Inu-Yasha

Betrayal of the New Moon

Two

When Sango woke up the next morning, she felt the chilly morning air brush against her almost completely nude skin which was only covered by Inu-Yasha's fire rat's robe. She blushed as last night's event of them making love rushed through her mind. Guilt and happiness automatically ran through her veins as she tried to push Kagome and Miroku out of her mind. She would have to tell them eventually that she was now with Inu-Yasha, and she hoped that she and Inu-Yasha would get married soon, especially since there was a great possibility that she was with child now after their coupling last night. Well, she hoped that Inu-Yasha wouldn't marry her just because he had to, but because he wanted to as he said that he wanted to be with her last night.

Groggily, she groped around the wooden floor, trying to search for Inu-Yasha, wanting to be close to him, but couldn't find him. "Inu-Yasha?" She asked as she now opened her brown eyes and sat up, keeping his robe close to her exposed body; trying to cover herself with it. She noticed how he wasn't next to her, where he was when she fell asleep and he wasn't even in the cabin. 'Where did he go?' She wondered as she looked around the empty cabin.

Reluctantly, she got up and quickly got dressed before she walked out side. "Inu-Yasha?" She asked but no one was there. 'Seriously, where is he?' She asked herself and walked back in to grab hold of Hiraikoutsu, she walked back out side.

When she walked back out, Inu-Yasha was heading back to the cabin with something obviously dead in his hands. When he got in to talking range, he stopped and looked at her. The feeling she got from his eyes last night was gone and was left with a completely different feeling.

"We'll eat and then we'll leave, I don't like this woods, forest, whatever it is." Inu-Yasha said somewhat coldly and walked right past by her with out a simple high or good morning. There was something strangely cold about the hanyou; too cold from his action towards her last night.

Somewhat hesitantly, the taijiya followed the hanyou inside the cabin and stood by the door and watched as Inu-Yasha put his fire rat robe back on and then started to clean his catch. "Umm… Inu-Yasha…" Sango said meekly, afraid of what his reaction would be. She knew that he loved her, but his cold silence was really beginning to get to her.

"Feh, what?" Inu-Yasha asked not bothering to look up at her.

"Last night," Sango said blushing. "What are we going to tell Kagome-Chan and the others?" She asked.

"Nothing," Inu-Yasha answered a little too quickly for Sango's liking.

"Nothing?" Sango asked.

"Yes, nothing." Inu-Yasha answered. "Because nothing happened last night."

This hit Sango deeply. It was worse then an physical wound she had ever got and she had gotten quite a few. It felt just as bad as it did when Naraku had killed her family and friends right in front of her that day when her journey first began. "But Inu-Yasha, you said…"

"Damn you wench!" Inu-Yasha growled and stood up at that moment. Sango backed in to the wall, afraid that he would hit her. It wasn't that she couldn't stand the pain, but it was just because it was Inu-Yasha who would be hurting her. "I can't believe that my human side did that to you but you where no better taijiya." Inu-Yasha said loudly and coldly. "I can't believe that you, an engaged woman of all people, would make your self so low and turn in to a slut!"

Sango forced a laugh. "A slut Inu-Yasha, is that all I am to you now after all of the pleading you did?" She asked coldly. "So you deflowered me and that's it?" She asked angrily. "What about what you said to me last night?" She asked now shouting at him. "I betrayed people who I care about deeply just for you and for what? A one night stand Inu-Yasha?" She asked shouting. "Damn you, you bastared, damn you to hell!" She shouted and was out the door before Inu-Yasha could say anything.

It wouldn't have mattered if she had waited around to hear his reply, he wouldn't have said anything any way. She ran, almost blindly. She paid enough attention just to be able to make her way back when she was ready.

Facing Kagome and Miroku would be harder then she thought. Had Inu-Yasha been by her side, she would have done it with no problem, but now that Inu-Yasha refused to accept her, she wouldn't be able to even tell them.

What was she thinking when she made love to the hanyou last night? She was an engaged woman, who was going to be married to Miroku once their fight with Naraku was over with. Now, she would never be able to marry him, even if she didn't really love him, she knew that he had feelings for her, or at least acted like he did and it would hurt him. When she saw them again, she would eventually tell Miroku that she couldn't marry him; she wouldn't do it right away, but over the next few months she would. Then once their fight with Naraku was over, she would go back to her village, wait, what was she thinking; she didn't have any right to go back there now that she had slept with a hanyou. The tears kept coming since she couldn't stop them, nor did she try.

Once her tears where gone, and her feelings where emotionless, she stood up and headed back to the hut. She would not let Inu-Yasha see that he hurt her, not any more. She would swear off all men, what good was it to have a man, especially if they ended up like Inu-Yasha? She wondered as she headed back to the cabin. Miroku wasn't any better, he was constantly hitting on women even though she was around, so he wasn't any better then the hanyou. No, she wouldn't let this get to her, she forced the thoughts of Inu-Yasha being with her like that out of her mind. He was a comrade, nothing more, nothing less.

When she got back to the cabin, she ate because her body needed it. She stood up and walked out side once she was done, not being able to stand being in the same room where so many hopes and dreams had been shattered. Once Inu-Yasha walked out, they left.

………

Two days had passed since that night in the cabin and not a word was spoken between either one of them. They stopped only because she was a "weak human" and needed her rest unlike Inu-Yasha who could keep up for days and possibly even weeks at a time if needed to be.

She felt hollow and empty inside and trying to show no emotions was really beginning to wear her down. She was tired both physically and mentally and didn't know how to deal with the stress. The sun set and the autumn air grew chillier. She wondered where they where and when they where going to meet up with the others. The others, a sickening feeling landed in her stomach as she thought about Kagome and Miroku. What was she going to do when she saw them? Inu-Yasha acted like nothing happened but she knew that something happened between them but he told her that nothing did and that she wouldn't mention a word of it to Miroku or Kagome.

Miroku, she was engaged to the monk and Kagome was her best friend, a younger sister even. Pain spread through her mind at what it would be like when she met them. Kagome smiling happily as she spotted her and Inu-Yasha both safe and sound and Miroku not suspecting a thing, who still expected them to get married once Naraku was dead. She hurt from the guilty feeling in her heart, she wanted to break down and cry, but her pride wouldn't let her. She wouldn't let Inu-Yasha see how much he had truly hurt her. Standing up from where she laid, she started to walk off.

"Feh, where are you going?" Inu-Yasha asked annoyedly.

Sango didn't answer but continued on walking. She suddenly felt Inu-Yasha grab hold of her wrist tightly which actually hurt and with a flip of the wrist, she managed to free her arm.

"Don't wonder off." Inu-Yasha growled.

"Since when did you start caring about my welfare?" Sango asked coldly and saw a strange look in his eye that she couldn't exactly place. What did she just see, hurt, love, confusion? She turned back in the direction to where she was headed in and walked off.

"Don't wonder off too far, there are youkai out here." Inu-Yasha said.

'He seems to forget who he's talking to.' Sango thought annoyedly. She wasn't a weak woman who couldn't defend herself, she was raised as a taijiya and held a weapon before she could even speak. With out saying another word, she was off.

……..

Kagome laid down on her sleeping bag; thankful for once at the room in the village that Miroku managed to get him due to his "getting rid of youkai or bad spirit acts", she faced the wall with Shippou cuddled against her back. She turned around so that she could face Miroku and Shippou. "Miroku-Sama…" Kagome said quietly.

"What?" Miroku asked sleepily from his side of the room.

"Do you think that Sango-Chan and Inu-Yasha are alright?" Kagome asked.

Kiara mewed at the sound of her master's name and Kagome petted the cat youkai in between the ears.

"This is Sango and Inu-Yasha that you're talking about Kagome-Sama." Miroku reminded the miko.

"Yes, you're right." Kagome said. "Where do you think we should go? We where headed back towards Kaeade's village before we where attacked, but do you think that they'll still go that way?" She asked.

"Knowing Inu-Yasha, yes." Miroku answered and yawned. "We had a long day and will have a long one again tomorrow as well."

"Yes, sorry, I'm just worried that's all." Kagome said. "Good night."

……..

Sango was being stupid and she knew it. She had just run off with barley keeping track on how to get back just because she needed to get away from Inu-Yasha. Suddenly, she heard a crunching nose which made her stand still, to try and listen to where it came from. She placed her hand on her katana since she didn't want to alert whatever it was that she heard it by aiming for Hiraikoutsu. Her katana was right there at her waist and was almost invisible because it was dark out. Something wild attacked her, it was faster than her katana and it bit her shoulder causing her to scream.

……..

Inu-Yasha dropped what he had in his hand and ran in the direction Sango went minutes ago. 'Dumb ass!' He swore as he dashed through the bushes after her sent and what was that… blood… He would recognize that sent any where. He only ran faster to get to her side, she had her weapons with her so what was she thinking about? Wait, what was he thinking about? Why did he care about her so much as to chase after her as he was?

……..

Sango managed to through the youkai off of her and grabbed for Hiraikoutsu off of her back. She blocked it as it tried to attack her again and could feel as it managed to knock her down to her knees. Her shoulder throbbing as it was wasn't helping the matters any but she could come through with this, she didn't need Inu-Yasha's help, she could fight this youkai on her own as she had fought and killed so many other youkai.

"Flesh, human flesh, it has been so long since my mouth has tasted it." The youkai said and Sango managed to throw him off. She held Hiraikoutsu in one hand and grabbed hold of her shoulder with the other. She automatically felt wet blood through her taijiya outfit. 'Shit!' She swore. She threw Hiraikoutsu at the youkai who dodged it and charged at her again.

Hiraikoutsu was coming back around but she didn't have time to catch it since the youkai was already seven inches in front of her. (And I know that in Japan they don't use inches but I'm not sure from the top of my head how far 7 inches is in centimeters, which I'm pretty sure that the Japanese use.) She quickly pulled her katana out and thrust it up in to the youkai's stomach. As she started to push it upward, she felt the youkai's mouth on her shoulder again, causing her to grit her teeth in pain as the youkai attacked her open wound.

"Baka!" Inu-Yasha hissed suddenly. "This is why I told you not to go wondering off!" He shouted as he pulled out Tetsiaga and easily slashed the youkai in half. "Feh, weakling." He spat as he watched the youkai fall to the ground.

Sango pulled her katana out of the youkai and in one swift motion, cleaned the blood from her blade before putting it back in to its sheath. "I don't remember asking for your help Inu-Yasha." She snapped. "And I didn't need it either."

Inu-Yasha snorted. "Didn't need it?" He asked somewhat offended. "You were screaming at the top of your lungs with a flesh eating youkai trying to eat you and you say that you don't need my help?" Inu-Yasha asked thinking over the situation again. "Damn it onna, what is your problem?" He asked.

Sango was beginning to feel dizzy from the blood loss and her shoulder throbbed. What was her problem? She couldn't believe that he even had to ask that? Was he so dense that he didn't get that he was her problem? She wanted to kill him right now and could have had she been able to see straight. She opened her mouth to say something but only a moan of pain unwillingly escaped from it and she grasped hold of her wound, trying to get the blood to stop coming. She stumbled and Inu-Yasha quickly grabbed hold of her which made her feel both comfort and hatred towards the hanyou. "My problem…" Sango managed to get out as she tried to keep conscious long enough to tell him. "My problem…" She attempted again as her breathing came nothing more then huffs as the pain and dizzyness took over. 'Is you…' She thought as darkness took her.

I know that its a bit dramatic but that's how I wanted to do it. I've never really written a mostly drama based fic so far and thought that this would be my chance. Thanks for all of the reviews so far and please review!
