A/N: sorry for the delay you probably don't want to hear excuses but I had a good reason. Mom grounded me for getting bad grades. She caught me on the internet and confiscated my disks. Didn't get then back until now. Anyway thought I should put a bit more to the last chapter and put some M/S fluff! I love it when they blush! I also have the next chapter just waiting for more reviews. T_T I'm sorry if that sounds greedy!! But I love reading them! I've even read the stories of those who sign them! I have so say that you should check a lot of them out! Okay anywayz you ppl probably want me to shut up ^_^ so on to the story.

Chapter 12: past memories present moments.

Kagome wanted to go home. All she wanted was to escape the little problem in the back of her head. The boys, protective enough, had become too over-bearing. They were treating them like children. What scared her most was in the letter. She couldn't forget it. It wasn't the letter but the feeling. Like an itch that couldn't be scratch, it was driving her mad. "Ugh, this day won't end." Inuyasha, though, seemed normal with his ears twitching every way. She giggled, momentarily forgetting her problems. Those ears were so kawaii! He had held her hand securely scared she would be taken away. Not when she was with him would he let anyone hurt her. When he would truly admit it he didn't know, but for now having to keep these annoyances away from her was his duty.

Sango was feeling a little different from annoyance. She was terrified. It finally came. He finally came. Everyone but Sango had no idea who these people were. 'How did he find me?'

**flashback**

A young Sango ran through the night trying to escape her pursuer. Her father had brought her along for her first extermination. After defeating the demon, the exterminators went to rest in a local inn. The young girl had left to explore the village. When she reached the end she decided to head back. Suddenly a hand caught her wrist.

"Hello. You're a pretty little girl."

The voice was rough to Sango's ears.

"So what's your name angel?"

Sango knew better and didn't answer, instead she thought of ideas to get her out of here.

"Don't talk huh? Well I'll just call you my little angel for now. I have ways to get you to talk."

The man started laughing. Sango tried to pull away but he just pulled her closer. Sango then took out her small dagger hidden in her sleeve. "Leave me alone!" With that Sango ran leaving the man tending to his sliced cheek. Sango could hear him laughing in the distance. "Think you can escape me? Don't worry angel, I'll find you." Sango ran as fast as she could. She knew he was running after her. She couldn't see the inn so she slammed into what seemed a temple of some sort. There Sango curled up and cried. "Hello? Who's there?" Sango stopped. She didn't want to go back out there. She saw the light come closer. Holding the light was a small boy. Dressed in black and purple robes he slowly walked up to her. "Please don't cry." Sango was about to ask his name when he heard a rustle outside. The two kids silently looked outside to see the man walking towards them. Hearing Sango whimpered the boy whispered, "Don't worry, go hide on the shadow." As soon as the young girl covered herself the man walked in. "May I help you?" the boy asked the man. "Yes I'm looking for my niece, she wanted to play hide an' seek but I can't seem to find her, he he." "I'm sorry but no ones come here this night." "Thanks if you see her please find me," the man looked around the room. Sango almost gasped when he looked straight at her. Then he left. "Thank you." Sango looked towards the boy who just smiled. "Do you know where the inn is? I got lost." The boy just smiled, "of course, I'll show you," "Why are you here anyways?" The boy then stepped in front of her with a prideful stance, "I'm being trained to become a monk" Sango smiled for the first time that night, "Yeah? Well, I'm becoming a demon exterminator like my daddy! He killed that demon today!" They talked as he safely lead her back to the inn, careful of the man. As they reached the door, Sango gave the boy a smile, "Thank you," "It's nothing, but I think I deserve a reward!" the girl then gave him a peck on the cheek. The boy blushed. "Goodnight," "night."

**end flashback**

That boy was kind but she never saw him again. (A/n: or did she?) She almost wished he was here. She looked up to see Miroku looking around for possible assaulters. She smiled, 'Miroku reminds me of him.' Miroku noticed her staring, "Is something wrong?" Sango shook her head, "No, not with you guys guarding us," "It's nothing, but I for one think I'm in deserving of a reward." The monk chuckled, but stopped when she gave him a peck on the cheek. "Let's get going," with that Miroku smiled and lead his charged towards the rest of the group.

A/N: I put more M/S fluff but the others will come more. The maid's outfit will come soon so don't worry. I got the next chapter but I want some feedback or suggestions. I don't like flames but constructive criticism is accepted. Thanks again!!
