As Sango walked down the dirt road after the encounter with Naraku Sango started thinking about her brother Kohaku. Even though all she had where memories, Sango still felt like it was yesterday. Sure, Naraku was controlling her brother, Yes, her brother didn't remember her, but that didn't stop Sango for loving Kohaku. Sango could kill if she wanted, that was what Naraku wanted. Sango just couldn't, it was that simple. It wasn't just because she wasn't strong enough and she was strong, Sango loved her brother and that was what Naraku didn't understand being evil as he is.

Sango's thoughts wandered for a while, drifting from memory to memory. She finally rested on one memory, from when she and her brother live at the Slayer's Village. The memory was of her and her brother; Kohaku was practicing with his sickle on small, clay pots. Sango was watching him. They where talking about demons.

Kohaku would ask "Do demons breathe toxins and fire like they say?"

Sango would reply with "Sometimes".

Kohaku then went to catch his sickle when it went through his hand. Sango then rushed over to help her brother. She bandaged the wound carefully and hugged her brother.

Sango smiled at the memory. Her brother was always kind and a little bit clumsy and afraid. Sango's thoughts wandered for a little and rested on an older memory of when she was only eight and her brother five years old. They were playing in a field of flowers. They were running around yelling and laughing, picking flowers, and just having fun! The Kohaku tripped, scraped his knee, and started crying. Sango went back and ripped a piece of cloth from her kimono and wrapped it around his knee and then gave him a very pretty flower. Kohaku then stopped crying and gave his sister a hug. Then they walked back to the village to show their mother and father all the pretty flowers they picked. Sango had to laugh at the memory.

Sango then vowed silently that she would slay Naraku and rescue her brother from Naraku's evil grasp. Looking up Sango realized that she was falling behind. So she hurried up and join the others walking down that dirt road.
