Sango and Inuyasha Pairing
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha
Inuyasha stood there by the lake that night. His mind was racing, his demon yelling at him. " Go to her." the demon commanded.
" I can't, she would never accept us." Inuyasha answered.
"Then why does she care for us."
" She doesn't, she will never."
" Who are trying to convince? Your heart knows Inuyasha, your demon and your human...and the half-demon. You love this slayer. Go to her."
Inuyasha closed his eyes tightly. He and Sango had shared an odd moment as few weeks ago. He had just defeated Naraku, kagome and miroku were back with Kaede and he was sitting at the god tree. His purpose fulfilled. That's when Sango came to him. She was so beautiful that night.
Flashback
--
Inuyasha looked up at the God tree, the moonlight shining through it's leaves. He leapt up and placed his hand on the place where he'd been sealed. The bare tree where the bark had been warn away form his body resting there for 50 years. He sighed and ran his palm over it gently. Tears pricked his eyes. This is where it all started. 56 years ago. It had taken him 6 years to avenge Kikyo and now he was finished, finally done with his task. Now what? Inuyasha sighed deeply as he thought of the journey ahead of him....There wasn't one. ' what is there left for me on this earth?' he thought.
Footsteps walking across the grass alerted him and he turned around slowly to stare into a pair of warm eyes. Long chocolate hair let loose form all it's ties, swaying in the light breeze that blew that night. She was wearing a white yukata, it was thin and clung to her body. Her bare feet seemed chilled like the rest of her as she walked up to him. " Hello Inuyasha." she greeted, her voice seeming different than before.
"Hey Sango." he answered in his usual tone, trying not to stare at the beautiful warrior beside him.
"What are you doing out here by yourself? You should be back with the others celebrating."
"What about you? Why you out here all alone?"
"I guess I'm not that much as a party person." Sango answered.
"Seems like we've got something in common."
" You don't like parties?"
" When you live alone for as long as I have, it's hard to change and be social all of a sudden."
" I understand. Do you mind if I stick around?" she asked sweetly, her voice was music to his ears.
"Umm, sure."
The two stood in silent for a while, simply enjoying each other's company. Inuyasha found it difficult to stand and asked Sango, " Do you, wanna go sit in the tree with me?"
Sango blushed a little at the idea but nodded and let Inuyasha draw her into a hug as he leapt up into the branches. Inuyasha sat with his back against the tree trunk and let her rest against his chest. " I love coming here at night and just.."
"Thinking?" Sango said as she finished his sentence.
"Yeah." he agreed.
" What are you going to do now Inuyasha?"
" Probably help out around the village, help Kaede you know? She's become like a grandmother to me. She actually cares about me you know?"
"Yeah I know. She's a very caring person. But she's not the only one who cares about you Inuyasha."
Inuyasha's ears perked up and he looked down at Sango as she stared up at him. He blushed at hr comment but she seemed unwavered. "It's true Inuyasha. I care about you. I care about you a lot." Sango leaned up an rested her head against his shoulder and neck.
Inuyasha couldn't help but hold her closer to him as she showed him such affection. The slayer was always so tough in battle, had such a barrier around her. As if she was trying to protect herself from something. ' Just like me' he thought.
The two sat in silence for awhile before Inuyasha looked down and saw she fallen asleep. Inuyasha thought about waking her, but didn't when he saw how peaceful she looked. She was so beautiful. He breathed in her scent, sweet cherry's and waterlily. Closing his eyes and leaned his chin on her head and fell into a sleep of his own.
He awoke that morning to see Sango staring up at him with blush on her face. "Good morning Inu-kun." she said softly.
'She's never called me that before? I like it.' he thought as she greeted with a good morning of his own.
" You sleep okay. I know your not used to trees."
"It was very comfortable actually. Thanks for not waking me up, usually I can never sleep."
"Neither me."
They both stared at each other with blush on their cheeks for a moment before hoped down and smiled at her. "Umm Inu-kun?'
"Yeah?"
"You can put me down now." Sango said as she found herself still being carried bridal style.

End of flashback.
Inuyasha sighed and ran his fingers through his hair as he thought of her. She was so gorgeous and strong. Sure he cared for Kagome but she never made him feel this way. It was a sister like love, the need to protect her. But Sango, she was so different. Inuyasha turned away from the lake and began to walk back to camp with nothing but Sango on his mind. He arrived at Camp with kagome being her usual pain self, she was never a morning person. Kagome greeted him with a glare and said, "Where exactly did you rush off too this morning?"
"Now where! Gimme a break okay." he huffed as he sat on the ground next to the neko demon Kilala.
The neko mewed and hopped into his lap. She knew that he loved her master and respected him, she;'d grown fond of the half demon very much so. She liked to sit in his lap when Sango was still asleep or off at the hot springs. He sat there petting the animal until sango came walking over. "Good morning inu-kun." she said softly as Kilala jumped into her arms and cuddled close her master's chest.
"Morning Sango." he said as she handed a breakfast plate.
Kagome watched the scene and glared slightly, Sango had been calling Inuyasha "inu-kun" for a while and being all close to him, it was a bit of shock. Since when did her puppy get so close to the slayer. Miroku was just as disturbed by the sudden companionship. Sango had declined his engagement, saying she was not interested until he could stop being such a lech. And also that she was not ready for love, yet here she was being very friendly with a certain half demon. It confused him.
Sango sat in silence and smiled at the Inu as he ate. "Do you want any more?" she asked.
"No I'm good." Inuyasha said as she stood. "I'm gonna go talk to Kaede, be right back."
Kagome's eyes narrowed at him, "Inuyasha, aren't we gonna go for a walk this morning? You were gonna have a picnic with me."
"Oh, maybe another time Kagome. We can always go for a picnic."
Kagome sighed and watched the half demon walked off. ' What is with him?' she thought.
Sango stood up and sighed as she began to clean up. " I'm gonna go to the hot springs, Kagome are you coming?"
"Nah, I gotta clean the dishes." Kagome said with a bit of anger in her voice
Sango shrugged not seeing anything wrong with it and headed to the hot springs for a morning bath. Kilala followed at her side and she smiled down to the neko. She was always there for her. But this morning, something seemed to be bothering Kilala. "What's wrong Kilala?"
" Mew!." the neko answered in a bitter tone, followed by a growl as the cat turned around and looked at Kagome, who had been glaring at Sango as they walked away.
"Kilala, what are you angry with Kagome for?"
"Mew!" the neko said with a low almost sad tone, as if to say, ' how did you not notice?'
Sango was completely lost and decided to just drop the conversation and continue onto the hot springs,
"Hey Kaede!? You in here?" Inuyasha asked as she walked into the elderly women's hut.
"Yes child, what seems to be the reason for all the yelling so early in the day?" she sais as she poured some tea. "Ye seem on edge, Inuyasha, I have seen the like this since the final battle of naraku."
"It's sort of a different battle Kaede, more so, inside me."
"Is ye's demon acting up again?"
"Well, in a way, but not like before."
"Come come inuyasha, sit with me and we shall discuss what the matter is."
Inuyasha went inside and sat down in front of Kaede. " My demon keeps telling me things that the rest of me is having problems accepting."
"Like what dear? They must be serious if Ye is so upset over them"
"It's over love Kaede."
" And your demon has an issue with the one you love."
"Well no, it knows who it loves, I'm just worried this person doesn't love me back."
"It would help if ye would tell me who ye was thinking of courting."
"Umm..." inuyasha scratched the back of his neck, " Sango..."
"I see."
"I know it sounds weird. But I've grown so fond of her. And something inside of me says it's right. But..."
"But?"
" What fi she doesn't feel the same?"
"And what if she does? You should know by now that your demon instincts only kick in when needed. Obviously they think you are wrong in not perusing the slayer."
"Yeah I guess."
"Inuyasha, getting hurt in this world is going to happen, but I know for a fact that the slayer cares for you."
"How?"
"Do you truly think you are the only one that comes to me asking for advice on dealings such as these?"
Inuyasha smiled and stood up, thanking Kaede and heading out of the hut in search of Sango.
