Broken Heart Healed

AN; I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters

Chapter 5: Morning Surprises

Inuyasha slowly awoke to the birds chirping. As he looked around he noticed no one was up yet. ‘Better go check on Miroku’ he thought. As he walked into Kaede’s home he saw Kagome sleeping next to Miroku with her head resting on his shoulder, and her arm draped across his chest. He was quickly fuming. “What the hell is going on here,” he shouted. Everyone awoke with his outburst. “What’s wrong Inuyasha,” said Sango while rubbing her eyes. As soon as she walked through the door she saw what had angered him. Her eyes soon turned into saucers.
Kagome awoke slowly to see Inuyasha and Sango staring at her. ‘What’s going on’ she thought. When she looked back at Miroku she realized what had caught their attention. ‘How did I get like this? I don’t remember falling asleep so close to Miroku’ she thought. Miroku grumbled and opened his eyes. ‘What happened’ he wondered. ‘Why does my body ache? And why am I so warm?’ He looked around and saw a fuming hanyou, and a shocked Sango staring at him. He then looked beside him and saw a flushed Kagome. “Good morning Miroku,” stuttered an embarrassed Kagome. She quickly shot up and went to get something for Miroku to drink. As she walked out Inuyasha followed her. “What were you doing sleeping with that perverted houshi,” asked Inuyasha in an angry tone. “I was watching over him and got tired. I just fell asleep,” she answered. “Don’t let it happen again,” ordered Inuyasha. “Whatever,” she replied while heading back to the hut. ‘What the hell is going through that girl’s head’ thought Inuyasha.
As Kagome entered the hut she saw Sango looking at her. “Kagome, why don’t you go get some more sleep. I’ll watch over Miroku,” suggested Sango. “No it’s ok Sango. I’ll stay to help Miroku. How about you see if Kaede needs help in the village, she still hasn’t returned.” Sango declined the idea. All the while the were discretely arguing Miroku watched the both of them. ‘Are they arguing’ he wondered. Miroku’s thoughts were quickly interrupted when he saw Sango leave.
As Miroku saw Kagome approaching him he wished her skirt was an inch or two shorter. Kagome kneeled next to him and gave him some water to drink. Then she put her hand on his forehead to make sure his temperature was back to normal. As she did all this Miroku watched her intently. She looked like an angel to him. “Are you feeling better Miroku,” asked Kagome interrupting his admirations. “I feel fine lady Kagome, but what happened to me. The last thing I remember is talking to you in the clearing.” Kagome wondered if she should tell him he almost died because of her. “After you used your kazaana you passed out. Lady Kaede was able to make a remedy for the poison you had gotten from Naraku’s insects. Since then you’ve been resting,” she said. She thought it best to leave out the part about his kazaana being repaired.
“Did you stay with me the whole time,” asked Miroku while slowly sitting up. Kagome slightly blushed and nodded her head. Miroku couldn’t help feel a bit happy at the thought of Kagome being worried over him. “Thank you,” he said. Kagome was overjoyed to see Miroku better. Something inside her felt the need to hug him, so she did. Miroku was left speechless when she wrapped her arms around him. ‘She smells so good’ he thought as his arms automatically wrapped around her small frame. They stayed in each others arms for a while. Both wishing that the moment lasted forever. ‘Why does this feel so right’ wondered Kagome. Just when she started to get up Miroku grabbed her wrist. “Miroku, what are you doing,” she asked as her heart sped up. “Thanking you,” he answered simply as he pulled her back down until she was sitting in his lap. He then hugged her closer and brought his face closer to hers. ‘Oh my god he’s going to kiss me’ thought Kagome in anticipation. Her breath caught as he kissed her cheek and said, “Thank you for everything Kagome.”
