InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sango's new role ❯ Chapter 2

Part 2.

- Inuyasha!!

- Hi Sango, said Inuyasha with a smirk.

He had been watching Sango for a few minutes before he made his presence known. Something inside his chest had stirred and come to life while he watched them.

- So when did you fool around with my brother? asked Inuyasha and saw Sango put her finger into the milk and put it to the baby's mouth. He knew perfectly well that it was not her baby, but he could not help but tease her a bit. She always became so flustered when it came down to these kind of things.

- Huh?

Sango looked up; it took her a few seconds before she turned crimson red.

- She is not mine, I found her today outside my door Inuyasha, she said with a stutter.

- See, she likes your finger, said Inuyasha and pointed towards the pup.

Sango looked down and saw that the baby began to suckle her finger. She let out a small sigh of relief and dipped the finger once more into the bowl. The silence fell of the small hut, Inuyasha sat down in the doorway, his golden eyes never left the taijya and the baby. They looked so… he searched for a word… peaceful together. He snapped out of his little trance when he heard Sango's voice.

- What brings you to my village Inuyasha? asked Sango without taking her eyes from the baby.

- I wanted to see you, said Inuyasha.

- Me? Why?

- I wanted to see how you were doing? Is there something wrong with that?

- No, I was just curious. You seemed so angry with me when I left Kaede's village…

- Why did you leave Sango?

- I am not a woman that sits around all day, I wanted action. I moved back here, rebuild some of the houses in my old village and I have earned my living by doing what I am good at.

- Feeding baby hanyous'?

He smiled when he said that and his smile grew wider when he saw her cheeks flare red again.

- So how are the others doing? Miroku, Shippou and Kaede? asked Sango, ignoring his last remark.

- Miroku has found a wife and he is soon going to be a father. Shippou is hanging around Kaede, helping her with her miko duties. I guess they have faired well this last year, said Inuyasha.

- And you?

- Huh?

- What have you been doing Inuyasha? asked Sango with a soft tone.

- Nothing much, looked after the others like I always have before.

- Still the pack leader?

He nodded and looked out the door.

Sango frowned a bit, was that the cause? Had he been angry with her because she choose to leave the pack? She needed to know.

- Were you angry with me because I left the pack Inuyasha? asked Sango and began rocking the baby, trying to get her to sleep.

- I was not angry, only… disappointed.

- Why?

- You are a good provider as well Sango. You are strong…

Inuyasha bit his lip; he had almost given himself away. After Kagome's decision to stay in her time, Inuyasha had begun to see Sango as the lead female of the pack. When he heard her telling them that she was leaving it had hurt his hanyou heart a lot. It was then he realized that he held deeper feelings for the taijya. Kaede had actually kicked him out of her hut two weeks ago, telling him that he should look up on Sango if he was so worried about her. Once again his mind travelled away with him and he shook his white head and got up on his feet. He sniffed the area to make sure it was safe. Seeing Sango with a child had his protective side come out in full display.

- Inuyasha, do you have any idea about who this child belongs to? asked Sango and walked up to the hanyou.

He sniffed the baby but shook his head.

- The only inu youkai I know of is your brother, can it be his?

That made Inuyasha laugh but he shook his head again.

- No, he hates humans, so I doubt he would bed one. Plus I can not smell his blood inside her.

- So there are more dog demons lurking around out there?

- Obviously.

A dark growling sound could be heard from Sango and she blushed. She was hungry.

- Umm, Inuyasha?

- Yes?

- Could you hold her for a few minutes while I make something to eat?

- Me?

- No your brother, snorted Sango. - I don't think she will bite you, she is asleep.

He nodded and held out his arms and Sango gently put the pup in a comfortable position. She saw Inuyasha close his arms around the little bundle. She walked over to the kitchen area and soon she had a fire going. She worked fast, afraid that Inuyasha would be angry with her if she let the baby too long with him. But when she looked at them she calmed down a bit. He did not look like he minded holding her at all.

Soon she had a soup brewing on the fire and she invited Inuyasha to sit down and eat with her.

- Do you want me to take her again?

- No, I can manage, said Inuyasha and surprised Sango.

He sat down and held the baby with one hand and began eating in a civilised manner. Sango's mouth dropped, that was something she never thought she would ever see. Inuyasha eating calmly?

- Blame granny Kaede, he mumbled.

- Huh?

- She has been beating it into me, or rather, blackmailing me into eating with manners. She would not provide me with cooked food unless I began to behave around her.

- Ohh, ok. Are you sure you don't want me to take the baby?

- No, the pup is fine, she is asleep.

Sango giggled a bit and began eating her soup. Inuyasha looked rather content with the baby inside his arms. And the way he handled her, Sango was sure he would be a good father one day.

- Are you going to name her? asked Inuyasha.

- Name her?

- Yeah, or are you going to call her baby or pup? snickered the half demon. He saw the tiny ears on top of the girl's head flicker.

- I suppose I should give her a name…

Sango looked down into her bowl and stirred the content around with her spoon. Give name to the girl meant that she attached herself to her. What if the mother or father came back to take her away? But Inuyasha was right, the girl needed a name.

- I don't know any good names Inuyasha, said Sango.

- What about Seiya?

That was a name he had in mind for a future daughter. But seeing this little pup, he knew that he could never let her go. And he could not leave Sango either, he would stay by her side from now on.

- Seiya is a good name Inuyasha. What made you think of it?

- I just thought that would be a good name for a girl.

- But you said it without even thinking…

- Alright, I have had that name in mind for a future daughter of mine.. OK!

His little outburst made the girl open her eyes and she let out a whining sound. Inuyasha looked down and saw tears forming in the girls golden eyes. He hushed her and he began purring instinctively, calming the girl down.

Sango was at loss; that was something she never thought she would see, Inuyasha comforting a child. Then she began to think about what he had said. "A future daughter, so he has been thinking about building a family with someone?" Sango could kick herself for that thought. "Of course he wants a family, who doesn't? He is no different from the rest of us." But did he have a special someone in mind yet?

- Inuyasha?

- Mmm, said Inuyasha without taking his eyes from the girl.

- Do you have anyone?

- What do you mean?

- Do you have a special someone that you want to start a family with? whispered Sango.

- Yes.

- Oh, that is good.

- But she does not know it yet, said Inuyasha and looked up to meet the dark eyes of Sango. She looked a bit sad.

- Do I know her?

- Yes, I believe you do.

- Are you going to court her?

- If she wants me to I will.

- Oh, I am happy for you Inuyasha. I am happy that you have found someone.

Sango rose to her feet and began to take away the things on the table. Her heart was transformed to a black hole and she wanted to cry when she realized that she liked the dog eared hanyou more than just a friend. And now he was going to court someone else. "Get a hold of your self girl, you are strong, you don't cry, you don't love. That is your destiny, walk alone with only Kirara as a companion." She wiped away a tear with an angry movement.

- Sango, why are you crying? asked Inuyasha.

Sango jumped, she had not heard him get so close to her.

- Nothing special, just tired, she mumbled and blushed.

- If it is making you cry it must be something, said Inuyasha and put a hand on her shoulder.

- It is nothing, said Sango more sternly. - Shall I take her?

He nodded and handed over the pup to the slayer. He saw her take the girl and hug her close, it was something desperate over her appearance and it made him frown a bit.

Sango looked down on the sleeping girl. Inuyasha must have some magical purring she decided. "Even if I don't have a special someone, I have you at least Seiya." thought Sango and felt a bit better. "I will make you my daughter and I will raise you to be a strong girl, ok?" she mentally spoke to the girl and walked into the room where her futon was located.

- I think I will get me some sleep Inuyasha. Feel free to stay if you like, said Sango without looking at the hanyou.

He nodded and saw Sango close the door behind her. He settled down on the porch. "Like I could leave you now Sango, no, I will stay and protect you and Seiya. And if you will allow it, I will court you as well." He smiled and sniffed the air and listened around, there was nothing threatening around so he closed his eyes.
