"Sango?" Miroku said putting his hand on her cheek. "Agent Tajiya? Can you hear me?" A doctor asked as she was coming to.

Sango moaned and slowly opened her eyes to find she was in a hospital. "What am I doing here?" she asked trying to keep her head from spinning. She didn't realize but her head was hurting along with her arm and something else she couldn't figure out just yet. But just as she had asked such a question she realized why she was there in the first place.

"Inuyasha!" She said bolting up in a rush that kind of hurt. Miroku put his arm around her to keep her from doing anything else. "Where is he?" she asked ignoring her own pain.

Ian walked into the room along with Emma and Kevin. "He's...He didn't make it..." Miroku said lowering his voice to a whisper.

Kevin, chief of the team stepped forward with his hands crossed in front of him. For the first time that Sango has known him, he actually looks like this is hard for him.

"He was inside and you weren't. Important thing is that you're alive. We can't lose two agents. You'll be released tomorrow so I'll drive back out to pick you up." Kevin said taking her hands. "I'm glad you're alive Sango."

Sango took a deep breath. She couldn't bare to lose it here...Not now. After everyone had gone home and left Sango to be, she laid in the bed and cried.

"It's my fault he's dead now! I should have stopped him from going in...I should have done something!" She thought to herself. The night passed and day came. Sango was then released to go.

"Thanks chief." she said getting into his car.

"Well, we couldn't think of losing you either and everyone else is busy. When we found you, we also found blood. Guessing you came face-to-face with Markus we got a sample of it and it's at the lab right now. I don't know what we will find with just his blood but we'll try our best."

"What is wrong with everyone? Is his death not meaningful to anyone?" Sango asked. "We sit here in your car talking about a case that I could care less about right now and you don't stop to think that one of our team member is dead!?" Sango was starting to get really mad which was hard for her to do unless she really cared.

Kevin looked at her as he turned a corner and sighed, "Don't do this Sango. We're all hurt but we have to finish this case. We just need--."

"Don't tell me all we need is to get back to work. With all due respect chief but this, losing him is too much! How can we think about finding Markus when he killed him!" she said cutting him off.

"Agent Sango! Are you questioning my orders here?" Kevin asked.

"No, sir."

"Then just give everyone time. Once we catch Markus we'll all figure something out. Till then we just have to keep going."

Sango sighed and closed her eyes. Before she knew it she was at the station. She wasn't going to let her injury stop her from working on this case nor on any other case for that matter.

"Sango!" Miroku called out to her walking over to her.

"Hey Miku."

"What are you doing tonight?" He asked her. Miroku was 23yrs of age and loved Sango dearly. They both loved each other really.

"Ah, I was going to stay late and try and finish the paperwork I have. Why got something on your mind?" She asked putting her hair back in a pony tail. Miroku closed her door and stepped forward putting his hand on her cheek bringing her close to him.

"I was hoping you would like to stop by my place for a while tonight." he said whispering in her ear. Sango closed her eyes and sighed trying to contain herself.

"I'll see what I can do." she said looking at him. As if she actually had anything else to do but paper work. Miroku wrapped his arm around her waist being very gentle since she was hurt and kissed her deeply.

"I really, really am glad you're alive and okay." he said. "I need to go and pick up something but I'll see you tonight about 7pm?" he said walking out not giving her a chance to respond. Just as he left Sango's cell ranged.

"What you got for me Alison?" she said.

"Well, the blood that Markus left behind after you shooting him which must I say great shoot!"

"Thanks." Sango said half smiling.

"Well, there isn't much I can really say but in his blood on rather on his blood he must have had a strand of someone's else hair because I've been looking up and--."

"wait, hair? Alison, who's hair is it?" Sango asked not caring about the other stuff. She could hear Alison typing in the background and sighing.

"Okay, her name is...Kiyoshi Ming Yu. She's a freshman in college but apparently she hasn't been in school."

"Or maybe she has but she's been seeing Markus in between." Sango said.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, there are two things here. The hair he had could either be because he has her or maybe she could be seeing him and her hair fell off on him."

"How so?"

"It's like he's lying about who he might be with her...Either way, can you get an address on her Al?"

~type~type~type~type~type.

"Ah, I've got both the school and address. the home address is 18 wellstreet, butternut lane. and the school's name is Laka Waka University."

"Great, thanks Ali. You're a lifesaver."

"That's what I'm here for babe."

Sango nodded and hung up walking out her office into Kevin's. She laid the paper down in front of him.

"Kiyoshi Ming Yu, 18yr-old girl in college...I think Markus might have her or she might be his next victim." Sango said. Kevin stood up and walked passed her.

"You and Ian go to the college and me and Emma and Miroku will take a look at the house."

Sango nodded. Ian and her both went to the college. Walking up they both hard a shot, ducked and took out their guns. They slowly made their way to where they heard the noise. Ian kicked in the door and aimed his gun. Gasps went through the whole room as Sango looked through realizing it was a classroom full of students.

"Don't shoot!" screamed one of the teachers.

"Lab project. We thought we heard shooting." Ian said relaxing.

"Sorry to barge in like this ma'am but we're with the FBI" Sango said taking out her badge and showing it to her. "But we need to ask a few questions about a student her by the name of Kiyoshi Ming Yu."

As Sango said the name one of the students shot up in a flash and gasped, "Have you found her!?" She started crying.

Sango put her gun away and walked over to the student. "What do you mean...Have we found her?"

The girl looked down and wiped her eyes.

"Miss, may we have a word with you out in the hall?" Ian said. They all walked out and the girl broke down in Sango's arms.

"Dear, wont you tell us what you mean?" She asked looking at the girl.

"Kiyoshi hasn't really been in her dorm. I'm her roommate. I haven't seen her in 2weeks and I told someone about it but they said she had notified them that she was going on a drive and would be back soon and not to worry. But she never came back!"

"Who did this someone look like that told you?" Ian asked.

"He was tall, dark hair and just the wickedest smile ever and it gave me the creeps." The girl said.

"Is there anything else you saw? Like a tattoo maybe or something else?" Sango asked.

"He did have like a tattoo on his right forearm...It said Maître de l'assassinat in big black words."

Ian sighed getting out his phone.

"What does it mean? Why are you even hear?" Asked the teacher.

"This man you've just described to us is a serial killer. Very dangerous and highly skilled in taking bodies apart." Ian said walking back over to them obviously not caring if he freaks them out. " We need to know if you see him around here often and if so where?"

"He works here from what he wears." the girl said. "Don't know where in the building though. I'm sorry."

"That's okay. Please do give us a call if you see him again. Don't hesitate." Sango said giving the girl their card. The girl nodded and went back into the classroom.

"Same goes for you ma'am."

"Will do. Thank you."

Sango and Ian walked back out to their car. "What now? We now know where he gets his victims from. We can't just leave here and let someone else get killed." asked Sango.

"We'll send over some cops who will take night shifts. Chances are Markus wouldn't dare take a girl in the brood day light." he said starting the car and driving off.

The day passed and night fell. Sango was way too tired to go anywhere but home.

"Hello?" Miroku said.

"I'm not going to be able to come over...I just...I really need to just go home and lay down. I'm sorry." she said starting her car up.

"No, it's okay. Maybe next time. You drive safe and rest...I love you." he said sitting up from bed. He was hoping that she would come over but he knew she been through a lot so it didn't bother him...much.

"I love you too." she said before hanging up and driving home.

"More than you think..." Miroku said to himself.
