Authors-Note:(This is my first fan fiction, you have been warned)

Also of course I do not own Inuyasha ,but I do own some other stuff but Inuyasha isnt it.

Summary: Inuyasha and his group continue to search for Naraku ,but Sango can't help to feel

that its hopless to defeat Naraku and even if Kohaku is saved she can not heal the eternal wounds of his blood shed past. Not wanting to trouble her companions or worry them either, Sango takes matter into her own hands but is this choice really smart or will she need a certain dog-eared hanyou to lean on for the moment. As two grow closer , Naraku grows stonger and stonger could he have removed the shard from Kohaku and left him dead or is Naraku trying to get Sango to trade places with Kohaku instead?

A Mountain cool breeze played with Sango's long brown chestnut hair. To day was a special day,

Today was Sango's birthday. A couple of months ago the group stop at a wealth village to slay a

demon, much to Sango's favor she felt needed and was able to annihilate the demon like old times.

In reward she received a new sparkling silver and lavender butterfly printed Kimono and a lovely

butterfly clip that matched. Every one was in awe because it was so expensive even Inuyasha had to

admit it as well. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - -- -

"It's a beautiful day, lets set up camp here Inuyasa "Kagome chimed with happiness

"Whatever" Inuyasha whined not really caring at all.

"Ok lets see what mom pack for us today "Kagome said to her self as she began to un pack her

giant yellow back pack."I hope its more Ninja food"! Shippou replied with excitment. as he help

Kagome lay out a large floral printed picnic blanket. "Sango your wearing your hair down" Mirkou

pointed out in surprise as he watcthed the wind play with Sango's hair. She was standing on a small

hill staring at the flower meadows wear her butterfly clip that shined. "Its very attractive, Sango"

Miroku said in a seductive voice and walk toward her and placed his right hand on

her..."SLAP"!!!! A red sting mark appeared on his face as Sango slapped him the sound echoed through the mountain and stared every one , Kilala ran to hide under Inuyasha as Shippou jumped to

Kagome for safety. "HANDS OFF YOU PERV"!!!! Sango yelled in rage as she walk toward the

camp and left Miroku on the ground in pain. "Um...Lunch is ready...uh lets eat every one" Kagome

gestured nervously from the scene. Every one gathered around and took their place on the blanket

even Miroku who was still in pain had some distance between Sango who Inuyasha sat between

them to keep the peace. The bento box contained many rice balls and and varieties of fruit and

veggies along with omletes and some chocolate pocky for desert(N/A: Pocky are chocolate covered

bread sticks, that comes in a red box or pink for stawberry) Every one ate quietly, not even Shippou

and Inuyasha were bickering over food today. Sango sighed in despair "lets just keep the peace for

a while why we are still together...just a little long " she said to her self In her mind. "Is some thing

wrong Sango" Inuyasha asked as he broke the silence finally. This time when he look at her for

some reason he couldn't look away , her eyes we not gleaming with pride like always, her face

has soften and such a mix of emotion took over. Her hair has grew longer almost as long as his, they

where never in race to see who's hair is the longer but Inuyasha would like to point out "you'll

never beat me Sango", joking of course. "Im fine Inuyasha ,don't worry about me " Sango reasured

him with a genuine smile, although he could tell instantly that it was fake. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Don't worry about me"??? how can Sango say that , dose she think Im cold hearted like that bastard

Sesshomaru (N/A:I love Sesshomaru so much) I do worry about you too Sango, I do care ...

(Sango's POV)- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I really wish that Inuyasha would stop glaring at me , I know that he expects me to stonger

even though I am a demon slayer I am still human, which is the fact that I will have to live with for the rest of my life.

I can't help to feel that I've let Kohaku down and maybe I've should'nt have become a demon slayer. Oh great now my

eye are getting watery , I don't want to make a scene, I don't want any ones sympathy either.

As the group continued eating while Sango mostly feed her food to Kilala who was happy to recive extra portions but was concered as

well about her owner."Im going for a walk every one" Sango said in a bit of sadness as she notice the expressions on her friend's face

and hurry away from the campsite with out looking back. She always tried to fight her tears from coming but it nevered work, Until the

demon slayer was out of site of her friends she curled up in ball with her head down resting by a tree and cried tears of frustation and

anger. MeanWhile the rest of the group suffred an ackward silence until Kagome broke it,"Hey every one, Im worried about Sango she

seems to have change a lot" Kagome replied in a worry tone. "I know what you mean Kagome" Miroku said in concern way "Her smile

has faded and her fighting style has change as well more like very aggressively like if she was a demond her self". "You mean like

Inuyasha"? Shippou said. "WILL YALL SHUT UP" !!! Inuyasaha yelled in anger,"Sango is going to be just find ,I know what ever is
