Chapter Ten
Obscured Shadows vs. Fire Betrayal
Sango was walking down the street on a moonless evening with Naraku by her side. This was their second date in one week. Sango, felt bad as if she was hurting Miroku.
She shook her head. 'No way, that hentai doesn't care about me! All he cares for is Akina...'
Sango looked up as she heard some voices and giggling. Out from the shadowed side of the building materialized Akina and Miroku. Akina was laughing as she ran clutching Miroku's arm, encouraging him to follow. Miroku was smiling and jogged after her.
Sango looked away. She was tired of seeing Miroku. Everywhere he went, Akina was always tagging along only a few footsteps away.
She looked down at her feet the rest of the walk home. The only time she raised her face was when Naraku was standing by her in front of door number forty nine, her and Miroku's dorm.
Naraku lifted her chin and pressed his lips to hers. Sango didn't respond and held her breath, wishing suddenly he would just stay away. He bit down harshly on her bottom lip and she shoved him away. Refusing to look him in the eye, Sango walked into the dorm, slamming the door behind her.
Kohaku was sitting at the counter in the kitchen and eating leftovers for dinner. "Konbanwa Sango. What happened to your lip? It's bleeding." He inquired.
Sango licked her lips, wiping away the salty blood. "Oh nothing," she said before walking off to her room.
She looked around her, before doubling back to where Kohaku was. "Hey Kohaku, isn't Miroku back yet?"
"No, he's probably still out with Akina." Kohaku replied.
"Hmm." Sango said more to herself than away. She walked into her room and sat down on the bed next to Kirara who was washing her paws with her tongue.
'Wonder why they're not back yet. I saw them earlier while I was walking with Naraku...'
She remained silent, listening to the night air whistle against the window in her room. The serene silence, however, did not last long.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
Sango stood up, knowing that it would be Ranko who was causing the loud ruckus. But she did not call out 'you bums!' like usual. Instead, her voice sounded panicky and shrieked loudly.
"SANGO! SANGO, KOHAKU! YOU"VE GOT TO SEE THIS!!"
Sango hurtled out of her room and saw Ranko panting in the doorway. Kohaku was holding the door open with a bewildered look on his face.
"Miroku... Demon... attacking him... roof..." Ranko gasped. The happy and hyper spirit had disappeared, but the fire still remained, though concern was filled in her eyes as well.
Sango frowned. 'So that's why he wasn't here earlier!' "Kohaku, go with Ranko. I'll uh... call the police."
Kohaku nodded, understanding what his sister's intentions were. "But..." whispered Ranko. She never got to finish as the usually gentle Kohaku dragged her by the elbow and up to the roof.
Sango really did call the police and then dashed into her room. "Kirara, we've got another demon to take care of." She declared digging through the closet to get her Exterminator clothes. She pulled off the clothes she wore on her date and slipped into the cat-like suit, covering the bottom half of her face with the gas mask. Reaching under her bed, Sango hauled out Hiraikotsu and her katana.
Lastly of all, Sango tied her hair in the signature high ponytail as The Exterminator. Sango let Kirara leap out first when she swung the window open and the neko youkai immediately transformed with an explosion of roars and flames.
"To the roof." Sango yelled leaping upon Kirara's back.
.
"Ugh..." Miroku groaned as the fingers around his neck curled tighter. "Wh- why?" he groaned. He merely received a sneering smirk in return.
"I was awaiting the perfect moment to devour you. You look simply delicious." The once soft voice said that now with a growl of menace.
The demon turned as a loud thud behind her caused the roof to shudder.
"I-it's The Exterminator!" Kagome gasped, crouched down with Kohaku and Ranko.
Sango tightened her grip on Hiraikotsu as she stepped forward. Kirara behind her stalked stealthily, back arched and growls vibrating in her throat.
She took in every detail of the demon. It was a female whose hair was billowing out behind her as a flame. She was wearing human clothes that looked familiar. Sango scrutinized her face.
Sharp green eyes glared back into Sango's and she gasped. 'That fire demon! She is Akina!"
Fury overcame Sango, whether it was because of Miroku, Akina, or herself, she did not know.
"Kyaaaaa! Hiraikotsu!" she yelled, throwing the boomerang at Akina's head.
Miroku's eyes widened as he heard The Exterminator shout. 'That voice, why does it seem so familiar!?'
Akina dropped him and he ducked as the boomerang swooshed over his head. Akina had bounded up, Hiraikotsu barely missing her feet.
Akina stepped away from Miroku who was shivering as he watched the battle. Akina opened her hands and flames crackled to life in her palms.
"Hinotama!" she shrieked as she sent flying large fireballs from her hands. Sango lifted up Hiraikotsu in time as it returned to her, but the air sizzled around her and she began to worry the heat would burn her.
And the forces of the flying fireballs were driving her almost off the roof.
"HIRAIKOTSU!" The boomerang hurtled, cutting through Akina's hinotama attacks.
The Hiraikotsu whizzed by Akina's left side two feet away. "What sort of aim is that, Exterminator?" she scoffed as she watched Hiraikotsu glide by.
"Perfect, that's what!" Sango cried, stabbing her katana through Akina's stomach.
'That's my sister!' Kohaku thought happily. "I get it," said Ranko, "She used the boomerang as a diversion while she went and used her katana."
Sango wrenched her katana out of Akina's gut.
"Hahahaha! Foolish mortal! Do you think that puny sword could finish me off?"
"No..." said Sango as she shoved Akina to the side, "But this will!"
Everyone knows a boomerang always returns, and return it did, slicing right through Akina, tearing her body in half.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH! NOOOO!" she screeched. Sango caught the stained Hiraikotsu, blood splattering all over her.
Sango breathed heavily and turned her head slowly to see her friends watching, not realizing that it was their Sango.
Kagome's eyes were widened as much as they could, in what appeared astonishment. Ranko had her mouth gaping open in awe and Kohaku had a small smile of knowing on his face.
She turned to look at Miroku. His neck was bruised where Akina's fingers had clasped. His eyes were different than before, something Sango had never seen. They were deep, filled with sadness, yet joy at the same time and she did not understand. He lifted a hand to reach out to her, struggling to stand.
Sango turned as a tear glided down her face and off her gas mask, falling as a perfect crystal onto the roof.
Sirens filled the air. "Kirara!" Sango called. Leaping off the roof, she landed upon her back and they flew off to once again hide the shadows of their identities.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hinotama~ It said in this Japanese dictionary it means fireball or falling star. I decided to use that as Akina's attack. I think her being a fire demon just suited her. This chapter was exciting for me to write. I hope to hear from you all soon.

Little Sango-Chan: Kouga's girl huh? I like that gut too. Ha! I had fun writing them kissing. Miroku and Sango, not her and Naraku!!
Kana: Hm, I didn't know he was played by a girl. I don't mind the fact he sounds girly, I actually like the girly looking (or sounding) guys. He's cool!!
Kitai Matsuru: I still like Soujiro he's cool. Oh I wonder, is Naraku gonna be evil here? Kyaha! Wait and see! Really, what do you think? ^_^
Akurei: Hey!! Cool name! Please, please, please X ten million. That's a lot of pleases. Don't worry I'll update!
Sango's-Friend: ACK! Don't attack me with that knife. Oh...eheh. I dunno if I can boil them, can't find a pot big enough to fit them in!!
Anyone read my new one-shot called Meow! I'm sure you'll like it if you're an M/S fan. I particularly liked the ending, but I'm not giving anything away... ^_____^
P.S. I might take longer to update starting next week, maybe, maybe not cuz my Grandma's coming to visit from the Philippines and she makes me do Scrabble and other stuff with her all the time.
