Chapter One.1: Love Square

I don't own Inuyasha. Unfortunately enough.

"Taijiya, take my staff and use it," Miroku muttered as he passed his staff to the slayer. She caught it with ease.

"Right," she knew what he meant. Every time they were up against a powerful youkai they did the same technique. She positioned it along her Hiraikotsu, stuck the ends through the rope and string on the boomerang, then swung them both at the youkai they were after. "Hiraikotsu!" The monk would have to deal with the situation using his Kazaana for the moment.

Inuyasha and Kagome both took the hint after they heard her swing it, and saw her throw it. "Kaze . . . no . . . Kizu!" Inuyasha's attack dug through the ground in three different areas, all heading for the soon-to-be-dead-hanyou, which was not Inuyasha. Kagome shot her arrow at the same time, it became engulfed in it's sacred blue light, headed directly for him.

The him they'd wanted to kill for a long time. Naraku.

All three attack at once, all with extra force. They were down to their last breath, but they knew . . . if it hit, it was over. Done for. Sango's attack was even twice as forceful, considering that the houshi's staff was with it. As expected, the hanyou had died.

Sango's boomerang went right through him, slicing him in half. The yellow sparks of Inuyasha's sent attack hit him all three times, all three sides, no escaping. Kagome's sacred arrow hit last, making a deep hole in the middle of Naraku. Finally, Miroku knew: this hanyou was gone, and even if he wasn't there's no way he could get him with the Samiyoushou. So he decided to clean up the disgusting (AN: and disturbing, what part of Naraku ISN'T disturbing?) mess which was once a very powerful hanyou.

"Kazaana!" He exposed his right hand from the prayer beads and cloth in the direction of the hanyou's mess, getting lots of it sucked into him.

"Houshi-sama, put it back! Naraku is evil enough to poison you!" The taijiya shouted. Miroku did so, realizing that he wasn't even thinking as he did it. Luckily, he'd only sucked up enough of Naraku to just barely even make his hand turn the horrid purple. It still needed healing, but would not be needed right away.

To say the least, the Inuyasha-tachi was actually kind of shocked. They knew the day they'd finally get rid of Naraku would come, after all, he was no where to be seen in Kagome's time; they just didn't expect it this soon. The reality just kind of hit them.

"W-we . . . guys, we did it . . ." Kagome murmured before Sango's Hiraikotsu was flown past her about one inch away from her face and into Sango's arms. She took out Miroku's staff and handed it to him. "Now what?"

That may seem like a really stupid question, but it was really something. Were they going to remain a group? Or would they split apart? There was awkward silence for a moment.

"I'm staying if Kagome stays!" Shippo shouted, rather excitedly.

"Well, I for one, know I'm staying with Inuyasha because there's still a few more shards to collect," Kagome said. She looked behind her and said, "speaking of . . ." As she ran off to get Naraku's shard or shards, the rest of the gang discussed their issues.

"I should stay, too, I'm looking for Kohaku but he's also got a shard," Sango said, putting her part in.

Miroku was the one to bear bad news with, "I will have to go, however. My hand needs healing, and I'll want to show Hachi and company that my Kazaana has been removed. I'm sure they will want me there, also. We know how that went, before (AN: MOVIE TWO!)."

"Houshi-sama," Sango muttered. She didn't really want him to leave. "Do you have to?"

"I have to."

"I understand, Houshi-sama. We'll all miss you, really." She hugged him, then Kagome returned. She didn't even need an explaining, she could tell by Sango's embrace.

"Miroku-sama, you're going?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah."

"Inuyasha, you could show some more sympathy." She approached Miroku and gave him a hug also. "How will you get back?" Miroku's answer was a whispered, "I have my ways", and he turned to leave. It felt weird, just walking him walk off like that. They wanted to help him back, but they all knew that it would only make it harder on all of them once they arrived.

"Good bye, Miroku!" Sango shouted before he was out of eye-sight. She wanted to get the courage to call him Miroku instead of Houshi-sama before he left, and she did.

"At least you're still here, Sango," Kagome said as the now group of five, if you counted Kirara, left. Kirara meowed, and Kagome nodded, then said, "You too Kirara. And Shippo. Of course, Inuyasha." Inuyasha didn't really seem to care. He was, after all, Inuyasha.

"Keh, how many shards did Naraku have?" Inuyasha asked, quickly changing the subject. All of the friendship speeches that were given on her . . . television, she called it; had way too many of them. "Or was it just one?"

"Three," Kagome replied. "One for himself, obviously, the other two were probably left for all his minions. I wonder what became of them. Kagura, Kanna . . ."

"I bet Kagura's having a hay-day," Sango commented. "I really wouldn't mind seeing her again. I also think she's most likely still traveling with Kanna. I bet Kagura's nice, now that she's not being held onto by Naraku."

"We should see!" Shippo commented. He was always too excited for his own good, being an eight-year-old.

"Kami, my feet are killing me . . ." Kagome complained after a bit of walking. Still walking, and no signs. They were waiting for Inuyasha to recognize any familiar scent right about now. They needed it before she died of exhaustion.

"Why didn't you bring that bike thing of yours?" Inuyasha asked. She had it every time it wasn't needed, and never had it when she did need it. "Never mind, just get on my back. I'll take you, alright?" Kagome headed towards Inuyasha, still walking to keep up, and let Shippo jump onto Sango's shoulder. Inuyasha and Kagome stopped, but Sango and her buddies kept on going, knowing he could catch up faster than any human.

"Arigatou, Inuyasha," Kagome thanked him as she climbed onto his back.

"Feh." He didn't pay her much attention, just ran to catch up to Sango was she was on his back.

"I knew you'd catch up," she said. Sango tried to cover what she was hiding. She knew it was ridiculous, very ridiculous . . . but for some reason, she felt jealous of Kagome riding on Inuyasha's back! Jealous of Kagome-chan? Her best friend? But why? Inuyasha? No, it couldn't be . . . she and him rarely ever talked.

Maybe that was what she liked about him. He was so secretive. Even with his Kagome and Kikyo problems he was somehow able to keep them inside of him . . . well, most of the time. But her and Miroku rarely ever heard about it. She had to be filled in by her friend, Kagome. Even then, she wasn't always told everything. Not that she'd ever ask why, who knew what that would bring up. Her sits were scary enough, even if they happened to Inuyasha and not her.

Oh, she would never let Kagome know anything. She did think Kagome went overboard with the unnecessary sits, and knew she took a liking for Inuyasha. She at least told her that much. If she told her that she even had the slightest feeling around the han-youkai . . . she didn't even want to think about it.

After all, she wasn't totally sure with what she was feeling, anyway. It felt weird to like the hanyou that her best friend took a liking for, and was stuck in the middle of everything.

What would it turn into? A love square, if she got involved? A love rectangle didn't sound too exciting, nor did it have a very exciting ring to it.

What was the taijiya thinking about! A love square her butt! The monk was bad enough with her behind, she didn't need a love square too. Besides that, wasn't this feeling too small to really be considered anything?

She decided to just keep it a secret until she was absolutely sure on her position.

Kind of short, I'm sorry. The title WAS going to be called love square, but I thought it would give everything away too quickly and I liked the title Unknown Love better anyway. So I used it as the chapter title instead. I made my story and used that title, just not as the entire story title. Teehee I pick the weirdest of couples to write about.

Note about that - InuSan isn't one of my favorite couples. I just had a random idea for an InuSan fic, so here I am writing it. DON'T JUDGE A PERSON BY HER WRITING xD
