Chapter 10: The Awakening (Revised)

 

 

 

Hours after Kagome had left the small hut, Inuyasha's thoughts still remained on what had occurred between them.

`How could she come back and face me after I broke her heart?'

Inuyasha kept asking himself, wondering what her reason was for deciding on staying in the feudal era with him.

`She's a strong person…even through her heartbreak she could still be happy for me and my decision to be with Sango.'

Inuyasha's gaze hovered over to the doorway for what seemed like the hundredth time since Kagome had left.

`She's always been like that though, always other people's happiness before her own. I hope you find your own happiness Kagome…you deserve it.'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

His brows were furrowed in deep thought; his golden eyes were narrowed and unseeing.

Sango could see his cute silver ears twitching on the top of his head, and she knew he hadn't noticed she had awoken yet.

Sango slid her lids back over her ginger eyes and opened her mind to the troubling thoughts that had plagued her in her sleep.

Images of Inuyasha's passion filled eyes, soft touch, the heat of his mouth covering her own, the feel of him underneath her all flashed through her mind and Sango couldn't help but become flushed at remembering the events that had happened last night.

`Last night…wait what day is it…how long have I been asleep?'

Sango cracked her eyes open again and saw the beam of the evening light peeking into the darkened hut.

Sango slowly sat up surprised to not feel the familiar twinge of pain come from her right shoulder.

She looked down at her shoulder and saw that it was freshly wrapped. Her hand slowly made its way to her wrapped shoulder and ran her fingers over the rough material. She could still feel a dull soreness in her shoulder but the pain was gone. It felt like a part of her had gone as well.

`This was the wound my brother gave me…the last time I saw him alive…this pain has always been a reminder of my broken promise to him, to keep him safe, to…'

Sango chocked down a sob. She's lived with her injury for so long out of choice she welcomed the pain, the reminder of what she has to do when Naraku is defeated.

She let her hand fall back down to her lap. When she heard a sound at her side she looked up to find her self-staring into a pair of concerned golden eyes.

“You shouldn't be sitting up yet.”

Sango shuddered when she heard his deep velvety voice, images of that night running through her mind. She could feel her face beginning to get warm and she knew he could see the pink flush that was obviously spreading across her face. She broke her eye contact with him and looked down at her fingers, avoiding his gaze.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

Seeing movement out of the corner of his eye, he snapped to attention. Turning, he was surprised to see Sango sitting up looking around her as if she didn't know where she was. Watching her for a minute, he remained still. Watching her touch her shoulder, he curiously noted that her eyes narrowed. He saw sorrow and guilt filling their brown depths. Then he heard the small noise that sounded almost like a sob. He rushed over to her, crouching down, noting her every movement.

“You know you shouldn't be sitting up yet.” Inuyasha said matter-of-factly.

Sango stared at him and then he was surprised to see the flush that started to appear on her milky skin.

She averted her eyes from him and said nothing. Inuyasha started to feel uncomfortable, he didn't know what to say and he didn't want to embarrass her again.

He jumped in surprise when her voice broke the awkward silence between them.

“How long have I been sleeping?” She asked quietly.

Inuyasha hesitated.

“About a week…”

Sango's eyes met his in apparent surprise.

“A week!”

“Yeah your shoulder got infected and the infection was starting to spread through your blood.” He elaborated.

`Might as well tell her half of the truth and wait until when she is better to tell her the whole truth'

He silently decided.

Sango lowered her eyes in shame not wanting to meet Inuyasha's.

Inuyasha tenderly hooked his finger under her chin forcing her to look up at him.

“ What's the matter?”

Sango hesitated but then let out a rush of air.

“ I…I don't know its just that after what happened…it might be a week for you but it feels like it just happened yesterday…I think it was a mistake…I just think I was vulnerable because I'm still mourning over the loss of my brother and I needed to confide in someone else.” Sango said in a rush not meeting Inuyasha's eyes.

Inuyasha blinked in confusion but then when he figured out what she was talking about his eyes narrowed and he jerked his hand away from her.

“Why are you doing this? You know as well as I do that all of that didn't happen because of you needing comfort! You wanted me, I could see it in your eyes!” Inuyasha yelled.

Sango turned from him and looked at the only window in the hut.

“Inuyasha whatever happened that night can't happen again…I can't have any sort of relationship with a…” Sango trailed off.

“A what? A demon right?! I didn't fucking kill your brother! I've always protected you! You have never judged me before, why now?! You're just afraid of your feelings!”

Sango lay back down and turned on her side.

She was scared; she had never felt these feelings before. All her life she was taught to kill and hate demons, especially demons portraying themselves as humans…and now she found herself having feelings for one.

Her people were killed because of demons; she can't go around falling in love with one! Especially when she planned to join her family in the heavens after she killed Naraku and avenged her family.

“I just can't have feelings for you Inuyasha it's against everything I've ever been taught and plus even if we did start something it won't last after Naraku is dead, you'll be going to hell with Kikyou and I'll be joining my family.” She trailed off, surprised she had said that aloud.

Inuyasha's head jolted up and he rolled her back over on her back.

“What do you mean you'll be joining your family after Naraku is dead?”

“I made a promise to them after I performed Kohaku's burial and I won't go back on my word again!”

Inuyasha looked down into her fierce eyes in surprise.

`She's going to kill herself after Naraku dies?'

“Why?” was all he managed to get out through the knot that had formed in his chest.

Sango's eyes flicked to the window behind him and then back to him.

“I made a promise to my brother…and I broke that promise I will not go back on this.”

“But Kohaku wouldn't hold any of that against you if you're happy.” He trailed off just now noticing the position they were currently in.

Inuyasha's gaze turned from hard golden rocks to liquid warmth filled with longing. Sango was surprised at the sudden change and soon she could feel her body responding to his closeness and the look in his eyes; she cursed her body's betrayal.

He leaned down and touched his lips with hers and her protest suddenly didn't matter anymore. All that mattered were his soft lips against hers and his warm body covering her heated body.

Sango tipped her head back giving Inuyasha more access, and he parted from the kiss and started to plant soft kisses over her neck and he scrapped one of his rough fangs over her pulsing vein. Her body arched into him wanted more of his caress, wanting his hands over her naked flesh, but she quickly came back to reality when she heard someone clearing their throat from the entrance of the hut. Sango's eyes snapped open and she quickly pushed Inuyasha away. She looked over to see the intruder and her face flushed when she saw an impatient looking Kaede standing at the door.

“Kaede…I…I'm sorry” she stuttered out.

Kaede smiled at her and walked to the side of her futon.

“I see ye feeling better, I guess ye be able to be up and about by tomorrow.” She said while giving Sango a cup filled with a hot dark fluid.

Sango sniffed it and wrinkled her nose at the smell of it. She looked up at Kaede but Kaede urged her to drink it and so Sango gulped it down quickly not wanting to taste it.

When she was finished she gave the empty cup back to Kaede and laid back down lying on her side facing away from Inuyasha.

Kaede looked at the both of them and then slowly got up.

“Inuyasha you will stay away from Sango for the next week while she regains her strength.”

Inuyasha was about to put up a fight but Kaede interrupted him.

“I don't care what you think it's for the best for Sango, she doesn't need the distraction you cause her to have while she is recovering so I'm banning you from seeing her.”

Inuyasha huffed and gave Kaede a challenging glare.

“Like you can stop me.”

She met his challenge with an incredulous look.

“If you force me to I will. I warn you Inuyasha don't go near her.”

Kaede said turning to go. When she didn't hear any footsteps behind her she turned back around. She saw Inuyasha still sitting in his spot stubbornly.

`Fine if you want to be that way…'

Kaede turned and faced Sango and muttered an enchantment and then took a necklace out from under her kimono and placed it around the now sleeping Sango's neck. Right when the necklace settled against Sango's neck it glowed a light blue and then the next thing they knew Inuyasha was being thrown out of the hut and into the middle of the forest outside.

“Ump that serves him right! Now he can't go within 600 feet from her before he will get repelled and thrown back a mile.” Kaede muttered chuckling as she walked out of the hut.

 

 

Thanks to my reviewers:

 

 

The Creator: thanks for reviewing I really appreciate it, I even think it was kind of dramatic but oh well.

 

Sarah: thanks for reviewing and I'm really glad you like this fic too! I hope you keep reading, and about Kagome and Miroku well I wanted them to accept the relationship cause it would be hard to write a fic where they go nuts and just split up so I wanted to keep them together.

 

Looser-ville: Thanks so much! Yea I've read a lot of fics and I've noticed that they mostly focus on the main character's feelings so I wanted to add what Miroku and Kagome where going through as well.

 

Sango da Taijiya: Hey I'm glad you like my fic and your reviewing I really appreciate it! About Kagome being nice in this chappy well I personally like Kagome too so I don't want her to be all snobby and mean just because Inuyasha didn't pick her you know? So that's why she is going to be nice and understanding in my fic.

 

Sourstarburst4: Hey thanks for the review and thanks for wishing our band luck cause it worked we got straight superiors! Also about Kagome and Miroku no I'm not going to have them end up together cause that would be too much of a coincidence so I think after Naraku is dead Miroku is going to go his own way and find someone and Kagome is going to find someone as well.

 

Rune: hey thanks for reviewing I'm glad you like my fic and yea I also think having angst in a fic makes it a lot better.

 

 

A/N: Okay guys that's its for praising my fans! Thanks to all of you guys that reviewed and are reading my fic! Well I'm not going to be updating until next weekend probably cause I have to take Sunday this weekend to recuperate from homecoming dance lol so I hope you guys can wait till then I'm really sorry that I haven't updated for so long its just one I haven't had time and two I hade some writers block so I'll try to update more often since marching band season is over and I'll have all the time in the world to do stuff.
