Mushi: Guess who's back? Back again? Mushi's back. Tell a friend!

Chapter 4: Sesshomaru's arrival

" Koga?" Sango said as soon as they were out back and out of Rin's ear shot.

" Yes?" he asked with a smile.

" I never agreed to be your girl. Why did you say that? Do you just feel sorry for me or something!"

Koga was taken back by her sudden rage.

" N-No! I DO like you!"

" That must be a lie. You love Kagome."

" It's not a lie...I realized that I actually love you, and only you."

Sango's heart felt like it had stopped. It felt so good to hear someone tell her that they loved her. It was like the world had started to spin again, after a year of stopping. She looked into the wolf demon's eyes, speechless.

" Y-You love me?"

" Yes. I love you."

He leaned down to kiss her, but before he could Rin called out for them. Koga laughed awkwardly. They went inside, finding Inuyasha's brother standing in the middle of the den beside a joyful Rin.

Kagome's P.O.V.

Kagome had returned to the campsite holding the cake and the present. She sat them down on a rather flat rock. Inuyasha immediately came over and started sniffing at the cake.

" What's this? It smells good!"

" It's Sango's birthday cake." she held up the wrapped gift," And this is her present. By the way, where is Sango?"

" She went into the woods."

" Why!"

" How the hell should I know?"

" Inuyasha! You know how she's been lately! You shouldn't have let her go out there alone! Who knows what she'll do!"

" Relax, Kagome! I'm sure she's fine!"

" Can you still pick up her scent? Is she close by?"

Inuyasha sniffed the air. " I-I've lost her scent..."

" Inuyasha!"

"Y-Yeah?"

"SIT!"

Sango's P.O.V.

" Oh, Sesshomaru!" Sango said. She couldn't help but to let herself smile. Obviously Koga saw it and started getting jealous.

" Thanks for taking care of me, Lady Sango!" Rin said.

Sango nodded. She couldn't take her eyes away from Sesshomaru.

" Okay, so you've got the girl back. You can go now." commented Koga.

" Koga!"

" I was merely staying for Rin's sake is all." Sesshomaru replied to Koga's remark.

" Yeah. I wanted to say thank you. And I did." Rin smiled.

" You, slayer."

" Y-Yes?"

" Where's Inuyasha?"

" I-I don't know..."

" Why don't you?"

" I wondered away from him, alright?" Sango hadn't meant for that to come out as cold hearted as it sounded. " I'm sorry. I didn't mean-"

But he had left without even staying to hear her apology. Sango felt as if she were going to start crying any second.

" Are you okay?" Koga asked as he saw her first teardrop run down her face. She nodded untruthfully and turned to leave. Koga followed her.

" Where are you going?"

" I need to get back to camp."

" Would you like for me to come with you?"

She suddenly felt awful for acting like she had.

" N-No. I'm fine."

" No you're not."

" I said I'm fine!"

Koga was quiet for a second.

" Sango, why don't you just stay here with me for a while? I'm sure they'll come looking for you."

" Okay," she gave in.

They went inside and sat down.

" Sango?" he asked in a rather soft and loving voice.

" What?"

" Happy birthday."

Mushi: That sucked, but it's the best I could do. It's been a little too long since I've written on here. I might be able to get a new computer at my house in January.
