Lost Wings of a Taijiya

S. Hawk: Hello one and all to my Inuyasha fanfic.

Y. Hawk: Let me guess. Sango is in this fic.

S. Hawk: *puppy dog eyes* Sango. *Shakes his head* Err....

Y. Hawk: Nothing. We own nothing.

Chapter 1: flirtation

Sango's POV

It was another day. I can't believe that Houshi actually groped me again. That pervert touched my ass again. He did look sorry afterwards but I'm still mad at him! He will never learn. I can't make him change and that is the bottom line. He is still looking at me. I wonder what he is thinking.

Miroku's POV

It was another day. I just happen to foolishly felt Sango's butt again. I didn't want to offend her but she is too irresistible not to feel. I feel so complete with her but she views me as a lecher. Well, I guess that is how they all see me. I wish I could change but I can't. I can't stop looking at Sango. She is just too beautiful not to be appreciated. I wonder what she is thinking.

Regular POV

The whole Inuyasha gang was traveling down the road. A typical event had passed between Sango and Miroku. The tension between those two was so great that Inuyasha had to scout ahead just to get away from them. Miroku kept staring longingly towards the woman that he couldn't have. He viewed her as his angel. An angel that didn't deserve the pain and anguish placed upon her shoulders. He would have given anything to remove her pain. Miroku had no choice but to apologize profusely for his previous actions.

"Sango, I'm sorry for what I did before. I know that you have heard it before but I mean it every time I say it. I don't know what comes over me but I understand if you cannot forgive me."

"Miroku, I-" Sango couldn't finish her thought. She noticed that Kagome and Shippo was listening in on their conversation. It upsets her when her people make a private discussion into a public event. She felt uncomfortable in this situation and she had to leave it immediately. "I have something to do. I'll be back later. Miroku, we'll continue this talk later. Goodbye my friends." Sango left the road before any of them could respond. She didn't like to open up her feelings to anyone. She wanted to be alone. Her grief and her sadness were something she felt was hers alone. They did not need to help her carry the burden.

Sango's POV

I can't believe that I am traveling with them. They want me to be their friend and I accepted that graciously. I just can't share my feeling with them. They are better off not being burden by me. I can handle the emotions. It will make me stronger. I need to be stronger. I can't let these emotions get to me yet my feelings towards the lecher are making it so difficult. Why do I have to have these feelings? He is kind and caring towards me but he also gropes me. The bastard wants all these random women to bear him a child yet he doesn't ask me. Am I good enough to grope yet not good enough to have a child with? Am I that worthless in your eyes? Damn! Why am I crying? I can't let him get to me. I have to be strong. What is that noise?

I threw my Hiraikotsu [1] at the source of the sound. The person that was following me fell out of the brush, injured. I recognized that person anywhere. The lecher decided to follow me and he was now bleeding for it. "What the hell are you doing here?" He wasn't responding. He didn't move for that fact. I began to worry that I might have killed him. Ironically, I did aim to kill the intruder but I wanted it to miss when I realized it was my friend. I reluctantly examine Miroku to see if he was in fact dead. I was relieved to know that Houshi was still alive. I just knocked the bastard unconscious. He will be angry when he wakes up. I dragged his sorry ass to the hot spring that I was heading towards. He was a lot heavier than he looked. I couldn't leave him in the middle of the forest so I had to suck it up and continue dragging him.

Miroku's POV

Where the hell did she go? I decided to follow her to make sure she was all right. I knew that she was more than capable of handling herself but I wanted her to know that she can depend on me also. I think she went this way to the forest. I better stay close to the brush or some youkai [2] will smell me. I hope that Sango will not notice me and decide to attack. Of course, Sango is the greatest Taijiya [3] in all of feudal Japan. She will not recklessly attack someone unless she knew it was a threat. I believed this until I looked up and saw Hiraikotsu come flying towards me. All I can remember was seeing stars after that.

Sango's POV

Damn that perverted monk. He had to scare me and get his perverted ass kicked by me. I eventually dragged him to the hot spring. He was still bleeding so I had to dress his wounds. The wounds on his head were easily treated. I had to undress him from his robes to fully treat the wounds on his body. It was embarrassing to undress Miroku and I could feel my face become red. I didn't want to blush when I saw his toned body but he is an attractive man. Damn! I can't start having these thoughts. It would make the situation between us even more awkward. If I could, I would dump all the romantic feelings that I have for the pervert and find myself a real gentleman. Who the hell am I kidding? I am a Taijiya. In fact, I am the greatest Taijiya in all of feudal Japan. I am not being arrogant when I say this because the lords of the land have given that title to me. I worked hard to get that title and I am proud of it. Of course, men are intimidated by the fact that a young woman such as myself is stronger than them. This really limits the number of possible suitors for me. If I were more lady-like, I would have a flock of men asking for my hand in marriage. That is what Miroku says at least. What the hell does he actually know? He probably was just trying to get me to bear him a child. Of course, he never actually asked me to do that. Do I look that bad that even the lecher doesn't want to sleep with me? I am just so confused.

Miroku began to stir. I continued to dress his injuries until he was fully conscious. I stopped when he spoke to me.

"What happened?"

"I defended myself against a stalker."

"I'm assuming it was me you are referring to."

"Of course, baka [4]."

"I'm sorry for doing that. I didn't mean to scare you. I was concerned for your well being. You may not believe me but I do care deeply for you. I would give everything that is a part of me so that you will not feel an ounce of pain. You are an angel that has lost her wings. My wingless Taijiya, know always that I will be there for you if you need me."

I was extremely touched by his little speech. I could feel my heart getting ready to burst. I could feel...his hand on my ass. That pervert was only saying those nice things to get into my panties! How can I be so foolish? I am a baka! I kicked Houshi a few times for groping me and then I headed back to camp. I could hear Miroku struggling to get up. I decided that despite the constant groping, he was still my friend and I needed to help him. He better not grope me again or I'll shove Hiraikotsu so far up his ass that it comes out his mouth.

***A/N

[1] Hiraikotsu: a large bone boomerang. It is made from the bone of an extremely large youkai. The weapon itself is around six feet long. Sango is 5' 6" so the weapon is bigger than she is. Sango is very strong to be able to lift this weapon, let alone use it.

[2] Youkai: Demon. This story revolves around supernatural demons if you have never watched the show. Of course, I'm assuming you people have or you wouldn't be reading this story.

[3] Taijiya: Exterminator, Killer, Fighter, etc. These people go around killing youkai for a living. Sango is the greatest of the Taijiya.

[4] Baka: Idiot, Stupid, etc. A person who does something that is less than intelligent. I know that I could have used the other words but it feels good to use a big vocabulary. I say that the more words a person knows, the better it is.

S. Hawk: Chapter 1 is finished.

Y. Hawk: If people review, he might continue writing.

Sango: I'm curious as to what happens so please review.
