Where We Collide
Kanane left the room and went to the room where she made her meals. She sat infront of the fire and stirred to soup she had started earlier, knowing that there was a figure leading against the door frame watching her.
"Hello... Katsuki. Naraku has sent you atlast," Kanane muttered and continued stirring her soup.
"Yes, you are correct. My master, the Great Lord Naraku has sent me to take care of you and the wench. He will not chance his defeat by some stupid human whore. I will now take your life and give your head to my master and I will become the second most powerful being on this earth!" The male said pulling out his sword, ready to kill.
"Katsuki, my brother. Would you really kill me for him? The answer I am sure will be a 'no'. In stone it is written that you will not and that in fact your own niece, Sango will kill you. Brother, why do you not except?" Kanane sighed and stood, facing Katsuki. "We are the Six K's that are said to protect Sango. Brother, why do you deny?"
"I refuse to be some legend's lapdog! I will pave my own way! And sister, if you just come with me and help me kill the girl then I'm sure Naraku will forgive you and you can join us in our domiation of the world. Please, sister. I wish not to kill you, and you know it," Katsuki said, still ready to pounce on Kanane.
"No, brother. Katsuki, you know that I would never do such a thing! I know the truth, I've read the stone myself! And you are surely the damned one if you do not believe!" Kanane was angry. How dare he?! He was supposed to protect Sango! Not try to kill her! Kanane knew! She had read the stone!
"Then I am sorry sister. But you must die now and so will she," Katsuki raised his sword and ran at full speed, covering the short distance between them, at Kanane.
"Brother, you will surely not kill me. For the stone," Kanane was cut off. Her eyes went wide as she felt the sword peirce her abadomen (sp?). Blood trickeled down from the corner of her mouth and she leaded on her brother's shoulder which was before her. "But the stone says... the stone is never wrong... I must have misread," she whispered in his ear and coughed up blood on the side of his face. She smirked and laughed between a fit of coughs," Brother, I'm sure you think that you can kill her now, but you cannot because the stone says so. It says that when Naraku is defeated I will die. And being that I'm going to die right now says that surely Sango and the rest will take him down. There is no chance to excape it. He will die." Kanane spit up blood once again on him and smiled, licking the shell of his ear and whispered," When my blood hits the floor the transmutation will be completed. I never told you this, but the whole bottom of this hut is an altar in which I transmutate the ones like Sango. With a few drops of blood I could make them hanyous, or any half-demon of their choice. If I sacrificed my own life I could make them a full blodded demon. Neko, wolf demon, bird demon, youkai, kitsune. And needless to say, I've never done that. But with two sacrifices I could make them into a taiyoukai. You thought you could stop destiny from happening? Well brother think again," and with those words she stabbed him with the sword she had hidden in her sleve.
"But, you said she'd kill me?!" her brother screamed with wide eyes and confusion.
"She is killing you. You will die for her, she is the reason that I'm going to kill you my brother. So there for she is, though unknowingly, the one who is killing you," Kanane laughed and smiled. Her eyes rolling into the back of her head. "The stone... is always right. She is after all... our mother," Kanane fell to the floor dead and the whole room began to glow. Katsuki fell to the ground seconds later and tried to breath regularly.
"You are, most certenly, a snicky bitch," he muttered and smiled, holding his gapping wound in his chest," We have done our jobs, Kameko, Kanane, and now I, Katsuki. Live long, my niece Sango. Live and let die."
The whole hut exploded with a bright light that could be seen from miles away. Kagome shook and looked at Inuyasha, wondering if he could see it too.
"Come on, Kagome. Let's go see what's going on," Inuyasha said and Kagome jumped on his back, and then he took off.
'Please have nothing to do with Sango, please have nothing to do with Sango, please have nothing to do with Sango,' Kagome chanted in her mind. Inuyashe, how ever, confermed her fear.
"I smell Sango, but it's different. Her sent is covered with the smell of a demoness. A youkai demoness and a powerful one at that. But oddly, they smell so similer it's uncanny. Hold on tight Kagome, we're going to go full speed." Kagome nodded and held on tighter as Inuyasha picked up speed. "Hold on Sango, we're almost there," he muttered in the wind.
(Near the hut:)
Ranmaru sat on top of a near by tree, watching the light dim alittle. He smirked when he saw Sango's still sleeping body with the neko laying on top on her, sleep as well. It was done. She was now a demoness. And ready to take on the challenge of Sesshomaru. His smirk falttered when he saw two figures coming this way. Then his smirk returned realizingwho it must have been.
"The friends Kanane talked about. Inuyasha, Sesshy's half brother, and the priestess, Kagome... who doesn't smell to innocent now." He laughed. Life was getting complicated. He rubbed his hands together," This will most certinly be fun." With that he headed back in the direction of Sesshomaru's city-state. He figured that the Inuyasha and Kagome would take care of Sango.
"WHAT THE HELL??"
He smiled. So it seemed they had no idea of what Sango was upto. He wished he could be there to see the drama unfold but he had things to do and places to be. Besides, Sesshomaru would bite his head off if he was late for the metting this time.
(Continued:)
Chapter Four:
Wild Coral Blossoms About To Bloom
Flashback:
Kohaku stood before her, his eyes blank and his hand holding his weapon tightly. Sango gasped and dropped her weapon. She couldn't hurt him! He was her brother! No matter what he'd done... he was still her little brother that she had tried to hard to protect. But had failed...
"Kohaku... please! Don't do this! It's me, Sango! Your sister!" Sango pleaded with him. Her brother, her sweet childish brother, reduced to a pet for Naraku and his sick games!
"Sis... Sister... Sango?" Kohaku's eyes returned to life as he stared at her. He looked down as tears flowed down his cheeks. "I'm... so sorry. Sister... I'm sorry that... I'm going to hurt you..." His lip trembled as he looked at her again then his eyes glazed over once again and he wipped the tears from his eyes and attacked her. Rather then fight, she ran away, taking her weapon in her arms and ran as fast as she could. But it still hit her. She screamed as she fell to the ground, the blade slowly sliding down her back. Ripping her armor. When the blade was completely removed, Sango turned and layed on her back looking at Kohaku stalk slowly to her. When he was right above her and ready to deliver the final hit she raised her hiraikotsu and smacked him across the face with it. He fell to the ground, passed out and she lifted herself from the groung leading on her hiraikotsu and walked away, crying as she stumbled in the forest. She couldn't bring him back he'd just awake and attack, still a slave to Naraku's will.
She squeezed her chest, right above her heart and fell the her knees sopping into the night.
"Kohaku!!"
Endflashback:
Sango jolted up from the futon covered in sweat. She looked around, noticing she was no longer in Kanane's hut. She stood and walked towards the door covered with along piece of clothe. She moved the clothe to the side and looked outside and saw Kagome, Inuyasha, and Kaede sitting on the porch. Sango gasped and slowly walked away and then looked at her reflection in the water sitting in the kettle in the middle of the room. She gasped realizing for the first time sence she'd awoken that she was no longer human. Then the transformation was done... but where was Kanane?
She changed into the kimono that lay on the end of the futon she'd been sleeping in and picked up her hiraikotsu and her sword before pushing them through the window at the side of the room and lifted her own body and slidding through the small window. She landed gracefully on her feet and dusted herself of before sneaking to the corner and listening to the conversation being held...
(In Front Of The Hut:)
"Where did you find her?" Kaede asked Inuyasha and Kagome.
"Well... we saw this bright white light and I rode on Inuyasha's back towards it. It was up in the mountains. Sango had left the day before without giving a real reason for it and we were worried that the light had something to do with her but when we got there we found her and Kirara sleeping in a futon and Sango was... not human anymore. Some how someone turned her into a demoness. And a very powerful one at that. The only thing we're worried about is how Sango will act when she wakes and if... she had really wanted it to happen," Kagome explained with a sad experssion. Kaede nodded thinking while Inuyasha gumbled.
'I can't believe it! I've been trying to become a full demon for years and for Sango it only takes one fucking day! That bitch better like being a youkai! If she doesn't I'll gladly take it away from her!'Inuyasha yelled within the confides of his mind with childish jealousy.
Kagome smack the back of his head with a frown," Inuyasha that's mean to say."
Inuyasha glared at her. "I didn't even say anything!" He yelled with a pissed off look on his face.
Kagome rolled her eyes and sighed, "But you were thinking it."
"And the kimono?" Kaede asked about the kimono they had brought with them for Sango.
"We found it at the end of the futon Sango was sleeping in at the destroyed hut," Kagome said slightly confused as to why Kaede was asking about the kimono. Kaede nodded slowly then sighed coming to a conclusion.
"The kimono you found looks just like the one I saw in the hands of 'The Stone' when I first met her... I can tell you now that Sango wanted it to happen. 'The Stone' says this. She went to a woman named Kanane, who was once priestess and turned herself into a demoness. Kanane used to be a friend of sorts to my sister and well then we were introduced to 'The Stone'. We 'read' from the stone and well... we found out our places in life. There was to be six of us. People in one of the chosen two's life to protect them until another one of us came along and then the one who's turn was over would die. There's only one of us that won't. We were called the Six K's. Only two of us weren't yet born. The first one to take over was Kikyo..." Kaede started but was cut off by Kagome.
"But... technicly she isn't 'dead'..."
"About that... I think that whatever she was supposed to do isn't truly complete. I think that she was supposed to do more for Sango... but I'm not sure what," Kaede said clearly, closing her eyes and nodded her head as she spoke.
"Oh, I see... it's all so odd... who are the others?" Kagome asked, curious.
"Well, then there was Kameko, Sango's mother. Then Kanane and Katsuki, Sango's aunt and uncle. After that it's to be me and last, the one of us who won't die, Kagome..." Kaede trailed off seeing Inuyasha's face twist in confusion.
Kaede shrugged her shoulders. "Don't ask me what she has to do because I don't know." Inuyasha just 'huffed' and closed his eyes in fustration.
"Sango doesn't look to different different. Is she supposed to?" Kagome asked, waving Inuyasha's behavior off.
"Actually, yes. Sango won't look the same when the transformation is completed," Kaede said matter-of-factly.
"AHHh..." A stomach peircing scream stilled the air and ended in a painful screech. Kagome turned and gasped seeing Sango's body layed-out in the grass as she weezed and panted in pain.
"Inuyasha take her inside!" Kagome yelled and instantly Inuyasha was on his feet and rushing towards Sango's fallen form and then taking her to lay in the hut.
"And now... the transformation completes itself," Kaede said as she rushed into the hut to tend to the taijiya.
(At Sesshy's:)
Sesshomaru sat, silently watching the rain fall from his seat by the window. Ranmaru hadn't returned yet and he was impaintently awaiting the news that would change everything.
It was all so strange. He had known this would happen, him having to marry a human wench who Kanane would transform into a demoness, for his whole life. Yet, that didn't help to douse the fire of worry burning within the pits of his being. Thousands of questions were swimming through his mind. Was she weak? That was something he could do without. He needed a woman who could defend herself when he was off in battle. Someone who would demand respect and loyalty. If she could not, he would surely have her killed once Naraku was slain.
Did she already know of him? Had she also known all of her life this would happen? It fustrated Sesshomaru, who was used to having his questions answered right away. Nothing had made him worry like this in his life... except maybe, when he had been with the girl.
Flashback:
Sesshomaru watched her skip through the feild with a wide smile on her face. She was picking flowers again, to make a crown for him. It amused him how happy she was all the time, how obilvious she was of the destruction surounding her.
Looking away from her, he remembered how she was when she fought and slattered the beast who's corpeses were skattered on the feild. So graceful as she savagely ripped at her enemies.
What made her a warrior, he pondered for a moment. It wasn't the fact that she could lift a sword and slay wild demons, any fool with hands and wit could do that. It wasn't the fact that she had been trained to be one for all of her life. It was her smile. She still laughed and played like any child of her age would do. Though she'd seen death, fought it, and watched it take her mother, she still giggled like the innocent. The world hadn't hardened her. And if she stuck around him... it would do more then that. It was destory her.
"Sesshomaru-sama?" Sango questioned his blank face. Shaking his head, Sesshomaru nodded, telling her he'd heard her. "I made a crown for you," Sango smilingly stated and pulled out the crown she'd made out of wild coral blossoms and stuck it atop his head. Sesshomaru just stood and walked by her side, keeping the crown atop his head, and walked towards he village.
"Sango-chan, it is high time that I take you back to your village," Sesshomaru simply stated to her. Sango nodded and just skipped along. She knew what awaited her when she got there and that she would never have times like this with him again. Tht she would remember nothing about him or their time together.
End Flashback:
Sesshomaru sighed and opened the draw on the top-left side of his desk. Slowly, he fingered the cold crown made of wild coral blossoms. He had saved it all this time as a keep sake, froze it and preserved it.
He wondered if she lived, if she would approve of the life he'd made for himself. Of Rin, the girl he'd taken in only because she reminded him so much of Sango.
"Sesshomaru-sama, I have news for you..."
(Back To Kaede's Village:)
"Kagome get me another bucket of water! Inuyasha don't just stand there get those herbs I asked for!" Kaede yelled at the two 'youngings' as she liked to call them. They had moved her back into the hut, with many complaints from Inuyasha about how many extra 'snicky-secret keeping-tajiya-demoness-bitch-pounds' he had to carry. At anyother time it would have been funny to see how Kagome had waited until Sango was safely out of his arms to 'Sit' him as she usually did as an outlet for her ever growing fustration with him and the ever changing world spinning out of control around her.
Kaede had wasted no time in tending to Sango once Inuyasha had put her on the futon. She set quickly to work trying to bring down Sango's ever growing fever. That had been two hours ago. She had brought down Sango's fever once and just when she thought the fever would break she had layed her hand on Sango's forehead and had actually been burned! Then she had tried to get Sango to drink an herbal tea known for reducing fever but that hadn't worked either.
Now, as she tried to give Sango a sponge bath hoping it would help, she finally noticed the scar sitting in the center of her chest. As she watched it she finally noticed how every second it was changing color. Slowly but still she could see it changing hues. She noticed the samething with her hair. It was growing longer and changing shades. She wondered, for a moment, how Sango would look after the transformation was done before going back to bathing Sango's burning body with the cool water.
(Outside:)
Kagome sat, staring into the distance, on the steps of the small hut. She always felt like... she was the center of attention and had never cared to think how it might be if she wasn't. Guys didn't go to flirt with Sango, she wasn't the reincarnation of Kikyo and hadn't been the one to awaken Inuyaha... it was all her. Funny how before Kagome had always hated being the center of attention, but she could only imagine how Sango felt being... the underdog. But now, knowing that they would be trading places, she felt oddly... jealous. Would Inuyasha find Sango more attractive now? Was he the one that Sango was going to mate with?
Inuyasha watched Kagome's face twist and contort thoughtfully. He could feel her uneasiness. He wondered what quesions were flying through her head. He had to admit he had many questions as well. Like who was Sango supposed to mate with? Was it anyone he knew?... Was it Kouga?! Or worse... was it him, himself?! Maybe Kagome was asking the same thing. Maybe she thought that it was going to be him! Well if it was he'd flat out refuse! Sango was a good looking human girl, he'd be the first to admit it but still! There was no way he'd leave Kagome for Sango, who he thought of more like a sister in the first place.
Inuyasha huffed and sat down next to her, pulling her stiff form in his arms and into his chest. She gradually relaxed and let the beat of his heart in unison with her's calm her. They sat there, in silence, as the sun set. The only sounds entering their ears was the breathing of eachother and the beating of their hearts insync.
That was until Kaede came out of the hut with wide eyes...
"It's... done..." She muttered before passing out and falling into Inuyasha's strong arms.

GlowlyInsanity: Hey guys! I know it's been awhile but I've been working on a joint project with my cousins that will never be uploaded on FanFiction because it's an original story. Well anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, it was a little rushed so I'm sorry. And to know what Coral Blossoms and Wild Coral Blossoms are you have to have read REST. It's kind of hard to explain how they look becuase they change every month. But they call it The Flower Without Memory or The Flower of New Beginnings.
Oh, and before anyone asks, does Sesshomaru know the Sango from his child hood and the Sango that's in a group with his brother are the same person, no! He's never taken much notice of older Sango and Sango doesn't have her memories of that time so she's never cared that he didn't pay much attention to her.
