Chapter 6

"I'm so happy to see you." I heard Kagome yell.

"Yeah. Me too." He responded. I could feel myself wanting to cry.

"What are you doing here?" she asked. I wanted him to tell her why he really came here, to see me.

"Everyone else is here so why wouldn't I be here." Not the answer I wanted, but I guess it was true.

"Well I'm glad I found you. I mostly came back to see you." How could I think she was my best friend?

"Kagome…" he said into her hair. He was savoring the moment with her. That's it; he made the decision for me. I was going to marry the prince. Slowly I walked back to my hut feeling heart broken. I had started to fall for Inuyasha; it's weird that only now I noticed it. I would end it now before I got even more hurt.

"Sango, what are you doing back so soon?" Shippou asked.

"I…I've really missed you guys and I needed to talk to you."

"About what?" he asked. I walked into the hut and sat down.

"I've been thinking about it and I now know I want to marry Takeda Kuranosuke."

"But Sango…I thought you and Inuyasha…" I cut him off.

"I think the prince will be a nice choice. He's been chasing me for years and I think he deserves a fair chance."

"But what about us?"

"I'll talk to him about it and I'm sure he'll let you guys come with me. I don't want to be away from you guys." Shippou stood up and came to hug me. "I love you Shippou and we won't be parted that easily."

"I love you too Sango." He said. I put him down and he went off to play with Kilala.

Finally I had time to be alone. I didn't really want to be alone but it's all I could do. I sat down and put my head on my knees. I felt bad, why would Inuyasha do that to me. I could feel hot tears run down my face. I shouldn't cry, he was with her first. I was always…second. I would always be second no matter what. Suddenly I couldn't wait for the next day to come. Then I would be out of here, I would be free of this mess.

He didn't come to me the rest of that day. He truly forgot about me. Even though I saw them together I still hoped he would at least come see me, even if he brought her. I fell asleep sad, and happy. Tomorrow I would show Inuyasha I didn't need him. No man could ever hurt me again, I wouldn't let them.

"Sango! Sango!" I heard someone yelling. "Sango!" finally I shot up and came face to face with Shippou. "Good you're up. Come on someone's outside to see you." I looked at him before I got up and put on a fresh set of clothes. I walked out to see these so called 'guests'. Outside stood Kagome, she was awkwardly leaning on the wall of the hut. I couldn't help but smile, she was still my friend. It wasn't her fault Inuyasha still liked her.

"Kagome!" I said grabbing her attention. She looked up at me and smiled.

"Sango, it has been too long." She said hugging me.

"What took you so long to come back?"

"I wanted to finish school before I came back for good."

"So you're staying?" I asked. It wouldn't matter anymore, I was leaving.

"Yeah. I came to see you guys, but Shippou told me some not so good news."

"What did he tell you?"

"Well that you were leaving, and were taking him with you."

"It was his decision to come."

"If I convinced him to stay would that upset you?"

"Umm…I'm not gonna force him to come with me. I'll talk to him later." I said ready to leave. "I have to meet with some people, we'll catch up later." I said annoyed. She smiled and I left. How dare she try and take him away from me too! My blood was boiling, I needed to calm down. I walked to the village gates and saw a group of men walking towards me. I instantly got on guard until he came into view.

"Sango!" he called out. I waited for him to approach me and then he grabbed my hands just as I assumed he would. "I hope you have made a decision." His eyes were sparkling and I couldn't help myself, I fell into his arms. It felt good to be wanted. I was his number one, never was I any man's number one, and it hurt.

"I choose to come back with you, if you would accept me."

"Of course Sango. This is what I have been waiting for. You have made me very happy." I moved back and smiled.

"I have to get my stuff. Would it be ok if Shippou and Kilala came back with us? They wouldn't be too much trouble."

"That's fine." He said laughing. "I'll walk you back to your friends and help you out." I nodded and we walked back in silence. "I'll wait out here." He said as we approached my hut. I nodded and ran it. Everyone was sitting there, even Inuyasha.

"I'm leaving." I said quietly. Nobody said anything. I looked over to Shippou. "It's up to you; you can either come with me or stay here with Kagome and Inuyasha." It hurt to say his name.

"Sango I don't want to hurt your feelings…but-" I cut him off.

"It's fine Shippou. You can visit anytime you want." I said hugging him. I felt like crying I was losing him to her too. "Goodbye Kagome." I said letting Shippou go to go give her a hug.

"Sango promise you'll visit."

"I will." I said truthfully. I let her go and faced Inuyasha. "Goodbye Inuyahsa." I said sticking my hand out for him to shake. He looked and me as if I was crazy.

"Can we talk alone?" he asked. Everyone looked between us and left silently.

"What is it?" I asked getting my stuff together.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Getting my stuff packed."

"No. I mean why are you marrying him? I thought…" he trailed off.

"You thought what?" I waited for the response that never came. "I get it. You still love her. It's fine. I'll get over it."

"You don't understand. I love you Sango. I've been in love with you. Why are you doing this?"

"Because yesterday you forgot about me. She came back and it was as if I didn't exist anymore. You never came to check on me."

"I'm sorry. Now I realize that I really do love you. And that I only want to be with you. Yesterday I got sidetracked and it was unfair of me to ditch you."

"Am I supposed to wait for you whenever you decide to run off with her?"

"I'm not saying that. I'm sorry Sango." It was silent and tense.

"So what do you want me to do now?" I asked annoyed.

"I want you to tell him to go away. I want you to be with me."

"It's too late Inuyasha. I already made a decision. A day ago if you would've asked me my decision it wouldn't have been Takeda Kuranosuke, it would have been you." I could feel a lump forming in my throat. I had to get out of here.

"So what changed?"

"You. You were all about me, true. The second she comes back you ignored me I turned invisible. I won't be in second place Inuyasha. I'm sorry I really did feel something but now I don't." I said ready to leave.

"Fine, go with him. You won't be happy."

"I will because I will be his number one. And you'll be with her. Enjoy your life Inuyasha. I hope we can still be friends." I said holding back tears. He looked at me angry and I could see tears threatening to fall from his eyes. "I'm sorry." I whispered. Before I could leave his arms wrapped around me and he gently pulled me into a hug. I couldn't help myself I really did love him. I wrapped my arms around him and closed my eyes. It felt so right to be in his arms. "I have to go." I whispered. He let me go and placed something in my hand before pushing me out of the hut.

"Ready?" I heard a voice say. I looked in the direction the voice came from. Everything seemed blurry. I was confused. I nodded my head and walked away with my future husband. Kilala was the only one I brought with me. I looked back and realized she was taking the life I wanted. I looked back at Inuyasha's hurt gaze and frowned. It was over, it was really over.

"Lady Sango, why are you so sad?" he asked as we rode away in his carriage.

I sighed. "It's always hard saying goodbye." I said quietly.

"Yes it is. But don't forget, your friends are always welcomed to visit for as long as they want. If it makes you happy, it makes me happy."

"Thank you. I appreciate your generosity." I said humbly. I would try my best to make him happy since he was trying to make me happy.
