Last chapter:
Inuyasha said, and slid the door open as he walked out of the room. He stood on the wooden floor as he breathed in the night air. In doing so, he picked up the familiar scent of the dark figure coming in through the gate of the fence of the inn. It was Sango. She was looking at the ground, every one of her breaths sounding like a sigh. She finally looked up to See Inuyasha watching her every step. She froze for a second, and looked down, not knowing what to say. Inuyasha just stared at her, his arms crossed, leaning against a beam of the inn.
Secret Lovers: Chapter two
The two just stood there, staring at each other. All was silent except for the light rain, turning heavier by the minute, hitting the roof. Inuyasha's voice filled the silence a few minutes later.
- Come here, you're going to catch a cold there...
- O-okay...
Sango replied nervously unable to meet Inuyasha's gaze as she made her way under the roof of the house, and slipped off her sandals as she climbed up on the wooden floor. Sango turned to Inuyasha, but continued to avoid his gaze, as she started speaking.
- Inuyasha, I'm sorry I did that, I don't know what came over me, I won't do it again...
She said all in one breath, as if she had practiced what she was going to say.
- ...Come in with me.
He started walking over to the door, reaching out his hand to slide the door open, but Sango tried to stop him. She took his wrist that was almost at the door, and finally looked into his eyes. She pulled away quickly, looking down again, her cheeks showing a hint of pink.
- I-is Kagome angry?
- Yeah, she is.
Sango looked guiltily down at the floor as Inuyasha slid the door open, and led Sango in. Upon seeing Sango, Kagome turned her head from the doorway, and looked at the floor, a frown on her face. Inuyasha and Sango went over to Miroku, and Shippo, sitting down with them. Shippo walked up to Sango, and said,
- Sango, you're back!
- I was going to go get you if you took any longer.
Miroku said.
- Why would you have to? She can defend herself just fine.
Kagome said a matter-of-factly.
-... Anyways, Sango, we want to know why you did what you did this afternoon. Why did you hit Kagome?
Inuyasha asked Sango, ignoring Kagome, but Kagome spoke up again.
-Yeah, why?
-Inuyasha... I-I...
-Come on Sango, why did you hit me for no reason whatsoever? Did you do it for the fun of it? Was that it? What right did you have!
Kagome broke into a yell, standing up. Her cheeks flared up with anger, and glared at Sango.
- If you want to hit your companions, then maybe you shouldn't in this group with us!
- Kagome, shut up! I've had enough of that. Now go home. I'll come to pick you up when I'm ready to.
-What! Why! What did I do?
- Just go, okay? I want to talk to Sango, Alone. Miroku and Shippo will go with you.
Inuyasha said, insistently. Miroku sighed, and knew better to argue with Inuyasha. He stood up, and put an arm around Kagome's shoulders, as he started to lead the girl away, who was too angry to speak. Shippo jumped up on her shoulder as Miroku opened the door, and walked out of the inn, closing the door behind him. When all was silent, Inuyasha looked back at Sango, who was looking down silently at the ground. Sango felt like she was being pierced by Inuyasha's amber eyes, herself being frozen to the spot she was in.
- Now, Sango. Now that she's gone... Sango, tell me now. Why did you strike Kagome?
- I-Inuyasha, I don't care that she's gone... Y-you're the person I didn't want to tell why...
Sango said, stammering.
- What? Why wouldn't you want to tell me?
Inuyasha asked, tilting his head to the side a bit.
- I... Just don't...
Sango said, avoiding Inuyasha's confused look.
- Sango, it's alright, tell me.
- I can't. It's a stupid reason. It's better you don't know, please stop asking.
- But I want to know!
Inuyasha said, all this confusion starting to get on his nerves.
- Do... You promise that no matter what I say that you'll still be my friend?
- Of course Sango. Just say it. Why did you hit Kagome?
- I-it's... B-because...
Sango looked down, her face turning slightly pink.
- For god's sake Sango! Just spit it out! Why did you hit the girl!
Inuyasha almost yelled, being fed up with Sango's shyness.
'She isn't normally like this, she's never afraid of saying anything...'
He thought.
- It's because I... Have feelings for you, alright!
Sango yelled back, Inuyasha, almost knocking him back.
- I-I did it because she was Kagome was being stupid! She was hurting you for something so damn stupid! I hate seeing you being controlled by a wimpy girl like that! I did it because... Because... I love you...
She said, building up in courage. Her face was turning scarlet, blushing deeper than ever before. Inuyasha's eyes were wide open, and his arms that were supporting him buckled, and he fell on his back, trying to take in what Sango had just said.
'She... Loves me?'
Well, chapter two, a bit short ; I'll try and update soon!
