I'm Sorry.

Okay. So. This chappie is REALLY REALLY short. I kinda needed it to be though. It leads into the next chapter and is crucial to the next chapter. Hence why I'm updating with two chapters. XD R&R my friends.

"Kagome, you know I trust you. I trust you so much its insanity. But… this thing that's bugging me, I cannot tell you, for fear you'll reject me. I know you'll say that I'm in need of a good talk... but not right now, my sweet. Please?" I pleaded, praying with my eyes.

She looked down, her eyes sad. It took a lot of will to not cave and tell her, but I did it. She sighed, and looked back at me.

"Alright, Sango... if that's what you want." She stepped forward and hugged me close. I held her tight, quickly inhaling the amazing scent that was so distinctly her. When she pulled away, I wanted to hang on, but my common sense made me let go.

"It is, Kags. I'm sorry but… I can't tell anyone right now. I love you, though. You know that, right?" I murmured and looked away.

"Sure, sang. I know. "She murmured softly, with such a sad look on her face I almost cracked.

But I couldn't crack. I could never crack. I could never let her see my weakness, that SHE was my weakness. Realizations

This is a long chapter, but it ends with a cliff-hanger. R&R my friends.

"Sango! How are you, beautiful maid-. "Started a perverted Miroku, but, me being in the pissy mood I was in, I cut in.

"Save it Miroku, I'm really pissed so just fuck off for now, please." Oh damn I was snappy. I think everybody noticed, because everyone - except Kagome – backed very, very far away from me. Thank god. As pacifistic as I am, I did NOT want to deal with anyone's bullshit. I sat down at the table and started picking at my cuticles, then I shoved my ramen away.

Then I looked through the corner of my eye and got even pissier.

Kagome was flirting with that goddamn hanyou again. Making herself look. Extremely. Fucking. Available.

Have I mentioned I really hate that damned hanyou?

Coughing loudly, I directed my attention at Shippo.

"So Ship, how are you?" Ha. My plan worked. Kagome wandered over and sat down beside me.

"I'm great, Sango-chan!" he exclaimed, hopping into Kagome's lap and dancing eagerly .

"There is a new fighting move that Inu-chan promised to teach me and –"

"Uh, Excuse me kid. I only said that to get you off my back…." He trailed off, then, with a flick of his wrist, dismissed the pup.

"Sit!" exclaimed Kagome, and Inuyasha slammed to the ground.

"Gome, what the fuck was that for?" Inuyasha grumbled as he picked himself up off the ground. Kagome leaned over and slapped him. I grinned quite happily, amused.

"That, you selfish bastard, was for getting Shippo's hope up!" she exclaimed and began to stalk away. I watched her go, amused by her. Damn she has a sexy ass.

"Sango I gotta bone I wanna pick with you." Inuyasha murmured out of the blue. I looked over at the damn hanyou, and smirked.

"Yes, Inu-Chan? What would you like to discuss with me?" I inquired politely, being the polite and mannered woman I was raised to be, wondering where the mutt was going with this.

"S'about Kagome," he started, and I looked over at him sharply.

"What about her?" I asked tersely, and folded my hands in my lap so he wouldn't see me playing with my cuticles.

"I know how you feel about her. I can smell the reek of love pouring off of you whenever you look at her." He started. Surprised, I inquired what he was talking about.

"You can't lie to a demon, Sango. You're madly in love with her. Every time you deny it I can smell that you're lying, and honestly it's a fuckin' putrid smell."

"Alright, so? What if I am? It isn't like I can do anything about it. She isn't interested." I retorted, and looked angrily at the dog-demon.

"How do you know, wench? Have you ever tried anything with her? Have you considered that the way she so repulsively throws herself at me is just because she doesn't want to face rejection from you?" he snapped, and I stared at him. What the hell was this demon trying to say?

"She loves you, Sango."

Confliction

Again, this one is rather short, but it ties into the next chapter. You will see what I mean after I update next time.

"What?" I ask incredulously. "She… she what?"

"Are you stupid?" Inuyasha smirked. "Kagome. Loves. You." He exaggerated.

"What… but Kagome doesn't…" I started, stumbling on my words. When I looked behind me at her, Kagome was staring at the mutt and I. when she noticed me looking at her she looked away, a slight blush tainting those perfect cheeks. I looked back at Inuyasha and scowled. If this bastard was pulling my chain I would kill him.

"Then why does she flirt so much with you?" I shot at him.

He glared at me and sneered.

"She flirts with me because she's trying to deny her feelings for you." He snipped, and I looked at him quite forcefully. "It's really annoying, coz I know her heart ain't open to me. It's open to you." He growled, and stalked away, cursing at Shippo as he went.

Wow. What the hell. Was the world coming to an end? Was I dying? I was so confused. Alright. Being the calm, sensible, retard that I am, I decided to think things through.

"I'm going to the hot tub room." I called out. I was hoping Kagome would not come, but, at the same time, I wanted her to. Oh, conflicting emotions are a bitch.

And of course, when Kagome began to trail me, I partially died inside, and partially jumped for joy.

Fuck my emotions.

Fuck them all to hell.
