"Itsu made mo dare yori mo soba ni itai no
Kono hiroi sora no shita de meguriaeta anata
Hohoemi mo kanashimi mo wakeaeru ne to
Mune de sou kanjite iru anata to nara"

"Forever, more than anyone, I want to be with you
Below this spacious sky above, you who I met by chance
Through all the joy and the pain, we will share it together
In my heart that's how I feel, when I am with you"

Irony – Chapter 1…
…Expect the Unexpected…
~*~*~*~*~*~
Sango had no idea how long she had been running for, or where she was going. She just needed to get away, to be alone. She needed to think.
Finally she stopped, out of breath.
'Kohaku…'
The sheer thought of her brother brought tears to her eyes. She sunk to her knees, as a few tears silently dripped down her face.
Oh, how she hated crying. Crying showed a person's weakness. She knew she had to stay strong.
She sat on the ground, pulling her knees up to her chest.
She sniffed a few times; she wasn't crying anymore. Sango sighed, lifting her head to look up at the sky.
'It's getting late. I should get back to camp, everyone is probably worried about--' her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a quiet rustling sound, coming from the bushes behind her.
'Houshi-sama must have followed me here…' she figured, slightly angered by her lack of privacy. Sango stood up and dusted herself off.
"Houshi-sama?" she asked out loud. Something still felt so wrong about this…
She turned around and gasped. She definitely hadn't been expecting this…
"Naraku!"
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Miroku, will you stop the fucking pacing!" Inuyasha yelled angrily in irritation.
Miroku stopped.
"If it bothers you so much, I shall go elsewhere" Miroku replied calmly.
Inuyasha just snorted, so Miroku continued his pacing.
Kagome sighed, 'Miroku-sama must be so worried, Sango-chan has been gone for a couple hours already…'
"Inuyasha?" Kagome said quietly while petting a sleeping Kirara with her left hand.
"What?" Inuyasha retorted and glared at the girl sitting across from him.
"Sango-chan has been gone for a while now, maybe we should go search for her…" she gave him a pleading look.
Inuyasha stared at her for a moment, obviously unable to refuse. He sighed.
"Alright, I'll follow her scent if you want" Inuyasha answered.
"Arigato" she smiled sweetly at him, leaning forward to rub his ears. Oh, how she loved doing that. They were so soft and…
Suddenly, Inuyasha's head shot up. His expression turned into an angry one as he sniffed the air. Miroku also stopped pacing while the once sleeping Kirara woke up.
"What's wrong?" Kagome was sort of confused…
"Naraku is nearby!", Inuyasha shouted out, shooting up in an instant.
Now, Miroku was really worried… Sango was all by herself, with Naraku nearby…
Slowly, he pieced the puzzle together.
He scowled 'The bastard better not hurt her…'
~*~*~*~*~*~
Sango didn't know what to do. She was alone, without her Hiraikotsu, facing her worst enemy.
She knew one thing- she couldn't let him know that she was afraid.
"You bastard! Where is Kohaku?" She glared at him.
"You don't seem very happy to see me, Sango", Naraku replied calmly. There wasn't the slightest hint of emotion in his voice.
Sango didn't answer him. Instead she flicked her wrist, making the hidden blade pop out from under her sleeve.
Naraku smirked. "Are you going to fight me… by yourself?" he added on sarcastically, "How amusing…"
Sango was enraged. 'He finds this funny!'
"Answer me! Where is my brother?!" she cried, jumping forward. With as much force as she had, she slashed at Naraku with her blade.
His expression didn't change, even as a few of his roots fell to the ground beside him.
Sango landed gracefully on her feet, flicking her wrist as the blade fell onto the ground beside her.
She turned around to face him, pulling out her katana, the last weapon she had with her.
"You that you can hurt me with a sword?" Naraku let out an evil chuckle as the roots Sango had just slashed off reattached themselves to his body.
'Kuso…' She kept her eyes on Naraku as he looked back at her with amusement. He seemed to be having fun…
"You are quite useless, taijiya"
"Shut up! I'll kill you myself!" she lunged herself at him again, slashing mindlessly. She had let her anger get the better of her again…
He wasn't even fighting back!
Sango landed back on her feet. 'This is pointless. Even the Kaze no Kize has no effect on that asshole…'
Finally he spoke again, his expression turned evil and almost… sinister?
'What's he planning this time…?' Sango wondered.
"As useless as you are, you could prove to be quite useful to me" he eyed Sango, who had a disgusted look on her face.
"What?!", she cried out 'Does he think I will join him?'
'He must be kidding me…--' suddenly, she felt something…
Looking down, she noticed a vine wrap itself around her ankle. He gasped as another root shot out from behind her, knocking her katana out of her hand.
"Wh- " she stopped talking, trying to free herself as more vines wrapped themselves around her body.
She struggled, but it didn't help her much at all…
"What the fuck?!" she was stuck.
The vines had wrapped themselves around her entire body, suspending her in midair.
Where the hell was her blade when she needed it?
