Chapter 8 - Sesso-maru's Secret, Shippo's Confusion
Inu Yasha woke with a start. Something was wrong, but he was still half asleep and couldn't make anything out for a moment. He sniffed the night air. He snarled as he peered around, not finding his target. Sesso-maru was close by, but he couldn't see the youkai. He scanned the camp sight, only to find Sango missing. Cursing to himself, he jumped down from the tree and rushed to wake up Miroku. The monk was sound asleep. Inu Yasha covered Miroku's mouth with his hand so he wouldn't scream. The monk felt the pressure on his face and his eyes popped open.
"Sango is missing", hissed Inu Yasha, trying to be as quiet as possible. He left Miroku and went over to Kagome's tent. He found Shippo curled up tight close to her stomach. Inu Yasha instinctively growled and it woke up the girl and her companion. Shippo ran and hid behind Kagome, who was about to scold Inu Yasha for waking them. She opened her mouth and then snapped it shut. Inu Yasha was snarling, but not at them. He turned to leave the tent and they followed. Miroku had already gotten up and was on the move.
"Miroku", whispered Inu Yasha, "it won't do any good for you to go without us. You have no way of sniffing him out."
Miroku stopped at hearing what his friend said. "He? Who is he? Who has Sango?"
Kagome's eyes got wide and she gasped. She hadn't realized til then that Sango was missing. She could tell by the hatred on Inu Yasha's face just who 'he' was. "Sesso-maru", she sighed. "But why would he take Sango. It's me he's mad at."
"Maybe he thought he couldn't get to you easily enough", said Miroku. "It really doesn't matter why. We just need to get her back before he can hurt her."
"If we hurry I can still catch his scent and we'll be able to follow them", Inu Yasha said as he sniffed the air. "I can actually smell Sango better. She's in heat."
Miroku almost fainted as Kagome shot him a look that told him she knew about what had happened earlier. 'If Sango was in heat -. No', he thought shaking his head. He didn't want to think about it. He looked back at Kagome. He realized she was gonna keep her mouth shut and he was glad. Before he could think about it anymore, he realized that Kagome had already gotten on Inu Yasha's back, with Shippo tagging along. They were waiting on him. He started running along, trying hopelessly to keep up with the hanyou.

Sango awoke with a start. She knew that Sesso-maru had grabbed her up and had flown away with her, but she didn't know why or where he had taken her. She tried to sit up, but Sesso-maru was lying next to her and he simply flicked his wrist and she was pushed back down. If it had been any one else she may have stopped to ask them how to do that trick. As it was, she loathed having to speak to him, but she wanted answers.
"Why the hell did you grab me up", she started. "I'm not the one you want."
"Oh, but you are", he replied. "I never really took any interest in you until today. You were always just 'that other bothersome human female' until I chanced by you in the forest this afternoon."
Sango turned the color of Inu Yasha's kimono. She was furious and embarrassed all at the same time. "How dare you -"
"How dare I what, watch two pitiful humans trying out each others bodies for the first time?" Sesso-maru just laughed at her cruelly. "Come now, you can't tell me that you didn't enjoy it. I saw that you did", he said as he ran a single claw up her thigh.
She tried to slap his hand away, but he grabbed both her wrists and pulled her arms back behind her head. "Now, now - we can't have you ruining my fun. But don't worry, I won't hurt you."
"You are scum, Sesso-maru. I don't want your dirty hands all over me. I finally got the man I'm in love with to respond to me and you're not going to ruin that feeling."
Sesso-maru just laughed and let her go. She slid off the bed and turned to face him, ready to fight. She couldn't believe it, he was still laughing. "What's so funny, Dog Breath?"
"I - I don't want you", he started as he tried to catch his breath, "I want to BE you!"
Sango couldn't believe her ears. "Nani?! You want what?"
Sesso-maru tried to compose himself. He was still smiling wildly. "I said I want to be you." He began to slowly circle the girl, looking her up and down. He studied her for a moment, memorizing the way she stood, the expressions on her face.
"I want to learn how to be like you. What makes you tick? I want you to tell me your secrets. That's why I brought you here." Sesso-maru said as he backed away from her. He went over to the table beside his bed and picked up a small mirror. Brushing his bangs away from his eyes, he continued. "Plus I know that Inu Yasha and his bitch will come here looking for you, and they'll bring your man with them. That monk sure looked appetizing. All naked and glistening. Mmmmmmmmm. That's what I really want to know, how you made him want you."
Just then Miroku came crashing thru the door, followed by the rest of the group. He seemed clueless as to what was truly going on. He grabbed Sango to him and whispered to her, "Did he hurt you?" She shook her head. Turning to look at the youkai, he brought up his staff ready to attack. Sesso-maru just stood there. He had been prepared to fight his half brother and the bitch, but he couldn't bring himself to hurt Miroku. The monk took this as a sign of weakness and turned to retrieve Sango.
Sesso-maru rushed towards him, meaning to stop him from leaving with the girl. Miroku saw him out of the corner of his eye and thought the demon was being a coward, attacking him from behind. In a flash he brought up his staff, but he was too close to Sango and accidently knocked her into Sesso-maru's large wardrobe. He did manage to hit the demon as well, sending him sprawling over the bed. His garments had been disturbed by the action and a pair of pink, lacy panties could be seen peeking out from underneath his robes.
Once again, all jaws dropped at the sight. The only one not surprised by this new development was Sango. She had managed to crawl out of the large dresser in time to see Sesso-maru hastily trying to cover up his under garments.
Finally, Kagome regained her senses long enough to point out to everyone that the panties belonged to her. "How dare you steal from me, and then wear them even!" The girl was furious. She was also confused. She didn't understand why the youkai would do such a thing. She was naïve and had lost her memory, after all.
"You're pathetic. I always knew that you were odd, but now I know that you are fucking sick! Not even the lech would want a freak like you", sneered Inu Yasha.
Sango almost laughed. She alone knew how bad Sesso-maru wanted the lech to want him. Instead she proposed a deal. "I think that Sesso-maru is gonna leave us alone from now on. Isn't that right, princess", Sango asked the youkai. "I would hate to have to tell everyone about your preferences."
"That's right. I know about your taste for certain humans", said Inu Yasha as he tilted his head toward Miroku. "I don't have these dog ears for nothing, you know."
Sesso-maru went pale. If there was one person he didn't want knowing his secret, it was his half brother. He knew if Inu Yasha or Sango ever told anyone, he would be the laughing stock of the youkai world. No one knew right now besides them - not even Jaken knew. And he wanted to keep it that way.
"That's right, you won't be hearing from me anymore." He smiled slightly, although he had a sick look on his face. He backed up out of the room, leaving the friends standing there, amazed. Shippo, Miroku, and Kagome were all equally confused. Miroku didn't think that wearing Kagome's panties was bad enough to warrant that kind of reaction from Sesso-maru. He had thought about trying them on a few times, himself. He was about to question this when Shippo broke the silence.
"He's just giving up, just like that? What a pansy!"
"You aren't kidding", chuckled Inu Yasha. "Let's get out of hear before we run into Jaken wearing a dress and a wig."
"Hmmm, I wonder if Sesso-maru would like it if I put flowers in HIS hair", mumbled Shippo.

As they walked back to the campsite, Sango allowed Miroku to hold her with his arm around her waist. She felt content, and she looked it too. He was glad she was finally letting them be a couple. It just felt right for them to be together. They had both wanted a relationship for so long, but both had been afraid of rejection. Now everything seemed so to be as it should.
Inu Yasha still carried Kagome on his back. They were traveling at a slow, steady pace, but she had asked to be carried and he, as a gentleman, had obliged. She rested her head on his shoulder. Shippo had tried to climb up on her shoulder, but she had prodded him off, saying that she wanted to sleep. Shippo thought he wanted to sleep to, but she had told him to walk. Instead, he turned himself into his pink, bubble like form and floated ahead of them.
"Inu Yasha", Kagome said drowsily, "What were you and Sesso-maru talking about back there. What on earth could he have done that was so bad he would rather leave us alone than have you or Sango tell?"
Inu Yasha paused for a minute, trying to think of the most polite way to tell her. "Well, let me put it this way, you and Sango have more in common with Sesso-maru than you think."
"Hmmmm", she sighed. She was silent for awhile and Inu Yasha looked back to find her asleep. Her mouth was parted slightly and she had a peaceful look on her face. He smiled and put his head to one side, resting it on the arm that was wrapped around his neck.

Morning came and the 5 friends decided to break camp and go back to the village. They needed the comfort of Kaede's hut, and her good cooking wouldn't hurt either. Before they left the two girls decided to take one last dip in the spring. The guys had wanted to come too, but Kagome had told them that she needed some time alone with Sango, some 'girl time' she called it.
Sango had finished washing her hair and they had just moved over to lean against the bank when Kagome decided to broach the subject of Sango's new relationship. "Sango, we need to talk. There are some things you may not know going on, and I just wanted you to know so you could - you know - be careful."
"What are you talking about", Sango asked as she rung out her hair. "I am being careful. I made sure Miroku's feelings for me where genuine before we made love."
"No, that's not really what I meant, although I'm glad to know that it wasn't just sex. See, Inu Yasha smelt something last night when he was trying to pick up Sesso-maru's scent. Seems, ummm, that you are 'in heat'. And I wanted you to know so that you would be careful, 'cause you know that means you could get pregnant, right?"
"Oh, that! Not to worry. I found some medicine in Sesso-maru's wardrobe when I got pushed in there and downed it. It said on the bottle that it would prevent conception."
Kagome fainted. It was a good thing they had been leaning up against the bank. Sango went over and gently slapped Kagome on the cheek, trying to awaken her friend. And that's how Shippo found the two friends, a naked Sango standing over an equally naked Kagome, and Sango was slapping the girl. He sure was confused. Miroku and Sango, then Sesso-maru and Sango, and now Kagome and Sango. 'Guess there's still a lot more for me to learn before I become an adult', he thought and ran off to ask Kaede for some of her headache relieving potion.

My, my. What a bewildered kitsune. Will he ever figure out the truth? Who cares, he's only a child. lol. As long as you know that the Kagome/Sango incident was innocent. I hope that you enjoyed this chapter. I know it didn't really resolve much as far as IY/K are concerned, although, don't forget the scene where she wants to be carried just for the sake of being carried. Please review!
