Chapter Two


The two girls sat there on the grassy hill relaxing in the sunshine. The younger girl sighed as she noticed Sango watching her closely, "Why are you staring at me like that Sango-chan?" She finally voiced the question Sango had seen in her eyes just a moment before hand.

Sango frowned slightly looking at her friend. As of latly she had been so protective of Kagome, always being there to watch over her, but in doing so her serect was getting harder to hide. Actually, both of them were becoming harder to hide. And to add onto that Sango had to adjust to the new life she had been threw into and stuck in. Kagome waited quietly for her friend to answer until she could stand it no more.

"Sango!" The sound of her name snapped Sango back to the present.

"Uh...Sorry Kagome-sama. It's just... Are you happy?" Sango looked away from her friend trying to hiding her embarrassment. "What are you talking about?" The miko questioned.

"Well... Are you happy? Living here? With me... And...And... No..him.." The slayer tryed her best to say it as careful as possible. Kagome had gotten better the past couple months, but she had also been quieter and more to herself. Sango would often catch her friend staring off into space looking just so sad she almost couldn't handle it.

"Yes, and no. I'm happy to be here. To be able to show you my world Sango. I've always wanted to do that for some reason..." Sango smiled at this, Kagome wanted to show her this world! Her world! Kagome wanted her around!

The slayer quickly shook herself mentally to listen to Kagome once again.

"And don't get me wrong I'm glad that your here... It's just... I miss everyone else... Shippo, he was like my very own child... And I miss Miroku, I'm sure you do too..." Kagome trailed off realizing that they had not even mentioned the monk once since the well stopped working offically trapping them on this side.

Sango quickly realized her friends thoughts, "Its okay Kagome-sama. Me and Miroku... It wasn't gonna work anyway... To many other woman, and then theres someone else that..." Sango shut her mouth before revealing more leaving the miko to wonder.

'Someone else? Sango-chan Liked someone else? But who...' Images of everyone they had meet up with flashed threw her mind. Inuyasha (Please no!),Kouga, shippo(doutful), Miroku(Not possible anymore...), who? Could it have been someone from before Sango even met up with the pack?

For a moment Kagome was gonna let it slip, she was gonna ask. But she figured the older girl didn't need those questions asked. Hell, Kagome didn't even want to talk about the rest of the pack or about any guys at that moment. It was still to fresh. The damn pain in her heart...

"Kagome... How much do you miss Inuyasha?" The question was quiet and mummbled. If the girl had not been listening to her friend closely like she was, whos face was looking at the ground blocked by her long brunette hair, she wouldn't have heard it at all.

The young miko pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around her legs her bangs casting a shadow over her beautiful face hiding it from Sangos view as she looked up slowly to stare at the girl.

"He... I... I do miss him." Kagome admited. She did, not that it mattered one bit.

"I'm sorry Kagome-sama, I wish there was something I could do for you." Sango replied to the girl sitting next to her. Kagome smiled slightly looking into her friends eyes that where filled with so much worry, so much care, and something else... But Kagome couldn't exactly figure out what that something else was.

"Kagome!"

"Kaggommee!"

"Kagome!"

The two girls looked over at the three girls running towards them at full speed. Sango knew the girls by now. Kagomes friends from school. Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka. Sango swore under her breath at the timing. She still had things she needed to ask Kagome.

But it seemed they would have to wait until later.

"Kagome, Are you still feeling well?" Yuka asked as the three of them sat next to them. Yuka sat a little too close to Kagome, for Sangos liking. This protective thing was maybe getting a little to bad it seems.

Kagome smiled trying to look as happy as possible without looking creeping. She prayed her face didn't seem to weird looking at the moment. "Yea, I feel a lot better. Thanks Yuka."

Eri and Yuka exchanged a look that told Kagome she probably had not been believed. However; they did let it pass, much to Kagomes suprise.

"So Sango, are you enjoying Japan so far?" Eri questioned smiling sweetly at her. Her eyes however, held more emotion in them. Mishit, fake innocents, and was that lust Sango saw? What was wrong with these girls?

"Yes. I like it a lot here." She replied to the girl moving away and to Kagomes side as Kagome leaned against her slightly making her heart skip a beat.

Sango listened as the girls moved back to talking to Kagome while she thought about everything that had been going on. She was trapped here with Kagome, hiding so many things it wasn't even funny anymore. Everyone thought that Sango had once lived here but moved to New york in the .U.S, and that now she was moving back. It was a good cover up for the most part.

Sango could speak good english, actually she could speak almost all languages. Over the years she had been alive, before she joined up with the pack, she had taught herself a number of them. She was a fast learner. She looked to her friend and frowned to herself. Kagome barely knew the real Sango. She didn't know what the slayer really was, how old she actually was, and she only knew Sango spoke japenese, and english. The slayer looked as the girls began to get ready to depart.

Sango couldn't help wondering how much Kagome would hate her if she had to ever find out the truth about her.

Kagome sighed as the sunset slowly and the girls stood saying goodbye. She watched the three girls that she had been best friends with once, walk away. It did sadden her to think that she'd never be as close to them as she once was. Their was to many untold things, their lives were to differen't now.

She didn't have them, she didn't have shippo, or Inuyasha... It made her feel alone. That was until Sango placed a hand on her shoulder as if she understood what Kagome was thinking. Sango... Sango was the only one Kagome had left to actually talk to, the only one to depend on. Sure she had her mom, grandpa, and her little brother. But she couldn't really tell them anything.

It would only cause more problems for them. "Kagome, I'm sorry." Sango whispered. Kagome turned and clung to Sango with everything she had burying her head in the part where her friends shoulder and neck meet breathing her scent that for some reason always seemed to calm her down. The smell of wildflowers, and honey. The demon slayers arms wrapped around the miko holding her close. They stayed this way for only mere moments.

"Sango, why are you sorry?" Kagome asked pulling away and staring her friend in the eyes.

The slayer sighed looking away. "Its my fualt we're stuck here... If I hadn't dragged you to the well-"

Kagome put a finger to Sango's lips to quiet her, as she stared at her friend upset. "Shut up Sango. You saved me! You did it cause you care. And don't you think your the reason for any of my pain! Your the only thing left thats good in my life Sango! So please. Don't. Don't say you regret anything."

Sango stared at her friend in amazment, aw, and shock. "Kagome..."

The young miko shook her head and smiled. "Lets go home Sango." She grabbed her hand as they started walking. Sango felt happy and complete for a moment in time. If only it would stay like this... If only things didn't always have to go wrong.

But things,

Always. Went. Wrong.
