Hello everyone! So, thank you so much for your reviews (both from fanfiction and Tumblr) and favourites and follows! Since there seems interest in this story, I decided to continue it. Sorry about the grammar, everyone makes mistakes, I'll try to make it readable and still enjoyable.

I'll maybe update it weekly? We'll see how busy I am, I won't make any promises. THANK YOU FOR GIVING THE STORY A TRY.

Also, the summary has been updated.


Chapter 2: Love is blind?

"I'm sure you and Narumi will get along better once you get to know each other." Kohaku said in a reassuring yet nervous voice to his sister.

"I've heard enough from her to know she hates demons as much as she hates people affiliated with demons. Such as me and my family. It's a wonder she and her family haven't kicked you out of the village yet." Sango replied bitterly gently stroking Kirara's fur.

"Well, despite her hatred towards demons, she really loves me…"

"Is that why you stopped taking Kirara to your training? To change this girl's opinion on you?" Sango asked harshly.

"Well, no, I mean, well, YES!" Kohaku snapped the last word. "Her family would have never even given me a chance to be with her, yet move in their village. I didn't have a choice."

"Yes, you had, you could have always moved with us, come live in our village. Our village doesn't have a problem with living with demons." Sango stood up, gently moving Kirara aside and stared into her brother's heated eyes. Kohaku starred back ready to defend his ground.

"You already had a family, I wanted to make my own and you're missing the point. I. . And whether she likes demons or not won't affect my love for her."

"I already knew you were head over hills for her, but I didn't know she hated demons. What was the point in calling us here knowing something we didn't?!"

"I told you she doesn't like demons. She and her family wanted to give you a chance and see how demon slayers can live with demons, but obviously, this didn't work out as we planned."

"Hate and like are different words, Kohaku. And what do you mean a chance?! The demon slayers from the village surrounded us long before we reached the village and escorted us with swords there!" Sango shouted annoyed.

"It was a misunderstanding which we clarified as soon as you arrived."

"Misunderstanding?!" Sango snorted. "Is that what you thought it was?! Come on Kohaku, you're not dumb. You told them your sister with her husband and three children are coming accompanied by a demon. How many families with three small children and a demon pass by?! And the family also happens to have a demon slayer and a monk in. The least they could have done was confuse me with being part of the village due to my outfit!"

"I, oh, well, they've been in high alert, Narumi said they've been having spies back and forth between villages and they've been on high alert."

"Kohaku, you don't mean to tell me spies travel in families?"

"How would I know that?! Maybe…" Kohaku said sheepish suddenly looking at his feet.

"Kohaku stop, you know what you're saying makes no sense. And even if it would, how could you explain the dinner moment when they poisoned Kirara in front of us? Kirara was just eating, when all of a sudden, Narumi's father rose from the table with this weird powder and threw it in her direction. If the twins wouldn't have been running in front of her at that moment, Kirara could have been poisoned, never mind that my own kids could have been in danger. Thank goodness the powder is only harmful for demons!" Sango said furious, yet with a visible worry in her voice.

"I..I…I really didn't get a chance to talk with Narumi about that episode. I'm honestly glad the powder was only meant for demons. I'm…" Kohaku put his hands on his head and sighed. "Look Sango, I've never seen them act like this before. I mean, I do go on slaying missions with them and I know they're ruthless and merciless towards demons, but I didn't expect them to do something to my family. I'm truly sorry and I'll go ask Narumi about this. She loves me and I'm sure she'll clarify the situation." Kohaku turned around and was about to leave, but then he stopped and looked at Kirara. "I'm sorry…" Then he left because part of him knew his sister was right and he didn't have anything else to say not to make him look stupid.

Sango huffed annoyed and bit back her lip to stop the tears from falling. She had a bad feeling about this village. The kind of feeling she had when there were demons coming. Yet, those were definitely humans and very skilled slayers, but their presence made her uneasy.

She returned to the little campfire which was just outside the village where Miroku was guarding the sleeping kids. They've been pretty clueless about the whole situation and Miroku and Sango tried to maintain the situation this way. The last thing they needed was scared toddlers.

"Kohaku is so in love with this girl, that he doesn't make sense, nor understands the situation properly! He keeps on saying…"

"Sango my dear, you were at not even ten steps distance, I heard everything. I'm as upset as you are."

"Do you think we made the wrong decision about preferring to stay out here rather than inside the village in Kohaku's hut? I mean, I know it's summer and it's rather warm outside but…" Sango asked while looking at her children tugged under the extra blankets they brought.

"Not at all. When you stood up and said you're not letting Kirara outside the village by herself knowing what intentions those people have towards demons I fully supported you and joined you for your sake and Kirara's as much as for our children's. I don't like those villagers. Their aura seems dark, full of vengeance, yet, I am sure they are not controlled by a demon. It's their pure will."

"I feel the same. And thank you."

They looked hands and shared a kiss. Then they sat in silence thinking about their home and their friends. As if on cue, a familiar shadow appeared out of the nowhere, almost scaring them both.

"Koga?!"

Two other shadows appeared revealing his loyal friends.

"Shhh! We're too close, follow me!" Koga told them in a whisper.

"How do we know you're not some kind of disguised demon?" Miroku asked trying to read Koga's demonic aura, yet falling for some strange reason.

"I used to love and court Kagome. I fought with Inuyasha over a bag of chips which are from Kagome's strange world. Kagura slayed my old comrades and framed Inuyasha for it. Pick one, let's go, hurry." Koga said rolling his eyes, yet his voice wavered upon pronouncing Inuyasha and Kagome's names.

Miroku and Sango exchange a look and decided to believe this was indeed Koga. Kirara transformed and they placed the kids on her and followed Koga deeper into the woods.

"How come we didn't feel your presence?" Miroku asked still edgy about that.

"I learnt how to hide my aura. Plus, I got some magical talisman that helps me keep it hidden. I came to save you from this demon slayer village. We got to get away and fast. Not sure until the next patrols come, so let's move faster."

"What happened to the existing patrol?" Sango asked.

"We killed them." Hakkaku replied.

"WHAT?!"

"We can run and talk, FASTER!"

"Why did you kill those humans? And wait, my brother is still there, I can't just leave him."

"You have your family to worry and I'm sure he'll be fine, they only have a problem with demons. And about the killing part, we're past the knock down or hit and run part. It's killed or be killed."

"There must be another way." Sango argued and Miroku agreed.

"You wouldn't be saying this if you would know what I found out." Koga said in a low trembling voice, but managed to control his emotions. "You should thank your little fox friend, he's the reason I came to help you in case you were wondering how I knew about you."

"Shippo? How did you get into Shippo?" Sango asked.

Koga finally stopped and for the first time since they saw him, he finally seemed to relax, happy with the distance they put between them and the village.

"He came to us because he wasn't sure where the location of the village you went was. From his description, however we were able to identify it. There aren't that many demon slayers only villages at only two or less days of walking or well, in your case, some flying."

"So, Shippo was searching for us? Why? Did something happen?"

As the first light of sun broke, Miroku and Sango finally saw Koga's features better. His serious face seemed restrained as he was trying to control some hidden emotion. Yet, the traces of tears or dried tears were obvious. His fist kept clenching and unclenching.

"The fox demon came to our den sobbing uncontrollably. He asked for you two and asked for help to find you two and when we figured where you were and told him about those demon killers he started sobbing worse about how he's about to lose his other family too."

Sango started to shake and her eyes went wide. Her hand reached for Miroku, who also started to look pale.

"Koga, what happened?"

Koga looked into the sun's direction, trying to make the tears that started rolling down his cheeks fake. But by this point, everyone knew it was a failed attempt. Even himself.

"They killed them. The villagers killed Kagome and Inuyasha. The hut's been burnt down and their blood's smell is everywhere, yet it disappears any further from the hut, which means they didn't escape. I went after the people who've done it following their scent and that's when I discovered they were from the village. I wanted to kill them, but it seems Inuyasha's brother was there first and finished them off. Apparently, the girl he used to travel with was with Inuyasha and Kagome and they killed her too, so he probably killed them for that. I checked myself, but our friends probably burnt with the house, there's no trace left other than the sword and fading scents. They're gone…."
