Sango's Memory
Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. Wish I did.

-------------------------------------------------

Everybody stared at Sango. Sango stared back at them, not hostilely but rather cold.

"Sango? Are you all right? Did you get amnesia?" Kagome asked out of concern.

"What's amnesia?" Inuyasha asked loudly.

Kagome had forgotten that they might not know some of her modern day words. "It means when somebody has a loss of memory because of shock, injury, psychological disturbance, or medical disorder," she told patiently.

"Medical disorder? Feh. Kagome, you shouldn't be the one explaining things. People wouldn't understand a word you say," Inuyasha said rudely, crossing his arms and smirked at her.

"Why you! I was just trying to 'help you understand' and you just go and insult me! Can you at least try to be better at being the kind and gentle soul that you are?" she exploded at him.

"Whoever said that I was a kind and gentle soul? Things must be really getting to your brain these days. It might be because you are scared of all the demons and is using me to distract yourself.." Inuyasha said.

Kagome turned beet red. "Inuyasha," Kagome muttered, a glowing look in her eyes.

Inuyasha saw it, and knew what was coming. "Oh no! You aren't!" he started to get up, hands clenched.

"Yes, I will! Sit boy!" Kagome cried.

"Hey! Can you stop abusing your powers over me just because you have it?" Inuyasha said, almost talking into the dirt.

"When you learn how to be a good boy," Kagome answered sweetly. She smiled. "Besides, it's fun!"

"You have fun at my expense of pain?!" Inuyasha asked, incredulous.

"Sango-chan! Where are you going?" Shippo yelled. While everybody's attention had been on the two fighting, she had gotten up and starting to leave. She didn't answer.

Miroku ran after her, and stopped right in front of her.

She stared coldly into his eyes. "Move it, or you'll get cut up into minces," she threatened.

"Sango, you would never do that to me," Miroku sighed.

"I wouldn't?" she asked him, eyes turning yellowish-gold as her lips turned up a bit.

"No, you wouldn't," he answered. He took her hands into his. "Because we are in love!" he announced loud enough for the whole world to hear.

"Really?" Kagome asked and whispered to Inuyasha and Shippo, who were hiding behind bushes along with her, watching the two talk. Just like they always did. "Isn't he stretching the facts too far?"

"Miroku will always be the way he is," Shippo said.

"I mean, there's a possibility that he might actually really love her," she counted that off her fingers.

"Or is just using it to get that girl into his bed while she doesn't have her memories," Inuyasha said.

"And there might also be a chance that Sango loves him back," Kagome said. "But that is very hard to judge on, because of her attitude to him. But when you think about it, doesn't it seem like she gets jealous when Miroku flirts with other girls and propose to them?"

"Yeah," the boys answered.

Sango stared at Miroku with no emotions on her face. She then took her hands out of his with a sharp movement and started to walk again.

"Where is she going?" Kagome asked.

"Surprising. This time it is she who breaks the moment," Shippo said.

"Feh. Why do I even bother hiding behind bushes when I could be dosing off right now?" Inuyasha said, getting up.

"Because you are just as interested in their relationship as we are."

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Why does it feel like they are the kids and I'm the adult?" Shippo asked.

-------------------------------------------------

Miroku was following Sango. But she never looked back, even though she felt it clearly that he was actually following her.

"Sango," Miroku said lightly. "Shouldn't we get back to the others?" Silence. "I mean, it is very dark right now and we can get lost."

"Go back if you want. It doesn't matter to me."

"But Sango, what about yourself?"

"Whatever happens to me is my own problem."

"Sango. You are being really unreasonable." Silence. "Wouldn't you at least consider going back? Even if for just a short while until dawn? I mean, if a demon comes along with a jewel shard, you would most probably get injured pretty badly."

Silence. "You do know what the jewel shards are right? They are pieces of the Shikon no Tama. A stone that has the ability to give anyone incredible powers, and should it get into the wrong hands. It shall bring the worst of chaos into these demon-filled lands."

Sango still wasn't talking. Miroku sighed. "I know that this isn't the very wisest thing to say right now because there can be demons loitering all over the place but, do you at least remember that Kagome is currently the priestess who currently now possess the shikon jewel? Can you at least recall Kohaku?"

Sango stopped and turned stiff.

"Sango? What's wrong?" Miroku asks in concerns.

Sango sits down. She took her shoe off and saw the blood coming out from where a sharp stone had cut her feet.

"Let me see!" Miroku said. He bends down and looks at it.

Sango studied Miroku closely, just as he was doing to her feet. 'Takara. If I am Takara, then who is Sango? Is there a possibility that Sango is me?' she thought. 'Who is this little brother of mine? The one who goes by the name Kohaku?'

"Wh-what are you doing?!" she says as she felt Miroku's arms go about her and picks her up.

"I'm sure that going back to the others is the wisest choice right now. I cannot afford for you to get eaten by demons. Beside your foot is hurt. We wouldn't want to get any worse for walking, now do we?" he asked that with a brilliant smile.

Something clenched in Sango's heart the moment she saw that smile. Blushing, although she does not know why, she turned her head away and mumbles something incoherently.

Miroku caught a few words and smiles. He then picked up her Hiraikotsu. "This is pretty heavy. How are you able to carry it around?"

"How should I know?" she asked him with a glare.

And that was how they went off back. With the silent Takara, or known to those who knows her as 'Sango'.
