"Inuyasha-san? Where was it that Kagome-san went to?" Sango asked, curiously looking at the hanyou.

Inuyasha sighed and shook his head. They had already been over this ten times, "She went back to her country. It's difficult to explain, but…the well near Kaede-baba's village connects to her country. She said she'd read up about am…amnes-- memory loss, or something like that…"

It had already been a week since Sango was hit by hiraikotsu, causing her to loose her memory. What surprised the others the most, was Inuyasha's behavior. He was never too far from Sango's side. When demons attacked, or when the had to retrieve a jewel shard, the hanyou insisted that he be the one to stay with her.

Kagome had gone home to see what she could learn about amnesia, and to see if there was anything that they could do to help Sango. Miroku had gone to visit Kaede, to see if she knew of any herbs that could help as well. Night had fallen, so Inuyasha assumed that they would both be gone until morning, since it was dangerous to travel in the forest after dark.

"Inuyasha-san?" Sango questioned, after a moment of silence.

"Hmm?" Was the hanyou's only reply.

"Why do you stay with me?" She asked quietly.

Inuyasha nearly fell over in surprise. The question had seemingly come out of nowhere. "Er…well…mm…Its not like that little brat can protect you, you know?" He said, motioning over to where Shippou was sleeping. "And…keh! Who knows what that lecherous monk would do."

Sango nodded slightly, as if she were thinking this over. "Well, okay then. Thank you, Inuyasha-san." She added, smiling at him.

Inuyasha turned around, so his back was facing the taijiya, "Whatever…get some sleep, Sango." Once things were quiet, he glanced back to see that she had, in fact, laid down. Turning back around, the hanyou sighed quietly, 'I wish she wouldn't smile at me like that…She smiled at me like that before…before she…' he closed his eyes, letting his mind drift back to a couple days before Kagura attacked.

~~ "Oi, Sango, what are you doing up here alone? You're starting to worry everyone." Inuyasha said, walking over to Sango who had been sitting alone in a small field.

The taijiya looked up and smiled, "I'm sorry, Inuyasha. I was just…thinking about some things."

"What kind of things?" The hanyou asked curiously, sitting down beside Sango.

"Just…things. How I feel about certain…people." She replied quietly.

Inuyasha blinked and looked at her. "W…What's that supposed to mean?" He asked, slightly confused.

Blushing slightly, Sango moved closer to Inuyasha and placed her hand over his, "Inuyasha…I love you." Then, without another word, she leaned forward and pressed her lips against his. ~~

'Dammit!' Inuyasha shook his head and hit his fists on the ground, 'Sango, you said you loved me, yet you don't remember anything about that day. If what you said was true…then wouldn't you somehow remember me?' His claws dug into the dirt, as he tried to keep from yelling out of frustration. 'Sango…I think…I think I…'

His thoughts were interrupted and his head shot up as he felt a hand over his own. Turning his head slightly, his golden eyes met with Sango's brown ones, "S-Sango…"

"What's wrong?" She asked, looking quite concerned.

The hanyou slowly shook his head and looked away, "Nothing…I was…I was just thinking…"

Her hand gripped tighter onto his, "You looked…upset, Inuyasha-san."

"I'm okay, really…Just trying to figure some things out." He replied, still not looking at her.

"Oh…well…" The taijiya paused for a moment and moved closer to him. "Don't look like that again…" She continued, laying her head on his shoulder, "I don't like seeing you like that…I don't want to see you like that…"

Stunned, Inuyasha remained silent for a few minutes, trying to think of what to say. He was surprised, obviously, but in a way, he didn't want her to move away from him. Slowly, he turned to look at her as best as he could. "You…don't like seeing me upset? But, wh--" He stopped suddenly, realizing that she had already fallen asleep.

'Maybe…maybe she really does love me…' The hanyou thought, with a slight smile. Then, leaning back against a tree carefully so he wouldn't wake Sango, he closed his eyes once more. "Goodnight…Sango."

Have you forgotten all I know, and all we had? You saw me mourning my love for you and touched my hand. I knew you loved me then.
