SXK Chapter 10.
Sango stared into Kagome's sleepy eyes, and watched them slowly go from sleepiness, to more alert, to extremely guilty. She knew that she was in InuYasha's arms, she just hoped that Sango didn't know that she was enjoying it. She removed InuYasha's arm from around her waist, and sat up, looking at Sango. She sighed, and motioned for Sango to follow her. Sango got up, and they went to the stairs, retreating to Kagome's room for privacy.
Once there, Kagome folded her arms across her chest.
"Where were you last night?" She asked.
Sango glared. "Not sleeping with InuYasha, if that's what your thinking." She said, avoiding the question.
Kagome took the attack, knowing what Sango didn't.
"I called your house like I said I would." She said. "Several times, actually."
Sango felt the guilt creeping up inside her.
"Yeah, well, I was out, thinking things over." She replied dully.
"So you had to 'think things over', while I desperately called your house until 1:30 in the morning?" She asked.
Sango opened her mouth to reply, but Kagome cut her off.
"And then you accuse me of sleeping with InuYasha?" She asked. "I actually wasn't, but I'll explain that in a second." She said. "I'm starting to think that maybe I should have slept with him, he seems to be a hell of a lot more of a friend than you were last night." She said. Sango said nothing, knowing full well that it was true.
"I called him up at like 1:30 after I was almost in tears because you weren't answering your phone." She said. "I woke him up, but even after what happened, he still got out of bed and came to help me look for you. We were outside 'til four in the goddamn morning, searching for your sorry ass." She said. "Then he was kind enough to hold me until I fell asleep crying over you, even though he is going to get in so much fucking trouble when he gets home, and then you decided to drop by, and accuse me of sleeping with him?" She asked.
Sango once again was silent, knowing that she still had one more thing to say.
"Get your Goddamn facts straight Sango, I've been more respectful toward you in this whole damn relationship than you have to me." She said. "And your the one who supposedly wanted this for so long, and this is how I get treated?" She asked. "This is disgusting."
Sango finally looked up into her angry friends eyes, and Kagome hesitated, calming down slightly, unnerved by the look of sorrow and regret in Sango's eyes.
"Where were you last night?" Kagome asked softly, sitting down on the bed beside Sango.
Sango shook her head and said nothing.
"Eh?" Kagome asked, poking Sango's shoulder.
Sango once again shook her head, and closed her eyes, feeling tears slipping out no matter how hard she tried to control them. Kagome noticed right away, and put her arms around Sango's shoulders, pulling her into a hug. She immediately regretted saying the hurtful things she had said, and now Sango was in tears over it.
"I'm sorry Sango." She said softly.
Sango shook her head, and turned sideways, hugging Kagome tight.
"No, I'm sorry." She whispered. Kagome rubbed her back, and then asked why.
Sango hugged her tighter, and realized that she might lose Kagome with what she was about to tell her.
"Well, the reason that I didn't answer my phone was..."
Kagome rubbed her back, and whispered for her to continue.
"It was 'cause I wasn't home." She said. "I went to a bar because my friends all said that getting drunk helped you forget what had happened before, and I really wanted to forget what had happened, but when I got drunk, I got picked up by some chick called Ayame, and then we slept together, and then when I woke up I realized that I sort of enjoyed it, and then I came to your house to apologize, and sort of misread what I saw, and wasn't thinking." She said.
Kagome was silent.
Sango continued to hug her, and noticed that Kagome had stopped rubbing her back. In fact, her whole body was tensed up.
"You got drunk and slept with some chick, huh?" She asked, her voice portraying no emotion.
Sango nodded, and hated herself for it.
"I'm so sorry Kagome." She said. "If I was in my right mind, there was no way I would have done that." She whispered.
"I see." She continued in that flat monotonous voice. It was starting to worry Sango.
There was silence after that, Sango didn't know what to say, and Kagome couldn't believe what she had heard.
Sango felt Kagome not responding to either her words, or her hug, and finally pulled away, saving herself from being hurt because Kagome would inevitably stop also.
"I'm really sorry Kagome, I regret everything I've done." She said.
"I wanted you for so long, and just when I get you, InuYasha has to come along and ruin everything, and last night when you told me that you wanted to be alone, I thought I lost you forever." She said.
"So you went out and partied, got drunk and got laid?" Kagome asked in that same emotionally unattached, uncaring voice.
Sango shook her head, once again about to start crying.
"NO!" She said. "That wasn't it. I thought I had lost you, and that hurt worse than a family member dying, and trust me, I know what that's like." She said. "Don't tell me you wouldn't have done the same thing, go get drunk and try to forget all your problems for one night."
Kagome was silent for a minute, then spoke up. "No, I wouldn't have." She said. "Because I'm smart enough to know that your porblems won't go away by drinking, and you will still have to deal with them the next morning, and I'd rather deal with them by myself the next morning, than deal with them with a hangover and a strange person in my bed." She said.
Sango sighed tiredly. "Then I guess your just a better person than I am, Kagome." She said. "I'm sorry, I'll just leave now."
She got up, and walked toward the door. Just as she reached for the door handle, she felt arms slipping around her waist, hugging her and stopping her from leaving.
"Don't go." She said. Sango was surprised at the emotion in her voice, especially with just speaking two words. Sango hesitated, and Kagome took that opportunity to move around to stand in front of Sango. She stared up at Sango with a pleading look, and Sango was confused.
"What do you want from me?" She asked her softly.
Kagome hugged Sango tightly. "I want you to stay." She said. She pushed Sango gently back toward the bed, and they both sat down on it. They were both silent for a minute, before Kagome turned to her, and put her arms around Sango's neck, pulling her down. Kagome laid down and pulled Sango close.
"I want this to work." She said. "I really do."
Sango hugged her, pulling Kagome's hips against hers.
"It will work if you want it to." She said, trying to control herself. Kagome's light breath on her neck was slowly but surely turning her on.
Kagome nuzzled Sango's neck reassuringly.
"I want it to work, I know I do." She said. "I felt so bad for saying all those things, and when you said you'd just leave, I got so scared." She said. "Please forgive me for saying all those things."
Sango smiled. "I already did." She said. "Besides, they were all true."
Kagome shook her head. "No they weren't." She said. "I know that you've respected me just as much as I have respected you."
Sango sighed. "I'm sorry for getting drunk and sleeping with Ayame." She said.
Kagome shook her head. "Don't worry, it's okay." She said. "I forgive you."
Sango sighed. "How can you?" She asked. Kagome smiled, and kissed Sango's neck.
"I'll have to tell you later." She said teasingly.
Sango was content with that.
"Okay." She said simply, just glad that everything was okay with her and Kagome again.
A minute passed in silence, before Kagome spoke up.
"Oh, and by the way, I know your turned on, and have been for the last few mintues." She said.
Sango blushed. "W-what?" She asked. "How'd you know?"
Kagome smiled and kissed her neck again, before pulling away and kissing Sango on the lips.
"Because your breathing changes when you get slightly turned on, and then your voice changes when you get really turned on." She said.
Sango said nothing, and just processed the information.
"So," Kagome said. "What do you want to do about it, now that I know?"
Sango grinned, and kissed Kagome, sliding her hand down Kagome's back as she did so.
"I've got a few ideas..."
