Chapter 8: A Friendship Broken

Natura opened her eyes and saw that the sun was setting. She heard a loud crash and laughing

outside so she decided to see what was going on. She slowly got up and as soon as she stood

upright her nausea got worst. She fought the feeling down with all her might. She walked out the

hut and saw Inuyasha on the ground in pain and Kagome over him. Sango was standing with

Kilala in her hand. Shippo was on Miroku's shoulder and Miroku was sitting under a tree. 'How

am I going to tell them, especially Sango,' she thought. She didn't want to disturb them so she

turned around. Before she was fully around her named was called.

"Natura your up!" Shippo said jumping off of Miroku's shoulder and running towards her.

Natura smiled and said "Yea. How was your walk?"

"It was very good, I missed you though." Natura blushed at Shippo's love for her.

Natura walked over to where the rest of the group was. Miroku looked at Natura and smiled

telling her that he wanted her now. Natura just ignored him. He wondered what was wrong and

remembered that she was feeling sick lately.

"Natura," Miroku started, "how are you feeling?"

"I am feeling better, thank you for asking."

Sango then asked, "Did Kaede find out what was wrong with you?"

Natura's body ran cold, she didn't know whether to tell them or not so she just lied and said,

"No she didn't, she just said that plenty of rest will have me feeling better in no time." Natura

smiled and thought, ' Yea like in 8 months and two weeks.'

Inuyasha smelt something different about his sister, but didn't know what it was.

"You know Natura, you never told us how you and Sango became friends." Kagome said

looking at Natura then at Sango.

"Well, I will tell you if you really want to know," Natura said. She looked at Sango and smiled at

her. Sango smiled back.

"Ooooo tell us please please." Shippo said

"Well it all started when I was sent to her village to get some water---"

-Flashback-
"Hey she is a quater demon." said kid number one.

"An ugly girl. She disgraces humans." kid number two added.

"Hey lets beat her up?" kid number one said slapping her across her face.

They started beating up Natura. She was unable to do anything because she didn't know how to

control her powers yet. Natura was crying and the two boys that were beating her up didn't

care. Just then a giant boomerang came out of nowhere and hit the two boys. They fell to the

ground.
"So what if she is a quater demon what did she do to you." A little girl's voice said.

The boys started to cry and ran home screaming for their mothers. The little girl retrieved her

boomerang and went towards Natura who had a lot of bruises. She was curled up into a ball

crying.
"Hi my name is Sango, what's yours."

"Go away."

"Oh well it's nice to meet you go away." Sango smiled

Natura got out of the position she was in and sat up straight. She realized that Sango was

different. A smiled slowly crept on Natura's face. "My name is Natura."

"Natura, hmm.. I like that name."

"Thanks."

"So what are you doing here Natura?"

"I was sent to come get some water from this village, then those mean boys started picking on

me. Then you came and, and you saved me."

"Well, it was no big deal, just helping out someone in need."

"Thank you so much."

It was silent for a minute and then Sango broke it,

"Natura do you want to be my friend?"

"Friend?"

"Yea, my friend."

"Yes, I do."

"OK, then lets go friend." Sango smiled and Natura smiled back. They walked together and

from that day on they were the best friends.

-End of Flashback-
"--And that's how we became friends." Sango and Natura looked at each other at the

remembrance of old times. Just then a gust of wind picked up. Natura's eyes quickly darted to

Inuyasha and she said, "Inuyasha we got company."

"Yea, I smell the demon, its....its Kaugra's scent."

'Oh no not this bitch.' Natura thought as she rolled her eyes.

Kaugra's jumped off her feather and was greeted by Inuyasha and his Tetsusaiga.

"Kaugra I am giving you two seconds to disappear or I will have to make you."

"Now, now Inuyasha why so feisty, can't I get a nice greeting I feel like I'm not wanted."

"That's, because you aren't." Natura said

"Oh, isn't it Natura, we've missed you at the castle, won't you come back home."

"I rather die than go back to Naraku."

"Oh really, good thing you've mentioned that cause I have come to kill you."

"Why don't you leave her alone." Sango said jumping in front of her friend as if she was unable

to help herself.

"Aww... isn't that sweet a friend taking up for a friend although the other has lied to them."

Sango looked confused. "What?" She looked at Natura "Natura what is she talking about."

Natura just looked at Kaugra with complete disgust.

"What's wrong Natura afraid that your secret will end your friendship."

"Shut up, Kaugra."

"Well, Sango, if she isn't going to tell you I guess I will."

"Kaugra I'm warning you."

"The reason why Natura has been so sick lately is because she is pregnant."

Everyone was in shock. They all looked at Natura with eyes wide open. 'I knew I smelled

something different about her,' Inuyasha thought. Miroku was smiling at this point,' I'm going to

have a child.'

"Natura, is that true?" Kagome asked

Natura hesitated for a while and decided to tell the truth.

"Yes, it is, I am pregnant." Natura held her head down although she was happy she was going to

have Miroku's child she felt bad for some reason.

Kaugra smirked at this and said, "Hmmm.. and I wonder who's own it is. Let's search the

possibilities; It couldn't be Inuyasha's because he's her brother and of course Shippo is out of

the picture because he is still young, well that leaves-"

Eyes went on Miroku, he just stood there blushing.

"Yes, that just leaves the monk." Kaugra was enjoying this very much.

Sango and Kagome just stood there in disbelief.

"Natura, Are you gonna have Miroku's baby." Sango asked with tears starting to well in her

eyes.

Natura didn't say anything. She now knew why she felt so bad. She felt bad because she saw

that Sango had feelings for Miroku and she came and got in the way.

"Natura, dammit, are you going to have Miroku's baby?" Sango was out of it. Natura was

scared to answer, she never heard her friend use her name like that.

"Yes, it's true all of it is true." Natura broke down in tears, "I'm sorry Sango."

"No," Sango started, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry I ever met you and called you my friend, your not

my friend your a bitch." Sango ran off into the woods crying. Kagome ran after her.

Natura fell to the floor and sobbed Miroku ran to her and tried to comfort her.

"Well, I guess my job is half done, but I will come back later and finish it, bye for now." Kaugra

went on her feather and headed toward the castle. Inuyasha and Shippo were in a daze. They

didn't know what to do. Natura was still crying and Miroku held her in his arms. She had

broken up her and Sango's friendship and what's worse is that Sango had called her a bitch.

Natura just wished that she could do the whole thing over without falling in love with Miroku.
