Note: I do not own any of the Inuyasha characters. Also I do not follow the Manga or Anime storylines so if they conflict with my story, sorry but its not what I am aiming for. Just to be sure you know I suck at grammar I'll do my best to keep it clean so please don't nit pick.

The breeze gently brushed Sango's body as she slipped into the hot springs beside her friend Kagome. Another day had ended and so much was on her mind lately. Tomorrow would be a year since Naraku killed everyone in her village...except her. It was still a mystery why her life was spared while many others were not. She served no purpose to Naraku, she was no ally or friend, why was she allowed to live while even the babies were not granted such a luxury? Some things she figured would never make sense to her especially Naraku and his plans.

"What's wrong Sango?" Kagome asked looking over from her side of the spring. "Huh?" was all she could reply being shaken from her thoughts.

"Its just you've been so quiet lately, something must be on your mind. You know you can tell me anything." Kagome quietly added. She was sitting across the spring from her. Kagome was a strange person but that was why Sango liked her so much. Kagome was a reincarnation from a priestess who died several years ago. But from all she could tell Kagome was nothing like the old priestess apart from her looks.

There was no way she could possibly tell Kagome about everything that was going through her mind? Where would she even start? Kagome was a great friend but really had no idea what she was going through. None of her friends could really understand/"Of course Kagome. I guess I'm just tired that's all."

"It's Miroku isn't it?" Kagome said with a smirky wink that she tended to do.

What? 'Is she serious?' Could Kagome really think that a guy would really be on her mind? It was hard to have affections for a Miroku. Especially when it is so hard to tell how he feels in return. Sometimes Miroku was the sweetest guy, then other times it could feel like if she was to disappear tomorrow he wouldn't even notice or care. Even though he isn't her main source of worry he still didn't make things easier for her.

"No! Why would I have that pervert on my mind?" Sango asked putting folding her arms across her chest in a defensive manner. "It's just the way you look at him." Kagome started 'I have a look? Oh, gods since when have I had a look?' "And the way he stares at you." Sango couldn't take this anymore. "Look Kagome that moron would stare at anything with breasts. I'm no different."

'I'm no different from the rest' Sango picked up the cloth from the stone she had laid it on earlier and started wrapping herself. She then walked over towards the brush to put on cloths for the evening.

"Alright, if you say so San...AH!" Kagome let out a scream that with her powers probably woke up the dead. Sango started running back to the Kagome alert and ready to fight while still holding her 'towel' close to her body. Looking around she saw the source of all the commotion, it was just a spider. 'Odd that Kagome can slay some of the most powerful demon lords with one swift arrow shot, and still be scared of a decently sized spider.' Sango then walked up to the sleeping spider and brushed it away from Kagome's side.

"What the hell is going on here?" Inuyasha yelled as he arrived at the springs with Miroku just behind him. A short awkward silence fell over the group finally broken by Kagome yelling at the men while trying to conceal her body. "What do you think you're both doing? Get out now!" She continued screaming even louder than when the spider startled her.

"Geez you try and be nice and this is what you get. Let's just wait until you are in real trouble... stupid girls" Inuyasha grumbled as he started turning and stomping out of the forest. "No, monsters eh? Miroku sighed as he eyed over Sango's barely covered body before he followed Inuyasha out of the clearing.

'Did he just smile at me?' Sango wondered to herself. It was hard for her to remember a time when she felt so exposed in her life.

Kagome and Sango quickly finished putting on decent cloths and then returned to the camp. They didn't have much to say to each other on the way back. Kagome was still red from yelling at Miroku and InuYasha and Sango thoughts instantly started flipping back and forth between Miroku and her family. Even when they all were comfortable around the campfire Sango's head was still in turmoil.

Shippo was lovingly cuddled on Kagome's lap letting her re-adjust his bow. While InuYasha grumbled about being hungry and yelled at for his actions of 'heroism' before. "We should all get some sleep." Miroku stated simply allowing everyone to follow suite as he sat back against a tree. Slowly one by one everyone did. But as Sango laid back she finally made a decision. Having to deal with two things at once was too much trouble. Miroku did not need to waste any more of her time. Content with her decision she drifted off to a melancholy sleep.
