There was nothing like a swim in the moonlight. Just Sango and the water and the moon and the stars for light. But this time something was wrong. There was something… a demon in the area around her. Not in the location of the small lake, but around.
Plunging deep into the icy water, she swam to the shore and dragged herself out of it and onto the beach. Quickly she made a grab for her kimono and slipped it on, ignoring the fact that she was still wet. It would eventually dry.
A twig snapped. “Who’s there?”
Sango kept her eyes trained in the direction of the snap. She clutched the knife she brought with her tightly. There was nothing that she could sense to make her believe that it was a demon besides her own instinct. Her instincts were normally pretty good.
Silver glinted in the darkness. Time seemed to stop. Sesshomaru had stepped forth, his eyes also locked on her as if taking everything in. Never had she felt more aware of the cloth clinging to her body and her hair in a messy knot around her face.
“Taijiya.”
He took a step forward. She took three back, stumbling and rolling into the water. The icy-cool liquid kissed her skin like a welcome home. An extremely cold welcome home, at that. Sesshomaru smirked slightly, “Taijiya, you have a lot to learn.”
Sango blushed, “No I don’t.”
“Yes you do.”
She grinned suddenly. Things between her and Sesshomaru had been weird since the defeat of Naraku, but they were about to get weirder, “Will you teach me, then?”
“Yes.”
Surprised, she nodded. There were many things that she had to learn. Now she would learn them from the best.
