Ties That Bind: Bring on the Fluff
Episode 6
That night, Inuyasha is sitting in his tree watching the stars. He hears a noise beneath him, and turns to look. Sango is standing at the base of the tree. She calls, �Am I disturbing you Inuyasha?� �No,� he responds, �I�ll be right down.� �Don�t bother.� she says. Sango slips out of her clothing, revealing her slayer outfit underneath. She then proceeds to scale the tree. When she reaches his level, Inuyasha says, �I could have come down you know.� �I know.� she says taking a seat beside him. �I wanted to ask what you and Kohaku were doing this morning.� �I was just talking to him.� Inuyasha says. �I thought he might like getting support from a guy in the middle of all this and I wasn�t about to leave that to the monk.� �Thank you.� Sango says. �Kagome talks about how good you are to her brother. I�m glad you�re trying to help Kohaku.� �He thought we were lovers.� Inuyasha says. �How would he have gotten that idea?� Sango asks. �Well,� Inuyasha says, �you are traveling with two guys. One of them is a monk, so that should rule him out of the running. Plus, he doesn�t know about any of my stuff. I mean it�s not like it�s that strange a notion, is it?� he asks. �No,� she says, �I guess not. It�s just with Kikyo and Kagome; it just seems odd to think about what someone who doesn�t know might think.� �I got enough crazy stuff with just those two.� Inuyasha tells her. �I can�t handle having feelings for both of them, so I can�t allow myself to feel anything more then friendship for you.� �We work well together.� Sango says. �We shouldn�t risk spoiling that. Besides, Kagome�s my friend and she saw you first.� �My being a half-demon can�t help.� Inuyasha says. �What with you being from a long line of demon slayers.� �Neither one of us should be focusing on relationships until after Naraku is defeated.� Sango says. �I wouldn�t want to get in the way between you and that lord.� Inuyasha says. �Nothing�s going to happen between us.� Sango says. Inuyasha says, �So this won�t mean anything.� He bends toward her; she leans toward him. �Sango! Inuyasha!� Kagome shouts. �Dinner�s ready!� Sango quickly drops to the ground and dresses. �I�m coming.� she calls. Inuyasha looks back up at the stars.
