I saw the Butterfly Effect and the end had the most amazing song. So I stalked it up off the internet…and wrote a fic about it.

Stop Crying Youre Heart Out by Oasis

Sango trembled slightly.

" Don't you drop that." Inuyasha warned from across the room where he was sitting cross legged.

Kagome glared at him. She dropped the jewel carefully into Sango's hand, the chain sliding along, sleekly, discreet, almost reptilian. The bottle was dropped into her palm as well. The interspersed shards glowed and glinted off the early dawn light that permeated the room. They flickered at her, almost innocently. So pure.

Maybe not so innocent.

" Are you sure?" Sango asked nervously trying to keep her voice steady. A warm hand touched her shoulder gently. She started and turned to face..

" Houshi-sama!" she exclaimed surprised.

" There's only one more, on more to complete it." He nodded towards the shards.

Inuyasha scoffed. " Yep, we're setting out tomorrow so we can get Kohaku and get the last shard. Then this whole damn ordeal is done."

His words, as rough as was expected shocked Sango. She was stung. Like she had been slapped. She turned away, shivering although a summery morning warmth clouded the room hazily.

" I need to…do something." Sango stood and walked towards the door. She ducked under its bamboo threads and then, took off, first at a steady long stride and then lengthening into a sprint. The ground shook violently beneath her as if a certain hanyou was obviously slammed into the ground…several times. She ran faster closing her eyes, running, it was bliss, almost nothingness.

" Ow, dammit!"

Then she hit a tree and decided it was safer to keep her eyes open.

She ran, he fingers fumbling to keep her hair up and out of her face. She ran, flying past numerous landscapes and the sun began to lower bringing the heat of the noontime.

Hold up

Hold on

Don't be scared

You'll never change what's been and gone

It was almost mid-afternoon. Had she been running that long? Or had the heat over taken her? She needed to find an oasis (yes, I know bad pun).

She slowed to a walking pace, and then stood still listening for the clear trickling of a stream.

It was there. And he was there. It was peaceful, almost dream-like. She sat on the edge of a protruding stone filling her canteen, avoiding eye contact with him.

" Nice day Lady Sango?"

" It's not." She decided aloud resolutely. " How did you find me Houshi-sama?"

" It wasn't difficult. What with you trampling through the woods and all."

May your smile (may your smile)

Shine on (shine on)

Don't be scared (don't be scared)

Your destiny may keep you warm

They sat in silence for a moment. Miroku watching her, and she the foliage, although, not really seeing it at all.

" Has Inuyasha picked out his death date?" she shot bitterly at him, shattering the silence with her harsh tones.

" We set out tomorrow," His words were calm but tense.

" Why tomorrow?" She inquired, she had a strong urge to be insufferable.

" Because, tonight. Is that night."

Oh yes, of course. That night. The night where the moon's phase would be full. The night when Inuyasha lost all demonic properties (except of course his temper perhaps.) A human. How could anyone, even half-demon be so heartless?

Cruel?

Uncaring?

Get up (get up)

Come on (come on)

Why're you scared? (I'm not scared)

You'll never change what's been and gone

She and Miroku walked back towards the village in silence, walking a little apart, but together. Both were careful not to break the silence. The silence was a kind of…contract. Unknown, unsaid, unseen, but as heavy and solid as any.

They rested for the rest of the day, lazily basking in the summer day. Shippo, being the annoying brat he was (DIE SHIPPO DIE!!!) killing off some ants and then freaking out and running away.

Kirara sat by her owner though, Sango, sitting under a tree eyes narrowed in concentration.

It would be tonight.

Cause all of the stars

Are fading away

Just try not to worry

You'll see them some day

Sango's eyes stayed open. Inuyasha was in the other room along with Miroku. Inuyasha would have lost his demonic powers surely by now. That and his keen sense of hearing. She wouldn't be distracted. Quickly and silently so as not to wake Kagome, she changed into her taijiya outfit and scooped Kirara into her arms.

She walked outside, Kirara transformed.

" Find him." She whispered

And they took off into the night.

Little did she know one wasn't quite as asleep as she thought.

Cause all of the stars

Are fading away

Just try not to worry

You'll see them some day

Take what you need

and be on your way

and stop crying your heart out

She didn't have to search long. Naraku came and went in his idiodic baboon suit, none of it really concerned her at all.

Finally the one person that really mattered came.

" Kohaku." She whispered softly. Sango knew he couldn't hear her. Well, atleast that Kohaku couldn't hear her.

" Oh god." She whimpered, what had Naraku done? To her poor, sweet, innocent little brother.

His eyes stared blankly at her, raising his kusarikama chained sickle. Swiftly he swung. She dodged, knowing what she had to do and she withdrew her katana from her waist the sheath banging, emptily onto her thigh. Even as the clanging sound trilled in the air vibrating, both were on their next move. Next attack.

At eachother.

"Kohaku." She whispered yet again. Almost pleading. She caught his sickle in the sword and then, the salt water streaking down her face.

" I'm sorry Kohaku."

She plunged it. Right into his stomach.

It wasn't how she expected. The usual dramatic feeling she had seen other murderers, yes, she supposed she was one, they all backed up in horror gasping. And she obviously didn't feel like those jovial and excited ones either. For her, she had most expected the first emotion. It didn't come. And she realized. It wasn't incomplete. It just had to be done. And with that the tears stopped.

Take what you need

and be on your way

and stop crying your heart out

His eyes opened wide. They flashed back to the frightened, shy, and loving brother she had known.

She smiled weakly at him " Kohaku."

He looked palely into her eyes, and then he winced and looked down at his stomach.

" Sister,"

" Yes."

" I'm scared."

" Me too." She nodded and then he reached backwards and crumpled.

She gasped and let go of him. The jewel shard was in his hand. His lifeline.

It always came down to this didn't it? She angrily cursed the jewel. All of this, all of this terror and pain and sorrow. All of it surrounded this evil thing.

She set the jewel down, surely Inuyasha would come find it, he would smell the blood by daybreak. Or perhaps Naraku would find it first, after all Kohaku was his minion. It all really didn't matter anymore. She laughed aloud. It didn't sound like her at all.

She brought the lifeless body of her brother towards her and embraced it. Embraced the empty shell she had once loved hard…waiting. And finally the sword penetrated her coral shield, breaking it into two, and it plunged into her stomach.

She heard a cry. It sounded familiar. Perhaps it was just her imagination, after all, this pain was unbearable, but she would do anything to hurt more than she did already.

Finally, it came. Nothing came and stole her away. Happy nothing.

And stop crying youre heart out…

I think I actually did cry when I wrote this. And I wrote it in Spanish class mind you so everyone was kind of freaking out.

Ack. Don't kill me yet tho…if you wanna read the epilogue…and if there's an epilogue then..duh…yeah?

So go review! NOW.
