TaiYoukai-Lover -- LoL actually I haven't got a laptop, it is actually a 10 year old computer that my uncle updated into the new world of xD after we got a new computer, so now the old one is in our room on the floor lol, but i do agree, it is a pain to do it like that all the time lol, anyway I BETTER GET ON WITH THE STORY :s

P.S Guys, i am actually banned from all internet usage at my mums house, and since i am there for the majority of the time, i can rarely get on the internet, the computer in my room has no internet, so my updates may be erratic...if they weren't already HAHAHA X_X;

I can handle feeling numb, it's comfortable, like a dream, it is the feeling of emptiness that's unbearable, as if somebody scooped out my very soul

--

Cold staring eyes, it sent shivers down her spine, if it had not been for the rise and fall of his chest, she would have believed him to be dead, but his eyes, open....and empty, her heart clenched, not once had she seen him like this, it was like a nightmare, she had no idea why, but she wanted to hear something other then his harsh breathing from him, a word, a sentence, even if it was something of an insult towards her, it was just so unnatural for him to be like this, unconsciously she intertwined her hand with his clawed one "Wake up" she pleaded softly, why was she acting like this, he was the same asshole stoic lord he always was, the only good thing about him was that he was great to look at- She shook her head violently, stupid thoughts always haunted her at the worst possible times

A slow soothing breath, okay, she had to admit, she saw him as a...well not a friend, maybe more of an acquaintance, he had let her stay in his home, brought her along to look after Sesshy, gave her a big comfortable room, she was grateful, that was it, and after he woke up or snapped out of it, she would be a little nicer...maybe....depending on her mood, she giggled and squeezed his hand a little tighter, still having no idea they were intertwined

"Sango"

Turning around she came face to face with Miroku, if she had been less tired and worried, she would have blushed, seeing as his face was so close to hers, but the only reaction that came was the reflex of-

WHAP

"GYAAAA" down he went, Sango stared wide eyed at the fallen monk, she had slapped him, well at least her reflexes were in tuned, had it been an enemy, he'd be the one with the red glowing hand on his face, she hid a smile beneath her hand, it wasn't meant to be funny, it never was before, actually he had been groping her before and usually she was pissed, but now looking upon the scene properly- "Glad to see your enjoying your work" he said blankly as he sat up across from her, she coughed and cleared her throat, be serious, you just slapped him for no apparent reason she told herself

"Sorry, you startled me" she murmured, Miroku's eyebrows shot up, he didn't remember ever startling her before, usually she already knew of his presence, Sango saw the surprise, "The kids, put you on edge after a while"

The monk nodded, he knew she was tired, it was evident in her face, this new job she had taken upon herself was really taking it's toll, he put a comforting hand on her shoulder, "Have you thought about coming back?", she turned toward him confused, "I mean, leave the pup in Sesshomaru's care while you join back with our group again, everybody misses you alot you know, especially Kagome"

"I have a duty" she said stonily "And I will stick to it untill it is fulfilled, I will not break my promise", Of course she knew they missed her, she missed them as well, they were like family to her, everyday her thoughts would drift back to them and wonder what they were doing or how they were going, she would have no idea if they got hurt or Kami forbid one of them die, suddenly feeling a lot worse about leaving her friends she tentatively touched the red hand print on his cheek, "I'm sorry, I-I just can't leave him without knowing he got to his home safely, a promise is a promise, and to me it means a lot that I keep it", he nodded, understanding where she was coming from, even if he wasn't fully satisfied with the fact she was still away from the group, away from him

Sango looked down at her hands, suddenly finding them more interesting....and intertwined with clawed one, How the-What the-When did that happen?! She felt her face heat up, if she wasn't blushing before, she sure was now, and unfortunately Miroku noticed it and...noticed the reason as well, oh man, her face felt like it would explode from all the blood rushing up to her face, what are you doing pull away you idiot! That's exactly what she did-Tried to do before she felt his hand tighten around her own, her breath hitched in her throat

"I-i- Uhh-That- it's" she stuttered, Miroku didn't know what to think, was she staying because of Sesshy...or Sesshomaru? He cleared that thought from his mind, she didn't have those sort of feelings for the Taiyoukai surely, she was engaged to him, he had proposed to her, she had accepted, he was just being over dramatic and reading to much into it, Sango loved him, not the youkai, "I was j-just checking to see if he responded to anything" she lied, she really didn't know how their hands intertwined, Miroku nodded

"Well it's doing a good job, he is responding" he mumbled, Miroku thought back to her words just before, and started to worry, "What if you never find them?"

Sango paled, "If I never find his family..." she said to herself weakly, that was not a thought she wanted in her head, the monk noted her reaction, sadness crept up upon him, would she stay there forever?

Who the hell did this kid think he was! the little asshole couldn't do what ever he wanted, Inuyasha felt like cracking the pup upside the head, "Stupid cocky bastard" he growled "If he thinks he will ever be able to do this again, he had got it ALL wrong", Why did Sesshy think he could snuggle up to him? What in Kami's name gave him THAT idea, Inuyasha huffed and rested his head on his palm, he was sitting cross legged with a little youkai sleeping on his lap, like some puppy dog, "You are giving up dog demons a bad name you little whelp" he hissed, well, he couldn't really talk, he was reduced to mush whenever Kagome scratched behind his ears, but he would never say that, he had pride

So this was what it was like to have a little brother, frankly it sucked when it came to everything, the questions, the pranks, the questions, the pranks...did he mention the questions? or the pranks? OH and the food theft, the little asshole bad become a pro at that, stealing his ninja snacks! they were his, not Sesshy's!

Actually this right here was the only bit about being a big brother he didn't mind, looking after a SLEEPING Sesshomaru, all he had to do was make sure the whelp did get napped or killed in his sleep, Inuyasha didn't mind either of those options, but Kagome would kill him, Sango would kill him, and he was pretty sure if he wasn't dead by then, Shippo would get a shot at him too, the little fox demon might not be strong, but his little tricks hurt

"Are you going to get some sleep aswell?", Inuyasha shifted his eyes over towards the Miko, Kagome had walked over as quietly as a mouse, hot chocolate in hand, looking ready for some sleep herself, "Everybody else has gone lights out, Miroku said he will take watch tonight, so why don't you take a break", the hanyou rolled his eyes, he didn't need sleep like humans did, he had explained this many times, but none of them seemed to listen, Kagome took the silence as a no, gosh he was such a jerk sometimes, Kagome's eyes flicked over to the pup on Inuyasha's lap, Sesshy shifted in his sleep, "Would you ever want one?" she asked quietly

Inuyasha raised and eyebrow, "One what?"

"A kid", she smiled and tucked a strand of silver hair away from Sesshy's face, "I think you would make a good father"

A light red tinge appeared on the hanyou's cheeks, he hated these kind of conversations, "If all kids are like him, I would rather die" he growled, "And why the hell would I make a good father anyway!", He hated kids, shouldn't fathers actually like kids!

Kagome giggled, "Well, your overprotective like a father, your kind when you want to be, you would be good at teaching your kids how to fight" she listed all of these on her fingers, the silver haired hanyou pouted and looked at the pup in his lap, he hadn't really thought of kids, sure it may have passed his mind, but he had been with Kikyou and they were going to spend their lives together, obviously kids were going to come into the picture soon, he knew Kikyou had wanted a child, he wondered breifly if she still thought she could have a life like that

After a few minutes Inuyasha replied "I guess I wouldn't mind having a kid"

"What about a wife?", Inuyasha choked, he turned towards the miko, "Well, it takes two to make a kid you know" she said a matter of factly, blushing a little

Inuyasha gaped, "We-O-OF COURSE I KNOW, I am not stupid" he snapped, crossing his arms across his chest

"Yes you are" Sesshy murmered rubbing the sleep from his eyes, "Your my stupid big brother" he smiled lazily looking up at the hanyou, looking quite comfortable where he was, Inuyasha's eye twitched, what the hell was the kid talking about, Sesshy had no idea they were related, and he would never know, it might screw up the timeline or something like that, Kagome had started ranting about it a day after they took the whelp in, he didn't listen to most of it, but was strictly told not to tell him of who his father is and that if he did Kagome would use 'The word'

"What are you talking about, I ain't your brother"

Sesshy grinned and gripped Inuyasha's haori in his small chubby hands, "No, but I have always wanted a brother, and if I ever was to get one, I would want him to be just like you"
