As demanded, a sequal has been made. However, I will only continue if I get a decent amount of reviews for the fic. Cause there where at times in part I to where I felt as if there was no point in continuing since few had reviewed so that is why I said what I am saying.

Disclaimer: I do not own or have created Inu-Yasha, this is my disclaimer through out the entire fic.

Summary: Begins two years later. Sango finds out that Naraku was killed and soon makes the decision to go back to Inu-Yasha. However, there's only one problem, what will Inu-Yasha think of all of this? Will he accept Sango back without question or will problems arise? What will happen to Sango and Inu-Yasha?


Inu-Yasha

Broken Promises

Prologue


The dark sky disappeared as the youkai Naraku was finally killed. Kohaku had managed to get close enough to Naraku's heart while Naraku was being distracted by Kagome and Inu-Yasha. Their breathing was hard as they took a moment to catch their breath as they watched as Naraku's body disappeared as well as all of the other creations he created from his body.

So many lives had been lost and all because of one person. So many possible futures had been changed or destroyed because of an evil bastard named Naraku. Kagome couldn't help but watch from the distance as Inu-Yasha held Kikyou as she died. The miko had already died once but now she had to die yet a second time. Kagome and Inu-Yasha had been the ones to make the final blow to Naraku but Kikyou seemed satisfied with what little she did and seemed to finally be at peace. Kagome couldn't help but feel a little bit sad as she watched her former life die. 'Rest in peace my other self.' Kagome thought sadly as she closed her eyes unable to watch the former lovers any longer.

Kikyou's shaking hand moved up to Inu-Yasha's face and cupped his cheek as the souls of others leaked from her body. "Be happy…" She gasped as she felt her life being drained from her. "But never for…get… that I once loved you…" She managed to move up just enough to where her lips touched Inu-Yasha's before sinking back to his lap. Breathing hard, she looked up at the hanyou with blurry eyes and smiled. "Do not live your life with regrets Inu-Yasha, there is still someone who cares for you deeply. Do not let your hatred take over to deny…" Before Kikyou could finish her last words, her eyes closed and her hand dropped from it's position on Inu-Yasha's cheek.

Inu-Yasha could do nothing but watch as she died in his arms. She had been the first person that he had ever loved and now she was gone after they had finally regained each other's trust. 'Rest in peace Kikyou.' He thought and closed his eyes, afraid that they would betray his emotions. But then again, this was how it was meant to be, Kikyou was dead and she should have passed on to the next world a long time ago. "Miroku!" Inu-Yasha said addressing the monk. "Do whatever it is you monks do to the dead." Inu-Yasha said and Miroku nodded at the hanyou's request.

"Even though the ceremony will not take place until you return Kikyou's body to Kaede's village, that should hold her soul over until Kaede can perform the ceremony and I believe that we will not need to worry about Kikyou-Sama since she seems to be at peace this time." Miroku said. "Rest well Kikyou-Sama," Miroku said softly. "It is well earned and well over due."

Inu-Yasha stood up with Kikyou still in his arms. "Your Kazanna…" Inu-Yasha said suddenly. "What of it?"

"It's gone." Miroku said as he showed Inu-Yasha his hand. "That bastard is truly dead this time."

Inu-Yasha nodded as in satisfaction and started to head towards the village. "I'm heading back." He said as he glanced around to find everyone alive. "Kaede-Sama will want to know what happened." Inu-Yasha said and then left.

Miroku watched as the hanyou left. He knew that everyone should have been proud of their victory he couldn't help but sense the gloom that fell over their small party. Something felt out of place.

……..

Sango hung up the laundry as her child laid on a blanket near by. For the past two years she had been living alone near a village that was quite a distance away from her friends. She lived close to where she could walk to the village but far away not to be bothered. The village she had lived in before had found out that she had given birth to a hanyou and had attacked her during the night and burned down her hut. It was because of that she had decided to keep away from humans as much as possible expect a trusted few.

"Izayoi!" Sango shouted having had named their child after Inu-Yasha's mother, hoping that it would have been a name that Inu-Yasha would have chosen for their child. "Izayoi!" She shouted again and ran behind the hut to hear giggling. "Izayoi!" Sango shouted a bit relieved as she spotted the infant. "Izayoi, don't you ever do that to me again!" Sango said as she picked up her daughter who giggled and patted her mother's face with her tiny hands.

Izayoi was nearly two years old and looked almost exactly like her father. She had Inu-Yasha's ears, eyes, hair, but the thing that got her most of all is that she had a tail. She knew Inu-Yasha's brother had a tail but Inu-Yasha didn't and wondered where Izayoi had gotten it since Inu-Yasha didn't have one even though Inu-Yasha's father did. The only thing in their daughter that resembled her at all was the shape of Izayoi's face.

Sango headed back towards the front of the hut while carrying Izayoi and placed her back down on the blanket. "Now," Sango said as she sat on her knees. "You stay where I can see you. Don't go wandering off and scaring me again, do you understand me?" Sango asked and Izayoi just smiled. She headed back to the line of laundry, which was mostly Izayoi's cloth diapers. The only thing on the line that was hers was her Taijiya outfit which was drying from being washed from a recent battle. It had been stained by the youkai's blood which she had killed and it had begun to stink soon after she had finished the battle and needed to be washed. She shook the memory out of her mind since the battle had placed a gaping whole in her house which took nearly two days to completely finish. The work was unpleasant seeing as how she had no where to place Izayoi.

She turned to her daughter to check and see if the child was still where she had left her and her eyes widened in horror when she had discovered that Izayoi had once again crawled away. No, not crawling… She realized once she spotted Izayoi; Izayoi was laughing as she clumsily made her way to none other then Sesshoumaru.

"Izayoi!" Sango shouted at her daughter who ignored her mother's cry and was about to go after her but Sesshoumaru was quicker.

"This is why I smelt the hanyou's sent in this part of the world." Sesshoumaru thought frowning as he stared at the two year old who smiled at her uncle and patted the side of Sesshoumaru's face giggling happily without a care in the world. "So Inu-Yasha is not here?" Sesshoumaru asked as he looked around.

"Ah!" Rin said as she tried to look at what Sesshoumaru was holding. "Ah! A baby! Let Rin see Sesshoumaru-Sama!" Rin said as she jumped up trying to get a closer look at the baby.

"No…" Sango answered fearfully afraid of what Sesshoumaru would do to her daughter. "I haven't seen him for two years now…"

"I see." Sesshoumaru said with a monotone voice. "But this is his correct?" Sesshoumaru asked as the baby began to snuggle against Sesshoumaru's tail before falling asleep.

"Yes…" Sango admitted hesitantly but there was no sense in lieing. She knew that Sesshoumaru could tell that the child was Inu-Yasha's just by her sent. Sesshoumaru's nose was stronger then Inu-Yasha's and she feared what Sesshoumaru might do if she didn't tell him the truth.

"Since you have not seen Inu-Yasha in two years, then I'm guessing that you don't know that Naraku is now dead?" Sesshoumaru asked with a hint of disgust towards the youkai in his eyes.

"What?" Sango asked a bit surprised by the news. "Naraku's dead?"

"Yes." Sesshoumaru replied which made Sango sigh with relief.

"When?" Sango asked.

"Three months ago!" Rin answered excitedly. "I was like NOOOO SESSHOUMARU-SAMA! And then Sesshoumaru-Sama easily…" She looked at Sesshoumaru who was now glaring at her to be silent. "Rin be silent!" She said before Sesshoumaru had a chance to say it since she already knew what he was going to say. He was difficult to read sometime but other times he was easy to understand.

"Inu-Yasha doesn't know about this child does he?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"No, he doesn't know…" Sango admitted and wondered why she was being so truthful.

"I see…" Sesshoumaru said and all Sango wanted to run forward to protect Izayoi but Sesshoumaru's next move surprised her since Sango expected Sesshoumaru to kill Izayoi.

"Take it back to her." Sesshoumaru ordered and Rin blinked a bit confused by her lord's actions and looked at the baby and smiled.

"Ah! What a cute baby!" Rin said as she looked at Izayoi and smiled. Rin then walked over to Sango and handed Izayoi to the Sango before returning back to Sesshoumaru's side.

Sesshoumaru was... kinder… then she remembered. The Sesshoumaru she used to know would have killed Izayoi on the spot.

"I'm not killing you today because I'll allow my brother to deal with you." Sesshoumaru said as he turned his back to leave. "Whether or not he rejects you or accepts you back is his choice. You are his mate and your fate lies in his hands."

Sango held her daughter close, realizing how she could have lost her today. "Don't ever do that again OK?" She asked the sleeping child in her arms. 'Your uncle isn't someone you should exactly do that to…' Sesshoumaru was different then she remembered. The Sesshoumaru she knew was cold and unkind to where this one now was. Did something happen to the man to make it all change? She wondered as she watched him leave. 'Could it be the girl?' She wondered as she stared at the child who followed him. But Sesshoumaru hated humans didn't he?

She shook her head and looked down at her daughter as she entered the house. Naraku was no dead. It took long enough but he was finally dead. She would have loved to have been there when they did it but she had a baby to worry about. Not to mention that she would have just been in the way and would have been too fat to fight.

Now that he was dead, she could finally return to Inu-Yasha. A familiar feeling filled her heart as she thought about the hanyou. She was going to see him again! After being separated from him all this time. She couldn't wait to see him. She wondered how he was doing day after day and couldn't help but miss him.

She headed back into the house with Izayoi in her arms and began to gather her things which where very few. She couldn't wait to see him, she wondered if he would be happy to see her again. Then, that was when it hit. Would Inu-Yasha want her back? She wondered. She had left without even telling him and had kept his own child a secret from him for two years.

She felt as her knees went out from underneath her and she landed hard on her knees as she fell. She didn't start crying because her knees now hurt, she was crying because she couldn't stand the thought of Inu-Yasha rejecting her. She stayed like that for some time. How long she stayed in that position, she didn't know.

Finally when it was close to sundown, she had made her decision. (and no Sango doesn't stay in that position the whole time cause that would really hurt.) She started to pack her things, which where very few since she owned only what she needed. They would leave in the morning, when it would be safer to travel by light then by dark. She would be returning home, if she had a home to return to.


There you have it. The awaited prologue of the next sequal. However, I will be busy for the next couple of weeks until school is out so don't be surprised that I don't update until toward the middle of May. I have a couple of chapters written but they need heavy editing.

Well tell me what you think and happy readings.
