Chapter 9: A blast from out time

Authors Note: …..I updated!

Sango's POV

We had been traveling since we both woke up, jumping from portal to portal, killing and surviving we have gotten so use to it the dangers didn't seem to be as scary as the first few days. Had it been days? I don't think either of us know, it goes from night to day constantly, Kaigashii has been the only noise that we can hear seemingly. Inuyasha and I haven't been talking since we woke; he looks so deep in thought.

I could feel myself sigh and in my own twisted away I knew this was my fault. I couldn't protect Kohaku and I couldn't help but wonder if he was free now? If his body would be sprawled next to mine bleeding where the shard was? I could almost see our corpses and as if Kaigashii felt my discomfort he held me a little tighter.

It had been such a good night that night, I don't think I ever felt so comfortable in anyone's arms. I don't know why I'm thinking like this, but when I start to think about it, maybe in the end I've always loved Inuyasha. Love, yes I love that damn hanyou. Love like a companion or so I thought and I always wondered why he was everything I had longed for. Someone to protect me, to see me as a women then just a warrior, to feel safe in someone's arms knowing they'd protect, and without having to be worried about wandering hands. Seeing him and Kagome I secretly had spited her when he'd wrap his loving hands around her, knowing she was safe.

I had kissed him last night; His soft lips were against mine. I could feel my cheeks flame, I couldn't help it. I'm never that forward what so ever. I just wish I could know what he was thinking and before I could stop myself I could feel my lips mumble his name and his white ears twitched as he looked over a shoulder. His face was scarlet could he be thinking about the kiss to? I was so sure he was asleep….!

Outside world+

"Kagome-sama!" Miroku said rising respectfully, as he stared towards her calmly his face a bit twisted with worry but calm none the less, the little kitzune jumping on Kagome's shoulder as Kagome neared.

"Miroku-sama? Where's Inuyasha and Sango-chan?" Kagome said smiling towards the kitzune as she set her yellow book bag down, taking out a cup of ramen "I brought Inuyasha's favorite!"

"Inuyasha and Sango left yesterday to investigate the miasma that filled the area after you left; I had expected them back by now but…" Miroku said looking worriedly down into the forest. "They've shown no return and the miasma only seems to spreading"

Kagome paused slightly looking to the side scared setting her bag down and grabbing her bow and arrows, "Shall we go then Miroku-sama, Shippo-chan?"

The two nodded even the small kitzune to be unusually quiet and speaking as they slowly began to walk towards the direction where Inuyasha and Sango had left. "I hope there okay!" Shippo whispered, Kagome nodding a bit. Miroku speaking firmly as he looked towards the two.

"Inuyasha and Sango are strong fighters I'm sure they can handle it, but just incase shall we continue on?"

"Hai!"

Inuyasha's POV+

"W-What?" I stumbled I was red fire red, I couldn't tell if I dreamed the kiss or not. And the whole situation was pissing me off to this point. Her face was red and I began to wonder if it DID happen.

"W-What are you thinking about?" She asked her face still red, her youkai outfit had some splotches of cloth missing and some pieces were just bloody, but despite that it looked as if all the blood had rushed to her face, she was just blushing that hard.

She was beautiful.

For some reason that angered me and I found myself snapping at. "How to get out of here of course and what are YOU thinking about!" My face wasn't red anymore, I could feel my blood boil, and I felt like I was going to transform. I didn't WANT to like Sango, not like that and being this close to her was nothing but painful.

"Inuyasha" Her eyes looked worried, my hair was swaying wildly and my eyes were pulsing red. 'Damn' I thought mentally trying to regain control miserably, growling as I crouched to my fours, my long claws digging into my head.

Then I felt her touch, right on my shoulder, I could see her , her image a bit blurry at first, as she kneeled down looking into my eyes calmly, her handing resting on my shoulder. Kaigashii being quiet as his tiny hand touched the purple mark on the side of my face. I could feel my body drain and my temper drain as well as if the anger had been swiped clean from me. Not even Kagome could reach me that easily, it was true I never did transform that easily but Sango had managed to stop me before I had lost it. The little brat too. How?

Sango smiled looking towards me gently. "Welcome back"

Then we both heard it loud and clear, Kaigashii's little giggle as he pointed to Inuyasha. "Daddy!" He said pointing towards me, I could feel my cheeks redden desperately but I didn't deny it.

"Inuyasha you…"

"I what?"

"Kaigashii he called you…"

"Dad so what?"

"…."

"so what maybe I like the little pup!" I scuffed looking to the side. "And maybe I wouldn't mind raising the pup with you, maybe I kinda LIKE you"

Sango's heart beat wildly in her chest. "W-What do you mean?"

"Damn it!" I said red, Why couldn't she understand? I wanted to raise Kaigashii with her. I wanted to be with her. I didn't want to be with my past lover, I didn't want to be with my future lover. I wanted Her to be my present lover. I didn't want to live for the past or the future. I wanted to live for and with her, my PRESENT.

"I like you okay?"

"Inuyasha…."
