Ok so people, I'm so sorry for not updating any of my stories lately. My house burned down and I lost almost everything and we've been trying to get everything together so…I'm very sorry about the long absence ^_^" Here's a new chapter. Hopefully it's long enough.


Sango squirmed around in her seat. She was hot, sweaty, and uncomfortable. Within a matter of minutes the air in the stadium was hot and humid. To make matters worse, she hadn't had a drink since she left her house. 'This is so frustrating. I have got to get out of here.' Sango stood up slowly and began to walk towards the exit when her mother tugged on her sleeve.

"Where are you going honey?" Her mother asked.

"I'm….going to go get water. I'll be back in a minute" Sango responded.

"Alright. Don't be too long, you don't want to miss anything."

'Oh yes I do' Sango thought to herself. She swiftly exited the stadium. The streets were almost empty, except for a few people chatting on benches and eating rice balls. Sango noticed a little child running around, his mother laughing and telling him to settle down. Sango smiled inwardly. She loved children and hoped to have some of her own one day. She blushed slightly at the thought of children then took a deep breath and continued walking.

After a few minutes of walking she decided to go the riverbed she used to go to as a child. She started walking in the forest. The trees blocked much of the sun and cooled Sango down a lot. As she walked further, the sound of rushing water became louder and louder. The birds chirping were like music to her ears. The sound of nature always calmed her down, especially after she's been sitting in that hot stadium for a while.

Sango found herself behind some bushes. She rustled the bushes a little, trying to get past them. Suddenly she heard a voice a few feet from her.

"Who's there?" It seemed to be a young male. Sango paused briefly before slowly pulling the branches of the bushes aside and looking through them. It was Inuyasha. He was frantically looking around, his eyes scanning every inch of the surrounding, ready to attack anything that comes at him.

"I know you're there. Show yourself!"

Inuyasha scanned the bushes as a female figure emerged.

"Sango?!"

Sango waved shyly. "Hiya…"

"What are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked, staring at Sango's startled expression.

"Well the sumo wrestling match was boring…and I wanted some peace and quiet and I ended up here."

"Hmph" Inuyasha layed back down on the grass, pulling his mask off and throwing it to the side. "Isn't your mother worried?"

"No..she's too involved in the sumo match" Sango sat down a foot away from Inuyasha, staring at the calm waters passing by in the stream. Inuyasha's nose wiggled around a bit.

"You smell..like..water lilies."

Sango was in awe. "Yes..it's a perfume my mother gave me. You have a fairly good nose"

Inuyasha smirked and closed his eyes. "Runs in the family." Sango inched her hand towards the mask lying between her and Inuyasha. It was blue and glittery, only covering the area around the eyes. She picked the mask up and examined it. It felt smooth, like extremely fine and glossy clay but it was thin between her fingers. Sango looked over at Inuyasha. She loved how the sun gently bounced off his skin, giving him a lovely, light glow. She turned her head, feeling her face turning redder by the second. Inuyasha opening up one eye slightly, looking up at Sango. Her skin looked so soft and comforting.

"Is something wrong?" Inuyasha asked.

"No, nothing at all. I was just..thinking about something is all."

"What were you thinking of?"

"Nothing important."

"Heh, must be something if it has your face turning red like that."

That just made Sango turn even redder.

"Come on, tell me what you're thinking." Inuyasha begged as he sat up, looking at Sango in a teasing manner.

"I told you, it was nothing."

"Nothing..heh I don't think so." Inuyasha stood up, taking a few steps so he could tower over Sango. "Tell you or I'll…I'll…tickle it out of you!" Inuyasha's hands started roaming around Sango's sides, tickling her gently. Sango's laughter started filling the forest air.

"Hahahahaha s-stop it Hahahaha." Sango twisted and turned her body trying to escape Inuyasha's grasp. He was persistent though. Finally Sango caved in and confessed.

"I was thinking about you!" She blurted out. Inuyasha smirked softly and stopped tickling Sango, instead he placed his hands besides Sango's head on both sides, trapping her as she laid down recovering from her laughing fest.

"Really now? What exactly were you thinking about?" Inuyasha looked down into Sango's eyes, he suddenly found himself lost in her chocolate orbs. Sango stared back at Inuyasha's golden eyes. Her face suddenly turned red, their faces drawing closer and closer… Both of them closed their eyes, their lips so close to touching.

"INUYASHA WHERE ARE YOU?! YOU'VE BEEN GONE FOR OVER AN HOUR AND A HALF!" Sesshomaru gracefully stepped through the bushes and looked down at Inuyasha laying on top of Sango. Sesshomaru crossed his arms and stared down at his brother as Sango and Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru then back at each other.

'Oh hell' Inuyasha thought.

There was a lot of explaining to be done.
