Ignited Flame

Chapter 4: These Are My Confessions

DC: I own absolutely nothing.

Last Time:

Sobbing Sango ran back inside past Kurama and Kagome who stared at her confused at her sudden out burst. They didn't know what was going on but Kurama had a faint idea that it involved Hiei.

Sango locked herself in Kagome's room and wept on her bed. She never felt so dirty in her whole life and she had Hiei to thank for that. She continued crying into she fell into a dreamless sleep on her now soaked pillow.

Now


"Sango?" Kagome's mother knocked on the door. "Sango dear, dinner is ready come down."

"Is she coming out?" Kagome asked as she reached the top of the stairs. She looked at her mother who gave a slight shake of her head.

"Kagome, she's been locked in that room all day. I'm really worried about her."

"Don't worry mom I'll talk to her. She probably misses Miroku but I must admit it is weird for her to act like this. I mean one minute she was just fine than the next she's crying." Kagome stared at her door in thought.

"Well let's hope its nothing bad. I'll be downstairs sweetheart." With that Kagome's mother kissed her on her forehead and made a beeline downstairs to the living room where Kurama was sitting with Souta.


Sango's P.O.V

"Sango dear, dinner is ready come down."

I hugged a pillow close to me as I hear the knocks at the door. I felt kind of bad for not answering Kagome's mother but I didn't really trust my voice at the moment. I knew if I spoke it'll crack and I'd be in a teary mess again. I damn myself for being so weak but I just feel so dirty.

I think of Hiei and only hatred comes to mind. Though it was my fault, I should've never given myself to him but I still can't help to feel angry towards him. He used me for his pleasures and he rubbed it in my face. I can't forgive him for that.

It's gonna be hard to avoid him though. He and Kurama are here to protect Kagome from that demon and I'm still with Miroku…oh no I forgot all about him. Now I feel really dirty. Miroku has been nothing but the best for me. How could I have betrayed him like that? What am I to do now? Absolutely nothing… Miroku and me are still together and I won't let Hiei or anybody else ruin that especially now.

"Sango?" I hear Kagome from the other side. Should I tell her?

"Sango let me in. I know something is bothering you so lets talk about it." She's getting persistent. I do need someone to talk to right now. Pushing the pillow away from me I get up to open the door.

"Sango are you ok?" Kagome made her way in taking a seat on her chair that was by her desk.

"No." I answered looking out the window.

"Than tell me what's wrong. I know it has something to do with Hiei." My eyes widen a bit at the sudden comment. Was it that obvious? Maybe Kagome is smarter than what I give her credit for.

"Kagome about two years ago I met Hiei. It was after we fought Naraku when I stole Inuyasha's sword to save Kohaku. I was near a river than he just appeared out of nowhere and it just happened." I'm no longer looking at Kagome anymore but remembering that night two years ago.

"Please don't go."

"And why shouldn't I? I have no interest in staying here."

"I just don't want to be alone anymore."

"And what happened Sango?" Kagome asked looking at me with curiosity written all over her face.

"I'm giving you what you want Sango."

"Everything Kagome. Everything I wanted." I turn to look at Kagome. To say she wasn't in shock would be a lie. She knew what I meant and I was glad I didn't had to explain it any further

"And how do you know what I want?"

"So you lost your virginity with Hiei?" I nodded in response.

"And I was sure that it would be Miroku that you would lose it with. Now thinking about it are you going to tell him and what about Hiei?" She kept pouring out questions. A few hours ago I wasn't sure about the answer to that question anymore but now after talking to Hiei I was sure what to do now.

"No I'm not telling Miroku."

"But Sango eventually you'll-" I caught Kagome off mid sentence.

"I know but right now I just want to keep it my little secret. As for Hiei I want nothing to do with him besides he wants nothing to do with me as well. He just thinks of me as a one-night stand but even though he thought that, that night…meant so much more to me." I could feel myself tear up again but I wasn't going to cry anymore.

What was said is done. I have to move on now and live my life. Now that I have Miroku by my side it should be easier to forget Hiei and I am determined to do it too. Even though his words affected me, I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction that it brought me down.

"Well what are you going to do now that Hiei might end up traveling with us?"

I thought about it for a second. Never imagined that it would happen but Hiei was brought here to protect Kagome. It kind of bothered me a bit that Hiei was going to look after her especially after he just told me that I repulsed him. Tells me that he might care for her more than me, if he did at all cared for me. The thought just made me hate him more and myself as well for thinking that way. Hiei doesn't care about anybody.

"Nothing. Let him travel with us I don't care anymore as long he stays out of my way."

"You wouldn't have kissed me back if you didn't want this."


Hiei's P.O.V

I didn't mean to make my words harsh, they just came out that way and I couldn't stop it. I couldn't let myself be brought down and accepting the woman would mean I accepted to being brought into the humans' emotions and even though I wouldn't admit it openly I didn't want her involved with the likes of me. She was too pure and kind and I'm just a forbidden child who doesn't know how to love or how to accept it.

She'd be better off not knowing me at all. I will admit to myself of course that I am attracted to her. Even though it was two years ago I still couldn't forget her brown eyes, her flowing raven hair, and especially her curvaceous body. Who wouldn't be attracted to that?

Still I can't let her be with someone like me and I can't allow myself to feel something towards her. Now that I'd have to follow the priestess it would be harder to ignore her maybe I'll just watch Sango from the shadows and let Kurama watch the other girl. Damn it, I didn't just think that! This is that damn fool's entire fault. I wouldn't be in this mess if it weren't for Koenma. If only he gave me another mission.

I could handle killing off low class or even high classed demons. Maybe even recover a lost artifact that the idiot had managed to not keep safe but I could not handle babysitting a human girl that practically spends her every waking moment with the woman I spent the night with two years back. Why me? What have I ever done except kill a few worthless beings?


Sango's P.O.V

I wake up bright and early today. I go into the bathroom and take what Kagome calls a shower underneath a weird thing that's shaped like a duck's long neck. After my shower I wrap a towel around myself and walk back into Kagome's room to see her already wearing her normal school uniform.

"Well I'm off for school Sango. If you need any clothes its all in the closet and I'll be back around 2." Kagome said as she sat on her newly made bed slipping on her brown shoes. She pushes her self off and walks out the door leaving me alone.

I walk over to her closet to see what I can wear for the day. I was feeling a bit cold and it wasn't helping that I had small cold-water drops dripping down my back. Finally deciding on a pair ankle fitting jeans and a black t-shirt where the sleeves hanged off the shoulders I pulled them on. Finding a pair of white tennis shows I slipped them on as well and started to dry my hair with my towel. Finally all clean and dressed I make my way downstairs to find Kagome's mother setting a plate in front of Kurama who was graciously thanking her.

"Oh Sango, it's good to see that you're out of that room. Would you like anything to eat?" Kagome's mother looked my way. Kurama also looked in my direction and smiled warmly. I didn't know him but what I can see he seems really nice unlike some one who shall remain nameless.

"No thanks I was just going to take a little walk. I'm not really hungry." I said giving her a smile. I walked over the door ready to make my way out.

"But you haven't eaten a thing since yesterday." I stopped and looked at her.

"I'll grab something on my way. Don't worry I'll be fine." With that I walked out. Standing outside a bit, I took a deep breath than started my mission walking down these long stairs.

"Sango!" Upon hearing my name I stopped mid step and turned to see Kurama trailing down towards me.

"Yes?" I asked once he finally reached me.

"I was wondering if I could join you. It would be better on my conscience if I went with you." He responded. I frowned slightly at the answer. I didn't need a bodyguard. I can perfectly take care of myself. I'm a demon slayer for goodness sake. I fought just as many demons as he had but just thinking he was being nice my face softened and I gave in.

"Yeah sure." So we both continued walking down the stairs and soon we're on the main sidewalk. We walk down the street and make a turn at the corner.

"So where are we walking off to so early in the morning?" Kurama asked after a few moments of silence.

"I just need to get some fresh air that's all." I avoided looking at him. I felt like he was studying me with his eye and if I showed him one ounce of emotion or worry than he'll figure me out.

"Sango I want to let you know that Hiei isn't so bad once you get to know him. I'm sorry that he attacked you like that." Oh believe me I know him all right and he's bad. Besides what's it to Kurama anyways?

"Yeah sure." I simply responded continuing my track.

"I'm guessing you met Hiei two years back when he sneaked into the Feudal Era." That made me stop. I turned to him and looked at him with slightly widened eyes.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"Let's go eat and we can talk about that." Not having a choice in the matter I silently agreed. Kurama gently grabbed my hand and led towards a restaurant that was just so coincidently across the street.


Hiei's P.O.V

This is boring. Watching a human was worse than I have ever imagined it to be. All the wretched woman does is sit on her lazy butt and listen to some old hag ramble all day. What's worse is that after all that is done she doesn't go home. No she hangs with even more pathetic women. Now I'm not one to complain but she's pushing it.

"Kagome, you know Hojo has been wanting to see you?" One girl mentioned. I almost laughed at the name but kept quiet and settled with an amused smirk.

"Yeah we're glad that you finally got over that terrible flu." Another girl said. I visibly saw the priestess cringe. I never knew she was sick to begin with but maybe its just an excuse so she could go to the Feudal Era.

"Thanks guys but I better get going. I have a friend at home and I don't want to keep her waiting." Finally and to think she would never go home.

"What? Is this friend like more important than us? Kagome we haven't seen you in forever!" The first girl said. I wanted to punch her lights out. I wanted the woman to go home not stay with her friends and fantasize about boys with names like Hobo.

"It's not like that. She's been home all day. I just want to show her around."

"Well than we'll see you later than." The two girls waved goodbye and walked off leaving the reincarnated priestess by herself. Deciding to make my mark I jumped off my tree branch and landed behind her.

"You know what? You need new friends." I folded my across my chest.

"Yeah well you need a new attitude. What are you doing following me?" I rolled my eyes at the question.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm watching you that way your defenseless self won't get kidnapped." I smirked satisfied to see steam come out from the women's ears. I don't know what it was but I enjoyed peeving women especially the ones that are easy to tick off.

"Hiei you're a jerk! And I'm not just talking about your attitude but what you did to Sango!" My smirk disappeared and it was replaced with a frown.

"You know nothing of that. So I suggest you keep your mouth shut about that." Now I was the one ticked. The wretched wench, who hell did she think she was? It wasn't like I forced Sango to sleep with me…. ok maybe I did but she could've stopped me.

"I know enough. Why did you leave her like that?" I clenched my fist turning my back on her.

"You wouldn't understand. I'll meet you back at the shrine." With that I ran off leaving the girl behind.


Sango's P.O.V

"So you and Hiei?" I nodded. I ended up telling Kurama everything that happened between Hiei and me of course I left out all the juicy details. I also told him about my relationship with Miroku.

"Now I get everything. Well don't worry your secret is safe with me." Our waiter came back and placed the bill on the table. Kurama grabbed it before I could even look at it.

"Are we ready to go back?" I nodded getting out from my seat. Kurama placed a few bills on the table and we both walked out the restaurant. Kurama offered me his arm and I accepted by wrapping mine around his feeling more comfortable with Kurama than I did before. We both walked back to the shrine together.


A/N: Ok I'm still alive and I decided to update because I am so tired of NOT seeing any Hiei/Sango fics. Well hope you guys like and I'll try to update A.S.A.P. Thanks to those who reviewed they meant the world to me so keep it up! Oh and before I forget no this is not a Kurama/Sango fic nor a Hiei/Kagome.
