It's that time of year again. Yup, Christmas time! I've decided to threaten every single one of my friends to make sure that don't do something crazy, like buy my a gift. –That makes no sense. Wouldn't you want gifts?- Well if they get my gifts then I have to buy them gifts or else I feel really bad and I only have enough money to buy family Christmas gifts and birthday gifts, and that one friend who had already bought me a gundam seed gift that I really want to know what it is. –That's right; your whole family except for you has a Christmas birthday. - It's so sad, I save up all year only buying manga or lending money and then all my savings are spent this time of the year.
Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha, it would be a twisted and wrong world if I did.
"He's done it more then once, he can't get enough of it. He's just using you Sango, why won't you see that dammit!" "Why don't you just shut the hell up? You've been saying what he's done is so bad, but I doubt there is anything he could have done as bad as you've been leading it up for."
Sesshoumaru was silent behind her, his breathing was irregular. 'Inuyasha had never gotten beneath his skin before, what's going on?' "He's killed," The demon slayer raised an eyebrow. "We've all killed. That's just the messed up world we live in."
There was that smile again. He liked leading her on. He liked frustrating her and confusing her. It was as if he had claimed her as his enemy, what had happened to his so called love?
"No Sango, he has killed. You've nerve seen him in battle. When war ruled these lands I saw him fight only once. There was nothing that could stop him. It was a bath of blood for him to finish off every man he could, even the already wounded and retreating.
"After words he would visit a grieving wife, sister, or daughter. He would kill them after spending a night with them in there chambers. It was the same story I heard after each of his famous battles.
"When I was 5 I snuck away from my mother to watch. It was just as horrible as they had said. And the women, he would destroy whatever was left of there heart before putting them out of there misery. You're the griever Sango. I won't let him destroy you."
She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She turned to look at the demon that had been there when she had needed him most ever since Miroku died. Had it all been a plan to destroy her like the others? 'No! I can't believe this. I love him, and he loves me.'
But then a thought struck her. 'He never said it. He never said I love you. I just assumed he felt the same.' She quickly turned around to the demon lord accusingly. He was starring right threw her, as if he was seeing all of those he killed.
"Is it true?" she asked not being able to take all the anger from her voice. He bowed his head so all the hair that was slowly growing back covered his face. When he looked back at her she could barley see his eyes but knew that there was a lone tear falling down his face.
He didn't answer but she knew it was true. This is why he was evil. This is why he was emotionless on the outside. He had done so much wrong that he didn't deserve to show happiness for he had caused only the opposite on others.
He couldn't stand the way she was starring at her. He thought that enough time had passed to be able to let down the walls he had been hiding himself behind. And now they were back and twice as strong.
He jumped up and landed in a tall tree. He starred down at her just for a moment of regret and then started off away from Sango forever.
"No…" she sadly sobbed falling to her knees in sorrow. She had loved him but he was only looking to kill her like the others. She felt Inuyasha place a hand on her shoulder, trying to be comforting. 'Bastered!' she thought looking up at him in rage, tears falling from her dark brown eyes.
He took a step back, a little surprised. "It was for the best, you know it." He tried to tell her regaining his arrogance. "If you don't see that then you're just a stupid little wench." She pulled the fan from the sash in her kimono quickly, holding in the defensive position.
"You can't be kidding me? I can't fight you!" "Are you saying you're too afraid to fight me Inuyasha? Or are you just saying you can't because you actually believe this thing you feel for me is actually love?"
He gritted his teeth. "You're not thinking straight, you don't want to fight me, you want to fight Sesshoumaru!" She smiled in a scary manner. "You have no idea how much I want to fight you."
The half demons mouth fell open. "What the hell did I do?" he asked putting a hand on his weapon as she advanced on him. "What did you do? It's more like what didn't you do." he pulled out his sword as she tried to attack.
He blocked her in the nick of time. "I don't understand, I mean I just saved you from him!" she bit her lip as hard as she could. "It's not that simple. You think you can save me from him? It's too late, I love him."
She tried a series of attacked but he protected himself well. (I apologize for not going into detail with the battle; I don't know anything about fighting. –She's anti war/ any killing.-) she couldn't kill him, he was much stronger then her but she would hurt him as badly as she could for as long as she could.
Inuyasha didn't know what to say. He wasn't good with emotions. For her to tell him she loved his brother was a shock. He knew that there was something going on but that he had already won her over was hard for him to believe.
"You can get over him." he finally managed to say trying to knock that annoying fan out of her hand. "You don't understand." She sounded tired and completely out of it. "It's hard enough to find love once. It's just not fair!"
Somehow she reached inside of herself for the strength to knock his sword aside and place the very end of the fan to his throat like she had Jaken. He didn't scream or say anything at first.
She looked into his amber eyes and remembered the other eyes that were just like his, eyes that had held her a prisoner to herself when they first met and then again just earlier that day.
She dropped the fan and turned around to the stars and moon. Inuyasha placed an arm around her shoulder. "Let's go, Shippo is probably off begging for food somewhere or being eaten by some demon." His attempt for humor didn't work but she nodded. "Yeah, let's go."
"Look, if we want to get back to camp faster you're gonna need to get on my back." He was blushing but she didn't notice. Absent mindedly she got on his back piggy back style. Inuyasha mentally cursed who ever got her that dress, having her bare legs right there was causing him to have thoughts that Miroku had been famous for.
The trip back from the Western lands took the rest of the night. Sango fell asleep on the half demons back as he carried her home. The found of his feet the ground was comforting to the demons slayer and made so tired.
She found herself in the middle of what seemed like a familiar dream. She was wearing an elegant dress while in the middle of a burnt down village. She was just sitting there doing nothing at all.
After a few moments of nothing the ash of the village started to move. All the tiny little pieces were coming together to put the village back together. She starred in awe when she this hadn't been a normal village, this had been a kingdom.
As soon as all the buildings rebuilt themselves, all the people started to reappear. She just sat in the very middle of it all as she watched everything in slow motion. She saw everything, from all the soldiers coming together to the very first child crying for his mother. They were under attack but she could only watch.
From where she was she could only see men falling in every direction. 'There must be many of them.' She thought in alarm at how many had fallen already. But then from the center of all the men a single faceless demon appeared, bloody sword in hand.
He was standing tall and proud bringing down any man who dared come near him. To her surprise he walked right up to her and knelt beside her. A pair of amber eyes appeared on his paled face.
"Sesshoumaru," she whispered taken aback. He nodded. He was in armor and his hair wasn't long, but it wasn't burnt and choppy either.
She raised her hand to touch his face. His nose and mouth appeared as soon as she did. "You started the attack?" she asked him. He nodded once more. "Why?" she didn't understand.
He placed a hand behind her neck and leaned in for a long kiss. He pulled slightly away from her. "For you."
I would like to take this time to thank Nightfall2525! She gave me an idea for what Sesshoumaru did that was bad that insperized me for the inspiration of what I actually did. Thank you! Oh and I would like to apologize for this chapter. I think I made Inuyasha too smart or something that made him a bit off… Oh well, please review! –You're too happy…-
