Here's Chapter three! I hope you like it! I'm trying to decide what should happen with Sango and Miroku. That lecher. Snaps fingers Well, read on!
----------------------------------
It was three a.m. and Sango was wide awake, slipping into a fresh pink kimono without her body suit again so she wouldn't offend Sesshomaru into thinking that she was ready to defend herself. Without Hikairotsu she tiptoed past a sleeping Miroku and saw what she never thought she'd ever see. Inuyasha was perched against a tree, asleep, with Kagome sitting beside him, leaning against his shoulder. His arm was wrapped around her shoulders protectively and they were both sleeping so peacefully.
Sango smiled at them sweetly and ran into the clearing, calling for Kirara. Kirara bound into the lightened circle. Sango swung herself gracefully into a sidesaddle position onto Kirara. She leapt into the sky following Sango's tugs on her mane to lead her to the cave.
Not five minutes later they arrived at the vast cave, Kirara letting Sango off. Sango watched as her little kitten turned normal size and she carried her into the cavern, dropping her when she reached the lighted portion of the cave. Kirara trotted cautiously behind her, staring around the room.
"Sesshomaru? Are you here?" Sango asked the walls of the cavern. There was a whooshing sound and Sesshomaru appeared beside Sango.
Gasping she turned to him. Then she smiled.
"I didn't think you would return, Sango." Sesshomaru said, raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You don't have enough faith in my Sesshomaru-sama." Was he blushing? She asked herself.
Shaking her head Sango continued. "Why wouldn't I come back?"
"I embarrassed you," Sesshomaru replied, walking to the rocks. He leaned against one and watched little Kirara as she bounced to Rin's room to lick her face contently.
"When?" Sango sat beside him, lightly putting her hand over his.
"When you switched kimonos." Sango blushed a little. "You didn't embarrass me," she said. "I just didn't think you would…like what you saw."
Sesshomaru said nothing. He just looked up at the top of the cave, watching water drip down the walls to the floor. Sango stared up at him, his porcelain face containing a slight blush, those beautiful amber eyes focused in one spot, but deep in thought.
Then Sango felt emotions sweep over her. She wished she could lean up and kiss his cheek. Just kiss the soft skin without having to say goodbye, or without having to have a reason. Then she blushed.
Laying her eyes on the floor she studied the rock patterns as minutes passed in silence.
"Sango," Sesshomaru said, suddenly breaking the roaring silence. "What is it to be in love?"
She paused for a moment, giving the idea of being in love deep thought.
"It means that you wish to be with that person for all eternity, or for the reason of your life. It means that you want to hold them or kiss their cheek," she blushed deeply at this point, "or kiss their lips without having to have a reason."
Pausing in her explanation she noticed the sun was beginning to rise and Inuyasha and Miroku would soon be up. Standing she saw Sesshomaru look up at her with slight interest.
"Where are you going, Sango?"
"I have to head back to the gang. They'll be worried." She kneeled in front of him and watched his amber eyes stare back at her. Leaning forward she kissed his cheek. This time Sesshomaru expected it and he let her. Standing Sango called for Kirara who happily bounded to her, the fur on her neck ruffled. Sesshomaru stood also. "I'll walk you to the end."
Sango smiled and tried her best not to let her heart jump out of her throat.
They walked to the end of the tunnel. Sesshomaru stared out in the distance for a few seconds before turning back to Sango and staring at her. She blushed under his gaze for a minute than looked down at the ground, after he would find a flaw in her face if she continued to look her way.
"I'll come back early tomorrow morning." Sango waited for Kirara to transform. She started to swing herself on, then decided to be lady like and slide up. She reached a hand up and grabbed hold of Kirara's mane until she felt hands on her waist. Sesshomaru lifted her with ease and set her on the giant fire cat's back.
"Thank you." Kirara took off, with Sango holding on tightly. Sango watched out of the corner of her eye until Sesshomaru turned and walked back into the cave, and…Sango squinted her eyes…and he had a slight smile?
Sighing, Sango thought something was wrong with her: maybe her hair had a twig in it or Kirara's tail was full of dirt. But when she checked herself, nothing was wrong.
Back at the campsite she found Inuyasha sitting up, staring down at Kagome who was still sleeping. Miroku's eyes were closed, probably sleeping also. Sango came into the clearing and sat down on her sleeping bag.
"Where were you?" Inuyasha asked, one eyebrow rose slightly.
"I…" Sango blushed, no words needed. She looked at the dirt, tracing a crescent moon. The same moon on Sesshomaru's forehead…Sango blushed deeply.
Inuyasha sighed. "He's dangerous you know. He'll kill you as soon as he gets what he wants." Sango glared at him angrily. "He is not like that! The time I've known him he was quite sweet!"
"Taking up for the beast I see?"
Startled, Sango turned to see Miroku, eyes still closed, stretching one leg out. He was stone silent and his face a bit reddened.
"Miroku…" Sango startled, unsure of how to escape this one. "I was just helping him out with Rin. He didn't even know what a cold was, or the symptoms."
Miroku was silent; his eyes open now, showing no emotion.
The next morning:
Again, only two a.m. this time, Sango stood up and switched to her plain pink kimono with no fight suit underneath again. She looked to Miroku, watching him sleep for a second. He was so peaceful like that.
She tiptoed past him and smiled at Inuyasha and Kagome, snuggled together with a blanket over them. Kagome hadn't been informed of Sango's little excursion the morning before.
Stealing away with Kirara, Sango walked into the cave, turning every now and then when she heard random sounds. A bit scared, a bit embarrassed the slayer walked into the cave, trying not to crush any rocks.
Calling out his name she listened for the swooping sound. Instead she heard a child's cough. As she moved to the small room she heard a sound. It sounded like someone walking. Turning away quickly she entered the room, watching as Rin gave another cough, her face almost cherry red.
"What's wrong with her?" Gingerly, Sango laid a hand on Sesshomaru's shoulder. He tensed but as soon as he realized it was Sango, he motioned toward Rin.
"She won't stop coughing and she can't sleep." Sango leaned over the little girl, feeling her shoulder brush against Sesshomaru's.
"Sesshomaru, can you leave us for a second?" Sesshomaru stared into Sango's eyes penetratingly, his amber eyes making Sango want to jump into his arms, lost and forgotten except to him.
He stood and walked to the doorway, pausing he stared at Rin, then left.
Sango took Rin's hand in hers. Her heart warmed when Rin smiled at her, but gave a short cough.
"Where is Sesshomaru-chan?" the little girl asked, closing her eyes for another cough.
Sango smiled and stroked the child's hand. "He is standing outside the door, don't worry." Pausing for a moment, Sango looked into the child's eyes. "Have you ever been sung to sleep?" The little girl shook her head and waited for Sango to do so.
Leaning down a bit until she was right next to her ear she said, "I want you to lay back, and close your eyes and focus your thoughts in your mind into one. That is how you overcome insomnia and lack of sleep. Focus. Picture a memory of something good, and just let sleep come to you."
Letting go of Rin's hand, she watched as Rin threaded her fingers together and lay her head back no the pillow mat peacefully, closing her eyes.
"When you love someone…" Sango began, her throat closing. She calmed herself and sang from her heart. "When you love someone, you'll do anything: Climb a mountain, or paint the sky green. When you are loved, such a blessing feeling. You want nothing more than to be their arms, for eternity…"
Pausing, Sango looked down at the girl. She was sleeping peacefully, not coughing. Just sleeping. She was so cute asleep. Even more than awake.
Sango stood up and walked out into the cavern. Sesshomaru came up behind her. He startled her a bit, but she turned quickly, her hand clutched to her heart. She reached forward and took one of his hands in both of hers.
Sesshomaru used his other hand to tilt her heard upward. "I know what love is," was all he had to say. Sango felt tears fill her eyes. She put her hands on his shoulders as he leaned down and she softly kissed his tender lips, feeling his fangs push against the back of them.
The bliss lasted for a moment, her eyes closed. When she opened them she was so close to his amber ones. So beautiful were they. She saw his beautiful complexion up close. Lowering back to the ground she smiled at him.
"I'll be back tomorrow." With that said, she turned and walked off, her fingers touching her lips, happiness washing over her.
She climbed onto Kirara's back, her head swimming as Kirara darted off through the skies, racing her way back to the clearing where Kagome and Inuyasha and Miroku were. She landed in the soft racy clearing. Someone landed behind her. Turning around quickly, hands raised, she saw Miroku. Did he see me? Panic raced through her veins.
"M-Miroku…" she stuttered. He walked up to her slowly, those dark blue-orbed eyes staring deep into hers.
"I know what you've been doing Sango, and I'm disappointed."
"Disappointed?" Her hands flung to her sides, clenched in tight fists.
"Yes, kissing him? Sango, he's a demon. He's dangerous. You won't even kiss me."
"Why should I kiss you Miroku? Every damn time we have a moment, you blow it with your hands or by speaking to another woman." Angrily Sango mocked him. " 'Bear my child! Bear my child?' "
Miroku glared at her and took one of her arms. "Sango! I love you! I love you more than any of those woman I ask that to."
Sango jerked her arm back. "Miroku, if you aren't willing to change for me one little bit, then why should I let my emotions take hold. I love you too, but you won't change for me. I may have your word, but I certainly do not have your heart!"
Stunned by her words, Miroku froze, his mouth agape, staring at the woman before him. Her eyes were narrowed, and she huffed her words. Almost spitting them out.
He took a step towards her again, grabbed the back of her head and leaned Sango backwards in a passionate kiss. She sputtered for a moment then slowly relaxed in his strong arms. She felt herself swimming back into the hole that let Miroku be her walls. Her walls that always collapsed.
She tried to push back against his muscular chest, but Miroku held to her tightly.
There was a very loud sound, like a tree being knocked over and Sango felt Miroku be swept out of her arms. Another crash and Miroku hit a tree trunk to the far left of Sango. She stood up, frozen to the spot and searched the darkness for the sign of her…rescuer.
Then she saw them: the amber eyes.
