So, lemme tell you a little about this story.  Don't worry though; I won't bore you to death by talking forever. ^_^ I have another story entitled "All Over Again" but I decided that it wasn't coming across as well as I'd like it to, so I took an undetermined break from it.  Finally I decided that I should start small, and try writing a one shot story.  And that's how this story started, as a one shot.  But as I wrote, all of Sango's possible feelings just kept popping into my head.  I decided that "hey, this isn't an easy decision for someone to make" and so I went ahead and made it more than a one shot.  It's not completely done yet, but I hope you'll be happy with what I have to far.  I'll post up a little at a time, like twice a week maybe, and that'll give me time and an incentive (a reason) to finish it.  There, I don't think that took too long to read, but just in case, I won't say any more besides…

ENJOY THE STORY ^_^

"Disgusting.  I can't believe you did that, Kagome."

"Let it go, Inuyasha.  It was worth it to get the shards."

"But how could you agree to give Kouga one kiss per jewel shard?!" yelled an outraged Inuyasha.

"Why are you making such a big deal out of this?  It was just a little kiss."

"Two!  It was two kisses!"

"Aw!  That's so cute, are you jealous, Inuyasha?" prompted Kagome.

"Huh?  Of course not!  I'm just sayin' we could've just as soon cut that damn wolf's legs off!"

"You are jealous!  Aww!  How cute!" laughed Kagome.  A very amused Sango, Miroku, and Shippo trailed behind the couple.

"It's been a long time since we all began our journey together," said Miroku as he and the other two quickened their pace to catch up with Inuyasha and Kagome.

"Yes, and now the Shikon No Tama is almost complete," added Sango.

"And as soon as it's whole again, I'll be able to use it to become a full demon!" announced Inuyasha.  "We just have to get that last shard back from…ow!  What'd you do that for Miroku?!"  Miroku had unceremoniously whacked Inuyasha in the back of his head before he could complete his sentence.

"Inuyasha!  Shh!" whispered Kagome, glancing at Sango.  The older girl's eyes fixed themselves on the ground.

"Look, it ain't my fault where the jewel shard is!  All I know is that without that shard, the jewe's never gonna be complete!" stated Inuyasha with complete disregard for the demon exterminator's feelings.

"Inuyasha!  Osuwari!" screamed Kagome in absolute frustration.  "I can't believe you!  How could you say something like that?!  Come on you guys, let's just leave him here."  With Shippo taking up residence on Kagome's shoulder, she and Miroku tried to continue a more cheerful conversation with Sango.  Even with Inuyasha lying in pain on the road behind them, Sango couldn't ignore the reality that he was right.  Only one jewel shard kept the Shikon No Tama from completion: Kohaku's.

well?  So, what did you think of that first chapter?  Was it ok?  I'd love it if you'd review this now that you've finished reading it.  And if you think I could change something to make it better, please tell me, I love writing advice.  And if you have any questions, feel free to ask.  Well, I hope you enjoyed it, cause I enjoyed writing it, and keep a look-out for the next upcoming chapter. /p

~A Few Interesting Points (some that people get confused on)~

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

~yes, it's spelled Kouga, not Koga.

~Shikon No Tama is the Japanese name for "The Jewel of Four Souls" 

Sango explains the history of the jewel in ep26 and Miroku(in the same episode) explains the four souls

~Yes, Kohaku does have a jewel shard in him, believe it or not.  Naraku implanted in

  Kohaku as a way of controlling him and it keeps him alive after he was "killed" in ep24

~"Osuwari" = 'sit boy' ;  this is a) the correct spelling and b) not a form for things like "we should sit down" and such, it has a completely different grammatical meaning

~WARNING: SPOILER: the rosary beads do eventually come off  :) review and tell me if you want me to spoil it with a "when" /p
