Chapter One.6: Discovery

I don't own Inuyasha. Unfortunately enough.

"Let me get this straight," asked-said Sango. "She hates you, and it's my fault?"

"Well, you make it sound worse than it is," Inuyasha protested in her defense, "I mean, it's not your fault, but it is because it's my fault for hanging out with you which I guess is your fault because it's you I'm hanging out with and . . . um . . . you know I usually don't get nervous."

"Nervous," said Sang, "I can't believe you just said that word. It's not even in your dictionary unless you're picking on someone."

"I do a lot of picking," says Inuyasha, "Um . . . do you think . . . well . . . I'm asking if you hate me because I'm mean like that." Screw Kagome... why should I hide my feelings, I only did it for her sake, and she has no sake now... (AN: omg if that even made sense xD)

"I think it make you, you."

"Would you like me better in my human form?" asked Inuyasha, following the temptation.

"I wouldn't want you any other way."

"Any other way than this?"

"Not any other way . . ." Sango, being sucked into the conversation, asked, "Now what do you think of me? Between friends, you know."

"Between friends?" asked Inuyasha. "Between this, this is what I think of you."

There was a soft feeling on Sango's lips. The moment made her hard to figure out what it was, because she wasn't even thinking. But then, it got her. Inuyasha was right there, and their conversation... of course... why didn't she know...

She gave in, and kissed him back. But with more power than he had.

He kissed her back, with even more power.

The rest tells itself.

"How dare that moron!" shouted Kagome, going through her drawers and everything in her room. There was a big pile of pictures in the middle of her floor. Each of them Inuyasha. Most of them his finger, blocking the camera (once he figured out how to block it, of course). "Sango . . . and she was my friend . . . oh Kami, what have I done . . ." She lowered to the floor, onto her knees. She went face first into the huge piles, running pictures through her hands and fingers.

"It's too late now."

After all those times I've gone back, I can't go back now . . .

And finally had come the day that nobody thought would ever come. Nobody. Shippo rest on Inuyasha's left shoulder, Sango occupying the right. It was the most unexpected area. The. Most. Un. Expected. Flowers? Not even Sesshomaru, in a spot of desperation, would rest in flowers. Unless maybe Rin led him there. Then he would.

They approached the area with caution. Inuyasha thought of how stupid this looked. Flowers. Caution. You couldn't use the words in the same sentence. The entrance to the castle looked so easy. There must've been some trick. but Inuyasha came to it, Tessaiga in hand, and nothing seemed wrong. Well, the usual barrier. But the Red Tessaiga destroyed it in absolutely no time.

The inside was like a maze. There were absolutely no more barriers after the first, in fact, the whole concept was easy. But a big maze. A big puzzle. The sides were protected. You couldn't hit anything against them. They even burned your hands if you touched the sides. You could touch the top and bottom, but there was a small barrier on those that stopped swords and other weapons. Meaning no Kaze no Kizu.

"It just never ends," complained Inuyasha.

"Go right," said Sango.

"How do you know?"

"I just do . . ." she said. She looked around. Everything looked so familiar, but she didn't know how. Why... why is it the same? "Left."

"We're going in circles."

"Don't turn here. Right. Left. Left. Right. Right. Straight. Right. Left. Straight. Barrier."

"Yeah, I kind of noticed," said Inuyasha. "Don't worry, Tessaiga will finish this in a bit . . ."

As soon as he barely moved it forward, grey smoke poured into the hall.

"What is this, miasma!" shouted Inuyasha.

"It's not! It's smoke, yes, but a bad kind!"

"What kind?"

"No time!" Sango coughed and pulled out her gas mask, and put it on herself. Then she clamped one hand over Inuyasha's mouth.

"Wha-mph-urrrh-whraaaaaaa-sqeee-kkkfhh . . ."

"Shut up," muttered Sango. She removed Hiraikotsu. "It's not your kind of barrier. I knew I knew this place." She moved Inuyasha and swung her boomerang as good as possible, which wasn't very good, letting it bang against the sides because it was unavoidable. She grabbed his hand and pulled, leaving her gas mask on in case. Once they got pass the barrier, it went right back together. They weren't going back, but there was no smoke in here. Sango still left it on, not willing to take chances.

"Naraku," murmured Inuyasha.

"We don't know yet," said Sango. She spoke too soon. A second later, if a second, Naraku seemed to just emerge out of nowhere. but he carried along someone new. Well, someone new to be added to Naraku's crew.

"Kagome!" called out Sango.

Sorry it's even shorter than normal... o.O
