It was a week since that horrible day with Miroku. Sango sat on her bed thinking about the man she loved...no...used to love. She cried alot lately, wishing he would hold her and whisper things to her. Just being there for comfort. She needed some air. She needed to be away from the house for a while. She grabbed her jacket and head out the door.

She walked around Tokyo for a bit to get her mind off things. She used to love to window shop and look at the large buildings that surrounded her. She found a small cafe and claimeda seat at one of the tables. She was'nt hungry, but she needed to sit and think. She sighed heavily and burried her face in her sleeve.

She was'nt far from falling asleep when she heard a voice over head. "Sango, Is that you?" The voice asked. She rose up and saw that Tetsu was standing before her with a very worried expression.

"Mr. Nakamura. Hello!" Sango said witha fake smile as she bowed to Miroku's former boss. Sango realized that she should hate him. Sure, Miroku was out of line for yelling at him, but he bribed Miroku with money. Sango kept her cool and just decided not to overreact.

"Oh please my dear Sango, call me Tetsu!" He laughed, placing a hand on her shoulder. Sango was in no mood to even smile. She just sighed sadly and let her head hang. "So, how is Miroku?" Tetsu asked.

"I...don't know...wer'e not together anymore..." Sango choked, her eyes forming tears that soon ran down her face.Sango stopped crying when she felt Tetsus strong arms around her. Sango cried against his broad shoulders, thanking him for the comfort. She pulled away and dried her eyes."I'm sorry. I got make up all over your clean shirt."

Tetsu only gave her a comforting smile and helped her whipe her tears with a small rag he had in his back pocket."Thank you. It's been so hard for me lately, I have been holding those tears back for so long that I couldn't take it any more." She choked, forcing a smile.

"I don't like this."Tetsu sneered stubbornly,childishly. " I won't have you hurt like this. Please, come stay with me." He whispered, stroking her arm softly. Sango glanced up and let her brown eyes get lost in his stormy gray ones. This was the first time Sango had ever gotten lost like that since she had been with Miroku. She pulled away, remembering who Tetsu was to Miroku.

"Please,Sango,I will take care of you.I will keep you safe.Please." Tetsu moaned and began playing with her hair, brushing it behind her ears. "It looks good like that."

"Thank you." Sango whispered back, smiling...for real this time. She couldn't help it. She threw herself at Tetsu. For the first time in four months, someone cared about her. "I would be happy to stay with you."

Sango stepped through the threshold of Tetsus big house. It was gorgeous. The walls were bright and the sun shone brightly through, reflecting light off the diamond animals that were placed neatly on a counter. This was the house she dreamt about. Exactly. Every detail was exactly what she visioned. She slipped her sneakers off and placed them on the small tatami rug near the door.

"I have a guest room for you. You have your own bathroom too." Tetsu said, as he stacked some old magazines in a neat pile. Sango looked around in amazement.

After a tour of the whole house, Tetsu asked if she was hungry. He opened his fridge and pulled out a raw steak. He noticed Sango lick her lips happily. "I take it you like steak." He laughed. "Ever cooked it before?" Sango gasped. "No, I'm not much of a cook."

"It's easy. I'll teach you. Just wash your hands over there and I will show you." Sango did as she was told and walked over to him. He told her how to add seasonings, and wht direction to cut it. He slid behind her and watched over her shoulder to make sure she didn't cut herself.some lemon juice squirted in his eye. Sango couldn't help but laugh. Tetsu just laughed back. That was what he liked about her.Her laugh...her smile...her kindness...everything.

About an hour later, they were enjoying the steak. "You are quite the chef Sango, you have to tell me who teaches you." he laughed,Sango joining him. Sango continued eating and laughing with him.

'I am really not sure why I didn't see how kind Tetsu really is.' Sango thought as she cleaned off her plate. she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her shoulder, knowing it was her bruises. They had actually gotten worse and even spread a little. Her whole left arm was black and purple. She clutched it and began moaning in pain.

At this point, Tetsu was already at her aid. "Sango, Whats wrong?" He asked gently. sango showed him her bruises and explained the whole thing about Miroku to him. "He will pay..." he growled. "He will pay for harming your beautiful body!"

He gently caressed her wound, and leaned over and brushed his lips against her shoulder lightly,softly. "I will cherish you Sango. Please stay here forever." He moaned and rested his head against her shoulder. He was so gentle and tender. This was new to her. For so long she had been beaten and exhausted. This was her chance to relax.

Tetsu began to kiss her lightly up her neck and against her jaw line. He gave her a small peck on the lips and Sango returned it. Is this cheating? I mean I am still married to Miroku by law...but not in my heart. She thought sadly as Tetsu was touching her lovingly.

Sango pulled him away and looked into his eyes smiling. "Okay, I'll stay." and she sealed her promise with a tender kiss.

DUN DUN DUN! What will happen now? Will Sango end up with Tetsu? will she go back to her abusive husband? Only I know so keep reading!
