Sail away, Sail away

**************

"KAGOME…Watch out!!!" But Inuyasha's shouts weren't quick enough. He stood rooted to the spot with Tetsusaiga limp in his grasp, as he looked on, in slow motion it seemed, as the demon snakes tail swept across the field and made contact with Kagomes body.

It was hard for Inuyasha to process what he was seeing as Kagomes body sailed over head, above the tress and out of sight.

He continued standing there as the battle raged on. He watched as Sango dealt the final blow to the demon with her Hiraikotsu. Once the giant boomerang returned to its owner, Miroku steeped up, grabbing a hold of his pray beads on his arm that sealed his Air Rip.

"Sango," He called over his shoulder, "grab hold of everyone and hang on." Once Sango plucked the frightened Kitsune off of his leg, she secured herself, Inuyasha and Shippou to a near by tree. She then nodded her head to Miroku to go a head and unleash the Air Rip.

With in a few moments, the battle field became deathly quiet. Miroku just stood there looking at the remaining of his friends.

Inuyasha was extremely pale. More so then normal for him. And by judging by the shocked expression on his face, he must still be seeing Kagome's, so-called lifeless body, flying through the air and has probably never felt so helpless in his entire being.

The Kitsune cub, Shippou, on the other hand was so much worse off. Miroku had to chuckle slightly to himself at the appearance of him. He was a complete fluff-ball from head to tail. From complete fright. But fright from what, Miroku wasn't quite sure of. But it diffenetly wasn't from the snake demon its self. He just didn't know if it was from the blow that Kagome received or from the fact that Inuyasha just stood there and absolutely did nothing to prevent it from happening.

Miroku shook his head to clear it and just stared at all of them. Sango was attempting to sooth the fox-child but to no avail. He gave a quick look over on Sango and noted she had some minor injuries but nothing serious. As for Shippou, there were no physical injuries that he can see, just emotional ones. They better find Kagome soon and fast. Which now brought his attention to the inu-hanyou.

Inuyashas injuries were minor as well except for a gapping gash in his upper arm, but he knew he felt no pain. Miroku cautiously walked over to the dog-demon, who still wore the same shocked expression on his face, and slowly placed his hand on his shoulder as to not startle him into ripping him to shreds.

He led Inuyasha away a few paces, then stopped. He was about to question him, Inuyasha started on his own.

"I-I couldn't s-save her this t-time…" He trailed off. Looking in the general direction Kagom flew off in. "I-I failed her." he said, sinking to his knees.

"I have never failed her before. I was always there."

"DAMN THIS BODY…" He bellowed into the heavens. "Damn this slow half breeds body." He bowed his head down, ears dropping as well in shame.

Miroku stood beside him for a while. He then tenderly placed his hand on to the hanyous shoulder, letting him know he's not alone in his grief. Sango, Shippou and Kiria came over and sat next to Inuyasha. There was no need for words as he gently embraced Sango, burring his face into her shoulder. The Exterminator was quite shocked, none the less, by this sudden show of emotions from him, but gratefully returned the hug and cried on each others shoulders quietly.

"I never got to say how much I loved her." He softly mumbled into her shoulder so the others couldn't hear what he was saying.

"I-I wanted t-to ask her to b-be my mate, when the mission was over."

There!! He said it. His whole heart was out in the open now, just waiting to be mocked by her cause he was a worthless hanyou, not worthy enough to receive the love from the woman he so deeply loved.

But…it never came. Instead, Sango shook her head and wiped away her remaining tears. She then gently placed her one hand onto his shoulder while the other tilted up his chin to face her. She took a deep breath in, trying desperately to figure out how to help comfort him.

**Flashback**

The sun was shining high in the sky, which indicated to Kagome is about noontime. They were all trekking back to the village with a newly acquired piece to Shikon no Tama.

Inuyasha, for the most part, had a very smug look on his face at a job well done.

`One step closer.' He thought to him self.

Well, no one else thought the same way, anyway. The demon they pursued wasn't very hard to defeat. All-in-all, it took about an hour or so. The problem, though, was the fact that when Inuyasha dealt the final blow to the demon through its back, it just so happened, that everyone else happened to be in front of it. So, when he pushed his sword through its back and shredded it with his claws, it sent end-trails and blood over everyone in the group.

But, just before that took place, the demon attempted a last ditch effort with its claws poised at Kagome. So, she covered her eyes and screamed. There was no where to run to. When nothing happened, she peeked through her fingers and saw Inuyasha towering over her, eyes wide. That was the last she saw and fainted.

She started to wake in layers. First, she noticed she was very warm and laying on something soft. Second, she heard someone calling to her. Distant at first. Then gradually coming closer, louder, while she felt someone caressing her cheek.

Her eyes slowly fluttered opened and she noticed, slowly at first, that she was looking into two very worried golden eyes.

"Gods, Kagome, I was so scared!" He whispered into her ear while nuzzling her neck. "Are you ok?"

She nodded and gave him weak smile that melted his heart as she placed her small hand on his cheek saying, "I'll be fine as long as I know you're here with me."

Little did they know, Sango witnessed the whole thing between the pair. She already knew how much they loved each other, but were still to stubborn to say anything to each other. Kind of like her and a certain perverted monk she knew, she mused to herself. Hopefully one day they might confess.

**End of Flashback**

Sango knew now what to do.
