Chapter 9
That was the best night of my life. I woke up that morning still in his arms. He was already up looking down at me.
"Morning." He smirked.
"Morning." I said back. I wanted to stay in his arms forever.
"Do you regret it?" He asked holding me tighter.
"I don't. I told you I wouldn't."
"Me neither." He said kissing my forehead. "I don't want to give you to him."
"I don't want to go to him."
"So don't."
"I would feel bad for deceiving him."
"You won't be." He said running his hand up and down my bare back.
"I want to stay with you forever."
"Me too, if I mark you as my mate that can be possible." I looked at him confused. "We would age the same and you would have some of my blood in you just as I would have some of your blood in me."
"That would be..." I couldn't find the word.
"Amazing." He finished. I nodded yes and hugged him tighter.
"I love you so much Inuyasha." I said closing my eyes.
"And I love you, Lady Sango." He said kissing the top of my head.
"Spare me the honor." I said savoring the last of our moment before I had to kick him out.
"Trust me, you deserve all the honor someone can give." I could feel tears swell up in my eyes; he deserved me now more than ever. I closed my eyes and I could feel his body heat leaving. "I can smell the idiot coming, I gotta go." He smiled at me. "Get dressed; I don't want him to see you, like this." He said looking me up and down. "Til tomorrow night my love." He smirked and jumped out of the window. The more time I spent with him, the more sides of him I got to experience making me love him even more.
"Lady Sango." I heard the prince's voice from the other side of the door.
"I'll be out in a few minutes Kuronosuke." I said.
"Ok." I could hear the reluctance in his voice. I felt bad; I had to leave this mansion.
Breakfast was silent. The tension was even worse than the silence.
"I want to have a word with you Lady Sango, meet me in my headquarters once you're finished eating." Then the young prince stood up and left.
"What was that about?" Kagome asked once he was out of sight.
"I'm not sure. I guess I should go find out." I said standing up but before I could get far Inuyasha grabbed my wrist.
"Don't forget about yesterday." He looked in my eyes before letting me go. I smiled at him and continued to walk with in the same direction the prince left. I knocked on the door at the end of the hall gently and waited to be invited in. I entered silently.
"Lady Sango, come in." I walked and sat in the seat he offered. We were facing each other now.
"Why have you requested my presence?" I asked nervously.
"Well I've noticed some inappropriate behavior." Instantly my heart started beating faster.
"Between who?" I asked, deciding to play dumb.
"Lady Sango please do not mistake me for a fool. I can see how close you two are." He stood up, obviously too angry to remain seated. I knew exactly who he was talking about, Inuyasha.
"Kuranosuke-" I began but was cut off.
"I thought we covered this, it's Takeda to you."
"Takeda, Inuyasha and I are friends."
"I understand that but it's inappropriate for the both of you to be alone together. You must be escorted by me if you want to be around him."
"I'm not used to this. I'm sorry if I disrespected you."
"Lady Sango thank you for being so understanding." He smiled at me. I smiled back and got ready to leave. "Wait I wanted to bring something else up." I sat back down. "I wanted to thank you. Now that I will have a wife I can step up and become a King. Because of you my family will be able to continue ruling this land. With our offspring we can prosper." His face lit up as if his dreams were coming true. My heart sank I wanted to end things and now he was damn near praising me. I was a monster.
"I see." I said smiling awkwardly.
"That's all." He said dismissing me.
That night he came to me.
"So what did the prince say?" he asked standing away from me. When I tried to get closer he just backed away. His hands were crossed over his chest and his eyes were shooting daggers at me.
"Are you mad at me?" I asked confused.
"No. I just want answers."
"He just asked me…" I couldn't say it, he would become angrier.
"Asked you what?"
"Well he told me something."
"And what was that?"
"Well he said it was improper for us to be together, alone."
"WHAT?" he screamed.
"Inuyasha please, I knew you would blow this out of proportion."
"You didn't defend me." he accused. I could feel my eyes water up. He was making this harder than it already was.
"I didn't feel I had to." My voice was becoming shaky.
"Don't cry." He said coming closer to me.
"All I want is for everyone to be happy. I don't want to hurt anyone. I wish this never happened. I wish I could take everything back. This is too much for me. I can't handle it anymore."
"I'll make it easier for you. Just forget anything between us happened. I thought you wouldn't regret it but obviously I wrong." Just like that he was gone. I didn't know what to do anymore. My heart belonged to Inuyasha with no doubt on my mind; but I had already given my word to Takeda. But, I was probably overanalyzing things because I was tired.
There was only one more day before I would be a married woman and I still felt conflicted. Inuyasha didn't bother to come see me the following night making me grow angry with him.
After another awkward breakfast I went to the garden to sit down and think. I looked to my right and saw no other than Takeda coming my way.
"Lady Sango If you weren't doing anything then I would like if you spent time with me."
"Sure." I said following behind him. We were getting married tomorrow the least I could do was spend time with him especially now since Inuyasha wanted nothing to do with me. We walked to an empty room and he took a seat in an empty chair. I sat in the seat across from him.
"I want you to tell me about you. I know I admire your courage and fighting skills, but I'm sure there's more to you than that."
"Well what do you want to know exactly?" I asked shifting nervously as he watched me from his seat.
"What happened to your village?"
"It was destroyed."
"If it's not too intrusive to ask; how did that happen?"
"We all went on a mission somewhere and everyone died but me."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be."
"How did you meet your friends?"
"I was tricked into believing Inuyasha was the reason for my village's death. When I found out he wasn't and explained to everyone my troubles they welcomed me into their group."
"That was very nice of them."
"Well they're nice people."
"What happened to the monk you traveled with? I thought you were engaged to him."
"Well I was but he didn't love me, and broke it off."
"I'm sorry to hear." The conversation consisted of him mostly asking me questions about myself. It was actually going good and he was way more interesting than I thought.
"You're not as boring as I thought you were."
"You thought I was boring?' he asked laughing.
"A little, but I was wrong."
"I'm glad I could sway you." It was silent for a little while. "I can see why he loves you." He finished off.
"What? Who? No." I said stuttering out for full sentences.
"Inuyahsa. I can see it in his eyes. He looks as you the same way I do, maybe even with more love. And you look at him in the same loving way. I waited to see if maybe you could look at me like that but you haven't."
"I…I…don't-" I was shocked he was telling me this. I didn't know what to say to him. He was right, even though I was livid with Inuyasha, I still couldn't get him off my mind. I loved him beyond words.
"You don't have to explain I already know. I can tell by the way you two sneak glances at each other. I know you don't want to marry me. I would relieve you of this duty but I really need to become a king. Time is running out. If you stick with me I promise to make you the happiest queen."
"I understand. Thank you for understanding I appreciate it." He smiled at me. "At least we could be friends if we're married."
"True." He responded. I stood up ready to leave. I felt my heart breaking I would have to say goodbye to him. This was it for us. "Lady Sango I have a proposal for you. If you are able to find me a replacement bride then you don't have to marry me."
"What does she have to be like?" I asked with hope in my voice causing him to chuckle.
"Well obviously esthetically pleasing. I won't be able to have another beauty like you but she should be attractive. She should have some form of personality and she should be nice."
"If I find a girl similar to your description you would take her as your wife rather than me?"
"That is correct. I suggest you hurry today's the only day for you to try." I nodded my head and sprinted out of his headquarters. I had to find Inuyasha, I had already forgotten my anger.
"Inuyasha." I called without stopping. "Inuyasha!" I called more desperately. I couldn't find him, where could he be? "Inuyasha!" I called again. I was beginning to think he left for good. Tears built up in my eyes. It wasn't like me to cry but I couldn't help it. "Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" I continued to scream as I ran faster trying to find him.
"Sango!" I heard his voice. I stopped running and looked around frantically. There he was confusion and worry written on his face.
"Inuyasha." I said relieved. I ran to him and hugged him around his waist. "I thought I lost you for good." I whispered into his chest knowing he heard me.
"You couldn't lose me that easy."
"But you didn't come see me."
"I wanted to give you the chance to get your thoughts together."
"Well I have."
"And?"
"And I need to find a wife for Takeda." His face instantly lit up. "He freed me of my duty to marry him, if I am able to find him a wife before tomorrow."
"Who you got in mind?" he asked me.
"A few people. I have to go talk to them. Can you go to the left side of the castle and find two or three girls to see if they'll match with Takeda, make sure they're pretty." He nodded and left. I walked over to the area of the castle I was familiar with. I knocked on a door and waited for it to be opened.
"Sango. What are you doing here?"
"I need a favor from you."
