Sango's eyes widened at the sight of dark blood flying from the wound,it's sticky substance spraying the ground.Kohaku pulled back his blood-stained weapon and stood defensively,standing his ground.Naraku knelt to the ground,his back dripping rapidly from the large wound."You..."His cold red eyes turned swiftly to the young boy whose eyes were no longer cloudy with emptimess but bright with life and recognition.Sango wanted to run to Kohaku's aid but was frozen in place.'Why can't I move..! Kohaku!' Naraku regained his balance and sneered towards the young boy."you will pay for that Kohaku..."
Inuyasha was running quickly through the castle until he caught the scent of blood"Naraku..damn it!"He quickened his pace and gripped his Tetsusaiga praying Naraku wouldn't get away.
KOHAKU!"Sangos voice echoed throughout the castle as her eyes widened with horror as Naraku's hand forced it's way through flesh and bones,driving out Kohaku's shard,leaving a gaping hole in his chest through his back.Kohaku's bloody corpse collapsed to the ground,his grip releasing his weapon as his body began to turn to dust.Sango felt tears run down her face but was unable to do anything,paralyzed in place."Damn you!"she called out as Naraku took hold of his shard and turning to Sango. "Dear Sango..I thought you wanted Kohaku to die...as I recall you planned to destroy me in hopes of freeing his cursed soul..."Sango's frozen state vanished and her legs buckled from under her as she collasped to the ground unable to keep herself up."I will destroy you..that's a promise"She lifted her head,her mahogany eyes glistened by tears were also alive with flames as Naraku approached her,he knelt and lifted her by her hair,pulling her eye level with him."We'll see who destroys who"A sharp weapon appeared in his hand and he raised it.
Inuyasha removed the Tetsusaiga from it's sheath and raised it"Get your filthy hands off of her!"He cried as he slammed it against the wind creating the windscar.Naraku threw Sango to the ground and used the weapon as a sheild,creating a barrier."Inuyasha...I never expected you to get here so quickly..."Naraku sneered.Inuyasha jumped protectively in front of Sango"You dirty bastard! You deliberately fooled me just so you could get to Sango...i'm going to kill you!"Inuyasha ran at him and swung the Tetsuaiga only to find Naraku's form emate toxic miasma."Inuyasha..don't be too hasty...you might make the mistake of killing an innocent person...Someone should've warned Kohaku.."Inuyasha's eyes widened and turned to Sango as if confirming the information but wishing it weren't true by the dropping of her head,the hopeless look in her eyes.
After resheathing his sword Inuyasha knelt to Sango's side where she immediatly clung to him,her fingers curling in his haori as she cried into his chest,mourning the loss of her only family she sought to avenge and failed.Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her,pulling her to him tightly and resting his head on hers,as if by doing so he could take her pain away and place it upon himself.
