Never Thought

Chapter 3

Miroku woke early the next morning to leave. He packed his things and walked out the door, only to run into the old women. "Trying to sneak off?" She asked him with a smile. "You need to chose one of my grand daughters, sonny." She told him. Miroku thought about this long and hard. "I must go on a very dangerous journey. I would hate to take one of your lovely grand daughters some where they could be hurt. Let me instead come back after my journey is over." Miroku said. Always got to have a back up plan. This one just has the benefit of a beautiful wife. Miroku thought.

The women nodded to him "You are right young man. But please choose one of my grand daughters before you leave. They are all being married off as we speak." "I would feel honored if I could have the youngest as my bride." Miroku said with a sparkle in his eye.

The women showed a toothless grin. "Then she shall wait for you to return." The women told him. Miroku waved as he walked away from the mansion. It was time to continue his search for Sango.

Sango had woken earlier the Kouga and began continuing her repairs. Kouga woke with yawn to the sound of a banging hammer. Kouga rolled over trying to cover his ears. Though it didn't help much with his demonic hearing. Kouga rolled out of bed. This was going to be a long day...

Kouga got up and walked outside. Sango was so busy banging on a house that she didn't hear him yell to her. Kouga walked over to the stew pot. It was all ready cold? How early did she get up? Kouga ate the stew even though it was cold. It didn't taste near as good...

That's when he smelt his dear old friend Inu-yasha coming this way, with Kagome. What the hell are they doing here? (Their Sango's friends stupid) Who the hell are you? (I'm your conscious! The names George!) Have I gone crazy? (No...) Then why am I talking to myself? (Because... good question! But that's not the point. I am here to help you make Sango fall in love with you!) I don't need help! (This coming from Mr. Made Her cry! Please you soooo need my help!) No I don't! (Fine then... I'll just bug you) I can't win can I? (No by the way you might wanna stop talking to me before she thinks your crazy.)

Kouga came back to the real world after his nice conversation. That's when he remembered that Inu-trasha was coming this way. Just what he needed! Dog turd to come and ruin his day. Then again it was going to make Sango happy to see her friends. So was it a good day because she was happy or a bad day cause the mutt was going to be here.

Kouga continued in his trail of thought while Inu-yasha and Kagome got closer.

Miroku had traveled to the spot of Naraku's demise to no avail. Sango was no where in sight and none of the surrounding villages had seen her. He remembered this battle as though it was yesterday. He thought he was a goner. He had almost died by the curse in his hand. Luckily enough just as he was about to be consumed by it Inu-yasha had used the backlash wave and saved them all.

Though the poison in his body had stayed for a bit longer. He shouldn't have consumed so many of Naraku's poisons insects. Sango had almost killed him when he revived for worrying her so much. Thank goodness she didn't. He liked his life. With all the wonderful women who wouldn't? Then again Sango didn't like all the women in his life...

But still he had been with them... did that mean he didn't really love her or that he would always be the womanizing monk? What am I thinking of course I could change. I could stop being like I am anytime I want to... So it must be that she becomes jealous easily. Yes... she didn't like sharing me with any body else. Well once I find her and take her home it will be that simple. She'll still fight with me every once in a while... but then she'll come back just like usual. As soon as she comes home I'll go back to my old self. There is no reason I should worry about being forced to keep my promises of marriage with other people. Yes my Sango is the only one for me. Miroku thought as he left the battle field.

Miroku continued his walking until it hit him like a brick. Sango must have gone back to her village. She must have wanted to take care of her family's graves! Don't worry Sango Miroku is on the way!! Miroku thought as his steps began speeding up as he walked toward Sango's far way village.

"Sango!" Cried a happy school girl. "Kagome?" Sango said as she looked at her friend on Inu-yasha back. "It's so good to see you!" Sango said as she was pulled into a hug by her friend. "I've missed you Sango! Are you every planning on coming back?" Kagome asked her as Inu-yasha sniffed around. "What's that fucking wolf doing here?" Inu-yasha growled interrupting the reunion. "Kouga's here?" Kagome questioned her friend. "Yes, he's been staying her." Sango told her. Kagome smiled her secretive smile. "Inu-yasha why don't you go and talk to Kouga or go hunting in the forest for a while. I want to talk to Sango alone." Kagome said. "Feh." Inu-yasha said as he left.

Kagome smiled as he left. "I get it now! Sango are you and Kouga a couple?" She asked her friend with a wink. "N-n-no." Sango said her face a crimson red. Kagome gave her that 'I don't believe you' look. "Well anyway are you coming back to the village?" Kagome asked her. "No, I don't think so. I'd rather not see Miroku again." Sango told Kagome.

Kagome gasped. "That reminds me! Miroku is on his way! He wanted to get you back." Sango stared at her like she was mad. "Miroku is on his way here!" "Yes..." "If he had come back a few days ago I would have gone back but...." Sango trailed off. Kagome nodded. "You don't want him back anymore because of all of his so called 'harmless flirting', right?" Kagome questioned her. Sango only nodded.

Sango and Kagome began walking around the village. "It's looking much better." Kagome told her friend. "Thanks Kouga and I have been working on it." "Kouga's helping you? Wow, I thought he only cared about his own tribe." "Well since he's living and eating here for a while I guess it could be considered payment." "Or maybe he is trying to get you to like him." Kagome suggested. Sango blushed as he friend said that. "He does not." At least I don't think so....

Inu-yasha had been following Kouga's scent to one of the larger huts. I wonder what Kouga's doing here. After Kagome refused him you would think he'd go back to his tribe. Inu-yasha said to himself. Inu-yasha walked straight into the hut. Kouga turned around and bared his fangs, "What do you want mutt?" "What the hell are you doing in a human village Kouga? This just isn't fucking like you!" Inu-yasha told him trying not to yell.

No matter how much he didn't admit it Sango was his friend and he didn't want a damn wolf to mess with her. "It's none of your business you damn mutt." Kouga told him angrily. "If I want to be here, then I will." Inu- yasha stopped glaring at him. He wants to be here. That must mean he... "Oh I see you can't have Kagome so you target her friend." Inu-yasha said rudely. "That's not why I want her!" Kouga yelled and then stopped dead in his tracks. "Shit." He said as he covered his mouth. "I really shouldn't have said that." Kouga said, though it was muffled through his hands.

Inu-yasha stared at Kouga. Why that bastard is trying to get Sango as his mate...? Wait a minute... that's monks trying to get Sango back. But the monk has cheated on her with about every female at the village. Maybe Kouga would be better then the monk. And then he wouldn't try to steal my Kagome. Inu-yasha thought. "Well good luck Kouga." He finally said. "What the hell!?!?" Kouga yelled staring at him. "By the way her ex-lover the monk is on his way to find her and win her back." Inu-yasha told him.

"Why the hell are you telling me this?" Kouga asked while taking a mental not of what Inu-yasha said. "Because that fucking monk is always cheating on Sango plus..." Inu-yasha said. "I didn't like the idjit from the start." Inu-yasha told him as he walked out of his hut.

"So the monk is on his way..." Kouga said aloud as he went deep into thought. Crud, she might actually go back to that monk! (That's why you need my help!) Are you kidding me? (No... should I be?) Never mind... (So might I suggest a nice walk by the river? Perhaps some fishing? That way you'll have time together and....) Why the hell are you helping me? (because Sango is a beautiful human! She must be mine! Err... I mean ours!) Holy shit... my mind is in love with Sango...

(now as I was saying you need to give her flowers and then you gotta kiss her and then...) Shut up!!! I can do this myself. (Oh I know you had Kagome all over you! I mean it was obvious she was madly in love with you. Oh but that damn mutt got her. Face it your love life sucks!) Yeah well so does yours. (no me and the one of the brain cells Lucy have got it going on!) I didn't need to know that. (That's what I'm here for!) Leave me the hell alone! (NEVER Mwhahahaha)

I'm otta here! (You gonna go back to the real word? Good cause me and Lucy have a date... it's gonna be fun!) Too much information! Kouga yelled at his mind. It was definitely time for him to get out of there. Kouga got up and began talking to himself on how he should ask Sango to go fishing with him.

Kagome and Inu-yasha had left with the promise of coming back by the next moon. If she hadn't come back with Miroku or left with Kouga as Kagome put it. That's when her mind started to bug her. Sam must have been aching for a conversation.

(Hi) Hello (so what is your plan to get Kouga to like you?) I haven't really thought about it. I mean I was busy planning! I'm thinking of going fishing tonight. Then smoking some of the fish. (good idea, now just add taking Kouga and it'll be perfect.) That's what Kagome told me! (Great minds think alike.) Fine. (Yes the great legged Kouga is going fishing with us!) Wrong with me! I'm going to block you out! (That's mean!) So what?!? You're always mean to me!

(You can't compare us!) Yes I can! Good night and good bye!!! Sango yelled at Sam before closing her mind to her. "I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask him to come with me." Sango muttered to herself, as she tried to raise the courage to go ask him.

Miroku had been walking for what seemed like ages. He knew that Sango's village was a couple more days away. Unless he made better time then he thought he would. He had come to a village to rest in the night. This time he decided against using his old trick. He remembered how Sango disapproved of it.

Sango... again. She disapproved of so many things I did. I miss her. I will find her and bring her back with me no matter the cost. Miroku thought to himself as he paid to stay in an inn. As he lie down Sango's face came to his mind. Sango why do you haunt me? I am coming for you. Miroku thought to himself as the smile that had been on her face transformed to the look of betrayal she had on the last time she saw him.

Sango must have hated him. But still he couldn't help but feel that his Sango would welcome him with open arms. It was unbearable to see what would happen if she refused him. Some might have called him a coward but still he couldn't stand it if Sango had moved on and loved another. That's why he'd go and win her back. Before she had the chance to fall in love.

Sango had finally gathered the courage she needed as she walked to Kouga's hut. That's when she heard voices. "Hey wanna go fishing... no that doesn't sound right.... Let's go fishing! Okay that sounds even stupider... what am I going to say?" She heard Kouga muttering as he walked back and forth in the hut.

"Hey Kouga do you want to go night fishing?" Sango called to him. Kouga ran out of the hut. "Sure why not." He said trying to act casual. "Kilala you guard the town." Sango told the fire cat as she and Kouga left. "So have you ever gone fishing before Kouga?" she asked him grabbing her wooden pole. "Yes but I've never used a wooden pole."

"What do you use then?" "My claws." Sango nodded. "That makes sense since you are a demon." Sango told him as she continued walking the path. "The rivers the other way." Kouga commented. "We aren't going to the river. We're going to go fishing in the lake." Sango told him with a smile. Oh how he loved her smile.

When they finally made it to the lake the moon was already out. A full moon filled the sky that night. Sango sat some rocks out to hold her pole. That way she didn't need to use her hands. "That seems a lot more convenient." Kouga commented trying to compliment her. "It is. My father taught it to me." Sango told him.

Kouga didn't want to bring her family up again. Last time he made her cry. That was not something he wanted to do ever again. Sango smiled at him. "Don't worry I won't freak out today." She told him with a laugh. Kouga smiled. What a relief.

Sango put the bait on the line and threw it out into the center of the pond. The reflection of the moon rippled as she did so. Kouga took in the moment. The moon making Sango look like a goddess herself. Kouga felt himself go crimson. This wasn't a good time to freak out. Just because they were alone... with no else near... not even Kilala... under a full moon.... So it was a good time to freak out. At least in his eyes.

Sango had too felt herself blushing. She couldn't help it. Kouga's bronze skin seemed to glow under the moon light. She couldn't help but look at him every five seconds. Then she had to turn away so she didn't get caught. She didn't want her poor heart broken twice in less then a week. That just wouldn't be right. The silence was killing her.

Not a word was said between the two. Both trying to think of something to say, something to do. Sango was trying to force herself to talk to no avail of course. She just sat there beside him tongue tied.

Kouga was trying to say something. Anything would work even something stupid. Though being a wolf he decided to follow instinct. "Sango..." He said quietly. Sango turned to ask him what was wrong but she didn't get the chance. Because Kouga had leaned in to kiss her. And she kissed him right back.

End of Chapter 3

Preview for Chapter 4. Sango and Kouga's relationship is heating up. But will it last? Miroku is getting closer by the minute. Is Sango and Kouga's love deep enough to bid farewell to Miroku or is Sango going to return to Miroku like he thinks. Is Miroku even going to make it to the village? Or will he get distracted and end up going back to the grand daughter? Who was the demon earlier? What grudge does he hold against Sango? And why is he taking his rage out on Kouga's tribe? Found out next time in Never Thought.
