Here we go! Chapter five! I just have to say, thank you so much for all of your reviews! I love the idea of Sango and Sesshomaru being a pair.
I just have one question...Sesshomaru only has one arm? Maybe I am the blind idiot, sigh, laughs Oh well. Read on!
----------------------------------------------
"Sesshomaru...I need to tell you something."
The demon turned to Sango, his eyes watching the human girl closely. She blushed slightly staring down into the water, watching a leaf float down slowly.
"What is it Sango?"
Could she really tell him? Just say it out loud? What if Sesshomaru didn't feel the same? He kissed you for crying out loud! A nagging voice in the back of her head reminded her.
Reaching over she took one of his hands, holding it between hers gently. She looked up into his amazingly golden eyes, almost caught in them.
"I...I...I..."
Swallowing the lump in her throat she turned to him, sitting on her knees staring straight at him as he watched her, his eyebrows slightly lifted, waiting for you to speak.
"I love you, Sesshomaru."
Sango froze, lowering her eyes to his clothes, expecting him to get up and leave or scowl. Maybe even laugh in her face but he did not. He merely stared into her face, memorizing her every feature: The long black eyelashes, her brown eyes, and flustered skin tone.
"Sango..."
Sesshomaru reached his hand up and using one finger, tilted her face upwards so she would look into his eyes. She searched them for any emotion to what she had said. Her embarrassment increased as the silence between them grew.
"I feel the same way."
Sango's eyes opened widely, her emotions running over. Her brown eyes sparkled with love and light, and everything seemed so perfect. Sesshomaru smiled at her warmly.
"Really?" Sango stood straight on her knees, looking down into his eyes. "Really? You mean it?"
Sesshomaru stared at the water for a moment, then smirked. He turned back to her. "Yes, I do. I love you."
Jumping forward, Sango threw her arms around him, hugging him to her. She felt tears well up in her eyes. When she opened them to see his smile again, the tears spilled over, cascading down her chin. Lifting his finger, Sesshomaru wiped them away.
"Oh Sesshomaru. I love you so much..." Gently leaning down, Sango kissed his lips, unaware that Sesshomaru watched her. When their lips met, he slowly closed his eyes and put an arm around her waist, holding her close.
The moment was perfect. Birds in the tree chirped happily, a slight breeze rang through, and the green leafed trees swayed in unison. The water sparkled happily, as if feeling the couple's happiness. Clouds rolled in, covering up the bright sunrays, but allowing the shine to hit them. It was so perfect like the Gods had planned it all out.
Coming out of the water, soaking wet, Kagome and Inuyasha walked through the forest, holding hands in a sweet, casual manner.
"Where do you think Sango is?" Kagome asked, using her spare hand to ring out her wet hair.
"Probably with my no-good brother." Inuyasha said, shaking his hair out.
"You don't think she loves him do you?" Kagome looked a bit panicked when she stared into Inuyasha's amber colored eyes.
Pausing, Inuyasha remained thoughtful for a moment. He stared around the forest, contemplating whether he thought Sango did or not. If she didn't, why did she keep visiting him? He could sense that Rin was well miraculously. But what if she really did? That would explain her early morning visits, and her disappearances now.
"Where is that monk?" Inuyasha asked to no one in particular.
He peered around the forest, searching for Miroku. Freezing Inuyasha sensed it. He shoved Kagome behind him quickly and turned around...
...Just in time for Kouga the wolf demon to crash through the trees with his wind tunnel around him.
Thud! He landed in front of Inuyasha, an evil snarl on his face, his eyes full of hatred.
"All right dog face. You promised me a date with that lovely girl, Kagome." Kouga stared straight into Inuyasha's eyes menacingly.
"You think I would keep to a promise like that? Dream on wolfee." Glaring back at Kouga, Inuyasha hid Kagome farther behind his back.
Kouga wanted a date with me? What for? What was going on? Kagome thought.
"I helped you find your demon slayer, now you give me my woman!"
Snarling little more, Kouga stood taller, advancing on Inuyasha who scooted Kagome farther back.
"Helped me? I didn't need...eh...your help!" Inuyasha's voice strained, trying to lay Kouga the hint not to give him away to Kagome.
"Inuyasha! What is he talking about? Need your help? Inuyasha?" Kagome shouted at Inuyasha, standing on her tippy toes.
Panicked by Kagome's words, Inuyasha was shaking, his teeth showing and his eyes wide.
"Didn't the flea bag here tell you?" Kouga's deep voice said in slight triumph. "Your slayer was out in Sesshomaru's cave. Apparently he had taken her and just carried her off. Really hilarious thing was, she wasn't upset about it or fighting back."
Kagome froze, rooted to her spot. She clenched her fist as her side. Her eyes held anger and she slowly turned to Inuyasha who had backed up, his hands in the air trying to defend himself.
"Now Kagome, be nice. Watch your tongue!"
Opening her mouth, Kagome screamed: "SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!"
Bam. Bam Bam. Bam. Inuyasha hit the ground over and over, his face being smashed into the dirt harder and harder.
"Telling me she was at her village!!! You lied to me!! SIT! SIT! SIT!!! SIT!!!!!!!!"
Bam. Bam. Bam. WHA-BOOM!
The final sit sent Inuyasha about three feet downward into the dirt.
Kouga laughed at Inuyasha's predicament, turning back to Kagome and grabbing her hands. "So, can we try that date now?" Slyly, he kissed her hand.
"I would be more than happy too SIT down with you and do something other than SITting around here with Inuyasha who only SITs all the time, isn't that right you SITter!" Kouga laughed at Kagome as she spoke, sending Inuyasha falling deeper into the dirt, grumbling and trying to pull himself up.
"Kagome! Kagome? I'm sorry!" Inuyasha tried to stand up to chase after her, spitting dirt out of his mouth but Kagome merely gave another sit, and he fell straight to the ground. Defeated, Inuyasha stayed facing the dirt, a sweat drop appearing on his head.
"Damn wolf." Inuyasha muttered as Kouga led Kagome off, his arm linked to hers.
Later that night:
"More ramen, Sango?"
Silence.
"Sango?"
Silence yet again.
"Sango!"
"What? What is it Houshi?"
"You were answering me, Sango. Do you want more ramen?" He held out a small bowl full of ramen. They had extra since Inuyasha had insisted on being alone that night. He was probably out stalking Kagome and Kouga, who were indeed on their date. They wouldn't return until nearly sunset.
Sango sighed. No sneaking out to visit Sesshomaru. She felt like a teenager who had to sneak out of their house to go see their friends.
"No thank you Houshi-sama." Sango quietly ate her ramen, staring into her food bowl so she wouldn't have to look at Miroku and feel guilty.
The silence over came to the two yet again. It blanketed them, dawning the foreboding feeling of utter aloneness, even though the other was sitting so close, yet so far away.
"Sango?" She looked up at him slowly. Her eyes rested on his forehead, deciding not to look into his purple-orbed eyes.
"Is it love?"
"What are you talking about?" She narrowed her eyes at him in a defiant glare.
Miroku sighed. He should have known this wasn't going to be easy to get out of her. "Do you love Sesshomaru?"
"I don't know what you are talking about."
As quietly as ever and quickly, Sango found Miroku next to her, taking her bowl of ramen from her hands. In shock she watched as he clutched her hand in his, then stared into her eyes. "You do know what I am talking about. He will not love you too, I don't know why you won't listen to Kagome."
Miroku stared into her eyes, hoping to change her mind about Sesshomaru completely, a part of him already knowing if she really loved him, his attempts to alter her choice of heart would fail.
Sango felt her eye twitch angrily as she listened to Miroku, almost insult her with his words of choice. "What are you talking about Miroku? He could love me."
"No, he can't." Miroku sighed, seeming to take pity on Sango.
"Yes he can! I may not be that pretty but at least he can accept me for how I am!"
"He is a demon Sango! He won't love a human like...you." Miroku said, standing up.
Sango stood also, staring him in the eye. "Like me? What do you mean, like me?"
"For Heaven's sake, you are a demon huntress!" Miroku threw his hands out to signify how important he thought that was.
Crossing her arms over her chest she glared at him. "It doesn't matter to him."
"You love him then?" Miroku asked, sitting down against his favorite tree, watching Sango, as she looked thoughtful.
"Yes, I do love him. And he loves me."
"You don't know that."
"Yes I do! For once something good happened in my life..." Sango smiled at the thought of his words today. 'Yes, I do. I love you.'
"Am I not a good thing in your life?" He was getting defensive now.
"...that is promising to stay true to me," Sango finished with a smirk.
Miroku scowled at the darkness to his right. "You are right Sango, I am nothing to you." With that, he turned sideways and stared into the darkness, upset at her, and upset at himself.
"I didn't say you were nothing to me." Sweetly, Sango laid her hand on Miroku's shoulder, kneeling in front of him. He didn't move. "I love you like a brother, Miroku. You are like an older Kohaku to me. Please, understand this. I just need love in my life that won't turn or stray on me and Sesshomaru can provide that. He is wise, and he is beautiful."
Her eyes sparkled with passion for a few moments. "You are handsome, and can do so much better than I, the demon slayer." Smirking she kissed his cheek gently.
Laying down in her sleeping bag, she prayed that tomorrow would come soon. She longed to see Sesshomaru. Smiling and half awake Sango murmured, "Yes, my Sesshomaru."
"Wake up! Come on Sango!" Sango woke to someone's hands grabbing her shoulders and shaking her awake. When her eyes adjusted to the light provided by the fire she saw Kagome, her eyes lit with excitement.
"What is it Kagome? The sun isn't even up." She glared at the first rays of light peering over the top of the mountains through the giant trees. Rolling over onto her back, Sango slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes to wake herself fully up.
Miroku was already awake, staring at the ground thoughtfully, his mind running over the events since he had known Sango. Where had he gone wrong? It could be the continual groping, or the fact that he had to see all women and enjoy their beauty. Or it could be that she just fell in love and didn't mean to. All of the above worked fine.
"I have to tell you what happened last night! It was so sweet." Kagome cleared her throat and began her story, describing how Kouga had taken her out and served her fish for supper, deboned already.
"Better deboning than Inuyasha does."
Then she went on to tell how Kouga and her had gone for walk. After Kouga had tried to kiss her seven times and mysteriously been hit by a rock, he had decided to search the trees.
"He knew it was Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed, clutching her fists to her chin with happiness.
"Go figure," Sango replied, half listening.
"Well, when he finally found Inuyasha the date was almost over. So Inuyasha and Kouga got into this awfully horrible fight where Inuyasha pushed Kouga into a lake! He looked so funny all wet like that. I had to 'sit'-"
BOOM!
"Sorry Inuyasha! I had to...err...you know to him so he'd stop trying to drown Kouga in the little river."
Sango laughed sweetly, still half awake and wishing she could sleep forever.
"They were so funny!" Kagome said, swooning over the two men who loved her so.
"I can only imagine how they were." Sango smiled at Kagome and layback down, closing her eyes.
Kagome leaned down to whisper, "How were things with Miroku?"
Now Sango was wide-awake. She glared at her friend, one eyebrow twitching considerably.
"He told me Sesshomaru wouldn't' love me."
"Sango," Kagome put a hand on Sango's shoulder. "I hate to break it to you but, he won't."
"He will, and he does!" Sango turned away from Kagome, ignoring her.
"He does not. You are a huntress for demons, and well, he is a demon."
"What a shame." Sango stood up, brushing off her pink and white kimono. She had left out the body suit once again. Now she was in it for comfort, because she knew Sesshomaru didn't feel threatened by her huntress outfit.
"Where are you going?" Kagome tugged on Sango's hand.
"To see the one I love." With that, Sango stomped out of the clearing, nodding her head at Inuyasha who angrily was sitting gin a tree, brushing dirt off his face and clothes from his previous sitting.
"Sango!" Kagome called after her, cupping her hand over her mouth to say it again. "I'm sorry, come back here and we'll talk about it! Please?"
"Kirara!" Sango called and Kirara immediately came. Hoisting herself up on her giant cat's back, Sango flew off to the cave where Sesshomaru lived for now, until he was positive Rin would be fine outside in the cold air.
She arrived at the cave, taking in a deep breathe before walking in the door.
