Chapter Two:
"What is up with her?" Kagome asked. "She's so.... happy..."
"I don't know... I can sense an odd magic around her. It doesn't seem bad... Just... distracting..." Miroku said.
"I think she's just ... Nevermind..." Inuyhasa said.
" No... What were you going to say Inuyasha?" Kagome said.
"Well... I over heard her talking to herself.... About... something..." Inuyasha glanced quickly at the distracted monk.
"Ohh... I get it now..." Kagome said. (Everyone but Miroku knew that Sango liked him...)
Sango was curently sitting on the rock she had sat on three days ago when she was sad. That was the last time she had been sad. She loved this feeling. It was so free... She didn't have to worry about anything.
She was throwing pebbles that she had found and humming some song she had made the other day. The other three didn't have to worry about her hearing them.
"I think I'm actually more worried about her now then I was when she was all sad..." Miroku told them.
"Have you noticed her new necklace? Maybe someone gave it to her and that's why she's happy." Inuyasha said, he really did notice mroe then he let on.
"It's really pretty. But she got it from Kaede the other day." Kagome said.
"Three day's ago... The last time she was sad... She said she had to go see Kaede... She said it was a girl thing." Miroku told them.
"You don't think she...?" Kagome said quietly to Inuyasha. Miroku heard anyway but chose to ignore them.
"She got a rosary or something?" Inuyasha said.
"Something like that... A happiness spell maybe? Do they even exist?"
"Oh gods! What could have made her sad enough to make her get a spell?!" Miroku couldn't ignore it anymore.
"She's lost her family... Her friends... everyone she loved..." Inuyasha said, suprisingthem. He was becoming quite observant, wasn't he.
"But that was atleast a year ago..." Miroku said.
"Could she have been in shock for a year?" Kagome asked.
"Maybe... We don't really know her well enough to tell... She never really talks about her past... Before what happened... She avoids the subject of people's pasts completely." Inuyasha told them
"And since when have you been such an expert on Sango?!" Miroku said.
"You like her." Kagome said. "Don't you?"
"I... No.. I don't..." Miroku stuttered.
"Yes you do!"
"No I don't!"
"Miroku ! If you can't admit it to us how will you ever admit it to her...?" Kagome said. Inuyasha, seeing this as a good time to slip off and talk to Sango, silently sneaked off.
"I... You're right Kagome-sama... I do like her... I love her... But i can't tell her that..."
"Why not?"
"She... She doesn't feel the same..."
"You know that for sure...?"
"Well just look at how she acts... Well how she acted before the spell, around me!"
"You're hopeless, Miroku!" Kagoem said, then turned in the opposite direction Inuyasha had gone in and stormed off. Knowing he would follow. She had noticed Inuyash leave... And she had figured out a plan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sango?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yes?" She said perkily.
"Take off the necklace." He told her.
"What?! No!" She protested.
"Why?" His voice was even, not harsh.
"It's important to me..."
"I wont take it..."
"Fine..." She huffed, as she slipped it over her head. She knew if she didn't take it off herself, Inuaysha would do it for her.
"Now... Talk to me..." He said simply.
"What? Why? What's the differencfe if I talk to you with the necklace on or off?"
"What's wrong?" He asked, making sure he didn't lose his temper with her. Something was wrong, he could sense it.
"Nothing."
"Liar."
"Nothing's wrong! Damnit Inuyasha! Leave me alone!"
"Why are you always so sad?"
"I'm not."
"No... You aren't... Not after you got that necklace you haven't been atleast." He paused. "What's bugging you so much you went to Kaede for a happiness spell?" He was still calm as can be, but Sango was losing her grip. Her eyes had clouded and he could see she was holding back tears.
"... Everythign I've... ever wanted... Everything I want... now... Is my family... back... Love... There's... there's no love anymore..." She was sobbing and he could barely understand her. Why had he gone after her? Kagome could have dealt with her better.
"It's okay... Sh.... Calm down Sango...Shhh.... It's okay... Everything's okay... There is to love... We love you... Me and Kagome love you like family Sango..." He said, pulling her into a hug and letting her cry on his shoulder.
"What about Miroku...?" She asked, still sobbing.
"He loves you to... But not as family... As something more."
"No... he doesn't..."
Miroku, taking the advice Kagome had given him, went to find her. He saw her in a friendly embrace with Inuyasha. she was crying. He heard the last little bit of conversation and wanted deeply to go comfort her. Was it the right thing to do? Was he maikng a mistake? Well if it was it was to late. He started to walk towards them.
Inuyasha, seeing Miroku coming pulled away from Sango. "Tell him you love him. He needs to know." He whispered into her ear. He stood, nodded to Miroku, then left to find Kagome. He had to leave this last bit to Sango, and he hoped she made the right choice.
Sango..." He sighed, hugging her. "I'm sorry. I'm so blind."
"I... I..." She began, but was silenced by Miroku.
"Shh... Sango... I love you... I've loved you since I met you." He told her and kissed her forehead lightly.
"I... I..." She started to cry even more... "I wish I could say the same, Miroku." She whispered, and ran as fast as she could away, dropping the necklace where she had been standing.
Inuyasha and Kagome, who were right behind them through the trees, heard the whole thing.
"Wrong answer..." Inuyahsa mummbled, then sighed.
Miroku sat there, dumbfounded. He had been so sure that she loved him too. He sighed, picked up the necklace Sango had dropped, and walked slowly in the opposite dirrection Sango had ran. Two tears slid down his cheeks before he could realize he was crying. He wiped them away quickly. (its a guy thing... They think it's weak to cry.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango ran, and ran, and ran. She ran until her legs gave ot underneath her. She wanted him to love her almsot as much as she now wanted him to nbot love her. Something she had realized when she was wearing the necklace was that the people she love always get hust because of her. So if she loved no one... No one would get hurt. Right? Wrong. They'd get hurt anyways.
A/N: Right... It's a short chappie... Sowry... i'll probably update tommorow anywho.... but yeah.... ummmm.... reveiw.... pwease... you know you want to.... i think, with the way this is going in my mind so far... That i'll have to change it to angst... but i dunno.... i'll figure it out as i go....
