Disclaimer: The crazy boomerang-chan owns none of Inuyasha. Ranko, however popped out from her head one day and almost scared her to death because she was yelling about how she did not have anymore room in her closet to hide all those dead bums. So boomerang-chan does own Ranko, and it is not her fault if Ranko decided to murder someone. Ranko: Bwahaha!!

I updated earlier than I was supposed to!! Yay!

Chapter Six

Spider's Web, Part Two

"Spider silk... "

"What? What's going on Sango?" Kohaku asked. Sango glanced at him.

"I-I don't know... how can this be? I thought I got rid of all those spider demons."

"What?! Spider demons?" Kohaku asked timidly.

Sango nodded. "There were spider demons infesting this park before. I found a very large nest and cleared it out. But... didn't think there were any survivors."

Sango leaned down and plucked at the spider thread. Turning, she began to follow it, Kohaku close at her heels. The string was long, and wound around trees, wove through bushes, and it soon began winding itself together like a web.

Sango stopped in front of two trees that were right next to each other. Between them was spun a large web. And in the web was a bundle wrapped up by even more silk. It was struggling to get out and both could see some reddish brown hair sticking out.

Sango looked around her. There was no sign of the spider demon that had woven this web and she stepped forward. The lump continued to struggle and began to yell out as she drew near.

"Leave...me alone..." the rest was inaudible. Reaching out, Sango began loosening the tight silk that had captured this poor fidgeting creature.

"Sango!!" She turned immediately to see a hissing spider demon advancing on her brother. It wasn't as large as the mother spider demon she had fought off before in the park, but it was still pretty tall. Its eight legs clicked as it observed them.

Kohaku took a stumbling step back. That was the wrong thing to do, and he realized it as the spider demon lunged forward.

Casting around for something to use, Sango's eyes fell upon a broken tree branch. She knew it would not kill the demon, but at least it would bide them some time.

Sango ran in front of Kohaku and stabbed one of the spider demon's many eyes. It screeched loudly and doubled back.

"Kohaku, there's someone stuck in the web. Try and free them while I hold that demon off." Kohaku nodded and ran to the web. The person stuck fast was small, but was moving around wildly now. He began tearing at the silk with his hands. It was a hard task as the silk stuck to his hands.

Sango ran and yanked the shaft of wood out of the demon's eye. It shrilled and stabbed at her with one hairy leg.

"Kyaaaaaaa!" Sango yelled as she jumped away. The leg scraped her shoulder and cut down her chest diagonally. Sango's top began to stain dark with her blood. Breathing ragged, Sango clutched the wood in her hand and ran forward again, teeth clenched in determination.

Jumping as high as she could, she landed heavily upon the spider's back. It buckled under the unexpected weight. Quickly recovering, it began thrashing around, trying to toss her off. Sango stabbed its back repeatedly, holding onto some of its bristly hair on its back.

"Sango!" She looked up and saw Inuyasha with Miroku behind him. As the demon flailed around, she caught a glimpse of Kohaku still tearing futilely away.

"Someone help Kohaku!" Sango yelled, feeling as if her throat was ripping slightly.

Kagome and Ranko came running up from behind Inuyasha and Miroku. Inuyasha was already running to Sango and the spider demon, eager to get into the fight. Miroku was watching, trying to find a way to help.

Kagome pulled Ranko. "Come on! We've got to help Kohaku. The two girls came to Kohaku's side and ripped away at the silk.

A head popped out, shaking silk out of its auburn hair. It was a young demon boy. His eyes widened as he saw the girl fighting on the back of the spider demon.

Inuyasha raised his hands, feeling his claws grow longer. "Exorcising Claws of Steel!!" His claws cut deep into the demon, barely missing Sango by a hair. Sango's breath caught and she toppled off in surprise.

The spider demon cried loudly and split in half. Its body drooped lifeless, with one last whistling hiss.

Miroku rushed over to Sango, who was clutching her chest, face contorted in pain. "Sango! Are you all right?!"

"I-I'm fine... What about..." she stuttered painfully.

"I'm all right." Said Kohaku. Sango looked up. Next to Miroku was Kohaku with the young demon in his arms, Kagome and Ranko standing on her other side.

The little demon jumped out of Kohaku's arms and landed in front of Sango. He had pointed ears and had bright, innocent eyes. His hair was tide up with a dark blue ribbon. His clothes were a shirt decorated with leaves and some dark pants. His bushy tail swished behind him and she knew he was a fix demon.

"I'm sorry," he asid, "You got hurt because of me..." Sango smiled and patted the youkai child's head fondly.

"It's okay." She whispered. He smiled up at her. "What's your name?"

"I'm Shippo."

"Wel, Shippo, we'd better get you back home to your parents, right?" Shippo looked down, sadness filling his eyes.

"Don't have parents anymore... They're dead."

"Oh. I'm sorry."

"S'okay."

"Sango, we'd better get you to the hospital. You've got a serious wound." Miroku said. Sango sighed and with her friends help, slowly stood up.

^ ^ ^

Sango lay in a hospital bed, white surrounding her vision. White bed, white walls, all this white was bugging her. Bandages were wrapped around her shoulder and chest. The doctor had allowed her friends come in, but only one at a time or in pairs. From outside the room, she could hear Inuyasha, Kagome, Ranko, and Miroku talking softly by the door. The kitsune Shippo's voice would pipe up a few times. She could not hear a word of their conversation.

The door opened, and Kohaku came with in with a little girl behind him. She had raven hair tied in a side ponytail, the rest falling around her shoulders. She wore a white and orange checkered dress.

"Hey Sango, feeling better?" Kohaku asked. Sango nodded, smiling at them. The girl blinked at them wide-eyes innocently with curiosity.

"Sango, this is Rin, the girl I told you about I met in the hospital. She's like my best friend now. Rin, this is my big sister Sango."

Rin walked up to Sango and gazed at her. "Sango be Rin's friend too?" Sango's smile grew wider. This little girl was so innocent, obviously unstained and not realizing the dangers all around the demon infested city.

"Of course I'll be your friend, Rin." Rin beamed up at her, lighting up the whole place.

"Yay! Yaaaaaay! Rin be Sango new friend!" Rin danced around the room, dancing and bouncing with youthful energy. Sango thought Rin was a lot like Ranko, like a younger version of her.

Sango smiled warmly and sighed. Her life was turning out much better ever since she moved here. Sango had her Kohaku back, who she thought was dead for so many years. She also had never made so many friends in her life. Now if only... If only her roommate Miroku wasn't such a pervert!

Okay! Done with Spider's Web, Part Two. I was wondering, since Rin's always at the hospital, should I make Sesshomaru a doctor? ^_^ It's sounds kinda strange to me, but I just thought the job would kinda be good for the story. I wanna hear what you all think so I hope you review! And ideas are definitely welcome!!! Because right now, I have no idea what to do for the next chapter. O_O I was thinking for this chapter to make Miroku get a little suspicious of Sango being The Exterminator, but it just didn't turn out that way.
