Recap :
She reached into her own neck to reveal the other half of the yin and yang symbol of half black with white spot in it. She combined both necklace with a small click. The necklace was now a complete circle, it was shining brightly in the dim moonlight. She stared at the necklace, her eyes were dull as she put back the necklace in the proper place of her neck.
'I promise Kohaku, I will avenge you, I'll kill Naraku with my hands. That's a promise that meant not to be broken.'
End Cap:
Kagome yawned loudly as she walked out one of the uninjured hut. Her eyes traveled around her surrounding as she recalled the event of the bloody night.
Flashback :
Inuyasha grunted as he pulled one of the dead villager and put him inside one of the grave. He began covering back the grave with dirt.
"Oh, how long do we suppose to do this annoying thing?", asked Inuyasha as he wiped a roll of sweat on his forehead..
"Until all of the villagers have a proper funeral.", answered Kagome and Miroku were digging the ground deep enough for the grave of the fallen growled and slapped a hand on his forehead. He returned to his duty with a grumble.
Miroku frowned, deep in thought as he spoke out: "Inuyasha, Kagome, there's something that keep bugging me until now.",he said in a tone of seriousness.
"What is it?", Inuyasha replied rudely while glaring at the monk.
"When Naraku killed that miko's little brother I assumed, did you sense her enormous miko power?", asked Miroku.
"Of course I sensed it! I nearly got purified by that damn power!", yelled Inuyasha.
Kagome frowned in thought, and she spoke slowly, "Hey guys, when you're around her do you sense something like demonic?", she asked eyeing both Inuyasha and Miroku."What do you mean Kagome-sama? Of course I can sense it because she always near that cat demon.", answered Miroku."No no baka, I didn't mean her cat but her aura, it is rather demonic", Kagome said. She waited the response of her group but the answer was not as she expected, a train of was rolling in the ground, clutching his stomach in desperate attempt to hold his laugh.
Kagome glared at Inuyasha and spoke rudely, "What's so funny?".Inuyasha managed to answer between his laughter, " Haha Kagome are you crazy or something, she is hahaha fucking a priestess! Why would the hell a priestess has a demonic aura? Hahahaha!"
Kagome glared with all of her might and said threateningly, "Inuyasha..."
Inuyasha stopped his laughter at once and stood with 'panick' sign embedded at his face, "W Wait Kagome!", he shouted with a desperate tone.
Too late...
"Sit!!!", Kagome shouted at the top of her lungs.
'Crash!', Inuyasha's face dug to the ground. He remained there for a few seconds and then he shouted, " What the hell was that for?", he asked/yelled furiously. Kagome crossed her arms and said, " For annoying me."
Miroku spoke next, "But Kagome-sama, I think someone as charming and beautiful as her...."
"No no Miroku seriously! Just try to sense it when you meet her!", shouted a rage Kagome.
"Actually I am thinking about adding her to the group..."
Once again Miroku didn't get to finish his sentence as Inuyasha yelled, "What?!? That's mean having another annoying girl with me? I am fucking won't agree with it!", shouted Inuyasha as he rose from his hole. Kagome has a tick mark appearing on her forehead, 'Annoying Girl???', she thought furiously.
"Inuyasha, listen. She has the Shikon jewel's shards. That's what I assume from Naraku's statement, am I correct?", asked Miroku glancing to Kagome. "Um yeah she has roughly ten or twenty or more of them", answered Kagome.
"Exactly! So do you think she will hand over those shards for us? And another thing, she definitely want to revenge Naraku for what he did to her village, and that's what our main goal isn't it?", asked Miroku, looked rather serious in this matter.
Both the miko and hanyou shut their mouths and nodded at his statement. The monk was right after all....
Kagome then opened her mouth, " But still try to sense her aura whenever you meet her", said her."Yeah yeah we will try to sense a demon inside a miko", said Inuyasha with a mock tone while waving a hand towards her.
Kagome fuming in anger and shouted with all of her might, "SITTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!"
Another loud crash echoed in the night.
"Baka...", muttered Shippo.
End Flashback:
The young miko sighed as she took a walk around the village. The sun was beginning to rise so she could see the village clearly. It was definitely a mess. The hut where she stayed last night was the most good-looked from all of the huts as far as she could see.
She sighed again, 'It must be hard for Sango, she lost all of her precious people in one night including his little brother.", Kagome thought. Suddenly her feet step on something with a 'cling' sound. Kagome quickly glanced at her foot. It was a necklace that the old woman planned on giving her. Her lips twisted into a sad smile as she reached a hand towards the necklace. The necklace was covered in dirt but beneath it she could see the glow that reflected by the early sun. She sighed once more as she tied the necklace around her neck.
She continued her walk and she found a woman kneeling in front of the graves. The woman Kagome assume was Sango was wearing a light pink haori(japanese style top) that has darker pink design around the neck and sleeves. She wore a long green skirt that reached to her mid calves with a pink trim at the end of the material .Her hair was tied into a low ponytail with a white ribbon.
"Thank you for making graves for everyone.", Sango said without turning her head. "Um, there's no need of thanks, beside, it's kinda our job.", said Kagome calmly. But inside she mentally questioning herself, 'Why Kagome, why don't you sense the demonic and evil aura around her anymore??? Her aura was a normal pure and calm like any other priestess!'. Kagome frowned her forehead, her aura was the same as a human now, why did she sense it was a little demonic and evil the first time she met with Sango? Did she sense the demonic aura from her cat since the said cat was nowhere to be seen? Or did she just imagining it because she feared her the first time they met?
Her train of thought was cut when Sango decided to question her, "Why do you go out at a time like this? Even that half-demon and houshi(monk) haven't up yet." Kagome wrecked her brain searching for a suitable and acceptable answer. After all she couldn't just said 'Oh I couldn't sleep because the hut smelled like shit because of the ash and the futon is as hard as steel'. She snapped her head as she found the right answer, "Oh, I just wanted to ask you a question you. Would you like to join us? I mean you could destroy Naraku along with us since our main objective is to gather all of the Shikon shards and destroy Naraku.", Kagome asked nervously.
"Hn", that's all she got for her answer as Sango stood and started to walk outside her village. Kagome followed her silently. Sango stopped just as she reached the end part of the hill(her village was located on a hill). She flopped down into a sitting position, her hands wrapped around her knees as she watched the sun slowly rose. Kagome also sat down beside Sango as her face leaned towards Sango and waited for her answer, "Well?", she questioned once more.
"What are your reasons to kill Naraku?", Sango asked as she looked towards Kagome with her honey-golden orbs. Kagome tapped her chin into a thinking position, "Hm, I wanted to destroy Naraku because of what he has done to my friends. And Naraku has a lot of Shikon shards, I cannot let him has them for his evil purpose."
Sango shifted her eyes as she glanced to her feet, "What has he done to Miroku, Inuyasha, and Shippo anyway?". Kagome was going to answer the question until another voice stopped her in mid breath. "Naraku cursed my family into having an air void which could suck everthing in the right hand and in the end will consume its wielder as well.", spoke Miroku as he continued, "As for Inuyasha....". A loud, brash voice cut him in mid sentence, "Hey! I don't wanna talk about it, so shut your fucking mouth Miroku!", yelled the red clad hanyou, walked towards them and on his shoulder perched Shippo.
"Gomen(sorry) Inuyasha", Miroku said apologetically with a large sweatdrop at the back of his head. Kagome decided to continue her little conversation, "Shippo lost his father by the Thunder Brother and then he started travelling with us.", said Kagome glancing at Shippo with sad eyes.
Miroku coughed to catch everyone attention. When all eyes were directed at him he spoke, "So would you like to join us?", asked him as he looked at the miko at the eyes.
"Wait, that means that you guys have been spying on us?", yelled Kagome.
"Yes we were, in case you got hurt..", said Inuyasha as she glanced towards Sango with cautious eyes"... so will you join us miko? I think it's not a disadvantage for you since we know more about Naraku that you do."
Sango riveted her gaze directly into his eyes and spoke in the usual monotone voice, "Perhaps". The group was a bit confused at her answer 'Is it addressed for the first or the second question?', they thought silently.
Sango continued her sentence, "So your main objectives are to collect all of the Shikon shards and to kill Naraku, right? Since there are no difference in your goal and mine, okay I'll join you."
Kagome jumped high in the air and both she and Shippo yelled, "Yatta!!!". Inuyasha grumbled quietly, "What makes you so happy anyway?".
But suddenly in a flash Miroku was kneeling in front of Sango. He spoke in a calm and serious eyes, "I understand your feeling. I'm glad that you could join us.". Sango spoke with an unreadble expression on her face, "Arigatou houshi-sama. But..." Sango said as she pinched the houshi's right hand, "Watch where your hands going...", she said with a glare. "Aah I do not expect that", Miroku said in a dissapointed tone.
"Geez he's still a pervert", Kagome said while crossing her hands in front of her chest. Shippo nodded his head in agreement, "He's always like that.".
Inuyasha barked out his command, "Okay, what we're waiting for? Let's get going!".
"Wait...", Sango spoke while standing on her feet. "What!?", Inuyasha yelled. Sango however kept the calm posture she has, "I need to go get something". "Then go get it.", Inuyasha said with a calmer voice.
Sango nodded and started pacing back to her village.

Several moments later, she walked out of her village to meet her companions. She has a white leather bag with golden designs on it. It slung over her left shoulder. Her bow and a quiver full of arrows along with a black sheathed sword were placed securely on her back. The sword has wild white fire design on the sheath, its hilt colour was white and made completely from demon's bone with a golden cloth wrapped around it. She still wore her plain outfit consist of pink haori and green skirt. On her shoulder perched Kirara. She was mewing at her in concern. "I'm allright now Kirara. Don't worry.", said Sango in a calm voice. Kirara's face immediatelly changed from concern to a glad one. She was actually still sad because of the dead of her master's brother but she must be strong for her master's goodness sake.

Inuyasha's ears perked up when he heard the sound of footsteps. He lazily turned his head towards his new companion. He stood up and yelled, "Oy, we're leaving now. Move your lazy asses!", barked the hanyou.
Kagome's forehead had a tickmark on it, "Inuyasha..... SITTTTTTTT!!!!!!", she yelled.
The poor hanyou had his head in the ground again.
"Inuyasha, you don't have to be so rude ya know!", Kagome huffed sticking her nose to the sky.
Sango stared at the scene in front of her with a mild curiosity, 'So she has a subduing spell on him, eh?', she thought. Kagome then started dragging Sango, "Come on, let's go!", she shouted loudly. Miroku and Shippo just shook their heads and following both miko.
Inuyasha's body twitched, "Hey, don't leave me! Come back here!", he yelled waving a fist towards the fading bodies of his companions.

Why is Sango has a demonic aura? Why is it suddenly gone? Why am I questionning myself?
