He SOOOO doesn't deserve us! Eriste: I don't appreciate you mentioning him in my presence huffs he needs to be covered in honey and tied to a fire anthill...and then covered in napalm...that's what he deserves...fine on with the story since I know you're all anxiously awaiting it...since my story is sooo much more interesting than my life...

Chapter 8 RECAP Sango moaned so loud it sounded like she was screaming, and Inuyasha bit her neck, marking her for all to see as his mate. END RECAP Sango stirred in her stupor, realizing that she was aching in two totally different places, her neck and her...Oh dear, what have I done! I-I mated w- w-with Inuyasha! she twitched, trying to readjust the weight she just noticed was covering her, realizing who it was and blushing fiercely. Inuyasha murmured unintelligibly, stirring in his slight nap. Sango poked him in the arm, trying to encourage him to get off of her so she could see what they had done and figure out why her neck was throbbing. He lifted his muscular upper body off of her and smiled at her. He ran a finger down the fang marks on her neck and she shivered and whimpered.
"Sango, are you okay?" Inuyasha questioned, concerned that he may have damaged her beyond repair.
"Inuyasha, why does my neck hurt?" she asked, but then blushed suddenly remembering what happened when Inuyasha took her over that shimmering edge. She gasped and raised her hand to her neck and ran anxious fingers along the marks. Sango looked up at her mate with wide, surprised eyes. Inuyasha felt a little uncomfortable, and showed by squirming.
"Sango, are you okay?" he asked again. He was a bit worried that she might regret what they had just done as most humans, especially demon hunters, would.
"I'd be better if you would get of me so I can breathe." She took a deep breath when he moved. "Other than my neck and a certain other place being a little sore, I'm perfectly fine. Why do you ask?" she peered up at him, admiring his lovely body.
"Well, considering what we just did, and the fact that I'm a half- demon, I thought you might be having regrets." He mumbled, turning slightly pink. Sango smiled up at him in a sly manner. "Regrets? Why would I regret making love to the person I love, even if he happens to be a half demon?" Inuyasha smiled down at her, then glanced at the damage he caused in the two very different spots.
"Um, Sango, my dear, you're bleeding from..."Sango followed his gaze and blushed.
"Um, yes, well, I'm told that happens the first time a female...yes well, maybe I should head over to the hot springs." She stood up before realizing she was completely nude. Inuyasha laughed at her hurried attempts to cover herself, when he smelled Kagome's blood in the night air. He stopped laughing and stood, taking a deep breath. When he realized what had happened, since he smelled Miroku's scent as well, he fell down laughing, scaring the partially dressed Sango.
"Inuyasha, what are you laughing at?" she demanded of her lover.
"Well, if my guess is right, you wouldn't be the only female at the hot springs."
"What in Kami-sama's name do you mean?"
"Well, I do believe that Kagome and Miroku mated, and by the fact that I can smell Kagome's blood in the air, it was her first time and she probably went to the hot springs to clean up. Shall we go see if I'm correct?" Acting the gentleman, Inuyasha offered Sango his arm, and Sango, laughing, took it. And off to the hot springs they went.

.................At The Hot Springs....................
"Well, so far, I see no sign of the other two." Inuyasha whispered.
"Why are you whispering?" Sango whispered back
"So that we can sneak up on them if they are there." Inuyasha explained, still whispering. They rounded the last corner in the path and all that stood between them and discovering a very naked Kagome and Miroku making out in the water was a few bushes. Inuyasha had to stifle his laughter. Sango poked him in the side.
"What's so funny?" she asked him.
"Kagome and Miroku are making out in the water just past these bushes. I think we should scare them." He chuckled at the thought of Kagome and Miroku's faces when he and Sango burst in on them in the water. Sango poked him the arm, reminding him to be quiet, but she was having a hard time of it herself, keeping quiet that is. The idea was just too funny.
"Okay, Inuyasha, here's what we should do. We should quietly sneak up on them, getting as close as we can before they notice us, hopefully we'll be in the water before they see or hear us, and then we splash them with as much water as we can. Does that sound like a good plan to you?" she giggled and ran her hand up his nude chest, eyes widening when she saw how violently he shivered.
"That sounds like the perfect plan, Sango." Inuyasha responded, eyes blazing and voice husky. What the two lovers didn't realize is that their two friends had overheard their plotting session and knew what was coming. They had a little surprise of their own up their sleeves.
