Chapter Seven

*Sango's POV*

"That was delicious." I said stretching. "I think I'll go to bed now, where's my room?"

"Up the stairs and to the left." Said Miroku.

"Thanks." I headed to the door then stopped before I went out, "Where's your room?"

"Down here right by the stairs." He answered.

"Oh." I left and headed up the stairs which were super creaky. At least I'd know if he tried to sneak upstairs. When I got to the room I was surprised at how beautiful it was. It was painted in soft shades of purple and pink with matching linen. There was a closet full of comfterble clothes and a vanity desk with a mirror and chair. On the vanity were various kinds and shades of makeup, purfume, and anything else a girl could want. It was wonderful, and just how did Miroku now my favorite colors? It was something to ponder later. All I wanted to do right now was climb into that big inviting bed.

I climbed in and got under the covers, the pillows were paradise just the right mix of fluffiness and firmness. The bed. It was better than paradise, it was heaven. It was like sleeping on a cloud or a marshmellow, I should have fallen asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. But I didn't. I suppose I could blame it on being in a strange bed in and strange house but I try to be truthful to myself. I slept fine on the ship and if that's not a strange bed in a strange place I don't know what is. Truth tell the only difference was that Miroku wasn't here with me. And it really irked me because I don't even like the guy, he drives me nuts. Maybe if I saw him once more before I go to bed.

I climbed out of the bed and headed for the door. Miroku wasn't in the kitchen when I looked so I made my way cautiously to his room. "Hoshi?" I called knocking softly.

"Come in." I opened the door and walked in. Miroku was sitting in a chair by the window. "What can I do for you darling Sango?"

"Um, well," I hadn't thought of a reason for coming down. "I need something to sleep in." I said quickly.

"Of course. I did get you some night clothes but they haven't arrived yet. I 'll get you something." He stood, walked to his closet and pulled out some clothes then tossed them to me. "Here you go."

"Thanks. Um, the room is great. Everything a girl could want." I said.

"Your welcome. I tried to think of everything you might need. I'll even be your bed partner if you want one." He smiled.

"You are such a perv." I turned and stormed out of the room. Strangely enough I had no trouble falling asleep after that.

*Miroku's POV*

I lay in bed unable to sleep and thinking of Sango curled up in bed all snug and comfterble. If only she'd excepted my offer of a bed partner. I got up to go get a drink. Hopefully a little warm milk would help me sleep. I'd been back in bed maybe ten minutes and was starting to doze off when my door burst open. There stood Sango looking so beautiful, standing there with her disheveled hair tumbling around her, and so sexy in a pair of my boxers and one of my purple tees. Then I noticed she was trembling and her eyes wide and blank.

Who'd have thought my dearest little Sango was a sleepwalker. "Sango?" I said softly. She looked around, not really seeing the room decorated in deep shades of purple.

"You have to help me." She said. "Their after me, please, help me." I got up and went to her.

"Of course I'll help you. Who's after you darling?" I asked soothingly. She grabbed hold of my shirt.

"They are. They broke into the house and woke me up. Mommy said hide, but they found me. Daddy said run, find help. So I ran but no one will help, no one will help me." She collapsed against me sobbing.

"It's okay Sango. I'm here, I'll help you." I picked her up with one arm under her knee and the other supporting her back. She looked up at me blank eyes wide with fear and wet with unshed tears.

"Thank you." She whispered than lay her head against me. By the time I'd put her down on my bed and covered her up she was sleeping peacefully. I climbed into bed beside her careful not to move the bed to much so she wouldn't wake up. I lay in bed my hands behind my head. There was no way I'd be able to sleep now. I wondered how much of that nighmare was true, and how often she had it. Pondering this I soon fell asleep.

I awoke next in the middle of the night. Sango was curled up against me with a handful of my shirt in her fist. Needing to go to the bathroom I successfully removed my shirt from her grip without waking her, but when I tried to move away she murmured and moved closer. I moved away again and started to get up but she grabbed my arm.

"Don't leave me." She murmured.

"I'm just going to the bathroom, don't worry."

"Noooooo." She whined refusing to release her grip on my arm. I leaned over and kissed her softly.

"I'll be right back. I promise." I left the bed and went to the bathroom. When I came back she was sniffing quietly. "See I'm back." I climbed back into bed. She grabbed my shirt and pulled herself closer. I wrapped one arm around her and stroked her hair and back murmuring "It's okay, just go back to sleep." She soon fell back asleep and so did I.
