Not All Is Ever Lost

**Flashback** "Sango! Watch out!" Awaking from the trance by Kagome's shriek, I looked up in time to find a horde of youkais hurtling myway. Shouting, "Hiraikotsu!" I threw the huge bone-made boomerang at the lot, destroying 20 of them at the least. But as much as I hated to admit, I was outnumbered by the youkai horde, there were just too many of them for me to handle. Endless, was the amount of youkai, but I kept on throwing my weapon with as much strength I had left. Still, their number did not seem to decrease.

That was when she saw them.

The creep, Naraku, hovering 20 feet above ground level, was dangling my brother by the neck. Kohaku's eyes showed no emotion, it hid the remaining human feeling behind its barrier. Hissing, I was about to slice the damned 'thing', Naraku, into as much pieces as I could, when the lingering light began to fade from my brother's eye. Ever so slowly, Naraku started pulling the Shikon no Tama shard from its place on Kohaku's shoulder.

"Ku ku ku. human emotions. so pathetic. You will suffer. again." With that, he swiftly removed the shard, letting the corpse plummet to the ground. Before the distressed girl could react, like a coward he was, he shot up into the sky to safety. Not realizing that the bunch of youkai, who were waiting for Naraku's departure, were shooting towards her, cackling madly, she stood still, though barely holding the ground, unmoving, body numb from shock.

If some one could explain how to solve the spacing problem, could you please tell me? I tried to figure it out, but I can't. big thanks to those who reviewed: Destiny's Angel, Karen10, Dante Gemini, SM together. Oh well, R/R!!
