Guardian Angel

I would like to say thank you to all who read this and I most definitely do not own Inuyasha.

Sango continued to walk down the dark street checking the light pink watch that adorned her wrist as she admonished herself for not leaving earlier, Kohaku and father will be frantic! She was so engrossed with searching her messenger bag for the cell phone her father had given her that she didn't see the shadows that slowly followed her every move.

The three shadows that had been tracking her suddenly struck with the speed of a snake but the grace of a bulldog. Their lumbering stride alerted Sango of their presence as she slowly turned around to see the three thugs that were now surrounding the girl in the center. There was no one else on the streets.

Slowly Sango crouched into a defensive position as the first and most idiotic of them stumbled forward, his large hands reaching to grasp her shoulders, finding nothing but air. Sango had weaved forward and jabbed her fingers into a single nerve ending that caused the huge bear of a man to collapse.

The pair that was left suddenly converged on Sango enraged of the falling of their comrade. Yet they were both stupid as well and soon Sango had caused both to fall unconscious. This was when the black belt in karate had left down her guard and didn't notice the last shadow that just about to stab her with the rusty old knife that he had clasped in his hand.

With no warning the last man lunged forward the old knife still sharp and the tip had barely touched Sango's skin when he froze. In his back was a single sapphire arrow as the arrow spread covering the man's body in a thin sheath of sapphire.

Without turning around Sango stepped forward unknowing of the danger that had nearly taken her. She walked without a quaver in her step confidence in her stride. The figure that hovered above her unseen in the dark gave a small sigh of relief that she hadn't seen the newly created statue. With a snap of the man's slender fingers the statue disappeared. He stowed the sapphire bow into his quiver as the eyes which clear color matched his weapon focused on the figure that now disappeared from his view.

"Good she's safe." The mystery man whispered as pale blue wings spread forward from his back and he flew off.

By the time Sango got home it was nearing eleven o' clock as she fell to the throes of sleep. All night she had nightmares yet each time the nightmares had appeared the shadow of a man dressed in black robes appeared each time a staff held in his hands, protecting her in a way as he fought the dark demons of her past she slept soundly.

Soon morning had come and with the first few rays of dawn her nightmares had disappeared and hidden from the sunlight. Her protector began to fade away but before doing so turned and allowed Sango to catch a single glance of sparkling, clear blue eyes before he faded away completely.

Gradually Sango woke and rose from her bed thinking of the pure blue eyes that had watched over her that night. Throughout the rest of the day she could think of nothing other than those blue eyes. Even when she went to meet up Kagome, Kikyo, and Rin at the park she couldn't focus at all and the girls all noticed.

Kagome and Rin were immediately curious and persisted in their questioning the entire way toward the park. Kikyo was although Kagome's twin was quiet and normally calm excluding when someone threatened her or her friends for both she and Kagome were masters in archery.

Finally Sango's patience wore thin with the two girls and finally spoke of what was troubling her.

"Oh fine it was just a dream I had nothing more." Sango attempted a blatant expression…but apparently that failed since Kagome and Rin's smiles just grew as both of them had been acting matchmakers for Sango ever since high school started. The two girls gave each other a look and simultaneously said

"Is it a boy?"

"WHAT? Umm, no well in a way yes, but…" Sango wasn't allowed to finish for both Rin and Kagome began to squeal, scream, etc.

"What's he like?"

"Well he's technically not real. He's from my dream if you would allow me to finish!" Sango shot a LOOK at both Kagome and Rin as their screams died down and as they began to plot. Uh Oh bad idea when both Kagome and Rin plotted usually it ended up badly…really badly.

Well not always sometimes it came out alright for last time they were plotting for Sango to go out on a date Kagome had fallen for Inuyasha, Sango's set up date and Rin fell for Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's step-brother. So their plotting didn't always turn out to disasters, but the other ¾'s of the time it turned out horribly or at least bad.

Kagome turned around to face Sango and began to speak as Kikyo rolled her eyes at Kagome with one of her harebrained schemes AGAIN!

"Hey Sango describe this dream guy of yours."

"Well I didn't really see much of him. All I saw was that he was wearing black robes, and that he had clear sapphire blue eyes."

Kagome gave a thoughtful smile as she continued to walk backwards soon she had tripped over a protruding stone. Flinching she expected the hard concrete to connect with her back. Instead it was a warm arms that caught her and held on.

Heads all turned towards the man who had caught Kagome.

"Feh. Why do you always have to be such a klutz?" said the man in a gruff voice.

Immediately Kagome turned around and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Inuyasha and anyways it's not like I fall on purpose!" This began ANOTHER fight between the two. They always argued and made up five minutes after arguing it was an odd quirk between the couple.

Everyone edged around the short-tempered couple and continued down the small path as Sesshomaru silently joined the group and took his place next to Rin's side. Soon Kagome and Inuyasha caught up and soon all reached a circle of benches which surrounded the fountain.

Everyone began to chat about homework, teachers, and of course Rin and Kagome had to bring up the subject about the crushes Sango and Kikyo could possibly have. The two subjects of the conversation quietly enduring it as Kagome and Rin debated it between the two of them.

Suddenly a smooth voice cut into the conversation.

"Hey Kagome."

"Oh hey Miroku. What are you doing here?" Kagome replied in a chipper voice. Inuyasha gave a growl as he stepped in front of Kagome, his eyes giving a death glare. Jealousy permeating his entire body. It seemed to radiate everywhere and everyone slowly scooted away from him.

Amazingly Miroku stood his ground and faced his glare with a cheerful smile. Kagome immediately leaped up and stood between the two males. Kagome turned her eyes to Inuyasha and gave him the LOOK. Needless to say he immediately backed down. Now turning to Miroku Kagome introduced him to the rest of the group.

When Sango looked away from the fuming Inuyasha for a quick introduction, she was caught by his eyes. They were blue, a dark blue, a blue that perfectly matched the color of the eyes from her dream down to the flecks of purple that were deeply buried among the blue gems which surrounded it. Who was he and why did he match the man from her dreams perfectly?
