Author: Yay, I've finally started on this fic. I'm so excited and so nervous at the same time. I've always wrote stories, but I never thought I would be able to post for others to read. I hope you readers enjoy it and I'll try to write each chapter asap!

Please read and review!

Oh and by the way:

Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-yasha because I dun think I was really creative back then…..

Origami

"I'll see you in the campsite, Sango!"

Sango sat in the spring as she watched the clothed Kagome stroll back into the forest. The taijiya looked up into the night sky as she slowly combed her fingers through her hair. She loved how the alluring stars glowed brightly in the heavens. Just gazing at them gave her hope and sense of tranquility for once in her life.

Suddenly, memories of her past began to play along inside her head. She lived a hard and abnormal life for a woman, but that was her choice. She chose to keep up with her father in the family business with becoming a taijiya. It was difficult to live up to her father's expectations and make her village proud, but she did. Her family and village were all that she had and in one day they were destroyed by one hanyou's plan. A hanyou not even fit to be a human or a demon in her eyes.

"Naraku….." she hissed softly.

She wanted to defeat him badly. He destroyed her life, brought her enormous pain, and was slowly killing Kohaku as he served him. She hated Naraku with a passion and will never forgive him. She wished she could just take her weapons, find his castle, and kill him with one single blow, but it wouldn't be too easy. Besides, she couldn't fight him alone; she had the others to help her.

She smiled slightly thinking of her friends. Overall, they were there for her. Kagome was like a sister to her. She kept the taijiya from crying and depress, but kept her in a positive state of mind. Shippo, the young kitsune, kept his concern over her and made sure, just like Kagome, to keep her thinking about the positive. Inu-yasha, as stubborn as he was, was the closest person that had felt her pain, but he assured her that things would turn out in their favor. Miroku, though as much as a lecher as he is, kept her spirit alive and showed her feelings she was never awoken to.

Sango looked down at the water at her reflection and began a whole new thought about the monk. He loved her and she knew it. Even though he flirted and groped women from other villages, he loved Sango dearly and would do anything for her. In her own thoughts, did she love him back? There was no denying that she was very attracted to the monk and admired his spirit and wisdom, but was he the one to hold her at night? Would he be the one to kiss her in the night air?

She tired of his flirting and she was tired of the way he treated her sometimes. She was true to her feelings and she never looked at another man but when a pretty girl came walking in their path, Miroku would recreate his offer toward them with his hands traveling along their body. She slapped and hit him when he was too forward to the girl and her, but he would never change. She sighed softly as she stood up in the spring. Maybe he isn't the one for her.

Inu-yasha sat quietly perched on a branch looking up at the sky. He was on watch for anything suspicious, but it was calm in the forest. He had so much on his minds and he needed to thoroughly think things over.

What would become of the Shikon no Tama when he finally defeated Naraku? His main objective, at first, was to become a full fledge demon. He wanted to become powerful and not feel rejected by both races. But now that he came in contact with his friends, he felt a shield of doubt come over him. Maybe being a demon wasn't everything he wanted.

"Inu-yasha! What are you doing up there?"

The hanyou looked down to see Kagome crossing her arms as she looked up to him.

"I'm taking watch, Kagome, like I always do. Why don't you get some rest." stated Inu-yasha leaning on the tree once more.

"I will. Just make sure you come back to the camp when you are done," said the miko as she turned to leave.

"Sure, whatever," replied Inu-yasha as he watched her make her way back to the camp.

Seeing Kagome at that moment moved his thoughts towards his love for Kikyo and her. He cared for both women so much, but he knew he couldn't be selfish. Still, as time flew, slowly his feeling would become so great and frustrating. He was starting to lose the same deep affections he had for them. He began to feel as if maybe their love wasn't strong enough to make him try harder. If he loved Kikyo, he would love a woman who was and forever will be long gone. If he loved Kagome, every time he looked into her eyes or hugged her affectionately, he could feel or sense the presence of Kikyo inside her and that was not right. Why did love have to be so complicating?

Suddenly, his dog ears began to twitch as they picked up a scream. He looked outward and decided to go investigate the sudden shrill. Inu-yasha jumped down to the ground and began to swiftly run through the forest.

Sango dropped on the rock looking up to see a large lizard demon, her hissing at the taijiya.

"Damn, a lizard demon," thought Sango reaching for her kimono.

As her hand went for her clothes, the demon opened its mouth and flames began to pour out. She swiftly threw her kimono over her back as she looked toward the flaming ground.

"Hahaha, I mean fire breathing lizard demon," spoke Sango with a slight nervous laugh.

She leapt into the air holding tightly onto her kimono as she studied the monster. He was long and massive, but a bit slow. She cursed herself for not having her weapons with her at ALL times. She quickly dropped to a large rock and picked up the nearest suitable rock into her hand. She threw the item with massive force hoping it knock the creature out. Too bad the creature had such a hard head.

"Damn, I got to make a run f-"before she could finish her thought, the lizard's tail swept under her feet.

She fell off of her feet and wrapped into the demon's tail. The lizard rose up looking down at Sango as if to say she lost and was dinner. The youkai hissed softly as its slithery tongue licked Sango's cheek repeatedly.

"Oh, let me go!" Sango knew her command wouldn't even be heard. She was getting very frustrated and tried to squirm out but every time she tried to break free, the lizard would grip harder. Soon enough, she felt her breathing becoming shorter. She didn't know what to do.

"Get your filthy scales off her!"

As soon as they heard the remark, Inu-yasha leaped toward the lizard and flung his sword at it. The youkai released Sango from his tail and began to walk back. Inu-yasha crept over to the taijiya and got in front of her.

"Sango, are you okay?" asked the hanyou carefully observing the snake.

"Yeah, Inu-yasha, I'm fine. I just need to breathe a bit," replied Sango placing her hand over her chest.

"This demon is not that strong, so this'll be a piece of cake," replied Inu-yasha with a smirk.

All of a sudden, the lizard youkai opened his mouth with flames flying once more. Inu-yasha picked up Sango in his arms and shielded her body from the heat.

"A fire breathing lizard demon?"

"You weren't the only one surprised," stated Sango looking over his shoulder.

The lizard crept up to Inu-yasha and brought his large claw up. Before he could strike, Sango pushed them away. Inu-yasha took his sword and dashed toward the creature, but before he could make a blow, the youkai slashed the hanyou's chest.

"Shit! Now you're gonna have to pay for that! WIND SCAR!"

His sword came down on the Lizard Youkai and ended his life completely. The youkai froze up automatically as its body began to drift away. Sango recollected her thoughts and looked over to the hanyou. He sighed softly and then sat on the ground in slight pain. Sango quickly ran to his side. She knew he was injured and it was because of her.

"Inu-yasha, are you okay?" Sango dropped to his side and began to observe his marks on his chest.

"Humph, I'm fine. It's nothing a little rest won't cure. You know me, Sango," he stated.

Sango touched his chest softly then remembered her own nearly bare body. As she realized her state, so did Inu-yasha. The taijiya and the hanyou sat frozen for a second, which develop into minutes. The longer they sat there, the redder their faces began to glow. It was one thing that Inu-yasha was sitting there for no reason and frozen by shock, but it was another when he glanced a couple of time at Sango's body.

"In…….Inu-yasha….." spoke Sango while she shielded as much of her skin.

"Hmm? Oh shit! I'm sorry, Sango!" He picked himself up and turned around.

Sango couldn't help but to see his blushing on his face making her own blushing grow. She quickly and properly placed her kimono on and tied her hair up in a loose ponytail. She walked over to her patient friend and placed a soft hand on his shoulder. He looked over to her as she gave him a very apologetic smile.

"Let's get you cleaned up, Inu-yasha," said Sango fidgeting her fingers together.

"Hey, I'm not THAT hurt," replied Inu-yasha placing his sword back in its sheath.

"Still, let Kagome check you out," stated Sango looking up at him.

"I don't need no help from anyone."

Sango just shook her head while they walked back toward camp.

How was that? I wanted to start this fic a little original hoping to gradually get these two from doubting their choices with their respectable love interests to both loving each other. I want to take it slowly and let them gradually find things to love them.

I actually love Inu/Sango pairings and hopefully this one will turn out to be quite the fic. Please review, my lovely readers. Tell me what you think!
