The next day Miroku left because of a suprise visit from Hachi. Once again the raccoon dog thought that Master Mushin was going to die, and Miroku went to make sure that everything was alright. The rest of the group was sitting in Kaede's hut having breakfast. Inuyasha and Sango had been been giving glaces at each other the whole time, and Kaede knew something was up. She just smiled and continued fixing up the hut. Suddenly Inuyasha froze. Sango lookeed at him confused, then Kagome walked into the hut with Koga behind her.
"Kagome?!" Sango asked startled.
"Hi Sango!" She greeted.
"Kagome!" Shippo shouted jumping into her arms.
"Hello Shippo! I missed you!"
Inuyasha turned his head looking away. Sango knew Inuyasha didn't want to see her. Kagome looked at Inuyasha and glared at him. Suddenly Sango felt really angry. Then Inuyasha stood up and walked pass Kagome and Koga, and out the door. Koga turned and followed him.
"Koga where are you going?" Kagome asked.
"After the mutt." He said with Kagome following him.
Sango had a feeling Koga was going to start glotting and she didn't want that. She quickly stood up and ran after them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango finally caught up to them to see them in the clearing.
"What are you still doing here mutt? I thought you'd be gone by now."
"Well too bad for you, you scrany wolf." Inuyasha growled.
"I don't see why your staying here Inuyasha. No one cares for you, how could someone care about you?" Kagome said.
Sango got even angrier and started making her way over to them, as Kagome kept talking.
"No one likes a worthless half demon. You should just kill yourself and free this world of your horried........."
Kagome was cut off in the middle of her sentence by Sango smacking her across the face. Kagome held her cheek and looked at Sango, as Inuyasha stared in shock. Koga held on to Kagome's shoulders and glared at Sango.
"How dare you talk about Inuyasha that way in his face!" Sango shouted.
"What's gotten into you Sango?!" Kagome shouted.
"No what's gotten into you?! Going off with that damn wolf! How could you do that to Inuyasha? If anyone is worthless it is you and Koga! Now I see how you really are Kagome your nothing but a selfcentered, whiny, two-faced bitch!"
Kagome's jaw hung open and Koga started getting in Sango's face.
"How dare you call Kagome those things, you stupid slayer!"
Koga shouted raising his fist to hit her. As Koga's fist was about to hit Sango, Inuyasha grabbed it. Koga glared at Inuyasha, as Inuyasha returned the glare.
"Don't you dare lay a finger on her....." Inuyasha warned.
Koga glared at Inuyasha and yanked his fist away from him.
"Sango why are you on Inuyasha's side?" Kagome asked.
"Because I made a promise and I plan to keep it and..........well the rest isn't for you to know! You should just leave with Koga!"
"Maybe I will!" Kagome yelled.
After a few moments Kagome got on Koga's back and they raced off heading toward the western lands where Koga's den was. Sango and Inuyasha stared at the direction they left. Sango sighed and looked at the ground. She couldn't believe Kagome, she swore it was like she was posessed or something. Inuyasha looked at her worried.
"Sango is everything alright?" He asked.
"Yea I just can't believe Kagome she used to love you so much. Now........I just don't get it........"
"Its ok. Koga didn't get too much in your face did he?"
"No you stopped him. Thank you."
"No problem." Inuyasha said, then there was a long pause.
"Sango?"
"Yes Inuyasha?"
"If I told you........I.........loved you..........would you believe me?"
Sango stared at Inuyasha in shock. He had thought the same thing as her and she could believe it.
"What if I said the same thing...." She blushed.
Inuyasha smiled and grabbed her hand, and slowly they headed back to the village.
"I accepted it."
Inuyasha finally said. Sango looked up at him, and for the first time in her life she felt like she found her long lost soul mate.
"I accept too Inuyasha."
Sango smiled and leaned on Inuyasha's shoulder. Then she remembered the monk. What was she going to tell him? He already proposed to her, but then again he was still a womaniser. How could she trust him that he wouldn't cheat on her with another woman when he still does it and they are engaged. Sango sighed she knew Inuyasha wasn't like that, but then she thought of Kikyo. She was still walking around somewhere and she knew Inuyasha still had feelings for her. Then she noticed that Inuyasha had confessed his love for her. If Inuyasha had told Kagome he loved her she still be with him, and Kagome would of told her, but she never did. She wondered if he had told Kikyo that he loved her. Then again Kikyo never told Inuyasha she loved him. They never really trusted eachother either. Only the need to be wanted kept them together, and Sango didn't think that was true love. She thought to herself more about the monk. She did love Miroku at one point in time on their journy, but her love slowly faded as he kept flirting with women. Sango was so confused about what to do, but for some reason she felt like she belonged with Inuasha. She thought that Kami had made them meet for a reason. Sango smiled softly and leaned more on Inuyasha arm. Inuyasha looked down at Sango when he felt her rest more on his shoulder. Then he saw a stray tear slide down her cheek. He stopped and cupped Sango's face and whipped the tear away.
"Sango why are you crying?"
Sango took her hand and whipped a tear, she didn't realize she was crying.
"I....I...I guess I am just confused Inuyasha. I mean.......Miroku...."
Inuyasha looked at Sango. He knew what she was getting at. He knew the monk had proposed to her, and he knew it would be hard to tell the monk.
"We'll figure something out don't worry."
Inuyasha smiled and hugged her. Sango smiled and returned the hug, then they returned to the village.
Sadly a small young Shippo was waiting for them.
"Where is Kagome?" Shippo asked.
"She went home with Koga." Sango said sadly.
Inuyasha sat outside the hut and stared at the sky as the demon slayer and fox kit talked about Kagome.
"Is Kagome coming back?"
"I don't know Shippo. She seems to care for Koga more than Inuyasha, and that isn't right. You know some of the things we told about Kagome when she left."
"That she had called Inuyasha some bad names, but maybe he deserved it."
"Shippo listen to me the things Kagome said to Inuyasha was uncalled for. He had done nothing wrong."
"Sango tells the truth Shippo." Kaede said walking out from the back of the hut.
"Kagome told Inuyasha things that were not like her. Ye see she told Inuyasha that he was just a worthless half demon."
"That doesn't sound like Kagome." Shippo said.
"That is why we think something is wrong with her. She was always kind, so why is she acting like this now?"
"Do ye think Kagome maybe possesed Sango?"
"I don't know Kaede. I really hope not, if she is not then why is she acting like this."
"Do you think Koga might have forced her?"
Shippo asked looking at the slayer. Sango thought for a minute, but knew Koga wouldn't do that to her, and Kagome would never let anyone force her around. Sango was once again stuck on the thought of what was going on with her friend.
