Mushi-SanBan: This is my first Inuyasha story on here so far. i don't know when sango's b-day is, soooo...........

Chapter 1: Together again

It was Sango's 17th birthday today- February 19. She had woken up early that morning and gone down to the stream to sit and think. She cuddled up into her warm yukata that Kagome had given her and stared blankly at the pond as memories from the past year flashed through her mind. She thought back to when they had defeated Naraku, and Kohaku and her were reunited at last. She also thought back to the saddest part of her past..... when Mirokou had died.

She felt the tears start to well up in her eyes and rubbed them with the sleeve of her pink outfit. The thought returned to haunt her even more. The part when his wind tunnel had sucked him up went through her head over and over, until she heard a comforting voice from behind her. It was Kagome.

" Sango, are you alright?" Kagome asked, placing a hand on her shoulder.

" Yeah, " Sango said as she stood up to face the girl, " I'm fine. I was just thinking about-"

Kagome cut her off. " Mirokou. I know. But, you know he's in a better place now."

Sango felt her head droop and she stared at the ground. Kagome took a step forward.

" I'm sorry for saying that. Now I've made you sad again." Kagome said, " But..... nevermind. Well, happy birthday!" she tried to sound as cheerful as possible in this type of situation.

Sango said, " Thank you." before she and Kagome started to walk toward their campsite.

Kagome was silent for the most part, but then she piped up and said something that somehow comforted the slayer.

" You know you'll find true love soon, Sango." Kagome said. Sango slightly smiled and thought about who she would actually get together with. Koga? Ginta? Hakkaku? Anyone?

She never even thought about him.

As they approached the camp, Shippo jumped into Kagome's arms, seeking protection from Inuyasha.

" What the heck are you doing, Inuyasha?!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha glared at the kitsune in her arms.

Kagome didn't even wait for a reply, and just gave him her famous SIT.

As the three continued fighting, Sango walked toward the fire where breakfast was cooking. She picked up a slender twig and started playing in the ashes out of boredom and thought. She drew her stick back when it had caught fire and spun it around, looking blankly at it as if she didn't know what else there was in life to do.

" Mirokou..." she mumbled to herself. She held back the oncoming tears and continued to stare at the red flame. She couldn't forget the guy, no matter how hard she tried. But, maybe Kagome was right. maybe she would find someone else.

Mushi-SanBan: I know it was short, but it's only the first chapter. The next one will be longer. There aren't enough Sesshomaru and Sango fics. Waaahhhh! I love this pairing!!!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. If I put Inuyasha on my Christmas list, do you think Santa will bring me the deed so I can own the show? LOL! Okay, that wasn't funny.....
