Chapter 6: Without Her

Princess Sango

Sango, Kagome, Miroku, and Inuyasha were surprised when Kara didn't come back. I guess they didn't have to ask, Inuyasha and Miroku probably told them, and my look gave it all away. Miroku pulled me aside when everyone had fallen asleep that night. "You want to tell me?"

I nodded, "Kara's parents are both still alive. Kagura and Sesshoumaru are here parents. I'm going back in a few days."

Miroku looked at me in thought, "She's as lucky as Shippo, many people love and care for her."

I just stared, "What do you know about it?"

"I also met a girl when called Koharu when I was 16," Miroku looked at me before continuing, "She loved me, but I couldn't love her that way. So I had to leave her behind, as much as I cared for her, like an older brother."

I asked bluntly, "Then I guess what you meant was that, to love someone, means letting them go sometime?" Miroku nodded before leaving me to my own thoughts.

1 year later...

I work hard, trying to forget that Kara was ever my daughter. I started to think of her as a friend, after all, she has stopped calling me father. Even though she brought things up, we still knew. Now that I'm 18, I'm hoping to have a new family. For now, I'm fine, and I know I can raise a child, no matter what happens. Everything is different, and that's okay, as long as I know Kara, Kagura, and the Yasha gang are safe.

The End
