Chapter 5: What About You?
Princess Sango
Kara turned back to me, "What about you?"
I gave her a sad smile, "They're your parents, Kara."
She hugged me, "But Tousan, you raised me for 5 years. How can I give you up?"
Kagura butted in at the moment, "Kohaku can always come visit. He can stay with me." I looked up, hope was in her eyes, but I had to shatter it.
"I have to stay with Sango, I'm sorry it has to be that way. You're like family to me too, but I've lived away from Sango for too long." Kagura nodded, but Kara couldn't take that answer.
"Tousan, I want to see you too!" I kneeled down in front of her, taking her hand and placing it over my heart.
"You'll always be here Kara. Same as I'll always be there." I placed her hand over my heart, and then pulled her into an embrace, "You be a good girl okay?" I felt my should become wet from her tears, but she reluctantly nodded.
Then I hugged 'Kaasan, picking up my sack, and giving a solemn goodbye. Before I left I heard Kara's whimper. As I neared the village I broke down crying, knowing that Kara wasn't mine to protect anymore.
