Chapter 11: Now that's saying something

Last time: After much thinking from Inuyasha who was battling with himself whether he wanted to see Sesshomaru, childhood home or not. They were going to go. This was about Kagome after all. Much to Sango's dismay they headed west.

Lady Nefertiti: enjoy reading everyone!

-Inu-tachi-(With Sango following the guys towards the west)

'Who made Inuyasha the boss of the group?!' Sango thought inwardly. No she wasn't angry or anything but…She didn't want Inuyasha to see Kagome! Once, maybe for once, Kagome could possibly be healed, not physically, but mentally and Sango hoped Kagome's heart could be too…..and from the most unlikely person, Sesshomaru. Sango gritted her teeth as she fisted her hand, a whisk of a tear on her cheek. Damn but why did life have to be so unfortunate to Kagome? Who only helped others?! Damn but it was because of Kagome she had first met Miroku!

No right! Inuyasha had no right to order poor Kagome around who only sought the best for people and it was her that always saw the best in people! It was Kagome who first saw the GOOD in Sesshomaru or maybe it was his looks that caught Kagome's attention first?….hmm one would never tell…..

Of course an idiot could see that Kagome at least cared about him in some way after all she had offered him his arm back.

'Kagome how come you don't have someone to believe in?' Sango thought sadly and shook her head.

-Inuyasha-

He watched Sango as she was pondering something looking totally upset. Of course it was in his hanyou nature to not know affection or when to comfort so no surprises there. She was up to something that he knew. Women were always up to something…..

-Miroku-

'The past is never pretty and things are going to get uglier from now on,' He thought being his wise monk self…. And yet still had time to watch Sango's derriere…some things just would not change. Sango was in deep thought when Miroku grabbed her around the waist and pulled her towards him. Sango still oblivious until she felt someone's solid chest against her back. 'Eeep!' she thought and turned to face none other than Miroku…. "Houshi-sama!? What?!" she stuttered, flaming red never being held at such close contact with a male, a man she loved in fact before.

"Sango? What are you thinking about dearest?" he said calmly, his voice void of all Hentai things….odd but yes.

"I…I was just…." Sango stuttered. 'Hit him with that boomerang for touching you!' her conscious said. But Sango wasn't listening. How did she miss the fact that Miroku was so hot up close? She'd been traveling with him for years….yup she was blind, she was too infatuated with her 'demons' than to stare at Miroku dead in the eyes and jump him somewhere in a nearby bush….."I was just…." She tried to continue swallowing.

"You were just about to run into that tree dearest." He said pointing at the tree right in front of her line of vision.

"Oh, well I…." she said. He held his hand out to her and sighing she took it, rubbing the other behind her head in embarrassment.

(A/N: What ya'll thought I was going to say Miroku's bottom?!) (wiggles eyebrows and giggles amusingly)

Of course his Sango was preoccupied in her thoughts about Kagome; after all, they were closer than sisters. Even he was a little shaken up and why not? It was him that had seen and heard Kagome falling apart right in front of him.

She had fallen to her knees in sorrow something she'd never done before….

Had sobbed to anyone or anything around who cared to hear her dying inside….

Acquired hands caked with blood by punching the ground with her fists….

Miroku stared up at the sky and said, "Ah Kagome-sama I know that I for one will never know what true sorrow is….the raw and upset emotions you show can even move the coldest being….." Alas his moment was ruined when…..

"Oi! You two lovebirds! Stop holding each other like that! We gotta ask Sesshomaru if he's got Kagome, otherwise we go on searching for her…." And he went on but Sango's thought's were interrupted when she thought….

'He's actually being caring!' Sango inwardly screamed happily.

"But of course we all know that the shards are more important….Kikyo can see them too…so we got two Miko's, one spare." Inuyasha finished.

'Scratch that….' Sango thought glaring at him. He destroyed her happy moment! How dare he!

Sango didn't think it was worth knocking Inuyasha to the ground with her boomerang because it'd just waste time and Inuyasha wasn't worth the trouble. "How dare you say that I'm not worth it!" he exclaimed angrily. Sango's eyebrow twitched. Miroku looked amused. Did Sango dare elaborate on this?

"HALT! Who goes there?!" a demon suddenly asked in a rough voice. All three heads whipped around to see a demon on the borders of the west. Well what the Inu-tachi didn't expect were guards positioned all around the western lands, Sesshomaru sure was on top of things wasn't he?

Inuyasha pulled his sword out and faced the guard who just raised an eyebrow. "Inuyasha-sama…." He said. He didn't know Inuyasha very well but he knew one thing: That his lord didn't like his brother and that meant that he didn't like him either.

(A/N: kinda brainwashed aren't they?)

"Forgive my friend's harsh behavior, he's not used to being around so many people, tends to get over-excited and isn't house-broken…." Sango whispered to the demon. Miroku tried very hard to stop his laughter, turning purple as his robes were. Well at least it was a good idea that Inuyasha was too preoccupied watching other demons come nearer the group. "I'm here to see my sister, my very best friend Kagome. I heard that she was staying with your lord at the present time." Sango said very respectfully.

"Oh Sesshomaru-sama's mate Kagome-sama?" he asked Sango politely.

"WHAAATTT DID YOU SAY!!!????" Inuyasha roared out loud as everyone else covered their ears and drowning out Sango's inner laughter.

Lady Nefertiti: "Ha-ha! Leave it to Inuyasha to create a good show…."

Inuyasha: (growls) "Did you just call me a show-dog Lady Nefertiti!!!?????"

Sesshomaru: "Someone please put him out of his misery….."

Inuyasha: "I'm not miserable…..just mad…. what are you talking about fluffy?"

Sesshomaru: "What did you just call me half-breed?!"

Lady Nefertiti: "Did you have all your shots Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha: "What does being vaccinated have to do with this?"

Sesshomaru: "Wow to know such a big word…this Sesshomaru is impressed."

'……….'
