Hello everyone! It has been a while since I grabbed this keyboard, and now that I have the opportunity, I'm going to write another story. I hope you'll like this, and it just came out of a boring class in Health about the Reproductive System, which has been ringing in my ears ever since fourth grade. It is slightly AU, alternate universe, and of course, a Sango fic. Who her partner is will be judged according to your reviews. So please take time and read, give this a chance!

[My Mother's Secret]
by MidoriTenshiSakura
Prologue: Revelations
"Yue! Yue!" I hear my mother call from the gazebo, near the pond. I rise from my position, seated at the edge of the veranda of our temple. I run towards her and sat beside her.
She seemed to have been thinking about something before she called me, and eternity seemed to have passed before she noticed that I was already sitting beside her. "Hai, kaa-san?"
She turned to look at me, her brown locks flying as the breeze of autumn blew around us, her stern look becoming gentle. "Yue, have you ever wished that you had a sister?"
I am Yue. A child with amber eyes and frail body. People around me say that I look like my mother, but I certainly disagree. The color of her eyes, maybe, but all my other features seemed to have come from my father. My father, my mother's other half. My father, whom I have never seen ever since I opened my eyes to this world. Odd for me to say that I look like my father, but from who else am I going to get my features? From the neighbor? From my cat?
Once when I was three, I asked my mother about my father. I have never seen him, nor heard from him. My mom just said that he was in a place far away, that he doesn't have the chance to go back here, that we cannot reach him. At first I did not understand. But when I asked Kaede-baasan where my father was, she looked at me apologetically. And, hesitantly, she told me that he was long gone... Deceased.
The day I learned that my father died, I lost hope of having a fatherly figure beside me as I grow old. But it did not matter; I have my mother by my side. But whenever my mother and I went to visit Kagome-josan's house and played with Hikari, I felt very insecure. Hikari has a mother, a father, a younger brother named Ryuhei. Me? I have a mother... and a cat.
But my mother... She seemed very distracted all the time, and would rarely talk to me. Whenever I would go near her, she would give a start. And whenever she looked at me, I felt like I was the most dreaded person in the world, and after a few moments she would cry and look again there... To the west... Where the sun sets, where she always wants to set her eyes on.
I really don't know why at some time, she gets really angry at me even if I haven't done anything wrong. Six years ago, I could still remember it clearly, I went to her as she sat on her usual spot and asked if I could have a sister. Glaring, she looked at me and shot a furious glance. I was taken aback - I have never seen her like this. She was calm, and always held a placid expression, but this... it is different. Scared, I ran into the house and never asked about having a sister since.
But there are also times that she would just smile whenever I would do something wrong. Just like a while ago, I tried fixing the gate to the heart of the shrine, but it only gave out and crashed down to the ground. She heard of this, and went to check - and saw her precious son covered with sand and the gate much worse than what it has been. I figured out that I should explain, so I opened my mouth to speak. But she never gave me the chance. She just smiled at me, then walked away, back to her sanctuary.
Peculiar, yes, but even if she is like this, I love her with all my heart. She is everything to me.
As my mother asked me this question I felt her hands tremble against mine. Her eyes met mine, and with all the strength I could muster, so as not to offend her, I smiled weakly and nodded.
"Yue..." My mother started, then she looked away. "I've been wanting to tell you this from the first time I knew you'd understand... And I hope you'd understand, since I think you have come of age."
"Sango! Sango!" Kaede-baasan hollered from inside the temple, and my mother gave a start and stood up. "Hai, Kaede-baasan?"
Kaede-baasan peeked from the shoji, and went out, carrying tea with her. She went to where we were seated, and placed the tray beside my mother. She whispered something; that I cannot understand, but my mother nodded and Kaede-baasan left at once.
"As I was saying, Yue, now that you are ten years old, I want to tell you a story that I should have told you a long time ago."
I was all ears at that time. And then it came to me. Why my mother has been acting contrary to what Kaede-baasan would tell me about her... Why she was always silent... Why she always looked to the west...
That time that I listened to her story, I found out many things about her... Her past life, how she got to where she is, how she got the respect of the society...
And at that time, I learned about my mother's secret...
...tsuzuku...
