I amSO sorry for the long wait. I hate moving. It took us forever to get our house straightened out. But anyways let's get to the story.

Aw man. Sango's did it this time. Can she win back her friends, escape marriage and gather up her pride and apologize to Inuyasha?

Chapter 6: Heaven can Wait

Recap from last chapter: Inuyasha turned on his heel in order to leave.

"Fine then. If you want to stay, then I'm not stopping you. Come on guys, let's go." he said, his voice in an uncharacteristically low tone.

Miroku, Kagome, Shippo and Kilala all bid their farewells to Sango and followed after their leader. As Sango watched them walk away, her eyes glided over to Inuyasha. Her eyes began to water as she wondered if staying was the right thing to do.

'Did I hurt Inuyasha by wanting to stay?'

Sango watched Inuyasha's retreating form. Did she really mean to say that?

Karina glanced to her princess, then to Darrius and Alejandro. "So Karina, what did you want to talk to us about?" the raven haired girl closed her eyes and thought for a moment. Her violet eyes opened once again and she motioned Alejandro and Darrius to move closer to her.

"Ok we need to get the you-know-what started. But first…" she trailed off, looking at Sango once again. Darrius noticed the evil gleam in the young woman's eyes.

"No sis. You don't mean…" Karina smiled.

"Oh yeah. I have another plan. Now here's what I want you to do….."

"Inuyasha, do you think it was a good idea to leave Sango here?"

"She wanted to stay so why not give her what she wants? She obviously hates me." the hanyou muttered, stomping towards the front doors.

"But Inuyasha, maybe one of us could try to convince her to--" but before Kagome could finish, Kilala leapt off of Miroku's shoulder and bounded off in the opposite way the crew was walking.

"Kilala! Where are you going?" Shippo yelled, chasing after Kagome. The future girl then chased after the kitsune, leaving behind a confused and pissed off hanyou and a confused monk.

"Shall we go after them?" Amused sapphire eyes met enraged golden ones.

"Keh."

Alejandro ran down the corridor, searching for Inuyasha and his friends. Kilala sped past him, but he didn't notice. But he did notice the two guys running towards him.

He even bumped into one.

"Inuyasha? What are you doing?" the shark asked, rubbing his aching head. The half demon glared at him and then stood up.

"I gotta go get that wench Kagome before she gets into trouble." Alejandro nodded while Miroku helped him off the floor. An evil gleam soon shone in the Spanish shark's crimson eyes.

"Gracias Senor Miroku. Thank you Miroku. And Inuyasha, didn't you agree to help us in the rebellion?" Inuyasha grunted in response.

"Since you aren't here for your friend Sango anymore, we really do need your help. Tygeru is a strong demon and you and your friends are the only ones that can defeat him. There were others that have tried before us and they all failed. They paid with their lives. So can you help us?"

Miroku glanced to Inuyasha, trying to read his body language. The guy just stood there, contemplating the situation, his eyes staring at nothing in particular. He seemed to be in a daze of some sort.

"Inuyasha?" At the sound of Miroku's voice, the hanyou came back to reality. Alejandro looked hopeful.

"Will you and your friends help us?" Inuyasha glanced to Miroku, who had a gleam of optimism in his cerulean orbs, and sighed.

"Fine. We'll help you. I can't stand that Tygeru bastard anyway." Alejandro smiled. "So, do you have a plan?" Miroku asked. Alejandro nodded and motioned for them to follow him.

"Shippo! Wait!" Kagome had been chasing Shippo up and down the corridor for what seemed like an eternity. Finally she decided to take a break and catch her breath.

The kitsune finally stopped and turned around. He saw Kagome leaning on a wall for support and ran over to her.

"Kagome, are you ok?" she nodded yes and stood up straight. "Shippo, don't run off like that. We don't know this place that well, and you could get lost." Shippo lowered his head.

"I'm sorry Kagome." The priestess giggled and scooped up the little kitsune. "It's okay."

"Kagome." a deep voice stated. Said girl whipped around to see Darrius standing in front of her, Kilala in his arms- I mean fins.

He walked over to her and held out his fins. "Is she the one you were looking for?" Kilala mewed and licked the side of Darrius' face. "Um, yes. Thanks so much Darrius. Hey, do you know where Sango is?" Kilala jumped out of Darrius' fins and onto Kagome's head.

The shark dude thought for a moment. "Yes I do. Why?" Kagome's brown eyes held an evil gleam and Darrius noticed it. 'I know that look. It's the same one Karina had when she came up with this plan.'

"Can you show me where she is? I'm going to convince her to come back with us!" and with that, she grabbed a fin and marched off.

"What the hell?! You want me to do WHAT?!" Miroku, Karina and Alejandro sighed. This would be the last time they plot to take down an evil tyrant.

The four were in a room that Tygeru had allowed Inuyasha and Miroku to stay in for the wedding. They were discussing what roles the two crew members would play in the plot, but Inuyasha didn't agree to his part. Figures.

"We just want you to do that one thing. All you have to do is convince Sango not to marry Tygeru. Can you at least do that?" Karina pleaded with her eyes, but the hanyou didn't buy it.

"Why do I have to convince her? She hates me! She ain't gonna talk to me now! Why can't you do it?"

"Because! Tygeru is going to have all of his closest servants and guards around him at all times until the wedding. It's the royal family's tradition." Inuyasha glared at her.

"Why can't Miroku do it?" Said monk faced his comrade. "I'm going to be helping Alejandro with sabotaging the wedding. I won't have time to talk to her."

"And I'm going to be helping Karina plan the wedding that Miroku and Alejandro are going to sabotage." states a feminine voice. Everyone's head whips around to the door.

Kagome is in the doorway, Shippo in her arms, Kilala on her head and Darrius at her side.

"Darrius told me the plan and I want to help get Sango back any way I can." she says, walking over to the others. She takes a seat next to Inuyasha and glares at him.

"What the hell? What's with the dirty look?!" Kagome's glare intensifies and she mutters the two most deadly words known to the hanyou.

"Sit boy."

Seconds later, an Inuyasha-sized hole was in the glass floor. Ouch. At least he landed on the marble pavement below, right?

I'll take Inuyasha's irate growling as a no.

Seconds later, Kagome was standing over the Inuyasha-sized hole, eyes intending on violence.

"Why won't you go talk to Sango?! You're the one that made her want to stay in the first place!" Inuyasha rose slowly from his hole, golden eyes narrowed dangerously at the miko.

"I didn't make her stay! She decided to stay on her own. Don't blame me for her choices! If she wants to marry some snake bear mutant freak, who gives a damn?!"

Karina, Darrius and Alejandro sweat-dropped. That was their current king, ya know.

"Why not blame you?! Who argued with Sango over something stupid and made her leave? Who got her all riled up and ready to marry some random evil guy? The base of all Sango's recent problems has to deal with you!"

Inuyasha huffed and climbed out of his hole.

"If she didn't do such stupid things and almost get herself killed, I wouldn't have to be on her case all the time! I tried to be a good friend and come and save her! But she just rejected me, so why try to get her to do something that we all know that she won't do? Her damn pride is what's keeping her away from me!"

"Maybe you two should try and put your egos aside and just talk things out. Arguing with her is not going to solve your problems. Both of you are stubborn, so you have to man up and go and talk to her!" the priestess folded her arms and smirked at the half demon.

She knew that Inuyasha wasn't going to retaliate.

Inuyasha just sat on the floor and glared at Kagome. He just couldn't help but wonder if anyone would notice if Kagome disappeared tonight.

But then again, her words kind of got to him. It's like, they actually made him think. We all know how hard it is for Inuyasha to think sometimes.

He isn't the sharpest Crayola crayon in the box. Or the brightest lightbulb in the lamp. Or the hungriest shark in the sea. Wait, scratch that last one. I don't know where that came from.

But you get what I'm saying, don't you?

Bueno.

So, the defeated hanyou stood up and mumbled something to himself. He glanced to the door, then to Kagome. He knew she had him right where she wanted him. He shot another death glare in her direction, before stomping off to the door.

When he reached the room's exit, his face held a downcast expression. He glanced to Kagome and the others one more time.

"You make it sound so easy." and with that, Inuyasha slipped out the door.

Sango made her way down the long and empty corridor. She ignored the paintings on the wall and the muffled gasps from passing palace servants. If she wasn't so caught up in her personal life, she would have gave them something to gasp about.

Something unpleasant.

But alas, Sango is too lost in her thoughts to worry about anything else.

Why did she want to stay and marry Tygeru? Oh yeah, to get back at Inuyasha. But that plan backfired.

Low blow to the ego.

And then, Inuyasha had the nerve to start an argument with her and then compliment her? The jerk.

At that last thought, Sango giggled to herself. Inuyasha did have a way with words. Is that why they got into so many arguments? Is that the reason behind all the times he's pissed her off?

Probably.

But then again, Inuyasha could be such a jerk. He's the one that started this whole thing. If it wasn't for him, we all wouldn't be in an underwater palace, plotting on some random snake-bear thing that wants to marry a demon slayer just to bring back his family.

I bet that isn't even his real hair color.

But Sango knew that deep down, Inuyasha only acted like a jerk because of what he's been through.

Being a hanyou is no walk in the park.

Having to grow up way faster than you were supposed to, having to fend for yourself when no one else would. It was hard out there for a hanyou. Not a pimp, a hanyou.

Real hard.

Sango can sympathize with Inuyasha, in more ways than I can imagine. She lost her mother when she was young; so did he. She's lost everyone that has ever been close to her; so did he. She barely had friends her age when she was growing up; he had no friends.

She hates Naraku with a soul consuming, burning passion; well, so does half of the cast on the show. But anyways….

But something else about that jerk's personality caught her attention: his loyalty.

Sango knew that Inuyasha has never had any real friends until now, and she knew that she along with Miroku, Kagome, Shippo, Kilala and Kaede (even though he won't admit that Kaede is like a grandma to him) they were as close as family as Inuyasha would get.

Sorry Sesshomaru.

If you could just lose the cocky 'I hate demons and humans who love demons' attitude, maybe, just maybe, you could have a slim chance of being the loving and kick-ass older brother that you should be.

You know what I'm talking about.

Sango knew that Inuyasha would do anything to keep the few friends he has, and she would never want to lose the friendship she has with him.

Even if he is an egotistical, arrogant jerk that has a low IQ when it comes to real life. Even if he doesn't care about the feelings of others sometimes when charging off into battle.

He might not care how they feel, but he cares if they're safe.

And that scores big points in Sango's book of Life.

That little personality strength is the thing that has Sango thinking. Maybe the demon slayer feels a little different about our favorite hanyou.

Maybe she might a have a- "Ow, what the hell?"

Sango was dragged out of her thoughts. Did she just bump into someone? She dropped her gaze to the floor and noticed that she did.

Oops.

"I am so sorry. I didn't mean to--" 'Wait. That is not who I think it is.'

Sango was shocked. Inuyasha was on the floor in front of her. How did she not notice?

Oh right, she was too busy thinking.

The slayer reached out a hand to help him up, and surprisingly, he took it. He brushed off his clothes and mumbled something incoherent.

Sango had to strain her ears just to hear what he said. "What did you say?"

"I said thank you, damn!" the taijiya was startled at the sudden outburst, but she regained her composure.

"You're welcome. So, what are you doing here anyway? I thought you all were leaving." he answered her with silence.

A few moments went by, as the two just stood there in silence. Finally, Inuyasha spoke.

"Sango?" His question sparked curiosity in the girl next to him.

"There's a reason why I'm out here." Sango nodded, which meant for him to continue.

"I'm here to apologize."

AN: I'm finally back with this story and I end on a cliffhanger? Ah yes, the suspense is dreadful, isn't it? Well, at least you know I'm not dead. It's just that the plot bunnies haven't been attacking me lately, but now they're back! Anyways, please review :)

I hope this chapter wasn't too angsty. I wanted to add a little humor after what happened in 5.
