Precarious Relationships

Chapter 3- Come with me

Miroku was back in the corner. He seemed to be planning something. He put his hand inside his robes and felt around for something. He smiled.

"Sango. Would you come outside with me for a moment?" he asked.

Sango blinked.

"Alright." She said as she stepped outside.

Miroku led Sango over to the top of the hill, where the blue sky was now visible.

"Miroku? What is this about?" Sango asked confused.

Miroku merely smiled then grasped her hand and got down on one knee.

"Sango?" he said, before pulling out a tiny box.

"Will you marry me?"

Sango was speechless.

"Sturdy frame. Good for breeding." Miroku teased.

Sango smiled then began crying tears of happiness. She flung herself onto Miroku.

"Of course I will." she said. Miroku was beginning to get soaked.

He slipped the ring onto her finger as she held onto him.

Miroku stood up and picked her up, carrying her into the cabin.

Kaede was making lunch. She smiled when she saw the ring Sango was fingering on her hand.

"Miroku? Where did ye get the money to buy this?" Kaede wondered.

"I've been…saving." He assured her, meaning he hadn't 'earned' it from doing an exorcism.

"There's a jeweler not too far away from here. I had never heard of an en…gagement right before…not until Kagome said something about it. It turns out, in Kagome's time, rings like these are quite valuable and they symbolize upcoming marriage."

Miroku was now sitting by the fire with Sango in his lap and Kilala next to them both. Sango was stroking her silky head while she purred.

Kaede served them both bowls of soup and gave them a piece of bread to go with it.

"This shall be a night ye two must never forget." Kaede said.

Sango looked up at Miroku and Miroku looked down at Sango.

Sango's eyes were sparkling. The two locked lips in a deep passionate kiss.

Miroku ran his hand through her hair.

"Miss Higurashi! Does my class bore you THAT much?!" came the voice of the teacher.

"N-no ma'am." Kagome said, flustered.

"Good. Read from page 130."

Kagome didn't even have her book out. She reached into her bag and grabbed it, flipping to the page and reading aloud.

My prince charming sat against the willow tree next to the pond. I thought he was an angel at first…but I must have been mistaken. No. He was something more than that. He was mine.

~*~*~

Inuyasha didn't feel like going back to the feudal era at the moment.

'I don't need all their questioning. I'm sick of answering questions.'

"I'll just wait for Kagome." He muttered to himself.

The bedroom door creaked open and Kagome's mom came in. Thinking she had heard someone.

Inuyasha froze.

"Oh. Hello Inuyasha. What a surprise." She said smiling.

"I see Kagome decided not to stay home today. She should be home from school shortly then."

Inuyasha stared.

"Is there something wrong?" she asked.

Inuyasha shook his head.

"Uh…no. Are you sure you don't mind me being here?" he asked her.

She smiled.

"No. Of course not. I'm sure Kagome enjoys your company."

Inuyasha swore he saw her wink at him as she started to leave.

"Oh. And Inuyasha. You don't have to be cooped up in here. Feel free to explore the rest of the house."

Inuyasha sighed. He had thought she was going to tell him to go home. But he began to realize. She was a much more understanding person than he had originally thought.

~*~*~

At the end of all her classes Kagome picked up her books and went home, hoping to God that her friends wouldn't follow. She didn't feel like being pestered.

Sota ran past her, racing her to the house.

He ran inside and plopped his backpack down onto the floor, then he went over and grabbed his video game controller.

Inuyasha heard strange noises from the other room. His curiosity got the best of him and he left Kagome's room to check it out.

Sota was staring at the TV playing his favorite video game.

Inuyasha snuck up behind him, his ears perking up hearing the strange screams and gunshots coming from the game.

Sota could feel Inuyasha's breathing on the back of his neck. He turned around.

"Hey! It's Inuyasha!" he yelled.

"Nah duh kid. You think I don't know my own name?" Inuyasha muttered.

Sota smiled.

"Wanna play my game with me?"

Inuyasha shrugged.

"Whatever."

Sota handed him a controller.

Inuyasha studied the controls.

"How the Devil's lair do you work this thing?" he asked.

"You press the buttons to work your guy." Sota instructed, demonstrating with his own controller.

"Damn. If only life was that easy." Inuyasha whispered.

"What was that? Is there something wrong?" Sota asked.

"No. I'm fine. I'm just gonna go outside and get some fresh air. See ya later." Inuyasha said, making a waving gesture with his hand.

Sota nodded then went back to his game.

Inuyasha was just about to open the door when instead Kagome did from the other side. They nearly collided against each other.

Kagome blinked.

"You haven't left yet? Why not?" she asked.

"Don't ask. I don't like questions." Inuyasha mumbled.

Kagome brushed past him to go put her things into her room, meanwhile Inuyasha walked outside, searching for a nice tree to rest in.

The sacred tree was located right in front of the shrine. He picked that tree, unaware of the fact that it was the same tree he himself had been bound to by the miko Kikyo hundreds of years ago, and laid in it, looking at the clouds through the branches.

~*~*~

Sango and Miroku pulled away from each other, hardly aware of exactly how long they had been kissing.

Kaede had stepped outside to husk some corn, Kilala following hesitantly.

Sango panted slightly. Miroku did as well. When they had gotten their breath back. Sango rested her head on Miroku's chest gently. She was just too happy for words.
