Chapter 1

"No!" Sango yelled as she sat up in her bed.

Kaedae rushed into her room, "What is it child?"

"Another nightmare," Sango gulped. She cradled her head in her hands as she tried to calm herself.

Kaedae nodded knowingly, "If you need anything, I will be in my room." With that, Kaedae turned and walked out of Sango's bedroom.

Sango slowly sank back down into her pillows and recalled the dream that had woken her up so suddenly.

DREAM

In the warehouse, she saw her brother chained to the table. "Kohaku!" she cried struggling against the chains that held her to the wall.

"Tsk, tsk, my dear Sango. You shouldn't yell like that," a man said a he stepped out of the shadows.

She snarled at him. "Who are you and what have you done to my parents?" She pulled again at the chains and winced as they cut into her wrists.

"Name's Naraku, but I doubt that you will be alive much longer. Soon you will join your parents little boy," he said to Kohaku, fidgeting on the table.

"Sango!" he rasped out. "Help . . . . me." He fainted as Naraku came up to him with a thin silver rod.

Naraku slapped him a bit until he woke up. "Wouldn't want you to sleep through this." He grinned evilly as he pumped up the fire next to the table.

Sango watched in horror as Naraku heated up the poker and held back Kohaku's head. "Don't worry. This will hurt." Sango closed her eyes as the hot poker was shoved up Kohaku's nose.

END DREAM

Sango whimpered as the dream faded away. She felt the back of her eyes burning but refused to let the tears fall.

'I am sorry Kohaku. I am so, so sorry.' She thought as she stared at her ceiling.

"Miroku! Think fast!" InuYasha yelled as his best friend as he hurled the football at him. Miroku reached up with his cat-like reflexes and caught the ball.

He smiled at his friends pouting face. "Haven't you learned that I will always catch the ball, InuYasha?"

InuYasha's girlfriend, Kagome, smiled from where she was sitting reading her book. "He is right you know," she commented without looking up from he book.

"Feh! What do you know, wench?" the hanyou spat.

Kagome narrowed her eyes. "What did you call me?"

InuYasha looked nervous, but still had to say, "You heard me, wench."

Miroku just looked on with obvious enjoyment. He looked at his watch. "We should get going," he said grabbing InuYasha before Kagome really got mad.

"Thanks, you saved me from a real beating!" InuYasha whispered gratefully.

"Don't think you are off the hook yet mister!" Kagome yelled at him. InuYasha grimaced.

"Who in the hell thought Monday's were a good idea?" InuYasha grumbled as he walked into his first class with Kagome and Miroku.

'I think the person just wanted to tick you off.' Miroku thought to himself and smiled. He didn't relay his thought to InuYasha though. The hanyou would beat him into the ground for sure.

As they took their seats, Mr. Fluff, who preferred to be called Sesshoumaru or Mr. F, stood at the front of the class. "Attention class," he called. "I have the pleasure of introducing a new student. Her name is Sango Taijia and she just moved here from London."

"That's in England, Inu," Miroku whispered to InuYasha.

InuYasha growled and shot back, "New prey for you I see lecher."

Miroku looked at the girl again. She had her hair underneath a black stocking cap and was wearing a black tank top and black jeans, 'which fit her very nicely' Miroku thought to himself.

Although her figure was flattering, she had bags under her eyes and an overall depressed look about her. She flicked her eyes up and met his gaze, but quickly looked down.

"You can take that empty seat in front of Miss Higarashi." Mr. F said with a gesture towards Kagome.

Kagome smiled and waved her hand. Sango shot her a quick smile and slumped down in her seat.

"Hello!" Kagome chirped. "I am Kagome. Nice to meet you!"

Sango looked up and said, "I am Sango. Nice to meet you too." She looked suspiciously at InuYasha and Miroku who were both staring at her.

"Boys, be nice!" Kagome scolded. She turned back to Sango. "Ignore them. They're jerks!"

Inu growled and Kagome slapped him. "This is InuYasha, my boyfriend. And beware, this is Miroku. He has put his hand on most likely every girl's ass in this city at least once. Mine included."

"Aw, Kagome." Miroku put his hand to his heart. "That hurt! That really did!"

InuYasha growled again and Sango spoke up. "Why are you growling?"

"I am a half-dog demon. Got a problem with that?" Inu growled at her.

Sango shook her head, eyes wide. "That is so cool! Do you have dog ears or human ears?" she asked amazed.

Everyone stared at Sango for a moment. "What?" she said, growing uncomfortable.

"It is just no one has every been okay with finding out about InuYasha." Miroku explained. "Lots of bad experiences with that."

Sango nodded and her attention returned to InuYasha. "You still haven't answered my question."

Kagome smiled. "He has cute little white dog ears," she reached out to rub one of them. "They are my favorite part!" Sango giggled as InuYasha got a dreamy look on his face.

'This is an interesting girl.' Miroku thought as he watched Kagome rub Inu's ears a little more.
