Sango was greeted by her hellcat and a small fox kit as soon as she stepped foot back in town. For the first time since Naraku's death Sango had gone on an extermination just outside of Kaede's village. Kagome had insisted on accompanying her and Inuyasha wasn't keen on taking no for an answer, but some how the tajiya convinced the couple that she felt fine going on her own and that she needed to (She didn't even take her trusted sidekick, Kirara). It was there she found herself again through Hiraikotsu, battling as fiercely (if not fiercer) than she had a few years ago.
She rubbed the neko youkai's chin affectionately as Shippo clambered onto her shoulder, bombarding her with all sorts of questions. Though the small fox demon had an inseparable bond with Kagome he had clung closer to Sango in the times of her hardships. She patted him too, picking up her gait at Kirara pranced back towards the village.
"Was the demon big? Was it hard to kill?! Well, how was it?!" Shippo gushed, his tail wiggling with anticipation. Sango held in laughter and dug into one of her many sashes and bags.
"Well, it wasn't anything extraordinary, but... I did bring this back for a certain demon in training." She revealed the polished skull of whatever unfortunate demon had met it's end at the hands of Sango. Shippo's cerulean eyes widened as his tiny hands grasped the skull in amazement. "Ah... Sango, sugoi! Thank you!" He leapt from her shoulder in excitement.
Upon hearing Shippo's shrill voice Kagome's head emerged from her hut. Her eyes widened as she rushed forth to greet her friend. "Sango-chan! You're back, and you look well!" Sango smiled as she clasped hands were her. "Hai. It was easy enough, everything went well." It was then she eyed Kagome's hanyou mate, standing a ways off with some sort of parcel and looking more disgruntled than usual.
He approached once their eyes met, ignoring Shippo's boasts of a demon skull. He stood beside Kagome. "Yo." Was all he uttered before tossing the package to the ground. Kagome shot him a warning look.
"Inuyasha.." He huffed, crossing his arms and looking away from his fiancee. Sango looked between the two before hesitantly leaning down to retrieve the item.
"It's from that mangy wolf." The words made a sudden blush race across Sango's cheeks. 'Koga... He left this for me?' That would explain Inuyasha's sour demeanor. He watched as she unraveled the crude wrapping to reveal a lavish wolf pelt skirt and an armored bust covering. There were even arm coverings and legs coverings. Sango was completely shocked as she stroked the fur.
"Is there something going on between you two?" Sango cheeks flushed immediately. 'Yes? No? I don't... Know?' Kagome looked mortified as she swatted the hanyou, immediately changing the subject. "Ah, it's lovely Sango!. Beautiful fur, you should try it on-"
"If he won't leave you alone I'll give him a beating and-"
"INUYASHA, why don't you go talk with Shippo about his skull?" Kagome suggested a bit forcefully. Inuyasha wrinkled his nose in protest.
"I don't want to. I want to find out why Koga won't stay the hell off of my territory. If I have to, I will rip him to shre-"
"SIT BOY."
Sango was surprised when Inuyasha crashed forcefully into the ground. She hadn't seen this old routine since well before Naraku's death. Grabbing firmly on to Sango's arm she lead her away. Sango was thankful for that. She couldn't hide her blush anymore as she rubbed the silky pelt between her fingers.
