Aye, sorry about that: I meant 'End of Chapter Six!' Well, thank you so MUCH for your reviews, besides the flame I got…
Oh, and if anyone wants to read a REALLY good Sesshomaru X Sango fic, read this one: It hasn't been updated in along time, but it does have an ending. It's an awesome one.
Well, read on!
---------------------------------------------------
Miroku sat against a tree, his thoughts ragged as he tried to sort them out.
"I don't ever let anyone tell me what it is they think I need. They've never seen the way you looked at me, as if there's something in me that nobody else can see…" Softly he sang to himself, tracing the tip of his staff in the dirt in front of him.
Laying the stick down he knew how it had to be. Just like before. Never settling on one woman, never changing for anyone but himself. Miroku knew he was a bachelor at heart, always going to stray from one woman to the next even if he had love for one.
Never had he shown Sango he loved her, with the exception of a few gropes here and there. Those never made her feel special because he did it to all women. Maybe, he thought, she just needed to be special. The only one for someone, someone just like Sesshomaru.
Silently laughing to himself, Miroku stood up.
"I'll just have to move on with my life and be happy for her choice." Closing his eyes happily he traveled back to a nearby village to enjoy some sake and maybe a few gropes.
Kagome and Inuyasha landed on the ledge to the cave, slowly entering it and searching around the room calling out Sango's name.
"Inuyasha, over here!" Kagome called to Inuyasha who quickly bounded to where she was.
Pointing at the drawings on the wall she saw Inuyasha shrug.
"They're just Rin's little creations. Nothing special." He got on all fours, sniffing the ground here and there.
Grabbing his ears she pulled his face back to the drawings. "No look at them! Closely! They tell a story and you can tell who the people are!"
Squinting his eyes he stared at the four stick figures and followed the trail they made down the wall staring into them deeply.
"I don't know. Tell me the secret."
Slapping her forehead she pointed to the first figure with silver hair standing next to a black haired one.
"It's Sesshomaru and Sango! There's Rin and Jaken!" Kagome said, pointing her finger down as she named them.
"Damn! Rin must have drawn these! Does she want Sango as her mommy?" Inuyasha asked blindly.
"Of course she does." Sighing heavily Kagome watched Inuyasha as he moved his head down the drawings pausing on one in particular.
"What the hell…?" He traced his finger over the chalk, slightly smearing it.
Kagome leaned forward, cocking her head to the side so she could look at it more closely. Reaching up to touch it, as if her fingers would be able to tell what it was by feeling it.
"Oh my gosh!" Inuyasha jumped at Kagome's sudden words.
"What?"
"It's Sesshomaru and Sango kissing!" Kagome couldn't help but smile at how sweet the thought was.
Inuyasha on the other hand, furled up his nose in disgust. "Her? She wouldn't kiss my brother." He said it ruefully, leaving the room only to find more drawings.
A loud yell of surprise caught Kagome off guard. She ran into the largest room to find Inuyasha hunched over a giant smooth rock with drawings on it.
"Look!" He choked out, pointing directly to one.
"Aw!" Kagome leaned inward and stared at the picture more closely. The smaller raven-haired girl was hugging the taller dark haired figure. A tall, lean silver haired stick character had his arm around the two, and he appeared to be smiling.
Quickly Inuyasha wiped it away. "No, Sango can't be with my brother. That is too…what's the word Kagome?"
"Freaky. Horrifying, or terrible." Sighing, she quietly murmured, "Or just plain out weird."
"Weird. Yes, this is too weird." He used his foot to scratch behind his ears, sitting on his feet like a dog, his hands in front of him.
"Ready to leave Inuyasha? I think I've seen enough." Kagome sighed heavily and climbed on Inuyasha's back as he ran out of the cave and jumped down to the ground, all momentum lost. His speed was slow, making it easier for Kagome to walk beside him rather than climb onto his back.
Later that night:
Sango leaned against a tree, sipping the soup Kagome's mom had asked Kagome to bring especially for her and her wounds.
Ignoring the eyes that watched her closely, Sango kept her face down, her eyes shut, barely lifting the bowl to her lips to drink the hot liquid.
"Come on Sango. Please?" Kagome begged, crawling to her to friend on all fours.
Turning her head slightly, Sango set the bowl in her lap, still ignoring Kagome's pleas.
"I'm really sorry, you know I am. I just didn't think you could change how you felt so easily." Kagome tried to look into Sango's face as she spoke.
"Who said it changed Kagome-chan?" Sango asked, challenging her.
"It didn't? Then…" Casually she looked at Miroku who was silently eating his food, against a tree on the other side of them. Inuyasha lay in the tree Miroku was against, yawning and staring out at the giant half moon.
Sighing sadly, Sango sat the bowl down and took Kagome's hands in hers. She looked at her and spoke softly so that no one would here.
"You are lucky Kagome-chan. So lucky."
"Wha-what do you mean?" Kagome asked, startled by Sango's sudden warmth to her.
Sighing softly she continued. "You have a man who loves you. He is so faithful to you, and it's so obvious how much he loves you. Always you can see it in his eyes. Always." Smiling at Kagome she nodded her head to show how truthful it was.
Kagome paused for a moment to look up at Inuyasha who calmly sat in the tree a look of utmost control locked into his features. He stared at the moon, the light reflecting off his slightly darkened complexion.
"He doesn't…" Kagome began but Sango shook her head, releasing Kagome's hands. "Miroku does love you!" Kagome said, clenching her fists.
"He has said that before," Sango said calmly. "But, I know he doesn't mean it fully or he can't be the one I want to love with all my soul."
"Don't you already?" Kagome asked, her eyes quivering.
"I did. But now…" Sango thought of Sesshomaru and how caring he had been when she had been hurt.
"Well," Kagome leaned forward pulling Sango into a friendly hug. "I'm happy for you Sango."
Half in shock, half in happiness Sango pulled Kagome back and looked at her. "What? Say that again?"
"I'm happy for you. I'm glad you found someone who loves you for who you are."
Thankfully, Sango leaned forward and hugged Kagome. At least she wouldn't have to sneak out anymore or keep it a secret. Feeling like a giant weight was lifted off her chest she sighed very contently.
Kagome smiled at her and stood up; walking back over to the collection of bowls Inuyasha and Miroku had left. She stuffed them into her bag and laid down in her sleeping bag ready for night.
"Inuyasha! It's time to go to sleep!" She called to him, smiling when she remembered what Sango had said to her just minutes before. 'You have a man who loves you. He is so faithful to you, and it's so obvious how much he loves you. Always you can see it in his eyes. Always.' She had seemed so sure of what she was saying. So positive that Inuyasha loved her.
Maybe she was right. Who knew? Everyone seemed at peace with their selves when they finally closed their eyes and fell asleep. Peaceful sleep.
"Sango…"
Sango looked up at the one she loved, her eyes sparkling as she stared deep into his amber eyes.
"Yes?" Quietly she put her hand on his chest, feeling his muscles under his attire.
"Nothing, nothing at all." Leaning down he kissed her.
Jaken, Rin, and Sesshomaru had been living by the waterfall since the day Sango had been hurt. Rin was out playing with her "butterflies" or rather the little forest creatures that had found her adorable. Jaken on the other hand, was pouting with Rin because he was chosen to watch over her.
Taking a deep breathe Sesshomaru turned back to Sango, clasping her hands in his stroking his thumb over the back of her hands. She flushed slightly staring up into those eyes of his.
"What is it Sesshomaru?" She asked, trying not to sound panicked.
"I love you, Sango and I want to know if you'll come and be with me when the hunt for the shards is over." Sesshomaru's face then took on a slight blush as he stared down into her chocolate colored eyes.
"I don't know what to say…" Tears welled up in the back of her eyes and she had to fight to hold them in.
"Will you say yes?" Sesshomaru asked, sounding hopeful.
"Of course I will! Yes!" Sango threw her arms around Sesshomaru hugging him to her, the happiness flooding over the two of them.
Standing shock with her around him, Sesshomaru felt a smile break through. His arms, being suspended above Sango's back suddenly found their way to her hair. He stroked it gently, smiling at her. Kissing the top of her head, he felt happiness he hadn't found in quite awhile.
"Thank you, Sango…" He sputtered, trying to find a way to thank her for showing him this happiness.
"Oh Sesshomaru," Sango said sweetly. She leaned up, on tippy toes, and plucked her mouth to his. He returned the kiss slowly, embracing her tighter.
When they parted, both took a deep breath. Sango ran her hand up Sesshomaru's chest calmly, then to his face. She put her hand on his perfect cheek, using her thumb to caress his lips.
"I love you."
"I love you more." Sesshomaru replied, kissing her forehead.
"You do not! I do." Sango gestured toward herself with her other hand.
"Do too," he said, leaning forward to her face teasingly. He brushed his lips against hers and turned around.
"Hey!" Sango cried, reaching out to turn him back around.
Chuckling slightly Sesshomaru walked quickly and Sango found that she loved the way he ran or moved.
"I'm not done with you!" She chased after him, running as fast as she could after him. When she reached out and brushed her fingers against his shoulder he ran faster.
"No! Wait!" Sango took a leap at Sesshomaru, tackling him to the ground. They rolled for a moment before she straddled him, trying her best to pin him to the ground. Being nice, he didn't move and allowed her to pin him completely. She stuck his arms under her calves, holding them to his side. She leaned forward and held his arms to the ground.
"I love you more! Say it! 'Sango loves Sesshomaru more!' " Sango yelled, staring him straight in the eye.
"No, because I love you more!" Sesshomaru said, lifting his head.
Leaning down, Sango caught his lips in a bruising kiss pushing his head back to the ground.
"Say it!"
"Why?" Sesshomaru asked, his eyes half open staring at his love.
"Because I just want to hear it from your lips." She leaned down and kissed him gently again.
"No."
"Why?" Sango cried, her eyes opening fully staring down at him.
"I don't wish to say it because I want you to keep kissing me," he said, smiling devilishly.
Sango smiled at him and lay down on top of him, kissing him gently, then more passionately. "I love you so much." She rolled over, lying beside him; both staring up at the sky and watching birds pass through the trees.
Sesshomaru leaned over and took her hand in his, kissing it. On his elbows he stared into her eyes.
"Kiss me Sesshomaru."
"As you wish," he said, leaning down kissing the corners of her mouth. Then, surprising her, he grabbed her hands and held her still. Laughing loudly, she struggled to get up.
"Sesshy! Sesshomaru! Oh come on! Let me up!" She struggled more but he held her straight on the ground then kissed her cheek. Smiling at him she turned her head to catch one of his kisses but he growled and kissed her chin, then down to her neck.
"Oh!" Sango cried when he gently bit her neck. He licked the wound and kissed her neck more. Then, working his way up to her face again, he kissed her forehead, temple, and eyelids.
Sango gave a frustrated groan trying to catch his kiss again. Finally Sesshomaru leaned down and kissed her lips. She gasped and leaned up to kiss him more.
"Sango…" Sesshomaru said, putting a finger to her lips and pushing her head back to the ground.
Smiling he laid his head on her chest, closing his eyes. Sango breathe a sigh of happiness and let her head roll to the side, also closing her eyes.
