Star Light, Star Bright. No Wishes Tonight

I want to run..
So far away..
You keep my tied to here..
But maybe…one day…
Chapter: Prologue
I was walking through a quiet town. The town that wasn't destroyed. The town that was nothing but destroyed ruins and grave yards. The town that I once ran through the streets in but now walked silently among the people that spoke no words. There was nothing to say, though. They were moving so fast down the streets, so quietly and blurry. Like they weren't even there. There was nothing beyond them but blackness, but for some reason it all seemed normal. All of it seemed normal until a white figure appeared. Without any reason at all, I recognized the figure. I.. knew who it was yet I didn't. I reached for my boomerang only to find it missing, but for some reason I didn't stress. I didn't yell for help as the figure neared, and I didn't try to move or hide. I just stood there, hand ascended in mid air staring at this creature. This creature who had white fur on the outside, but black hair within.
And that's when, many minutes before, I woke up in a sweaty ball on my straw sofa. I was scared and yet I had nothing to fear. Inu Yasha and Kagome where in their separate rooms not to far from my own sleeping grounds, and Miroku was surely sleeping with Shippo and Kouga near by. I was perfectly protected and safe within both the confines of my walls and friends, but I felt so open. Open like a book. I am Sango, warrior, strong witted and courageous. And yet a simple nightmare had scared all of that away? I should be over this by now. I shouldn't still be scared of Naraku. Not with all these people close by. I shouldn't have fears… my only fears should be that I may not destroy of him. But even then I shouldn't fear that. I should be brave. No, I am brave. I can do this.
I placed my head back on the softness of the couch and just lay in the dark blue colored darkness and stared at the wooden shack we were invited in as sleep slowly, but surely, overtook my already weak from sleep body…

I felt light hit my eyes quickly and it sent a shock through my body. I opened on eye slowly and then squinted for the light bothered it. I noticed Miroku walking around opening the curtains and I sat fully up.
"Miroku-san, what are you doing?" I asked, rubbing my eyes. Now that I think back to it, it seemed odd that I was watching him open the curtains but asked what he was doing, although it was more of a 'why' he was doing it. His answer, though, landed among neither of these terms.
"Kirara stepped outside for water." He said nothing else, and I was surprised. I figured he'd ask if I could bear his children, but I suppose he has stopped doing that. I am quite please with his new personality. I want to say its more mature, but it seems more so bossy like. I don't know why, and I refuse to try and explain. You don't need my explanation any more then I need to give it. I noticed my boomerang in the middle of the floor, just laying there. Was I that careless? Surely not. But I suppose last night was an exception as I was awfully tired. Miroku went into the other room for food I'm guessing as it was a kitchen, and I was left to stretch. It felt good to stretch, especially after you wake up. Kirara then walked back in and jumped onto the couch.
Perfect timing. I thought as I finished stretching and was able to pet her furry head. She purred slightly and nuzzled up alongside me.
And that was when I heard the knock on the door. The knock that would lead to Miroku opening it, and the most prettiest wench to step inside. And that was how life for me went from fairly good to a down spiral to hell. Oh how could life be so cruel? No wait.. how could this wench be so cruel?

(Hoping to have the next chapter out before the end of the weekend. But I am also writing a Zoids and Trigun story so who knows…)
