Be ready for drama in this chapter! I got a hold of my step dad's computer and I'm going to town!
----------------------------------------
Everything in her life was going so good, she felt. Sango kneeled down by the river, staring into the pure water, drinking in the essence of it. Sesshomaru was in her life for good, he having asked her to marry him. The whole point of life being whole and complete was all there, all because of that demon she had grown to love.
What would life be like in the future when she went to live with him? Sango didn't really know, or care. She just cared about being with him through hard times and good times. All of this happened because she let herself love someone.
Kagome and Inuyasha, they were so sweet around each other. It was so apparent how much Inuyasha had come to love Kagome. More than he ever could have felt for Kikyou.
Kikyou, poor Kikyou. Her first mistake had been dropping in to see her hanyou love for just a moment or two, thinking Kagome was gone. Actually, it had probably been Kikyou who they had felt following them…
Flashback
Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Shippo, and Miroku were all walking through the forest, having just completed the slaughter of yet another demon who held a shard.
"We have four shards now, Inuyasha!" Kagome announced gleefully. She turned to him, giving him a quick hug.
Kilala trotted behind Sango, meowing loudly to be picked up. Reaching down, Sango lifted Kilala into her arms, holding her tightly and scratching her tiny head.
"Can I ride on Kilala, Sango?" Shippo asked, tugging on the bottom of her kimono. Smiling at him she lowered Kilala to the ground.
"Alright, just for a little while Shippo. I don't want to wear her out before another big battle." Happily Shippo jumped onto the now transformed Kilala and she pounced in the air, running above the trees while Shippo laughed.
Things were so great now. Now that she loved Sesshomaru and told everyone. Sometimes she almost felt like running and throwing her arms out to scream, "I love Sesshomaru!"
Miroku walked silently, thinking of visiting a village. Since he had tried to undo his love for Sango, life had seemed a lot easier and a lot clearer. Things were good, love was a hard thing to try and not show. He hadn't gotten away with it so easily.
"Sango," Kagome said, slowly coming into stride with the demon huntress. "Do you sense anything weird around here? I know I'm not trained or anything but I get the feeling we're being followed, or worse…watched."
Pausing slightly, Sango closed her eyes and felt the aura of the air that surrounded her as she did when she went into battle.
"I do sense something." Turning to Inuyasha she called to him. "Inuyasha, do you sense anything?"
Inuyasha's eyebrows came together and he looked around causiously. "No, it's nothing. Nothing is there."
Both of the girls looked at one another, curious as to why he had been so quick to cover it up. They shrugged. It was Inuyasha's business after all.
Swoosh.
Jumping slightly, Kagome hurried to Inuyasha and locked onto his arm. "I know you felt that!" she said, detaching herself.
"Oh no," Inuyasha said aloud. He covered a clawed hand to his face and looked around for any signs of her.
Miroku then noticed the strange look in the hanyou's eyes. "It's Kikyou isn't it, Inuyashsa?"
Damn monk, thought Inuyasha. I was going to keep it silent.
"Yes," was all he had to say before a shadowy figure jumped out in front of the group, staring at them with slight anger in her eyes. It was the same anger she always kept. Nothing different, but never the same.
"Hello, InuYasha." She pronounced each of her syllables calmly, narrowing her eyes at him. "I just thought I'd see how you were doing, my love."
Sango thought she saw Kagome twitch out of the corner of her eye.
"'My love?' Kikyou, you are sadly mistaken." Inuyasha replied to her, narrowing his eyes in return.
"What are you talking about?" Kikyou answered.
She is soo thick headed, Sango thought, putting a hand on her hip to signify how dramatic she thought Kikyou was being.
"I love you, and you love me." Kikyou said, walking towards him and putting a finger out to touch his shoulders gently.
"Inuyasha! It's a trick!" Kagome said, tensing up.
Grabbing her hands, Inuyasha pushed Kikyou back. "Leave Kikyou."
"Fine! You've been warned, Inuyasha. I will be back." With that she disappeared, her unhuman form of clay vanishing in the air.
"Thank you Inuyasha." Kagome said, running forward and wrapping her arms around him.
Sango smiled when she saw Inuyasha blush, relaxing her arms and walking again, the others continuing also.
end flashback
How could things be going so great just when everyone got their love lives settled? It made life so much simpler just to be honestly with yourself and with your feelings. Just so simple it was.
Sighing contently she lay her hands in the water, cupping it with her palms and bringing it to her face, rinsing it.
"Sango…" A voice behind her made Sango turn quickly to seek who was calling to her.
"Who is it?" She said, staring out into the darkness, searching for a sign of someone.
A white figure stepped into the light provided by the moon, her black eyes staring straight forward. She would have been all pale except for those eyes. Even her clothes were white and her hair. Her face was a ghostly blue shade.
"Kanna!" Sango exclaimed, standing quickly and grabbing at Hikairotsu.
"No, no, Sango." Another voice said. Sango recognized it as Kagura's immediately. Kagura stepped out of the shadows also, standing beside Kanna and motioning for her to raise her mirror. Kanna did so.
Thinking quickly, Sango threw the boomerang at the mirror. It just sent it flying backwards, hitting her in the shoulder.
"Oof!" Sango was flung backwards into the lake she had just been admiring. Kagura smirked and walked forward, staring down at her prey.
"Come with me and there will be no need for a struggle. You know I will win, huntress." Kagura said, accompanying it with an evil laugh.
Trying to stand up, Sango felt herself blown backwards by Kagura's wind powers
"What do you want with me Kagura?" Sango asked, out of breath. She lay in the water, still tensed ready to jump when Kagura let her guard down.
Pretending to be interested more in her nails, Kagura said boredly, "Well, you were all alone. You make yourself so easy to pretty upon, huntress. Tell me the location of Sesshomaru."
"You think I would know?" Sango spat, trying her best not to give away her knowledge with her voice.
"Oh I think you do. Hya!" Kagura exclaimed, throwing her wind tunnel straight at Sango.
Whoosh.
Sango felt herself being carried away from harm in very strong arms. Laying her head slightly against the chest of whoever it was she recognized it immediately.
"Sesshomaru! Get out of here!" Sango cried, pointing to Kagura and Kanna who advanced upon the two.
"I can't leave you here alone." He simply replied, trying to keep calm.
"I'll be fine just get yourself out of danger," Sango moaned. Why wouldn't he listen?
Kagura raised her eyebrows and smiled devilishly at Sesshomaru. "My, my you are a beautiful one."
Showing no emotion but a slight glare, Sesshomaru put Sango on the ground to her feet.
"Tell me, what are you doing saving a demon huntress like that? Isn't she in relation to that aweful half-ling Inuyasha?" Kagura said, her tone changing to slyness to try and win over the tall demon.
Sango slipped behind Sesshomaru, her eyes on her boomerang. Slowly she walked to it, keeping in the trees while Kagura tried her best to charm Sesshomaru. Kanna stared at the ground blankly, unaware of anything.
"What do you want." Sesshomaru said, not asked. He didn't care to know her answer at all.
"Why Sesshomaru, you of all people should know that? I'm here to take you to Lord Naraku. Yes, I will be taking you. I hope you don't mind?" She took a step toward him.
Sesshomaru took one step back, matching her pace to signify his calmness.
Kagura smiled at him and walked further, and almost reached her hand out to touch his chest. The same chest Sango loved so.
"Hikairotsu!" Sango cried, throwing her boomerang straight into Kagura's side. Kagura screamed with pain and was thrown into a giant tree, the boomerang pressing against her.
It flung itself back to Sango who caught it with expertise.
"Leave him alone you bitch!" Sango spat the words out, holding Hikairotsu ready in case Kagura should attack.
She began to recompose herself, heaving hard breaths.
"You wench!" She stood up, a hand clutched at her wide where the boomerang had hit her.
Sesshomaru saw her advancing once again and pulled out his sword expertly, holding it forward at Kagura and Kanna.
Freezing in place, Kagura realized the position she was in. Growling slightly at the two she threw down her leaf and her and Kanna jumped on it, letting themselves be carried back to Naraku's hideout, Kagura turning around and glaring at Sango for good measure.
Once they were gone, Seshomaru turned to Sango, holding her hands in his. "Are you alright?" He asked her, looking down her to make sure she was fine.
"I'm good Sesshomaru. Kagura is the one in pain."
"Good throw with the boomerang. You made one hell of an enemy." Smiling at her he leaned down and kissed her gently again.
Sango put her hands to his chest, smiling because she could do this, and Kagura couldn't.
"How is my half demon brother?" Sesshomaru asked, their mouths half an inch apart.
Sango felt his breathing on her lower lip. "He's doing fine, especially in the eyes of Kagome."
"The girl who pulled the sword," Sesshomaru remarked. He kissed Sango again. "Why do I love you so?"
"Thank god you do," replied Sango. She pushed him back against a tree slightly, leaning up to kiss him gently, holding his hands down.
Their kiss became more passionate as it wore on.
Breatheless, they broke apart staring at one another with utmost respect and love.
Sesshomaru paused for a moment before leaning over Sango, wrapping his arms around her, his hair falling into her face. She smiled and blew it away, partly blowing into his ear on accident.
Leaning back, Sesshomaru raised his eyebrow and stared at her with a half lidded stare.
"Sorry." Sango apologized, blushing.
"You toy with me." He said, but was cut short when Sango popped a kiss onto his firm lips.
For the second time that day, their kiss became more passionate.
------------------------ -------------------
I fear flames on that chapter! I had to bring Kagura into it, she is the coolest bad demon lady there is. I salute you Kagura.
Anyways, what'd ya think of the waffy moments between Sango and Sesshomaru?
They're so sweet together…. swoon -
