Chapter 1: Past Reviewed

Entry 2:

"Hello Journal. It's a dreary, rainy day out and I've completed my chores. Kohaku is feeling sick, so I believe he is napping.  Kirara is asleep, so I'm kind of alone at the moment. Father has been rather busy lately. Its days like this I really miss mother. She always had time to spend with me. Oh, she was such a wonderful woman. About 3 years ago, she grew very sick suddenly and died. Father doesn't like to talk about her, but he often seems to indicate he'd like me to be a little more like her. Some times I don't think he likes the idea of me continuing in the family business. On the other hand, he seems so supportive."

"My 14th birthday is coming up soon. Maybe in the next year or so I can tag along on a job. It sure is a lot more fun than doing my chores, that's for sure! Too bad I've got so many. Oh, Father is calling me! I must be going now. Bye for now."

Entry 3:

"Hello Journal. I know it's been a month or so since my last entry. Things got rather busy. It's so exciting. Father is letting me go with them on their next exterminating mission. It happened today. You see, I was outside practicing with Hiraikotsu when I heard father behind me. He said to me, Sango. . ."

*reenactment*

"Sango," came the soft roar of her father's voice. The young woman caught the boomerang and turned to face her father. He looked at his little girl; not quite so little any more. Sango was turning into a beautiful young lady.

"You've become quite good with your Hiraikotsu Sango dear."

Sango looked at her father and listened intently.

"And well, I guess where I'm going with this is. . . Sango, I think it's high time you came on an exterminating job. You're fourteen years old now after all and to be honest with you, I've never seen anyone so talented with their weapon in all my years."

She looked at him, almost in a way to question if he was serious or not. He smiled at his little girl reassuringly and she sprang into his arms for a hug.

"Oh thank you father! I promise I won't let you down."

"I know you won't," he replied. "So keep practicing. It could be any time now that you'll be going on your first day of work."

*Journal*

"So you see journal, it's really quite exciting. I'll hardly be able to sleep tonight. Imagine; my first exterminating job. I'll be sure to write you and let you know how it turns out. For now, I'd better get some sleep. Who knows, we may be called on tomorrow. Good night dear friend."

"Sango-chan!" called Kagome.

"Hai!"

"Come on, we're ready to leave. I think there are jewel shards near by."

Sango gathered up the diary and stuck it carefully in her bag. A smile came to her face and for a moment, she felt like that little girl with freckles and messy hair that wrote those entries; and for a second, she missed it. She took in a deep breath of air before running after the group to catch up with them.

~Note from the Author~

The next chapter will probably be nothing but a journal entry about her first exterminating experience. Question: does anyone know how old Sango is in the serious? It would be most helpful to know. Thanks!  Please R&R. Constructive criticism only please. Thank you!
