Chapter 7 Sango's Confessions

Inuyasha, Miroku, Kikyo, and Sango stand in the foyer waiting for Jaken to return. Sango was figgiting with her hands and zoning off as she had been since the day of Kagome's death. Miroku looked at his former fiancee and shock his head.

"Sango, what troubles you" He already knew but was trying to avoid the topic

"You know whats wrong, Miroku how can you guys just pretend it never happened. She was our friend, she was like family to us and you just act like non of it happened." Sango all but yelled

" Oi wench, shut up about it already. It's been half a year. Unless you want to join her then I would stop bringing it up!" Inuyasha barked out. He was annoyed that for the past six months she had been sulking, and all over Kagome's death. 'Kagome was weak what was to miss.' Inuyasha bitterly thought. Jaken had finally come back.

"Lord Sesshoumaru is in his study, fallow me" They fallowed him to the study and when they walked in they all looked shocked. 'This has to be a sign, maybe she can help me.' Sango thought hoping she could some how fix what was done. Sesshoumaru looked at his brother and his friends.

"What do you want half breed?" Sesshoumaru said coldly

"Sorry Lord Sesshoumaru, I am the reason we are here" Kikyo said " I actually wanted to talk to you about her" she pointed to Kagome " I sensed her presence when Kagome was killed. I believe she is Kagome's killer" Kikyo looked smug at the thought of getting rid of a potential threat. Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome hoping she could save her self without giving away who she was. Before anything could be said Kouga blurted out. "Kagome is dead? I thought I told you to take care of her. Inu trasha I should kill you for that." Sesshoumaru and Kagome held him back with little effort, they knew he was just dolling it up. So they did not suspect anything. 'that should work' Kouga thought. Kagome cleared her throat getting everyone's attention.

"Of course you did Miko, I was in the area to speak with Lady Kagome. Unfortunately when I got to the spot she told me of, I had smelt her blood. I went to see what happened but when I got there all I seen was a bloody patch" Kagome explained everything away

"She never mentioned you before Lady Akane" Kikyo said trying to break her story

"That does not surprise me she spoke of you and from what I heard you were not close" Kagome kept a cold mask on up was at unrest having to be in the same room as the person who made her life hell. Before Kikyo could say another word Sango speaks up.

" Lady Akane, may I please speak to you alone. It is about Kagome"

Sesshoumaru nods his head at Kagome, telling her that it was a good idea.

" Very well, Sesshoumaru were would a good place be?"

"The gardens" He just simply said

Kagome could smell the flowers from where she was sitting so she lead the way to the gardens. They walked in silence until they got the the gardens and sat on the bench.

" Yes, what was it you wanted to speak to me about" Kagome still being cold

" It's about my friend Kagome, I don't mean to burden you"

"it is fine Sango"

"Well I feel at fault for her death, I really wanted to be there for her but I did not want our friends to turn against me as well. The day she died I was going to tell her about a plan we had to kill her. I never really wanted her dead, I was trying to get them to agree to make her leave so she would be happier. I wanted to help her get out. But I was to late" Sango started to cry no longer able to hold back the tears "She was like a sister to me and I did not protect her" Kagome got up and gave Sango a hug.

"It is okay you did not kill her, and I am sure if she was still alive she would forgive you" Sango lifted her head and stopped crying. This was the first time in six months she felt that everything was finally okay. They walked back up to the study and sat down. Sesshoumaru was deep in thought, but Inuyasha and Kouga were arguing back and forth so they did not notice the two women reenter until Miroku said something.

"Sango, what is wrong"

"you damn well know whats wrong. Kagome is dead because we did not protect her" Sango tried to hold back her tears. Inuyasha had heard enough of it from Sango.

"If you really miss her so damn much then why don't you go join her." Sango looked at him stunned as she contemplated the idea. Kagome looked at Sango the Sesshoumaru and Kouga for help.

" It's a wonder how you still have anybody mutt, Sango you make stay with me and Ayame for a while." Sango bowed her head accepting his offer. Inuyasha finally lost his temper.

"fine whatever I don't care go with the Wolf but we are leaving" Inuyasha stormed off and Kikyo and Miroku fallowed sute. Unnoticed to Miroku his wind tunnel grew as he left the women he once loved. Shortly after Kouga and Sango left. Sesshoumaru and Kagome were the only two left in the study and Sesshoumaru was still deep in thought ' I should tell her now, I know she does not feel the same but at least I will be able to move one'

"Sesshoumaru?" Kagome spoke up worried about her friend

"hm?"

"sorry to pull you out of your thoughts but you have been sitting there staring at the wall for a while now."

"Hm, Lady Kagome I need to ask you something"

"you know it's just Kagome, and ask away"

Sesshoumaru raised his brow at her "Even after what he did are you still in love with my brother?"

Kagome was a bit shocked at the question but answered it anyway. "No, but then again I fell out of love with him before the final battle"

Sesshoumaru's heart started to quicken ' just because she does not love him does not mean she could ever love me.' Sesshoumaru now felt her had to say it or at least ask her. "Have you given up on love?" 'why do I keep avoiding the question?'

"No, as a matter of fact the reason I lost my love for Inuyasha is because some one showed me what real love was." Kagome sighed 'were is this going.'

"You are in love with someone?" 'why am I doing this to myself'

"yes"

"Then may I ask who?" Sesshoumaru asked dreading yet wanting to heat her answer. Kagome simply looked at him.
