My friend the church beach trip introduced this song 2 me & it reminded me SO much of Sango that I had 2 write this fic!

DISCLAIMER: If I owned Inuyasha, there would be a light-brown haired 13 year old running around with Sesshomaru. Get the picture?

Don't Stop Dancing

At times life is wicked & I just can't see the light

Her brown eyes gazed the stars.

A silver lining sometimes isn't enough to make some wrongs seem right

'So many of them…' she thought. 'So many memories.'

Whatever life brings

She had been teamed with people she would have never known… if it hadn't happened a week ago.

I've been through everything

That terrible day her village was slaughtered. A boy stood amongst them, his innocent brown eyes gazing upon them all.

And now I'm on my knees again

But he was no longer innocent. She knew he wasn't, & that he could never be. Yet, that's the only thing she wished for.

But I know I must go on

Heh, she laughed at herself. Look at how pathetic she was being. How must she look to the others? How must she look in her father's eyes?

Although I hurt I must be strong

Weak. But…

Because inside I know that many feel this way

There were friends to help her stand up again.

Children don't stop dancing

Kagome & Shippo…

Believe you can fly away

Miroku & Inuyasha. All of them…

Away

But how could she trust them?

At times life's unfair & you know it's plain to see

Why wouldn't she? They had helped her. Worried about her.

Hey God, I'm just a dot in this world

Have you forgot about me?

No one else had. No one else could. Except him.

Whatever life brings

Could he heal her wounds or make them deeper?

I've been through everything

He… couldn't do anything. Nothing at all. He… he was gone.

& Now I'm on my knees again

Her eyes began to water as she laid her head into her knees, realizing the cold hard truth.

But I know I must go on

Why didn't she just follow? She would be much happier, right? Everything she wanted was there…

Although I hurt I must be strong

Suddenly, she felt arms around her.

"I'm sorry, Sango. Please… don't cry. You're so much prettier when you don't."

Because inside I know that many feel this way

Her brown eyes flashed open.

Am I hiding in the shadows?

"I'm… not crying," she lied.

Forget the pain & forget the sorrows

"It's okay to cry if it hurts, Sango," he said. "But don't cry on your own shoulder."

But I know I must go on

She thought about what he said.

Although I hurt I must be strong

He couldn't possibly understand. She didn't want to trust anyone. She couldn't.

Because inside I know that many feel this way

She turned around, her eyes burning with pain & anger.

Children don't stop dancing

But the anger faded away as brown burned into deep blue eyes.

Believe you can fly away

She accepted the kiss.

Away

& as his lips touched hers, she realized something…

Am I hiding in the shadows?

Everything she wanted. It was there…

Are we hiding in the shadows?

But everything she needed was here

Ooh... I gotta get 2 class but I hope u liked the fic! R&R pleaz & NO FLAMES! & if u want more fics... chek the pf!
