Sango sat alone in the cabin wondering how Kikyou was doing. But she knew better than to be worried Kikyou was capable of handling herself. Soon she heard the door opened thinking it was her sister, she turned around and smiled.

But the smile quickly faded when she saw who it was. Standing before her was Sesshomaru who looked equally surprised. He was not expecting her to be there, if anything he hoped that it would have been empty.

"Sango."

"Sesshomaru?"

"What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same question."

That was certainly true enough. He closed the door behind him and stood there for a moment. It was clear that she was alone. But since she was indeed here then that meant her sister was too. And he knew that they didn't separate unless it was necessary.

"Where's your sister?" he asked.

"She went after your brother."

"I knew she always had a thing for him."

Sango agreed completely she always believed Kikyou liked him. But of course there was always that one thing which held her back. And that was of course her job, but it seemed now there would be no job to return to.

She didn't know about Kikyou but she wasn't sure if she wanted to work anymore. Maybe it had something to do with her feelings for Sesshomaru. Then again it could be anything, she wasn't sure. It was now a very awkward silence in the cabin.

"You aren't saying anything." Sesshomaru wondered.

"Neither are you."

Perhaps it was because neither one of them had anything to say. Or maybe it was because now things seemed different. Here they were in Russia and now they had nothing to say. Sango actually had a lot on her mind, but no way to put it into words. The same was true for Sesshomaru he couldn't form the right words.

"Why are you here?" she asked finally.

"If you are suggesting I followed you here. I didn't I had no idea anyone was here."

A part of her wanted him to leave her alone. But there was also the part of her that wanted him to stay, even if only for a little while. She was torn between her instincts for hunting criminals, and her now developing feelings for him. She was sure Kikyou was going threw the same with Inuyasha.

(Kikyou and Inuyasha)

Sure he was fast, but her bullets were faster. He dodged than as best as he could, but he wouldn't have to run much faster. He was going to stop at the cabin he and Sesshomaru rented. And he knew for a fact that Kikyou would follow him.

"Hey Kikyou ready to give up?" he asked.

But she didn't respond to him. Before she knew it he disappeared into some trees, she stopped for a moment. Not knowing where to fire her gun, she couldn't see him anymore. But there was obviously something on the other side of those trees. She ran threw them and stopped when she saw a cabin. It must have been where Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were staying.

She also noticed that their cabin was not that far away. A few miles the most, if that many she wasn't sure. But anyway inside she walked it looked vacant like no one stepped foot inside for years. She backed up and went for the door. But Inuyasha jumped down from the ceiling smiling at her.

"Hello Kikyou."

"Inuyasha."

She could see that he had no intention of her getting out. It was almost as if he planned the whole thing out this way. So it would be just the two of them in the cabin, he obviously was expecting something to happen.

She on the other hand had no idea what to feel. A part of her wanted to push him aside and run away. But that would mean running away from her feelings and her job. Then there was also the fact she also wanted to stay. She was torn between her feelings for him and her work. Sooner or later she knew that she would have to choose between them.

"What are you thinking?" he asked her.

"I'm entitled to think aren't I?"

He smirked at her, he could tell that they would have some fun together. She stared at him for a moment wondering what he was thinking. As he too wondered what she was thinking.

"Where's little sis?"

"She's safe don't worry about her."

Kikyou wondered if Sesshomaru had found Sango. She wouldn't have been the least bit surprised if they were together now. She couldn't blame her for having feelings for Sesshomaru, and also for wanting to be with him. Seeing as how she had the same feelings for Inuyasha. All she really cared about was knowing that Sango was safe.

"Doesn't it bother you, that she's probably with Sesshomaru?"

"No, Sango is perfectly capable of taking care of herself."

He moved closer to her but she did not back up. He lowered hie face closer to hers, making it seem like he was going to kiss her.

"Does it bother you to be here with me?"

She closed her eyes to think for a moment. Honestly it didn't bother her, if anything it made her a little uncomfortable. Mainly because she knew what could happen if she let herself go, and drop her guard. So she reacted in the only way she knew how, and that was to push him away. She moved away and pushed him aside.

"What the hell was that for?" he asked loudly.

Soon he looked up when he heard a rumbling sound. Kikyou looked around too, there was obviously one explanation for this. An avalanche on instinct Inuyasha jumped up and leaned over Kikyou.

"Kikyou watch out."

(With Sesshomaru and Sango)

They too had heard the loud noise. Sango who was by the window saw the snow coming down. And before she could say anything Sesshomaru knocked her onto the ground. Placing his body on top of hers, like a shield.

She looked up at him surprised. Wondering why he did that, she knew he liked her. But did he care that much were he would risk his life for her. Once the sound stopped completely he helped her up, and she still stared at him.

"What is it?" he asked.

She ran into him placing her arms around him. He slowly returned the embrace, and there they stood for a moment.

"You idiot why did you do that?"

"I couldn't let you get hurt."

"But still what a stupid thing to do. I don't want to see you get hurt either you know, what if something did happen...I"

Sesshomaru then pulled her close capturing her lips in a kiss. She was a little surprised but kissed him back. Then he pulled away both needing some air.

"You were worried about me, I must mean a lot more to you."

She let him go and looked out of the window. There was snow completely covering the windows. Sesshomaru opened the door and Sango opened her mouth wide. They wouldn't be going anywhere for awhile.

"Looks like we'll be together for awhile."

"Your saying we're trapped together. Oh god." she sighed.

Sesshomaru glanced at Sango who was now sitting on the floor. But he was confident that they would find some way to pass the time.

(With Kikyou and Inuyasha)

"Inuyasha are you alright?" she asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, are you?"

"Yes I'm alright."

He got up and so did she. She went over to the window and saw that they were snowed in. For how long she didn't know.

"Looks like its just you and me." he told her.

She found herself hugging him. He had just risked his life to save her, this changed everything. He returned her hug thankful that she was still alive. He wasn't sure how he would have reacted if something ever happened to her.

"What a foolish thing to do, you could have gotten yourself hurt."

"I know, I don't care." he said.

"Well I do."

Was his ears playing tricks on him. Or did she just admit that she cared about him. He was surprised and glad at the same time.

"Kikyou... I couldn't watch you get hurt. I'm glad that your alive."

"I'm glad you aren't hurt either. I don't know what I would have done."

Maybe it took this experience for her to realize just how much he meant to her. Soon before either one of them knew it, they found themselves in a passionate kiss. One that neither one of them planned on stopping.

TBC... yes there is a second part to the chapter, stay here for more.
