Seishuku Kutsuu

Hello! This is the fourth chapter of SK, obviously! Well, one of the reasons I'm writing this chapter is because of all the reviews that I got! I would like to especially thank Kevin Last name withheld for the nice email that you sent me! Sniffle Domo Arigatou!

The last chapter's name, Sannyuu Dzuki, means 'Going Under'. I'm sorry if it was rather pointless. Well, onto the story!

Sango's POV

It's been two weeks. Two long, mind-numbing weeks since Kagome left Inuyasha for Kouga. I know that he has the right to feel bad for himself because of what she did to him, and I understand the pain that he feels as I've experienced it myself. But by keeping to himself and not letting anyone talk to him, he's hurting everyone who is close to him in any way. Namely myself, Kaede and Shippou. Shippou especially. He won't tell us why he's upset about what happened between Kagome and Inuyasha, but the kitsune now often talks in his sleep. He mumbles things about a 'promise', 'Inuyasha, Kagome and me... we were supposed to be a happy family!' and often starts to cry when he wakes up. Obviously Inuyasha said something to Shippou about Kagome, Shippou and himself becoming a family.

Inuyasha rose from his place upon Kaede's bed about a week ago, finally deciding that he needed some time alone. He left the bed when no one was around, then ran into his forest. Obviously he's on his tree, thinking and pitying himself.

That's IT! I'm so fed up with it! I sympathize with Inuyasha, but I will not stand by and let him sulk around! I'm going to march up to that tree and demand that he come down and talk to us! No more games and pity Inuyasha, you WILL come back to the world of the living!

Normal POV

Inuyasha was sitting in his favourite tree, observing all the things around him. A strand of white hair fluttered in front of his eyes, taken by the chilly breeze and he pushed it away limply. Simply put, Inuyasha was too tired by recent events, too weary by love gained and love lost to do anything. He sighed dismally and gazed heavily into the distance with glassy golden eyes.

"INUYASHA!"

Inuyasha was startled awake and almost fell out of the tall tree he was lying in. Soon enough, he got a hold of himself and glance around, wondering who would DARE to yell at him.

"GET YOUR ASS DOWN FROM THAT TREE!"

Inuyasha frowned as he looked beneath him and saw who was yelling at him. Sango stood on the ground, hands on her hips and a determination in her large brown eyes. The wind played with her long hair, tossing it this way and that. Sango glared up at him and set her lips in a tight line.

"GET DOWN!"

So Inuyasha complied, jumping down from his tree gracefully and landing amidst a pile of brown and red leaves. Although autumn was usually his favourite time of year, this year it seemed that the season had a sense of sadness weighing down the joy that Inuyasha usually felt about it coming.

"Alright, I'm down. Anything else?" Inuyasha gazed at her with half-lidded eyes.

"Yes. You can stop acting like a selfish BASTARD and start acting like your alive!"

"BAKA! How DARE you tell me that I'm acting like a bastard! I need some time to think things over, baka! You don't even know how I feel! You have Miroku, that hentai, to console you when you feel sad!"

"MIROKU LEFT ME!"

Inuyasha was shocked into silence. He was beginning to feel rage consume him, but now that rage was replaced by stunned silence.

"HE LEFT! He met another girl who was OBVIOUSLY a lot prettier then me, and so decided that it was the right time to confess his 'LOVE' for her!"

Inuyasha snapped out of his stunned silence and scowled, just like he used to. He growled at Sango and turned away.

"Sango... How 'bout this. I won't exactly ever be the same as before – that's too much to ask. But I will talk a little bit more then I was for the past week."

"Hai. That's better."

"But Sango?"

"Nani?"

"...Don't leave me like Kagome did."

Sango smiled and replied softly, so softly that the hanyou had to lean over to hear her answer.

"I won't."

AIIIIII!!! It's so short! But oh well, it's a start... I suppose that with my writer's block it's the best I can do. -.-

Please review, it keeps my brain moving!
