The next day, despite having arrived late to Kaede's, Sango rose early. Assured that no one else was awake yet, Sango crept from the hut. Unknown to her, hanyou senses followed her every move.
"I don't understand why this decision is so hard. Kohaku doesn't even remember that I'm his sister thanks to Naraku. Even after we finally defeated Naraku, his memories didn't return." Sango recalled the cold, blank eyes she'd seen as her beloved little brother had faded away into the smoke and chaos of the battle's aftermath.
"But he's still my brother. I love him with a love that no one else could ever share. I'm sure that even without his old memories we could still be a family. And I wouldn't have to worry about Kohaku going insane because of the memories of what he did to father and the other exterminators." Sango mentally fingered the large scar that was spread across her back. She reflected on all of this for awhile. She finally sighed and buried her face in her lap. Hugging her knees, Sango felt tears begin to fill her eyes. She gave a weak laugh.
"Would you look at me. I can make split second decisions in a fight, but give me time to think and I don't know what to do. Maybe I'm just being selfish. I mean, Kohaku has no memory of who I am. Maybe he's happier without me. Perhaps I just need him more than he needs me. I just want him to be happy and taken care of." She had been contemplating all this for awhile now. Sango wanted to reflect on the problem further, but she didn't want her friends to come looking for her. She stood up and made her way back to the village, while hidden eyes watched her.
Sango arrived back at Kaede's hut just as Kaede was finishing preparing the group some breakfast. She gave little heed to it, but she noticed that Inuyasha was not among the group. He arrived only a few minutes after her though. He sat down next to Kagome and accepted the proffered bowl of food from Kaede.
"Inuyasha where'd you go before?" questioned Kagome.
"Nowhere. It's none of your business."
"Well, it took you quite a long time to get to nowhere and back," said Shippo.
"Shut up. I said it wasn't any of your business runt!" shouted Inuyasha. "Ow! Who just pulled my hair?!" He turned around and saw Kagome trying her hardest to get a leaf out from deep in his hair.
"I did. I'm just trying to get a leaf out. Why are you so testy this morning? Didn't you sleep well?" said Kagome. The rest of the morning consisted of Kagome and Shippo ganging up with each other to argue with Inuyasha. Sango sat and watcher. She was amused by the antics of her "foster family". Thinking of family sent her back to her thoughts of Kohaku again however. Miroku, who had remained silent thus far, watched Sango. He studied her, though for once not in the lecherous manner. He saw the pain and sadness in her eyes, and he felt compelled to try and help her with what he knew to be her problem.
