Chapter 10
Yesterday & Today
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango walked around her old home, the sun shining through the windows, dust particles glowing, floating, making everything seem like a dream. She looked over to her old dinner table and thought of the stories her father would tell her and Kohaku at dinnertime.
She looked out the window to the back porch where she had told Kohaku that day that their father was very proud of him.
She then stopped at the front door, and looked back into the house. She smiled sweetly, and finally let go of her brother and father.
**Dear friends, so long
I won't forget you
While the meetings go on and on
We embrace the small scars with
Both hands
People going on journeys
Only loiter around gazing at this
Unending world
It's so precious when you have good wishes
Open eyes and see inside of your heart**
Sango walked far out to the cemetery, where they had buried everyone. She stopped at Naraku's grave, set apart from everyone else's. She knelt down on the ground beside it, and a tear slipped from her eye, the last tear she would cry for him. "I will always love you." she prayed to him. She then let him go, as well.
**The sound of the bells called suffering
Calls out the words of a prayer
The passing reality and
The gently sighing tomorrow are
Your everything
We are allowed, don't you think, without confusion
Let's start walking
It's so precious when you have good wishes
Open eyes and see inside of your heart**
As Sango left through the abandoned village's gates, she sighed, feeling content. A part of her life was over, now, and she had friends to return to. She stopped walking and turned around, to gaze at her village one last time. And then, she let the past go, and kept the good memories in special corner of her heart.
"Sango!" Kagome called her name happily. Sango turned around to see all of her friends standing together, waiting for her. The sun shone on each of them individually somehow, and Sango loved them all the more. Kagome, with her cheery demeanor. InuYasha, and his tough-guy front. Miroku. . . Miroku and his sweetness. His kind heart. And finally, Kirara and Shippou, both of them so small and innocent.
Sesshoumaru stood there with them, as well. Sango had forgiven him for everything, and had accepted him into her life.
**People going on journeys
Only loiter around gazing at this
Unending world
My beloved companions, even though I lose power
Let's run past this time period
The people that I love, before long mutually
Shall we bloom in eternity in this city?
And then I, someday, again
I wonder if I will sing, I wonder if I'll go on a journey
la la la la**
**Do As Infinity - "Yesterday & Today," Translated **
Now, all Sango had to do was walk away with her beloved friends, into tomorrow.

Well, how was it?
Guess what - if you guys beg me enough, I have a wonderful, wonderful lemony sequel in mind. . . An Inu/Kag sequel. . . with implied Sess/Kago. . . Sess/Kagura. . . Sango/Miro. . . We'll get to find out what Sesshoumaru's secret is, and the reason why he hated humans for so long. . . We will get to see what InuYasha plans to do with the Shikon no Tama. . . and Kagome finds out something huge about her own existance. . . That is, if you guys beg me enough. ^_~ lol
Review! It's been fun!
