This is an idea my friend and I thought up. All the names except for
the recognizable ones are made up. This takes place in the past, starting
with a memory from Sango's past, then going to what she never knew
happened. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha -cries- I wish I did, but oh well.
"I don't want another child of mine being put in the line of fire for any demon to kill!" came her mothers voice from the other room.
"But, they are raised, and watched, and taught the ways of the demon exterminators, they are protected just fine." Her father retorted.
"No, my child is not being put in this danger-"
"But, Satori, what about Sango and Kohaku? What of them when they find you've gone?"
Her mother sighed, "Please, take care of them. Don't let them fall into the same fate as my brother. I cannot see any more of this reckless bloodshed. It is driving me insane staying here. I cannot bear to know that we have lost any more members of this village to any demon."
"Satori, please-"
"No, I have already made up my mind. I must go now. Please, take care of Sango and Kohaku, let them live till an old age. Protect them, my love." She walked out the door, quietly, trying not to wake the sleeping children. But only one of them was asleep.
Sango's father threw his arms up and left the room, knowing there was no way of stopping his determined wife. This would be the last time he would ever see her. The last time he would see her, all because he favored helping people, even if it meant putting his life in danger. It was his life, and she knew that. He was the respected leader of the village of demon exterminators. There was no way he could give that up so easily as she could.
Sango watched as both her parents left the room. "Mom's leaving?" she whispered slowly to herself, trying to comprehend what was happening.
Her eyes widened, and she ran after her mother. She couldn't leave!
"Mommy! Mommy!" Sango ran up to her mother, and hugged her kimono tight. Her mother looked at her wide-eyed. "Mommy, where are you going? Don't you love us anymore?"
"Of course I do Sango, and that is why I must go.please, take care of yourself my daughter, and always know that I will love you forever. I must leave here, I hope that someday you will understand why." Satori hugged her barely pregnant stomach, bent town, and kissed her daughter on the forehead. "Be well, my child. I shall keep your soon to be born sibling as such. I hope one day you may see her, when you are both grown up.Goodbye." She stood, and left her teary eyed daughter standing in the night, tears in her eyes as well.

Seven years later Sango lied over her brothers bloodstained body, her own clothes covered with his blood and hers as well.
"I understand why you left now, mother."
* * * Satori left the village of the exterminators for solace in another village, many miles away. It was a rough trip, but when she made it. The villagers, particularly one, welcomed her kindly. Namida was the owner of the inn, and was a kind man of about her age. He was a bit of a pervert, but she didn't mind. Seeing that she had nothing but what she carried with her, he took her in, and let her live in one of the rooms of the inn. He was saddened by her tale, and so strived to make her happy, and was successful. They became very close in the next few months. --A short time after Satori's child is born.-- "Did you have a name in mind for her, Satori?" Namida asked. Satori was feeding her newborn baby daughter, still nameless to the world. "I was thinking of that too.I don't know.what do you think of Rin?" Satori said, looking at her child. "Rin," Namida repeated, "Rin. That's a lovely name, Satori," He put his arm around her shoulder and kissed her forehead. "Rin. Yes, her name will be Rin!" Satori said happily. Rin giggled, and smiled. Her eyes were light, as all babies are when they are born, and her hair was a contrasting dark black. What Satori didn't know at the time, was this child would live a life far from what she expected. Shortly after Rin was born, Satori and Namida exchanged vows and were married. Nearly a year later, Satori gave birth to a son, whom she named Shijo. Satori was very happy with her new life, even though she constantly thought of her first children, she thought it was for the best. Perhaps others may see her way and leave as well. She didn't care anymore, she had found a place where she was loved, and had a great family.
