Chapter 2

Sango's POV

I woke up to the sun shining into my eyes. I knew I should have closed those blinds before I went to sleep last night. Oh well. For the first time in about a couple weeks, I actually felt rested. It was an odd feeling, and I couldn't figure out why until I glanced at my clock that read 11:30am. I was supposed to be at work 30 minutes ago!

"Damn I'm late! No wonder I felt so rested." I cursed as I jumped out of bed and hurried to the bathroom. I quickly brushed my teeth, threw on my uniform—not bothering to do my hair or put on any make-up—grabbed my coat and shoes, and hurried out of my apartment. It takes me about an half hour to get to work since I ride the train, so there was no way I would be on time now!

"I'm so stupid! How could I forget to set my alarm?" I wondered to myself as I ran down the crowded streets of Tokyo towards the subway. Sure people probably thought I was some nutcase talking to myself while running down the street, but that was the last thing I needed to be worrying about right now. I finally reached the subway at 11:55, and just in time to catch the noon train. I was about to slow my pace down a little, but then I heard the squeak of the train wheels coming into the station. I cursed and ran down the steps, ignoring the pounding in my chest as I tried my best to get through the crowd of people walking unbearably slow. "Excuse me! I'm trying to get through here! Out of my way, please!" I shouted as I pushed through the people passing by. There was the train! The doors were open for a while so I knew I didn't have much time. Then the soft bell came to signal that the doors were closing. "No, please! Hold that door!" I shouted as I neared the closing doors. I jumped into the small space in between the doors, only to slip on some idiot's shoelace.

"Well this is just great. I'm going to die in a horrible train accident, just because I didn't want to be late for work." I thought as I felt myself falling to the floor. I closed my eyes and waited for the doors to close on me, but they never did. I felt myself being pulled slightly, so I opened my eyes to find myself in the arms of a tall man with long silver hair. I also realized that he had pulled me through the doors of the train before they closed.

"Oh, thank you sir." I said, blushing as I slowly got out of his arms and brushed myself off. "Are you alright?" He asked, his tone serious and yet so familiar. "Yes I'm alright. I guess I should've just waited for the next train." I added with a chuckle. The man only nodded slightly, so I sat down on one of the empty seats next to him as the train began to move.

"That man looks so familiar. Where have I seen him before? Have I even seen him before?" I thought to myself as I quickly glanced over at the man who saved me. He was leaning against a metal pole reading the newspaper. As I gazed over his features, it suddenly hit me. Long silver hair, golden-amber eyes, and that calm voice! It was the customer from last night! I was surprised that I hadn't noticed it before. "It was awful nice of him to help me out." I thought as I looked over at him. The more I looked at him, the more I began to notice how attractive he was. Wait...is he looking at me? I began to think my eyes were playing tricks on me, until the man came over and sat down beside me.

"Are you sure you're alright? You seem a bit shaken." He asked, frowning slightly.

"Wow his eyes are beautiful…" I thought. Then I realized he was waiting for an answer. "Oh! Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for asking though." I answered, smiling slightly. He nodded. "Alright, just try to be careful."

"Sango? Hey, Sango!" A female voice called. I blinked and looked up to see my friend Kagome looking down at me with concern on her face. "Are you ok Sango? You've been sitting at this booth for about 20 minutes, and Kayede is starting to worry." Kagome said frowning. I looked around and sighed, realizing that she was right. The owner Kayede would start to worry if I didn't get back to work soon. "I'm fine Kagome. I was just thinking about something, that's all." I answered with a small smile as I stood up. "Really? What were you thinking about? It must be something serious to have you in a state like that." Kagome asked. I shook my head. "It's nothing, really. Let's just get back to work ok?" Kagome shrugged and walked over to a couple that had just sat down.

The truth was I couldn't stop thinking about that man who saved me; the customer who never wanted to leave the store at night. I wondered if he would come to the store again tonight, just to say hello. Maybe if he did I could get his name. Was I getting ahead of myself? He probably wouldn't want to get to know me. He was just a high-class business man doing a good deed. I probably should've gotten his name while I was on the train…

"Excuse me, miss?"

I turned around quickly, to see a man with his hand raised. It wasn't the man from before.

"Can I get some more coffee please?" He asked. I forced a warm smile. "Of course." I answered walking over to him.

The night went on and soon it was close to closing time. I looked around the whole store, and there was still no sign of the man. I was discouraged and abandoned the idea of ever seeing him in this store again. Just as I thought, it was closing time and the store was empty as usual. "Hey Sango can you lock up for me? I need to get home early tonight." Kagome asked as she grabbed her coat and headed for the door. "Oh yeah, sure. Goodnight." I said before she left. I began cutting off all the lights and grabbed my keys and coat before walking out, locking the door behind me and heading for the midnight train.

Broken: That's a bit longer and better don't you think? In any case, I'm sure there will be questions about this so I'm just going to answer them now:

1. Yes I will be switching POVs from Sesshoumaru to Sango in almost every chapter. There will be some cases when the POV will remain the same, but I'll point that out so people won't get confused.

2. Sorry there won't be any character chat at the end of each chapter like I normally would do. The only reason for this is because there's only 2 main characters so I don't see the point. But if you really want me to include the character chat, just let me know. Review Please!
