The Other Side

Chapter 17

Sango's Guilt Trip

Sango had managed to find her way to the courtyard; Miroku had been gone for over a couple of hours. What was so important that he couldn't have brought Kagome with him? She grumbled her way outside; taking note that it was mid-day already. She found him with Inuyasha, who was chatting with the children, who were in a barrier. Kagome was nowhere to be seen. "So you decided to have fun without me? Thanks."

"Oh cut the crap Sango," Inuyasha snarled at her as her jaw dropped. "Did you forget how distressed Kagome has been lately? Hello, she just suddenly turned into a demon and you have the nerve to hate her for simply ignoring you for a couple of days?" Apparently, Miroku had told Inuyasha how she was feeling. She didn't like that one bit though.

"What of it? It's not fair, she's our friend and she goes off by herself to do god knows what while we suffer."

"Suffer? How are we suffering? From what I can tell, the only one suffering is you since you refuse to allow anyone to go near you. I'm surprised the men here haven't killed you with the way your aura is acting." Inuyasha was harsh; Miroku gaped at this.

"I don't know if you have noticed or not but the demons here want nothing to do with us humans, Inuyasha! We are treated like shit by the way. Miroku doesn't seem as affected as I originally thought as I am. I am hurt by all of this and I think it would be best if I leave." Miroku gaped at her this time.

"Sango, how long have you been thinking of this?" Miroku asked as she turned to him softly.

"Since we got here; I don't fit in."

"Neither do I but I'm not throwing a fit cause I can't get my way. Sango, this is ridiculous." Inuyasha voiced in agreement.

"Ridiculous? You're taking his side? You're taking the demons' side?"

Inuyasha felt hurt suddenly. "So, that's what I am to you? I'm just a demon? My feelings don't matter to you it seems. My human side doesn't matter to you."

"No, Inuyasha, I-"

"Forget it. Fine, leave. I'll tell Sesshomaru and InuKimi to make sure that you aren't allow to come back here." Miroku sighed.

"You're going to ask Sesshomaru what?" They turned to see Sesshomaru walking side by side with who they thought was Kagome. The ears and tail threw them off. "What's going on, what happened?"

"Sango wants to leave. Apparently, she feels that she is suffering because you have been ignoring her and she can't handle everyone making her feel like she is shit," Inuyasha explained before hopping into the tree they were all around.

Kagome's ears flattened against her head as her tail wrapped around her in comfort. "Sango, is that how you feel? I'm sorry, I didn't mean for any of this to happen." She sniffed as Sango's heart broke. "But you are right; I'll go say goodbye to InuKimi and head out." She strolled over to the children, allowing the barrier to fall before walking away to the manor.

Sango had a look of horror on her face. She looked to the males, they were glaring at her, including Sesshomaru and the kids. Then she looked back to Kagome's retreating figure, calling out to her. "Kagome! No!" She ran to her as she flung herself to the woman. Both women got knocked to the ground as Sango sobbed. "I'm sorry; I just miss you. I have no one to talk to. I'm sorry!"

Kagome looked up to her friend, tears silently falling down her face too before she head-butted Sango in the face. She chuckled, resting her forehead against hers as well. Before either could react, they heard Shippo call out, "Dog pile on Kagome!"

Shippo had grabbed Rin's hand and flew them against the women. All thoughts and feelings of sadness turned into laughter as the kids and Sango tickled Kagome, making her squeal.

"Girls, I'll never understand girls," Inuyasha mumbled as Miroku chuckled.

"Only because you have only been with two; you need more women in your life my friend."

"I most definitely do not need more. Right now, two are enough."

"Miko." One word and Kagome froze. "Come, we have much to discuss." He waited until she was no longer under her friends and walked away with her following quickly.

"What just happened?" The adults voiced together.
