Youkai Heart A Sango X Sesshoumaru fan fiction by Mara-san

Disclaimer: I'm not Rumiko Takahashi.

I woke up to a most horrible smell. I opened my eyes and nearly screamed. Thousands of beasts, running around screeching and squeaking. I tried to cover my nose from the stench, but my wrists were bound to something very sticky. I took in my surroundings and found I was in a canyon of some sort. I looked down below and saw Sesshoumaru take a large chunk out of the biggest spider I had ever seen.

"The beast wants me to give him our human sacrifice! Kill him! Destroy him before he steals our human!", commanded the large demon.

I gulped. Well, this isn't so good, now is it? All the demons, big and small, starting to attack Sesshoumaru. I was impressed with him, actually. He easily killed and destroyed the spiders that were comming after him. I watched with impatience and noticed Sesshoumaru was not moving as fast as he was before. Suddenly, a large spider was sneaking up behind him while he was distracted. I had to warn him.

"Sesshoumaru! Behind you!", I yelled.

He turned just in the nick of time and quickly exterminated the thing with the green whip... I smiled to myself before I heard a hiss come from above me. I looked up and saw the ugliest spider I have ever seen staring at me.

"You! I will make sure you can not warn the intruder of us that are sneaking up on him!"

I didn't understand half of what he said. That's when he climbed up a limb that the web was connected to. Hanging by a thread, it spat a liquid into my right eye.

"AAHHHH!", I screamed out in pain.

What ever he launched into my eye, it burned like Hell itself. I kept screaming in agony and didn't care at the moment if Sesshoumaru was looking. I swung my head back and forth, which only made the burning worse. I gritted my teeth and clenched my eyes tightly and the liquid got the better of my eye. Thankfully, it was only my right eye and not both of them. That's when I suddenly heard the cry of the biggest spider. My eyes snapped open to see Sesshoumaru tear through the giant spider like a fish would swim through water.

Unfortunately, I could only see with my left eye and not very well either. Squinting, I could see a white stream of light tear through the legs and the abdomen of the spider, who was crying out in agony. What was left of the spider fell to the ground with a thundering thud. From what I could see, I guessed that the rest of the spiders ran and hid after seeing what Sesshoumaru did to their leader. I closed my eyes and wrinkled my nose. If you thought they smelled bad on the outside... I heard a light growl from above me and looked up to find Sesshoumaru carefully undoing my binds.

I fell into his arms and he landed safely on the ground from what was left of the web. Sesshoumaru held my shoulders and looked me in the eyes, as if he was searching for something in them.

"Hey...Are you okay?", he asked me.

I nodded.

"I'm fine, though my eye stings like Hell...", I told him, but when I looked at him, he wasn't looking at my face...

OOO

I heard her scream. Turning, I looked back at her and saw a chuckling spider hanging from a string in front of her. In one swift movement, I terminated the thing with my whip attack. Sango looked like she was in a lot of pain; I'd have to find out after I was done killing these things. The biggest bastard was getting on my nerves with his damned taunting. So, I simply leaped over him and clawed my way through his disgusting body. After that, I got rid of his legs then finished him off.

I smirked when the other spiders ran with fear of me. Looking back at Sango, I leaped and released her from the web she was stuck to. Once we landed safely on the ground, I held her shoulders and looked into her eyes. I asked if she was alright and she nodded and began saying something else, but my eyes wondered to the exposed flesh of her chest.

The next thing I knew was that I was cradling a sore section of my face that was stinging terribly as I watched her stomp away with frustration. She was struggling to walk in a straight line, probably from whatever happened to cause her pain. I only stared at her with confusion. Why did she slap me? It's not my fault her flesh was exposed to my view.

I merely sighed before I heard the fast footsteps of a galloping horse coming our way. I turned to see a very disturbed Kaede, who stopped her horse in front of Sango.

"Come! Quickly! Monsters are attacking the village!", she called.

I perked up. Those damned joro-gumo-youkai must've taken their anger and grief out on the village. Sango got onto the horse along with Kaede. I ran along side the galloping horse towards the village and managed to pick up Sango's boomerang thing on the way there. We stopped abruptly at the edge of the village and the site we saw was quite disturbing. The joro-gumo-youkai found themselves some human prey and decided to feast and torture them.

Sango and I made eye contact. She had a serious, yet disturbed look on her face when she nodded at me. She got off of Kaede's horse and grabbed her boomerang, mumbling her thanks and going to slay the beasts. I smirked. I wasn't going to let Sango have all the fun. Running after her, I clawed my way through the beasts, slicing and dicing them with my sharp claws and strong attacks.

"Die beasts!", I exclaimed during all the excitement.

Many of the villagers were getting severely wounded and maybe even poisoned from these things. I lost Sango earlier because of how much I wanted to finish them off. A few of them cornered a couple of children and since no one else was helping them, I thought I might. With ease, I exterminated the predators and protected the children. Not too proud of myself though...

That's when I was nearly hit by Sango's boomerang. I looked at her and she looked at me with frustration written all over her face. I looked closely at her right eye and noticed something different about it: it was blank, there seemed to be no pupil. Sango stomped right past me to her weapon and picked it up. I raised a brow then shook my head, continuing the fight with the joro-gumo-youkai.

Finally, after about a hundred more killings of the stubborn things, the remaining youkai ran off again, scared for their lives. I looked around the village and noticed how many were wounded from the unexpected battle. Almost all the village people were wounded and needed help with their injuries. I sighed and helped the strongest and less wounded villagers, including Kaede and Sango, pick up and escort the more injured ones to where they could get recovered.

OOO

I sighed as I bandaged a villager's wounded arm. By now it was late afternoon and we've spent all day repairing each other and the village since dawn when the youkai decided to attack. Earlier in the day, Kaede-baasan took a look at my eye and declared it blind, giving me some medicine and one of her eye patches to wear.

"There you go. All better!", I told the villager, who declared his thanks and went to his small hut with his wife and kids.

I sighed and looked at his happy family. I remembered before my own village was destroyed how happy I was with my family. Some day, I'd like to make a family of my own. I sighed again and looked upwards toward one of the trees in the village. Sesshoumaru was sitting in one of its branches in the same way Inu-yasha did when he was sulking. Maybe that's what Sesshoumaru was doing...sulking... He's so much like his brother, yet, so different too.

I felt bad all of a sudden. Perhaps it was my fault that he was sulking? I wasn't sure, so I decided to go up to him and ask. But when I did, there was no answer from him, not even the slightest of sound. For crying out loud, he didn't even look at me! I put my hands on my hips and glowered. Fine! If he didn't want to talk to me, he didn't have to. I needed to leave anyway, since Kaede was calling me over and Jaken was starting to squawk about how it was my fault that Sesshoumaru was up in that tree.

Kaede motioned for me to come to her and I did. She smiled and handed me a bundle of red and white clothing. I blushed when I realized I was still wearing my yukata, which was basically torn to shreds. I gladly accepted the bundle and went into the hut to dress. Rin was in there, safe and sound, playing with Kirara. Thankfully, Kirara protected Rin during the battle so she wouldn't get harmed.

"You don't mind if I change in here, do you, Rin?", I asked.

"Of course not Sango-sama! We're both girls, right?"

I smiled and began to strip. I needed to bind my breasts in new cloth too, since the cloth I had on managed to get torn as well. Slowly, I unwrapped the delicate body parts and blushed slightly when I saw Rin staring at me very intently.

"Will my breasts get as big as yours some day, Sango-sama?"

That was probably the most embarrassing question any one has asked me in my entire life. I blushed and quickly finished wrapping my chest up.

"Well, I don't know Rin... It's hard to tell...", I stuttered as I quickly got dressed.

I felt strange in the new clothes. They were the same as Kikyo's and Kaede's. That's probably why I felt strange in them. I left the hut in a hurry and walked up behind Kaede.

"Can I help you with anything, Kaede-baasan?"

"Well, there's nothing really to do. All the villagers have been bandaged and fixed and Sesshoumaru's 'hut' is prepared..."

"Wait, what? Sesshoumaru's hut?", at this point, I was rather confused.

"Yes, his hut. Sesshoumaru requested that he sleep in his own dormitory tonight. So, we fixed up the shed and made it into a mini hut for Sesshoumaru to use.", she explained and went on with her business of going through and organizing her herbs.

I couldn't believe it. So Sesshoumaru was sulking that much? Gee, now I feel really bad. I walked up to the tree he was in and looked up at him. Again, he seemed unresponsive, not even acknowledging the fact that I was standing under him, waiting for a response from him.

"Sesshoumaru...?", I asked quietly, so as not to wake Jaken, who decided to go to sleep against the trunk of the tree.

Not a single response. I grew a bit frustrated with him ignoring me. I picked up a rock and chucked it at him, having it miss him by a long shot because my good eye was blinded. Finally, he responded by looking at me with an emotionless glare. I gulped slightly. He then decided to ignore me again and looked away.

"Hey!", I yelled at him, "What is wrong? Why are you sulking?"

Jaken jolted up from his sleep and got to his feet, holding his stick with the heads on it.

"Don't question Sesshoumaru-sama! Be respectful, wench!"

Suddenly, an apple come from the tree and hit Jaken square on the head, knocking him out cold. Curiously, I looked up and saw Sesshoumaru looking at the coming sunset. I smirked. The apple didn't just fall, considering they don't fall this early in the season. I took a step closer to him and asked more politely,

"Please tell me why you are sulking..."

Again, no response. I sighed and turned to walk away. If he didn't want to talk, he didn't have to talk. Suddenly, an apple flew by my head, nearly hitting it. I turned and glared at Sesshoumaru, who was watching my every move with an emotionless expression. I smirked and picked up the apple, examining it before walking back to him.

"Did you drop this?", I asked childishly, holding the apple up to him.

He snorted and dropped down from the tree. I smirked, knowing I won the battle with his silence. He took the apple from my hand, remaining emotionless, and took a big bite out of the juicy fruit. He chewed the bite and swallowed, as if it were against his own will or some thing. He then smirked and tossed the apple over his shoulder. The smirk disappeared as he walked past me and towards the hut.

I sighed and watched him go. I stayed behind and moped slightly as I sat on a large rock next to the tree. I smacked my neck when I felt some thing bite it and found that it was only Myouga. He looked up at me as I held him in my hand.

"Don't worry about Sesshoumaru-sama. He's just going through a phase of some sort and will be back to normal in a jiffy!", he assured.

I sighed and turned to look in the direction Sesshoumaru went in. I dropped Myouga and walked back to Kaede's hut. I entered the small building and was welcomed by the delicious smell of Kaede's cooking. She handed me a bowl of the broth and I ate it with delight. But, some thing wasn't right. Every one was here, except for Sesshoumaru.

By the time I finished, it was dark. Sesshoumaru must've gone to bed in the make-shift hut. I wanted to bring him some of the food and I wanted to see how he was doing. I filled a bowl with broth and left for Sesshoumaru's hut, which was next to Kaede's hut, considering it used to be a shed. Balancing the bowl in one hand, I knocked on the shed door with the other.

There was no response. I sighed and figured he didn't want to be disturbed. I turned to leave when the door suddenly opened. I turned around and blushed slightly to see Sesshoumaru's bare and muscular upper body. I silently cursed myself for the sudden naughty thoughts that popped into my head. Sesshoumaru looked at me then moved out of the door way.

"Come on in...", he invited.

I stepped in and closed the door behind me, all the while balancing the bowl in one hand.

"I brought you some food, just in case you were hungry...", I told, holding out the bowl to him as I sat on one side of the small fire he had made.

He sat right across from me and reached over the glowing flames for the bowl. He studied it then steadily ate the broth in silence. I twirled and toyed with my fingers while I waited for him to finish. I had so many things to ask him, but I wasn't sure how I would put them or how he'd react to them. Moments went by before he placed the empty bowl down next to the fire. He then looked right at me with eyes that held no expression.

"You look different in those clothes... You almost look like a young Kaede or some thing..."

I blushed. I guess I kind of did, didn't I? I mean, I am wearing an eye patch and the same clothes as her. I sighed and stared into the flames, my mind wondering to other thoughts. I sighed and figured Sesshoumaru was getting bored with my silence. I stood and walked towards the door. Before I left, I turned and looked back at Sesshoumaru. He wasn't there! That's when I heard a noise from behind me.

OOO

When she fell silent and stared into the flames, that's when I decided to make my move. I waited until she stood and turned around. I stood up and made sure I stayed out of her sight as I slipped behind her and locked the shed door. She wiped around and looked at me, fear and confusion in that uncovered eye of hers. She started to back away from me as I walked towards her.

I grabbed her before she walked into the fire, spun her around so that she was facing away from me and wrapped my arms tightly around her arms and stomach. She squirmed a bit, a sorry attempt to escape.

"W-What are you doing...?", she asked in a staggering voice.

I held her close to me as we stood there, facing the fire. She fidgeted uncomfortably as I tried my best to control the inner demon that wanted so badly to fuck. I only chuckled when she tried another sorry attempt to squirm away.

"Sesshoumaru...?"

I smirked.

"Tell me something Sango...", I began, "Whatever happened to 'Sesshou-kun'?", I asked, smirking again when I heard her gasp.

Again, she squirmed weakly. We both knew she could easily get away if she really wanted to. I merely tightened my grip on her and asked her again,

"Whatever happened to 'Sesshou-kun'?"

OOO
