Chapter Eight:

After a long day of traveling and only collecting three Shikon shards, the Inutachi found themselves in a village that the headman said was being harassed by a fire demon. 'A fire demon? Maybe Emiko's the demon, and that's why I had those dreams last night.' Kazuo wondered, he was too busy thinking that he didn't notice that Sango was looking at him with a slight blush on her face.

'I know he doesn't remember or know he did it because he wasn't fully woken up yet when it happened, but I can't help but think about that kiss!' Sango thought as she tried not to touch her lips as she remembered the kiss.

Waking up and looking around at her surroundings Sango noticed two things that it was still night time but she could morning sky start to blend in and that she was snuggled close to Kazuo in his sleeping bag.

She didn't remember when she had climbed into his sleeping bag with him, but she knew she had down it in her sleep because of her nightmare about Kohaku. 'Why do I always go to Kazuo and not Miroku? It's not like I like him, do I?' She wondered and was broken out of her thoughts when she felt Kazuo begin to wake up a little.

She heard him mumble a little in his sleep and leaned closer to him wanting to know what he said when he leaned forward and kissed her. Her eyes widened in surprise. 'My first kiss!' She thought as Kazuo pulled back and snuggled close to her, clearly going back to sleep as he mumbled something about a firey demon's cute temper.

She didn't move until the others woke up, the only thing she could think about was how red her face must have been and the kiss.

She was broken out of her thoughts when Kagome asked her if she wanted to go to the hot springs. "Um, sure." She told her as she grabbed her stuff and Hirakotsu and followed behind her with Kilala.

Once they got to the hot spring, Kagome and Sango set their things down. "Are you okay?" Kagome asked her as she stripped and got into the hot spring. "I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?" Sango asked as she did the same.

"It's just you've been quiet all day, and every time I look at you, you're either looking down at the floor or seem to be in deep thought. Did something happened?" Kagome asked her worriedly. "No well, yes but you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone," Sango told Kagome.

After seeing her nod, Sango sighed and began to tell her about what happened between her and Kazuo and how she was now confused about her feelings for him. As she was telling Kagome, neither of them noticed the fire demon that has been harassing the village sneak up on them until she was sinking into the water beside them and spoke.

"He sounds like an old lover of mine, but his name was Bankotsu." The demon spoke. She watched amusedly as both Kagome and Sango tensed. "If I wanted to kill you I would have already done it." She said when she saw Sango reach for her Hirakotsu.

"Then what do you want?" Sango asked her as she glared at her, still having her arm posed to grab Hirakotsu if she needed to. "At first I only came to enjoy the hot spring just like you two but, now I want to know more about this Kazuo fellow you were speaking about." She told them with a slight smirk that turned into a frown when she heard Sango snort.

"Fine! If you don't want to tell me I'll find out for myself!" She snarled before she dashed out of the hot spring not bothering to put her clothes back on.
