A Kindred Spirit
Chapter One
This is set at the end of episode 30 Tetsusaiga is stolen! Please let me know what you guys think, and I hope you enjoy. This story will is basically follow closelythe Inuyasha story with a focus on Sango and Inuyasha. I'll try to get a new chapter out at least once a week. Thanks for reading!
"But I can't stay with you, I'd only end up betraying you again," Sango shouted. "While Naruka has Kohaku, I'm a liability. I can't risk betraying you again!"
With a "keh" Inuyasha jumped in front of Sango, folded his arms, and glared at her. "Let me tell you something Sango. You ain't the only one with a cross to bear, ok? So stop acting like you're some kinda martyr. If that was Kikyo, and you had the Tetsusaiga, I'd have done the same damned thing for a chance to save her. So how about we stop this crap and get you patched up so we can get on looking for Naraku? Im tired of wasting time."
Sango looked at Inuyasha, eyes wide. Then without warning, she grabbed onto Inuyasha and started sobbing. Kagome, Miroku, and Shippo looked at the two of them in shock, and Inuyasha looked right back, equally confused. Sango buried her face into the red cloth and sobbed as a child lost oblivious to the looks. After a moment, Inuyasha hugged Sango , then picked her up in his arms. Sango looked questioningly at Inuyasha, and before she could say anything Inuyasha said simply, "Listen you're hurt and need to be treated. If you walk you'll only slow us down, and you cant ride Killala, because you'll just fall off and get hurt worse." Inuyasha looked at his other companions and said, "Lets take Sango to Kaede's village to get healed up. Now lets get going", and with that he started running towards the village with Sango in his arms.
Miroku and Shippo looked on in shock, and Kagome looked on as well….with jealousy. "What just happened? Why did he run off like that? I thought he couldn't even stand Sango, and now here he goes running off with her and talking about Kikyo that way. What a jerk!"
Sango awoke hearing muffled voices, and was disoriented. She looked around a moment, and remembered being carried to Kaede's village, and being treated by the aged priestess. Tea soaked bandages wrapped rightly to her arms and torso, and the room was lit by a single lantern. Shaking her head she hears the voice outside again, rising in anger, and she realizes it's Kagome's voice and she is shouting…..
"Inuyasha, just what is going on?! Why are you ignoring me?! Hello, Earth to Inuyasha, this is Kagome calling! You'd better answer me! What did you mean telling Sango that stuff about you'd have done what she did to save Kikyo, huh? Answer me you jerk!"
"Listen Kagome," Inuyasha shouted back, "I meant what I said and that's all I'm going to say, so drop it. " With a glare Kagome shouts, "SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! In rapid session, resulting in Inuyasha violently being thrown to the grown with each word. Sango, her eyes wide and anger building tries to get up, but her body battered as it is moves very slowly.
"Damn it, stop that Kagome," Inuyasha shouts back. "Fine, you want me to tell you? I will, and not because I respect you, but because I'm tired of you sitting me like you are. You want the truth, I'll give it to ya! I said those things to Sango because I meant it, because I can understand what she's going through. Kikyo was tricked into pinning me to that treee, and I can still feel the pain from that arrow. Fifty years may have passed, but for me it was just a couple of months ago being spellbound as I was. Kikyo died, was revived, and then tried to kill me. Kohaku was killed, her entire family was killed, and then he was brought back by Narauku to attack Sango. Don't you get it or are you to stupid?! I understand her pain because I'm living it myself!" Sango herd shuffling, and Kagome shouting, "Where are you going Inuyasha?!" To which the anger filled response was a simple one word answer: "Away"
Sango managed to reach the door just as Inuyasha ran off, leaving an visibly upset Kigome, her fists clenched, alone in the fading twilight. With a sigh, the demon slayer returned to the futon.
