Maybe I will
Sango went and looked for Kagome. She had finally got Shippo to take a nap and Kirara promised to keep an eye on him while she went to find Kagome. She was curious about the visitor that Kagome had. Kagome wasn't in her room or the hot springs so Sango returned to the garden to find Kagome staring into space under the tree where she had left her with the lady. She didn't even blink when I approached her. She must really be lost in thought. "Kagome are you ok?"
Kagome jumped as Sango started speaking. "I'm sorry Sango I had a lot on my mind."
"Does it have anything to do with your visitor?" Sango sat down beside Kagome.
"Everything. That was Lady Ghanna and she is Koga's mother. She told me that he petitioned Lord Sesshomaru to be my mate." Kagome turned her head and looked to Sango to gauge her reaction.
"So Koga is the Northern Prince that wants to mate you. Well at least you know him." Sango looked down at the ground. I don't know if anybody will petition to marry me.
Kagome looked over at Sango in shock. "How can Koga be the prince of the North. Surely he would have told us that little bit of information."
Sango smiled at Kagome then looked back to the ground. "If Lady Ghanna is his mother he is. For I know for certain that she is the Lady of the Northern Lands."
Kagome starts frowning the stares at a spot of the garden that Sango couldn't see. "How do you know that?"
Sango laughed at her friend then. "Kagome it is my job to know these things. And you know I take my job very seriously."
"I'm sorry for questioning you Sango. It just slipped my mind for a little while there." Kagome smiled at her friend then turned her body so that she was facing her. "Sango why would everyone keep this from me?"
"I guess they had their reasons. You will have to ask them. So Koga wants to mate you. What do you think about that?" Sango could tell her question didn't rest well with Kagome.
"Koga wants to mate me for love if him and his mother can be trusted. Ghanna told me about all the hardships of living in a pack and some of my duties. I just don't know yet what to think about the whole Koga and me thing." Kagome dropped her eyes back to the ground.
Sango put her finger under Kagome's face and lifted her head up. "So what is holding you back from a decision?"
"Well for most of my time here I had always thought that it would be Inuyasha that I mated. Now I might have to mate Koga. Sango I don't know what to do." Kagome wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Kagome I know you have been going through a lot just like I have. Neither one of us expected to be married in a weeks time. We have a quest to finish and guys we are sweet on. But Kagome I have to tell you something and I don't want you to get mad about what I am going to say to you. Do you promise?" Sango waited for her reply before she continued. "If I were you and I had a hope of happiness with Koga I would take it."
Kagome looked up in shock at her friend that she considered her sister. "Why do you say that?"
Sango sighed I guess I am going to have to tell her everything. "When you return to your time for a few days Inuyasha is nowhere to be found until it is time for you to return. Then after he left again Shippo told Miroku and me that he smelled of death and clay. He kept the smell on him even after he bathed. According to Shippo the only way that could happen was if he was mated to the maker of the scent and we both know who smells that way. I followed him last week to see if what Shippo said was true and you have to believe me Kagome. I saw him and Kikyo together making love by a river. I was sick for two days. I wanted to tell you but he found out about my spying on him and he threatened to harm you, Miroku, Shippo and Kirara if I ever told you. Kagome I didn't know what to do. I didn't want my only family left to be harmed if I spoke. I knew he was serious and I just couldn't take that chance. I don't know what would happen if anything happened to someone else I loved. I had already lost one family and didn't want to loose this one." Sango bowed her head and her body shook from the force of her sorrow.
Kagome was in shock. Inuyasha was truly mated to Kikyo. He threatened herself and her family. He was so going to pay the next time she saw him. No one threatened her family and got away with it. Kagome pulled Sango to her and they cried in each others arms.
When they had settled down and pulled away from each other Sango looked at Kagome "So your not mad at me then?"
"Sango, How could I be mad at you. It was Inuyasha's fault and he is the one who will feel my anger the first chance I get." Kagome laid down on the grass and looked up at the sky through the leaves on the tree.
Sango laid down beside her. "So have you made your decision yet about Koga?"
"I am starting to lean in his direction more and more." Kagome smiled and turned to face Sango.
"Besides I seem to remember a conversation we had once about his hair. I would do it just to find out what he looks like with it down." Sango smiled as Kagome's face started to turn a light pink.
"Do you know that his mother doesn't even know what he looks like with it down?" Kagome could feel her friends body shaking with humor.
"You asked her?" Sango held her hand over her mouth to try and help stop her from laughing so hard.
Kagome started laughing with Sango then. "Of course I did. She just couldn't tell me."
Sango sat up and stared at Kagome in the eyes again. "That reminds me of another conversation we had about that fur around his waist. Please tell me that you didn't ask her if it was part of his body or a skirt."
Kagome smirked at Sango "I knew there was something else I wanted to ask her."
"I am sorry that I reminded you of that. But when you find out you have got to tell me the answer." Sango laughed some more as Kagome's face was now turning bright red.
"Maybe I will and maybe I won't." Kagome smiled evilly at Sango "Now that is enough about me and Koga. After Shippo is asleep for the night we are going to talk about you and Miroku." Now it was Kagome's turn to laugh as Sango's face turned red.
