Offer from a fallen friend

 

 

 

Inuyasha looked at the list Kaede had given him, then back at the small flower. It looked right enough, but he wanted to make sure, looking for one that resembled the picture perfectly.

 

Rustle

 

Inuyasha's ears twitched as he turned slowly, noticing that a bush was moving rapidly. He frowned, drawing Tetsusaiga and nearing the foliage.

 

“Got you!”

 

“MEW!”

 

Kirara let out a cry and leapt onto his shoulder. He sighed, sheathing the weapon. “You didn't have to scare me like that, did you?” Kirara nuzzled his neck. “You want to help me find something to save Sango?” The kitsune nodded. “Ok, let me ask you if this flower looks like the one Kaede drew.”

 

“Mew!”

 

“I thought so too.” The hanyou said with a smirk. He put them in the bag he had brought, the began looking for the next item, a wild root that grew near hot springs. He had the perfect place in mind to find it: The springs Kagome and Sango bathed in.

 

Use to bathe. Inuyasha corrected himself. I doubt we'll be seeing her and Kagome having a nice soak anytime soon. Kirara meowed sadly, realizing where they were going. Inuyasha sighed, holding his arms out for her to be cradled better.

 

“You know, I am half dog demon…” Kirara yawned. “But I see you could care less about natural enemies, huh?”

 

After a minute they made it to the hot springs. Inuyasha began to poke around trees, looking for a small growth that would be near their base. This would be a spring root, the final ingredient.

 

“What about this one Kirara? Think it will do?”

 

“I think it will.”

 

Inuyasha paused. “I know you didn't say that Kirara….” He spun, the kitsune leaping from his arms as he drew Tetsusaiga once more…

 

…and found himself staring at a nude Sango.

 

She was laying in the springs, her shirt slung over a rock, her eyes closed, arms stretched wide. Her body was underwater just enough to keep her decent, but to give Inuyasha's imagination plenty to play with.

 

Kirara mewed softly, watching her partner as she dipped her hand in the water and smiled. “Perfect night for a bath, don't you think?”

 

“You aren't fooling me Sango…I still smell demon on you. And the black nails are a giveaway.”

 

“Don't forget the fangs Inuyasha.” She said, flashing them. Kirara let out a sad meow and hide behind the hanyou's leg. “but I am not here to fight. Well, not yet anyway. I came here to offer you something, but figured I would treat myself. You have no idea how good this water feels!” She licked her lips and sighed, leaning her head back. “Care to join me?”

 

Inuyasha smiled. “No thanks, I don't bathe with demons.”

 

“Never know unless you try it…oh well…when you are ready to talk, come and get me. I'll be waiting.” With that, she leaned further back, till her head rested on the rock, her arms stretched.

 

This is so strange. Inuyasha thought. With her like that, it's as if she is the same old Sango. If I didn't have my nose, I would swear it was.

 

He stepped forward. “Spit it out. What do your masters want?”

 

“They aren't my masters.” Sango said, opening one eye, the red light casting a strange glow on her face. “They are my friends, my family. But what would you know about family or friends? Everyone is either a tool or an enemy to you, isn't that right Inuyasha?”

 

He let out a growl. “Don't act like you know me demon.”

 

“But I do know you Inuyasha. In your heart of hearts…you are jealous. Jealous I have become what you always dreamed you would be: A full demon, free of those damn human emotions.”

 

“Get to the point and stop the games!” Inuyasha shouted, tightening his grip on his sword.

 

Sango sighed. “No.” She smiled and wiggled in the water. “I feel too good in here. I think I will soak a bit more.” She turned and grinned. “But could you go tell Kagome I am here? I'd love for us to have one of our good ol' talks!”

 

Inuyasha growled and raised his blade. “You have till three to talk, then I am staining the waters with your tainted blood.”

 

Sango sighed. “very well. My new friends Ryu, Neko and Kagura…”

 

“KAGURA!?!”

 

“Oh, did I forget to mention we are now friends with her? She is a nice demon, very polite. We had a nice dinner just an hour ago.” She licked her lips. “Naraku was delicious.”

 

Inuyasha nearly dropped his sword. “You ATE Naraku!”

 

Sango nodded slowly. “Oh yea…” She raised out of the water, giving Inuyasha a view of something Miroku would have given his soul to see. She patted her belly and burped. “Oops.” She giggled.

 

“You are sick.”

 

“To each his own.” She stayed out of the water up to her navel, so Inuyasha couldn't see her tail, still making her look almost exactly like Sango.

 

But, she is Sango…just not Sango…but she is…damn it, my head hurts!

 

“Ryu, Neko, Kagura and myself are now the new rulers of all Naraku controlled. Now, there are some things he did we don't agree with, and figured it would be a good time to begin offering alliances to the demons of the world. Neko has already gone to see your brother, and Kagura to see your little friend Koga and what's left of his pack.” She smiled.

 

“and what do you have to offer me?”

 

Sango smiled again, beginning to put on her shirt. “IF you agree to join us and renounce your foolish and lying ways…” She glared at him. “Like how you lied to me and used me…” her smile returned. “We will offer you safe harbor in his castle and a chance to become a full demon.” She paused. “Oh, and we will want to talk to Kagome, Miroku and Shippo; we want to open their minds too.”

 

“You won't turn Kagome into some damn demon Sango! I won't let you!”

 

“No deal then?” Sango asked. “Very well.”

 

Before Inuyasha could act, Her tail had whipped out of the waters, slamming him into a tree. The hanyou struggled to his feet as Sango pulled her whip out and snapped it against a rock, breaking it to pieces.

 

Kirara watched on when the kitsune heard a voice. “Watch Kirara…watch and learn what kind of man Inuyasha is. Before the end of this, he will try and kill Sango…mark my words.”
