And I come barring an update! Enjoy and please remember to review!
Chapter four
Marching down the hallway, Sango pushed through her fellow students with no hesitation. She was a girl on a mission of great importance.
'Where is she?'
Breaking out into a light jog, she hopped down a flight of stairs, weaving and bending through the crowd.
Scanning the girls hurriedly, watching out for the black haired porcelain doll. Looking for that aura for sunset pink. That girl that glowed with the emotion of a spiritual ghost. Kagome Higurashi.
Yes, Sango knew the girl was a Miko. Her training in demon slaying gave her the ability to differentiate those for dark and light. This girl was visible to her well learned inner eye. The misty haze that flared around the girl was impossible to miss. Her presence was difficult to ignore but she hadn't see the Miko since that day in the dining hall. The day that her friend Inuyasha watched her with an intense gaze of emotion.
'I need her… I need to tell her-'
"Sango-chan!"
Ignoring the call, Sango continued on her way, leaving a very confused looking monk at the top of the fleet of stairs.
"Sango-chan?" Miroku murmured to himself watching the girl disappear in a hurry.
What was going on? He understood Inuyasha's issue with the human girl but what problems were plaguing his dear sweet Sango?
Shaking his head and turning the other way, the dark haired boy went in the opposite direction. There was no point in chasing the girl down. Sango was obviously determined and it's never a smart thing to stand between her and whatever it is she seeks.

Sighing in relief and stretching out on the soft lawn, Kagome fell back and stared up at the crisp blue sky. Good, she had been able to go through the entire day without seeing the strange boy.
Her heart skipped a beat at the thought. That beautiful and daring boy. His boldness and perfection, utterly inconceivable.
She would be fine without seeing him ever again. She did not like being torn from her comfort zone so unannounced.
"Why me?" whispering aloud to herself.
"Why do I have to be the prey of such a demanding demon?"
"Be careful Kagome Higurashi. You are a great holder of the ancient power of light. The very essence of purity. Do not heed for one moment that he will not attempt to steal that from you. It's in his nature as it is in yours if you do not keep a level head upon your shoulders."
Sometimes it was confusing reading in between Mr. Myoga's words. All this talk of purity and "His nature", light and dark. It just didn't seem realistic. It was too fictional for her tastes. She just couldn't wrap a sane thought around it.
"This is modern day Japan. Things like this don't happen." Kagome grumbled.
"OI! HIGURASHI!"
Kagome didn't bother to glance up. So many people had been interrogating her lately, especially the women population of her school. They all seemed so obsessed over the boy and extremely clueless like herself as to why it was happening to her.
"Higurashi!"
Kagome nervously flickered an eye open. Self consciously patting her skirt and straightening her blouse. A tall girl loomed over her. Terrified, Kagome shot up and bowed her head to the towering girl. Probably another Inuyasha Takahashi fan looking to start trouble…
I'm too much of a lover to be a fighter! What if she attacks me! She would probably destroy me! She's worth ten of me! At least the other girl's I can hide form when I'm inside the school! Oh god why did I come outside today? Why did I even wake up this morning!!
"Yes?" Kagome squeaked not daring to make eye contact with the possible enemy.
"You are Kagome Higurashi, correct?" The girl's question was completely pointless.
Obviously Kagome had already acknowledged herself as being Higurashi and not to mention, the unmistakeable differences between Kagome and other girls…The amazing aura only a one of many physical traits.
"Yes."
The girl smiled weakly and tumbled down onto a patch of grass next to Kagome. Her long brown hair fanning out like a blanket.
"My name is Sango Tahoma."
Kagome wasn't sure where this was going. Would a future murderer be so polite?
Kagome nodded her head gently, her hands fumbling in her lap. The perspiration forming on the back of her neck was chilling against the cool air.
"I'm a friend of Inuyasha Takahashi."
Here we go, prepare yourself for the blow…
Kagome literally almost braced herself but her body was so weak all she could to was fall back onto the ground and blink up at the clouds.
"I don't know him well." Kagome began.
"And what passed b-between us was very u-unexpected."
Sango let out a cheery laugh.
"Yes. So I've heard but either way," Her voice harshening into a strict and serious tone.
"I would like to warn you."
Kagome felt tears well in her eyes. She couldn't deal with all these girls anymore. Confessing their love of Inuyasha Takahashi and threatening poor little her. She didn't want this anymore. She just wanted to back to being invisible!
"I'm s-sorry Miss Sango Tahoma, I do not wish anything of Inuyasha Takahashi! You can have him! I want nothing to do with him and I will not stand in your way! There is no need to worry about me. Please don't hurt me!" Kagome's voice shook and her finger nails dug deeply into her own skin.
Sango felt her jaw twitch and a bout of uncontrollable laughter emerged from her chest. Tears streaming down her face and her cheeks turning a pleasant dusty rose.
"I don't love him! God I can barely stay in the same room as him! That ego of his is suffocating!" Sango spluttered through waves of giggles.
"I only wanted to warn you that he…" Sango felt herself frown.
Looking to the girl who's skin was a pasty white and her eyes bruising underneath. She looked helpless and scared.
"Have you slept lately Kagome?" Sango questioned kindly, worry dripping from her tone.
Kagome shook her head gently, closing her eyes and reopening them quickly. Just the thought of sleep brought unsettling dreams of the half demon. Not nightmares but extremely personal and horrifying dreams with situations she dare not think of!
"No, I haven't been able to."
"Because of him?" Sango continued comfortingly.
Nodding, Kagome turned her face hiding the red glow of embarrassment. The grass tickling her ears that were burning from this unexpected talk.
"Well. As much as I'd like to tell you things like what happened won't happen again… I hate lying. Inuyasha… When he wants something he gets it. And I just wanted to warn you that I've seen the way he looks at you. You should embrace this time you have without him because soon he will be drawn back to you… The only reason nothing has happen lately is because he still needs to figure things out for himself… He's as lost as you are." Sango paused for a moment, placing her index finger to her chin and pondering.
"In fact I think he's suffering just as much as you. It works both ways you know. He's told me all about what that old bug Myoga said. The way I see it is that you two are inevitably connected. Uncontrollably intertwined. Undeniably attracted to each other." Sango stopped once more to giggle.
"It's like the plot line of a horrible romance novel! Just don't give into him. You're your own girl. Never let any man take that away from you"
Kagome allowed herself a tiny smile but it quickly vanished. She of course knew all of this and this "time" she had to herself. She was wasting in wondering when he would strike…as for being her own girl…Kagome couldn't even begin to think of fighting the half demon off, the thought terrified her.
Sango quickly grew sorry for her straight forward comment and diverted the conversation to less personal aspects. The two chattered for an hour or so. Or at least Sango ranted and rambled on of her dramatic life and Kagome listened quietly, inserting a few well chosen comments and smiling in all the right places.
When Sango stood up to leave she couldn't help but feel a deep emotion for the girl. She was so shy and sweet. Extremely timid and had a bad case of nerves but other than that a very warm girl. It wasn't just the powerful warmth of Miko cleansing. Her spirit was pure of course but her heart was just as warm and welcoming.
Sango returned to the school in a separate direction then Kagome. Yes, Sango had a new fondness for the girl.
Racing back into the school Sango found herself a new mission. Yelling back at the rude kids this time, she released her malice on the unsuspecting teenagers.
"OUT OF MY GOD DAMN WAY!"
"Sango-chan!" Miroku said with a bright smile, the brown haired demon exterminator rushing past him not saying a word.
Yes, the girl he was in love with totally returned the feeling… She was so in love with him…
Sighing and bowing his head, Miroku turned around and walked to his dorm room in a gloomy state. That girl really knew how to depress him.
"INUYASHA!" Sango screamed, screeching to a halt in front of his locker.
The silver haired boy lazily closed the metal door and locked it. Turning his golden eyes to the girl, Sango almost gasped aloud. They were dull and cold. She felt as if her breath was stolen from the … hatred inside them.
"I saw you talking to her." His voice was a low rumble.
"So what? I can talk to who ever I feel like." Sango growled at the boy.
Narrowing his eyes and slamming his fist against the locker, Inuyasha glared at Sango.
"Mind you own Business Tahoma. She has nothing to do with you, she doesn't need corruptive people like you wasting her time."
Sango felt her face heat in anger. How dare he!
"Me corruptive?! You're the one who nearly jumped her bloody bones! She's terrified of you! You've traumatized her! And I'm the bad influence? She's my friend now whether you like it or not and I'm not going to let you hurt her!" Sango seethed.
Inuyasha pushed past the girl roughly, his footsteps echoing throughout the empty hallway.
"Stay away from her." His voice was possessive and order like.
"SHE DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU INUYASHA! She isn't yours…to keep away." Sango said frowning, clutching her stomach.
"Yes she is." He stated calmly, disappearing around the corner.
Sango let out a distressed sound and stomped her foot. What got into him?! Her corruptive?! HOW COULD SHE POSSIBLY BE CORRUPTIVE!

Inuyasha slammed his dorm room door loudly. The hinged whined and the door knob shuddered.
Sango was too much of a strong headed girl. He didn't need her filling Kagome's head with nonsense. He didn't need Kagome denying him…She was his toy. His thirst and hunger. She isn't allowed to have the mind to fight back. Certainly when he hasn't even started yet.
Let me just say… Sanago's character is gaining some significance if you can guess how and yes her relationship with Inuyasha has completely vanished due to her want to protect Kagome. Interesting? I think so! LOVING YOU ALL! REVIEW!
