Sango's eyes were dry now. She'd cried herself to sleep, and she was confused about the fact that InuYasha – InuYasha of all people! – Made an attempt to cheer her up. Sango got up groggily and looked around. InuYasha looked like he hadn't slept all night, and he was staring into the remains of the fire.

"Hey…" Said Sango. InuYasha didn't look up, but one of his ears faced her in acknowledgement. Sango stood up and rolled up her bedroll. "Anything new in the night?" InuYasha shook his head slightly. After a while of watching him, Sango decided it would be a good idea to snap him out of whatever trance it was that he was in. She took the water bucket they'd set up and put the fire out. InuYasha jumped, and looked at her.

"We're going." Said Sango, grabbing InuYasha's wrist again and dragging him. He put up little resistance.

Guess what! The writer is going to make the narrator follow InuYasha now!

After a while, it occurred to InuYasha that they had Kirara with them.

"Why aren't we riding Kirara?" He asked. Sango smiled and patted her pack.

"Kirara's strong, and can carry two people easy enough, even one person and two packs. But for long distances and carrying that much weight…" Sango shook her head. As she did this, InuYasha couldn't help but notice, her hair flowed around her head and sparkled. InuYasha shook his head and tried not to look at her anymore.

It was short, but there it was.

Sango looked over the river. She remembered this river was all dried up when they passed it last time. It was flowing rapidly now that the demon that had stopped it was dead. She sighed.

"Being a hero is too much work." She said, looking for a place to ford it. She put her pack down for a second, and before she could pick it back up InuYasha had grabbed it.

"InuYasha!" She squealed. "Give that back!" Said yelled to him. He slipped it on his back and jumped. Later Sango decided it must've been a trick of the light, but at that moment she swore he was an angel. The sparse light that filtered through the leaves of the trees over the river caught his hair and it glimmered beautifully. It seemed to take forever – Or maybe Sango just wanted it to – for him to land. She realized she was staring, and she looked away, muttering something incoherent above the noise of the river. When she looked back, InuYasha'd leapt again and was back on her side of the river, but their packs were across. Before Sango could say another thing she found herself being picked up by InuYasha. Once again, before she had time to say anything InuYasha leapt. This time she could've sworn that InuYasha let go of her other than her hand – Which, by the way, he did – and let her fly. As they neared the ground InuYasha held her feet slightly above his – resulting in him holding her very close – and landed. Once they had that done, he put her down. Sango looked around for a little while and blinked.

"That's one way to cross a river." She said. "I was going to say we could've asked Kirara…" Kirara mewed. InuYasha looked sheepish.

"Well why didn't you say so?" He said.

"I tried…"

"Oh."

…

During the day Sango spotted a village that they could make it to by nightfall, and they did. It was night, InuYasha and Sango had rented a room from an inn at the far edge of the little town. InuYasha, as always, chose to sleep in the corner, leaving the bed for Sango. Sango watched InuYasha drift off, cause she wasn't tired at all. Her mind was still buzzing with questions. She touched the bruise on her cheek. The electrical signal of pain traveled a high speed to her brain. Sango flinched. She looked sternly towards InuYasha.

"InuYasha, wake up!" She hissed. It was enough to get the Hanyou up, though.

"Whu--? Eh? Huh?" He calmed down a little, then looked to her groggily. "Yeah, what is it, Sango?"

"Why is Miroku mad at you." She said. It wasn't posed as a question, more of a command. 'You will tell me why, or I start chopping bits off…' Purely metaphorically. InuYasha shook his head.

"No matter how mad at me he is right now, I can't tell you. I made…" Once again he found a word that wasn't in everyday use. He mentally dusted it off and read. "A promise." He said. "I won't tell." Sango glared.

"You also made a promise that you wouldn't come." She said. InuYasha opened his mouth to reply, but snapped it shut quickly.

"That's different." He said after a while. He looked like he was holding in who knows how many rude things to say.

"How so?" She asked.

"Cause I wanted to come… And… I don't want to…" InuYasha tried to fit his mind around the sentence he was saying. "I don't want to hurt Miroku," He said, mentally relieved to have finished that. "And I think if I told you I might."

"You need to tell me. I want to calm Miroku down as much as you, but he's not being reasonable!" She said. InuYasha thought this over. He seemed torn between the choices. Eventually he sighed, and cracked.

"All right, I'll tell you, but Miroku doesn't want me to…" He said. "And it might make Miroku even more upset." He said.

"So? Get on with it!" Hissed Sango. InuYasha took a long, and overly dramatic breath.

"I'm a circus clown." He said. Sango's expression became plastic.

"What?" She said plainly, yet somehow slipping venom into her tone.

"I'm a--" THUNK! "OWW!" Said InuYasha. Sango pulled her boomerang back.

"Tell. Me. The. Truth." She said, putting her glaring face way too close to his. There was another long silence. InuYasha's golden eyes seemed melancholy, and indecisive. He looked back into her chocolate colored eyes and spoke.

"Okay…" He said. "I'm really going to tell you, but don't say I didn't warn you…" InuYasha opened his mouth to speak. The sliding door broke down.

End Chapter Three.

All right, I can't review everything that's there… Geez! I didn't think it was that good! –Smiles– Well, thank you all for your reviews, people! I'll try to make the next chapter as good as the first two…

Don't cry, Miroku still has feelings for Sango-Chan!

And um… Yeah, InuYasha's not good at cheering people up. He hasn't got much practice… So, it'll blow over… He thinks…

Ladie, you're totally right! As much as I hate to make Kagome my villain, which I think she's gonna be, sort of, this is just how I see her mostly… And as for Miroku, yeah, he's pretty reasonable. I love Miroku –Huggles plushie– But he needs to be this way for the story, so he's gonna have to tap into his reasonable fit. I deserve a review? WOWIE!

Chigirl, You're welcome! Thanks for reviewing me! And it's not his ugliest form, in my opinion… There's a form that does little, but it's worse. The form that expects you to know it's jealous, but shows it in no way till it's too late. That's the worst. –Sad face– I hope no one here ever feels what that's like.

Shino: Almost as much? Achronyms isn't that great, is it…? Aww! –Huggles Sister–

PurplePeopleEater! I love that song! Yeah, I'm making chapter three as I type. Erm, well, I'm replying to reviews, anyway… And it sucks so badly. But big strong InuYasha's gonna reveal it soon, I think… I love writing something people actually like!

Whoa, I'm a man-guy? When did that happen?

AddictedToInuyashaFics, I'm serious about liking your name. And thanks, I really see Inu as a softie a lot more than some people. However, if you read The Hidden Heart (By me) then you'll see how I think of Sesshoumaru and Naraku…(Chap: Misunderstandings)

AnimeRox, you're damn right it's sweet! –Giggles– Well, I'm replying to the reviews before writing it, but above you'll see what happens next. I don't really have much of a plan…

SnowFox! Knock her out? That's way less emotionally painful! I can't do it that way! Miroku slapped her, but she doesn't really know what happened, cause she still doesn't think it possible that he hit her.

Okay, now that I'm done reviewing, I think I'm going to write… Right, I think I'm not going to thank all my reviews next time, too much time to take (400 some words!)… Anyway, Thank you all in advance. If you want to ask stuff about the story, AIM or YIM me. I'm HellHound1991.
