Apologizes and Forgiveness

Authors Note: This I think is going to be my fluffiest chapter yet. Sango and Sesshomaru fans will be immensely pleased, Kikyou and Inuyasha fans will as well. And Kagome fans might even be pretty happy about a certain scene, yes everyone shall be happy for once…and only once…hahahaha R&R

Tears shattered across Kikyou's face. What hurt the most? Being lied too? No…That wasn't it. Kagome wasn't her sister, and that's what hurt the most.

Flashback+

Kagome looked up from her paint set, to see Kikyou drawing on the table beside her with crayons. Her picture was of the rain, a single flower standing strong in the rain, it was the opposite of Kagome's picture, her's was a bright sun with a flower dying. It was always like this for them though, doing something without meaning too, and then the drawings being the same, but opposite, it was rather confusing.

"Hey Kikyou?" Kagome said setting her brush down and kneeling beside her sister. The little 6 year old, peering over her sister's shoulder.

"Yes?" Kikyou said her eyes never leaving her drawing as she worked on scribbling in the dark clouds and the big raindrops.

"Do you wanna be my best friend?" Kagome asked causing Kikyou to set the crayon down.

"We can't be Kagome, were already sisters." Kikyou said looking into Kagome's eyes, Kagome taking her hands in Kikyou's.

"Were twin sisters, that bond is stronger then any sister bond." Kagome said, her eyes were soft, hands gentle, voice lonely.

Kikyou blinked slightly before smiling widely "Best friends." She repeated firmly.

"Twin Sisters"

Kikyou's Pov

The steps creeked, "Kagome" Our mother…No, just Kagome's mother called out. I looked up at Kagome through wet eyes, her figure standing there a saddened expression on her face as she stood on the third from the bottom step.

"Kikyou" I heard her voice just as I had back then, soft, sincere, and lonely. "Kagome…were…" My voice was choked, I couldn't say it. I could hardly believe it. I felt arms wrap around my waste, it's as if Kagome had flew across the room to hold me, tears running down her face as if she were a fallen angel. "Were twin sisters" Kagome whimpered pulling back softly. "I'm sorry!" I felt a small smile replace my lips, "Best Friends" I whispered as Kagome and I slowly departed looking into each other's souls.

Sesshomaru crept down the stairs, it was nearly one in the morning and Sango was laying there hunched at the bottom of the stairs, the fresh smell of tears staining her fragile eyes, reflecting off her porcelain cheeks.

'She's beautiful' Sesshomaru thought as he picked up her body and carried her towards the couch. He paused there a minute staring at her relaxed body, as he took a seat at the edge of the couch, running his fingers through her hair. He knew he would never show these actions if she was awake, but he couldn't help it, he was sorry.

"I'm sorry Sango" his voice was soft he hardly could call it his own. Sesshomaru sighed, she was out cold, rocked herself to sleep with tears of heartache. Sesshomaru took a seat in the chair closing his eyes slowly, trying to think of happiness, before the fights, before the death, before the bad…

Flashback+

"Sesshomaru" his mother called to him, a miniature Sesshomaru running down the stairs towards his mother holding her.

"Where's daddy hum?" She said humming slightly, Sesshomaru smiled

"Daddy's upstairs he says he'll be down in one minute."

Sesshomaru's mother nodded slowly, as Sesshomaru spoke once more almost in a whisper "Mommy why do you love Chicue?"

His mother paused kneeling down to her son as she sat him in her lap.

"Does something bother you my son?" She whispered as Sesshomaru looked up to his mothers worry expression.

"No…" Sesshomaru said looking away, but he was lying. Not knowing bothered Sesshomaru, what he didn't know scared him.

"Women like big strong men." She said tickling Sesshomaru causing him to giggle slightly. "Just like you and your father, you too are to wonderful strong men."

Sesshomaru quieted down smiling a bit, "Then how do you know if you love someone?"

"When you love someone, it's when you'll feel the best…and the worst" Sesshomaru's mother whispered as Inutaisho came down the steps smiling.

"You guys ready?" Inutaisho said smiling slightly.

"Yea!" Sesshomaru said excitedly as they raced out the door.

End Flashback+

'Is this the worst mother? Is this the feeling of pain you were talking about? After your curses, and before Chicue's death?' Sesshomaru thought, glancing at Sango from the chair where he sat, walking up the stairs to his darkness, his room, as if it never happened.

Kagome pulled back, standing, looking at Inuyasha almost sadly, and looking to her sister. "I'll leave you too alone."

"Kagome its okay, I'll go" Inuyasha said softly.

"No…you guys have fun" Kagome said winking at Kikyou causing her sister to blush as she walked up stairs.

"Kikyou, will she really be okay?" Inuyasha whispered wrapping an arm around Kikyou's side.

"She'll be okay…give her time." Kikyou said smiling slightly.

Kagome walked into their room, a strange figure, sitting on her bed.

"Are you one of Naraku's?" Kagome's said, putting her head over her head setting on the bed, the voices screaming in her mind, losing herself all over again.

Shouten looked over at her smiling slightly, "Sadly" Shouten looked over at the girl crawling over to her, his bottle clinking against his skin as he looked at her, a few silver strands brushing her cheeks.

Kagome looked at him shocked, a slight blush covering her cheeks, "Do you not want to be Naraku's?"

"I'm not really his." Shouten said softly, removing the bottle from his side, "This is his control over me…Otherwise I'd be home free."

"Why don't I take it?" Kagome said softly, "I'll take it, Naraku wouldn't hurt me…He's so kind with me, as if I mean something to him…He's the one who spared my sister for me, besides one of us deserves to be free from him right?"

Shouten looked at her, "It's not so simple, besides, maybe if we go along with it were get free, Neither one of us deserve this." Shouten looked down then up to Kagome.

"What's your name?"

"I'm….Kagome…" Kagome whispered looking away, trying to hide the descending blush from her face.

"You give off such a pleasing aura Kagome, and your name matches it perfectly." Shouten said exhaling her scent. "Beautiful."

Shouten stood and out of reflex Kagome doing the same as Shouten walked towards her window.

"Will you be back?" Kagome whispered almost hopefully.

"Of course" he whispered touching her face gently, a small smile, "We have to escape Naraku don't we?" He said disappearing into the night sky.

((AN: Shouten and Kagome will be together for all you ppl who are wondering Anywho keep reading))

"Shouten" Naraku spoke coldly being only a block away from Kagome's house, Shouten reappearing before Naraku.

"Yes?" Shouten questioned his body stone cold by his words.

"Why were you at Kagome's?"

"Jealous Naraku?"

"Never"

"I can hear it in your voice Naraku, there's no point in denying it, your only hanyou, you still have a human heart."

Naraku growled warningly. "My dad hired you, and with your magic you have the power to do that, Remember Shouten your life is in my hands."

Shouten growled, as Naraku's smile developed on his face, "I want you to take my heart."

"Take your heart?"

"Yes…and I want you to carry it as well as your own"

"You won't survive"

"That's where you come in, You'll give me the magic to with stain a heart."

"Would that be wise?"

"I'd be a full demon, and my…interest in Kagome would seize to exist, having no sympathy for the bitch any longer."

Shouten twitched, "Does that mean I'd have your feelings for Kagome?" 'As well as my own…?' Shouten thought nervously, he was attracted to the girl, but if it got any worse how far would he go? Would he die?

"Okay" Shouten said eying the bottle at his side. His life line, if it was cracked, he would die. Shouten sprinkled dust over Naraku, the colors of blood and sin entering his poisoned soul, as Shouten pulled out his heart and shoving it into his body.

"Yes…" Naraku hissed, thinking of Kagome and feeling nothing, 'This will be much easier…'

Shouten closed his eyes thinking of Kagome 'This will be much harder…' as he watched their blood mingle together the hole in their chests slowly closing, the morning sun rising over them.

Sango looked up the sun rising now, she looked out the window rubbing her eyes, as she noticed Sesshomaru's car being nowhere in sight.

Sango sat walking into Sesshomaru/Inuyasha's kitchen, grabbing some Coco puffs. Sango snickered 'I wonder who these are' Sango thought sighing as she pulled out a bowl and poured the chocolate balls into them, setting the box down and getting the milk.

"I wonder…if were really over…" Sango thought miserably walking over the kitchen counter and turning on the radio. (A/N: Does any one have a radio in the kitchen? It's not uncommon, my old best friend, April she had one in there soooo I know it happens!) Pouring her milk, and began picking at her food.

Break down

I can't take this

Sango's eyes widened at the words, she didn't know this song surprisingly but even with the first few words she was almost certain that this song was fitting her, oh too perfectly right now.

I need somewhere to go

I need you

I'm so restless

I don't know what to do

Sango's heart stopped, before her pulse quickening, 'Sesshomaru…' Sango thought urgently…

Sesshomaru stood pumping gas into the car, a strange song had been playing since he had started pumping gas, it reminded him exactly how he was feeling now, oh too perfectly.

We've had our rough times

Fighting all night

And now you're slipping away

Sango walked out the door leaving the bowl half unfinished on the counter, walking down the street. 'I just need to clear my mind' Sango thought looking at the dark clouds rolling above her, the cool wind washing over her, just what she needed an escape.

Give me this chance

To make the wrongs right, to say

Don't walk away

Sesshomaru stepped into the car, turning off the radio, 'It wasn't my fault was it…?' Sesshomaru thought to himself almost sadly before shaking it off. 'No, if Sango was my g/f, she wouldn't allow another male to touch her.' Sesshomaru said starting the ignition.

I promise

I won't let you down

If you take my hand tonight

I promise

We'll be just fine this time

If you take my hand tonight

Sango sighed looking up at the sky, frowning 'Was it my fault? He knows Miroku's just a friend…If only I could say sorry' Sango sighed once more the sky darkening a bit more, the area being totally deserted.

Without you I go through the motions

Without you it's just not quite the same

Without you I don't want to go out

Without you I just want to stay

Sesshomaru turned sharply almost hitting the car in front of him. Sesshomaru sighed his mind was elsewhere, he couldn't help it, he couldn't stop thinking about Sango. 'I don't wanna be here…' Sesshomaru thought sighing annoyed. 'I just…I miss Sango' His eyes softening at the mere sound of her name.

That I'm sick of these fights

I'll let you be right

If it stops you from running away

So give me this chance

To make the wrongs right, to say

Don't walk away

Take my hand I promise

Sango paused as Sesshomaru's car halted to a stop; he looked towards her with no emotion as he walked in front of her. Sango's eyes brimmed with tears, Sesshomaru's silver pony tail blowing in the breeze. "I…" Sango closed her eyes, tears running freely now. "I'm sorry!" She screamed lunging herself into Sesshomaru's chest crying softly. Sesshomaru's hard eyes softened, running his clawed hands through her hair. "Don't cry" he whispered tilting her head up, giving her a soft kiss on the lips.

If you take my hand tonight

I won't let you down

Take my hand tonight

Sango took her hand with Sesshomaru's as they walked to the car a light rain falling over them.
