PSA: Hey everyone, I just wanted to say that if you skipped chapter 5 then go back and read it because it used to be a message from me but it's an actual chapter, and you will be confused if you don't read it.

Sango's p.o.v

'I can't believe that I said that to Inuyasha,' I thought as I ran through the forest and back to my room with Miroku. At that point I became extremely nervous that Inuyasha would run after me, so I ran faster. Once I safely reached my room I opened the door and shut it without facing the members in the room. I was lightly panting from running so fast. Suddenly my heart dropped, I knew that I didn't want Inuyasha to follow me because I wasn't ready to confront him; but I was extremely miserable that he didn't follow me. So, he didn't have feelings for me I guess, I mean why would he, he loved Kagome. I could feel my shoulders wilt at the thought, of course he didn't love me, I was stupider than I thought.

"Sango?" I could hear someone call behind me. I jumped and spun around. "Are you ok?" he began to approach me.

"Yeah you just startled me, that's all." I said.

"You were running." He proclaimed. "From what?"

"I went on a walk by the river…I forgot my weapons and I didn't want to run into a demon, I guess I just rushed back over her." I lied skillfully.

"Oh my dear Sango," he chuckled kissing my forehead, "when did you start to become so mindless." I gently laughed with him.

"I don't know," I admitted.

"Well regardless, I'm happy you're here, I've missed you so much." He pulled me into a hug. I don't know what came over me but I fell into his embrace. I understood that I didn't love Miroku the way he claimed to love me, but wasn't it my turn to be selfish. I already gave myself to him so would it even matter at this point. My feelings were hurt, and I needed someone to show me they loved me.

"I've missed you too," I whispered.

"Come on Sango, let's get to bed I'm sure Inuyasha is going to want to head out early tomorrow." I nodded my head and let him lead the futon we would be sharing, but all that I could think about was Inuyasha going to share a room with his beloved Kagome.

Inuasha's p.o.v

I love you, that's why. Her words kept ringing in my head. I could feel my face heat up as I replayed the words in my mind.

Everything started to make sense. Sango loves me, that's what Kagome and Miroku knew; that's what broke up the group. Sango thought that if she proved her love to Miroku then both him and Kagome would be happy. She compromised her feelings to save the entire group?

How could she do that? I couldn't let her live her entire life unhappy because she doesn't want Kagome to be upset. Sango loves me…she really loves me, and I think I love her too. I had to tell her, to show her that I wanted to be with her, the way that she wanted to be with me.

I walked back to the room I would be sharing with Miroku. As soon as I reached the door I smelled Sango, and then I remembered that I would be sharing with Kagome tonight. I walked to Kagome's room and decided against it. I didn't really want to share a room with her tonight, or at all. I needed time to think anyway, so I made my way back to the forest to sleep in a tree.

The next morning I waited outside of Kagome's room.

"Inuyasha there you are!" she exclaimed. I flattened my ears to my head and closed my eyes, that was not the first thing I wanted to hear so early in the morning. "Where were you last night, did you not get the memo?"

"I got it alright, I just wanted to sleep outside for a change," I responded.

"You always have to be the black sheep of the group don't you," she said, I rolled my eyes and ignored her.

"Whatever" I said. A few minutes later Sango came out of her room.

"Miroku said he'll be right out, sorry for the wait," she announced unable to look me in the eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you guys are tired" Kagome giggled. I squeezed my hands together to control my anger. I had to stand up and walk the other way.

"Just tell the monk to hurry up we have to go."

"Why's he so upset?" I heard Shippou ask.

"I don't know…" Kagome trailed off.

The rest of the day I had to keep myself separate from the group, until dinner of course.

"Inuyasha come out of that tree and join us, the food's ready," Kagome yelled. I left my spot in a jif and joined everyone around the fire. Sango still refused to note my presence. It upset me beyond belief.

"Inuyasha you've been acting so weird lately" Kagome commented as she handed me my cup of noodles.

"You have been rather…distant lately," Miroku commented. Sango looked up and our eyes connected. At that moment I felt as if no one else was around. Her gaze lingered for a few seconds and then looked away. "So what has been bothering you lately?" Miroku continued suspiciously.

"Nothin', just don't feel like being around people lately, anything wrong with that?" I asked shifting my gaze from Sango's to Miroku's.

"I guess not." Kagome sighed. I looked away and finished eating. Finally, I was able to get away from everyone.

The next few weeks were difficult, I really needed to make sure that I could tell Sango my feelings, without the others knowing. All I knew was that I was becoming extremely anxious, and extremely annoyed. Miroku was all over Sango like he owned her, like he was the one that she loved.

I was starting to get really upset. Someway, somehow I needed to get Sango alone so that we could talk.
