Moonlight Shadow - Chapter 3
I don't own Inuyasha
YAY!!!! I got a review I'm sooooooooooooo happy! Thanks so much KeeraSango you really made my day!!!
KeeraSango: Yes I actually have read Amelia's books aren't they awsome. they're what actually inspired me to write this story. My favorites are Hawksong (even though that one isn't about vampires) and Midnight Predator. As for leather pants......starts drooling may try to incorperate that scrumpsious idea in my next chapter....oooh man you're right Miroku would look good in leather.....Inuyasha too. Well thanks so much for reviewing so this chapter is dedicated to you!
"Sango?" Kagome asked. "Will you answer me, you're so intense right now its scaring me..."
"Oh!" Sango said snapping out of her trance. "Sorry, I just- never mind it was nothing."
Sighing with relief, Kagome said, "I'm glad it was kind of freaky, you walked into the classroom and you suddenly went into this intensely focussed, I don't know what to call it- some sort of trance. You sure you're alright?"
"Yeah," Sango said to reassure Kagome, why should she bother worrying this girl with her problems, not to mention Kagome would never believe her if she said someone in the room was a vampire.
"That's good," Kagome said and taking Sango hand let her to the back of the room where two boys were sitting. One with dark hair had his head down on his desk and looked quite ill and weak. The other had long white hair and looked slightly worried. And both of them stank of vampire. "Sango I'd like you to meet Inuyasha," Kagome said putting her other hand on the vampire named Inuyasha's shoulder and then pointing at the vampire with his head on his desk, "and Miroku. Inuyasha and Miroku, this is Sango, she's the new girl in our class."
"Yeah, nice to meet you and all of that junk," Inuyasha said.
Sango looked him over inch by inch, while she said. "Yeah." Her evaluating eyes missed nothing from his white hair to how much his aura stank of blood, human blood. White hair wasn't that uncommon for vampires, contrary to most beliefs not all vampires hair went black when they changed some went the opposite way of the colour spectrum, but they were few and far between.
Kagome shook her head at Inuyasha's rudeness but ignored it by turning her attention to Miroku. Her brows knit together when he said nothing. Looking up at Inuyasha Sango saw the worry reflected in her eyes. "Is he okay?" she asked.
Inuyasha just shook his head returning his eyes to Miroku. Sango then eyed the vampire named Miroku, and a slight flicker of confusion crossed her face. His aura was weak, far too weak. The aura of a vampire surrounded him, but it was fainter than any she had met before. It was obvious that something was wrong with him.
"Miroku," Kagome said gently putting a hand gently on his back and rubbing back and forth. "Are you alright?" With a groan Miroku raised his head. Sango saw that his eyes were bloodshot and had dark circles beneath them.
"Good morning Kagome," he said trying to pump some life into his voice. His eyes lit up when he saw Sango, putting on a cheerful face he stood up, and shook her hand. "Hello, I'm Miroku, and who are you?"
"This is Sango the new girl," Kagome said.
A grimace of disgust crossed Sango's face when Miroku touched her hand, shaking his grip off with a vicious flick of her wrist, she turned around and walked to the opposite corner of the class and sat down. Sango was glad when their teacher entered the room at that second, with an all too cheerful smile and asked them to sit down. Sango could sense Kagome's gaze lingering on her, and tried to ignore how the girl was upset at her reaction to her best friends.
Throughout the rest of her Biology class Sango debated what was to be done about the two vampires. She had to kill them that much was obvious. It was just the how that always possessed a problem; it wasn't like she could just walk up to them and kill them, not with all the other students around. But she would have to do it soon, she just couldn't let them live, the sooner they were of the face of the Earth the better.
After class Sango didn't wait for Kagome instead she left quickly, trying hard to ignore the feeling of hurt in her gut as she turned a blind ear to the only person in the entire school that had attempted to make her feel welcome. Sango managed to evade Kagome for the rest of the day, and when the bell rang she was one of the first out of the large wooden doors. As she passed the playground a block from her apartment she paused a moment to watch the children playing there. Sango had always loved watching children; they were so happy, carefree, so trusting and naïve. They're innocence amazed her, that in the middle of this confused and pointless world they could continue to play tag.
Sighing, Sango started walking again. She had almost reached her apartment when she sensed a vampire aura, in the alley she was passing by. Dumping her book bag on the ground and with a quick check that the knives secured on her wrists, and hidden by her jean coat were intact, Sango walked stealthily in. Fighting the urge to throw up, Sango took the scene before in her. Miroku and Inuyasha were there, but what sickened her was that in Miroku's arms was Kagome.
Growling Sango said, "let the girl go you leeches," every word dripping with disgust and anger. Both vampires looked up momentarily shocked at the intrusion.
Kagome struggled out of Miroku's arms and whirled around, "Sango!"
"Get out of here Kagome," Sango said.
"Oh no Sango, did you just see that!" Kagome said surprised and Sango almost detected a bit of shame in her voice.
"This is the last time, I'm going to say this Kagome, get out of here," Sango said deathly calm, releasing the switch on her wrist Sango let a knife fall into her hand. "Believe me you don't want to be here, once I start."
Inuyasha glanced at her sharply and swore. "Damn it Kagome! You IDIOT! You led a slayer right to us!" Barring his fangs he stepped forward.
"WHAT!" Kagome exclaimed confused turning to Inuyasha still supporting Miroku in her arms.
"So you're the one that killed Gabrielle last night aren't you?" Inuyasha demanded.
"I don't know, I try to avoid first name bases with those I kill," Sango replied. "Kagome, I mean it get out of here."
"Oh no Sango! Please this is not what it looks like! Let me explain please," Kagome begged stepping forward.
"I'm sorry Kagome, but in case you didn't know your so called friends haven't been completely honest about who – or should I say what – they are," Sango said crouching into a fighting stance.
"If you're referring to the fact that their both vampires I already know," Kagome said frantically. "Now Sango please you have to let me explain, you don't understand-"
"Don't tell me I don't understand," Sango snapped. "I understand perfectly, and I also understand that it was filth like this that slaughtered my family!" With a battle cry Sango flung herself into battle releasing her other knife and slashing at Inuyasha. Nimbly leaping aside Inuyasha evaded her knife, and attacked only to meet Sango blades once again. Snarling and clutching the arm Sango had slashed Inuyasha paused before attacking again this time swiping one of her blades out of her hand. Attacking once again Sango ducked in with lightning fast move that knocked Inuyasha on his back. Running at him again, Sango was furious when he managed to roll out of harms way with reflexes five times faster than human ones.
"NO!" Kagome screamed. "Inuyasha don't hurt her, she doesn't understand!! She was only trying to help me."
Evading Sango attack once again Inuyasha retorted, "Kagome, she's the one who's killed all those other vampires, seriously what do you want me to do, sit down and have tea!"
"I want you to get out of there!" Kagome screamed.
"I never leave a battle," Inuyasha retorted attacking Sango once more.
"Inuyasha this is no time to be stubborn, I'm serious," Kagome yelled clearly afraid he was going to get hurt. After all Sango knife had come pretty close a couple of times. "Think about Miroku, if you die he'll be too weak to defend himself, you have to get him out of here!" Glancing at his friend who was still pale, Inuyasha groaned. Faster than lightning he knocked Sango back against the brick wall dashing over to Miroku and hoisting him up over his shoulder and then vanished leaving behind a white fog.
Sighing Kagome let the tension drain out of her muscles, quickly she dashed over to Sango and tried to help her up, but Sango shook off the offered hand. Standing up Sango silently sheathed her knives and turned and began to walk away. "Sango please!" Kagome begged grabbing her arm.
"Let go of me," Sango said harshly. "I'm going."
"Sango listen to me, you have to hear me out, Inuyasha and Miroku they're not like the other vampires, they're-"
"I don't have to listen to anything," Sango said. Rounding around at Kagome Sango yelled, "I can't believe you're defending them Kagome! It's you're fault they managed to escape!"
"Of course, I couldn't let you kill them, they're my friends!" Kagome exclaimed.
"Well let me tell you Kagome, you're friends are killers, they've both killed humans just like you and me, and if it weren't for me you'd be dead too!"
"Miroku would never kill me, neither would Inuyasha. I was letting Miroku drink my blood, because it's more potent than human blood, and he needed to feed, but he hates to so that's why he was so weak." Kagome said hurriedly attempting to explain.
"Kagome, I don't know what lies they've been feeding you but you know what if you choose to believe them then that's your choice, but I'm telling you they are not worth the dust on your feet. They have killed and they will kill again if they're not stopped. Now as far as I'm concerned I have nothing more to say and want to hear anymore, so good bye." Sango said ruthlessly turning around and walking off.
