DISCLAIMER: I do not in any way own InuYasha or anything that has to do with InuYasha. And if I make any references to any songs, I do not own them either unless otherwise stated.

A/N: I'm so sorry that I have not been updating anything. I just have not been having any creative juices running through my veins. I hope to have another chapter out really soon. I have already started it and hope to finish it really soon.

As for Runaway, I am taking a little more time on trying to finish it, because it will be the last chapter and I want it to be a good one. I hope that those of you who are also waiting fro an update on that one can wait just a little while longer.

Thanks again.

P.s. I'm not happy with this chapter, I just tried to get it out. I hope that the next one will be a lot better and out really soon.

Happy Reading!

It has been over a week since Sango and InuYasha had set out on their journey to find their friends: Kagome and Koga. Along the way, the small group picked up two more companions. Kohaku and Rin had brought some cheer to the small group and Sango was happy to have them. It had been a long while since the last time she had seen her brother.

InuYasha was also glad to have the two tagging along. Well, not so much glad, as he relieved.

Since the two have joined them in their search, Sango was not asking him questioned that he did not want to answer. That did not bother InuYasha in the least. Rin's questions on the other hand... drove him nuts.

The young girl would ask him why he did not like her 'Lord', why he was go grumpy all the time and why could he not be more like his brother... That was the last stand for hanyou. He snapped, the girl cried and both brother and sister turned on him.

Since then, InuYasha had been walking a few steps ahead of everyone and keeping to himself. The only one who seemed to not mind being around him was Kirara.

Kirara had spent much of the trip on the hanyou's shoulder. The actions of the little neko never brought any thoughts into the hanyou's head, but did in her mistress'. Sango often wondered why Kirara was trying to become closer to InuYasha. In a way, Sango felt as if Kirara had taken her place as InuYasha's best friend.

Sango was so lost in her own thoughts, she did not notice that InuYasha had stopped until she ran into his back. The hanyou turned his head to the side and growled at the taijiya. "We will wait here. Wolf Breath is on his way."

Sango walked over to a tree at the edge of the path they were walking on. She sat down and started to pick at the grass that was around her. She watched as the two younger travelers chassed each other around.

InuYasha, being his grumpy self, jumped up into the tree that could not be any further away from the taijiya without he being out of his line of sight. He knew that he should tell here about what his brother had said, but he also had a pride that would not allow him to admit that he had made such a stupid mistake.

As Sango sat and watched the children, Kirara slept on InuYasha's shoulder and InuYasha was awaiting the arrival of Koga. He could sense that the flea host was heading in their direction the day before, but he did not want to sit in silence with the others, so, he pushed them on.

Now, Koga was close and would meet them before the sun would set. Now, all they had to do was wait.

:

Kirara awoke from her slumber and jumped off of InuYasha's shoulder. Once on the ground, she took two big leaps and landed on her mistress' lap. The neko 'meowed' and awoke Sango from the light slumber she had allowed herself to fall into.

"What is it Kirara?"InuYasha landed in front of the taijiya, "The mangy wolf is here."

Sango stood and held Kirara in her arms. "Did he bring Kagome and their cubs?"

"Do you really think I would endanger the lives of my young by taking them on a non-stop run to see what brings you here? I'm not a stupid mutt like InuYasha after all."

Sango turned to see that none other then Koga stood behind her with his hands on his hips and a smile on his face. "Koga, it's good to see you again. How is everyone?"

Koga and Sango both ignored the rants coming from InuYasha.

"Everyone is just fine. Kagome is a little restless. She is expecting our third cub."

"That's one thing the world does not need... Another Koga.""That's it MUTT! I was ignoring you, but when you mess with my cubs!"Koga turned on InuYasha and lunged at the hanyou. InuYasha was quick enough to dodge Koga's attack and make a beeline towards the forest. Once he was sure he would be able to talk without anyone, other then Koga to hear him, InuYasha stopped.

Koga was not expecting InuYasha to stop so suddenly. In turn, Koga ran into the back of his so-called friend. Yes, friend. Even if they still fight, the two do consider each other as such.

"What the hell are you doing?! First, you insult my cubs. Then, you run like the true coward you are. Now, you stop without warning!" Koga was in fact upset over the hanyou's actions, but also curious of his actions.

InuYasha looked to his wolf friend and grunted. "We need to talk fleabag."Koga laughed. "You could not do this in front of the others?"

"Shut up! If I could, I would not have run from out fight." InuYasha leaned up against a tree and closed his eyes. "Sango wanted to let you and Kagome know that her wedding is going to be soon. So, that you can attend."Koga laughed, yet again. "Why all the show to get me alone. It's not like she does not know it's you she will be marrying.""That's just it, Sango is marrying the houshi." InuYasha opened his eyes and looked to Koga. We are just friends."Koga smirked and crossed his arms over his chest. "Then why did you place your scent onto her? You know if a youkai senses that she was claimed as a youkai or hanyou mate, they will kill the houshi for taking her from her mate.""I know that!" InuYasha threw his arms into the air and turned around. "I did not know that I did it, ok?"

"No, not ok. I assume she does not know. If that is true, you need to tell her." Koga then put a clawed hand onto the hanyou's shoulder. "She needs to know."

InuYasha sighed and then crossed his arms over his chest. "Just go and get Kagome. We will wait here for you. Once you return, we will go back to Kaede's village."Koga shook his head and let out a sigh. "I'll be back soon, about two day's time."

With that, InuYasha watched as his friend ran off into the thick woods. After pausing in the clearing a moment longer, InuYasha returned to the four he had left behind.

Rin and Kohaku were sitting by the fire petting Kirara and Sango was over by her tree once again. InuYasha walked over to his taijiya friend and sat down beside her. "We will be staying here until Koga returns in about two days."

Sango just nodded and placed her head on the hanyou's shoulder. "Then we should just relax and rest until he returns with Kagome."

With that being said, Sango closed her eyes and allowed sleep to take over.
