Chapter six
"I can't believe I said that in front of him!" Sango said while running in the forest. She continued to run for a while continually saying how she was really stupid. After a while she reached a clearing in the woods and saw a stump. I need to think things over. She then went to the stump and sat on it with a sigh. "What's he going to think about me now, Kilala?"
"Mew." was the two tail's response. Attempting to comfort her mistress, she rubbed her head against her side and purred.
"Thanks, Kilala. I just don't know what to do now. I lost my family and my brother to Naraku. Kagome's going to hate me now for liking Inuyasha. Miroku isn't going to look at me the same again, and Inuyasha is going to ignore me!" she said trying to keep the tears from spilling over. "And I've come to see Rin as a little sister, and if Inuyasha avoids me, then she may avoid me too." Sango cried. "Oh Kilala, I don't think my heart can take anymore loneliness if that happened!" That was it. The floodgates were open and she started crying tears of sadness and fear. She buried her face in Kilala's fur and continued to cry. At least I still have Kilala. She thought sadly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Inuyasha, why'd you stop?" Rin asked after Inuyasha had suddenly stopped. Inuyasha held up his index finger to her face to quiet her. She quieted and then nodded her head, meaning she understood what he meant with that gesture. He pointed to the clearing where Sango and Kilala were currently residing.
"What's wrong with Sango?" Rin asked.
"She's crying." Inuyasha said with a confused look on his face. Why's is she crying?
"How do you know?" Rin asked. All she saw was Sango's head buried in the two-tailed's fur, as if she were sleeping.
Inuyasha tapped his nose and said, "I can smell it."
"oh." Was her answer before she jumped off his back and started for the clearing.
"Wait!" he half-shouted to the girl, but it was too late.
"What's wrong Sango?" Rin asked the still crying Sango. She looked up, surprised.
Good thing it was Rin, I wasn't completely aware of my surroundings. A demon might've attacked or worse, Inuyasha might've come. Sango furiously wiped her eyes to get rid of the tears on her face and answered, "Nothing's wrong, Rin."
"Then why were you crying?"
"I wasn't" Sango said, trying to convince the girl.
"Don't lie to Rin, Sango." Inuyasha said, stepping into the clearing. "Why'd you run away?"
Sango bent her head down so her bangs covered her sad eyes. "It's stupid." She answered.
"What's stupid? Liking me? Am I that disgusting of a creature, that it's stupid to like me? Is it because I'm a stupid half-breed?" He yelled.
"No!" she yelled back. "No, it's not like that."
"Well then, what is it that caused to run away from me?" he said, holding back his anger.
"I already told you." She whispered. "It's stupid."
"Well, tell me anyways. I'm stupid too, maybe I'll understand." Inuyasha reasoned. He was getting desperate. He wanted to know why she was crying, and most importantly, he wanted to know why she ran away.
"Alright." She said and picked up Rin and put her on her knee, perhaps as a shield to protect her from Inuyasha, she wasn't sure how he would react.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It started last night." Sango began. "I happened to be awake when Rin got up and walked to where you were sitting, she asked if she could sleep with you, and I expected you to send her back to her own bed. You really surprised when you said yes." Sango smiled a bit. "And you surprised me again when she climbed onto your lap and you didn't object. I then imagined you being a great father…" Sango paused a bit. She was trying to gather a little courage. "And, I don't know why, but I imagined me as the mother of your children. Childish, huh?" She asked rhetorically. She gave a sad laugh when she imagined little Inuyasha's and Sango's running around. She immediately darkened when she saw those images disappear. She decided that she should continue. "Then, when I woke up, I saw the cute sight of Rin sleeping with you. I couldn't help but get a closer look. You guys looked so content, I was kind of jealous. I wanted to be happy too, so I began to rub your ears. But when I rubbed them, you began to purr!" She laughed. She looked at Inuyasha. He looked kind of surprised. I guess he doesn't know that he can purr. She thought laughing inside her head.
How can I purr? I'm part dog, not a damn cat! He grumbled at that thought.
"I continued to rub your ears, and you looked to happy, I've never seen you like that, and I was glad that I gave you that happiness." She then hugged Rin. Rin sensing Sango might need the comfort, hugged her back. "Then you woke up and seemed annoyed with Rin and me rubbing your ears. It seemed you didn't want the happiness." Sango frowned.
"That was my fault, Sango" Rin said. "I was jealous because you got to touch his ears."
What's so damn special about my ears?
"Then Rin slipped out of her clothes." Rin turned bright red at that comment. "Then I kept liking you more and more when I put your jacket on her to look like a dress. She looked like you in a way." She smiled at the now less red Rin "In this short amount of time you treated her like a daughter and well, I wanted to help out. So, I opted to get Rin a new dress, so Kagome wouldn't sit you over that matter again." Inuyasha flinched at the word; he then felt he wasn't in any danger so he motioned her to continue. "However, Kagome got a kimono that looked like mine for Rin, saying it looked cute on her. She also said if you thought Rin looked cute." She paused, looked at Rin and whispered, "Then you would think I looked cute too. She got my hopes up though, because when we left, you looked furious when we met up with you. But when Rin went to you, you looked so happy, but still mad at us. And then the stupid monk had to say she could be my daughter and Shippo said you were the father. I then got so frustrated and blurted all that stuff I was keeping inside of me." She then laughed a little. "And when I saw that look on your face, I couldn't help but run. I ruined what small chance I had by scaring you to make a choice, and you'd probably wouldn't want to be my friend anymore, and when I realized that if we weren't friends then we couldn't be more than friends." Sango then began to cry again and buried her head into Rin's shoulder. Rin hugged Sango in an attempt to comfort her. Sango then heard footsteps. Great, I scared him away. The next thing surprised her. Inuyasha didn't walk away, but came up behind her and hugged her.
"You're an idiot" Inuyasha said. "Why would I abandon a friend?" Sango opened her mouth to say something, but Inuyasha cut her off. "I also wouldn't want to deprive Rin of a mother figure." Rin brightened.
"What about Kagome?" Sango asked, instantly losing hope.
"She's to immature, plus I think Rin likes you more. Don't you Rin?" Rin happily nodded. Then Inuyasha asked Rin that would make or break Sango. "Rin, would you like to be part of our dysfunctional family?" he said, looking at Rin while holding Sango. Rin had tears in her eyes, hardly anyone took care of her since her family died, now she had a family. She cried and hugged both of them. "So, is that a yes?" Inuyasha asked the both of them. Sango then nodded her head yes and cried too. She had a family again.
"Hey Sango?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yes?" Sango answered; a little fearful of what he might say next.
"I'm sorry." Sango got scared. He was going to leave her and take Rin away.
"You're going to have to wait on the marriage part. Can't we be better friends first?" he wasn't going to leave her alone, she was a little disappointed that he didn't want to be more than friends right now, but happy all the same. She nodded her yes and smiled.
It's better than nothing.
A/N: Wow. That was sappy. I sure hope this story is grammatically right. Well this chapter finally came out with a lot of delays. I had the stupid thought in my head "People aren't reviewing. Why should I continue to write." Then I read some stories that had less review than I did, and those stories were quite good. So now I'm thinking who cares, I'm going to continue to write because people are still reading this story. The next chapter will come out late, maybe around Christmas (T-T) However, that might change, depending on how many reviews I get (wink wink) well, until next time!
Peace!
