Chapter 3

Dearest Sango,

I love you dearly and I am so sorry that circumstances are such that we cannot see each other. Everyday I regret that I cannot hold you close to me and let you know how dear you are to me. I regret missing so many of the big parts in your life.

I feel it is only fair that I warn you of a past indiscretion of mine. As I am sure you have heard from you mother, I was not very faithful the year you were conceived and I had another child by another woman. I kept in contact with this woman for several years, but just recently on her death I found out that she gave the child up for adoption when he was young, yes Sango, you have a brother. I have done some research to find out what ever happened to my son, and I believe I have found him. I cannot make contact with him unless he wishes to make contact with me, but I feel it is only right that you know as much about him as I do. His name is Miroku and he lives in your own town. He is your age (17). But I don't know anything else. I just felt that you should know this.

I love you my dearest daughter and hope that some day in the future we can meet. Once again, I love you and I'm sorry that I was a lousy father.

All my love,

Dad.

"Mom, what am I supposed to do?" She couldn't quite believe it was real, "Is this real?"

Her mother put her arms around her in a hug, "I don't know, but your father was unfaithful, it could be."

Sango pushed her mother away and snatched up the letter. "I'm going to Kagome's, I'll be back eventually."

"But darling, you just got back."

"Mom, please don't fight me on this one, I need to go."

"Alright, I understand."

She ran out the door and hopped into the car. By the time she arrived at Kagome's house she was on the verge of tears. She ran up to the door and knocked loudly. "I'm coming I'm coming, Jeesh." She heard coming from somewhere inside the house. "Sango!" Kagome looked at her slightly shocked and concerned. "Come on in, What's wrong? Does it have to do with Miroku? Did he hurt you? I'll kill him if he did." Sango laughed a slightly hysterical at that.

"Yeah, it has to do with Miroku, but it's not what you think. Can we talk in your room, privately?"

"Of course"

"Kagome, dear, who's that at the door?" Mrs. Higurashi called from the kitchen.

"It's Sango, mom!"

Mrs. Higurashi came to the doorway. "Oh, hello Sango. Make yourself at home, you know your always welcome here."

"Thank you, Mrs. Higurashi, you don't know how much that means to me."

Sango and Kagome made their way back to Kagome's room. "Okay, now you have to tell me, what's up?"

"I got a letter from my dad today."

"What did he say? Is that what upset you?" Sango shoved the letter at her friend who read it quickly. "Wow!! You have a brother, that is so cool!"

"God, you are so stupid! Don't you get it? I have a brother. My father has kept this from for my entire life and now he just springs it on me and I SLEPT WITH MIROKU LAST NIGHT!" By the end of her tirade, she had broken into tears.

"You WHAT! Oh my God, you didn't tell me that you were that serious about each other. So was he good?"

"Why did I decide to tell you this? Kagome, didn't you just hear me? Miroku is my brother, last night was incest! It was wrong!" By now Sango was just angry at her father and at Kagome and at the world in general for letting something this awful happen to her.

"Of course I heard you Sango, but don't you get it, I don't want to talk about it. This scares me. If this can happen to you, then it can happen to anybody. I just don't want it to be real. I'm sorry, I know I'm not a good friend."

"Oh Kagome, it's okay, I'm better now, let's talk about something else, like you and Inu-yasha."

Kagome blushed prettily, "I don't know what you're talking about."

And they talked about this and other things for about an hour before Sango decided to go home.

A/N: Being one who didn't find out till they were fifteen that they had a brother I would just like to say that Sango being able to put this aside for the comfort level of her friend is not inconceivable. I would like to say though that Sango might also be strong enough to put aside the whole sleeping with Miroku bit since she is still deep in shock. Please R&R, I think that I'll demand a review before I post the next chapter.
