Denial

I think I’m getting sick. Or maybe I caught something from a demon and the disease has weird side affects on humans. Or maybe the stress of trying to find the remaining jewel shards, destroy Naraku, and rescue my brother has finally caught up with me.

Whatever the case may be, there’s definitely something wrong with me. My stomach squeezes painfully and my heart will jump to erratic beats. My knees go weak and I can hardly stand at times. I loose my breath and all the blood rushes to my head. I loose all coherent thought and I sound like a complete idiot when speaking. It’s even messing with my concentration during battle!

So I privately spoke with Kaede during one of our stops at her village. I gave her my symptoms and braced myself for the worst.

She simply smiled and said, “Sango, my dear, ye are in love.”

“What?”

No life threatening disease? No mental illness?

“Ye heard me the first time, dear. Now if ye will excuse me, I must gather some things for dinner.”

After she left, I sat there pondering on what she had told me.

She must be wrong. Maybe she misunderstood me? Maybe she misdiagnosed me? Nah! She’s just trying to play matchmaker like most old women her age. It was either that or she had sniffed one too many herbs before hearing me out. Besides, for her to say that, whatever I have can’t be all that bad. It’s probably just some phase that I’m going through. I’ll probably be back to normal in no time.

Yeah, that sounds right.

Satisfied with my conclusions, I got up and went to join the others for dinner. I couldn’t help but chuckle and shake my head at Kaede’s answer.

Love?

Pfff. Yeah right.

Because there’s no way I could be in love with Inuyasha.
