Chapter 4: Three Months Later (Revised)

 

 

The lonely hours dragged into days, weeks, and finally into months. Before she knew it, three months had come and gone in the blink of an eye. Sango closed her eyes, letting her mind drift once again to the same golden eyes that had haunted her dreams throughout these past lonely months.

After a while she opened her eyes, letting a sigh escape her lips. `Why can't I stop thinking about him? The reason I left for a while was to stop thinking of him! He still haunts me during my sleep and while I'm awake, I cannot escape him.'

She lowered her gaze back down to the resting neko-demon in her lap.

“Kirara I think it's about time we went back to them.” Sango whispered, mostly to herself.

Kirara slid one eye open when she heard her name spoken. Yawning, she stretched and then sat up, looking at Sango expectantly.

“Are you ready to go back?” Sango asked.

Kirara blinked her crimson eyes and then let out a little mew.

Sango chuckled and then started to get to her feet. “Well I guess now is as good a time as ever.” Sango said, glancing back at the small clearing she had been sitting in.

“It was so peaceful here…I just feel like something is missing…my heart is somewhere else.”

Sango sighed again; packing her things. After she was finished, she turned and walked into the middle of the small clearing.

Standing in the middle, Sango lifted her pale face to the warm rays of the sun, letting herself be bathed in its soothing warmth.

`How am I going to face him again? Will he remember the kiss he gave me that last night I saw him?'

She finally picked up her things; climbing onto the now transformed neko-demon.

“Let's go, Kirara. Find Inuyasha and the rest of the group; I'm ready to go back now.”

Kirara let out a deep growl and took off into the sky.

Sango kept her gaze ahead of her, scanning the area for a glimpse of red or silver. They flew for a while until Sango gave up looking and told Kirara to head to Kaede's village. Sango then slipped into her own thoughts.

`I should have gotten over him by now… but I can still feel that warm bubbly feeling I had gotten when his soft lips covered mine.'

Sango's hand slowly made its way to her lips; she subconsciously rubbed her thumb across her lower lip.

`Inuyasha…'

Sango came out of her thoughts with a jolt when she felt Kirara land. She looked up at her surroundings and found that she was indeed outside of Kaede's village. After getting over her shock, Sango felt the beginnings of nervousness as she slung Hiraikotsu onto her back, careful of her sore shoulder, and picked up her bag of clothing from Kirara's back.

`Why am I so nervous…? It's only Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Shippou. No big deal. I've been traveling with them for almost two years now; I shouldn't be nervous…but I am…what's wrong with me?'

Sango came from her thoughts as the smaller version of Kirara jumped into her arms. Sango looked down at expectant red eyes.

“Well I guess I didn't come all this way to run away huh?!” Sango said putting on a determined façade, when inside she was practically quaking from fear and nervousness.

Sango started to walk the familiar path to Kaede's hut, looking around her at all the familiar sights.

“It feels like forever since I've been here.” she whispered, continuing on her way to the village.

Sango finally walked up to the entrance to Kaede's hut. She could hear Shippou's laughter, and Kagome's cheerful voice coming from inside the hut. She hesitated a while but, before she could stop her, Kirara jumped from her arms and ran into the hut.

Sango could hear Shippou's squeal of delight as he saw Kirara enter, and then she could hear Miroku's voice. Sango suddenly became scared.

`I'm not ready to see them again… I can't…'

Sango started to back away from the entrance to the hut, but before she could turn and run back into the forest, she saw Kagome run out of the hut and slam into her, practically toppling them both over in the process.

“I can't believe you're back Sango! Why did you leave? You had us so worried!” Kagome yelled in her ear, hugging her friend tightly.

“I'm glad to see you too, Kagome…I'm sorry I took off like that; I just needed some…time…alone.” Sango slowly finished with forced optimism, pulling out of Kagome's embrace.

“Why did you leave? Was it because of us?” Kagome asked.

Sango looked into Kagome's questioning dark eyes and then turned away.

“No, it's not you…I just needed time to think, you know? Plus I wanted to visit my village for a while since I hadn't been there for so long.” Sango lied.

Kagome cocked her head, but then hugged Sango again and turned towards the hut.

“Come on, Sango. Everybody is waiting.” Kagome carried on heedlessly, looking expectantly at Sango.

Sango looked behind her at the forest that she so longed to run back into, but she pushed that feeling away and followed Kagome into the hut. Taking one last calming breath, she stepped into the hut, letting her eyes adjust to the darkness. Once able to see well enough, she looked around at her former companions.

Miroku looked the same as ever; his violet eyes were looking up at her with happiness and mischief mixed within their violet debts. Sango turned and saw Shippou playing with Kirara. Sango let a small smile grace her face as she saw their innocent games. But the smile slipped from her lips as she turned again and her eyes fell onto Inuyasha, who was sitting in a corner with his arms folded in his sleeves; he wasn't looking at her. Sango looked away and walked farther into the hut. She turned and saw a now recovered Kaede sorting bottled herbs in the far corner.

“Hi everyone!” Sango said with false cheerfulness.

“Hello Sango; I'm glad you decided to come back. We missed you.” Miroku said.

Sango felt Shippou jump onto her shoulder, but she felt a jolt of pain flow through her veins and she hissed in discomfort. Everyone looked up at her pain filled face.

“Sango, what's wrong?” Kagome asked her voice laced with concern.

Sango picked Shippou's light weight off of her injured shoulder and placed him on her other shoulder.

“It's okay guys; just an injury I got in a recent battle. Nothing to worry about, it's almost healed anyway.” Sango elaborated, hiding the pain that still flowed through her.

“Oh okay.” Kagome murmured.

Later that night, Sango slipped out of her futon and silently walked outside, careful not to wake any one. Once outside, she took a deep breath of the cool night air. Her hand clutched her shoulder; she could still feel jolts of pain shoot through her. She sighed and walked to the edge of the forest.

`It feels so good to be back…but not everything is the same as it used to be…there is tension between me and my old companions.'

Sango let a sigh escape her as she trudged into the forest, letting her thoughts run loose.

`But wasn't I expecting this? I need to earn their trust back. I mean, after just walking out on them I shouldn't be surprised.'

Sango stopped suddenly when she reached her destination. She looked up into the sacred tree.

`Why does this tree keep calling out to me, pulling me to it like it has a string tied to my very soul?'

Sango was once again pulled out of her thoughts when she heard a noise behind her. She quickly turned and tensed when she saw Inuyasha standing there.

“I…Inuyasha?” She stammered.

Inuyasha slid his golden gaze to her, and she gasped when she saw the pain laced with anger swimming within his piercing gaze.

“Why did you come back?!” He glowered.
