I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA

Chapter 21: Confusing Love

Sango had been bathing in the tub for ten minutes tops in the hotel bathroom. Her naked form in the warm water the liquid invites layers of bubbles to float up onto the surface from the shampoo, conditioner, and soap combined. Sinking further into paradise she was alone with no living thing outside the congested doorway. The mirror began to fog up from the heat.

Blood pressure rising she recommends it would be good to get out of the water now. Taking precaution in stepping on the tile floor, since tile and water don't get along, she tip toes to the bronze door knob in it being the nearest object that she can support on. Mission complete, she makes it to the sink where under it held two wooden cabinets.

Taking her time she kneels down to the slippery ground and shivers from the cold air as she rubs her upper arms. Opening the right cabinet she grabs a white towel. Using the towel for its main purpose Sango shuts the miniature door. She hunches over the counter to look at her face thanks to the mirror.

The door knob twitches…

Afraid that it was some thief, and because her boomerang is at Kagome's, she could only do one thing that came as an immediate instinct.

Throw something!

Indeed it was a young man that takes the entrance. He waves his hand over his face from the thick, hot air, "whoa, what happen -WHAT THE!"

The man dodges a blow dryer as the flying object hits the opened door. He hears the yell of a woman. She was holding on to the end of the marble counter from practically slipping, "MIROKU YOU PERV GET OUT!"

"No I didn't mean- AHH!" the monk slips on the wet surface while stepping to confront her as he goes head first into the deep puddle of water. Sango quickly tip toes to the lip of the tub, "Miroku!"

He doesn't surface. She swiftly wraps the towel on her tighter and dives her hands into the water. Using all her muscular strength, her arms shaking and burning, she grunts in pulling his weight out of the suffocating water. Landing the top half of his body onto her she lays his head against her elbow. Miroku suddenly coughs from swallowing water because of plunging in the water with his mouth open.

The slayer embraces his head in relief in seeing no injury; repeating apologizes over and over again. Her whispers engrave in Miroku's fuzzy mind, "Shhh, it's okay Sango, I'm fine."

"Now it's not. You're hurt. And it's was because of my actions again," she says as she snuffles in her nose, "how can I be a suitable wife for you if I keep injuring you. Might as well keep my distance from you before I kill you from some ridiculous incident."

He chuckles from the statement and sits up, carefully, to see her crushed expression. She gets frustrated, "What's so funny!"

He brings her a crooked smile, "Man, your humor, one of the many things why I love you," he then turns his smile upside down, "when will it get it, Sango? I know you are nervous about being married and I am too, but if that means getting pushed over or whacked in the head everyday and getting knocked out cold you will still be my girl. I just hope blow dryers don't get invented in my lifetime because I don't think I'll be able to dodge the next one you give me."

She blows out a quick laugh in the mist of her negativity, "Gomenosai, I shouldn't have-"

"No I should be the one apologizing. Remember I'm the one who barged in here," he embraces her as his chin touches her soaking cranium and pulls her in tightly. Miroku lays his hand on the back of her head as she grips his shoulders and breathes. Her towel now saturated with water from his soaked clothes.

Miroku puts up a sour face, "Uh, remind me never to get my shoes and socks drenched again," his nose tickles from a water drop journeying down his mug.

"So you're okay then?" she whimpers. If she had Inuyasha's dog ears they would be drooping.

"There's nothing serious to worry about Sango. I just have a slight ache in my head," he brings up in warning.

"You need anything for it? I could go get Kagome. She says she has all the medication that can treat simple things like what you have."

The monk breaks out his recognizable, innocent smirk, "That's very kind of you Sango, you've been such a remarkable woman to me."

"Really I-" she tenses automatically!

Oh no he didn't!

With cherry cheeks she digs her nails into his shoulders in giving him enough pain to get the point. He creatively got his hand on her butt.

"You're lucky that my rear is covered with a towel," she snarls the words out.

He sighs in disappointment, "but I was praying to Buddha that it wasn't."

She whacks him in the back of the head ;not caring that he had a headache. He deserves it anyway.

Oh, he's fine alright! Though Miroku, to be even, this is also one of the many things why I love you too…

"Feh, he probably got her out of her misery," predicts the inuhanyou while in a discussion with a now terrified teen. The future girl runs to the phone in being maybe a bit too serious about his saying.

"You never can be too careful," Kagome assures to him and her self-consciousness.

Inuyasha leaps on a hotel bed and sits. His silver ears flickering at the sound of the phone. He hears a very small female voice on the other line in seeing Kagome presenting a thank-goodness sigh, "Hey, Yuri how's it going over there? Yeah, the same over here. What? The train doesn't come until another 2 hours, were about to leave the hotel soon. No, I can't make the train come here any faster Yuri! Alright see you this tonight, bye."

The half demon, now laying on his side, shoots out his arms, "she lives! What a shocker," he then talks like a smart ass, "Wow, I thought she was dead for sure!"

"Inu, please stop with the attitude. You've been acting like this ever since that talk at the movies," she pouts in folding her arms.

"Keh, are you blind. I've always acted like this since I first met you, Baka."

"I'm not stupid, I know you more than anybody else and I know that something has been bothering you to act this way. Is it me? Did I do something to offend you," she put her palm over her heart. She didn't want him to act this way and it hurt her.

He rotates his head away from her. He hasn't been staring at her straight in the eye lately, like she was disgusting to view at, "sort of."

Why? What did I do? I wish he couldn't make me like this. Damn it, why won't he look at me? It's like when he came back after seeing Kikyo. Is he thinking of …Kikyo?

She crashes in her deepest depression. It injures her so much that she couldn't explain it. Why now, after everything they've been through together in the past few weeks. Why did he have to act this way now? Why did he have to think about her now!

"Oh…ok…I guess then I'm in your way right now. I-I'll leave you be…" she came to the edge of running when she left the room.

Inuyasha wanted so bad to go after her but he was afraid it would make things worse. That he would run his mouth and say the wrong thing or turn things upside down. The vibration of her foot steps were fading away. They were also more firm on the hallway carpet…and faster.

I understand, but I feel…gosh why him? I hate it that I love him right now! But there's nothing I can do about it…

A short chappie but something is better than nothin'...until later then, C ya!
