AN: I don't know how I'm gonna write this chapter. My muses are gone, I can't find them! Oh well, they can help some other time! I was very surprised at how many reviews I got! I love you all!!! But if I had more reviewers, I'd be happier! ::wink, wink, nudge, nudge::
Disclaimer: Check Chapter 1, I haven't changed it since then, but if I do get to owning these people, I'll tell ya!
A Mistake Gone Right
Chapter 3: Enter Sango
----The next day!----
Kagome's injuries had healed up to the point where she could move around without being in pain so they all agreed to leave that day...well, not everyone.
"You're not healed yet, wench!"
"I'm healed enough, let's just go!"
"We can't go now because you're too weak right now! Besides, you would slow us down in your condition!"
"I'm NOT too weak, I'm perfectly fine, Inuyasha!"
"You ARE too weak!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am NOT!" yelled Kagome as she stomped out of the room, making sure to 'accidentally' step on Inuyasha's foot.
"Ow! Get back here wench!" he yelled after her. But she had already gone down the hall. Inuyasha sighed and motioned for Miroku to follow him. He complied and they walked down the hall looking for Kagome. Then Inuyasha saw Kaede at the front desk, like usual.
"Oi, Kaede!" he yelled, getting her attention, "Have you seen Kagome?"
Kaede nodded, "Ay, she went out into the village." Inuyasha ran out the door with Miroku following.
"Inuyasha, don't you think we should give her some time?" questioned Miroku.
"No, she's still wounded, she shouldn't be up. What if that guy found her again?"
Miroku was surprised at the concern in Inuyasha's voice, so he just followed along. Inuyasha stopped and sniffed the air.
"She's this way," he stated and began running in that direction. Miroku sighed and ran after him. 'Inuyasha's changed since he met Kagome...sort of. He seems to care more anyway.' After a couple minutes of running, Inuyasha finally slowed down and came to a halt in front of an old abandoned house. Hesitantly, he went inside followed by a wary Miroku. The place looked like it had been uncared for for about a decade. There was dust and cobwebs everywhere. There were upturned tables and chairs littering the front room. Inuyasha walked around this and went down a hall. He was about to pass a door when he heard something inside. As silently as he could, he slipped inside and left Miroku to wait outside the door.
"What do you want?" asked Kagome who was currently kneeling down in front of an alter in a praying position. The alter looked old, but it also looked like the only well-kept thing in the house.
"I wanted to check on you," explained Inuyasha.
"I don't need you to check on me, I've been able to take care of myself for 10 years."
Inuyasha knelt down beside her which caused her to peek through one eye at him.
"If you really wanna go today, we can," he said just loud enough for her to hear. She cracked open both eyes and turned her head toward him.
"I was just thinking that it would be better to leave sooner rather than later because you and Miroku had to have been on an important journey to be walking through a town like Tenka. I didn't want you to be late for anything." Inuyasha's mouth formed an 'oh' in understanding. "Where were you going?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Miroku and I were traveling to the kingdom of Yamakaji. Don't worry about us being late. We're only going because my father wanted me to meet some princess or something," explained Inuyasha. He looked over at Kagome who seemed to look crestfallen but her expression was quickly replaced with a smile.
"Okay, but I do feel fine so we could leave now if you want."
"All right, we'll go then," he said getting up. He briskly walked out of the door with Kagome behind him. Noticing Miroku was leaned against a wall with his eyes closed, Inuyasha called back. "Oi, monk, hurry up, will ya?" Miroku opened his eyes and saw the two retreating figures and hurried to catch up with them. The exited the house and walked in silence to the inn they were staying that...until Miroku decided to speak.
"Kagome, why did you go to that abandoned house to pray?"
Kagome stopped walking abruptly and the other two turned towards her. She lowered her head so her bangs covered her eyes.
"That was my home...before...before my...parents and brother...before they were...were killed," she said with great difficulty. She had never talked at all about her past with anybody and she had never planned to. But here she was, talking about her family to people she had only met two ago. Had it only been two days? It seemed like forever to her. Her thoughts were put to a stop as she heard someone calling her.
"Oi, wench! Hello!? Earth to Kagome!?" shouted Inuyasha directly in her face. She shook off her thoughts and took a step back.
"Don't call me wench!"
"Feh! I'll call you whatever I want, wench!"
Kagome felt her blood boil. How she wanted to punch Inuyasha right now. And that's exactly what she did. She smirked and drew back her right fist. She punched him in the stomach and began walking away, leaving Inuyasha doubled over in pain. She reached the inn without the guys catching up to her. She guessed Inuyasha was still in too much pain to run.
"Hello Kaede!" said a cheerful Kagome as entered the inn.
"Hello dear!" was Kaede's response. "What has gotten ye in such a mood, child?" she asked curiously.
Kagome only smiled more and said, "I think Inuyasha is having stomach pains." And with that, she skipped down the hall back to their room. 'If they don't come back soon, I'll go look for them.'
----Inuyasha' POV----
After Kagome had punched him, he doubled over in pain. He hadn't realized how strong she was. No wonder she was up and about after only 2 days of injuries. Miroku patted him on the back.
"Inuyasha, I didn't think you would cry if you ever had skin contact with a female," said Miroku.
"Monk, you have 3 seconds before I kill you," Inuyasha stated between gritted teeth.
"Now is that any way to treat your cousin and best friend?" asked a smiling Miroku.
"3," Inuyasha started. Miroku still didn't move, so he continued counting. "2..." And with that Miroku was racing through the streets of Tenka with a goofy smile on his face.
Inuyasha didn't bother to count to '1' as he chased after Miroku. He saw Miroku run into a girl and fall down on top of her. He caught up with them.
"Get off of the ground, monk...and her," he added while pointing at her.
----Miroku's POV----
He was running wildly through the streets when he saw a girl that looked to be about 17 years old standing there, petting a very large cat youkai. She didn't see him coming and he couldn't stop in time. He ran smack dab into her and fell down, bringing her down beneath him. He studied her features. She had long black hair in a high ponytail and stunning brown eyes, which had purple eyeliner on top. She was wearing the tight black outfit of a demon exterminator and she had a very large boomerang on her back.
"Get off the ground, monk...and her," he heard Inuyasha say.
----Sango's POV----
(AN: Yes, I know, there's 3 POV's here. It's just to make it interesting...and to make it longer! Hehe, but it is interesting!)
She was just standing there, petting Kirara, when someone ran full-force into her and landed on top of her. She looked at the disturbance and the first thing she noticed were his sparkling violet eyes. She then took in the rest of him. He had black hair pulled into a low ponytail at the nape of his neck. She wanted to see what he was wearing, but she couldn't look down from her position. She was about to tell him to get off her when someone else did.
"Get off the ground, monk...and her." She looked past the 'monk' to a man, no hanyou, with long silver hair and amber eyes. He was wearing royal clothes, and if he knew the 'monk' on top of her, then the 'monk' had to be a royal too! She quickly pushed him off of her and stood up. As she was brushing herself off, she heard someone clear their throat. She turned and saw the 'monk'.
"Yes?" she asked as politely as she could. She did not want to anger a royal.
"My name is Miroku, and what might yours be, lovely lady?" he asked as innocently as possible. Inuyasha scoffed at his friend's antics.
"I-I'm Sango," she said, blushing. 'Lovely lady? That's a first!'
"Hmmm, Sango. Such a lovely name. Sango, I have a question to ask of you."
"Y-yes?" she asked, her blush deepening.
He grabbed her hands in his. "Sango, would you do the honor of bearing my child?"
She froze for a second in order to register what had just happened. 'B-bear h-his CHILD!?' She took her hands from him roughly and pulled her right one back and slapped him as hard as she could. He rubbed the red handprint she had made and sighed. 'It was worth a shot.'
"Inuyasha? Miroku? Where are you guys?" someone shouted as they made their way toward the group. "Oh, there you ar-" Kagome stopped in mid-sentence, looking at the girl that was with them with shock. She noticed the girl was staring at her in much the same way.
"Ah, Kagome! This is Sa-" started Miroku but was interrupted by Kagome.
"Sango?" she asked quietly, as if she were afraid it were a dream.
"K-Kagome!?" asked Sango incredulously. Then they both smiled huge and tightly embraced each other. They were so overjoyed that they began crying.
"Oh Sango, I didn't think I would ever see you again!" said Kagome through her tears.
"I thought so too! I'm so shocked, Kagome!" said Sango through her own tears. Inuyasha and Miroku only looked on curiously. Inuyasha cleared his throat, expecting to grab the hugging girls' attention. When they didn't look his way, he cleared his throat louder. Still, they didn't seem to notice. He stomped over to them and threw his hands in the air.
"AHEM!" he shouted in their ears. They flinched.
"What do you want?" asked Kagome rather harshly. She hadn't seen Sango in 10 years and Inuyasha was interrupting them!
"I just wanna know what's going on!" he said, equally harsh.
Kagome sighed. She didn't really want to explain anything right now. She just wanted to catch up with Sango. She opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by a growl from Kirara who seemed to have been forgotten in the excitement.
"Kirara!!" Kagome shouted as she ran over to the huge youkai and hugged it (AN: I honestly don't know if Kirara is male or female, so I'm referring to him/her as 'it'. But if you do know, please tell me!) around the neck. At first the youkai only looked quizzically at her, but then it began licking her face.
"Aw, come on, Kirara, quit it!" Kagome said while laughing. It stopped and Kagome stood up, wiping her face with her sleeve as best she could.
"Well? Are ya gonna tell me or not?" asked an impatient Inuyasha.
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Yes, I'll tell you. But first, can we go back to the inn?"
"Feh! Fine, wench!" said Inuyasha as he stomped off in the direction of the inn.
"Well, come on, ladies!" Miroku said with a smile as he turned to follow in Inuyasha's wake.
The girls looked at each other and shrugged, following the boys. Kirara followed quietly behind as the girls talked about what's been going on in their life.
By the time they got to the inn, Kagome had told Sango of how she came to meet up with Inuyasha and Miroku and Sango had told Kagome of what happened since she moved.
"Well, after we moved, things were fine. I still missed you and didn't really find many friends. It was even harder since we had moved into a demon exterminator village."
"A demon exterminator village?" Kagome repeated.
Sango nodded. "Yes, and not a lot of people liked me because I was new to exterminating, but I got the hang of it rather quickly. They didn't like that I was that talented since I was a girl. My father and I and some others were called upon when there was a demon to be exterminated. I was very strong. But one day, a numerous amount of demons attacked our village and killed everyone. I was the only survivor."
"Oh Sango, I'm so sorry," said Kagome silently.
"Don't be, Kagome. It wasn't your fault. Besides, they're in a better place and they're with your family. You know how our families were such great friends," Sango said with a smile. Kagome didn't really know how, but Sango always seemed to cheer her up. She smiled back and they reached the inn where the guys were waiting.
"Hurry up!" shouted Inuyasha as he and Miroku walked inside. Kagome and Sango were about to enter when Kirara growled again.
"Oh, come on, Kirara, you can come in!" said Sango. Kirara transformed into her small form and jumped into Sango's open arms. They then entered the inn and went to the room.
"What took you so long?" asked Inuyasha from his seat on the bed as soon as they stepped foot into the room. "And where's the big cat youkai?" he asked inquisitively. Kirara meowed and jumped on Inuyasha's head.
"Oh, so you can transform, huh? That's a pretty neat trick," he said as he picked Kirara off of his head and set it in his lap. He pet it and it purred in response. (AN: I'm really sick of typing 'it' instead of he/she. ::sigh:: Someone, please, tell me if it's a girl or guy, it's killing me!!)
"So tell us of how you two know each other," said Miroku, sitting on the bed next to Inuyasha.
"Well, we were best friends until we were 6. And that's when her family moved," Kagome said simply. "And we haven't seen each other since then until now."
"Why couldn't you tell us that out there?" asked Inuyasha.
Kagome shrugged, and then an idea came to her mind. "Well, I wanted to ask if Sango could come with us!" she exclaimed.
"You did?" questioned Sango, Inuyasha, and Miroku at the same time. Sango's tone was filled with curiosity, Inuyasha's with anger, and Miroku's with hope. (AN: You should all know why Miroku is hopeful that Sango can come. If not, then...well...you probably don't watch the show too often.)
"Yes, I did," stated Kagome.
"No, we already had to think of a new identity for you, it would just be harder with her! No way!" shouted Inuyasha.
"What if we don't change her identity?" asked Miroku.
"What, we're just gonna say she's Kagome's demon exterminator friend?" he asked incredulously. They all nodded. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and turned to face the 3 hopeful faces. He looked down at Kirara who seemed to look hopeful as well.
"Feh! Fine, but she better not get in the way!" said Inuyasha as he crossed his arms over his chest and looked away.
Shouts of joy were heard as Kagome and Sango hugged each other and jumped up and down with joy. And then Sango stopped.
"Wait, you have a new identity?" Sango questioned Kagome.
Kagome nodded. "I'm Lady Kaitou Hitoride from the far off land of Fumounochi!" she exclaimed. Sango sweat dropped.
"Wasn't that the name of your invisible friend? And isn't that where she was from?" Sango asked.
Kagome sweat dropped. "Well...uh...yeah, but it's a good name!" Everyone fell down, anime style. As they got up, Inuyasha said sarcastically, "Wow, great imagination, Kagome."
Kagome smiled. With her best friend traveling with her, things would be perfect! Sango could hook up with Miroku and Kagome could have Inu-hunk all to her...WAIT! What was she thinking!? 'Oh well, it'll still be fun,' she thought as she looked around at her traveling companions. 'Really fun!'
AN: Well, Sango came in! I tried to write is as best as I could, but I haven't seen my muses, Hinote and Kasai, since my first chapter. I think they went on vacation and took my brain with them!
