I was really surprised when I got 5 reviews. I don't think I've ever gotten 5 reviews on one chapter before so it made me really happy. And now I'm trying to update this as soon as I can. –She'll do anything for a review. - Okay not anything, but I'll write like my life depended on it.
Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha, I struggle to even watch it on the television.
Sango waited and waited for Inuyasha to return with news about Miroku. Even though it had just been a dream she had a feeling that something was wrong. It was like the very air she breathed in spoke of something terrible.
She spent most of her time just pacing around the camp. Her nervousness made the fox demon very uneasy. He kept on trying to get her to do things to get her mind off of what could have happened in Kagome's time but nothing worked.
And Inuyasha's word kept ringing in her head like tiny bells. "And if I even get one whiff of Sesshoumaru in this camp I will kill you for being his whore." 'I'm not his whore. I'm not even close to being anything like that to Sesshoumaru. I don't know why he kissed me. It's not my fault that he did either. As long as Miroku is okay none of this matters. If he's really okay then nothing can hurt me. Not Inuyasha's words or Sesshoumaru's kiss.'
Her thoughts were interrupted by Shippo. "It's almost dinner time Sango. I'm gonna go get some fire wood so you can make dinner okay?" she nodded not even had noticed how late in the day it was. 'Why is Inuyasha taking so long?' "Be careful, don't wander off too far."
She watched the demon happily skip off into the woods. It was getting darker by the second. The clouds were gathering and soon enough it would rain. "Just perfect." She mumbled out loud.
Sango was sitting on a rock at the edge of camp. It was quiet; she could tell this was going to be a large storm. 'I hope Shippo will get back before it starts, if he gets lost in the storm…' she couldn't even finish the thought.
There was a sudden warmth against her back. She quickly turned around to see what it was. Crouched down so he was her level was Sesshoumaru. She almost screamed when she saw just out of pure shock.
He raised an eyebrow; her reaction was amusing to him. Then she started shaking her head. "You have to leave here! Inuyasha will kill me if he smells you…" she stopped talking when he pointed up to the sky.
She didn't understand at first. What did the sky have to do with anything? A few drops of rain fell and then she understood. "He can't find sent through water, just like a normal dog." The demon lord nodded.
She starred at his hair so a few moments. The damage was a lot worse then she had thought from the day before. Half of his face was covered by the hair on the left that used to be so long.
She just smiled at how strangely it had burned. It was all uneven. "What happened to your hair?" she found herself asking out loud. His emotionless face turned into that same partial smile from before.
"Fire, from Jaken's staff. Rin was playing with it." Sango only nodded, amazed that he had bothered to answer her. She wasn't sure what to do. It was so strange with him there. It started to really pour then.
She started to look around the camp to see if Shippo was there yet. Sesshoumaru turned her head to face him and tilted her head upwards with his finger. "Are you afraid?" he asked. It was the same question as the day before.
His voice seemed softer today then she remembered. 'How can I be afraid when you are being so delicate and kind to me?' "No, I'm not afraid." He nodded his head and stood up to his full height.
She stood up as well not liking him towering over her so much like he was. Even though he still stood a good foot taller then she was anyways. She noticed he was still wearing the gray outfit from before. 'His old cloth must have burned with his hair.' She inwardly smiled to herself. She didn't blame Rin for burning his cloth and hair; they had been the only two things about his appearance she couldn't stand.
He leaned down a bit and placed a sweet kiss upon her lips. When he pulled away they just starred into each others eyes for what seemed like forever. Sango forgot completely about Inuyasha's threat and her dream about Miroku.
Finally the great dog demon placed a kiss on her forehead and she watched him leave through the forest again. Watching him leave made her stomach knot up, as if him leaving was causing her some sort of stress. But she didn't turn around, even after he was long out of sight.
"Sango…" she heard someone call her name. She turned around to see Inuyasha. He didn't look at her the same way he had the night before, he looked beat down and warn.
She ran over to where he sat down, head in his hands. "What's wrong? Is Miroku okay?" she waited a long time before he looked up at her and shook his head. "They're dead." Her eyes grew wide as she sat down right next to him on the ground it was raining so hard it practically hurt but she was numb.
"Dead?" she asked. "As in all of them?" he nodded. 'How?' she wanted to ask. Her voice wouldn't let her. She noticed Inuyasha holding something in each of his hands. Silently she tried to take both items from him.
First was the necklace Kagome put the sacred jewel shards in. The other thing in his hand he wouldn't let her have. "Please, Inuyasha." After a moment he let her have it and she wished he had kept it.
He had been holding Killala's body. "Killala… No." her voice was only a whisper. Her companion looked close to tears as he stared at the dead fire cat demon. (That's what Killala was isn't it?)
Sango didn't know how this could happen; everything was just a giant blur around her. She felt Inuyasha's head fall into her lap and warm tears proclaim themselves different from the rain.
She herself couldn't cry. She ha lost a best friend, a love, and a life long companion but the tears wouldn't come. It was a few hours later when the rain finally stopped and Shippo came back.
He found the two in the same position even though Inuyasha wasn't crying anymore. Sango was soothingly petting him. The fox demon didn't understand what was going on. He held up what fire wood he had managed to keep dry but they didn't notice him.
When he got close enough to the two he saw Killala's dead body and he understood. "What happened?" he asked sniffling. "They never even got to where Kagome promised that Miroku would be healed. They were in a metal thing they called a car. There was a large crash. None of them made it. Kagome's mom couldn't get Miroku's body from the police but I took Killala before anyone noticed that he was there. They never had a chance."
Sango just kept on petting the half demon, knowing it would help a little. He had lost whatever part of Kikyo there was that he could love. She knew how much he loved the priestess and loosing Kagome was just another way of fate saying that it just wasn't meant to be. A large slap in the face, that's exactly what it was.
She didn't notice when he got up and left. She was in too much of a daze. Death was not foreign to her, it was just the dealing with it part she had never figured out to do. She sighed, standing up.
She was cold from being completely drenched earlier but tried not to think about it. Shippo and Inuyasha both watched her as she started to cook them all dinner. She was trying to keep herself busy so she wouldn't have to think about there friends' death.
They were both amazed at the feast she was cooking and how after she didn't eat any of it, just cleaned with such a ferocity they both knew that they did not want to be that pots at that moment.
When the sky was pitch black Sango laid down in the rock she had been on earlier when Sesshoumaru had visited and tried to sleep. The sleep that she craved didn't come easily. Her body was freezing from the wind hitting her damp cloth.
After half an hour of trying she just couldn't take it anymore. She quickly took off all of her cloth and covered herself with a large blanket. She could tell Inuyasha had watched her strip down to her birthday suit but couldn't find the energy to care.
When sleep finally came to her she was relived to find a peaceful dream. It was just as if she was starring at the stars all night. Well it was at first, and then she could see her friends in the stars. She could see her family in them just looking down at her.
When Inuyasha and Shippo awoke Sango had already been up for hours. There was a large stack of fire wood that was drying in the sun. The whole camp seemed like it was rearranged. A large breakfast was cooked and she was currently sewing something together.
Killala's body was missing. Sango had buried her friend as soon as she woke up, no being able to see the poor corpse without getting very nervous.
Inuyasha walked right up to the demon slayer. "You didn't have to do all of this." He told her while eating some of the food. "I know, it just helps." She replied almost like a zombie. Shippo slipped into her lap and tried to figure out what she was sewing.
When he asked she only smiled. "It's a picture of the sky." She told him holding it out for him to look at. Both of her companions seemed impressed. "I had a dream last night." She explained sadly. "It's not done yet."
Inuyasha had never seen anything like what the demon slayer was making. It was as if she had stolen the starts from the night sky and placed then on fabric. But then he stopped marveling when he noticed she was using Miroku's old robs for the base.
"Sango," he whispered. She looked up at him and saw concern on his face. She was pleading with him with her eyes not to say something about the monk's robs. And to her surprise it was as if he knew. "It's beautiful." He told her with as much of a smile as he could muster.
So please tell me what you think about this chapter and again I'm only asking for one review so I can update. I can't promise that the next chapter will be updated as fast as this one but I'll try.
