For the first two chapters and 9 reviews already. I'm impressed. Thank you everyone for reading. I'm kind of putting this up a day early but no big deal.

Ch.3 Faithful Night

Later that night and the moon was already out Inuyasha returned back with a wooden staff over his both of his shoulders with two buckets at the end of each one. His face slightly covered in dirt and clothes tattered as he returned back to the house after a day work. After knocking a few times steps were heard coming towards the door and as Sango peeked her head out to see him she opened the door even wider allowing him to come in. Putting down the wooden staff on the ground with the buckets of water he took a glance at Sango before walking back to the door.

"Where you going Inuyasha?"

"I'm going to take a bath. I'll be back later."

"But Inuyasha. I want to…never mind. I'll wait for your return."

Sango reached into her night gown grabbing at her chain and taking a deep breath then bringing up her other hand with other chain it and clasping them both together taking another deep breath before looking before her and walking towards the bucket to see what was save. In one bucket held water, another with Fruits, one filled with bread, and the last with fish. She then gathered up the stuff and went to the cabinet and bent down in front of the stove to look at it in an unusual way.

"What is up with Sango? So Miroku made a mistake. Don't we all. I can't see why she would make such a big deal out of it?"

Inuyasha stopped taking a glance behind him before he continued to walk. His idea was that he believed someone or something was following him but his awareness was sharp and it didn't bother him. As he came towards a hot spring he removed both his upper and lower clothing and jumped into the springs enjoying the heat before he swam off to a rock and looked off into the night before rubbing his forehead taking away the sweat from the work. Then a wave of water moved up towards him from another direction and then glancing off to his right was a priestess covering her chest with her left hand and her lower body in the springs. Her long black hair behind her back as her auburn eyes looked at Inuyasha. He was left stunned in silence before she got even more into the water and resting up against her own boulder.

"Kikyo."

"Inuyasha. What a night it is to meet you here"

Sango leaned up from the stove holding a plate with grilled fish and breading on the side with fruits as accessories on the side to eat as water was left on the table for the two. She was so cheerful in the inside she wanted to tell Inuyasha about her day and would not hesitate to not give him her gift for coming for her. She walked over to the table sitting on one end in front of her plate then waited patiently for him. Slowly the time went by and the steam over the food was not emitting any good scent of cook food. She lowered her head onto her hands and the chain on her neck was over her wrist as she held the other piece for Inuyasha.

"What is taking him so long? Baths really don't take that much time."

She stood up from the table grabbing her portion of the food nibbling off of it before dropping the food including the plate into the trashcan. Walking over towards her bed she got on it and glanced outside looking out into the night waiting for Inuyasha to come and the time would slowly creep by. Sango now tired she lowered her head on the on her arms once again lying on her cheek going into a peaceful sleep with the blanket sliding off of her body onto the ground.

The door finally opened and as Inuyasha entered the house he was silent looking at the dark room besides how the moon radiated into the living room giving light. As he went into a small room he looked at a plate left on the table knowing that it would probably be for him then looking inside the trashcan to see another. Walking into another bedroom he seen Sango sleeping silently. Approaching her he grabbed her by the waist setting her body in a different sleeping position body length up and down the bed as the head was on the pillow. Grabbing the sheets and moving it over her he glance at the chain around her neck.

"Where did she get that from?"

Then he moved the blanket over her upper body slightly above her shoulders. As he exited the room he reached for the plate and exited the house taking a seat on the bench eating to himself then closing his eyes as he digested calmly. His mind wandered back towards Kikyo words that night.

What will Sango reaction be in the morning after being stood up by Inuyasha with her surprised dinner? What exactly did Kikyo tell Inuyasha at the springs? Will Inuyasha mention his encounter with her?
