Character/Pairing: Crack warning! Kagome/Sango
Rating: PG-13
c. 2006
From her position on Inuyasha, Kagome glanced to the side and watched Kirara fly through the air, her two friends on the nekomata's back.
More specifically, her eyes focused on Sango. The huntress seemed slightly sad, as she usually did, but her face was radiant in the sunlight and her hair whipped behind her like a banner. She was looking exceptionally well this morning.
Her eyes flickered to Miroku, her fiancée. His shakujou was locked protectively around Sango's middle, as he had grown accustomed to doing. She had always liked Miroku, really. Even if it took her awhile to trust him, she had always liked his companionship. He was kind and he respected her, at least as far as she could tell.
But he always got to ride that damn firecat.
Inuyasha's movements jostled her. His hair flew into her face and mouth, and his claws dug into the undersides of her legs. He got sweaty when he was running, and his hands slipped over her skin.
Kagome thought of sitting behind Sango on Kirara, the wind blowing freely through her hair. Sango's hair might whip her face, but it would smell pleasantly of Kagome's shampoo and other, wild things, clover maybe. Kagome's hands would replace Miroku's shakujou, for she knew Sango would never be suspecting of her female companion.
Kagome had not given her reason for suspicion. If the taijiya knew what Kagome thought of, behind those pretty blue eyes of hers, she would more than welcome the monk's ceaseless groping.
But Kagome could be the one to catch Sango when she fell, and hold her when she cried, and soothe her when she had nightmares. She could be a best friend.
All Kagome would get were the phantom-kisses that came with her dreams, and the fire that filled her upon waking. All she could do was clench her teeth and her legs together and hope Inuyasha wouldn't smell her arousal. All she could do was admire when they took their bath, and tint her world green when she thought of the monk.
Kagome could understand the young girl Koharu's plight very easily. Unrequited love was a painful thing indeed.
