Chapter Three: Hope
"Kirara!" A girl with a long pony tail, pink eye shadow, odd outfit and a boomerang in her back was yelling constantly for her lost pet. Tears ran down her tired face as she dropped her knees to the floor. People stared at her but didn't mind to help her. One boy with black hair and dark kind eyes thought this was a cold thing to do. He quickly got out of his hard seat and ran out the coffee shop he was just in.
"Are you alright lady?" He carefully put his palm on her shoulder. She looked up at the boy and called for help without needing to speak. Her eyes were so lonely and lost it made his heart sink.
"I'm looking for my friends." She sobbed.
"I'll help you find them." He smiled benevolently. "What's your name?"
"Sango." She sobbed quietly.
"Come on. Tell me who we are looking for and I'll start searching with you."
"I'm looking for my friends called Kirara, Miroku, Kagome, and Inu-Yasha." She put her hand in her heart. "But something tells me I should be more worried about one than the others. I called their names continually but none of them seem to be near." She closed her eyes slowly and more silent tears slid down her soft face.
"How did you get lost here?" He kneeled in front of her.
"All I remember is a white flash and I woke up in a forest with children playing in it. They looked at me with worried faces but when they saw I was ok they started playing in metal shapes again." The boy laughed. "What's so funny?" She yelled at him.
"Sorry Sango but the only forest is up there. The forest you are talking about was a park. It is designed for children to play in." The boy told her. She apparently came from a far away place that didn't have much civilization.
"Oh…" She looked at the mountains. "So can you help me search for them?"
"I already told you. I will do anything to see your smile." He touched her hand softly. In that moment exactly Sango saw a kind non-perverted Miroku with soft caring eyes, take place of the boy. She could see his smile and care for her. Sango rapidly stood up and backed away. "What's wrong?" He stood up and stared at her scared face.
"N-nothing it's just I'm scared."
"Oh, I'm sorry." His ears reddened.
"It's not your fault." She looked at the mountains, now her face was showing determination and no proof of pain in her face, but it still looked like it needed someone to be by her side. "With your help, I know I will find my friends. We are still in Japan right?"
"Of course." He smiled. "I've never left Japan."
"Where do we start looking?" She looked at the boy's mellow face. "Tell me your name first."
"Oh, my name is Rey." He smiled. "First we start by asking people if they've seen your friends. If you don't have pictures you describe how they look."
"Ok." She nodded.
They spent their last few hours of daylight asking people if they have seen their friends without stopping for breaks. Rey seemed tired but he told her they would stop until she was the one who was tired. He thought it would be soon since she was caring a giant boomerang in her back. Unfortunately she didn't get tired; she was stronger than he thought. He sighed every time their answers turned out to be "no", which meant more walking. Then Sango sadly sat down on a bench and put her head down. Rey dropped next to her with exhaustion and sighed heavily.
"Man my feet are killing me." He said with his tongue almost sticking out. They both sat in the bench for a few minutes taking in the fresh air that wanted to be friendly but couldn't reach Sango. She stared at the mountains thinking of something from the past. "What are you thinking about?"
"About when I was last with my friends." She said slowly.
"What happened?" He picked up his dropped head and looked at Sango gravely.
"We were fighting this evil guy who wanted to rule the world and everything was going wrong. It began when two of my friends were fighting. It was usual as always but as the fight went on there was something wrong. As we listened closely there was something strange in his voice…"
"Who's voice?"
"Inu-Yasha was worried but she wouldn't listen."
"Oh."
"Then everything darkened, the sky, the forest the water got colder. Everything was feeling what he was feeling…"
Flashback
"Osuwari!" Kagome yelled. Inu-Yasha was sent down to the ground crashing really hard, face first.
"Look!" A little boy with a bushy tail, cried and pointed at the sky. Everyone saw the white pillow like clouds turning to a cold foggy black faster than any cloud had changed. Inu-Yasha straightened up and leaped to the forest without saying a word.
End Flashback
"We found him fighting with him but when we all arrived it was too late. Miroku tried to stop him but the white light blinded us and I woke up in this place alone." She looked at her boomerang. "The last words he said don't seem to leave my mind for some reason."
"What did he say?"
"He said: 'You don't stand a chance of ever doing that.'"
"Wonder what he meant." Rey looked up at the stars. Sango did too and saw how there was less stars to be seen here than in the past. She sighed. Even the stars seemed to be sad. Everything around her appeared to feel what she was feeling, too. The sky wouldn't stop crying, the stars faded with sadness, the trees shortened with the pressure of the pain, the grass stopped growing softly with emptiness, and the wind blew harshly with anger. Nothing was going right and everything around her was dying. "Let's eat some dinner." Rey stretched and yawned.
"I'm not hungry." She stared at the empty grass.
"Come on." Rey looked at her face. "You haven't eaten anything all day." He got out of the bench and pulled her up. Sango smiled and followed him to a small restaurant.
"This is really good, but I know someone who does it better." Sango smiled as she ate with fake happiness.
"Really?" He smiled back. "Then you should introduce me to this person."
"I will once I find her."
"Do you have a place to stay?" Rey asked her.
"No." She said concentrated on her food.
"You could stay with me."
"Oh no! I have caused enough trouble already." She stared at Rey with worried eyes.
"Don't worry! No one will mind."
"And to think," A chef popped up next to their table out of nowhere and made Rey jump; "I was going to paint and fix the room today."
"Sorry?" Rey stared at the chef in confusion.
"I was going to fix the room so I can rent it. There seems to be a lot of people who don't have a place to stay."
"Really." Rey said. "Who has been using your room?" he asked
"Why, a young man." He smiled. "His name was…" He paused. "What was his name?" He scratched his head. "I have a bad memory. I'll bring you something hot to drink and I might recall what his name was. The drink's on me." He turned around to leave. "For some strange reason I feel like giving today." He said to himself. Sango and Rey stared at each other.
"Do you thing it might be one of your friends?" Rey whispered.
"I learned to never give up hope." She looked out of the restaurant's window. "I have gone through a lot and learned that no matter how bad things get there is always hope, even if you can't see it."
"Wow…" Rey stared at her with admiration. "Never give up hope." He smiled.
"But I also learned not to get too excited. It might not be any of my friends."
"Ah yes!" the chef yelled at them from the kitchen. "The man's name was Miroku!" Sango gasped.
"Where did he leave to?" Sango yelled back.
"Up that mountain on your left."
"Thank you!" She stood up, grabbed her boomerang and ran out the door.
"Wait! You forgot your coffee!" The chef came running out.
"I'll take it! Thank you!" Rey dropped some money in the chef's apron took the cups of tea and ran after her new friend.
