I Wish You Knew.

Thanks you to those who have reviewed! I really appreciate it!

Disclaimer: Inuyasha does not belong to me but if I did Inuyasha and Sango would definately be together!

Previously :

No need to overreact. Kagome didn't need to know that her heartbeat was practically 500 beats per minute when a certain hanyou was near. She couldn't betray her best friend like that. Or did she already betray her without completely realizing it?

Chapter 2

Questions and Confusion.

Later that day, our favorite travelers were back on their previous mission. What mission? Killing Naraku, duh! Since that morning there had been a uncomfortable silence, so tense that even Shippo remained quiet. Ever since that morning everyone had been quiet for an unknown reason. Something seemed to be wrong with Sango, but she refused to say what it was. In fact, she refused to say anything at all. Her unusual silence made the group uncomfortable and putting them in the state they are now.

It seemed that Sango was lost in her own thoughts and was completely oblivious to the rest of the group's discomfort. Even Inuyasha couldn't help but notice the change of attitude. Sango's ignorance was tolling on his nerves and he was tempted to do something about it. What exactly, he wasn't sure, but anything was better than this. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, Kagome already beat him to it.

" Inuyasha?"

"What?" he replied gruffly. Why was it that every time he was going to talk someone interrupted him?

"Don't you think that it's time for us to set up camp for the night?" she asked.

" Yeah, sure why not?" he replied.

"Alright everyone, let's set up!" Kagome said trying to be as cheerful as possible.

Under normal circumstances Inuyasha wouldn't have agreed to setting up so early, but these weren't normal circumstances. He sighed and leaped into a tree closing his eyes, trying to relax.

Meanwhile, Sango was wishing she could relax also. She glanced up to where Inuyasha was sitting, wishing she could be up there with him and be by his side. "No! This is not the time for such thoughts!" She busied herself by helping Kagome set up camp, hoping she could get a certain hanyou out of her mind.

Noticing Sango's discomfort, Kagome looked at Sango suspiciously, trying to figure what was wrong with her friend. She looked so lost and confused. "Maybe she'll tell me what's wrong , if I can convince her to go to the hot springs with me." Kagome thought cleverly. If she could get Sango away from the others, maybe she would tell her what's going on. "Since the hot springs are relaxing and calming it should be easier for her to tell me what's upsetting her." Feeling happy about her plan, Kagome started to make dinner.

Miroku was sitting by the fire, watching Sango carefully. He watched her every move, not taking his eyes from her for even a second. He watched her movements, her actions, but what was most confusing was her facial expressions. One second she would look content, but then the next she would look angry and confused then she would be content again. It seemed as if she was thinking of something that made her relaxed, but then would think of something that would make her upset and then be relaxed again. It was a process she repeated over and over again.

As Miroku continued to stare, Sango started to feel very insecure. It was like something or someone was staring at her, trying to read her inter most thoughts. She glanced up and saw Miroku staring at her suspiously. She blushed and looked away, not knowing what to do. "What reason does he have to stare at me like that?" She thought. Internally, she gasped and thought, "Is it possible that he knows my secret?"

She looked up at Miroku and tried to read the his facial expressions. He noticed her staring at him at looked away, slightly embarrassed at being caught staring by the person he was staring at. Sango blushed again and tried to ignore him."There is no way he could know!" With these thoughts in mind, she continued working on dinner.

"Sango?" Miroku asked as he stood up, brushing his clothes of dirt in the process.

"Yes, Miroku?" She asked casually.

" I'm going to get some more wood for the fire, would you please accompany me?" he asked politely. If he could get Sango alone, maybe she would tell him what's bothering her. They were going to be married someday, and for who better could she tell her problems to than to her future husband?

" Uh, sure Miroku." she said uncertainly. Miroku's request seemed little weird to her.

"Why does Miroku want us to be alone? He could of easily asked Shippo to go with him." She stood up, hesitantly, and walked beside him, a little uncomfortable.

These feeling sort of confused her. It wasn't like she hadn't been alone w/ him before ,on journeys or when the group had to split up. But then again, during those times, Inuyasha was someone she didn't give a single romantic thought to. Or maybe it wasn't just that: It could of been Miroku's feelings for her that made her uncomfortable. He said loved her and wanted to marry her, which was something that she was looking forward to. Now, it was something that she was dreading. With each passing day she imagined the ceremony that would bind her eternally to a man she did not love anymore. Sango secretly wondered if she ever loved him at all or was all just an infatuation. Was he just someone who comforted her in her time of need and helped her through the hard times, but could never be more than a friend? It was all so confusing.

"- and I was wondering what's troubling you."

It was then that she realized that Miroku had been speaking to her.

" I'm sorry Miroku, what did you say?"

A little hurt that she wasn't even paying attention, he went on anyway.

"I said, that lately you have seemed pretty distracted and lost in thought and

I was wondering what's troubling you."

"Nothing bothering me, Miroku!" she said a little too fast. The last thing she needed was for him to find out her secrecy.

He stopped in his tracks and took both of Sango's hands in his own. If this didn't get her, nothing would.

"Sango, it hurts me to see you like this." He looked deeply into her eyes trying to break the barrier that she had long ago built. " I wish you would tell me what is bothering you, so I can help fix it." He grabbed her into an embrace and held her tightly.

Sango's mind was racing with thoughts. She didn't know to say or do. She vaguely felt his tight embrace and hoping he would let go soon.

"There is nothing you can do, Miroku. Even you can't fix this problem."

She thought hopelessly. Even the greatest smooth alder couldn't convince Inuyasha to fall in love with her, or least notice her very being.

Sango felt like crying. Here was a man who loves her and all she could think about was when he would let go of her so they could leave. Miroku's feelings for her did nothing give her even more heartache for something that just isn't meant to be. Her love for Inuyashaand Miroku's love for her.

Suddenly, she felt a familiar hand on her rear. Sango's previous thoughts of despair were replaced with anger as a loud slap was heard though the forest.

Ok, that was chapter 2! What did you think? Let me know in your reviews!

I need 5 reviews before I post the next chapter!

Thanks to those who reviewed! It is greatly appreciated.

ms.deep- Thanks for the compliment! Actually this is not my first fic. Well, it is, but it's not. This is the first fic that I have a good plot for and that I can finish! (LOL)

dudei'mlikesobus- This originally was going to be a one-shot, but I felt like I could put more into it and decided to make it a chapter fic.

sora.taiji-ya- Thanks for the compliment and yes I will update soon!

biggz- Your question was can I make a Sango/Inuyasha lemon. Currently I'm making one, but I'm not sure if it's going to be in this story or just in the other one I'm writing. Thanks for the idea though.

Harrypottergrl19- Thanks for all the compliments! Thye are very encouraging!
