How fond, how grateful that he laid one finger on me. How amazing, the way his touch lifted me to the skies…How perfect……

Yet again this had been the day where I was gratefully challenged in love…I watched the flames of the fire rise, and didn't bother to do anything; Not one thing. He sat there not saying a word; the dread of the silence disturbed us both. Apologizing was the least I wanted him to do. Oh I wanted more! I wanted him to pay back for everything he's done. I wanted him to suffer the way I did. Pitiful how one man can change your whole aspect on life! I wanted him to pay back big time. All I did was watch; all I had done was watch him for several minutes. We never said anything. 'Oh Save it.' Was the best I could say? Save what? What was there left to save? My mending heart had been broken to start with, and now it's been swept away by the breeze. I was the walking dead. No more emotion, no nothing because I fell in love with that dickhead. He shuffled in his position. He sat in the same position for a while, and he never managed to budge until now. I let my eyes wander in a slow matter, so he couldn't notice I was watching him. I could swear he didn't notice, but I may have been wrong. He crossed his legs like always. The perfect fragments of his chest stretched as he leaned against the tree behind him. He looked at the flames emotionless, and sighed. He sighed as if there was nothing coming out of his mouth. No air, no nothing… I swallowed hard, and in that brief moment, he looked at me. My body tensed, and my jaw tightened. I pressed my lips together when he glared at me. I glared back. How dare he be mad at me, when every bad thing that's happened was to me, not him! I got up angry, and walked over to him. He looked up a bit surprised, but his straight mouth line, curved into a smug smirk. I leaned in front of him and pushed him against the tree. His back hit it softly. The thud didn't sound painful, but pleasant, as if he were teasing me.

"Don't do that!" I told him. He leaned in front of me.

"Don't do what?" He asked. I waved my hands in the air.

"Don't smile like that at me!" He smirked. "You're doing it again!" I pointed at his face. He took my hand and roughly pushed it down. My throat began to clog.

"You amuse me Sango." He whispered. I opened my mouth to say something, but shut it soon after. The only thing that came to mind was to push him again, so I gave him a shove, a bit harder this time, but as he banged against the tree bark, he clutched onto me, and brought me with him. I collided with his chest. He embraced me - His harsh claws mending on my stitches. I struggled to get out of his embrace, but he was too strong. It felt like the time when I'd struggle to get him off me, back before our battle.

"Let me go." I forced the words out in a cry. He held onto me tighter.

"No." He simply said. I felt my anger build in, and I felt for the tree in between his arms. I felt the tips of the bark, and pushed my palm into it, trying to get out of his grasp. There was no use. I ended up with a sharp sliver, which made my whole body tense. One ounce of blood dropped to the ground, and Inuyasha's ears twitched. He looked down at my finger, and inhaled my blood. He let go of his embrace, and gripped the dirt. I backed away slowly trying to feel the ground petrified. I sat on my knees, and leaned over in front of him. He shut his eyes, and began sweating. I pressed my lips together, and sighed. My shoulder hurt, I couldn't lie, and the sliver in my finger craved a new bruise, but that wasn't bothering me…What was really on my mind, was what was wrong with Inuyasha. The smell of my blood, the feeling of my skin, it hurt him. Was this all lust? Was there a sensitive bliss behind him…? Ever since the first day when I blushed in front of him, had he began to change… And I was the only one who noticed this?

(A Flashback onto the first chapter guys! Hah, didn't think I'd let you forget that would I?)

I watched him, as the sunlight reflected onto his face

'He looks so beautiful' I thought, causing me to blush again… 'Shit' I cursed. Inuyasha caught my cheeks going red.

'What the hell?' He thought.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked me. I winced…

(Back to the normal chapter)

I felt a smug smirk build its way across my lips. He looked up at me and inhaled. I shut my eyes, and sighed. It felt so right before, when he didn't know that I liked him. It was so much easier. Kagome didn't even know that I liked him… If only I could erase this past, and start out fresh. I swayed the other way, so I was looking back at the fire. I shut my eyes, and began to count in my head. I felt his eyes on me, tracing my every movement. The surge of pain came back in my throat, and I fought the urge to cry; one last time. I wouldn't bare it any longer. I was weak. I had fought, and fought all this time, convincing myself that I didn't love him, and that everything would go back to normal. Boy was I wrong!

I stood up, and did the only thing I could. I harshly brushed the tears that were falling down, and I turned around to glare at him one last time. He was only looking at me, as if he were watching death. I smiled, and then jolted towards the woods.

My hair swayed back, and the tears were streaming down my face continuously. I felt my heart pound deep inside, and it made my body cold. I ran past trees, slamming into them too. I heard Inuyasha yelling out my name, and I could hear the sound of him running towards me. I was going to get caught. He yelled out my name again, and I couldn't help but let out a cry. The tender sob crept down my spine.

"Leave me alone!" I screamed. It felt as if the words twirled around me. "I can't stand it anymore!" I screamed one last time, and that's when I felt him grasp onto my wrist. He pulled me to a stop. I turned around, and began to pound on his chest. "Let me go!" I screamed. He pulled me, by holding onto my shoulders.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?!" He yelled in my face. "Do you want to die?" I shook my head, and squirmed at his touch. He dug his claws accidentally in my flesh. "What the hell's the matter with you?!" He asked, "Stop running away like an idiot!"

"NO!" I screamed, and slapped him across the face. He instantly let me go, and I turned around to run again.

As I ran deeper within the forest I heard Inuyasha running again. The tears kept streaming down my face, and I kept wiping them away with my sleeve. My legs wanted to surrender, but my heart wasn't willing to quit on me yet. Within seconds, Inuyasha caught me, and pinned me against a tree.

I looked into his eyes, and he was furious. He pinned my hands above my head, so I didn't try to escape again. I saw the small red outline of my palm on his cheek. I shut my eyes, and looked away. He grunted, and breathed on my face. I let out a loud breath, and looked back up at him.

"You give up yet?!" He yelled in my face. I shook my head, and tried to knee him in the stomach. He responded, by pulling me away from the tree, and slamming me against another tree. "What about now?!" He asked me again; his voice hard and solid.

"Go away." I whispered, breathing heavily. He shook his head, and stepped closer in to meet my face. I squirmed, and stepped on his right toe.

As I tried to escape, he caught me, and turned me around.

"Idiot!" He yelled in my face. We both clutched hard onto one another. He dug his claws deeper in my flesh, and I tightened my grip on his shoulders. "JUST GIVE UP!" He yelled. I let the last tear fall down my cheek before I screamed the words in his face.

"I LOVE YOU!"

I finally gave up… His lips were on mine, the moment that he heard the words. I grasped onto his shoulders harder and lifted myself up on my tip-toes. He took his claws out of my scars, and held me by my cheeks, pressing his tongue deeper within my mouth. From the pressure that was being placed on me, I began to walk backwards, and stopped when my back met another tree. I swung my arms over his neck, enjoying the moment, with pleasure. As soon as I got comfortable, he congested the kiss.

"What's happening to us?" He whispered in my ear. I opened my mouth to speak, but he reached in, and stroked my lips with his bottom lip. "We shouldn't be doing this." The sound of me gasping for air, echoed in the forest. I managed to fall down on my heels, and I opened my eyes. He was staring at me in concern.

Instead of trying to run away like an idiot; again… I stood there looking at him. It took a while for me to say something, but directly I couldn't. Instead I shook my head and touched my lips. I heard him chuckle softly.

He took my fingers off my lips and let his lips stroke my bottom lip again. I could feel his breath go in me, and I shivered in delight. "Sango…" He whispered my name. I winced.

"Inuyasha…" I whispered without trying to. He sighed,

"I think I love you…"
