My chapters are never as long as I want them to be. head falls forward Oh well. Keep reading!
------------------------
Night came more quickly than Sango would have thought. She woke up, her head against the arm of the large demon. She blushed and sat up quickly noticing how he stared at her and watched her.
"Sesshomaru, why did you bring me here?" She said, touching his arm lightly. He looked at her arm for a few seconds before pulling it back. Standing her grabbed her arm. "Come with me."
She hadn't a second to think before he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her along, running fast as he could. A few seconds later she opened her eyes to find herself in a small room with wooden walls and little pictures drawn on them by a child using crushed leaves for chalk.
"What's wrong with her?" Noticing the little girl in the bed, Sango approached her with caution. The child's face was unusually pale and her lips were chapped. Sango put a hand to her forehead, seeing Sesshomaru flinch slightly.
"She just has a fever." The little girl, Rin, gave a small cough. "And cough. It's just a fever." Sesshomaru looked relieved.
Sango smiled warmly and turned to look at Sesshomaru with utmost respect and fondness. He turned to see her smiling up at him and for the first time, he blushed. He turned back to Rin and watched the little girl sleeping in her bed, breathing slowly with her clammy face.
Turning around, Sesshomaru strode out of the cave. Sango followed him, her heart racing quickly. She grabbed for his arm and he froze, spinning around quickly and menacingly.
"Sesshomaru, why are you walking away?" He stared at her in silence, those beautiful amber eyes watching her movements closely.
"Your clothes are torn." He touched her sleeve, and for the first time Sango noticed how ripped her purple and white kimono was. Blushing she nodded.
Sesshomaru nodded his head and moved back to Rin's room. He pulled out a long white kimono with short sleeves. "It doesn't tie as tightly as that one, but it will do." He handed the kimono to her, standing with his arms crossed over his chest, watching her.
Blushing Sango took the kimono and realized he was going to watch her change. Hurriedly she dropped her dirty pink kimono, embarrassed about her body and slipped into the white kimono. She felt it hugged her a bit too tightly but it would do.
Turning to Sesshomaru she saw him staring at her. She blushed as she felt happiness swarming through her. Then, smiling inside, she thought of how Miroku would have loved to see her change in front of him without a word.
Inuyasha sniffed the treetops, having lost the scent of Sesshomaru hours ago. He sighed and unhappily scratched his ear. There was a big gust of wind and Inuyasha had to hold onto the top of the tree to keep from being swept away.
"You damn fool!" Inuyasha jumped from the tree to the ground, glaring at the wolf demon as he calmed his gust of wind. Kouga stood in front of Inuyasha with his hands on his hips, a slight smile on the wolf's face.
"What is it dog boy? Can't take a little blow?" Kouga laughed at him and turned to run away.
Inuyasha knew he would regret this for all eternity but he knew he had to seek the help of his enemy, of his rival, of that…worthless piece of crap dog demon.
"Wait demon. I-I-I need your help." He felt himself choking on the words but he finally got them out. No sooner had they escaped his lips then he wished he hadn't.
Kouga turned to grin at Inuyasha, parting his lips so his fang stuck out on his bottom lip. With that, the wolf demon stood straight in front of Inuyasha holding out his claws. "I'll help you on one condition."
Sighing heavily, Inuyasha asked, "What condition?" Kouga smirked and replied quickly, "You let me take Kagome for one date."
Inuyasha sputtered and laughed in his face. "No way wolf boy. Kagome is mine, not yours." Kouga shook his head and started to walk away. "Fine then, dog boy. No help from me."
Standing rigid in place Inuyasha's fist clenched at his side. "Fine."
Kouga nodded his head and turned back to Inuyasha. "I knew you'd see it my way. Now what can I help you with?" He sat down on a rock and leaned back, his heads behind his head.
"You know that dark haired woman that stays with us? She's been kidnapped by my wretched brother."
"Oh you mean the one that carries around that giant boomerang, dog boy." Kouga chewed on his lip thoughtfully then half closed one eye.
"Have you seen her?" Inuyasha couldn't hide the hopefulness. If he had seen Sango, Inuyasha could have her back by sundown and Kagome wouldn't be angry with him.
"I have. She was being carried by that silver haired demon. Your brother I suppose."
Inuyasha looked at him tensely to see if he was lying. It didn't look like he was. "Take me to them. Or at least show me where they went, and I'll let you take Kagome out…for one night!" He emphasized the one.
"Alright mutt face. One night traded for this…girl you seek after."
"She's a demon slayer so you better watch out wolf. Oh, her name is Sango."
"Sango." Kouga tried out the name.
Standing up he motioned for Inuyasha to follow him. "I'll show you where I think they ran off." He jumped into the air and flew through, Inuyasha directly behind him.
"She wasn't squirming too bad when I saw them fly through here you know." Kouga said, making conversation as they flew over a village. "Maybe she wanted to be taken away."
"The only way I can see that is because of that pervert Miroku. I knew he'd push her over the edge one of these days." Inuyasha replied, soaring over the tops of trees. Villagers pointed at them but they kept gliding, landing in trees to get another spring in their bounce every now and then.
Kouga stopped about thirty feet from a large, gray cave that stood high on a ledge. Kouga looked at Inuyasha, smirking slightly with his fang showing through again. "She went in there with the giant demon. He was carrying her by the waist."
"I hate to say it but, thanks wolf." Inuyasha gritted his teeth on the words, almost spitting them out.
"I'll come by tomorrow night to get Kagome." When he saw the look on Inuyasha's face he remarked, "For one night."
Inuyasha seemed satisfied with that response and watched Kouga bound down into the trees. A gust of wind rushed by and he knew Kouga was gone.
Inhaling deeply Inuyasha jumped onto the ledge of the cave and peered inside. Then he heard a noise, sniffing the air he cautiously advanced forward.
"Miroku, did Sango say exactly when she'd be back?" Kagome asked, boiling the ramen noodles over a fire, and watching Shippou as he played with a dirty little Kirara.
Never good at lying Miroku looked away from her. "N-no she didn't. She just said she had to leave to her village."
Kagome stood and moved till she was sitting in front of Miroku on her knees. "Is that really what she said, Miroku?"
Miroku couldn't help it. He wouldn't spill all the lies if she didn't stop pressuring him like that. So, he thought of the only thing he could do to take her mind off Sango and stop pestering him.
"Miroku! You pervert!!!" There was a loud thwacking sound heard as Kagome backhanded Miroku in the face for grabbing her butt. She thought he was over hers and had moved on to Sango's. Kagome remained thoughtful for a second. Miroku was just trying to cope with his loss of Sango so suddenly. She could understand how he felt. With Inuyasha gone hunting or whatever he was out doing she felt alone too. Then she couldn't help but allow the thought to come to mind: Inuyasha AND Sango together were gone. She shook her head. How could she think of that at a time like this?
"Miroku, I'm sorry I slapped you." She pulled the noodles off the fire and ladled them into four bowls, juice for Kirara, and ramen for her, Shippou, and Miroku.
Nodding his head Miroku took the bowl and slowly ate the noodles, thinking only how much longer it would be till Sango and Inuyasha came back; if they came back. He choked on his noodles.
"Sesshomaru…" Sango said, her eyes darting up to his. Those beautiful amber eyes of his were so full of mystery and maybe even deception. Sesshomaru said nothing but he took a step towards her, looking into her brown eyes.
"Rin will heal won't she?" He asked.
Sango felt disappointment tug at her heart but she forced herself to smile and look up at him. "Yes, she will be just fine. Don't worry about her. She just needs plenty of rest."
Sesshomaru nodded his head and moved to lean against a rock. He propped himself up against it for a second before Sango came to join him. She sat in front of him, staring into his eyes. "Do you love Rin?"
Staring back at her, Sesshomaru showed no emotions and no feelings. "Not human love, but I do."
She nodded her head, smiling at him. Oh how she wished he'd smile. Wait, what was she thinking? This was Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's archenemy. Shaking her head she moved back but felt Sesshomaru's strong hand grab her hand. She looked up at him, blushing slightly. "No Sango. Stay. I need someone's company until Rin is better."
Sango let out a breathe of happiness. Happiness? She smiled at him and leaned against the rock right next to him. Sesshomaru went rigid for a second and stared toward the entrance. Sango sat up, scared and turned too. A loud sniffing sound came down the tunnel to the entrance, or rather exit for them.
"Sango?" Inuyasha's voice resounded off the walls. Sango sat up and looked toward the hanyou who was slowly creeping his way down the hall. She turned to Sesshomaru and stared into his beautiful ornament colored eyes.
"Sesshomaru, is it alright if I return to you at a later time. I don't want a fight to occur here." Sesshomaru stared at her for a second, testing her. Perhaps he was seeing if she was really going to come back. All he did was nod. Quickly so he wouldn't catch on, Sango leaned up and kissed his cheek then jumped to her feet and ran forward to Inuyasha before he could see Sesshomaru.
Startled, Sesshomaru put his hand to his face and touched his cheek where Sango's lips had touched. A moment of brilliance had occurred when she did that. No, she was a human. He got up to his feet and walked to Rin's room, wishing she were awake.
"Sango?" Inuyasha stared at her. She ran forward to him and threw her arms around his body.
"You came for me!"
Inuyasha stepped back and rubbed the back of his head with his hand. "Well, Kagome would sit me if, you know, if you didn't return." Finally after a moment of stuttering he returned the hug to her.
"What's with your clothes?" He looked down her body, one eyebrow raised. Sango blushed and walked toward the exit. "I, um…my normal kimono was ripped to almost shreds and Sessh-" She froze. She couldn't let Inuyasha know who she had been with this last night and day. "…and I-I-I found his one."
"Feh. Well," He turned so she could climb onto his back. "Let's go. Kagome is probably worried, and so is Miroku." Sango's heart skipped a beat. Miroku, worried about…her? He had tried to save her that night Sesshomaru kidnapped her. He just needed a human girl to tell him if Rin would be okay. Smiling she realized that Kagome would have shot him with her arrows or something like that. All because she loves Inuyasha, Sango thought, smiling to herself.
"What's that sappy look on your face for?" Sango didn't realize Inuyasha had been staring at her. She blushed and wrapped her arms around his neck, jumping onto his back. He carried her off, jumping on trees, trying his best to hurry before sunset, as was promised.
When he landed on the ground in the clearing Sango felt a wave of emotion wipe over her. She wanted to see Sesshomaru again, for some odd reason.
Leading her back to the camp, they reunited with each other, Kagome hugging Inuyasha then hugging Sango.
"Oh, I'm so glad your back. How was your village?" Sango looked behind Kagome at Inuyasha, a bewildered look on his face. "Oh, it was…great." She smiled and hugged Kagome.
Kagome turned back to Inuyasha and jumped into his arms. "Where the food you went hunting for?" Inuyasha turned red and mumbled something. Kagome looked into his eyes as he searched for a reasonable excuse. "I smelled your ramen Kagome."
Kagome grinned and went to the ramen, Inuyasha following closely behind.
Miroku walked up to Sango, putting a hand on her shoulder. She smiled at him, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment.
"I missed you the whole time you were gone. Don't let on to Kagome what really happened. She'll freak out and murder Inuyasha for not telling her the truth." He chuckled. Sango felt her heart melt at the sound of his chuckle.
Then he noticed her outfit. He paused for a moment, his eyes widening slightly at the site of her. "Did it shrink?" Sango blushed and took a step back.
"My other one was ripped and I had to wear this one." Miroku smiled and pulled her into a tight hug. "I like it on you." His hold tightened and Sango felt like she was in a sweet bliss.
Then she felt her body being violated by his wandering hand. "Monk!" She screamed, shoving him backwards, and raising her hand to thwack him on the face.
He cowered for a second but Sango stopped. She sighed and started to walk away when she felt Miroku come up behind her and rub her butt once again. "What are you doing?" She screamed at him, turning away from him.
"Well, you didn't hit me so I thought…" His voice trailed off. Then he smiled and reached forward again. Sango kicked his shin and ran into the forest after Hikairotsu. She grabbed her boomerang and slowly started back to the clearing.
"Miroku you are such a…lecher!" Miroku smiled at her warmly. "I've been called worse," he said and sat down against his tree, closing his eyes as the night air slowly cascaded around them.
