Sorry for the long wait, but here it is! Here are the people who reviewed and I would like to thank all of them. Everyone was so nice! sniffle , but first, I have a note.
NOTE: Okay, some people said that Inuyasha was born a ways back before Sango ans any of them. I know, but this is how I wanted it, and in the 3rd or 4th chapter, it will explain why. Or at least how Sango can live long enoguh to meet the rest of the Inu-gang. I hope that helps a bit.

Chapter 2: Give Thanks
Sango and Inuyasha had stopped by a sugar cane market to well, get sugar cane. Sango had provided the money for them both and they are now on their way to introduce (Sango's) mother to her new friend. Inuyasha. Out of pure generosity, Sango's mother offered Inuyasha to stay with them and he was more then happy to accept it. He noted that she said that if any of the villagers criticized him, then she would beat them up herself.
At this, both Sango and Inuyasha were filled with happiness. The young, chocolate-eyed girl was happy because not one single villager there would be able to hurt any of them. It would hurt Sango to see the villagers picking on her doggy-eared friend. Wait! Doggy-eared? Sango pondered for a minute that her new friend might be a demon. But…why did he look slightly human?
His hair color was indeed a new sight for Sango, as well as his eyes, and his ears, and…and…and his hands! Her eyes slowly started opening widely at her thoughts. Her eyes then started to get back to their original size. Why should any of this matter? He was her friend was he not? Sango mentally shook her head. Your friends are not based on appearance, but on character and actions. At least that was as much as she gathered for now.
But, anyway, she was happy because, just realizing it, he was a demon, and the villagers would probably pick on him. But according to her mother's words, that wouldn't happen. Plus this would be the perfect opportunity for them to become even better friends…maybe even best friends! A small smile crept up the cream-colored cheeks of Sango's. She couldn't wait to get started.
Inuyasha was having slightly similar thoughts. He would also be happy because when Sango's mother accepted him and said that she would protect him, she looked as though she meant it by her eyes. He wouldn't be picked on and horribly beaten by the villagers. He would have protection, almost like he had his mother back.
'Mother', that thought alone brought Inuyasha's moment of happiness to an end. He quickly shook his head, trying to get rid of the hurtful memory. He should be looking forward to the future, and be more concerned about the present…with Sango…and of course her mother and father.
But besides that, he and Sango could also become even greater friends! The problem for Inuyasha was that, well…he didn't know how to be a friend. He's never had one up until now. But he was glad either way. He would learn how to be a good friend and protect Sango and her family if necessary.
As Sango's mother went on about Inuyasha staying, he was glad to hear that they would provide him with everything he needed! They would give him a place to stay, which the mother already said, would give him food and water, a new set of clothes if he wanted it, grooming and whatever else.
When Sango's mom said "grooming", Inuyasha started wondering if she knew that he was a demon already. Well, half at least. He would tell them later. He could tell that his friend was already happy, but surprised him when she embraced him into a tight hug. He hesitated a moment before returning the hug, just as tight but not too tight.
Sango's mother had finished talking already, and the two children already picked up some of her laughter. Inuyasha and Sango realized that they had not separated, and swiftly broke apart, pink tinted cheeks on their faces for embarrassment and for the short, but seemingly long memory of their hug.
Inuyasha regained enough composure and cleared his throat, "Umm…miss Sango's mom-" but he was cut off by more laughter and Sango's mother waving her hand in his direction, "I'm terribly sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Amai Juingono, but you may call me Mrs. Amai." She told him, a large smile on her face.
Inuyasha nodded his head and continued, "Mrs. Amai, where do I stay tonight?" He didn't mean to be so straight forward, but he was just so excited and anxious. Mrs. Amai put a finger to her chin and played a thinking face. She already knew where he was going to stay, but it was his choice. Mrs. Amai was the kind of person who likes to play around, even if she was soft spoken.
She looked at the young man in front of her, "You may stay where ever you would like, but if you want, you may stay with Sango. She was two futons so you can use one." Inuyasha's ears perked up and another smile graced his features. He bowed his head in respect while saying, "Thank you, Mrs. Amai".
Sango was in shock. Her mother was allowing him to stay with her? She couldn't be any happier! (I bet I fooled some of you, thinking she was a bit upset or something ) She turned to her mother, running as fast as her legs would take her and gave her a giant hug. Looking up at with those big brown eyes, she whispered, "Thank you".
Mrs. Amai smiled, nodded and encircled her own arms around her beautiful daughter. After a few seconds they released each other. Sango turned her attention to Inuyasha as she walked over to him. She smiled, her eyes slightly glazed with some, unshed tears. Taking his small hand into hers, she turned to her mother once more.
"I'm going to introduce Inuyasha to daddy and we'll go to the river for some fun later!" With that, Sango hurled Inuyasha out of the hut and they were gone. Mrs. Amai sighed. She wasn't really thinking about putting both of them in the same room, but they are still little children. When you turn around eight or nine, you stop sleeping with the family and eventually get your own bed and room.
'They're still young, nothing will happen.' Mrs. Amai thought and told herself. 'They'll be just fine.'
I'm sorry again for having everyone wait so long. But thank you for understandind. And I made up Sango's last name which is why it was not in the "Age and Dictionary Table". Thank you again!
