CryingAngelOfDarkness : I hope you read Chapter 6 of this story. I removed the poll and placed the next chapter there instead.

Disclaimer : I do not own Inuyasha, nor do I want to.

'Wait! Kagome...Kikyo! Why would that be? I know Kagome's Kikyo reincarnation but...You don't mean!'

He blinked and looked around, seeing the images form where his companions were. He blinked again, everything and everyone was back to normal.

'It-It can't be!'

But it was. Inuyasha could not only see his friends bodies, but their inner souls as well.

Murderous Thoughts Of A Warrior

Chapter 7 : Caring Purpose

'T-Their souls?'

"I can see their souls..." Inuyasha whispered to hisself.

"What are you mumbling about Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha jumpped away from her, shocked. He shook his head no.

"It was nothing Kagome! Nothing to worry about at all!"

She gave him a look of disbelif, then sighed, looking away from him. Inuyasha slumped his shoulders a bit. He hated when Kagome did that. It made him feel like he was guilty of something.

"Well it's still early," He said, regaining composure "let's go search for Naraku."

Sango's heart skipped a beat.

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, a shy smile playing on her face.

"About that...You see, I was kinda thinking about going home..."

"Nani! Go home?"

She nodded her head.

"You must be nuts! I'm not letting you go home!"

Kagome stood up angrily, stomping in his face.

"I gotta go home! I need new supplies, gotta take tests, and I'm almost outta candy for Shippo. We all know he'll have candy withdrawls!" Kagome yelled

"I could care less!" Inuyasha yelled back.

"Oh yeah! Well I'm outta ramen too. I guess you could go without that and your potato chips huh?"

She gave Inuyasha a smug look. She had played on his greatest weaknessess. He was defeated.

"Fine. Go home." His said in almost a whisper.

Inuyasha turned red from the embarassment of being so obsessed with those things.

She grabbed her empty bag and hurried to the well. She stopped at the well's mouth and waved back.

"I'll be back soon!"

And on that note, she left, hopping down the well to her time era.

Inuyasha looked behind him. Miroku smiled, resisting all urge to laugh.

"Miroku?"

"Hm? Yes Inu -snort- Inuyasha?"

"Where's Sango?"

Miroku looked around, then planted his fist in his hand.

"Oh yes. I think she left while you and Kagome were arguing."

Inuyasha nodded and sniffed the air.

"Is there something wrong Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha looked at Miroku.

"I'm not sure"

"Huh?"

Inuyasha took off after Sango's scent.

Sango let out a battle cry as she punched the tree again. She needed to vent badly.

"Rrrg! This is why!" Sango cried out, gripping a handle on hiraikotsu.

She threw it hard. It chopped down plenty of trees as spun. Soon it returned to her hand.

She collasped own her knees, looking at her scrapped and bleeding knuckles.

'Kagome...She's so happy I bet! She has a family.'

"She has realitives. A mother. A grandpa. A br- a brot-"

Sango's body shook, a few tears dropping to the ground.

"A brother..."

'But I'll change that!' Sango sat back, looking to the sky. She smiled as the tears slid down her face.

"I'll change all of it!" She yelled, laughing.

Inuyasha stood behind a tree, listening to Sango. He dropped his head low. His eyes wide.

"That's it! That's why she said that!"

FLASHBACK

"... And I will not stop until only Shippo, Kirara, and myself remain! ..."

END FLASHBACK

"Kagome has her family..."

Sango stood up and looked around. Inuyasha came into view.

"...Miroku had Hachi, and I have Sesshomaru. That's why, isn't it Sango?"

'He figured it out?' Sango thought as she smiled.

"Yes Inuyasha. In fact it is."

He walked over to her.

"So if you can't be happy, neither can anyone else?"

Sango gasped.

"You're selfish Sango. That's all it is" Inuyasha said in a voice that stabbed her heart.

"Now Inuyasha. I'm n-not selfish." She studdered, then smiled nothing but pure malice. "I'm sharing my pain with everyone."

Inuyasha shook his head no.

"That's not right is it? Not fair..."

"Why should I-I c-care?"

Inuyasha stopped in front of Sango. He uncrossed his arms and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Because, Sango, I care for you."

Sango gasped and blushed deeply.

"I'm worried about you San-"

Sango pushed him away.

"No! Stop it Inuyasha! Don't you dare say those things!"

Tears formed in the corners of her eyes.

"I-I-I'm gonna kill you! No matter what!"

Sango ran off again, deeper into the forest.

She panted and stopped when she got tired. She walked to a river and looked into it.

'How can I though? How can I get rid of Inuyasha?'

"...When he cares so much for me?"
