Disclaimer: WAH!!! I don't own the Inuyasha character! I want to though!
All I own is the plot, and I think a lot of people want to kill me because
of the last chapter! Oh well. All is to be expected.
Author's note: Hi everybody! I learned the italics weren't working too well, so I'll put Kagome's thoughts in slashes (//////). It's still in her POV, and ...yeah. Thank you, my loyal reviewers!
To the Reviewers!!
Supporters of Shippo's death (a.k.a. Rin and Reese): I guess not everyone's depressed by the death of Shippo. Only you two though.
Shippo fans that want to kill me: Um... Sorry. If you want to get technical, though, Naraku was the one that killed him. Not me.
Naraku: What? Hey! You made me!
Reaka: But you did it anyway!
Naraku: Bitch.
(Shippo's fans chase Naraku everywhere until he's beaten to a pulp)
Naraku: HELP!!!
Hehehehe. Anyway! On with Chapter 3!
Chapter 3- Sibling's Love
I don't know how long we stayed by Shippo's dead body. His loss had seemed to wound us deeply. It was Sango who brought us out of our trance.
"Come on guys. Let's go." She said sadly. "Shipp's not coming back. The best we can do for him is get rid of Naraku."
We stood up and said our last good-byes to Shippo. Then we walked away from him. I looked at Sango sadly.
/You'd seen so many of your close friends, and even your family, die right before your eyes. And now this? Sango, hold on./
"Why Shippo?" Miroku asked, breaking the silence. "Shippo had not been deceived by Naraku in any way. Why?"
"Because he knew it would wound us." Inuyasha answered. "He knew he was there. Since he was the smallest, he killed him first."
"Could this be a way to tear us all apart? To separate us?" I asked.
"He'd have to kill us all for that to happen." Sango said.
Kilala's ears perked up, and she darted deeper in the forest. Alarmed, we raced after her. What we found scared us. Kagura stood there with Kohaku at her side.
"Kagura!" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"And Kohaku!" Sango chimed in.
/Is he under Naraku's mind control? He has to be if he's with Kagura./
"Why are you bringing Kohaku into this?!" Sango demanded.
"So you finally decide to walk away from that dead brat's body." Kagura said.
"How dare you insult Shippo like that!" Inuyasha growled.
Kagura laughed.
"Calm down, Inuyasha," she said, "can't have you act like that when Kohaku kills you."
"What? You bastard!" Sango cursed.
"It gets better." Kagura continued. "It won't stop until he's dead, or he's killed Sango. Let's see how many of you will live until then."
/He's putting Kohaku and Sango against each other again! He must be desperate for his jewel shard./
"Listen to me," Sango said, "leave Kohaku to me. I don't want any of you to get hurt because of it."
"What about you?" Miroku asked.
"I'll keep Kohaku distracted," she answered, "you just escape."
"No!" I exclaimed. "We're staying right with you Sango, even if it we die because of it!"
Sango and Kohaku stood facing each other, ready for a battle that could end their lives. Kohaku's weapon flew towards Sango, but she drew her sword and caught it. Kohaku pulled at it, throwing Sango to the ground. He ran towards her to try to kill her, but she kicked him away.
"Kohaku, wake up!" she exclaimed. "It's me! Sango! Don't you remember?"
But he just stood there, stolid. Again, he raised his weapon. And again, he flung it at her. She jumped away, but she was not quick enough. The blade cut across her right hip as it came back to him.
"Why doesn't she fight back?" Inuyasha asked.
"Not everyone fights with their siblings, Inuyasha," Miroku answered. " Some people have pleasant relationships with them."
Sango stood up, one hand at her hip. Blood stained her hand. She stared at Kohaku. He went for her, and this time, he got her heart. She stared, wide- eyed, then started to fall.
"And now, I shall have your head," Kohaku said coldly. He threw his weapon, and it flew towards her neck.
"SANGO!"
Miroku ran and knocked it away with his staff. It cut across him as he hit it. Kohaku stared as it came back to him and didn't bother to stop it from stabbing him in the neck. His eyes cleared, and he was just how Sango knew him.
"Sango," he whispered. He fell to the ground and died right there. The jewel shard fell out of his back.
"How dare you interfere!" Kagura exclaimed. She waved her fan, and blades came after Miroku and Sango! Miroku held her close to him as the blades cut right across his back.
Inuyasha ran in front of them as Kagura made more blades and put Tetsaiga in front of him. The blades bounced off the sword. Quickly, I took my bow and arrow and aimed at Kagura. She saw me.
"No you don't!" she said. Her fan waved at me, and the blade came at my direction! I shot my arrow, and it hit her arm. She screamed in pain, and a blade hit my side.
Kilala grabbed me before I could get hit by more of them, then she went after Kagura. Kagura didn't know what was coming to her. Kilala bit off her other arm. Then she tackled her to the ground and mauled her to death. The screams made us all look. Kagura's head had flown to her left. She was clearly dead.
Kilala and I walked to the others. Inuyasha and Miroku were kneeling over Sango's body.
"Is she?"
"No." Miroku said. "She's holding on with the last of her strength."
Sango opened her eyes and looked to us. I smiled at her for encouragement.
"Sango..."
"Kohaku," she said, "he's dead isn't he?"
"I'm sorry Sango." Miroku said. "I'm so sorry."
Tears came out of her eyes. Miroku wiped them away.
/No Sango! Please, not you too! Hold on! You've got to stay with us! Don't die!/
"Why'd it have to be like this?" she asked. "If only things could've been different."
"Shh... Rest now, Sango." Miroku said. She weakly shook her head.
"Listen. I won't be going with you," she said, "so give Naraku hell for Kohaku and me, will you? Miroku, I love you, and I forgive you for Kohaku."
Miroku stared, then took her hands in his. There was a tear in his eye.
"I love you too, Sango. If only I could've told you sooner..."
"I understand." Sango replied. "Inuyasha, Kagome, don't let Naraku get Kohaku's jewel shard. I have to go now. Good-bye."
Closing her eyes, Sango breathed her last, shuddered, and died. I could feel tears forming in my eyes, and I hugged Inuyasha for comfort. He put his arms around me and just let me cry.
/First Shippo, the Kohaku, now you, Sango! Why is he doing this to us? It's not fair! Why didn't I just give him the jewel shard in the first place?/
Our grieving was interrupted by the breaking of a stick and evil laughter behind us.
Naraku: (crying) They won't stop! They won't stop! Get them off me!
Reaka: Well, you shouldn't have killed Shippo numb nuts! (slaps Naraku upside head. Naraku passes out. Shippo fans tie him up and carry him away.)
Sorry about that! How was that chapter? Did I make you cry? Please say I did! Please? Talk about killing spree! Three people in one chapter! I'm on a roll! Anyway, you know the drill! Read and review! Read and review...
