Chapter 2: My Will

Sango woke up trembling. She glanced at her alarm clock and noticed it was still early, 4:15 in fact. She threw her covers back and jumped over Naraku, careful not to wake him. She put on some sweats over her sleeping shorts and a white beater, with a sports bra underneath. She quickly slipped into her Nike's and was out the door in a matter of minutes. She started her day by stretching slightly, knowing her muscles must be tense from all that sleep. Afterwards she ran against the cold air for approximately 3 miles, this was a daily routine. Her breathing began to shorten and her legs screamed in pain but she ignored both and kept her eyes on the prize.

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

Naraku startled, woke up. He quickly looked for Sango in the extent of her bedroom and found nothing. He was worried, he didn't know the reason why but he was very worried. He reached for the door of the bedroom and opened the door; he came face to face with Sango. Her clothes were sticking to her, obviously because of the river of sweat covering her.

“Hey sleepyhead” she greeted with a smile

“That was fucked up” he said, his face full of concern

“What was?”

“You left, no note no warning, for what I know, you could have been kidnapped”

“Aww, Naraku, you were worried?” she said in a baby voice and gave him a quick smirk

“No way, you wanna get raped, that's you I just didn't want the blame” he said heartlessly

“Whatever you moron!” she said and pushed him out of the way

She took off her shirt and he noticed as her tight stomach and ribbed poked. He stared at Sango with much amusement. She kicked off her sneakers and proceeded with her pants. Naraku almost wanted to jump the young girl but held himself back.

'Only friends…nothing else' he reminded himself and looked away

“Sango!” he said suddenly as she begun taking off her shorts

“What?” she asked, confused at his outburst

“I don't wanna see you strip!” he lied

“Well…don't look, you ass, anyway it's my room I walk around naked if I want!” she snapped and grabbed her clothes, slamming the bathroom door behind her.

He shook his head and smirked; he got to the window sill and got out, approaching his home once again to get prepared for school.

Sango got out of the shower and changed into her usual sweats and shirt accompanied by a baseball cap. She grabbed her stuff and walked out the door; eating an apple on the way.

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

Sango entered the school doors. She felt an arm circle her shoulder and she almost had a fit until a a males voice spoke silently.

“Hey, san-san, what's up?” said Miroku with a big grin

“Cool, you?”

“Okay…listen, me and the crew talked the other day and since you might not get recruit-“

“Who says I'm not getting recruited?” she yelled at Miroku and noticed the others too

“Your hot ass temper!” snapped Inuyasha

“Look who's talking…” she said venomously

“Look, if you don't watch it, someone is going to take your place…” said Sesshomaru

“What! Is that a treat? Oh I'm sorry everyone of you gets a pat on the ass for a temper and I don't, I don't give a damn if I have to sit in that dugout through the whole game because it took my hot ass temper to get where I am and my hot ass temper ain't changing to please no one!” she practically yelled and everyone in the hall way stared at her. She was partially hurt but it didn't matter, she grabbed her stuff off the floor and stomped to class.

Naraku watched from the corner and thought for a minute.

`Yes, it was her temper which proved to me she could get somewhere being a woman in a males environment but it is different now, she has grown and I have, it takes much more that a stick up your ass to prove a point!' he nodded at his assumption and went to class.

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

After a full day of courses, she approached the gym. Unfortunately, her coach was late and she was forced to watch cheerleaders practice for an hour. She silently slipped in and watched attentively from the bleachers near the door.

“We got SPIRIT! Yeah Yeah

We got SPIRIT! Yeah Yeah

We got a what? What? What? What What?

We got SPIRIT Yeah Yeah

We got S-P-I-R-T

SPIRIT!”

She watched amused as Kagome and other girls did a round off, landing perfectly in line. They all jumped up and down like maniacs, doing toe touches and slips. Then they stopped once the captain and the others noticed Sango. Sango tried to make herself not noticeable by looking the other way; she really didn't like much attention.

“Look what we have here…” said the captain, Kykio menacingly

“Stop it!” pleaded Kagome

“No harm, just a little conversation…” she assured Kagome and looked back at Sango

“Hello Sango-chan”

“Hi” she said dryly

“Doesn't it just piss you off that almost every one of us except the JV team has slept with your boyfriend?”

“I don't know what you're talking about”

“Oh come on, don't tell me you don't like Naraku”

“What about him, he's not much other than a person”

“A person who has you tied on a leash, don't worry though you stay like you are now and he'll never accept you!”

“I don't need him to accept me”

“Just stop it okay?”

“Stop what?”

“He's always with you; you're making me look bad!”

“Didn't have to try very hard” Sango snapped and the infuriated cheerleader turned almost beet red.

“Remember this, I'm the girl everybody wants!” she said with pride

“More like the girl everybody's had!”

“Are you insulting me?”

“I don't know what makes you so stupid, but it really works!” she snapped with a fake grin

“Whatever!” she said rolling her eyes

“You know what, the other night Nar-“

“Cut the shit, Kykio…I'm out!” she said and went to the boy's baseball field. They were holding tryouts.

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

“Coach Kherido!” she said with a grin to the coach who looked at her with a confused face

“Well if it isn't Sango, how are you girl?” he said with a smile

“Fine, thanks, listen I need to ask you a favor”

“What?”

“Can I try out for the baseball team?” the coach was a bit stunned at her favor

“Sorry, I ca-“

“Oh, come on coach, you know I can play and Krisa has me riding the bench all the time!”

“I know Sango but this is no petty throw and catch, this is real hardcore stuff, I don't want you to get hurt!”

“Oh come on coach, how many times have I cried?”

“I know Sango but…let me take it up with the boys and I'll think about it!” he said and she smiled with half satisfaction

“Well, can I practice with the boys since Coach ain't coming?” she said with puppy dog eyes

“Sango you…okay, go ahead but if you hurt, I'm not responsible!” he warned her

“Thank you so much!” she screeched and got ready and ran to the boys.

Sango approached the boys and they looked at her with much joke in their eyes.

“Hey!” she said with a smile

“Sango, why you so dressed up?” asked Sesshomaru arrogantly

Sango made a mad face at his comment and forced herself to calm down.

“I'm playing!” she said firmly and took the bat from his hands, leaving them all speechless

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

Sango refined her grip on the bat and readied herself for the ball. Pitching was Naraku, the best pitcher on the team. He smirked at her before he made a comment.

“Hope softball ain't made you soft because I'm about to crack that bat!” he said and the others chuckled along with him

“Watch what you wish for, this cracked bat might just crack your balls” she said venomously and he pitched the ball.

“Come on doggie, doggie!” they all chanted

She hit the ball and she heard a gasp. They all turned around to see Inuyasha falling, his hands on his thighs. It just dawned on her; she just hit a 98 mph ball to his balls. She laughed, almost crying and followed the other concern ones to Inuyasha. The though wannabe ball player was crying, he was actually sobbing and dripping tears.

“You okay, Inu?”

“You just busted his balls…what you think?”

“That's why I love not having a stick between my legs!” she said and fell laughing, the others just looked at her hurt at her heartlessness.

“What?” she screeched and they all shook their head in dissolution.

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

Sango laid across her bed. She was exhausted and tired of everything right now. She turned on her CD player and closed her eyes, relishing the sound of the song.

“Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am

But things just get so crazy
Living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road
Get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
And back and forth we sway
Like branches in a storm
Change of weather
Still together when it ends

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

But things just get so crazy
Living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning rain is falling
And I'm calling out to you
Singing someday it will bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to you

May not know
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
Driving slow, yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah

There's a flower in your hair
I'm a flower in your hair

Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
Whoa, yeah”

Sango heard knocking to her window and poked her head up. Naraku stood there, giving her a smirk. She rolled her eyes and opened the window.

“What?”

“I heard about that incident with Kykio…”

“So?”

“Don't listen to her…she's just mad because she doesn't get to-“

“I don't really care…” she snapped, obviously hurt and jealous

“Kagome said you acted like you had just lost a game…”

“Hmm, nope I really never cared, it's enough hearing the moans but listening to you telling me is something I wish you would keep to yourself”

“So you hear them, huh?”

“Those bitches are screaming so loud I wouldn't be surprised if the people down the street complained”

“I bet you're still a virgin…”

“Listen Naraku, I don't care what you think you know, what the hell you want?”

“Feisty, eh, anyway, I talked to Kagome and all and she said that her and the team wouldn't mind if you would jo-“

“Did you lose your freaking mind?”

“It was just a question”

“A stupid one, considering how much you claim to know me. Screaming “Go Team Go” isn't going to satisfy my needs”

“And what are your needs?” he asked silkily

“Shut up, pervert, god sometimes I swear you've got a stick so far up your ass”

“I wouldn't mind seeing that little fit body in some panties and a mini skirt”

Sango punched Naraku, hard

“Ow, I was just joking.”

“Don't play with me; you'll get hurt trying me.”

“Look, coach talked to us about your little request and since Sesshomaru isn't taking too nicely about this, you probably have to sweet talk him”

“I don't bribe to play, I play because I can play!” she snapped

“I'm just kidding, after what you did to Inuyasha, we need a sub and no one else wants to do it…”

Sango smirked and walked over to her dresser; she pulled out a letter and handed it to him.

“What's this?” he asked

“A letter from the University, I couldn't open it”

“I'll do it” Naraku said with a smile and sat on her bed next to Sango.

“Man…” he said with an emotionless voice

“That's okay may” she started

“They want you!” he said with a small smile

“Oh, okay”

“They want you on the baseball varsity team!” he told and she started yelling and screaming joyfully

She was glad and not thinking; she pressed her lips against his and pulled back immediately

“I'm sorry” she whispered

He smiled and pressed his lips against hers once more. He nipped at her bottom lip which she granted. His experienced tongue moved against her inexperienced one. He relished the taste of her mouth and lips, a sugary taste that was addictive. They both finally pulled back at the same time, from lack of oxygen and stared at each other for a second.

“I” she started

“I better go…” he said blushing slightly and left. Sango watched as he left and she forced herself not to cry.

`Only friends…nothing else' she told herself mentally and fell asleep

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

Naraku sat in his living room, his head in his hands. He felt so stupid; he could probably bet that she felt he only wanted her for sex, that wasn't true. Sango had stolen his heart since they first met. Her personality, motivation, and warmness or lack there off was enough to make his heart melt. The only reason he dated other girl was because he always cared what people thought of him, that was a weakness. As an athlete he was expected to have girl hanging all over him, and date at least one cheerleader, which ended up being Kykio Jatsu.

The only problem with Kykio was that she was cocky, preppy, and could never keep her pants on. Yeah, sure he gave Kykio kisses and hugs, gifts and nights of extreme pleasure but his heart always belonged with Sango. Now, he had the utmost opportunity to show her and tell her how he felt and he blew it. He didn't know why, he always was an outspoken person and he always was the kind of person that told it like it was.

He was probably afraid of rejection, all girls floated around him except Sango. Sango was always there for him and gave him practical advice and that was all. He looked out of his bedroom window and looked at a sleeping Sango. She looked so beautiful while at rest. He turned away and laid on his bed and for the first time in a long time…he cried.
