Swept Away

----

"Inuyasha... What are you doing here?"

Inuyasha smiled at her and slowly walked twords her body and sat down next to her.

"Well, about a week ago... a beautiful woman told me I was dead to her..."

Sango hung her head and continued to listen.

"Shortly after, I seen a man walking around. He asked me where the grave of Surnoda Hirashita. I told him and Kaede told me he was the man who cursed Midoriko... It bugged me for so long...so naturally... I came here to see what happened... and I seen the very same woman that said such harash things to me a week earlier laying here on the ground, trembeling horribly and oviously came here because she was in great pain..."

Sango raised her head to him and gazed at his face. She seen something in his face that she hadn't seen for a long time. She seen the Inuyasha that saved her so many times from her own heartach... not the Inuyasha that killed her brother in front of her very eyes.

"What happened here Sango?" He asked.

Sango sighed.

"Inuyasha... I screwed up..."

Inuyasha stared at her and noticed that she was still as cold as ice. He thought for a moment and finally knew what to do.

He took the robe of the fire rat of his body and layed it gently over her shoulders.

Sango looked at him in confusion.

"Keep it... You need it more than I do..."

Sango smiled and pulled it further over her entire chest.

There was a long akward silence.

"I think I owe you an appology..." Sango finally said.

Inuyasha looked over at her but remained quiet.

"You were right... about Kohaku... keeping him alive would only cause me more and more pain than him finally leaving my life for good... I'm sorry I over-reacted to badly..."

Inuyasha smiled.

"It's fine... I probably would've reacted the same way if it was..."

Inuyasha stopped his sentance and Sango slowly turned her head away from him.

"If it were Kikyou...?" She finished his own sentance for him.

Inuyasha didn't show any reaction.

"It's ok to say her name in front of me Inuyasha... I understand that she was your first love and you can't forget her... no matter how much anybody wants you to..."

Inuyasha slowly smiled away from her relizing it and stared deeply at the ground.

"Why can't Kagome see the things the way you do...?"

Sango shrugged.

"I guess because Kagome's first love was you... and she has never been through the whole situation before..."

Inuyasha nodded.

"I guess so..."

Sango remained quiet and she noticed tears starting to fall from her eyes... for she was thinking about Sesshoumaru when she said that.

"I should've just stayed away from him..."

Inuyasha felt a confused feeling come amoung him and he quickly turned to her. Then she relized what she ment and he slowly turned away.

"So... you did love him..."

Sango shivered up and down her spine and she searched for a explanation.

"I trusted him... I loved him... and he rejected me with every ounce of life he had in that body of his..."

Sango began to cry and Inuyasha didn't react to anything that she was saying.

"He said such hurtful things to me Inuyasha..."

Inuyasha looked over at Sango and seen nothing but tears covered her face.

"But I really have to tell you Inuyasha... he was so kind and considerate to me before... that wasn't him! It wasn't the REAL him!!!"

Inuyasha shut his eyes and soon he felt a body collaspe with his... He then noticed it was Sango.

She was asking him to confort her... And he had no choice. He brought his arms up around her and layed his head gently on hers and stroked her back.

"Sango.. he isn't the kind of guy to let himself get controlled so easily... the Sesshoumaru that said those hateful things to you.. was the REAL Sesshoumaru."

Sango rasied herself away from him and turned away.

"I should've trusted you Inuyasha... I should've stayed away from him... It would've been easier..."

Inuyasha smiled.

"What are you getting at?"

Sango finally stopped crying and knew exacly what to say.

"I think I'm just going to give up on love.. it's nothing but an emotion made from the fires of hell"

Inuyasha chuckled and grasped her shoulder.

"Don't say that Sango... we were all put on this Earth to be with somebody... maybe you just haven't found him yet..."

Sango looked into his eyes and smiled.

"Inuyasha... I don't think I will ever have the chance to."

Inuyasha's eyes widened and he stared at her.

"And I just have problems seeing what's right in front of me..."

Inuyasha smiled and Sango's, for one, did not fade away.

But Inuyasha's did... and Sango knew why.

"I said and done such horrible things to you... and I don't think my body is strong enough to continue hating you... To be honest... When I woke up and seen you sitting there... it was the happiest feeling I had felt in the past year... Inuyasha... I---"

Inuyasha had silenced her words away... with a smile.

"Don't talk of lies Sango..." He said.

Sango was confused.

"Your heart is still grasped on him... You're only telling me this because you hate him and you want so badly to move on... yet you still love him as much as you possibly could and no matter how badly I want that feeling to disapear... it's not going to so quickly..."

Sango hung her head and knew that denieing the truth would not help the situation in anyway.

"Even though your heart belongs to somebody else... You still contain mine..."

Sango looked up at him and shook her head.

"Don't..."

Inuyasha put his finger under her chin and brought her face into contact with his.

"I have to... It might be the only way to end this."

Sango's eyes filled with fear and she dreaded hearing his words to her.

"Sango.. I love you more than anything at this moment in time... and I know you have fallin for my brother... but I'm hoping that when you finally let him go... that you will come back to me..."

Sango bit her lip and tears fell.

"I can't promise you anything right now Inuyasha... I'm Sorry..."

Inuyasha's arms dropped and he sighed in defeat.

"Inuya-"

"It's fine... I understand..."

"I'm sorry..."

Inuyasha nodded.

"It's ok.. I can't change the way your heart is... all I can do is hope..."

Sango gasped at the sound of footsteps coming twords them.

She turned twords the sound and finally relized who it was.

"Oh no..."

"It's finaly time Sango... It is time to have the promise that was given to me so many years ago to be fufilled!"

Next Time!!!

"Thank you Half- Demon! If It wasn't for you, She wouldn't have ever belonged to me!"

"He took her! He took Sango!!! And there is Nothing we can do!!!"

"I made the mistake of hurting her so badly... don't make a worse one by letting her life go to waste at the hands of that bastard!!!"

It's Finally Come!

Kidnapped!
