A/N: I would like to say before you read that I am a Christian.

Chapter Nine. Love

Hold me close, and I'll kiss you,

Hold me tight, and I'll do more,

But leave me and I wil miss you,

And you will leave my heart sore.

Sango and Inuyasha walked down an old dusty path. It led to the camp where Inuyasha had come to find Sango, and where he had rescued her from the Void. Midorku and Kikyou walked ahead of them, and Kirara flew in the air above them. Sango took Inuyasha's hand.

"Inuyasha," she said, her voice trailing off. He looked at her caringly. His golden eyes shimmered in the daytime sun that shone down upon them.

"Yeah," he said. He looked at her patiently . She smiled at him and said nothing. He looked at her, half-confused, and half-patient. "What did you want to say?"

"I didn't want to say anything. But..." her voice trailed off. She took Inuyasha's other hand, grounding the two to a halt. "I will do this." She leaned forward and enveloped Inuyasha in a kiss. Inuyasha was startled but he soon joined his mate. Sango pulled apart. She smiled.

"That was a lot better than words," Inuyasha said, holding Sango close. Sango looked up into his eyes.

"I can't argue with you there. Ha! Look! That bird crashed into a tree," Sango said, pointing at a clumsy looking bird. She and Inuyasha both giggled. They watched as the bird flew off.

"I'm really glad I got you back Sango. My life would be nothing without you." Sango chuckled.

"I know, aren't I just perfect?" she made a little stance. "Just kidding," she giggled when she seen Inuyasha's face. "I'm not really that self-centred." This time she was surprised when he kissed her.

Sango looked up from their kiss. Water splashed down on her head.

"Inuyasha, it's raining." He looked up to see a water droplet falling from high in the sky.

"I like rain," he said, continuing the kiss. Sango kissed back, feeling her hair being pressed against her face and head as the rain pounded against it. She found her hands straying farther down than usual, near Inuyasha's backside...

BAM! Thunder exploded in the sky, startling the couple. The rain had begun to get so hard that they could barely see what was in front of them.

"C'mon, Sango! We've got to get to camp." He took her hand and ran ahead of her, pulling her along at a quick speed. Water clogged up their mouths when they tried to speak with each other. "WHOAA!" Inuyasha cried, landing face-first in the dirt. He had tripped over a rock. Sango skidded to a halt when she felt his body.

"Inuyasha," she said, her voice containing laughter and worry, "Are you okay?" She watched in relief as he got up, once again taking her by the hand.

"Sango, I can't even see the path anymore! And this rain is getting in the way of my smell! Where's camp?" She looked to where he was silhouetted in front of her.

"I don't know. Kirara!" Sango called, looking up at the dark figure in the dark sky. She saw the cat demon fly downwards, not stopping until she reached their level. "Kirara? Can you smell the way back to camp?" She was disappointed when the demon shook her head.

"We'll just have to keep running then!" Inuyasha called back to her. "I don't see any caves around." Sango looked ahead at him.

"I don't see anything. Everything is so dark with this rain! Ohhh!" And just like Inuyasha, she tripped, but she never hit the ground. Two hands caught her in an embrace. Sango looked into the person's face.

"Miroku! It's you! Inuyasha, over here!" She listened as Inuyasha went in the sound of her voice.

"C'mon, you two, it's time for us to go inside." Miroku lead them into the camp that they knew so well.


Once they were inside the shelter of the hut, Kagome gave them towels to dry off. She smiled at them before walking off to join Kaede in another part of the room, where the old miko was cooking a pot of stew.

"What kept you two so long?" But without waiting for an answer she walked off.

Inuyasha couldn't help but look at Sango's breasts. Her clothes were wet and judging by the temperature of the room they were pretty prominent. He tried to avoid his gaze so no one would look, but they were so gorgeous. Sango caught him looking at her, a wide smile crossing her face.

"You naughty boy, you," she whispered, catching Inuyasha off guard. He blushed slightly and turned his head. Sango put her hands on his face and turned it back. "I didn't say there was anything wrong with being naughty..." she said, her voice trailing off. But then a voice rang out.

"Dinner is ready!" Kaede called out, watching as Kikyou, Midoroku, (who were allowed to stay) Sango, Kagome, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Shippou all came towards her. She ladled out a steaming portion of stew to them each. Inuyasha excepted his and sat down in a far corner. Sango came and joined him.

"Inuyasha? What happened to your face?" she asked, examining a cut on the side of it. She took a bite of stew. But before Inuyasha could answer she burst out laughing, spraying the stew on the floor. Inuyasha looked at the laughing girl cautiously.

"You okay, Sango?" he asked. Sango raised up, laughing. She nodded her head.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just remembering." By now the whole room was watching them.

"Remembering what?" he asked curiously.

"I was remembering when you tripped and fell, that's how you got the cut on your face!" Sango burst out laughing again, the whole room joining in. Inuyasha turned his head around, embarrassed.

"Feh. I wasn't the only one." But his words were lost on the laughing crowd. But suddenly Sango started laughing. It was as if she had been struck by lightning. Inuyasha looked at her worriedly. "What is it Sango? Are you okay?"

"No," she rasped. "My hand. It hurts." Then Inuyasha remembered. Sango had a wind tunnel. He had forgotten to tell anyone.

"Miroku," he said, ushering the monk over. "You'll know what to do." Miroku got up, clearly puzzled, but caring was on his face. He sat beside Inuyasha and Sango.

"Miroku," Inuyasha began. "Sango was knocked into a Void, one of Naraku's traps, and, um, it gave her a, it gave her a wind tunnel." He said, as if not believing it himself. He didn't want to think about it. Unless he killed Naraku Sango would have a shortened life.

Miroku's face was suddenly etched with concern. He looked gravely at Inuyasha.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? Which hand is it?" he asked. Inuyasha pointed to the wrapped-up hand. Miroku quickly examined the unwrapped form. He looked up at Inuyasha. "Come with me," he said, barely in a whisper.

Inuyasha followed Miroku out of the hut and into the night. The rain had stopped and a bright moon shone down. Miroku looked at Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha. I don't know how to tell you this. But..."

"But what? Don't tell me Sango is going to die?" Inuyasha said, very tense and on the verge of tears.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha. But by the looks of it, it is growing rapidly. It is already bigger than mine. Sango doesn't have much time left." He watched as Inuyasha stood flabber-ghasted.

"H-How long would you say she has left?" He asked. He had gone very pale, his skin looked lighter than his hair.

"A- a day, at the most." Inuyasha took a step back.

"No. Miroku. NO! Tell me you're lying! Tell me!" But Miroku just stood silent. "No! Not Sango!" Tears streaked down his face. He ran back into the hut, straying away from all of the other people. He hoped they didn't see him crying.

Sango crawled over to him, trying to push his hand away from his face. He shoved his hand back down. He couldn't let her see him like this. She heard his sniffs.

"Inuyasha, what is wrong? Are you okay?" Inuyasha removed his hands from his face.

"I love you, Sango." And with that he plunged into a deep kiss.


That same night Inuyasha was beside Sango, in the same glade that they had walked in before. They lay on the ground, looking up at the dazzling stars. Sango had her head on his chest. Inuyasha looked down at her head, running his long nails through her raven hair. She didn't know. She didn't know how much time she had left.

"Inuyasha. I really love you." Sango said looking up at him. He looked down at her with his caring golden eyes. He stopped his stroking long enough to talk to her.

"I love you, too. Sango..." he said, making her look up at him.

"What is it, Inuyasha?"

"I think it is time." Sango needed no explanation. She sat up, as did Inuyasha. She looked at him uncertainly. She seen the certainty in his eyes, though, and she brightened up.

"But I never got the help, how will we do it?" He smiled.

"Do you trust me?"

"Well, yes, of course I trust you."

"Good, then do as I do and say." And with that he put his hands on the top of Sango's shirt. He moved them up, taking the shirt off of her body. He looked at her exposed top. He liked it a lot. His breathing became raspy. "Now, take off my shirt." Sango did as she was told.

Soon she was looking at Inuyasha's naked chest, and the abs that lay beneath. How she longed to have them. She was glad she was finally here doing this with him.

Inuyasha then put his hands on her skirt, pushing it down to reveal the nakedness beneath. His breathing became even more raspy and his eyes hunger-filled. "All right, you know what to do." Sango took off his pants. She seen his growing member, her eyes longing to have it.

Now the two were both completely naked. The gawked at eachother in wonder. Inuyasha stuck out his hand to touch Sango's ample breast, feeling the smoothness of them on contact. He loved it. It felt soft and squishy. He rubbed his hand down them, finally resulting in a squeeze. Sango moaned as he puffed them together, feeling the ectasy of what he was doing.

Soon more than Inuyasha's hands wanted to explore her breasts. He moved his tongue down to them, licking her nipples. Sango moaned aloud. Soon he put his mouth on them, drawing them in and out. His tongue swirled around them, feeling the soft cushion that surrounded them. He did this until they were swollen and red, and until he felt the need to go lower.

Kisses soon rained down upon Sango's belly, and he traced the line of her perfect abs with his tongue. Sango was enjoying it all. She hadn't known that if felt this good.

He ran two ringers down the top of her vagina, feeling the softness of her womanhood. Sango continued to moan. Soon Inuyasha reached the hole.

"So this is what it is." He stuck two fingers in there, experimenting. He felt around. It felt so warm in there. Sango's moans only drove him on farther. Extracting his two fingers he put his tongue in their place. He moved it around, and shook his head in swivels to hear her groan aloud. Soon he was feeling hot liquid on his tongue as he drove Sango into a full-blown orgasm. He moved his tongue out.

"You taste good," he told the panting Sango. "Are you ready for it?" He seen Sango's nod and beckoned her to crouch like a dog. Sango did as she was told. Her butt was in the air. Inuyasha stood up, getting behind her. Placing his hands on either cheek her slowly moved his glistening erection into her wet hole. Sango moaned aloud.

"Inuyasha! That hurts!" she cried aloud, as the tip of his swollen member violated her privacy. He pushed it in a little deeper, trying to be gentle.

"I'm sorry Sango. I'll go easy. But get ready." He pushed the rest of his member in there, hearing Sango's moans of pain. "I'm really trying to go easy." He began to extract his erection. Damn, she's so tight, he thought too himself. He pushed himself into her again this time, being as gentle as possible. But Sango put that to a stop. He was starting to make her feel really good.

"Inuyasha. You're beginning to make me feel good. Go faster!" Inuyasha needed no second bidding. He shoved into her faster, and as she yelled out harder, he also did it. Soon he was pounding into her, feeling as she moaned.

Sango moaned really loud. "Inuyasha!" she wailed, "I'm about to cum! OHHH!" Suddenly a jet of white squirted on Inuyasha. Inuyasha too released inside of her. Then both extracted and lay panting. Inuyasha looked over at Sango.

"That was perfect." She smiled at him.

"Almost. But..."

"But what?"

"It's my turn." She crawled over to Inuyasha. She leaned over him, licking his chest and caressing him. She loved how manly he was. She moved her hands across his chest, and down his tummy. He was warm. She moved her tongue down to his throbbing member. Placing her mouth on it, she moved in and out. Her tongue danced around the head, causing Inuyasha to groan. She continued to do it, getting faster and faster. She grabbed at his butt, completely enveloped in the moment.

Taking her mouth off, she placed her hand there. She felt the wetness of it, savouring it. It was thick and very hard, and the pre-cum that was on it ony made her hands go up it faster. She pumped it up and down, watching Inuyasha's face turn red. "Sango! I can't take anymore of it! It's about to come out!" Soon Inuyasha reeled his head back, screaming aloud into the night. Sango's face was covered with his hot liquid.

She lied down beside him. A smile was on her face.

"Okay. We're done now I love you." Inuyasha smiled back at her. He told her he loved her. Snuggling against her, he fell asleep. Sango fell asleep alongside him.

Inuyasha woke up to the pale rays of dawn. He looked at Sango. Sango. His lover. They were still naked. Suddenly he jumped up. Sango was cold. She was clammy. He put his hand under her nose. She was still breathing. Good.

He dressed them both. He hurried back to the hut, seeing the others outside. They jumped up when they seen Sango limp in his arms.

"Sango!" Kagome cried. She jumped forward. Miroku held her back with his hand.

"No, Kagome. Stand back." Inuyasha stepped into the crowd, dazed.

"Sh-she's still b-breathing," he said. Kaede instantly took command.

"Inuyasha! Bring her into the hut. Lay her on the bed!" Inuyasha opened the curtain-door into the hut, placing Sango on the bed. He looked down at her pale features. He remembered the night before.

"Do you trust me?"

"Well, yes, of course I trust you."

But now she was going. She was fading away. Inuyasha felt his head swim. He put his hand to his head, feeling the beads of perspiration. He swooned and then fell over, unconscious.


Miroku placed Inuyasha on a mat in the floor.

"He's sick, Lady Kaede," the monk said. He then went over to see Sango. She was sweating badly, and her breathing was so faint that you could barely see her moving.

"She'll be gone in the next hour," he stated flatly to Kaede. Kaede walked over there to them. She looked at Sango, tears in her aged eyes.

"What a sad end to one so good." She took her hand and wiped some sweat from her brow. Suddenly Sango stirred a little.

"I-Inuyasha?" she said weakly. Kaede's tears splashed on the wooden floor as she answered.

"This is Kaede," she said. She removed her hand from Sango's head.

"Where is Inuyasha?" Sango asked, mustering up her breath. Her eyes opened and they looked coated. The light from the windows made them shine with a glossy light.

"He's fainted, little one," Kaede, said, letting her tears roll down her face. They formed a puddle on the floor.

"Tell- tell him that I love him." And with that she fell silent. But she was not yet dead.


Inuyasha awoke to the feel of water. Kaede had placed a wet rag on his brow. He sat up instantly. Kagome's hands pushed him back down though.

"Don't you dare get up, Mr. You're sick." But Inuyasha tried again.

"I've got to see Sango!" he replied. "I've got to see my Sango, NOW!" He pushed Kagome backwards, knocking her down on the floor. He rushed over to where Sango lay on the bed. Most of her was covered in a black hazy mist. What was this? Was the wind tunnel beginning to devour her?

"She will be gone soon," Miroku said from behind him. Inuyasha twirled around. He looked into Miroku's eyes.

"Why?" he cried. "Why Sango? She was too good for this." Miroku nodded.

"Yes. No one deserves this fate Inuyasha."

"D-did she ever wake up?" Miroku looked at him gravely. He couldn't tell Inuyasha. He couldn't tell him that Sango woke up and he wasn't there.

"No," he lied. "She never woke up. She has remained like she has now." Inuyasha blew out a sigh of relief. That was a comforting thought. Atleast he seen her the last time she was awake. "But I know she loved you. And somehow I feel that she wanted me to tell you that." Inuyasha knelt by the bed.

"I love you, too, Sango," he said, kissing her brow. He felt the cold sweat upon his lips. It wasn't supposed to end this way. He turned around as someone else entered the room. It was Kirara.

Kirara walked slowly over to Sango's bed. She looked at her master sympathetically. Tears wobbled in her red cat eyes. She meowed softly. Inuyasha watched as she jumped up and lay down beside Sango, snuggling into the folds of the blanket. Kirara was true to Sango to the end, which wouldn't be that long away.

Inuyasha stuck his hand out to stroke her pale face, but he instantly stopped. He did not feel her breathing. He checked her heart-beat. It wasn't beating! Inuyasha frantically called for help.

"MIROKU! KAEDE! KAGOME! Someone help! Sango's dead! She's dead!" Inuyasha turned away from his mate. He looked towards the door where the others had come in. They had wanted to let Inuyasha have a moment alone with her before she passed. But before anyone could do anything her body became a haze of black mist and popped away.

Inuyasha seen that and he ran out of the door, crying. He didn't stop running until he made it to the glade where they had finally had sex. He collapsed to the ground, tears pouring from his eyes.

He pounded the ground with his fist. He was supposed to have protected her! He was supposed to have been there from saving her from Void! He pounded the ground hard, his sobs echoing throughout the forest.

"NO!" he screamed. "SANGO! COME BACK! COME BACK!" He pounded the ground one last time, before falling on his back in a mass of sobs. Then his anger turned to another point.

"WHAT KIND OF GOD WOULD DO THIS? WHO COULD TAKE MY SANGO AWAY FROM ME? GIVE HER BACK! YOU-YOU-" But he never finished his statement. Kagome had come as soon as she could to find Inuyasha.

She put a comforting arm around him. "Don't take this out on Him, Inuyasha. That's not the right thing to do." He pushed her arm off.

"Nothings right anymore," he said, standing up and turning away. "I'll take it out on whoever I wish." Kagome looked at him sternly.

"That's not the right thing to do," she repeated. "Do not blame God for your earthly troubles." Inuyasha turned around.

"What God? If there were a God He would have protected my Sango. He would have kept her here with me. There is no God." Kagome looked at him, completely taken aback.

"But Inuyasha! This is unlike you. You believe. You know you do." He scowled at her.

"Then where was He? Where was He when Sango needed Him? He's not there, Kagome! It's all lies!" Inuyasha crashed to the ground at the sound of Kagome's sit.

"Listen here, Inuyasha. I know how hard this is for you. And I understand that you are mad. But please, try to think of all of the good things in life. And then you realise how wrong you are here."


Kagome had walked off. She had left Inuyasha with a lot of thinking to do. He knew deep down that he did believe in God. But he just couldn't understand why He would let Sango go away from him. Sango was the best thing that had ever happened to him. He had needed her and now she was gone. He tried to think of all the good things in life.

One was last night. Last night had been wonderful. And then as more began to unravel in his head, he did realise that Kagome was right. Inuyasha got down on his knees. Hands clasped below his chin he prayed.

"Dear Lord, my Saviour that art in Heaven," he began, "I'm not sure exactly how to pray. So I'll just talk to you as a friend. I'm sorry, God, about what I said. I know You're there. But please, please, give me a sign. Touch me, God. Please." And with hat he ended his prayer.

Inuyasha sat on the grass. A butterfly winged by, landing on his nose. He twitched it and it flew away. Logic told him to think. He had just been touched, by a butterfly though it was, but his prayer had been answered. He would have to tell Kagome that he was sorry, and that he was wrong, and that it was just so hard dealing with the death of Sango.

He missed her so much. He would never kiss her again. He would never touch her again. The thought of it was almost unbearable. Tears constantly ran down his face, that is, until he could cry no more. His eyes were swollen and puffy. They felt very heavy. But he still got up and made his way to camp.


Inuyasha had called Kagome off to the side. Kagome had looked at him scornfully the whole time, no matter how hard he tried to look pleasant.

"Kagome," he said, "I'm sorry about what I said earlier. You were right. I was wrong. I apologise." Kagome nodded. She looked at him sternly.

"Well you should be sorry. What you said was really offencive." And with that she walked off.


Naraku sat on the floor, the fake baboon head hanging off of his head. He gazed out of a window. He seen cold, barron land, stony and destroyed. The sky above it was dark and gloomy, and an air of despair reigned above all else. He smiled. This was exactly what he liked. Destruction. The essence of nothing. He thrived on his exsitence, and his existence alone. He was independent, and growing stronger.

But he was also angry. The Shikon Jewel had been used, he could sense that. He would have to find another way to gain ultimate power. Luckily, he had gotten a new member on his side.

She had not joined willingly, and she had not been sent. She was merely taken from her friends in a black explosion, which they thought meant her death. Little did they know that the hole in her palm was more than a wind tunnel- it was a device that linked her with Naraku. It could suck demons and other things into it, but she would never die from it. For every time she went through her own wind tunnel, she was back with Naraku.

He seen her in front of him now, standing, completely confused. She had no clue where she was at. She was under his control. He had say over what she did now. Of course, she would fight back, but with a crush of his palm she would wither, just like a plant that has stayed in the sun to long. She was his puppet, his slave, and she was Sango.

Thus ends I Think She is the One

A/N: Another pack of lies I have told you all, hee hee. This chapter was no where near the length it should have been. Grrrrrrrrr. I'm sorry if you were expected Inuyasha and Sango to be together before she was abruptly taken again. I thought about making a side story fit in there, but I couldn't think of one while it was pouring down rain.

So her wind tunnel is too things: a transportation device and a wind tunnel. She is now under Naraku's control and that is his secret weapon.

I felt really uncomfortable writing that lemon, it's not exactly my thing. I hate writing lemons, it feels unclean, vulgar, and obscene. So that's why I'm not really good at them.

Yes Inuyasha had religious troubles right after Sango's "death". I only think it's natural that he should have. And I know his prayer was spur of the moment, and it may have sounded a bit awkward. It doesn't sound anything like my prayers.

I'm glad to anyone that stuck all the way through this story. Please no flames because if I were some of you I would be fuming mad. I really appreciate Orangefuu's reviews though, because he/she's the one that I seen reviewing constantly. And I appreciate Blue-eyed Puppy for being the first reviewer. And I thank FinalFlash54 for giving me good reviews. Please wait for the sequel where I promis that there will be way more Sango Inu goodness. I hope that it puts this story to shame!
