Sango sighed as she sat on Kirara. She had been riding for an hour now, in the sky, on her way to Kouga's place, and THAT she was still trying to figure out.
"How the hell did this happen?" She asked herself. She went over the conversation after their battle with a demon. The demon had really messed up her leg and it still hurt now. Kouga was their saving and flirting with Kagome as usual, and Inuyasha was barking at him to back off.
" Kagome can shoot an arrow without you being right next to her you know." Inuyasha said.
" I'm only showing how much I care for her by being there you dumb mutt."
"Yeah right. You don't care about anyone but yourself."
Somehow how Kagome had slipped past them both and made her way to Sango. The minute Kagome saw all the blood on Sango's leg she flipped.
"Oh my gosh! How bad is it? Can you walk on it?" Kagome screamed. That finally got the boys attention and they walked over.
"I'm fine Kagome. I just need to rest for a while." Sango answered though she knew Miroku didn't like the idea of her being up on her leg when she winced in pain when she tried to stand on it.
"No way you're way to hurt to be on that leg Sango" Inuyasha said helping her stand. Kirara came over and transformed so Sango can lean on her.
"I'd say about a month off it." Miroku said after an examination.
"What!" Sango screamed, "I can't stay off my leg for a month I won't be able to throw Hirakotsu around properly without the use of both my legs, and do you know how many demons want a demon slayer's neck if they know that the slayer can't fight!"
"Millions" Kouga coughed turning his head away.
"Exactly" Sango added, as Kagome gave Kouga an annoyed look.
"I guess then we'll have to find you a place to stay since Kaede's village is oh so far away from here," Kagome said glancing at Kouga. That's when the idea must have hit because Kouga and Kagome both started smiling and Kouga step forward.
"To show mutt-face here how much of a caring and considerate person I am," Kouga said pointing to Inuyasha who was biting his lip so hard that a small amount of blood began to show, "I will be happy to let the you slayer stay at my place for the month."
" If you think for one second that I would put Sango's safety in your hands then you are defiantly as stupid as I thought. Besides there's no way Sango would to stay with you anyway. Right Sango? I mean he doesn't even know your name." Inuyasha said turning his head in her direction.
Sango was about to say no automatically but then she rethought Kouga's offer. "The mountain that Kouga's clan live in are a great place for me to heal", Sango thought, " And training with wolves would be fun." Thou she didn't like the idea of being with Kouga there could be benefits from it.
" It would only be a month right?" Sango finally answered.
" What!" Inuyasha barked in rage.
"Yes a month would be all the time needed"
"What the hell is going on here?" Inuyasha growled at Miroku this time.
" Inuyasha can I talk to you for a minute?" Kagome said to Inuyasha. They walked away from the group and just like that here Sango was thinking this was a bad idea.
"What am I going to do know?" She thought.
They traveled a little longer until they reached the beginning of Kouga's domain.
"We have to climb." Kouga instructed.
" Ok. Come on Kirara." Sango said but Kirara wouldn't budge.
" What's wrong Kirara?"
"It's the wolf demon scent." Kouga informed her. " It's probably annoying her, so she should head back and find dog breath. I'll have to carry you the rest of the way."
Sango agreed that Kirara should leave, but Kouga didn't have to sound so annoyed about having to carry her. The only reason he hadn't been carrying her from the beginning was because of Inuyasha.
Sango watched Kirara and then let Kouga help her onto his back while she remembered the conversation right before they left.
They were about just about to leave. Kouga had grabbed her stuff and knelt down so Sango could get on his back when Inuyasha began to complained again.
" No way. No freakin' way."
"Now what Inuyasha?" Kagome said. She was getting annoyed.
" Sango can't ride on Kouga because of…. um…her leg. Of course! It's injured and that's why she's going with them in the first place."
" Inuyasha my leg isn't that ba-"
"I think you should ride Kirara there." Inuyasha said cutting of Sango with a smile.
" Then she'll have to fly all the way bac-"
" Good point Sango. That's why she should also stay there. That way she wont have to come back and I'll know you're safe I mean she won't have to come back."
" There is no way that that stupid-" Kouga was about to object but then looked at Kagome and changed his mind.
" Fine let's go." Kouga said rolling his eyes. "Hope you can keep up kitty."
She agreed the Kirara should head back, but he had sounded annoyed now at the fact that he had to carry. "He hadn't had a problem with it early," she thought but then she realized why. Kagome was there to impress. He was trying to show her that he was a caring. Yeah right. Sango should have guess as much. That was why he wanted to carry her to prove to everyone that he was caring and considerate.
"So much for caring." she mumbled as he jumped from rock to rock. Once they got to the entrance of the cave and Kirara was out of site he paused for a moment to think.
"Wait here. I'll be right back." He said placing her down gently on rock near the entrance of a cave. He sat her down and turned into a tornado and ran into the cave.
Sango glanced at the area she was in. The trees, the sky, wait a second? Why was she enjoying the view when she could be inspecting her leg?
" We'll this is a good time to see how bad my leg is." Sango said turning around so she faced the mountain. " Just in case I'm about to fall I can use my hand to keep my balance." But as soon as she stood her leg ached.
" Ouch! Whoa!" She screamed. She had thought that she would fall forward and catch her balance but instead, she was falling backwards almost at the edge of the cliff. She closed her eyes ready to die when a warm hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her up just enough to place her on his back.
" I leave you here for one second and you try to commit suicide? Damn. Your life ain't that bad is it?" Kouga laughed as he grabbed her stuff to take into the cave.
" Ok. everything is set for you but there are two rules-"
" Rules?" Sango said trying not to laugh at Kouga.
" Yes. Rules!" barked Kouga.
" Oh! You're serious? Sorry" Sango said embarrassed.
" Like I said there are two rules for you," He began again, " First thing is don't look any of the guys in the eye except for Hakkaku and Ginta. At least until you're positive they won't kill or eat you. I ordered them not to but if you look them in the eye it might be a little too tempting."
" What?"
" See you know that some wolf demons eat humans. When a human looks them in the eye, its' like a challenge to them and well, the human normally becomes that wolf's food."
Sango bit her lip and tried to listen to the horrible stuff Kouga was telling her.
" So don't do that. The second thing is don't do that thing that you've been doing since we began are trip over here."
" What thing?"
" You know. That I'm completely helpless thing that you did" Kouga said imitating the sigh she had down while she was riding Kirara earlier. Sango let out a laugh and promised.
Now they were in the cave and there were wolves and wolf demons everywhere. Sango had to look at the floor so she wouldn't look any of them in the eye. She didn't see Hakkaku or Ginta though. But she could hear the other wolf demons licking their lips and saw their drool on the cave floor.
" Ugh! They really do want to eat me," She thought as Kouga carried her threw another hallway loaded with more slobbering hounds. She gasped as one had grabbed her arm. Kouga growled and the demon immediately released.
" Oh boy." She thought rubbing her arm, " This is going to be a long month"
