Knock-knock

Inuyasha stood at the door impatiently waiting for someone to open the door. He was going to get to the bottom of Sango's disappearance even if it cost him his life. A few minutes later a young boy answered the door. He looked remarkably like Sango. He yawned and scratched his eyes, his voice trying to mask his tiredness.

"Who are you? What do you want?" The young boy asked.

"My name's Inuyasha...Are you Sango's brother by any chance?"

The young boy nodded. "Yes, my name is Kohaku."

"Do you know anything about Sango's disappearance?"

Kohaku yawned once again. "Look, can this wait until morning? The sun's not even out yet."

"This is the only time I could sneak out of the house, now if you want your sister back I suggest you tell me what you know."

Kohaku sighed and motioned for Inuyasha to come in. The house was small, yet homely. From the door, the right side of the house was the living room decorated with small items such as vases and potteries. To the left was the small kitchen. It looked plain and simple. In the middle was a set of stairs leading to the bedrooms.

Kohaku lit a small lantern and lead Inuyasha into the living room. As soon as both sat down on the couch Inuyasha started inquiring.

"Now, what happened on the night Sango disappeared?"

Kohaku scratched his head. "I'm not sure, I guess she got up and left the house for some reason."

"And you have no idea where she could gone to?"

Kohaku yawned once again. "Well, there's two places she likes to go to. There's a spot down by the river we used to play and there's the library. She likes the old book smell." Inuyasha placed his hand underneath his chin, thinking about what Kohaku had said.

"Hm, thank you Kohaku." Inuyasha stood up and swiftly left the house, leaving Kohaku in a daze.

"Um...ok then."

20 minutes later

Inuyasha stood near the river. The sun was about to come up and it made the vista in the area remarkbly beautiful and peaceful. Inuyasha inhaled deeply and looked around the area, hoping to find some clue to Sango's disappearance. He noticed some strange markings on the ground as he knelt down and examined it. It looked like someone was dragged but the trail was short, most likely the person was picked up. Inuyasha looked up and noticed a person wearing a dark outfit with a hood over their head walking.

"HEY YOU!" Inuyasha bellowed. The person looked at Inuyasha and started running. "Hey wait a minute!" Inuyasha sprinted after the person. The chase was short but exhuasting, eventually Inuyasha caught up with the person and tackled them.

"P-Please, let me g-go. I-I'll give you whatever you want." The person begged. From the voice, it was obviously a man.

"Not until you tell me what you're doing out here. Are you behind Sango's disappearance?"

"N-n-noo! I swear!"

"Then tell me what you're doing out here." Inuyasha growled. The man gulped and looked around nervously.

"I'm not allowed to state my bus-" Inuyasha interupted him. "I don't give a flying stick about what you're allowed to do, I want answers so you better tell me." Inuyasha stood up and lifted the man up by his collar as he raised his fist and forcibly cracked his knuckled in his face. "So you either tell me or I can beat the answers out of you. What's your choice?"

The started shaking violently. "A-Alright, M-My master sent me out here to.. to take care of his woman."

"Who's your master?"

"Um..I doubt you know him..sir.."

Inuyasha crinkled his nose before pulling the hood off of the man. He realized that it was one of the servants that work in his house, one of Sesshomaru's favorite servants in fact.

"You..You're working with Sesshomaru aren't you? He's behind all this isn't he?" He raised a fist to punch the man.

"Sir please! Let me down and I promise to explain everything to you."

Meanwhile

Sango opened her eyes slowly. It was dark, damp, and cold. She guessed that it was morning. Ever since she was thrown in this place she never knew what time of day it was. She sat up on the bed and tugged at her shackles on her foot that were connected to the bed. Sesshomaru made sure she was unable to run away.

Sango rubbed her growling stomach. 'I'm so damn hungry, tired, and fustrated. Why does this have to happen to me? I should have never taken the job in the first place! I was better off being poor." As if on cue, the door opened. Sango was astonished when she saw that it was Inuyasha. She wanted to cry but she was too tired to even think about it.

"Inuyasha! What are you doing here? How did you find me?"

"I'll explain later. Let's get you out of here." Inuyasha hurried over to Sango's shackles and broke them with his bare hands like they were pieces of chalk. He picked up Sango bridal style and hurried out of the hut. He stopped briefly and nodded at the servant standing outside the door. The servant bowed and watched Inuyasha and Sango disappear out of sight.

After a few minutes of running Sango started getting curious.

"Where are we going?"

Inuyasha shrugged. "I don't know. Hopefully somewhere away from this awful town."

"Inuyasha, stop."

He suddenly stopped running, allowing Sango to jump out of his arms. She smiled softlly before looking at the ground. "What will we do? Sesshomaru will just lock me up again.."

"No he won't. I know he was gonna court you, but I'm not going to let that happen." Inuyasha suddenly grabbed Sango's hand and looked into her chocolate eyes. "We'll run away together. Start a new life in a new town. Hell we could go to another continent if you want. And..we could..marry."

Sango was stunned. Speechless infact. All she could do was nod. Inuyasha smiled. "I know the perfect town. It's called Aeneus Regnus. Used to be owned by Romans. I've been there before. There's a priestess and monk there named Kagome and Miroku. But be wary of the monk. He's a little too friendly.."

Sango laughed softly and smiled brightly. "Well what are we waiting for? I need to go home so I can get packing." She grabbed Inuyasha's hand and started running together as they smiled the whole way. Little did they know...

Sesshomaru stared at the servant as they stood outside of the small hut. The servant was obviously shaking but Sesshomaru remained emotionless.

"So..you're telling me that Inuyasha freed her?" Sesshomaru said in a monotone.

"Y-Yes sir..I'm awfully sorry..but he's so hot-headed!"

Sesshomaru tapped his chin. "I suppose I could just kill them both. They'll probably head to her house..I'll meet them there." Sesshomaru pulled out a smooth, shiny sword with a blue handle made of a rough yet soft fabric. "I'll just save myself, and my dad, the trouble and end it all."

I'm sorry for the long wait but I've been having so many computer problems. First the Internet stops working, then my computer cord stops working and..yea xD Hope you enjoyed the chapter.

Fun Fact: Aeneus Regnus is Latin for "Kingdom made out of bronze" or simply "The bronze kingdom"
