D- Inuyasha does not belong to me, but he will when pigs fly. I have hope .

"Inuyasha, should I go?" Kagome turned around to face the hanyou.

Inuyasha shook his head. "No, you shouldn't go anywhere away from me, it's too dangerous."
Then curiosity kicked in and he grinned. "Where?"

"To search for Sango. I mean- do you think she'll come back on her own? Or-or would it be the friend thing to go after her?" Kagome wrapped her arms around him.

"I think we should go looking for her."

"Inuyasha, I shouldn't have slapped Rhianna like that." She paused in thought and then let her head fall back on Inuyasha's chest. "And maybe we should get to know her before concluding that she is a villain… She is after all doing a favor for Miroku, even if it is hurting Sango. Sango has to understand that she can't force someone to love her back."

'KIKYO!' The though entered her mind and she shoved Inuyasha away from him.

"Ugh!" Inuyasha took in a deep breath after his small forced cry. Kagome shook her head and ran down the steps.

"Inuyasha I have to look for Sango before she goes any further." The half demon was at her side in no time, picking her up onto his back and sprinting off into the town.

Pacing back and forth through the living room was driving him crazy. If he had already decided to go after her then why was he still there? Maybe, his subconscious was telling him to stay there because she was going to come back. He sat down on the floor and took a bowl of noodles in his hands.

'How did you get Sango so mad, stupid monk?' he thought to himself.

The door slid open and in walked a male figure with Sango hand in hand.

"Who the hell is he?" His first outburst was unintentional and so he apologized, trying to keep his anger under control.

"Thank goodness you came back, my dear Sango." Miroku approached her, but the male took a step in between them and shielded Sango from direct eye contact with Miroku.

"If I am correct in my thoughts, this is Miroku." The guy stated.

"And who are you?" the monk eyed him suspiciously. The guy cleaned his hand with a handkerchief and extended it to Miroku who rejected it coldly.
"My name is Maluv." He said as he cleaned his hand again and returned it to Sango's hand.

"I am one of Sango's old friends."

"Friends?" he half laughed.

"As you heard it, monk."

"You're not welcome here, Ma-luv. We are full."

"By the amount of people Sango told me were in this house and since you are keeping an extra, I do believe there is enough rooms and more for peasants who want to come into this house."

"You didn't help in the exorcism and that is the reason that I mean you are not welcome. The owner of the house may get mad for us having an unnecessary person sleeping in this residence. Nothing particularly against you, just that as I said, you are not welcome."

"I don't mind if I sleep in my house and you might as well get used to it because I have heard you have hurt Sango too much. Maybe you're right, we're not friends. I promised Sango long ago that I would return for her so that we would be wed. That is why I am to accompany the group and protect her from you, so you won't be able to hurt her anymore. Sango is my fiancee and even if she had a wishful affair with you, I have returned as promised. Her true love has returned and you have no say in what will happen."

"Is this true, my dear Sango?" he looked at her confused.

"It shouldn't matter to you, Miroku. If you can be in love, I have a right to as well."

Miroku was left shocked and hatred filled his soul.

Maluv led Sango into the hall and into one of the rooms.
Miroku threw the bowl on the floor and it cracked in half.

"Sango, I don't know you…I don't know you the way I thought I had." Miroku made his way to Rhianna's room

He caught her response to that quicker than he had imagined he would.

"And Miroku, you've become a stranger in my eyes."

They arrived in the middle of the night, Inuyasha with Kagome in his arms. Her eyes puffy as if she had been crying. He walked into one of the enormous rooms as disappointed as Kagome that they had not found the taijiya they had looked for.

Inside the room he found Sango lying on the floor and a guy sleeping next to her quite a distance. He quickly stepped out with a smile printed on his face.

'Kagome's gonna be so happy when she wakes up…tomorrow. But who the hell?'
