Disclaimer: Alright, you got me. I do not own any of the Inuyasha characters. Are you happy? Though I wouldn't mind owning Sesshomaru...hehehe...
I gazed at my true love as he neatly lathered his beautiful silver hair. I had taken a bath earlier and was waiting for Sesshomaru to finish up so we could continue heading back towards his palace. He returned my gaze and smiled lovingly. His smiles always melted my heart. He held out his hand. I didn't know what it meant, but I grasped it, not to disappoint him. I gasped as he pulled me into the water. "What was that for?" I sputtered.
He only smiled and leaned over to gently kiss me. I melted in his arms and returned the kiss. His tongue lightly grazed my upper lip and I obediently let his tongue into my mouth. When he broke the kiss, he still held onto me. I looked at him sadly.
"What's wrong, Sango?" He asked.
I replied by simply kissing him once again. I wanted more love. I needed more. My tongue curled around his fangs, purring as I did so. When I was done, I finally realized that my clothes were sopping wet. "Oh shit!" I muttered.
Sesshomaru chuckled slightly.
"See what you did, Sessh?" I said.
"We can dry them." He stood up and helped me out of the water. Quickly, I stripped off my wet clothes and hung them on the branch of a cherry blossom tree. Sesshomaru got dressed and put the outer layer of his kimono around me. "We can spend the night here." He suggested.
"Alright, I should set up camp." I said, unpacking equipment. Too bad we have all of this stuff and not one change of clothes. I thought.
He nodded, reaching for a bucket. "I'm going for firewood and fresh water." He called over his shoulder as he headed towards the forest.
I was surprised. Was he actually going to let me cook for him? Now that would be a first. I hope he'll try some of the food. It's better than nothing at all or some gutted animal. I shuddered then giggled. It was hard to imagine Sesshomaru eating an innocent forest animal, raw...
How did Sango end up with Sesshomaru?
From the beginning:
"Miroku! Watch out behind-"
I watched in horror as the giant dragon ,tamed by Naraku, grabbed Miroku in it's mouth and chewed. "Miroku, no!" I yelled as I grabbed my boomerang and attacked. I threw it and it cleanly sliced off the dragon's head. The upper half of Miroku was half way down the creature's esophagus, while his lower half was still in the monster's mouth. I screamed at the horrific sight. Miroku was dead, that was that. I knelt down, tears were streaming down my dirty face. Miroku's blood oozed into a puddle mixed with my tears.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, wench." Naraku sarcastically remarked as he made his way towards the corpses and me.
I glared at him. "Damn you Naraku! You have killed everyone that I ever loved! I will make you pay, you monster!" I charged at him carelessly with my boomerang and threw it, completely missing because my eyes were so blurred with tears.
"Kukuku. You are hilarious." Naraku smirked. "To think you of all people could actually defeat me. You pathetic exterminator. I'll tell you what, hand over the last shard of the Shikon Jewel, and I might consider letting you live to become one of my whores."
I gasped. "I would rather die you asshole!" I screamed. "But seeing as how I have to protect this shard, I will fight you alone!." Alone... The word rang in my head. I was alone now. Nobody who cared for me was left. Nobody.
"Kukuku. This will be easy, but I'll give you one last chance, bitch. Die at my hands and I will get the last shard, or give me the shard and live as one of my various whores. Which will it be?"
"You...You...I'll kill you!" I screamed. Blinded with rage, I ran towards him and surprisingly punched him in the face. I watched in puzzlement as a stream of blood trickled down from his lip. I punched again, but this time, in his stomach. He coughed up blood. Why wasn't he attacking or defending himself? I noticed that he wasn't paying any attention to me, but to something behind me instead. I tuned and looked at what it could be. "Kikyo!" I gasped.
Kikyo slowly walked towards Naraku, smiling.
I gaped. What is kikyo doing? I thought. Why the hell is she smiling so kindly towards Naraku? Then it hit me. Kagome was dead now, due to the fact that Naraku killed her. Kagome's soul must have gone into Kikyo!
Naraku smirked. "Hello, Love." He called over. "I'm glad to see that our plan worked and your soul is fully restored."
I gasped. It couldn't be! "Do you mean to say that you two plotted to kill Kagome all along?"
Naraku laughed. "Why yes, we did. Our plan was that Kikyo would distract Inuyasha and bring him into the forest while I killed his wench. Kikyo then killed Inuyasha. Kagura and Kanna took care of the fox child, Kohaku, and the cat demon. I decided that it would be amusing for your love to die in front of your very eyes. The plan was flawless." He laughed.
I gasped and started to tremble. "How could you? I hate you Naraku! You destroyed my life!" Naraku chuckled in response. "I don't care. I only want Kikyo and the Shikon Jewel. That's all."
"Naraku my love, let's just kill her and move on with our lives." Kikyo pouted. "I want to go see your castle." She smiled seductively.
"Alright then." He replied, smirking. Then he looked at me, an evil grin plastered his face. "Are you sure about your foolish decision? I would go with your second choice."
I narrowed my eyes in disgust. "I...I'm not going to hand over the shard, so prepare for a battle!" I knew it wouldn't work. I was not powerful enough. Let alone the fact that I was already injured.
Kikyo started to laugh. "You stupid exterminator! You can't fight Naraku! He is much too strong."
I slumped my shoulders. I could not believe how right she was she was. I gripped my boomerang tightly, frowning at the replica of who used to be like a sister to me. "I can give it a shot! I'll risk my life to protect this shar-" I stopped when I felt a presence behind me. I slowly turned and looked up at the face of Sesshomaru.
"Might I ask what is going on here?" Sesshomaru sounded angry and harsh. He apparently didn't know what had happened. "This is, after all, part of my lands." He was staring at the bloody battle field.
I started to back away from the yokai prince, frightened. "I...Naraku...His plan." I couldn't say it. I couldn't go right out and say that Naraku killed the people who were closest to me.
Sesshomaru raised his perfectly sculped eyebrow. I shifted under his gaze. "What do you mean? Speak clearly woman." He commanded. I tried to avoid those demanding golden eyes of his. I started to shake. I whimpered softly as I remembered Miroku's face. Sesshomaru had a tad bit of curiosity in his eyes. "What is wrong with you?" He asked. The tears started pouring out.
"N-Naraku plotted an evil scheme to kill all of my friends...And then my one true love right before my eyes." I sobbed out. My legs felt like jelly and I collapsed, no longer caring what Sesshomaru thought. I felt him brush past me, leaving me.
"So the rumors I heard were true. Inuyasha has finally died. Stupid hanyou. It's just like him to let himself be killed off so easily. Naraku isn't here though." He said. I looked behind me where Naraku had been standing. He and Kikyo were gone. They probably ran off as soon as they sensed Sesshomaru. I was safe...For now.
"They left." I said. Sesshomaru turned towards me and glared. "Who is 'they'?" he asked. I thought. Oh yeah, he didn't know that Kikyo was involved.
"Kikyo and Naraku." I winced at saying his name. "I want to avenge all of those who I loved. I will kill Naraku." I frowned when I saw Sesshomaru smirk. "You don't think I have a chance, do you? Well, if I don't kill him, who will? I am the one with the last Shikon Jewel shard." Those last two words must have caught his attention because he flinched.
That's right! Thought Sesshomaru. If Naraku completes the Shikon Jewel, Then it will surly lead to destruction and chaos. War scenes filled his head. "You cannot kill Naraku. You are merely a mortal. You must give me that shard." Sesshomaru demanded. I gasped.
"I'm not going to let you have it. How can I trust you? The only reason I pushed myself to stay alive was to protect it. There is no other point to my life." Sesshomaru clenched his fists.
"Then I shall kill you." He gripped the hilt of his sword. I stood up reaching for my weapon.
"I won't let myself die that easily." I wouldn't die. Not yet. Not until Naraku was dead. I stood, picked up my boomerang from the ground, and threatened to throw it at him.
Sesshomaru loosened his grip on the sword and let his arm fall to his side. "Very well, if you are that determined to protect the shard, then I will not kill you. It would be dishonorable. But if you stay out here, you would surly be eaten alive, that is why you are coming with me." I thought for a moment. Sesshomaru is pretty honorable and probably would not kill me, but how could I be sure?
"Why, pray tell, should I really give you my trust?" I asked cautiously. Sesshomaru looked me in the eyes.
"Because I, human, am your last chance." I looked away. He was right. He was my only hope. For now, I would have to trust him, but for how long would I have to deal with this? Until Naraku died.
"Then you have to help me kill Naraku." I said. Sesshomaru got a hint of pride in his tone, just a hint. "I could kill Naraku on my own. You should just stay out of my way, wench."
"Well, I have to avenge my family, friends, and my love! I am going to help, or do it on my own! Your choice!" Sesshomaru growled.
"Fine then, but first, you will need to train." What did he mean by 'train'? "I am going to train you to become stronger, that is unless you really want to face Naraku in your condition." Sesshomaru said as if reading my mind's question.
"Okay, fine! I'll train under you to become stronger." Sesshomaru nodded. "Good human. Now come, we will start to my palace. It is not far from here." Sesshomaru turned and started walking. I followed, hoping this really was the best choice for me.
Yippy! I finished the first chapter! Go me! Well, I'll see you in chapter two!
