The inspiration for this chapter came from a 112 song called 'Cupid.' There is going to be some drama in this chapter and if anyone seems a bit out of character, sorry about that. It's a song chapter! Yay!
This one is mostly Inuyasha and Sango, so we'll be getting back to the others in the next chapter. Enjoy!
Disclaimer- I'm so tired of these. If I owned Inuyasha, why would I be on ?
Bold italics-song lyrics (I love 112!!)
Chapter 7: Cupid, You Idiot
Sango was taken back at that statement.
That egotistical, arrogant jerk actually wanted to apologize? Sango couldn't believe it.
It was unbelievable.
Was this like, a sick joke or something?
Because if it was, Sango was going to get her Hiraikotsu, set it on fire and shove it so far up his--
"Sango? Are you listening to me?" the hanyou's voice brought the slayer out of her thoughts.
"I'm sorry I must have zoned out for a minute. What did you say?" Inuyasha sighed loudly. How dare she not listen to him?
Did she even know how much of his ego was lost stomping down this long ass corridor?
A lot my friends. A lot.
"I said that I came here to apologize to you. But since you're not listening, I'm leavin." but as he turned around to depart, Sango reached out and grabbed his left wrist.
"Wait Inuyasha, please don't go. I'm willing to hear you out." she freed his wrist and took a step back, ready to hear this alleged apology.
Inuyasha took a deep breath and closed his eyes. 'Well, here goes nothing.'
Girl if I told you I love you
That doesn't mean that I don't care, oooh
"Sango, I'm sorry for arguing with you."
His golden eyes gazed into Sango's chestnut ones as he spoke. The slayer was still trying to comprehend this moment. She just couldn't believe that Inuyasha had come to her out of his own free will just to apologize to her.
She gazed into his golden orbs, as those eyes watched her every movement.
"I guess that…we need you around. I mean, you're somewhat of a good fighter. Not as good as me though." Sango glared at him.
And when I tell you I need you
Don't you think that I'll never be there, ooooh
"So what? You just want me around just so you can show me up in battle? I don't think apologies work that way Inuyasha." She folded her arms and glared at the hanyou hard.
"What? I'm didn't say anything like that."
I'm so tired of the way you turn
My words into deception and lies
"Oh, you didn't? Well, that's what I just heard coming out of your mouth. The only reason you want me around is because I boost your ego." Inuyasha diverted his gaze to the wall on the right side of him.
"Why are you twisting my words around? All I said was that you're a good fighter. At least try to take that as a compliment!" Sango took another step back.
"Oh, so you insult me and then try to tell me to take it as a compliment?"
Don't misunderstand me when I try to speak my mind
I'm only saying what's in my heart
Inuyasha's hands began balling into fists at his sides. This was supposed to be a simple apology, right? Well, why was Sango making this so hard?
"Well, sorry for trying to be nice."
Cupid, Cupid doesn't lie
But you won't know unless you give it a try
Oh baby, true love won't lie but we won't know
Unless we give it a try, give it a try
Sango watched Inuyasha's movements. He seemed to be thinking something over. His eyes weren't gazing into hers like they were earlier. His clawed hands were balling up into fists at his sides, did that mean he was angry with her or something?
Sango was clueless.
The two fighters stood in silence, each one deep inside their own minds, trying to decipher this moment.
Girl when I ask you to trust me
That doesn't mean that I'm gonna cheat on you
"Sango, do you trust me?"
"W-what?"
"Do you trust me?" the girl nodded her head, unsure of what he meant by 'trust'.
"I trust you. Why do you ask?" His face held a downcast expression, which meant that Sango had to lose the attitude.
He answered her question with silence, since he had to think of an answer.
"Do you trust me as a friend?"
Sango sighed. "Of course I trust you as a friend. It's just that some of the things that you say and do really made me mad."
"Well then, trust me enough to let me explain something to you. Look, Kagome made me come out here and apologize to you. But now, I'm…I'm gonna say what's on my mind."
Cuz I'm gonna never do anything to hurt you
Or mislead you, I love you
The taijiya nodded, ready to hear him out. She wanted to hear what he had to say, and maybe state some things herself.
Inuyasha took a deep breath, and un-clenched his fists. He had something that he had to say and he was going to say it.
Ain't no doubt about it, Lord no, I really mean it
I'd rather die before, before I lie to you
"When I first came out here, I was pissed. You pissed me off to the point where I didn't give a damn what happened to you. But now, I ….I don't want you to leave."
"You don't want me to leave?"
"I…guess not. And you don't need to get married to that Tygeru bastard. He doesn't really love you. He's just using you to get his stupid palace back."
Sango was confused.
" So he's…using me?"
Don't misunderstand me when I try to speak my mind
I'm only saying what's in my heart
Inuyasha moved closer to Sango and grasped her shoulders. "Yeah, so don't be stupid and marry that guy. Kagome says that people get married because they truly love each other. But you don't love Tygeru and you know it. So quit being stubborn and come back to me--I mean us."
Never wanna leave you, ain't no life without you
Never gonna leave, never gonna go, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, ohhhh
The slayer thought about this for a minute, then she glanced up at Inuyasha, a smirk slowly growing on her face.
"So you want me to come back to you?" Inuyasha's face was soon tinted a light shade of red at the question.
"No, I-I-I want you to c-come back to the group. So will you?"
Cupid, Cupid doesn't lie
But you won't know unless you give it a try
Oh baby, true love won't lie but we won't know
Unless we give it a try, give it a try
"I…I want to come back to you guys. I'm sorry Inuyasha. I didn't mean anything that I said to you earlier. But I'm still going to marry Tygeru."
Inuyasha released her shoulders and took a step back. I can't even begin to explain the thoughts that were suddenly rushing through the hanyou's mind.
He was shocked.
Too shocked for words.
"What the hell?! Did you not hear what I just said?!" Then Sango did something that shut him up.
She slipped her arms around his waist and hugged him. Inuyasha shut up and glanced down at the girl latched onto his waist.
"What are you doing?" She looked up at him and smirked.
"Shutting you up." She let go and stood back, waiting for his response.
"I'm not actually marrying Tygeru, you see Karina has a plan and I've decided to go thru with it." She then walked right past Inuyasha and continued her path to wherever, leaving behind a confused hanyou.
Inuyasha just stood there, wondering what just happened.
"So, she forgives me?"
AN: I hope no one seemed out of character and if they did, well sorry. If you imagine the last part in your mind, it's actually pretty funny. But I guess that's just me. Anyways, see you next chapter!
