Chapter 8 Wedding Talk

Kagome, Shippo and Sesshomaru stood by the river, watching Sango and Miroku hug one another. Sango stood in the water that was up to her hips and she didn't care that her clothes were getting wet. Miroku was still naked against Sango's body.

"Oh my God! Sango, why are you crying? Why did you scream? And why are you hugging a naked Miroku?" Kagome asked in rapid succession.

Sango turned around to see everyone looking at her and Miroku. As Sango turned around, Miroku pulled her closer to his chest. "Sango, don't move; I'm naked here, remember?" he whispered into her ear.

Sango blushed immediately. She turned her neck around to look at her friends. "Don't worried guys I'm fine," she explained with a smile. "I've got some good news. Miroku asked to me to marry him and I… kind of said yes. That's why I was screaming."

-With Inuyasha.-

Inuyasha ran into the clearing to see Sango and a naked Miroku hugging in the river. "What is going on here?" he demanded.

Kagome turned to see Inuyasha standing there. "Oh, Miroku asked Sango to marry him, so Sango screamed," Kagome explained nonchalantly. "That's why you're here right?"

Inuyasha turned from Kagome to Miroku. "Never thought you had it in you Monk," the hanyou retorted.

"Can you guys please leave and give me and Sango some time together?" Miroku said, ignoring Inuyasha. "I really want to get dressed."

Shippo, Rin, and Sesshomaru set off back to camp, Inuyasha ran up to Kagome and picked her up, then made their way back. Inuyasha and Kagome made it back first, so Inuyasha jumped into the tree and sat down with Kagome on his lap.

"I can't believe Miroku asked Sango to marry him," Kagome said dreamily.

"Yeah I didn't think he had it in him. I know he really didn't want to get together with Sango until the Wind tunnel was gone. He didn't want to leave her alone," Inuyasha said in the same quiet tone. Kagome leaned further into him, as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

-Flash back-

Inuyasha and Kagome sat in one of the tallest trees near their friends' campsite.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. "Will you marry me someday? Be my mate after we kill Naraku?"

Kagome looked at him and smiled. "Oh Inuyasha! I have been waiting for you to ask me that for two years!" She explained gleefully. "Of course I'll marry you and be your mate!"

-End flash back-

"I can't wait until we get married," Inuyasha said, looking down at the girl. "Remember, we can't get married until Naraku's dead. We can't let him know that I'm in love with you; if he were to find out, he would try to take you away from me.'' Inuyasha said. Kagome looked down, not wanting to make eye contact with him at the moment. He saw her distress. "Kagome try to understand; I do love you and I now understand that you're not Kikyo and you never were Kikyo. You are your own person. Your soul and heart is so loving and Kikyo's heart is full of hate. I want to be with you, not Kikyo, but we can't be together; not until Naraku's dead."

Kagome moved uncomfortably in Inuyasha's lap. "Inuyasha, can you please put me down?" she asked.

Inuyasha could smell her unshed tears. "Kagome, please don't push me away; don't be mad at me," he pleaded with her.

"Inuyasha, please put me down," she said sternly.

-Back with Miroku and Sango-

Sango turned back to Miroku after their friends had left. She then turned and walked out of the water. The monk followed after Sango and walked over to his clothes. "Sango dear, you can turn around now," he said teasingly.

Sango turned around to find Miroku half dressed and she blushed immediately. Flustered, she managed to say, "Get your shirt on."

Miroku continued his teasing. "Sango, what's the matter? We're going to be married."

"Fine! Do whatever you want," she huffed. "Leave your shirt off but don't think that mine's coming off!"

Miroku walked up to his fiancée and put an arm around her shoulders. "Come on, let's head back to camp."

The two began their trek towards their campsite, when they stumbled onto Sesshomaru, Rin and Shippo. Shippo was on the ground crying and Sesshomaru didn't look very happy.

"What's wrong?" Sango asked. "Why is Shippo crying?"

"Kagome and Inuyasha are fighting again and it doesn't look or sound good. Kagome wants to get married, but Inuyasha doesn't want to get married until Naraku's dead! I don't know what's going to happen now!" Shippo cried hysterically afterwards.

-Back with Inuyasha and Kagome-

"Inuyasha put me down NOW." Kagome repeated her command forcefully.

Inuyasha picked her up and jumped from the tree. The moment they hit the ground, Kagome jumped from his arms.

"Kagome! Wait!" he called after her.

"Inuyasha, leave me alone. I need to think right now," She said, holding back her anger.

He finally ran after her. "Kagome! Please…"

"SIT BOY!" Kagome yelled, finally losing her temper. "SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!" She turned around one last time before taking off into the forest.
