-1"KOHAKU!" Sango screamed as she disappeared into the forest, Kohaku… It rang a bell, although however faint. Kagome pulled me alone behind her as we stumbled after the crazed Sango. Needless to say the past 2 weeks had been full of adventure for me. Inuyasha and the gang never kept me bored that's for sure. Recently Kagome had sensed the jewel shard and it just so happened to be Sango's younger brother, Kohaku. It bugged me that his name was there, in my memory yet still out of my grasp. I shook my head in annoyance, why couldn't I remember?

"Will you two hurry up?" Inuyasha asked before grabbing us both and tucking each under one of his arms. Kagome's face fell. I had to giggle this wasn't something not to expect from Inuyasha, he was pretty stupid.

"Put us down Inuyasha!" Kagome ordered, I figured she thought her pride slightly altered since she hadn't willingly jumped onto his back.

"Will you pipe down?" He answered irritably, I giggled again. Kagome sighed and went quiet, good old Kagome. I realized she had to have the patience of a Saint to put up with him. I think she'd almost appreciate it if Lord Sesshomaru finally finished him off. But no, she was in love with him as he was her, it was plain as day on their faces. I had to wonder if my love for Sesshomaru was so obvious.

Speaking of Sesshomaru he hadn't turned up. I was starting to doubt that he even notices my absence. It hurts, a lot. Do I not deserve him? He could've at least come to find me or put in a little effort! Like having Jaken come find me, is that so bad? At least it would prove he cares. Which of course he doesn't. I sighed heavily attracting a sideways look from Kagome.

"Are you okay, Rin?" She asked her big raven eyes bright. I smiled and shook my head around her how could you not be optimistic? Of course I used to be like that too, until I realized my love for Sesshomaru and how he'd never feel the same.

"KOHAKU!" Sango cried again, my attention focused in on the monk and the demon slayer clad in pink and black armor rode on Kirara the demon cat. A young man, clad in the same armor as Sango only it was yellow and black, who was a little older than me jumped from tree to tree just above Sango's reach. Suddenly Sango leaped into the air and tackled him out of a tree, they plummeted to the ground Kohaku on bottom. The monk Miroku, jumped off of Kirara just in time to break their fall. Needless to say he looked a little squished. Miroku somehow managed to wiggle out from under the two siblings and stood on the side by Inuyasha who had finally released Kagome and me. "Kohaku!" Sango said through gritted teeth looking into her brothers eyes. A flicker of understanding flashed in the boys eyes just to be swallowed back up by the vacancy they usually displayed.

"Kagome, can't your touch purify jewel shards?" Miroku asked, Kagome nodded reluctantly.

"Yeah but I don't think that's going to work." She admitted. Sango was glaring at her with eyes of onyx, I felt Kagome shrink back.

"Please try, Kagome!" Sango said passionately, it gave me goosebumps. Kagome gave a dedicated nod and stepped over, Sango forced Kohaku onto his stomach, pinning him there. Kagome hesitantly reached out to touch the glowing cloth, nothing happened. Sango hissed in frustration before ripping away part of the boys outfit to reveal his pale flesh. Kagome nodded again to touch the flesh, she touched it hesitantly then pulled away like she'd been burned.

"That's never happened before." She murmured rubbing her finger on her skirt.

"S-Sango?" The boy asked from underneath her. Sango released Kohaku and sat down next to him.

"Y-yes?" The boy sat up, horror bright in his chocolate eyes, they were watering. An involuntary cry escaped Sango's throat.

"I-I killed them, Father, and the villagers. What have I done?" He asked shakily hiding his shamed face in his arms sadly.

"Kohaku." Sango whispered painfully. "It's not your fault, you were under Narakus spell." She said Narakus name with disguist. Kohaku sat there, shaking as his sister cradled him in her arms.

"I don't like this, it might be a trap." Inuyasha pointed out.

"But we have to believe it's not." Kagome told him. I remained quiet. Suddenly the boy lifted his head and stared at me, his mouth in a perfect 'o'.

"Rin?" I nodded, okay so he knows me? Then it struck me, Kohaku. He had tried to kill me once, then Sesshomaru had almost killed him… Kohaku.
