The cold truth ((Sango,open))

[sithhunter]

Noli sighed as his boot's crunched in the soft snow..it was deep into winter time and snow was absolutly everywhere...but noli didn't mind the cold..he dident mind the small pain he felt in his feet as the snow melted and seeped into his boots...but he minded the pain in his heart. In the battle noli had with the monk,sango, and that airbender.. had revealed one thing. Even though sango may not have realized it..but she showed that she held feelings for the monk.

Noli slammed a boot into a tree and snow fell of im heaps from the shock of the attack. What could she possibly see in that letcher!? noli had been friends with sango sence they were kids and they had even loved eachother when they got older...but now..

NOTES- *Pokes season* Silly Sithy, it's spring

♥.+Enter Sango+.♥

Where there once was flowers of different kinds and where the grass grew up to your knees, no trees were anywhere in sight for a good while and everything looked so plain when it was buried in snow. True, the peru tinged grass did protrude from the blanket of wintry death but still, it looked so…well boring. A zephyr sounded across the meadow and through the grass, veering it towards the east along with the chocolate hued hair of a woman. It caressed her soft face and laced itself around her black attire that she normally wore after fighting with a demon. She had no where to change back into her village clothes so this would have to do.

The crunching snow reverberated through her ears as foot-fall was made. She wasn’t sure just where it was she was going but she knew that soon she would have to find a village so she could get out of the cold. Beside of her tread a cat. Now this was not any ordinary cat you would see eating trash out of your alleyway’s in cities. This cat was a beige color with black along her delicate paws. Something else that was odd about this cat was the fact that it had two tails. Right now it was in it’s little form and riding along the shoulder of the demon slayer woman due to the fact it would get lost in the snow. The woman reached up and patted the cat softly on the head, listening to it mew for a moment and then returned her gaze towards the vista. There was someone here.

Sango watched the silhouette, trying to decide if it was a demon or just a meager human. She watched as it kicked the tree in rage and Kilala gave out a light growl that if she wasn’t on Sango’s shoulders then she would have never heard it. After deciding that it was just a human Sango advanced towards the figure that was unknown by name to her. When she finally got close enough to tell that it was a male that she was seeing she put Kilala down in the snow, watching as the neko-demon flicked her paws at the feeling of the cold gathered flakes and walked that way.

Her brown eyes squinted to see if she could tell the details of this man, see if she could recognize him and that is when she noticed that this man right before her was the man that had tried to fight with her and Miroku along with that odd character whose name she never did learn. Did she even learn this mans name? It was true that there was something about him that just itched at her memories but no name came to mind. Who was this man?

The wind changed directions and blew to noli's back...without the wind he never would have heard the small growl that had never ceased to make noli smile..he had spent his childhood with that two tailed cat and he would recognize that growl anywhere...but where ever kirara was sango was as well.

Noli qiuckly reached into his pouch at his waist and pulled out his black cloth mask and quickly pulled it over his face before sango would have a chance to recognize him. The reddish blonde masn turned to sango and kirara and sighed

"terrible time to be out in the snow." Noli said in the blant voice he had created for his disguise "Where's the letcher and the theif?" He said refering to miroku and the air-bender.

Noli's cat ear twitched as he heard somthing in the distance..but ignored it for now. Ah yes that was something that noli had gained sence there fight...it was a complitacted story but noli was now a half demon..half panther demon to be precisce. With the ears and tail to match it.

((Sorry mines a sucky post))

[Sango]

She honestly couldn’t say that she recognized this man afore her but then again, he had also put a mask over his face to further his protection against her recognizing him. He spoke in an odd way but none the less she would listen to him. She couldn’t help but to just look down and observe the snow under her feet where she had hoped to continue treading through these lands but who was she kidding? Walking alone she was bound to run into someone sooner or later, sooner in this case. To be polite she replied to him. “But when you have the heart of a traveler all weather is safe.” It honestly sounded better in her head and there was something that distracted her attention. She felt like she knew him but she couldn’t be sure unless he decided to be manly enough to show his face.

When he spoke about Miroku and the other guy, a thief he had called him, she just grinned. Now she knew who this was. This was the guy that had attacked them for no reason really. “I recognize you now. You are the guy that tried to separate Miroku and I. Noli wasn’t it?” With lithe fingers she found herself holding the top of her weapon. Was he going to try and fight her when she was alone? Well it would be more fair than it was before. The last time she had seen him it was three against one. What irked her the most was the fact that she couldn’t remember doing anything to this guy to make him want to fight her…at least she didn’t think she did. Now this began to make her ponder.

She broke her thoughts when Kilala looked behind them. Sango could only guess that the neko-demon had heard something so this would make Sango more cautious. What if she had been followed or even worse, what if she was about to be ambushed by Noli?! She looked around her with her peripheral vision and then looked to Noli, her hand still on the top of her weapon ready to fight if the need arose. “So…is this some kind of plan that you have devised?” Of course she was wondering if he planned on attacking her or not. She patiently waited for him to answer, still weary and cautious about what she did.

Noli sighed. "So you know my name.." Noli spoke in his regular voice. "youve heard my voice..and you still dont remeber me? A day hasent gone by sango where i dident think about you...and you've forgotten me completly havent you?" Noli looked up at sango..and reached up and pulled of the black cloth mask. "You dont even remeber my face do you?"

[Sango]

The breeze brought his voice to her ears which caused her to nod her head. “I do.” There wasn’t much more she could have said. Something irked at her more and more as she just stayed around him. He looked so familiar yet so distant. Her eyes roamed over to Kilala who looked up at her and smiled. Perhaps if she could read the neko’s mind then she would be able to remember. She had met many a people on her journey with InuYasha and Kagome so one face out of a million would be hard to find and remember right?

She was officially confused. He knew her yet she felt horrible because she only knew his name. Finally she could get a good glance of his face and something began to play in her mind. It was a memory that hadn’t been tapped into for years. He was one of her childhood friends. “How do you expect me to remember?” Her head tilted to the side in a questioning manner. “Someone from such a long time ago.” She pulled the weapon from her back and stuck it firmly into the ground before she continued.

“For a demon slayer you sure have gotten weaker.” She let out a light laugh knowing this wasn’t true. It was her own way of saying ‘hey! I remember you!’ without actually saying it like that.

[sithhunter]

Noli sighed and allowed himself to chuckle..."And here i remeber you destincly telling me that no matter what happened we'd never forget eachother...think back sango..If you cant remember me try remembering this." Noli said pulling out a shining white stone no bigger than his thumbnail.."Its called a moon tear..you remember this? I gave you one and kept one for myself...there suposed to symbolize deep friendship"

[Sango]

He seemed to be depressed that she didn’t remember him but after what she has gone through can you blame her if she forgot someone? Then again the way he made it sound they were very close, perhaps almost lovers? Before she could respond to what he had previously said he began to shuffle around until he pulled out a shining white stone. It was then her memories of this man hit her in the face like a ton of bricks. She lifted up one of her shoulder pads and underneath it was this ‘moon tear’ he had talked about. She often thought about casting it into a river but something held her back. She felt that it was precious and now she was glad that she didn’t do as she had planned. “I still have it.” This was the first time she had spoken since the shock had set in.

They were old childhood friends and they were really close before the mission that ended up killing out the village but how did he survive? She was to believe that it was just Kohaku and herself that had survived from Naraku’s grasp. Lookie who was wrong. She grasped the moon tear firmly between her fingers and looked down at her balled up fist. “But how?” Her chocolate tinged eyes diverted their gaze up to his face. “Did you survive?” It was a question that was reverberating through her head since the memories came to her.

[sithhunter]

Noli let out another sigh..she finaly rememberd. "A week before the village was destroyed your father sent me on a mission to gather jewel shards..he told me taking this mission would gain me ranking in the village and thats just what i needed because..when i got back i was going ask your father for your hand in marrage..but i would have to have some standing in the village if i was going to do that...but when..when i got back. The village was destroyed..i saw kohaku had suvived..but.." Noli's voice grew hoarse as if he was about to cry at the memorie. "I thought you had died with the rest of the village."

[Sango]

It was a shame they didn’t have anywhere to sit because she had been walking for days now and her legs felt like they were about to fall under herself in rebellion but she continued to stand anyways and listened as he spoke. Right when she heard the words ‘hand in marriage’ she about fell. Her heart began to skip a few beats and she began to get nauseous. Was…he serious? So if Naraku wouldn’t have interfered with their lives she would have ended up marrying Noli instead of being engaged to a lecher? She had to admit that it would have been nice to not worry about having him step out on her but now…she was already spoken for and it was too late. If only fate hadn’t separated their threads.

“There was a point in my life that I thought that I would have died like the rest.” She took in a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. “I’m sorry to have worried you so.” There was a part of her that wanted to just jump into his arms but she held back temptation like a good girl and just smiled at him warmly. “But…I am already engaged.” She couldn’t help but to feel crushed between his feelings and her feelings for Miroku. “To the lecher.”

[sithhunter]

Noli swallowed the rock in his throat...well there was no rock but it felt that way. "I...i know allready..i found out not too long ago...i felt like i was ready to die when i found out..but..i know he makes you happy...and im glad you've found somone who can put a smile on your face..' Noli let out a small chuckle "Now if we can get him to keep his eyes on you you'll have found the perfect man."

[Sango]

He seemed to be distraught about the recent news that she believed did travel rather quickly around the recent villages. It felt like now that Noli knew everyone else did as well. With a heavy sigh she lowered her gaze down to her feet that were clad in black footwear that came with her demon slayer attire. She was wondering if marrying Miroku was the right thing to do. He had obviously shown that he had feelings for her when he asked her to marry him after all of this crap with Naraku was finished but would he go through with it or would he find another woman that was more willing to do what he wanted now? He was a womanizer at heart so would she be able to tame that habit of his?

At the sound of his chuckle she gave one in return. “Miroku is one complicated character to understand.” She did feel bad for breaking Noli’s heart but she didn’t think there was a way she could make it up to him. Her slender fingers wrapped around the neko demon’s stomach as she was gently placed onto the ground. As she was bending back up her hand laced around the cat’s body in a gentle stroke. Sango began to take careful strides over towards Noli and went to rest her hand upon his shoulder reassuringly.

“You will find a wonderful girl no doubt about it.” She gave him a smile to hopefully ease his pain.
