Change of Heart
Chapter Five
Three days later
Miroku's P.O.V
When I get back to my "home" I find a big surprise, the one that always waits for me is gone. I can swear that she wouldn't leave. I mean there is no one out there that would love her. Now I'm not saying that I love her, but come on. She has no one but me. She couldn't have gotten far. She's probably crying her eyes out at this very moment, hiding somewhere awaiting my glorious return. When I just happen to find her, I know she will come running into my arms and do whatever I ask of her. I know that for a fact. I'll tell her I love her like always and hold her for a little while and she'll stop crying, she might throw a ridicules fit like all ways, but at least I'll get to have some fun with her once her emotions are back under control, and after that I think I'll drop her, but only after I have my way with her first.
Inuyasha's P.O.V
Three days have passed now, and I do believe that Sango and I have gotten to know each other very well. With Kagome I couldn't say one word without her bitching at me for one reason or another. But with Sango we can talk for hours about the same things, we know each other; we have the same likes and dislikes. She told me what happened with Miroku and her. God I want to kill that guy. How could anyone use someone to such extents? It reminded me of Kagome, she kept me on a "leash" until she wanted or needed something from me, just like Miroku did to Sango. I hope I never do that to Sango. For some reason I think I am attracted to her, not that that's a bad thing, just feels different to have someone just like me.
But unlike me, she's a good cook, and plus she is a woman. She beautiful, talented and she has a great personality and she likes everything I like, my dream woman. It's beyond me how anyone could use her like Miroku did.
Well anyway I hope she likes the present I got her. It took me a while to track it down and with someone like me, the one that lacks patience, that's a very long time. Ouch, damn, my present is scratching me.
"Knock it off and behave." I say to it, but it scratches at my face again. "Son of a bitch, cut it out damn it." While I'm struggling with this wretched beast I forget that I am very close to where Sango is located, and she hears me.
"Inuyasha, is that you?"
"Uh, yes it's me." I can hear her coming toward me, and I try to hide the beast in the basket, which it is having a fit, not wanting to go back in. I get it in before Sango sees and luckily I still have my arm attached. I put the basket behind my back so Sango does not see it.
"Hi." She says to me, she comes up and wraps her arms around my neck and rests her head on my chest. O man, come on, why do you have hug me when I can't hug you back. I mentally cry.
"Are you okay?" she asks as she pulls back. I just nod my head.
"Why don't you go back inside, I'll be there in a second."
"Okay." She walks to the entrance of the hut and turns, "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yep, couldn't be better." She nods and walks inside, and I let out my breath that I had been holding back. Close one. I fluff up the present and make sure to put it back in its basket, before walking into the hut.
Sango was on her knees preparing dinner, which smells great to my keen senses. She looks over at me and smiles.
"What's in the basket?"
"It's just something for you." I tell her and she looks at it with curiosity. First I put the basket down; making sure it is still secured. I go over to her and this time I wrap my arms around her, pulling her to me and once again resting her head on my chest. She sighs softly. When I pull back she has another warm smile on her face. I sit her back down and go back for the basket. I pick it up and hand it to her. She takes it from me and sets it down in front of herself. When she opens it, her eyes widened and her face turned into a shocked expression. She takes the animal out and holds it up into the light.
"O Inuyasha, she's so cute!" A big smile appears on my face as I go and sit next to Sango.
"What are you going to call her?" I ask.
"I think I'll call her . . . Kirara."
"I like it."
"Inuyasha, where did you find a cat demon?" The small cat demon, that also looked like a kitten had two tails, large red eyes, several different black markings, white fur and saber like fangs.
"Some guy was trying to sell her in a couple towns over, and well I thought that when I'm not here you might need a companion to keep you company."
"That's so sweet of you, thank you so much." It makes my heart jump for joy to see Sango so happy. She sets the kitten down on the floor and I watch it run around Sango, purring noisily.
45 minutes pass, and I am still watching Sango play with her new friend. Dinner had already been finished and now we were just relaxing which I didn't mind at all. Then Sango looks at me with a smile on her face. By now Kirara had gotten worn out and was laying several feet away wrapped up in her tail. I am sitting up on a mat with my legs stretched out. She comes over to me and pushes me on my back. She looks very tired.
"Are you tired?" I ask.
She just nods her head before pressing her lips softly to mine. She pulls back 10 seconds later and lies down next to me. I roll on my side and wrap my arms around her, making sure she is comfortable. I pull the blanket on both of us and watch her as she closes her eyes and falls asleep. I stay awake for a couple more minutes, just watching her, loving how her face softens as she sleeps. I myself close my eyes and also fall into a deep and comfortable sleep.
