Thank you.

==========================================

Sango made it to her doorstep before she was stopped by a voice inside her head. It reminded her to grab her purse. She started back into the room looking for it. Under the couches, under the table but to no avail; where was her purse?

The voice was speaking again...

Sango followed it and found herself in Kohaku's bedroom. Being in here brought back so many of her painful memories she locked deep inside of her head. Turning around she saw her purse...sitting on his empty dresser?

Reaching out she quickly snatched it away, scared to know the reason why it was here now. Panic raced across her. She had to get out of this apartment! Sango ran out of Kohaku's room and down the steps to the front door.

"Sango."

She froze. Why hadn't she just left earlier instead of listening to her mind? Listening to her mind? She was going nuts! It had to have something to do with that potion Sesshomaru had given to her but why would Sesshomaru do this to her? He loved her...didn't he?

"Turn around, Sango."

She couldn't even if she had wanted. Even if this person had pointed a gun to her temple and demanded of her she could not turn around.

A firm hand was on her shoulder now slowly spinning her around to face him. Her eyes shut tightly, she thought she had an idea of who that voice belonged to, but why would he want to hurt her like this?

--- In front of the High School ---

"Where is she?" Kagome cried, throwing her hands into the air. She had been looking forward to seeing her friend so badly.

"Feh." Inuyasha said, looking up and sniffing the air but all he could smell was the smell of destruction from the monster that had destroyed the high school building. The only good thing that had come out of that was school being out for five or six days; not long enough of a vacation for him.

"Inuyasha! We have to find them!" Kagome said louder this time, turning and throwing her hands high into the air, upset.

"I don't know what we're supposed to do Kagome. I don't know where they are." He said calmly. If Kagome was going to be the one freaking out so badly, he had to be the one who wasn't...but he was on the inside.

"Please go find them."

"No! They'll get here, just calm down."

"It isn't like Miroku to keep us waiting." Kagome pointed out.

"It isn't like Sango either, but Sesshomaru did have her...last." He pointed out, his face suddenly becoming paler and paler.

"How much do you trust Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked her.

"Not near enough," Kagome said, putting her hands on his shoulders and preparing to let him fly off into the distance. He bent his knees downward, reading to start bounding off to Sesshomaru's apartment.

The bastard, Inuyasha thought, taking off running.

--- Somewhere else ---

"You have it?"

"Yes."

"Show me."

The white haired full demon dropped a red vile into the palm of another man dressed in dark robes and an oversized coat that looked like it could fit about six or eight guns into the pockets.

"Enough?"

"Yes."

Sesshomaru took off running back to his home.
