Chapter four: The longest wait.

She woke up looking around the place. She didn't recognize where she was, until she sat up. She opened her mouth, letting a yawn escape her mouth, while raising her arms high above her head, stretching out her muscles. She didn't even remember going to sleep at all, looking around, Inuyasha wasn't anywhere to be in sight in the living room. She got up, finding her shoes, and going outside. She wished she lived here, green grass was all around, pine trees standing tall. She admired how everything looked so peaceful yet so strong. She went into the trunk of her car, bringing out her suitcase and closing her trunk once more. She stared at the scenery while rolling it up to Inuyasha's door.

She went back inside bringing her things along with her. Reaching the bathroom door, and setting her stuff inside the tiny room. She looked down the corridors, making sure that he was still asleep she shut the door quietly, and locking it. She knew that Inuyasha would never even try to come inside, but just in case if someone dared to come inside, she was already prepared.

She started the water, letting the cold water run on her hands. She turned the faucet, turning it to hotter water, and letting it start to burn her shin. She turned it a little more, then starting the shower. She took off her clothes, and slowly getting inside. She just stood there, letting the water run upon her, smiling. She knew that she was enjoying being around him; for once she was happy.

She washed up and quickly got out. The steam was starting to get to her. She put on a pair of sweats and a tank top, and putting her hair inside the wrapped towel and left the bathroom. She went inside the kitchen; still it was silent. She got herself out a banana, unraveled it and took a bite out of it. While chewing she heard a loud bang and a shout coming from the hallway. She ran, and found Inuyasha on the bathroom floor. She reached for his hand and helped him up. He clutched his back, and she helped him walk into the living room and sat him on the couch.

"What happened?" She said with worry in her eyes.

"Well I slipped on the water, and fell, simple as that," he said with a little smirk. He knew that he was purposely trying to get her to feel bad.. She sat next to him, starting to rub his shoulders, and back. He then motioned for her to stop, she looked like she was about to cry.

He grabbed her hand, looking into one another's eyes and just gazed into them, until Sango looked down and took back her hand. She blushed wildly while he look in the other direction. He couldn't let her see, he just couldn't.

"I'm really sorry," she said while getting up and starting to walk off back inside the bathroom, and he just watched he walk. He didn't know what to do. She put all the things that lied on the counters and the floor inside her suitcase, trying not to think of his face, his soft hands, his touch, the warmth. A smile formed on her face, and then it turned into a frown, she knew that she couldn't stay there again that night.

She put her things inside the trunk of her car; Inuyasha kept on asking her to stay. She couldn't, she wanted him to much. Just to be in his presence had already made her feel so happy, but when she remembered he didn't have feelings back for her, awkwardness would form, and nothing could stop that feeling.

She got inside the drivers seat, and he stood there, with a frown upon his face, he didn't want her to go. He had been lonely, always had been lonely but he felt so alive when she was around. He felt like he was a teenager once again, he felt most alive. She was about to close the door, but he grabbed it before it did. She looked at him, one eyebrow going up. He chuckled, he loved how she could do that.

"Well since you're leaving, come to dinner with me tonight," He said, hoping she would say yes, and Sango just sat there giving an approving smile, yet not saying anything. She thought to herself; was this a date, or was it just a getting together? How she had longed for a date, something she hadn't done in years. Something new and exciting; especially with him.

He let go of her door, and she packed out of his driveway, she rolled down her window when she got onto the street yelling out , "I'll call you later and you can tell me where and when," she said without giving him a chance to respond, for she had already been down the street. He just smiled and shook his head, he knew that while she stayed, things were going to be different.

She drove to the furthest motel away. She got a bedroom, for the next couple of nights. Taking her luggage up to her bedroom, and turned on her cell phone. She dreaded to see how many messages she had from Miroku. He must be furious, and freaking out, but in so many ways she didn't care.

Her phone beeped and flashed something, she looked down at it, eight-teen missed calls, and four voice mails. She contemplated on if she was going to listen to them all, but instead she called Kagome, she needed to talk to her. She dialed her best friends phone number, and she listened to it ring, then she answered it, Sango smiled like never before.

"What happened to you? Miroku has called me saying he hasn't been able to get a hold of you, he doesn't know where you are, and he is worried sick," Kagome said, almost yelling at Sango.

Sango let out a deep breathe and started to tell her friend about what was going on, and in the end Kagome just chuckled.

"I knew you would end up doing something like this, didn't I predict it when we were still in high school?" Sango started to laugh, and her friend was right. She started to remember all the things her friend and her predicted back then, and a lot of them had came true.

Sango and Kagome stayed on the phone for about a half hour, until Sango had an incoming call from Miroku. She hung up on her friend, and turned off her phone. She couldn't talk to him, because she was a horrible liar, and she would end up slipping and telling him her location. She called Inuyasha from the rooms telephone, and found where she was going and when. She was excited, because right before he hung up, he said it was a date, and she felt weird.

She sat on her little sofa that sat in her room, and she stared out the window. She was on the third floor, and she didn't know what to do with herself. She should just stay there and relax, enjoy her time away, but at the same time she just needed to get away, not be able to think about anything.

She got up from her sofa, and put on her two piece bathing suit. She decided she would go downstairs and go swimming in the indoor pool. She went downstairs, and swam a few laps. Feeling refreshed she lied on a tanning chair. She wondered why there would be tanning chairs inside a indoor swimming pool, but she wasn't going to even ask.

She then saw a couple and their two kids come inside. She smiled as she watched the kids splash, and the couple just sit there in awe. That was what Sango wanted more then anything; a real family. She wanted to be able to come home to a loving husband and little ones running around the house. She knew that she would probably never have that if she stayed with Miroku. He was to busy living his own life, and he didn't have enough responsibility for kids, yet that was all that he was trying to do lately. Was trying to get her pregnant, he thought if he did, that would make Sango stay.

Sango despised her relationship more then anything, and she never had the guts to ever do anything about it. She had every opportunity to tell Miroku how she felt, she had so many of them to tell Inuyasha the truth, yet she couldn't. She didn't have enough guts, she didn't have any courage at all. But the more she thought about it, she realized it had always been hard for her to say what was going on, or how she felt. She decided that she needed to get over it, and she was going to tell him tonight.

She went back to her room, deciding she needed to take another shower since her hair and body smelt like the pool water, and it was disgusting. She just laughed, and realized she didn't know what she was going to wear, but she was going to decide on that when she got out of the shower. She got in and got out, not trying to make herself completely clean, but just making sure the smell was gone. Getting she dried off her body and put her hair in a towel once again, leaving the bathroom and going inside the bedroom, trying to figure out something to wear. Looking through her small wardrobe in her suitcase she decided to wear her little black dress. It could be used for either clubbing, going on romantic dinners, or just a night with the girls, it was perfect for every occasion and that was why she loved it so.

Putting on the dress and letting her hair out of the towel, and it was almost already dried and while she looked at it, she knew that her hair wasn't going to stay straight, it was going to be all nasty and frizzy, so that meant she actually had to do something with it, which she was dreading. She took out her biggest curling iron and plugged it in, she put on some light makeup. She didn't want to over due it because if she did, that would mean that she wasn't content with herself or trying to hide herself, so this was the best way to show that she was perfectly happy with herself, which she was, just wasn't happy in the situation she was in. She frowned, and then realized that the light on the curler went off signaling that I was hot and was able to use for further extant. Fifteen minutes past and all her long hair was not in short bouncy curls. Finishing it off with some hair spray; she smiled at herself. She went back to her suitcase looking for some shoes that she could wear with her outfit and in the very bottom back of it, she found her black pumps, that were completely gorgeous. She put them on and looked in the mirror and hoped that Inuyasha would think she was pretty, maybe even compliment her.

She got inside her vehicle, listening to some music. She had directions to where she was supposed to meet up at. It was Mimi's Café, and she had heard so many wonderful and great stories that have had happened there, and she would hope that she would have a story to tell later on her life that happened there.

She arrived there, and when she got there; there he stood in a button up shirt, slacks on, and a wonderful smile upon his face. When she reached him, he gave her a hug and they walked inside the Café with arms entangled. She just couldn't help but smile, she hadn't been this happy in the longest time ever.

They sat down, waiters came, they ordered food and now they were just waiting for the food to arrive. They sat there in silence, and it would only be broken every once and a while if they looked up at one another, and their eyes would meet, they'd laugh and then they go back to what they were doing. Sango sitting there playing with her hands, while Inuyasha just stared at the floor. Was it that they were uncomfortable with one another or the situation? Sango was about to say something till the waiter arrived with their food. They both ate in silence with the occasional clinking or clanking of the forks upon the plates, and one time Sango even thought about throwing her fork across the room, but that would just be rude, and un lady like, yet she really didn't care.

She stopped eating, acting as if she was full, so Inuyasha would want to leave as well. She just couldn't handle the sound.. They waited ten minutes before the waiter even came back with a check, and the two walked outside. She started to rub her arms, she was freezing, and she wasn't going to say anything. Inuyasha noticed and he started to rub her shoulders and arms as well, and she loved the way that he made her warm. He started to walk over to his car and she followed. He told her to get in and he started his car and turned on the heater. She just laughed.

"I can always get into my own car, and go to my motel and I'll be perfectly fine," Sango said trying not to giggle to much in between the words.

"Nah, your stuck here with me," he said in a seductive tone. She just stared at the ground, not knowing what to do. Then she turned to him, making her body face his, ready to tell him everything, but things were interrupted. His lips were upon her forcefully, his hand behind her neck pulling her closer to her. At first she didn't know what was even going on, not able to comprehend it. She closed her eyes, letting everything go. They parted and Sango blushed wildly and looked in the other direction. She couldn't face him, she still had no idea why he did such a thing. She decided to get out of the car, she heard him calling her name, but she couldn't turn back. She got inside her car, and looked back at him one more time, before taking off, and driving to her motel room.

Sorry for such a long delay, been busy. Heres the chapter, now i hope to get some reviews.
