with one hand, using the other to rearrange their
clothing.
Kagome gasped loudly as he entered her swiftly, setting a fast hard
pace.
Kagome's toes curled up, her claws pricking at his silken covered
back. Her head swam as pleasure crashed through her. Kagome arched
her back towards him, her back no longer touching the wall.
Sesshomaru lifted her legs high onto his waist, his rhythm
increasing in depth.
Kagome pulled on his hair, locking lips with him in a wet, sloppy
passion fueled kiss, her hands pulling at his cloths.
Slipping her hands into his kimono, she rubbed his strong back,
shivering as he suckled her tongue.
As his thrusts deepened, Kagome nibbled at his tongue.
Sesshomaru pounded her harder, her aggressiveness turning him on.
Kagome released his tongue as she threw back her and cried out his
name in ecstasy as she came, her body trembling.
Sesshomaru stumbled down the hall, Kagome still impaled on his hard
cock, her body jerking in the after math of her orgasm. Finally,
Sesshomaru reached the double doors of their bedroom. He fumbled
with the doorknob for a moment, before opening the doors and
kicking it closed behind him; wasting no time heading to the
bed.
As they tumble to the bed, Kagome squealed in delight.
The sun shone bright through the window. Kagome scrunched her nose
at the offending light, burying her face deeper into Sesshomaru's
neck. Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her waist, his claws
running soothingly up and down her back. Kagome moaned in
contentment. Her body was sluggish, still working off the effects
of the Demon Blood.
Lucky for her, Demon Blood didn't end in hangovers.
Opening her eyes, she squinted at the sunlight still streaming
through the window.
Kagome sat up, stretching her arms over her head.
"You slept late this day," Sesshomaru said, lazily caressing her
back.
Kagome looked back at him. He lay against the black, fluffy
pillows, stretched out like a lazy cat. His muscles relaxed, naked
as the day he was born.
"What time is it?" Kagome inquired, rubbing her eyes.
"Nearly noon," Sesshomaru said.
"Nearly noon?" Kagome exclaimed in shock. "Why the hell didn't you
wake me up sooner?"
Scrambling naked from the bed, Kagome rushed around the room,
pulling out clothing and other necessities.
"As this Sesshomaru recalls, a certain female stayed up all night
demanding sexual satisfaction from her mate," he said as he too sat
up and swung his legs over to the side of the bed.
As he walked over to the door to the bathing facility, Kagome
stepped in front of him, halting his progress.
Sesshomaru raised a brow.
"I would like to call another boon," she said, hands on hips.
Sesshomaru crossed his arms, the muscles in his arms bulging.
Kagome watched the movement intently.
"Your request woman?"
"Oh….yes…..right," Kagome said with a small smile, "I
would like you to drop the formality when we speak to each
other,"
"Formality?"
Kagome nodded, "Instead of referring to yourself as "This
Sesshomaru" I would like you to refer to yourself as "I". "
Sesshomaru raised a brow, his amber eyes thoughtful.
"Is that not how it should be between mates?" she asked.
The sat staring at each other for a while before finally,
Sesshomaru leaned down, kissing her softly.
"If that is your wish, it will be so. Come, let us bathe," he said
walking into the bathroom.
Kagome smiled.
She hadn't thought it'd be this easy to coax Sesshomaru into
anything. She'd start small, asking for little things here and
there before asking for the big thing. The one thing she truly
wanted: To be more than just the Lady of the Western and Northern
lands.
To share the position of ruler as an equal.
After a quick bath and an even quicker late breakfast, Sesshomaru
and Kagome parted ways. Sesshomaru headed down to train the
soldiers as he had been doing for the past few days, and Kagome
headed out to the backyard to meditate with the spirit of the
amulet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango sat up in bed with a yawn, bringing the furs up over her
naked body. She'd slept later than she usually did.
As she climbed out of bed, a hand grabbed her arm.
"Where are you off to my lovely Sango?" Miroku asked, turning on
his stomach.
Sango smiled down at Miroku. When had their friendly relationship
become so much more she wondered.
"I'm going to go train for a bit,"
"Must you? There is better training here, ne
Sango?"
Sango blushed. Though they had only been sleeping together for no
more than three days, his innuendos would take some getting used
to.
"Nay, there are things to be done. I'm pretty sure you have plenty
of work to complete, ne Miroku?" Sango said.
Miroku huffed, lying back on his back, throwing an arm over his
eyes.
"Awww, come now Sango, why do today what you can put off till
tomorrow?"
Sango rolled her eyes.
"But what is today but yesterday's tomorrow?" she asked with a
smirk.
Miroku sighed and sat up.
"Alright, alright, I'm up,"
"Thought you'd see it my way," Sango said smugly.
As she began to turn away, Miroku grabbed her hand.
"Miroku-"
"Wait a moment," he said.
The seriousness in his voice stopped her.
"What is it, Miroku?" she asked.
Gently caressing her hand, he looked into her eyes.
"How do you feel about me?" he asked.
Sango's eyes widened in surprise, a nervous smile coming to her
face.
"Where is this coming from all of a sudden?" she asked.
"It's just that, we've known each other for years, and you know my
feelings about you. I want to know yours."
Sango twiddled her fingers.
"To be honest, I'm not sure. I feel….close to you, closer to
you than anyone else. But I'm still….I don't know…I'm
just-"
Miroku placed a finger over her lips, stopping her words.
"If you are not sure now, I can wait. After everything is settled
with the Evil Six, I will ask again."
Sango smiled.
"I'll have your answer then."
"Good. Now…wanna mess around?"
Sango narrowed her eyes.
"Right, work. I'm on it,"
Sango giggled as Miroku climbed out of bed, pouting.
