Disclaimer: I don�t own Inuyasha

Kagome had been away for almost three weeks. As Sango watched her unpacking her bags in the village, she realized it had seemed much longer. She�d missed her presence quite a bit. At the moment, it was taking its toll on her nerves. Ever since her �scene� at the well she�d felt emotionally unstable, but damned if she was going to let it show. She brooded in the corner while watching Shippou hover over Kagome, relating enthusiastically the few notable events which transpired in her absence.

Kagome had greeted her briefly, after which Sango had faded into the background. She realized Kagome was overwhelmed by everyone�s excitement at her return, but still, she felt ignored. A part of her wanted to wrap her arms around Kagome and tell her how much she had missed her. Another part of her, the more dominate, brooding part, wanting nothing more than to revel in her feelings of rejection and disappointment by cloistering herself away. She settled for a compromise. She kept her distance, but she watched.

Sango was at least pleased that Inuyasha was absent now, probably driven away by the sound of Shippou�s incessant chatter. Watching their reunion had brought on a wave of jealousy, curling in her gut and leaving her to vainly grind her teeth. Seeing the way Kagome�s eyes lit up as she talked with the hanyou obliterated any notions of �friendship� and �loyalty� she�d previously entertained. Where Kagome was concerned, her resolutions seemed to fly out the window in a fit of some emotion or another.

The sound of Shippou�s whining voice was grating on her nerves. He�d been complaining of some slight by Inuyasha. But she tried hard to listen to what was being said when she heard mention of Kagome�s family. Sango gathered from bits and pieces from their mostly one-sided conversation that Kagome had spent her time away taking tests, catching up on school and visiting with her family. She�d been happy.

Sango compared this to her own experience the past several weeks. She�d spent the time trying to talk herself out of her growing feelings for Kagome. So far, shutting down her emotions and withdrawing into herself proved to be the most effective method, though a part of her missed the more social and even gregarious person she had briefly become.

Suddenly, she was jolted out of her brooding by the sound of Kagome�s voice.

�I have something for you too, Sango,� Kagome bounded over to her. �It�s not much.� She held out a rhinestone-studded hair clip. Sango�s eyes widened for a moment, but the tight smile she gave Kagome was not genuine. �Thanks. You shouldn�t have.�

Kagome shrugged, �well I needed to do something to thank you for all your help. I know I wasn�t always pleasant, especially while my knee was bothering me.� Sango took the clip and stared down at it.

�Here,� Kagome picked it up again, �you wear it in your hair like this.�

Sango was about to protest that she knew how a clip worked, when Kagome reached forward and carefully slipped the clip onto the side of Sango�s hair. �There. It�s pretty,� she said, smoothing down her hair around the clip.

Involuntarily, Sango leaned into her hand, only to jerk back, slightly annoyed with herself over her reaction. Hadn�t she convinced herself yet that it was pointless to indulge any romantic notions where Kagome was concerned? Sango felt the urge to rip the clip from her hair and toss it aside. Instead, she simply sighed, remembering that a polite response was required, �I�m sure it does. Thanks again, Kagome. I hope your knee doesn�t give you any more trouble�

�None at all,� she chirped.

They stood there silently for a few seconds and Kagome adjusted Sango�s clip once again. She met her eyes with a look of concern. Kagome seemed to see her for the first time since her return and she frowned. �Sango, are you feeling well? You seem�sad. Is there anything I can do?�

If only she would�Sango didn�t allow herself to finish that thought, but instead reached out and lightly squeezed Kagome�s hand. She couldn�t resist running her thumb back and forth over the inside of her palm. She watched Kagome�s face for any reaction to this, but her friend only nodded happily. Sango was reluctant to pull her hand away. At least, she reminded herself, if Kagome is so oblivious, I won�t have to endure the shame of her knowing my feelings and not returning them.

The group soon departed in search of more shards needed to complete the Shikon jewel. They headed south towards the area where there was rumored to be a powerful youkai terrorizing the holdings of a local daimyo. The weather was warm and Sango spent a lot of time watching the world around her turn green and flourish in the temperate weather. It was a nice distraction.

There were other distractions as well. Such as the day that Kagome spilt her lunch all over the front of her clothing and asked Sango to stand sentry in front of the bush where she changing clothes.

�I think I gave myself steam burns. Look.� Sango turned towards her to see Kagome pointing to a small burn just above her exposed left breast. Sango�s face reddened and she stammered, �uh, sure, looks like it.�

�It doesn�t hurt much, but I�d better put salve on it just in case.� Kagome sat down and began rummaging through her backpack. Sango stared down at her breasts; the white cotton shirt had fallen open. She was fascinated by the way her breasts gently bounced with each jerking movement of Kagome�s hands. An errant breeze sent goose bumps across the skin of her chest and her nipples stiffened in reaction. Sango�s mouth watered. If I could feel their softness under my hands, she thought, that would be enough. Heat rushed to her loins at the thought and she wondered if it would indeed.

�Ah, here it is.� Kagome held up a small tube of salve. She opened it and began smearing it liberally over the burned area, her fingertips brushing the skin just above the nipple. It was too much for Sango. She turned and moved away

�I�d better go look and make sure the boys aren�t near. Thought I�d heard something over there,� she excused herself as she hurried off. Kagome watched her walk away for a moment, before she shook her head and began to change her clothing.

Sango found herself angry at Inuyasha, her previous feelings of loyalty once again lost amidst her resurgence of possessiveness for Kagome. The two were fighting. Sango felt a growing urge to intervene, so she quickly found herself a quiet spot under a tree out of earshot.

It was peaceful beneath the tree�s wide branches. She watched the birds flitting back and forth through the thick canopy overhead. Their travels had taken them deep within the heart of an old forest and it hosted many spectacularly large oaks and magnolias, such as the twisted and gnarled one she now lay against.

Her peace didn�t last long. Sango heard the rustling of leaves and Kagome appeared her cheeks tear-streaked and her hands on her hips.

�Damn him, why doesn�t he listen to me!�

Sango looked up at her placidly. She wished she didn�t have to hear any of this.

Kagome dropped down beside her with a groan. �Why do I always let him get me so worked up?�

�That, I don�t know,� Sango told her calmly. She couldn�t help but add softly, �it�s not as if you try to avoid it.� Sango smiled to herself, closed her eyes and leaned back against the tree, wishing again that Kagome hadn�t found her hiding spot.

�What�d you mean by that,� Kagome shot back in an irritated tone. She�d obviously caught that last remark. Sango�s eyes flew open. Even so, it was unlike Kagome to challenge her like that. She hadn�t asked her to come. It was Sango�s turn to be irritated.

�I mean,� Sango struggled to pull a suitably cutting explanation out of thin air, �you bring this sort of thing on yourself. You know how Inuyasha is.�

�How can you say that,� Kagome scooted around until she was face to face with Sango, �it�s not as if I deserve to be treated that way. Who made him the boss of me?�

Even if Sango didn�t catch the phrase, she understood Kagome�s defensive tone well. �You certainly are willing to let him lead you around when he flashes you a smile,� Sango was ready with a retort this time.

�I would never�,� Kagome paused in mid-rant, �what is all this about anyway, Sango. I came to you needing a little understanding and instead you jump on me too.�

Sango snorted, �you�ve a lot of nerve saying that. I left to avoid the whole situation. And look what happened, you brought it right here and dropped it in my lap.� She crossed her arms, telling herself she was justified in getting angry with her friend. Still, there was a niggling voice in the back of her mind telling her that she was treating Kagome unfairly. It only served to annoy her more.

�Is it too much to expect you to act like a friend, Sango, instead of either avoiding me, or acting like a jerk when I come to you needing to talk.�

�What the hell,� Sango felt like screaming the words, barely keeping her voice steady. �You only come running to me when your precious Inuyasha is pushing you around. Should I thank you for ignoring me, or for only seeking me out when he�s not around?� Sango knew the words were wrong, but she was so angry that she could not seem to stop herself.

�Is that what you think about me?� Kagome was yelling now, leaning towards her. Sango felt some of her control slip and without thinking, she spat back, �Sure is, Kagome!�

�Where is all this shit coming from anyway, Sango? What the hell are you talking about? I don�t need YOU taking your problems out on me.�

As soon as Kagome uttered the words, I don�t need you, everything around her melted away except Kagome�s angry visage. Sango�s eyes narrowed dangerously as she brought her hand up and she delivered a stinging slap to Kagome�s cheek.

Kagome froze, her mouth wide and tears shining in her eyes. �Sango,� she cried softly as she placed a hand over her stinging cheek. All of Sango�s anger drained away at the sight and she rushed forward.

�I�m so sorry. I didn�t mean,� Sango wrapped her arms around Kagome�s shoulders. How could I lose control like that and strike Kagome over a silly argument? Remorseful tears welled up in her eyes and she ducked her head against Kagome�s neck to hide them. Kagome let out a sob. �It�s okay,� Kagome husked out, her voice still laced with tears. Sango felt terrible, but she knew that Kagome needed comforting. She pulled back and smoothed down her hair. �I�m so sorry,� she repeated and brushed her hand over the reddening spot on her cheek.

�I must have made you pretty angry.� It was as close as Kagome was going to get to an accusation. Sango realized she deserved an honest explanation, but how to explain the emotional rollercoaster she�d been on lately?

�I don�t know exactly why, Kagome,� she began haltingly, �I just lost control and lashed out in anger. When you told me I don�t need you, it hurt me. I�ve been feeling,� Sango took a deep breath, �as if you don�t care for me. But my feelings for you have only been growing stronger,� she added in a low whisper.

Kagome was silent for a long moment, as if contemplating Sango�s words. �Of course, I care about you, Sango. You�re my best friend. You�re like a sister to me.� Sango cringed at the last statement.

�It still doesn�t excuse the fact that I,� she began.

�Oh don�t worry about that. We all get angry sometimes and I was out of line.� Kagome had already forgiven her.

Sango leaned forward and kissed her cheek. �There, that�s better,� she said softly. Kagome giggled.

Once again, Sango brushed her lips against the same spot. Kagome seemed to relax and let herself lean into her. Sango held her like that for some time before she felt the tingling of desire surface. She wrapped her arms around Kagome�s waist, seeking more than comfort. It felt good to be near to her on many levels, not the least of which was due to her powerful physical attraction to Kagome.

She half-expected Kagome to protest and pull away, but instead she covered Sango�s arms with her own. At this wordless acceptance, Sango allowed herself to feel a guilty sort of pleasure in the contact. It was comforting and stimulating all at once. She was still somewhat amazed at how strongly affected she was by Kagome presence. She had only meant to comfort. However, once heady feelings of desire began to creep in, any guilt she had previously felt was pushed to the back of her mind.

Kagome began to brush her fingertips repeatedly over the back of her hand. Sango found the innocent touch distracting. This close contact was slowly leeching away all coherent thought and Sango was afraid of where it might lead. She leaned back and tried to clear her head, but Kagome gripped her more tightly and mewled a protest. �Don�t leave, Sango,� she murmured. Sango gave in and gathered her once again in her arms, her lips finding Kagome�s cheek once again.

A complex mixture of sensations overwhelmed her. She closed her eyes and lost herself in the barrage of sensations, the subtle scent of Kagome�s apple-scented soap, the way a stray lock of Kagome�s hair tickled her ear, the soft sound of her breathing. Warmth invaded her senses.

Without thinking, Sango titled her head slightly so that her lips brushed over Kagome�s. All else faded away except for the feeling of Kagome�s lips against her own and the sound of her own heart�s rapid beating.

Sango�s fingers entangled themselves in Kagome�s hair and she pressed her closer to deepen the kiss. Sango let out a soft moan of pleasure as her tongue slipped into Kagome�s mouth. Her tongue felt swollen as she explored the wet warmth she found there.

The delicious warmth was wrenched away as Kagome turned her head and pushed her away.

�Sango, I don�t understand?� Sango resisted and wrapped her arms tightly around Kagome�s waist. �Shhh, don�t speak,� she told her. She was lost in the moment, only concerned that it might end. Kagome arched away from Sango, forcing her to meet her eyes, �What are you doing?�

All at once, Sango returned to her senses and she released Kagome, who almost fell back without her arms to support her.

�Kagome, I..� Sango didn�t know what to tell her. Her mind was reeling and her overheated body was still in shock from the loss of contact. Sango stared helplessly into Kagome�s questioning eyes.

The soft sound of padding feet startled both girls out of their stupor. �Sango, Kagome, I'm glad that I've found you two. Inuyasha is ready to head out.� Miroku�s voice rang clearly across the glade. Sango sat there mortified, unable to speak. Kagome was first to respond, she scrambled to her feet and backed a few steps away. Miroku�s eyes followed her movements and he turned to Sango with an amused expression.

�Well, well, ladies, I certainly hope that I�m not interrupting,� he paused dramatically and raised an eyebrow, �anything.�

Sango managed to squeak out a reply. �No, nothing, we were just having a little girl talk.�

Miroku regarded her suspiciously, �if you say so.� His tone made it clear that he didn�t believe her.

�Let�s get going then,� Kagome told them with forced cheerfulness. She took the lead with Miroku and Sango following closely behind. Miroku winked at her. Sango could have ignored him, but in truth, his intrusion had saved her from having to explain her actions. She gave him a half-smile instead. Let the monk wonder.
