A/N: Oh, I'm really getting into this now. Thank you for everyone who has
reviewed, I would name people or answer questions, but I'm currently not on-
line and so I can't do that, 'cause I can't remember who has reviewed, but
thank you anyway.
Chapter 12
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-yasha or any of the other characters.
After Sango left the bathroom, she walked around the lunchroom for a while, but she couldn't quite get into any conversations. She kept thinking about how Kikyo had said, "Just ask Inu-yasha." What if Kagome had forgiven her? If that was true, then how could Sango do anything less? Finally, she made up her mind, she would ask Inu-yasha.
Finding Inu-yasha was easy since he was sitting by himself. Clearly, he wanted to be left alone, but Sango had to know. She approached him with caution. "Inu-yasha?"
"Go away, leave me alone." He growled at her.
"Get over yourself, Inu-yasha! I am, was, Kagome's best friend and I have some questions that I need answered."
"Too bad," he said glaring at her, "I don't want to talk about it."
"Well, you're going to talk to me whether you like it or not, because Kikyo has already talked to me." Inu-yasha didn't respond, he just kept on eating, suddenly; Sango realized it was rubber pizza for lunch again. What a thing to notice at a time like this. "Listen, Inu-yasha," she said pulling up a seat, "I know that this must be really hard on you, especially since you were there, but I have to know what happened. She was my best friend and she was always there for me. I have to know what happened in her last moments."
She sat there waiting for a response, anything to show that he was listening to her. Just as she was about to turn away, he spoke. "She lost the will to live. She was mad at me and at the world." Sango patted his hand reassuringly. "Sango, it wasn't my fault, please don't blame me." A tear rolled down his cheek and for the second time that day Sango realized that someone needed her to forgive them.
She hugged him, as she would have hugged Kagome, had Kagome needed comfort. "I don't blame you, Inu-yasha. I know it wasn't your fault."
Perhaps something in her voice gave her thoughts away, either that or Inu-yasha could read minds. "Don't blame Kikyo either."
"Please, Inu-yasha, tell me why. This is what I need to know."
"Before Kagome died she. she said that she forgave Kikyo." As he relived Kagome's last moments for the millionth time since her death, he began to cry. He let Sango hold him as he would let no one else. They had both been closer to Kagome than anyone else had been when she was alive and that gave them a special bond in the aftermath of her death. Anyone watching would simply accept that they were comforting each other, only the pessimists would dare think anything more.
Sango felt horrible about the way she had treated Kikyo and as she held Inu-yasha, comforting him, she started crying as well. This was too much. Sango decided then that she would also forgive Kikyo; if Kagome could, she could as well; she would respect her friends decision.
After a few moments, Inu-yasha and Sango moved apart. "Thank you, Inu-yasha. I really do feel a bit better now. You have truly helped me." She patted his hand and then just before turning away she kissed him gently on the forehead.
"What was that for?" Inu-yasha asked, startled.
Sango smiled, "I believe that this has brought us closer, and you are more than just a friend to me, you are the older brother I never had. Thank you, you have really helped to set my mind at rest."
Sango walked off, leaving a very confused Inu-yasha behind her. But she felt better about herself, and about her resolve, things would work out.
A/N: Okay, what did you think? I'm not sure how good this chap is and it's so short. But I've written a total of four chapters tonight, two for my other fic and two for this one. Plus I've been thinking about a possible plot for a third fic, but I'm not ready to share that idea yet, 'cause I haven't worked it out yet, but it would probably be a tragedy. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed, please R&R.
