How Ningen-Youkai got together. When Kagome started liking Inuyasha. Everything before, after and in between! So this fic will be more descriptive and eventful and longer than Silver Rain. Enjoy! ^_^

Chapter Two: Uncagable Bird
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To Sango, he had been just another guy in her class. He was smart, charming, had sense of humor. Pretty much the perfect guy for a girl waiting for her knight in shining armor. But Sango hadn't been waiting for her knight. She was the bird hunted by the nights, but never caught. The impossible prize, sought by many. She was a bird no one was capable of changing. That had been before him.
Sango had always carried a strong spirit and the will to fight. A guy like him usually went after passive types, ones that were easy to manipulate. Though she was often shy, Sango was certainly not passive. For some reason, he thought he could make her bend to his will. Maybe he wanted a challenge.
It had started with flowers and flattery, but had come to bruises and tears. When she realized this was not what she wanted, it was too late.
She wanted him to see that she was his equal. She felt like a mule. He wanted her to succumb to his every whim, but she held on dearly to her will and spirit. Though no matter how strong her grip was, she felt her strong mind and body slipping away.
It was a cruel game he played. He knew she could fight back, so he wore her down instead. When she couldn't sustain her defenses, he attacked. She always fought him though. No matter what her situation was. She attempted to make him realize what he was doing, but nothing worked. There was only one thing left to do without help.
"We're done."
Sango never would have thought those words would be so effective. Just her luck that it didn't quite work in her favor. It had been over a month since she broke up with him. Now she was being stalked. She was afraid of being alone, so she made sure she was always in a crowd.
This new stress was starting to take it's toll. She was worn out and lacked sleep. For once her day was free of the wretched Akuyo. She collapsed on the couch as she returned home from school.
Sango covered her face with her hands. She couldn't do this anymore. Her brother, Kohaku, was constantly in and out of the hospital since his leukemia and asthma had gotten worse. She was always looking out for Akuyo. Her parents were never home because of work or Kohaku. School seemed to be against her as well.
A Siamese cat hopped onto the couch, rubbing into the crook of her neck. Sango cuddled the cat in her arms. She gave a tearful smile. She sighed as the cat hopped out of her arms.
"You'd think Kohaku could put his medicine, huh Kirara?" she asked the cat as she picked up her brother's pills off the table. She placed them in the mirror cabinet, slicing her finger on the sharp corner.
She opened the cupboard, her cut finger leaving bloody prints on the glass. She cleaned the cut and covered it with a bandage. Wow. Something not caused by Akuyo. God there had to be something to make her forget him and get rid of him for good.
---
Sango dumped a box of papers on the living room floor as she sifted through them. There was a program her health teacher had given her in ninth grade. Now if she could just find it.
Her ears perked as she heard her parents open the front door. They looked at her in question. Sango had to admit it must look strange how she was. Her hair all strewn about, papers scattered all over the floor, and her wearing a look of triumph.
"Hey Mom. Dad. Um, we need to talk."
---
"Sango?" Miroku tapped on her forehead.
"Wha-what?" Sango snatched his hand away from her face.
Miroku had been giving her a tour of the campus. Her mind had wandered as a happy couple walked past her. It made her think of her relationship and how miserable it had been. How she had to drop out of college for the rest of the year and attend therapy. Then Kohaku got into an incident while testing, leaving him with amnesia.
Now she was starting all over. New college. New location. Clean slate. No friends. Boy, she was hopeless. Oh well. Things would change. Life would improve, hopefully. All she had to do now is not fall in love again.

Sorry! Short chapter. But what do you think. Now things are going to get in depth. Just be patient. I hope to have chapter three tomorrow or the day after. Hang tight! Kobanwa!
