Sango sat at the edge of the riverbank, children were playing in the shallower part of the river, their giggles echoing off into the distance. Sango was doing her weekly load of laundry. Next to her sat Kagome who was also doing her laundry. Kagome had her haired pulled back into a ponytail and wore rags, as she often did while doing the laundry.
Sango looked across the river into the forest where Miroku had disappeared into not too long ago. He said he had felt a demon approaching from the forest and went to go get rid of it. Sango didn't feel the demon though. Her powers to feel such things had gotten weak ever since Narau was killed and Miroku and her had decided to settle down.
Kagome began to hum next to her. Sango loved the sound of Kagome's voice, especially when she sang or hummed. Sango closed her eyes and breathed in deeply, as if the happiness of the song could trap her in it's wonderfulness.
Suddenly the humming stopped and Sango opened her eyes, a little hurt that the song had ended so suddenly. She looked at her friend to see her looking backwords with a worried expression on her face. Sango followed her gaze to see a flash of red rushing...

Miroku sat on the grassy slope at the edge of Kaede’s village, by himself. The weather was perfect. The air smelled wonderful. The soft green grass poked up through his bare toes, tickling the topside of his foot.
But the gorgeous setting wasn’t the reason for his ear-splitting smile, or the silly, nonsensical drinking songs that hummed off his lips, nor was it responsible for the fact that for the first time since he could remember, he didn’t wake up that morning contemplating his own death...
Truth was, it could have been cold, stormy, and lightning could have struck his...well, maybe not the lightning part, but he’d be no less elated than he was right now. This very second. Curseless.
For the thousandth time since they’d defeated Naraku, two days ago, he held his hand out splayed in front of his face. The hand. Only now, it wasn’t hidden behind a rosary. And it didn’t have a nasty hole in it that sucked people into hell.

The gang is walking on a path to a nearby village, hoping to get some R & R after fighting a huge demon...
Sango, looking up at the sky: Ahhh, today is a beautiful day! Don't you agree ,Miroku?
Miroku turns to her, smiling: I know something even more beautiful.
*Sango looks down, blushing*
Kagome(in back): Awww! That's so sweet!!!
Shippo: Yeah, after Miroku proposed to Sango, they have been getting kinnda "comfy" together.
Inuyasha, yawning: Yeah right! Like it's gonna last long, besides, their not even officially married.
Kagome glares at him: Oh, don't be stupid , Inuyasha! This is gonna last fore...
*Sango squeals*
Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippo all quickly look in front of them. Miroku (like always)was rubbing Sango's "backside". She slapped him REALLY hard.
Sango: CAN'T YOU EVEN LET A MOMENT LIKE THIS JUST PASS ON BY WITHOUT YOU RUBBING ME?!
