Hope for the Hopeless
The sun was setting, and he had returned once again – the same time as always.
“They’re still not back,” Sango said with a small amused grin. Her new visitor snorted in contempt.
Sango sighed, knowing it was hopeless. She continued to sharpen her weapon, sitting outside her new home in Kaede’s village. The well in Inuyasha’s Forest was close by.
“Why are you here, then? Your monk will never come back. Your brother ...”
Sango stopped sharpening and pursed her lips. He didn’t have to get mean.
“Face it, Kouga,” Sango said ignoring his comment. “Kagome didn’t choose you. So why do you still come here?”
Without invitation, he sat down next to her. He looked ahead to the forest. “I don’t know. I just keep hoping...” She nodded in understanding.
“I thought you gave her up long ago.”
“Yeah, but when Naraku was defeated, I thought maybe the future could be different.”
Momentarily, they were both silent, and then she replied, “That seems rather foolish.”
“And making promises to a dying man isn’t?”
Sango grunted. Kouga listened to the sound of polished bone. The burning scent lifted into his nostrils, smelling so familiar.
He had been coming back here so many times, even when he knew Kagome was truly gone.
“So you’ll be back here tomorrow?” Sango looked up at him as he prepared to return home.
“Yep,” he said quickly. He looked down at her, and she was smiling prettily at him.
“I’ll still be here then.”
